On Saturday afternoon, Wen Xiaohui was packing up his things and getting ready to leave work when Raven walked over suddenly and said abruptly, "Wait for me downstairs at your house at four o'clock."
Wen Xiaohui was taken aback: "Ah, what's wrong?"
Raven's eyes widened: "You've lost your memory, right? I'm going to take you to Li Hua's house for styling first, and then go to Shangri-La with her."
Wen Xiaohui said in surprise: "Today, today? Didn't you say two days?"
"Isn't it two days today?"
"I thought..." Wen Xiaohui was a little caught off guard, he thought it would be several days, at least Raven would tell him in advance, how could anyone notify him two hours in advance
"Go back first, don't be late."
"But... I already promised Miss Sydney today..." He had already made an appointment with Sydney to do her makeup today, and Sydney had an important interview, so there was no delay.
Raven said nonchalantly: "This is your own problem, so you don't want to go?"
"No, of course I want to go, but I made an appointment with her in advance." Wen Xiaohui's voice became smaller and smaller.
Raven sneered: "Then you go to the appointment, will I force you to come with me?"
Wen Xiaohui felt uncomfortable for a while, he struggled hard in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Raven, I, I'd better go with you."
Raven patted his face: "What a kid."
Wen Xiaohui picked up his things and walked out of the studio, frowning all the way, his palms sweating from holding the phone.
He is rushing to do styling for Sydney now, and it is impossible to get home before four o'clock. If he misses the appointment, who will Sydney go to at this juncture? But the opportunity Raven gave him was something he didn't want to miss anyway, so he was caught in a dilemma for a while.
After struggling for a long time, he anxiously called Sydney.
"Hey, Adrian, where have you been?"
"Sister Sydney, I'm sorry, I have something to do temporarily, so I can't go today."
"Ah? What's the matter with you, is something wrong?"
"I..." Wen Xiaohui hesitated for a long time. He originally wanted to lie, but he swallowed the lie when it reached his lips. Xueli has always been very kind to him. Does he really want to use lies to perfuse her? He took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Our boss wants to take me to a charity dinner, this is a very important opportunity for me, so..."
There was silence on the other end of the phone, and after a long time, Sydney said: "Xiaohui, I made an appointment with you first, and the time is so tight, where do you want me to find someone now?"
Xue Li's tone was very low, although he didn't obviously criticize him, it still made Wen Xiaohui's face burn. He felt unspeakably guilty, so he could only apologize hastily: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Miss Sydney, I asked my friend to help you Okay, next time I'll do it for you for free, I'll be on call, I... "
The other end has hung up the phone.
Holding the mobile phone, Wen Xiaohui looked at the crowds of people passing by, and suddenly felt overwhelmed, his whole body was about to be overwhelmed by guilt and shame. Obviously it didn't seem to be a particularly serious matter, but he just felt that something in his heart was smashed. Before this, he had never been a person who did not keep his word. There seemed to be a voice in his heart asking him silently, do you really want to do this? is this correct
He stood at the intersection for a long time, and he didn't have the courage to call Sydney again. He thought, let's do it, and find an opportunity to apologize later. The opportunity he has been looking forward to for so long is right in front of him, and he can't miss it no matter what.
After rushing home, his mother hadn't come back yet. He took a quick shower, started to do hair, make-up, shine shoes, and iron clothes. The young man was quite satisfied.
At four o'clock, Raven's driver parked the car at the gate of his community on time. Wen Xiaohui looked at the dark red Cayenne, silently envious, and imagined that one day he would be better than Raven.
After getting into the car, Raven looked Wen Xiaohui up and down, and smiled with satisfaction: "Armani's new style is very suitable for you." He squeezed Wen Xiaohui's chin with his hand, and shook his face from side to side, "Taught Your oval-shaped contouring, the forehead and sideburns are not connected well at all, and the contouring powder here is not evenly swept, change to a better brush, flat-angled."
"yes."
"Highlights are not good either. If you can't grasp the weight well, you can mix it with foundation and apply it first. Don't use it so hard, it will make your face oily."
"yes."
"Also, try a few more eyebrow shapes at ordinary times, I think there should be one that suits you better."
"yes."
Raven smiled: "Don't be so nervous, relax."
Wen Xiaohui was still a little embarrassed.
Raven turned his head and looked out of the window, no longer speaking, the car was silent.
Wen Xiaohui usually talked a lot, but he didn't dare to talk too much in front of Raven. In fact, Raven is not scary at all. He is not tall, thin, and handsome, but he has a fierce and mean aura. He is a well-known ruthless character in the circle. Wen Xiaohui has just entered the world and has always set Raven as his goal. .
Raven suddenly asked: "Adi, how old are you?"
"19."
"It's so young. When I first started working, I was the same age as you. I was so stupid at that time, I didn't understand anything, and I suffered a lot." Raven laughed, "You really look like me back then."
Wen Xiaohui thought to himself, the implication is that I am stupid? He curled his lips, although he was not convinced, he could only laugh along with him on the surface, "I think I'm pretty stupid too, and I need Raven to remind me more."
"You are much better than I was before, you are talented, smart, and good-looking." Raven turned his head and smiled at him, "Adi, as long as you walk the right way, you will definitely become popular. "
Wen Xiaohui smiled and said, "I would like to borrow your good words."
"Who do you think is more talented, me, Liu Xing or Xiaoyan?"
"Of course it's you. You are the youngest and the latest to join the circle, but your reputation is not inferior to them at all."
Raven sighed: "Yeah, in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that I am now stronger than them all. Liu Xing is old and his thinking is very limited. There is no innovation in the past two years. Xiaoyan, I will start from scratch. I didn't like it until the end, if she didn't have a rich father, it would be no wonder that with her little ability, she got ahead."
Wen Xiaohui smelled something unusual. Except for teaching and supervising, Raven usually seldom talked to him. Recently, although he clearly showed a posture of trying to win him over, suddenly telling him so many things that shouldn't be said was more than just trying to win him over. , but directly forced him to become 'one of his own'. After hearing these words, he had no choice. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and nod, and followed suit.
"Have you heard? We are talking about an investment of 400 million yuan recently, and we will open studios and schools in 14 cities across the country. This is a great opportunity for Juxing, but Liuxing is worried. Smashing signs, unwilling to expand, and Xiaoyan dissatisfied with the share, pick and choose, if this business is left to them, sooner or later it will blow."
Wen Xiaohui's heart skipped a beat, so he could only keep nodding.
Raven sighed: "It seems that if Juxing wants to go far, it can only unload some burdens."
Wen Xiaohui said cautiously: "Raven, what do you mean..."
"Actually, I'm quite reluctant. Although Xiaoyan and I don't deal with each other, we have cooperated for many years, and we still have a little friendship. Liu Xing, who is my teacher, is kind to me. Alas, but I don't I will treat them badly." Raven looked at Wen Xiaohui with sparkling eyes, "If Juxing really wants to split up, I hope that those who stay by my side are the talents I like, Adi, your chance will come soon Yes, you have to hold on to it."
Wen Xiaohui is half-ignorant, he has the excitement of having glimpsed the secret, and he is a little nervous about bearing the secret. He doesn't have much contact with Liuxing and Xiaoyan. If Juxing splits up, he will definitely follow Raven. If Raven can get that investment, Juxing will definitely do better in Raven's hands. No matter how you think about it, this is a good thing for him.
The car drove into a private villa area and stopped in front of a luxurious villa.
The butler politely led them into the house.
As soon as he entered the room, Wen Xiaohui was overwhelmed by the luxury of the villa. He tried his best to control his facial expressions so that he didn't look like a 'Grandma Liu'.
Raven glanced at him, chuckled and said, "Are you envious?"
Wen Xiaohui nodded.
This circle has seen too many glamorous and extravagant scenery, who can not be intoxicated, who can not be envious, hang out with a bunch of rich people all day long, it is inevitable that you will imagine that you are one of them, only when you squeeze the subway back Only when you are in a small house of 80 square meters will you wake up. That kind of psychological gap will make people more and more eager for money and fame.
The housekeeper brought them to the dressing room. When the door opened, a beautiful woman in a black silk robe was sitting in front of the mirror. The beautician was using instruments to lift her skin.
Wen Xiaohui has seen her many times on big and small screens, but he did not expect that his skin, appearance, and temperament are much more dazzling than those on TV, and his beauty is radiant.
"Huahua." Raven called out sweetly.
"Hello, Sister Hua." Wen Xiaohui said.
Li Hua opened her eyes: "Raven is here, hey, who is this kid?"
"Akai is going abroad, my temporary assistant."
Li Hua smiled: "Let me just say, you don't like this type either."
"I don't like Akai's type either, okay? He has a clear distinction between public and private."
"Okay, just kidding, can you see the condition of my skin?"
Raven took the hot towel from the nanny and wiped his hands: "Let me see. Adi, arrange the makeup box."
Wen Xiaohui hurriedly arranged the work guys.
Raven gave Li Hua a facial massage on the spot, and then began to apply skin care products layer by layer. His two thin white hands were like two gentle feathers, and he didn't even need to feel it with his face, just looking at his face One can imagine what kind of enjoyment it was, Wen Xiaohui watched intently, and decided to go home and practice more with his mother.
After finishing the maintenance and starting to prepare for makeup, Raven gently tapped the primer with his fingers, while instructing Wen Xiaohui, "Adi, trim the false eyelashes. There are previous samples in the box. Cut out four spares and put the eyebrows together. The powder is adjusted to the color closest to birch birch's hair color... "
Wen Xiaohui hurried in and out, and secretly learned the art from the sidelines.
Raven does have the capital to be proud of. He is only 28 years old this year, and he is already a well-known stylist in the circle. This meal is not restricted by age, and the more he eats, the more delicious he is. Wen Xiaohui admires his talent and professionalism very much. Paying four-figure tuition fees and not seeing Raven's make-up at all, Wen Xiaohui doesn't want to miss it now.
After putting on makeup, Raven started to do Li Hua's hair. Wen Xiaohui and the nanny used their fingers to follow the feathers on the dress one by one.
After finishing her hair, Li Hua graciously took off her nightgown, stood up in her underwear, and with the help of several people, she put on the floor-length gown. After putting on her high heels, she was half a head taller than Wen Xiaohui. As beautiful as a queen, full of aura.
Raven clapped his hands and said, "Queen Huahua, you are so beautiful, I will kneel down for you."
Wen Xiaohui also praised: "Sister Hua, you are so beautiful, ten times more beautiful than on TV, you are really slapped in the face."
Li Hua smiled and said, "The camera will make people fat."
"Huahua, let's go now."
"Let's go, I checked all the actresses present today, except for the two models, none of them are taller than me. I'm so annoying. Every time there are models, they have to wear such high shoes."
"What's the use of being tall, and not as beautiful as you, dare to stand together and definitely kill them instantly."
"Sister Hua, don't worry, those who are taller than you are not as beautiful as you, and those who are prettier than you... Hey, I really don't know where there are people who are more beautiful than Sister Hua."
Li Hua chuckled, "Raven, why is your mouth so sweet?"
"My people are very honest." Raven gave Wen Xiaohui an appreciative look.
Several people carried Li Hua's skirt and sent her into the car, and they drove towards the hotel in a mighty manner.
In the car, Raven said to Wen Xiaohui in a warning tone: "When you arrive at the scene, don't move around or talk nonsense, just follow me all the time, so as not to embarrass me by doing something wrong."
"good."
"You can talk to whoever I ask you to talk to. I will introduce you to someone you need. When the time comes, be smart and take the initiative to leave a call or something. I don't need to teach you these things."
"I know."
"Well, you performed well today, and I will take you out often in the future."
"Thank you Raven."
The entrance of Shangri-La was already crowded with reporters and fans. Luxury cars were parked next to each other, and handsome men and women appeared together as if they didn’t want money. The fountain at the entrance of the hotel seemed to be gushing gold under the light.
Wen Xiaohui felt his heart pounding, seeing such a scene for the first time made him very excited.
As soon as Raven got out of the car, he put on a bright smile, and shook hands with someone head-on. From the door all the way to the banquet hall, the smile on his face didn't have time to take off.
Wen Xiaohui imitated his appearance, whether he recognized him or not, he always laughed and socialized, the initial stage fright was quickly overcome by him, and he even regretted not making his hairstyle more mature today, so as not to let the One can tell at a glance that he is young.
Raven dragged him to the edge of the banquet hall, and took a deep breath: "Damn, I'm exhausted."
Wen Xiaohui handed over a glass of soda water: "Raven, drink some water, I haven't been idle for a long time."
"That's right, they are all acquaintances."
Only then did Wen Xiaohui have the time to appreciate the people in the hall, there were so many handsome guys that his eyes were dazzled.
Raven glanced at him, and said with a smile: "The heart of spring has sprouted, huh?"
Wen Xiaohui chuckled: "There are so many handsome guys."
"What type do you like?"
"Taller, stronger."
"Heh, it's useless to be tall, strong, or big. Having money is the most important thing. If you have money, you still can't find a handsome guy to fuck you?"
"It depends on fate, who knows who you will meet."
Raven smiled sarcastically: "Yeah, who doesn't want to look for someone who is tall, handsome and rich, but why should they fall in love with you? You, be realistic, what you need now is not a macho, but a boost in your career ,Do you understand?"
Wen Xiaohui was uncomfortable hearing this, although he understood what Raven meant, and this kind of thing was not uncommon anywhere, but he didn't think about falling in love so complicated, and he didn't want it to be so complicated. He could only respond: "Well, I understand."
There was a small commotion not far away, the crowd parted slightly, and a tall young man came over with a wine glass, chatting and laughing happily with the people around him.
Wen Xiaohui's eyes lit up, that man is so handsome! His vigorous chest muscles can be seen through the suit, and he has a kind of rebelliousness and nobility coming from his bones. He is not an ordinary person at first glance. Wen Xiaohui hurriedly asked: "Raven, Raven, who is that, I haven't seen it on TV before."
Raven smiled and said, "That's not a celebrity, he, don't even think about it."
"Oh, I can't even ask."
"Does the organizer of this charity dinner know who it is?"
"XX Group."
"Does the chairman of XX Group know?"
"It's a woman."
"That's right, Chief Shao's eldest daughter, that's Chief Shao's youngest son, Shao Qun, the only son who gave birth to three daughters, it's precious."
Wen Xiaohui immediately understood what Raven meant by telling him not to think about it, not to mention appearance, just this family background is beyond the reach of ordinary people in a lifetime.
Raven continued: "Besides, it's very flirtatious. You have come back from abroad. You may not have heard of some tricks."
Wen Xiaohui shrugged, disapproving: "Oh."
"I'll ask Huahua to introduce him later, Huahua has slept with him before."
Wen Xiaohui asked in surprise: "Is he double?"
Raven gave him a blank look: "What's so strange about twins."
Because of having a scumbag ex-boyfriend, Wen Xiaohui has always been very repulsed by bisexuality. When he heard that Shao Qun was bisexual, he felt a little offended.
"Raven!"
The two turned their heads, and a fat middle-aged man walked over with a smile.
Raven's entire face lit up, and his voice became coquettish an octave: "Mr. Luo."
Mr. Luo smiled until his teeth were exposed, and reached out to pat Raven's arm: "I haven't seen you for a few days, your skin is more tender."
Raven smiled and said, "It's the opposite of growth." He pushed Wen Xiaohui, "Adi, this is Mr. Luo from XX Investment, Mr. Luo, this is my little assistant, Adrian, just call him Adi. "
Mr. Luo looked at Wen Xiaohui with a smile, his eyes looked him up and down, obviously presumptuous.
Wen Xiaohui felt uncomfortable for a while, and he forced a smile: "Mr. Luo is good."
"Raven, your little assistant is so young, you are not an adult."
"Of course I am an adult, how can I use child labor, I am 19 years old."
"Not bad, young talent." Mr. Luo stretched out his hand, "Adi, hello."
Wen Xiaohui endured the discomfort and shook Mr. Luo's hand. His intuition told him that Boss Luo had plans for him. Since he was a child, he had seen this kind of happy look in the eyes of many people who chased him, but few of them were as naked as Boss Luo.
"Adi is very talented, and he will definitely be the pillar of the future." Raven said with a smile, "Adi, you and Mr. Luo hit it off so well, please leave a phone call for each other, and next time Mr. Luo comes to the store, I'll just call you directly. "
Wen Xiaohui cursed in his heart, he fell in love with your uncle.
Mr. Luo had already taken out his mobile phone, and Wen Xiaohui could only exchange numbers with him.
After writing down the phone call, Mr. Luo smiled ambiguously at Wen Xiaohui: "Take our future pillar to dinner some other day, little Adi, you have to do me a favor."
Wen Xiaohui smiled stiffly and said, "Definitely."
"Adi has morning shifts every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Mr. Luo can take Adi out to eat delicious food at any time. The new Italian restaurant on XX Road is good. Adi said he wanted to eat there last time. .”
Wen Xiaohui's stomach was full of fire, who the hell said he was going to eat some Italian food, he didn't expect Raven to sell him so undisguisedly, with no shame at all.
The smile on Wen Xiaohui's face couldn't be maintained any longer, and Raven also saw it, so he stopped embellishing and said with a smile, "Mr. Luo, you had a good time today. We'll talk about the contract another day."
"No problem, Juxing has so many young talents like you and Adi, I am very optimistic about the investment prospects, hahaha."
After Mr. Luo left, another acquaintance came over to say hello to Raven. Wen Xiaohui lost his mood a little, and didn't talk much after that.
It wasn't until the charity dinner started that the two sat down, and Raven whispered, "Why are you so stupid, you put your emotions on your face, do you want to embarrass me or President Luo?"
Wen Xiaohui muffled: "I didn't mean that."
"Luo is always the main person in charge of our project, you are not allowed to offend him."
"I know."
Raven gave him a blank look: "I told you to have a meal, but I didn't tell you to die, why are you showing your face?"
Wen Xiaohui thought about it for a while, maybe he really overreacted, maybe Raven didn't mean anything else, it was just a courtesy on the scene, so he could only say: "Raven, I'm sorry, I didn't socialize well."
"Well, slowly you get used to it..."
Wen Xiaohui's fists were clenched under the table, he doubted, would he really get used to it
