Volume 1 Chapter 26: Why withdraw?
Melo Beauty Salon is a high-end beauty salon that integrates diversified services such as manicure, eyelash extension, tattoo and skin care.
The store is designed with three floors, with each floor covering nearly 200 square meters. The first floor provides nail services; the second floor offers eyelash extensions, tattoo embroidery and other services; the third floor focuses on providing professional skin care projects such as microbubble, hyaluronic acid injection, photorejuvenation and hair removal.
Wen Fei introduced to Du Ruo that this store was opened by her good friend Xu Daiyue, who was also Xu Jingmo's cousin. Her wedding date was scheduled for the May Day holiday. She was busy with wedding matters recently and was not in the store. She would introduce them to each other next time when there was a chance.
"Okay." Du Ruo replied casually, not taking it to heart.
The receptionist at the store knew Wen Fei and greeted her with a smile when she saw her coming: "Sister Fei, here you are. Would you like a manicure or skin care today?"
Wen Fei: "Bring your friends to get a manicure."
Two manicurists were arranged at the front desk to serve them.
Wen Fei has collected a lot of beautiful nail art pictures on her mobile phone, and she changes the style every week. This time was no exception, and she provided the style to the nail artist herself.
The manicurist serving Du Ruo asked politely, "Do you have a style you want?"
Du Ruo shook her head. It was her first time to get a manicure and she had no idea what it was like.
The manicurist then took out the store's iPad and let her look at the pictures and choose a style.
Du Ruo flipped through the various nail art renderings on the iPad and was dazzled.
She usually doesn't come into contact with any girls of her age, let alone girls who like to dress up.
Wen Fei was the first girl of the same age she had come into contact with. She dressed up beautifully, cutely and fragrantly every day. Her nails were novel and beautiful when you just looked at them. Now, seeing the room full of manicurists and various renderings on iPads, Du Ruo suddenly felt that she had lost her sense of aesthetics. They all looked the same to her and there was no style that she particularly liked.
Wen Fei had already started to let the manicurist remove her nails. Seeing that Du Ruo hadn't decided on the style she wanted, she offered her advice and asked, "Sister, how about you tell me the color you like and let the manicurist recommend it to you?"
Du Ruo replied: "Then let's go with green."
She likes the color green.
Wen Fei laughed and teased, "Only you dare to do this."
Du Ruo looked puzzled, "Why?"
Wen Fei explained: "Green is very challenging for skin color. People with darker hands will fail. But you have fair skin, so don't worry about it. Just do it with confidence, it will definitely look good!"
The manicurist quickly found a bunch of green nail art styles and gave them to her. Du Ruo still felt that everything was the same. All the bling bling looked similar, so she just randomly picked a light green color that she liked.
Then, according to the manicurist's instructions, I stretched out my hands one by one to cooperate with her, grinding my nails, applying oil, and shining the light... over and over again...
Du Ruo asked curiously, "Is it so complicated to do a manicure?"
Wen Fei said, "Your method of using the original nail is relatively simple. My method of attaching nail plates and gluing diamonds is complicated."
"So..." Du Ruo nodded in understanding.
Her concept of manicure was when she was 3 years old and painted nails for Barbie dolls, and could paint ten fingernails in one minute.
I never thought that painting a nail would be so troublesome now...
Time passed by minute by minute, and Du Ruo's patience was about to run out.
She actually sat on this chair for almost two hours. During this time, she was not allowed to play with her phone. She had been chatting with Wen Fei to kill time. However, she could easily kill the conversation and ended up listening attentively to the love story between Wen Fei and Ji Yunbai. She had never felt so nervous when she was waiting for the experimental results in the laboratory...
"Okay!" Finally, Du Ruo felt relieved when he heard the manicurist say it was over. He opened his hands and took a look. The effect was 100% the same as in the picture. The craftsmanship was very good.
"Wow! It looks so good!" Wen Fei praised in surprise.
The manicurist also praised: "Many nail art pictures are photoshopped. This is the first time I have seen such fair and slender fingers. They are so beautiful. Can I take a photo and share it on WeChat Moments?"
Du Ruo stretched out his hand and motioned for her to do as she pleased.
The manicurist excitedly stood up and took her hand, took Du Ruo to a place with perfect lighting, took a lot of photos, and praised her: "If I send this photo to our boss, she will definitely not only not charge you, but also be willing to pay you to advertise our store."
Wen Fei smiled and said, "What do you think? I told you that you can be a hand model, right? A woman's hands are her second face. How come every part of you is so perfect? It's really enviable!"
Du Ruo looked at his hands and was surprised. Can he make money just by using his hands? Is it that easy?
Wen Fei's style was more complicated than Du Ruo's, and it would take a while. Du Ruo had long lost her patience and didn't want to sit there any longer, so she wandered around the house. There were shelves with rows of nail polish next to her, and she looked at them curiously.
As I was watching, my cell phone rang. It was a WeChat message from Xu Jingmo.
[My class is almost over, are you at the club or at home? ]
Du Ruo: [Sister Fei and I are doing manicures. ]
Xu Jingmo: [Where is the store? ]
Du Ruo: [She said it was your cousin’s shop.]
Xu Jingmo: [I understand. Wait for me there.]
Du Ruo: [Okay.]
After replying, Du Ruo thought for a moment, took a photo of her new manicure, and sent it to Xu Jingmo.
Xu Jingmo: [Beautiful manicure makes the hands look even better. ]
Du Ruo: [Sharing my happy story today, Sister Fei and the store clerk said that I can use my hands as a hand model to make money. ]
The messages from both people appeared on the chat interface almost at the same time.
Xu Jingmo clicked withdraw immediately.
Du Ruo: [Why withdraw? ]
Du Ruo: [I saw it.]
Du Ruo: [I also know that my hands are beautiful. ]
In the classroom, Xu Jingmo looked at Du Ruo's extremely calm reply and sighed helplessly, feeling embarrassed and annoyed.
What was he thinking... He actually thought that Du Ruo came to ask for his opinion...
Shi Rui noticed his abnormality and came over to ask in a low voice, "Second brother, what are you looking at? Your ears are red."
Xu Jingmo turned off his phone without changing his expression. "My ears are red? I guess someone is thinking about me."
Shi Rui: “…” How shameless!
But with a face like that, it's really hard to refute.
It’s amazing that he’s so handsome!
