Chapter 131: Three Flowers of the Art Troupe



"Master Kong." Su Nan and Jiang Hongqin stopped what they were doing and greeted him.

Master Kong said nothing, nodded slightly, and walked straight towards the counter. He looked very depressed.

"What's wrong with Master Kong?" Su Nan glanced at Master Kong, touched his head curiously, and looked at Jiang Hongqin.

Jiang Hongqin looked worried, cleared her throat, and lowered her voice, "It's all because of Xiaoxia. Ever since he got into trouble, Master Kong has been so unhappy. He was never talkative to begin with, and now he talks even less."

"Actually, I can quite understand it. After all, Xiao Xia is Master Kong's only disciple. If he just quits, no one will inherit his legacy. No one would feel comfortable about that. Besides, we've been together for so many years, so we still have feelings for each other."

After listening to this, Su Nan couldn't help but nodded, but she didn't feel sorry for Xia Congjie at all. It was all his own fault.

But Master Kong is in his old age, without any children, and it is still quite sad if he does not have an heir.

Su Nan tilted his head, and an idea suddenly occurred to him: "Xia Congjie has resigned, so our photo studio will have to recruit someone again. This time, why not choose a young and down-to-earth person to learn from Master Kong?"

"It's not that easy. To learn photography from Master Kong, you need to know at least English. The labels on those cameras and photo paper are all in English. If you don't know the words, forget about learning the technique."

Jiang Hongqin pouted. She wanted to learn too, but she couldn't pass the introductory English test.

Forget about English. She didn't even finish elementary school and didn't know much Chinese. If it weren't for her family's connections, she wouldn't have been able to get a job in a photo studio.

"English?" Su Nan touched his chin and frowned in distress.

Most schools and institutions now teach Russian, and English has not yet been fully popularized. Many people know a few Russian words, but know nothing about English. Therefore, it is not easy to find someone who can speak English and is willing to study photography technology.

Su Nan was fluent in English, but she didn't want to learn any techniques for taking pictures with old-fashioned cameras. Firstly, it was boring, and secondly, the camera equipment was very cheap. She didn't want to do physical work.

She should just make money by doing makeup for others.

"Yes, let's not talk about it for now. Someone is here to take pictures." Jiang Hongqin had sharp eyes and immediately saw the three little girls standing at the door.

"Okay." After hearing what Jiang Hongqin said, Su Nan also saw the person standing at the door, so he quickly quickened the pace of packing things, and soon he had tidied up the dressing table.

After tidying up the dressing table, Su Nan turned around and looked at the three young girls who had just walked in. They were all young, probably around the same age as her, around eighteen years old.

They all wore army green uniforms, had two pigtails, delicate eyebrows, slightly dark skin, straight backs, full of energy, and exuded a unique temperament in their every move.

Su Nan could tell at a glance that they were from the army. In addition to their attire, it was also because they had been together for a long time. She observed that Zhou Rang's usual walk would reveal some military influence.

I guess even they themselves don't know this detail.

"Hello comrades, let's take a group photo and three individual photos." One of the tall girls subconsciously saluted and spoke in a strong voice.

"Hey, Gao Man, why are you still so serious when you go home?" One of the shortest girls with a round face covered her lips and couldn't help laughing.

Gao Man blushed in embarrassment, retracted her right hand that was still saluting, coughed lightly, and said a little embarrassedly: "I just came back, isn't it true that I haven't adapted yet?"

Jiang Tingchun looked around the photo studio. When he saw the dressing table with a mirror, his eyes lit up. He couldn't help but pat Chen Youshan's arm and said in surprise, "Don't tease her. Look, there's even a place to put on makeup here."

"Wow, these look really good. I thought only our art troupe had special makeup supplies, but I didn't expect we have them here too." Chen Youshan took two steps to the dressing table and looked at all the items curiously, but did not touch them to look at them.

"How much does it cost to take photos and do makeup here?" Gao Man was also surprised when she walked beside Chen Youshan. She couldn't help but look up and ask Su Nan who happened to be standing next to the dressing table.

"The prices for photos are listed at the counter. The prices vary depending on the type of photo. If you want to put on makeup, there will be an extra charge of two dollars." Su Nan smiled friendly and answered patiently.

Hearing this, the three girls turned their eyes to Su Nan. After seeing his face clearly, their eyes lit up. This photo studio is really full of hidden talents. Even the clerks are so good-looking.

She is no less beautiful than the beauty in their art troupe.

After hearing this, Gao Man hesitated for a moment, then tugged at Chen Youshan's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Shall we put on makeup? It's a bit expensive."

When Gao Man asked Chen Youshan, she was staring at an eyeshadow palette, attracted by the packaging and the beautiful colors. It was not until she asked again that she came back to her senses.

"I'll do it." Chen Youshan hesitated for only a second and then nodded.

"Then I'll do it too." Jiang Tingchun echoed with a smile on his face.

They had been in the art troupe for three years and had never seen such beautiful and unique cosmetics. They wanted to experience it. Besides, they received a fixed salary and subsidies every month and had plenty of money. Spending two dollars on makeup was no big deal.

"If you all put on makeup, then I'll do it too." Gao Man took Chen Youshan's hand and quickly followed suit.

Hearing their conversation, Su Nan's lips almost turned up to the back of his head. He was extremely happy. This was all money. Who wouldn't be happy about making money?

"Then who will do the makeup first? Because I am the only makeup artist in our photo studio, so you have to come one by one, but I am very fast at makeup, so I won't make you wait too long." Su Nan raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"I'll go first." Chen Youshan raised her hand, then sat on the chair in front of the dressing table. She closed her eyes as usual with an excited look on her face, waiting for Su Nan to apply makeup on her face.

In the past, all art troupes were like this.

When Su Nan saw Chen Youshan's actions, she couldn't help but smile. This little girl was quite cute and she liked her.

"Then, Youshan, let's sit here and wait for you." Gao Man pointed to the sofa not far away and said to Chen Youshan.

"Okay." Chen Youshan nodded.

Jiang Hongqin poured a cup of hot water for each of them and placed it next to them so that they could drink it when they were thirsty.

"Are you guys going to shoot in your military uniforms without changing your clothes? We don't charge extra for clothes here."

While Su Nan was helping Chen Youshan put on foundation, she was also thinking of a makeup look that would suit her. It is better to ask about their clothes before putting on makeup so that you can "prescribe the right medicine".

"We're not changing. We're here to take headshots because our art troupe will be selecting actors to perform for a senior leader soon, so the troupe leader asked us to take headshots so that the higher-ups can choose."

Although she was young, when Chen Youshan mentioned this matter, there was a hint of pride and boasting in her tone.
