The next day, Meng Zhen went to the photo studio first.
The store had just opened in the morning, there were no customers, and the owner, He Zhigao, was nowhere to be seen.
Meng Zhen shouted towards the darkroom, "Boss He!"
He Zhigao was actually developing photos in the darkroom at the back.
When he heard someone calling his name, he put down the potion in his hand and went out to see: "Oh! Comrade Xiao Meng! I finally got you!"
When He Zhigao saw Meng Zhen, his eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth almost stretched to his ears.
The God of Wealth is knocking on the door!
Ever since the photo studio launched a themed artistic photo package and hung a few sample photos in the window, the lesbians' enthusiasm for taking photos has been unprecedentedly high.
Especially after word of mouth from the female comrades in the art troupe, the shooting reservation orders were scheduled for two months later.
Although the client had made an appointment, he couldn't start filming because the makeup artist wasn't there.
Meng Zhen also came here today to solve this problem.
She now has a place to stay in the city and can stay for a while.
Work non-stop for a few days to complete some of the orders, and then take the time to train specialized makeup artists.
Last time, she asked Zhou Xinyue to help her find a lesbian who wanted to be a makeup artist.
The two of them agreed to meet at the photo studio in the afternoon. Let's see what happens then.
Meng Zhen said to Boss He, "I've been in the city for the past week, so I can take pictures of some of the customers first."
"Okay, I'll go notify the customers who have made photoshoot reservations in the last week."
Of course Boss He agreed, and he immediately turned around and called the customer.
Taking advantage of the free time, Meng Zhen took out a SLR camera from his suitcase, and when Boss He came back, it was already placed on the counter.
"Lao He, this camera is my token of sincerity in investing."
Boss He was a connoisseur of goods. Looking at the black, metallic-looking machine, his tongue began to twitch. "T- ...
He had only seen it in foreign photography magazines that he had asked someone to bring back.
The most technologically advanced camera in the world today.
"Hmm," Meng Zhen blinked, "It's yours now."
"Oh my God! Oh my God!" Boss He hugged the camera and kissed it again and again, as excited as a three-year-old child who had just tasted candy.
This investment shows great sincerity!
I wonder if it would be worth that much money if I sold it?
Meng Zhen checked the time and saw that the first wave of customers were almost arriving. "Old He, calm down. I'll show you some tips first, and then we'll practice on some customers."
There are all kinds of cameras, SLRs and other equipment in her space villa, enough for ten celebrity fans to use.
And she hasn't told Lao He yet that this type of SLR can be directly connected to a printer, so there is no need to go to a darkroom to develop photos.
But you'd better take it easy now, don't scare people to death.
Meng Zhen demonstrated to Boss He step by step how to use each function key of the camera.
He Zhigao is a typical photography enthusiast, and he was able to use the various functions of the SLR with ease in a short time.
He practiced excitedly everywhere with his camera.
As I was filming, I exclaimed, "It's amazing! I can see the image on the screen right after I take it. It's much more convenient than a film camera!"
The two discussed SLR techniques for a while, and Zhou Xinyue arrived before the customer.
"Meng Zhen!"
With a cheerful tone, a light figure ran up and hugged Meng Zhen's slender waist.
Zhou Xinyue looked at the person in front of her whom she hadn't seen for more than half a month, her eyes sparkling: "Great, I can see you again! How come you've become more beautiful!"
Meng Zhen, who prides herself on being sweet-talker, met someone for the first time who was more eloquent than her.
She pinched Zhou Xinyue's nose: "You are so good at talking! But you have become very beautiful recently, and your makeup looks good today!"
Zhou Xinyue dressed up carefully today and used the cosmetics she bought from Meng Zhen.
She shared her experience of putting on makeup every day recently: "Hey, I found that putting on makeup seems to be quite simple. I am much more proficient in it now."
Meng Zhen agreed very much. Putting on makeup is something that requires practice.
Thinking of the afternoon shoot, she reminded him, "By the way, have you found anyone who wants to learn makeup?"
Speaking of this, Zhou Xinyue patted her chest and said confidently: "Look...how am I?"
"you?"
Meng Zhen opened her eyes slightly, a little surprised.
Wasn't Zhou Xinyue a student at Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers University? She was assigned a job after graduation. If she'd become a makeup artist, that would have been a completely different path.
Zhou Xinyue was very determined: "Yes! I plan to learn makeup. I want to be that makeup artist you mentioned! I have already persuaded my parents to let me take a year off from school to try my idea first. If it doesn't work out, I will obey their arrangements."
Zhou's father and mother are both employees of the system, and their unit is a place that ordinary people cannot enter.
Of course, they also want their daughters to develop within the system.
It was originally planned that when Zhou Xinyue graduated from the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University and was assigned a job, someone would do something to get her assigned to a job that was leisurely but well-paid.
For girls, the ultimate focus must be on the family. A stable income is enough. There is no need to fight for a way out in a job that is full of intrigue.
But Zhou Xinyue didn't want to follow the direction planned by her parents at all.
Ever since she met Meng Zhen, she realized that girls can also combine their interests and careers.
Especially when Meng Zhen was putting on makeup for them, taking photos, and talking about outfits, she seemed to be glowing.
That state deeply attracted Zhou Xinyue.
She loves beauty and her favorite thing is to dress up. Now that she has the opportunity to make beauty a career, of course she wants to give it a try.
Since Zhou Xinyue's parents have already agreed, Meng Zhen naturally will not object.
"Just make up your mind. We may be friends, but doing business is another matter. The first month is a training period, with no salary, but you will be given a set of professional makeup products.
There will be an assessment after one month. If you pass, you can officially join us and receive a basic salary + commission every month."
Zhou Xinyue agreed readily: "No problem, I can start learning makeup right now!"
Meng Zhen shook his head, and it was obvious that this was a person who had not experienced the hardships of society.
Fortunately, she is not an unscrupulous capitalist, otherwise she would be exploited by such a newbie.
While the two were discussing, the first customer who had made an appointment arrived.
Boss He went up to the customer, checked the information with her, and then took her to the dressing room.
Because Meng Zhen and Boss He had already developed a detailed business plan, the layout of the photo studio now has a new look.
There is a reception area at the entrance, which is equivalent to the front desk of the photo studio. The room behind it has become a dressing room and shooting room, and there is also a small darkroom for developing photos.
Meng Zhen dragged a black suitcase and took Zhou Xinyue to the dressing room.
The customer was an eighteen-year-old girl.
