…
the next day,
Xiaomei and Xu Mengyao returned to the dormitory with lots of bags.
Zhang Shufen quickly stepped forward to lend a hand.
"Hey, what good stuff did you buy?"
"Your bed curtains are ready, come and install them." Xu Mengyao said with a smile.
Zhou Zhou immediately climbed down from the upper bunk, his face filled with excitement.
"Done so quickly? You've worked hard, Xiaoqi. Come sit down and take a rest."
Baozhu was sitting on the edge of the bed reading a fashion magazine. When she heard the noise, she stood up to help and put the magazine on the table.
When she was working with Li Yan to tie the bed curtains, an advertisement for men's luxury watches in a magazine caught Xu Mengyao's attention.
"Baozhu, can you lend me this magazine?"
"Feel free to look around. I have a lot more here." Baozhu replied without turning her head and continued to work.
That night, Xu Mengyao returned home with the magazine.
As soon as she entered the room and saw Huang Shao, she couldn't wait to say:
"Uncle, I saw an ad for this season's famous watches in a magazine today. I think these men's watches are very good. I want to choose one as a gift for Chen Chen. What do you think?"
Huang Shao put down the documents in his hand and looked at his niece with interest: "Did you come back just for this?"
"Hehe, I just happened to think of it. Fourth uncle, you are so busy, I dare not trouble you often." Xu Mengyao said coquettishly, with a hint of playfulness in her tone.
"Which one did you pick? Let me see if I can buy it in Haishi." Huang Shao asked.
Xu Mengyao quickly took out the magazine from her bag, pointed at the two watches in the picture and said:
"These are the two models. Can you give me some advice? Which one looks better, the Jaeger-LeCoultre or the Omega?"
Huang Shao took the magazine and looked at the two watches his niece pointed out. Both watches looked good and were suitable for young people, but in terms of brand, Jaeger-LeCoultre was definitely better.
He was about to point to the Jaeger-LeCoultre watch, but when he saw the watch on his niece's hand, he immediately turned in the other direction.
"Choose this one, it's classic and elegant."
Chen Chen clearly had his eyes on his niece. The two watches were too similar, so Huang Shao was unwilling to help him.
"Patek Philippe?" Xu Mengyao asked in surprise.
"Well, the price is about the same as that Audi. It can also be used as a collectible. He can wear it from now until he is my age." Huang Shao said affirmatively.
"Okay, I'll listen to Fourth Uncle." Xu Mengyao nodded with satisfaction.
...
Chen Chen's birthday happened to be on the weekend.
Huang Shao prepared outfits for them to attend the dinner a few days in advance.
In the morning, before Huang Shao left, he specifically reminded:
"I'll arrange for someone to come and do your makeup later. When the time is almost up, have the driver take you there first. Don't be nervous. I will also go to Chen's house on behalf of the company today. See you then."
When they heard that Huang Shao would also be going, the two girls' nervous hearts finally calmed down a little.
Xu Mengyao had never attended a high-society dinner in her previous life, so she didn't know what the procedures were and could only improvise at night.
In the afternoon, two stylists came to the door carrying a large box.
After Xu Mengyao and Xiaomei changed their clothes, they sat on stools and had their makeup done.
"Sister, we want light makeup, not too heavy. Thank you."
As soon as Xu Mengyao sat down, she expressed her request, with a hint of uneasiness in her voice.
Fortunately, these two makeup artists were not as stubborn as the one in the photo studio. They just smiled and nodded and started working.
"Ms. Huang, the makeup is done. Do you think there is anything that needs to be adjusted?" asked Xu Mengyao's makeup artist.
Xu Mengyao first looked across, and Xiaomei was currently closing her eyes to accept the final adjustments.
She wore a black high-necked leotard with a black patent leather vest on the outside, a black and white plaid skirt with an irregular hem, and black high-heeled leather boots on her feet.
With her fair skin and nude brown lips, smoky eye makeup and thick upturned eyelashes, the first impression she gives is one of coolness and a bit of coolness.
"Xiaomei, you are so beautiful." Xu Mengyao exclaimed, her eyes full of admiration.
Xiaomei opened her eyes and was also very surprised: "It's obviously because you are so beautiful!"
Only then did Xu Mengyao turn around and look at herself in the mirror.
The first feeling is clarity. She is wearing a white off-shoulder lace long dress, and her whole makeup is just right.
Her eyebrows were deepened and lengthened with a brown eyebrow pencil, and she wore earth-toned eyeshadow and black-brown eyeliner. Although her eyelashes were not as thick as Xiaomei's, they were also very curled.
The cinnamon pink blush makes her look particularly healthy, her nose is carefully trimmed, and her lipstick is also flesh pink.
The makeup and clothes matched very harmoniously, which made Xu Mengyao very satisfied.
"Sister, your makeup skills are really good." Xu Mengyao praised sincerely.
"Yes, Miss, you are already beautiful. We are just adding the icing on the cake. Let's add a little lip gloss and then we can start doing your hair."
The makeup artist responded with a smile and skillfully applied a layer of lip gloss on Xu Mengyao's lips.
It makes the lips covered with lip gloss appear fuller, and the crystal luster instantly becomes the most eye-catching part of the entire makeup.
"Okay, Miss Huang, your makeup is done."
She then tied Xu Mengyao's hair behind her head, revealing her smooth forehead, and put pearl earrings and a pearl necklace on her. Finally, she gently draped a white fur shawl over her shoulders.
"Originally I only chose a skirt, but Mr. Huang said he was worried you'd be cold and wanted to add a shawl. Now it seems Mr. Huang has better taste."
The makeup artist stepped back with satisfaction, carefully examining her work.
Xiaomei also finished her matching at this time. Her hair was hung down and tied with a black and white plaid hairband of the same style as her skirt. She wore a black beret on her head, and the silver earrings echoed the silver necklace on her clothes.
The two girls saw the same excitement and satisfaction in each other's eyes.
Xu Mengyao deliberately put on the bracelet that Chen Chen had given her before, and then set off with Xiaomei carrying the gift.
The car slowly stopped in front of Chen's house. Xu Mengyao and Xiaomei got out of the car and were led by driver Chen Chen, who was waiting at the door, to find him.
Today, the Chen family's entrance is filled with flowers and bonsai. Under the large parasols set up in the garden, there are several tables of rich ladies playing mahjong, and there is a dessert table and a nanny serving them nearby.
Further in, there were groups of young girls chatting by the fountain.
"It's so beautiful and lively here." Xiaomei said softly, her eyes full of curiosity.
"Yes, it seems that Chen Chen's family attaches great importance to his birthday." Xu Mengyao responded with a smile, but she felt a little nervous in her heart.
The driver took them through the crowd and into the banquet hall. The surrounding lights were soft and warm, and the guests were chatting in twos and threes.
Chen Chen, standing in the middle of the hall, was wearing a neat suit and was mingling with a group of elders.
