Back home, with Xiao Muyu's advice, Jiang Xiaoli chose a misty blue suit.
Xiao Muyu was stunned by her skillful makeup application. "Xiao Li, when did you secretly learn this trick behind my back?"
Jiang Xiaoli pulled her down to sit and examined her for a while. "Shall I try doing your makeup?"
Xiao Muyu didn't refuse, "You're not just using me as a test subject, are you?"
She rested her chin on her hand. "Does my skill level look like I need to test my skills?"
"Alright then." Xiao Muyu looked at her exquisite makeup and relented a little. "Then you do it, but don't overdo it!"
Jiang Xiaoli nodded and smiled, "Just you wait and see!"
She gave Xiao Muyu a simple skincare treatment and then opened a new powder puff to start applying makeup to her.
Xiao Muyu asked curiously, "I feel like makeup is very difficult, how come you are so skilled at it?"
Jiang Xiaoli gave an answer: "I started a clothing company with my classmates, and models need to have complete makeup to match the clothes for the display. Practice makes perfect."
In reality, the "307" campaign had professional makeup artists, so there was no need for her to do it herself. What she was talking about were her personal experiences when she started her business in her previous life.
Xiao Muyu nodded. "I see. Xiao Li, to be honest, I think with your drive to work hard to make money, you can succeed at anything."
"Look up," she said with a smile as she applied eyeliner to her eyes. "That's what I call loving what you do!"
Xiao Muyu turned to look at herself in the mirror, and her mouth dropped open in surprise, "Xiao Li, my eyes have gotten so much bigger!"
Xiao Muyu's eyes were originally long and narrow, but with her skillful strokes, they appeared even more lively and full of youthful charm.
Jiang Xiaoli raised an eyebrow. "So, is this guest satisfied?"
Xiao Muyu couldn't hide her joy. "Mmm, do I need to get my eyelashes done or something? Put them on for me!"
"No problem!" She quickly finished touching up her eye makeup.
The pinkish-brown eyeshadow shimmered with every blink of her eyes, which Xiao Muyu loved.
Jiang Xiaoli pinched her chin, "Don't be so vain yet, let me touch up your makeup."
Twenty minutes later, Xiao Muyu, who doesn't usually like taking photos, took the initiative to say, "Xiao Li, take a picture of me to remember this moment."
Jiang Xiaoli didn't look for the camera; instead, she turned around and rummaged through the dressing room to put together an outfit.
"You're all dressed up so beautifully today, of course we have to go out and take pictures. Go, change your clothes, and come with me to the celebration party tonight."
Xiao Muyu hesitated for a moment, "There are so many people at the celebration banquet, is it appropriate for me to go?"
Jiang Xiaoli pulled her to face the vanity mirror, "Tell the beautiful woman in the mirror that you really don't want to go out?"
Xiao Muyu nodded to herself in the mirror, "Okay, I'll go change. But is this size right for me?"
Jiang Xiaoli rolled her eyes. "Don't brag to me about your height! This outfit is a sample of 'Five's' new product; it was originally meant for you!"
The two of them had been fussing around at home for almost three hours, with Zhong Yuan relentlessly urging her to hurry up.
At 5:50 p.m., the two of them leisurely drove to the restaurant.
Zong Jia and Zhong Yuan waited together at the restaurant entrance. When they saw Jiang Xiaoli's car, they went to greet it at the same time.
Jiang Xiaoli got out of the car and complained, "Brother Yuan, it's just a celebration banquet! You're acting like it's your life! What's the rush? I'm here now!"
Zhong Yuan stared at the two of them for a few seconds, then Zong Jiayu stepped forward and took Jiang Xiaoli's hand, "Xiaoli, it's just a celebration banquet, is it really necessary to dress up so carefully?"
She smiled, her round almond-shaped eyes seeming to sparkle. "What, are you captivated by me?"
Zong Jia nodded seriously, "Yes, Little Pear is really beautiful."
Even Zhong Yuan, who had come to his senses, said something fair: "Little Pear, you two look really good today! If you had told me you and Little Rain were getting ready at home, why would I have rushed you?"
Jiang Xiaoli held Zong Jiayu's hand with her right hand and Xiao Muyu's hand with her left, saying, "With so many celebrities here today, how can we not dress up?"
Zhong Yuan thought about the guests present today, and he smiled, "You're right! Come on, let's go in, Xin Xin is still waiting for us inside!"
As soon as they entered the banquet hall, Shen Zhaokun apologized to the people around him and quickened his pace to walk to their side.
He smiled broadly and said, "President Jiang, you are more dazzling than many of the actors and celebrities present today!"
Jiang Xiaoli glanced at the glamorous celebrities at the other end of the banquet hall and said with a smile, "Director Shen, are you teasing me?"
Shen Zhaokun waved his hands repeatedly, patting his chest to assure everyone that what he said came from the bottom of his heart.
He said, "President Jiang, if we could get you to play the leading role, you could easily be the female lead!"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and shook her head. "Alright, Director Shen, don't be so polite with me. Today is a joyous occasion for our 'Outstanding Talent'. I'll toast you."
Shen Zhaokun immediately instructed the waiter next to him to refill his glass. "President Jiang, it's only right and proper that I toast you this glass. Enough said, it's all in the drink. I'll drink it first!"
After saying that, he downed the entire glass of red wine in one gulp.
He turned his head and suddenly saw Xiao Muyu next to Jiang Xiaoli. "Hey, President Jiang, who is this...?"
Jiang Xiaoli saw through his thoughts. "This is my good friend Xiao Muyu. She came with me today because she had nothing to do. Don't you dare try anything with her!"
Shen Zhaokun chuckled awkwardly, "President Jiang really has a keen eye. I just think Miss Xiao's image is really suitable for acting..."
Zhong Yuan couldn't stand it anymore. He put his arm around Shen Zhaokun and left, saying, "Come on, Xiaoyu is a future great doctor. You'd better put away your little schemes!"
Jiang Xiaoli put her wine glass aside and raised an eyebrow at Xiao Muyu. "How about it? You're overjoyed to have caught the director's eye, aren't you?"
Xiao Muyu slapped her lightly, embarrassed and annoyed, "You're always making fun of me!"
She turned to Zong Jiayu, who was acting as a security guard beside her, and said, "Aren't you going to do anything about her?!"
Unfortunately, Zong Jia and his girlfriend are from the same country, and he also said with a smile, "Xiao Yu really looks great today."
Jiang Xiaoli patted her hand, "Xiaoyu, we're still young. If we don't take care of ourselves now, are we going to wait until we're fifty or sixty?"
Xiao Muyu felt as if she had been bewitched, "You're always right!"
Hu Jingxin had just gone to the restroom, and when she returned to the banquet hall, she excitedly ran to them.
She recognized Xiao Muyu's outfit at a glance. "Xiaoyu! This outfit practically screams 'you!' You look so good in it! And your makeup today, did Xiaoli do it for you? You look so beautiful, little fairy, let me hug you!"
