Chapter 272 Helping Chen Meilan with her clothes
"Xiao Su, come here for a moment. I need your help with something."
After a moment of silence, Chen Meilan finally spoke.
What could Director Chen want from her?
Did he get caught sneaking around at work?
That's not right. Director Chen's expression doesn't seem like he's angry, but more like he's shy.
While Su Xiaoxiao was daydreaming, she had already followed Chen Meilan to her director's office.
Chen Meilan walked over and closed the office door, then turned around and looked at Su Xiaoxiao.
"Xiao Su, I..."
Chen Meilan had just started talking when she bit her lower lip, looking very embarrassed.
It was the first time that Su Xiaoxiao saw Chen Meilan, who was always calm and composed, show such an expression.
I quickly came up with a bold guess in my mind: could it be because of the gay man I went on a blind date with yesterday?
Just as she thought of this, Chen Meilan spoke as if to confirm her idea.
"Someone asked me out for dinner tonight, and I don't know how to dress. Can you give me some advice?"
After a long silence, Chen Meilan finally spoke out her troubles with a blushing face.
She thought the outfit Su Xiaoxiao dressed her up for yesterday looked very nice, but she fiddled with it in front of the mirror for a long time this morning but couldn't get the same effect. Instead, it looked a bit weird. She had no other choice, so she thought of asking Su Xiaoxiao for help.
It turned out to be because of the blind date yesterday.
Su Xiaoxiao immediately revealed a gossipy expression. She didn't expect that a mature and steady female comrade like Director Chen would be as shy and uneasy as an ordinary girl when talking about her boyfriend.
"Director Chen, you two have already confirmed your relationship, right? Are you going out on a date right now?"
She couldn't help but tease.
Chen Meilan's face flushed red as she lowered her head, fiddling with the hem of her clothes, looking like a nervous young girl in love. "You...don't talk nonsense. We're just ordinary friends now. At most, we have a little affection for each other and are still in the getting-to-know-you stage."
"Hey, hey, you're going on a date alone while you're still in the getting-to-know-you stage. You're moving pretty fast."
Chen Meilan blushed even more. "Stop teasing me and help me figure out what to wear tonight. I've brought all the clothes."
As she spoke, Chen Meilan took out the clothes and hair accessories she brought with her. Su Xiaoxiao frowned at just one look.
"Director Chen, are you sure these clothes are meant for a date? Not for work? They're too old."
Wow, each outfit looks more formal than the last. If you don’t know, you’d think they’re attending some important occasion.
Chen Meilan was a little nervous because of what she said: "Xiao Su, what's wrong with these clothes? They are all new, and I haven't worn them many times."
Su Xiaoxiao helplessly held her forehead and said, "It's not a question of whether they are new or not, but the styles of these clothes are too old. You can wear them even if you are a dozen years older."
Otherwise, she always thought that Chen Meilan must be thirty years old. With such old-fashioned clothes, even a thirty-year-old would be conservative.
And her hair was always combed meticulously, making her look like the old-fashioned and strict headmaster when she was in high school.
Su Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly: "Director Chen, if you want to change yourself, you must first start with your clothes. All these clothes must be thrown away."
"What? I just bought these clothes. They're not worn or worn out..."
Su Xiaoxiao quickly interrupted her, "Director Chen, you're only in your early twenties, the prime of your life. You're really wasting your pretty face by dressing so old-fashioned every day."
It was the first time Chen Meilan heard someone praise her for her beauty, and her face immediately turned even redder: "Am I really good-looking?"
"certainly!"
Su Xiaoxiao changed the subject at this point: "Director Chen, let me tell you, if you just dress up a little, change your style of clothing, and get a new hairstyle, I guarantee that a lot of gay men will fall for you."
"What are you talking about? I don't want other gay men falling for me."
Chen Meilan's face turned red like a ripe tomato after she said that.
"I understand, I understand. You just want that person to fall in love with you, right?"
Su Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and giggled. Chen Meilan glanced at her shyly: "Help me take a look quickly, don't delay my work."
"Okay, okay, I'll take a good look at it for you right now. I guarantee that whoever sees it today won't be able to tear their eyes away."
Su Xiaoxiao joked, then reached out and rummaged through the pile of clothes, finally finding two decent ones.
A dark red polka dot shirt, paired with a black knee-length skirt, and a brown mid-length tweed jacket.
Su Xiaoxiao took a step back and looked her up and down. Chen Meilan had fair skin, and this outfit looked both retro and fashionable on her. It was just that hairstyle...
Her eyes fell on Chen Meilan's hair, and her brows furrowed slightly. "Director Chen, your hair isn't very suitable. If you have time, it would be best to perm it into big waves and let it down. If you really don't have time, it would be better to tie your hair up a bit."
"Well, Director Chen, please sit here first. I'll sort it out for you so you can see the difference."
"Okay, thank you for your help, Xiao Su."
Chen Meilan sat down as Su Xiaoxiao said, waiting for Su Xiaoxiao to tidy her hair.
Su Xiaoxiao parted her hair and tied it into a bun, then made her hair more fluffy, leaving some loose hair on both sides.
The person who looked serious and old-fashioned just now suddenly looked much more youthful, and even his hair seemed to be much thicker than before.
Su Xiaoxiao picked up the round mirror on the table and handed it to Chen Meilan. "Director Chen, take a look. Isn't it much better than before? If you get a perm and put on some light makeup, you'll look even better."
Chen Meilan's facial features are very elegant and three-dimensional. If she puts on a little makeup, it will definitely highlight the advantages of her facial features.
Chen Meilan felt a little embarrassed by her praise. She took a look in the mirror and was immediately shocked by herself in the mirror.
Is this really her?
She never thought she could look so beautiful, and she looked even more charming than the one she wore yesterday.
After coming to her senses, she hurriedly apologized to Su Xiaoxiao: "Xiao Su, thank you, I will definitely treat you to a meal when I am free next time."
"Director Chen, we are all family, why are you being so polite to me? If you need anything in the future, just come to me. Even if I can't do anything else, I am still quite good at matching clothes."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Director Chen, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."
"Okay, okay, go back and do your work first. I'll treat you to dinner another day."
Su Xiaoxiao quickly returned to the grocery counter, and as soon as she got back, she was met with two pairs of gossipy eyes.
Qin Shuang came back without knowing when.
"Xiaoxiao, what does Director Chen want you to do?"
The two of them came forward curiously. Since they were all family, Su Xiaoxiao did not hide anything and immediately told them about how she helped Chen Meilan choose clothes.
Qin Shuang was eager to try it out when he heard this: "Xiaoxiao, I also have a date tonight, can you help me with the matchmaking?"
Before Su Xiaoxiao could speak, she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.
