The actors in the rehearsal room were all attracted by Meng Zhen at the entrance.
They all swept over.
Zhou Xinyue waved to the tallest person in the crowd: "Cousin!"
"I thought you weren't coming!"
Zhang Qi walked over and his eyes fell on the female comrade next to his cousin. Amazement immediately welled up in his eyes, "This is Comrade Meng Zhen, right?"
She is so beautiful!
The clothes are also very nice.
She had seen the white shirt, pleated skirt, and black stockings individually, but she had never thought they could be paired like this. And the effect was so stunning!
There was also a pair of shiny high heels on the other person's feet. They were made of patent leather and had a string of pearls on the buckles. They were obviously imported.
She is just as my cousin described her, a true fairy.
With this look, if she were in their art troupe, I'm afraid anyone looking for a partner would have to break down the door of the dormitory.
Zhou Xinyue looked at her cousin and knew that she was stunned.
When I first met Meng Zhen, he also looked naive.
She quickly tugged at her cousin's sleeve and looked at Meng Zhen: "This is my cousin, Zhang Qi."
Meng Zhen curled his lips and smiled politely at the other party.
Zhang Qi immediately took her hand affectionately and said, "Don't be so formal. Just follow Yueyue and call me Sister Qi. By the way, how old are you?"
"I'm turning twenty this year."
Zhang Qi wanted to pull Meng Zhen aside to exchange a few words, but his teammates had already rushed over.
There was the same sense of amazement in Zhang Qi's eyes.
Meng Zhen suddenly felt like Tang Monk entering the Kingdom of Women.
Lesbians with exaggerated makeup surrounded her:
"Hey, who is this lesbian?"
"Is he a new recruit specially recruited by the group?"
"Comrade, how old are you? Are you taking the singing or dancing exam?"
"Where did you buy this dress? It's so beautiful!"
…
Zhang Qi pushed the crowd aside and interrupted, "Enough, don't scare anyone away. This is Comrade Meng Zhen, whom I specially invited to do everyone's makeup and hair."
Everyone immediately understood.
It turned out that this was the Comrade Meng that Zhang Qi’s cousin praised so highly.
The set of photos of Meng Zhen helping Zhou Xinyue put on makeup and take photos were developed, and they all admired them together.
As a result, everyone was attracted by it and wanted to put on beautiful makeup and take the same photos.
At that time, a team member suggested that this comrade could be invited to help everyone with makeup for the art performance, and he would definitely stand out.
For this performance audition, the three programs prepared by the art troupe are actually very similar, even the costumes are of the same color.
If you want to catch people's attention, you have to work on other aspects.
However, Zhang Qi has not given any definite answer, so everyone has given up hope.
I didn't expect that someone would be invited here today.
Of course, everyone knew the price Meng Zhen charged for makeup in advance and said they were acceptable.
Now Meng Zhen is standing in front of them. There is no need to say anything. Just looking at his dress and appearance, he is already very convincing.
The noise in the rehearsal room also reached the ears of the lesbian next door.
They are also one of the groups participating in the selection this time.
Everyone stopped rehearsing and followed the team leader Victoria Song over.
Victoria Song glanced at Meng Zhen, who was surrounded, and then looked at Zhang Qi: "Team Leader Zhang, we're just discussing the program. There's no need to make it so grand and even hire someone to do makeup."
Zhang Qi laughed and counterattacked: "Didn't Team Leader Song also find the retired Teacher Song to choreograph? It's also very grand, isn't it?"
"That's different. She's my cousin. I'm just doing a favor for my family."
Victoria Song raised her eyebrows. Teacher Song was her cousin. She used to be the chief dancer of the troupe and worked as a clerk in the art troupe after retiring.
It is natural for sisters to help each other.
Zhang Qi sneered.
How shameless! When she asks for help from outside, it's like family help, but when she asks for help from outside herself, it's like it's too grand.
The two joined the art troupe at about the same time, came from similar backgrounds, and both had outstanding talents. They had always been popular candidates for the troupe's next principal dancer.
However, Zhang Qi is married, while Song Qian is not.
Zhang Qi's in-laws have always wanted her to retire and take up a civilian job so that she can go home and have children as soon as possible.
So in this regard, Victoria Song has the advantage and can do what she likes without any pressure.
Zhang Qi must secure a spot in this national performance to prove that she has a future in the dance field.
There was a flash of swords and a tense atmosphere in the conversation between the two men, and neither team dared to say a word.
After a moment, the team member behind Victoria Song suggested, "Why don't we find a professional makeup artist?"
Song Qian came here at this time with this idea in mind.
His gaze immediately fell on Meng Zhen, and he raised his chin: "Hey, hurry up, and come to the rehearsal room next door as soon as you finish painting. We are still waiting!"
He acted in a very domineering manner.
She asked her cousin to choreograph for free, and she also thought that the makeup artist Zhang Qi hired would also be free.
It's just makeup, some pearl powder and blush, it's effortless.
Since it's free, it's not too much to help out, right?
The members of Zhang Qi's group were so angry that they almost laughed.
Miss Song's habit of ordering people around hasn't changed at all. She usually likes to enslave newcomers in the group.
Now they are even ordering around Comrade Meng, whom they invited.
Isn't it because her aunt married the guy from the capital?
What are you showing off for!
Meng Zhen didn't care about her attitude. It was all about making money.
However, just because Zhang Qi and the others accepted her price didn't mean the lesbian would agree. She gave Victoria Song an official smile:
"Comrade, I can do the makeup, but you have to pay a deposit first. It's 15 yuan per person. How many people are in your group? Just pay the deposit for half the number of people first."
What?
Victoria Song glared: "How much?"
Zhang Qi curled the corners of his lips, not smiling, "Team Leader Song, don't you think 15 yuan is too much?"
What a joke! It's only 15 yuan, how could she not afford it?
Song Qian was about to retort when the team member who had just suggested putting on makeup tugged at her arm and whispered, "There are 10 people in our team..."
What this means is that Victoria Song can afford and is willing to spend 15 yuan on makeup, but other team members may not be willing to do so.
At least, she herself doesn't want to.
In their perception, makeup is just about applying white or red, and it doesn’t require any technical skills at all.
Only Zhang Qi and her group wanted to win so badly that they were willing to waste 15 yuan.
Zhang Qi saw the other party's hesitant expression and knew that their group definitely didn't want to pay, so she urged:
"Comrade Song, do you need makeup service? If not, please don't bother us."
After saying this, he raised his chin towards the door, and it was obvious that he wanted to drive the customer away.
"Team leader, let's go back and get ready. We're the first group to perform this afternoon."
Her companion's words stopped Song Qian in time.
She glanced at everyone and snorted coldly, "I'm just waiting to see if you, the suckers who spent money on makeup, can draw a flower!"
His companions nodded vigorously, their gazes fixed on Zhang Qi and the others with a shared hatred for the enemy. "Yes, the competition relies on strength. Even if you can draw flowers, it's useless!"
