Master Kong, who was drinking tea, was stunned when he heard this. He then raised his head and glanced at Su Nan, frowning, wondering what she wanted to say to him.
"What's up?"
Su Nan took a deep breath and began to describe the cooperation that had just occurred to him.
"You mean you have a set of cosmetics bought from abroad, and you want to sell it to a photo studio later?" Master Kong put down the cup and fell into deep thought.
Hearing this, Su Nan quickly waved his hands in denial: "No, I mean I sell cosmetics and then take a cut from the money customers pay."
"The photo studio already has cosmetics, why do they have to use yours? If they use yours, they have to pay you for it. This is not cost-effective." Master Kong looked at Su Nan expressionlessly, making it impossible to tell what he was really thinking.
"Actually, when I was putting on makeup today, two of the things I used were brought by me." Su Nan took out a tube of liquid foundation and a box of loose powder from his arms and showed them to everyone.
"If it weren't for this makeup product of mine, I wouldn't have been able to achieve such a beautiful look today. You can compare the makeup on the dressing table over there with mine."
Jiang Hongqin stepped forward and took the two boxes of things from Su Nan's hand, then walked to the dressing table, applied both of them on her face and rubbed them open. After rubbing them open, she looked at her face in the mirror and couldn't help but scream.
In the mirror, I saw that the right half of her face was painted with Su Nan's makeup, which made her look natural, fair, and moisturized, while the left half was painted with makeup from a photo studio, which looked fake, cakey, and mottled.
High and low stand.
Master Kong and Xia Congjie could also see the pros and cons of each, and they were silent for a moment.
These cosmetics in the photo studio were allocated by the higher-ups and have been there for many years. They are no longer useful. Besides, few people who come to take photos usually use them.
So no one cares if these cosmetics go bad.
But today's incident allowed them to see the charm of makeup and Su Nan's makeup skills. She herself said that she learned the skills from a master in Shanghai?
They are not short-sighted people. Based on the reactions of the two customers today, they can guess that if others know that they can look better in photos with makeup, the photo studio's business will definitely become better.
Those who originally didn't want to take pictures because they didn't want to see it will also come and try it.
With more people, the photo studio will earn more money.
In this way, the photo studio's performance may not be at the bottom every year.
But Su Nan has to take a dime every time, isn't that too much? Or should he just do it once and for all?
Before Master Kong could say anything, he heard Su Nan sigh softly, then he said, "Actually, I'm new here, and this is my first job. I really hope the photo studio will be prosperous."
"This way I don't have to worry about being laid off. That's why I suggested using more fashionable makeup products to create more fashionable makeup, so as to attract more people to do my makeup and take photos."
"I originally wanted to donate this set of cosmetics to the country free of charge, as a contribution to the construction of New China."
"I'm alone, far away from home, with no relatives or friends. My family has suddenly suffered a setback, and now they're no longer well off. They don't send me any money, so I, a weak woman, have to rely on myself to earn money and support myself."
"That's why I had to come up with this way to earn more money and send it back so that my parents and younger brother can have enough to eat."
When talking about the emotional part, Su Nan shed a few tears, and her eyes were red, not to mention how pitiful she looked.
"I think it's terrible, Master Kong. When I collected the money just now, it was the first time I saw someone so eager to pay. They were afraid that if they were late, we wouldn't develop their photos."
Jiang Hongqin put down the things in her hands, ran to Su Nan with an "asymmetrical" face, patted her back to comfort her.
Xia Congjie exchanged a glance with Master Kong and tried to smooth things over: "Then our studio will pay a few dozen yuan to buy the makeup products you have. This way you can make more stable profits without having to deal with the hassle and instability of buying hair each time."
Hearing this, Su Nan spit inwardly. He wanted to buy the international brand cosmetics from her for just a few dozen yuan? She was quite beautiful in thought, and he didn't even care whether she agreed or not.
However, Su Nan still pretended to be embarrassed and stammered: "It's not that I don't want to sell it, it's that I can't sell it. It's a gift from my closest relatives. If I sell it, what kind of person will I be?"
"Besides, this set of statues sells for thousands of dollars abroad."
Hearing this, everyone gasped. Thousands of US dollars? Thousands of RMB was already a big deal, but US dollars?
"Xiao Su, are you kidding me? How can a few cosmetics sell for so much money?" Xia Congjie retorted with a smile, a look of disbelief on his face, showing his suspicion that Su Nan was raising the price.
"I'm not kidding. These days, foreign luxury cosmetics are incredibly hard to come by in China. When I was in Shanghai, the rich girls from wealthy families couldn't even get them even after scrambling through department stores."
"You men may not be very aware of the things we women use, but they're incredibly expensive. A bottle of domestic brand vanishing cream can cost dozens of dollars, not to mention foreign brands."
Jiang Hongqin frowned, thought for a moment, and agreed, "I went to the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday and saw that a bottle of facial cream was selling for ten yuan. I looked at it for a long time but couldn't bring myself to buy it."
"Look, it's already so expensive in Sang'an County, not to mention the big cities in China and abroad, where it's definitely even more expensive."
Su Nan saw that Master Kong and Xia Congjie's expressions relaxed a little, but then immediately frowned again. She felt like there was a huge rock in her heart that was moving up and down, making her feel uneasy.
"Didn't you say that your family is not well off? Then how can you afford such expensive things?" Master Kong stared into Su Nan's eyes and asked in a deep voice.
Su Nan slapped her thigh and cried, "Our family used to be very rich, but we encountered some misfortunes recently and were dragged down by others, so we are now so poor."
"My parents loved me very much. Seeing that I liked to tinker with these things, they sent me to learn the craft. They also asked our relatives living abroad to buy me a set of cosmetics and send them over."
After listening to the whole thing, Master Kong showed an expression of "I see, that's what I heard" and had no doubt about the truthfulness of Su Nan's words.
Because Su Nan really has a temperament that can only be cultivated by a wealthy family. To be honest, she is just like the daughter of a landlord in the old days.
Moreover, it was obvious that she had been brought up in a pampered environment. There was not a trace of working as a child on her body. She had a delicate and beautiful appearance, fair and tender skin, and slender hands without calluses.
All of this made the other three people believe Su Nan's words without a doubt.
Jiang Hongqin felt sorry for Su Nan's "family downfall" and hugged her.
Xia Congjie rolled his eyes, and had other plans in mind. He stared at Su Nan motionlessly. As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. If he could catch Su Nan...
Master Kong felt that Su Nan's proposal was not impossible, and he was already thinking about how to apply for approval from the higher authorities. As long as it was beneficial to the photo studio, he would agree.
Su Nan looked up at the sky and the ground, wiping her tears with the back of her hand, wondering in her heart whether her performance just now had been revealed, and whether her nonsense just now had any contradictions.
