C24 The Big Tiger and the Little White Rabbit

"What?!" Director Lee gasped.

The next second, he quickly covered his mouth so that Cheng Xiao would not feel anything wrong.

Director Meng, you're going to make me lose my job!

Cheng Xiao rejected so many famous stylists like they were dog shit, then this simple girl with black-rimmed glasses was probably in an even worse situation.

Director Lee shook his head and sighed. He really felt like crying.

With Cheng Xiao personally taking charge, everyone began to work at the highest speed. Other than the necessary communication related to work, no one dared to say a word.

Wen Shishi looked at the makeup table and kits first. They were pretty well prepared. The model girls all stood in line in front of the mirror, waiting for her to arrange them one by one.

She felt her back as though it was on fire. She knew it was Cheng Xiao's gaze, who wanted nothing more than to tear her to shreds.

The moment she was a little bit out of line with the requirements, this person would probably take her by the scruff of her neck and throw her out.

She rubbed her hands and took a deep breath to calm down.

Simple and elegant...

These models were all good-looking and had a good complexion, so it was easy to apply makeup on them.

Wen Shishi has learned a lot in the past few days. She also had some experience since working in the past, plus she had practiced many times on her own face. Therefore, she was familiar with light makeup.

With an ivory foundation in bright light, the girls' skin will look purer, and eye makeup should be as simple and fresh as possible. She didn't use false eyelashes. Instead, she used a mascara brush to adjust the concentration and length of the girls' eyelashes. Last, she chose a light color for the lips makeup. When it was time to do their hair, she thought for a moment with her head bowed. She took into account the different hairstyle and length of each girl's hair, then she wrapped a bun that resembled the ancient style and fixed it with a simple silver hairpin.

Cascading black hair, snow-white skin, bright, clear eyes, and cherry-like lips, but not bright red.

All done.

Wen Shishi looked at the clock on the wall. It was exactly ten o'clock.

She suddenly realized that it had been almost an hour since she had started putting makeup on girls. Cheng Xiao should have seen them.

He didn't say a word?

Manager Li has been by Cheng Xiao's side, carefully watching his expressions from time to time: "President Cheng, take a look, is this kind of makeup good enough?"

Wen Shishixin was expectant.

Cheng Xiao was silent for a long time, and the air behind the scenes seemed to be frozen.

"Heh," Cheng Xiao chuckled. "I didn't expect you to have some skills."

Eh?

Wen Shishi raised her head abruptly. Cheng Xiao was satisfied?

Director Lee let out a long sigh, "That's good then. We are in time for the opening ceremony. Girls, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get ready to go out!"

The girls lined up under his guidance, each heading to the side of their respective cars to make their final preparations.

Wen Shishi felt sincere admiration seeing them all walking as fast as if they were flying. They could last a whole day on 18 cm heels.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Xiao walked in front of her and took off her black-framed glasses: "Are you short-sighted?"

Wen Shishi was stunned. "Yes, a little."

"Since you can make others look so good, why don't you do it for yourself?" He looked at her with disdain: "Look at what you're wearing. Old clothes for the middle-aged at the stalls? Not more than fifty dollars?"

Wen Shishi took back her eyeglasses and put them on. "There's no need. I'm a makeup artist, not a model."

"So you would rather wear old clothes?"

"It's more comfortable that way. Models wear tight skirts and high heels and have to walk carefully. They worry about whether they'll be exposed, but since it's their job, they have to earn money to support themselves. It's too tiring."

Director Lee poked his head in. "President Cheng, there's still five minutes until the opening ceremony. Why don't you go take a look?"

"Okay."

Cheng Xiao gave her a deep look and left.

Wen Shishi breathed a sigh of relief and began arranging various brushes and makeup cotton pads.

Director Lee approached her and gave her a thumb-up: "You really did it! You were able to satisfy a picky monster like President Cheng. Awesome!"

"Hey!"

Cheng Xiao's voice suddenly came from the door.

Director Lee was so scared that he almost pissed his pants, "President Cheng, you're still here, hehehehe..."

Cheng Xiao ignored him and yelled at Wen Shishi, "Auntie, I'm talking to you!"

Wen Shishi looked up at him in surprise.

Cheng Xiao smiled mischievously, "There are seven more shows after this. I will double the current payment for each show. Do you want to come?"

Wen Shishi's eyes widened.

The payment was 10,000 yuan, and after doubling it, it would be 20,000 yuan! Seven shows meant one hundred and forty thousand yuan!

Although Cheng Xiao had a bad temper, he was still very generous in spending his money!

"Alright!" Wen Shishi nodded like a chick pecking rice. "I'm in!"

Cheng Xiao chuckled. "Then don't just stay there. Take your makeup kit and come with me. Models may have to come off the stage at any time to tidy up their makeup."

"Oh, yes, of course. Coming!"

Wen Shishi directly swept all the makeup tools from the dressing table into the makeup case and followed him out.

One of the staff members nudged Director Lee and smiled meaningfully: "Have you ever seen President Cheng so amiable to anyone?"

Director Lee gasped, "Today, the sun must have risen from the west, right? This Wen Shishi is quite lucky."

"It's not luck," the staff member said in a low voice. "It's a matching between a man and a woman, so it's not luck at all. It's the arrival of spring! I never thought that the little white rabbit would subdue the big tiger.

Wen Shishi found out that the 10,000 yuan was not that easy to get.

The rest of the day, she was so busy that she never sat down once, and her fingers were spasming from exhaustion. When the exhibition finally ended, it was already nightfall.

Checking her phone, she saw that there were already five missed calls.

She called back.

His magnetic voice sounded sweet and caring: "Are you done? I'm waiting for you at the showroom door."

Hearing the familiar voice, Wen Shishi felt her heart at peace. "Have you been waiting for me for a long time?"

"Not so long, I just arrived."

"Oh, then I'm packing up, and I'll be there soon."

Mr. Sniper gave his car model and license plate number. Wen Shishi wrote it down carefully and hung up.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind her: "Your boyfriend?"

Wen Shishi was startled, "President Cheng."

Cheng Xiao put his hands in the pockets of his pants: "A woman like you actually has a boyfriend. Of course, because the ratio between men and women is too high, he can't afford to be picky."

Wen Shishi was on her way to find Mr. Sniper, so she didn't bother with him. "President Cheng, if there's nothing else, I'm going home now. I will be there on time for the next car show."

"Hey, wait!"

Wen Shishi was about to flee when she was pulled back by her wrist.

Cheng Xiao took off her black-rimmed glasses and lifted her chin with his rough fingers.

A small, delicate face appeared, surrounded by her black hair.

"President Cheng, you …"

Cheng Xiao's eyes lit up: "I haven't seen you clearly yet, you seem to look pretty good when you take off your glasses."
