After Wang Xiaodan left, my house was so empty that I felt a little uncomfortable. In mid-December, I found the landlord and continued to rent this suite, paying half a year's rent. The filming of the movie "Green Snake" is still in full swing. Without the position of chief makeup artist, my workload is still average.
The days passed uneventfully. As New Year's Day approached, my mother called me several times and asked me if I would be home for the New Year's Day holiday. I just said it would depend on the situation. My mother asked about Liu Nanhao. She said that on New Year’s Day, why not bring Liu Nanhao back to my house for a meal together? She said that I was not young anymore and should consider implementing a lifelong event. I told my mother calmly that I broke up with Liu Nanhao. The strange thing is that my mother was not surprised at all, and simply replied, "Then come back by yourself, and my mother will cook braised fish for you."
It was also a few phone calls with my mother that gave me the idea of taking on private work.
Because my current workload is small and I have a lot of free time, although Yuansheng’s fixed salary is more than other companies, it is limited after all, so I plan to take on some private work outside and hang out as an independent makeup artist to attract some business to earn some extra money.
This kind of thing is obviously not allowed by the company, so I didn't tell anyone except Xuanxuan.
On the third weekend of December, I accepted a wedding and makeup service under Xuanxuan’s introduction. The groom in this wedding is the leader of Yuan Sheng's partner company, and he met Xuanxuan at a negotiation meeting. Yuan Sheng also had several senior executives invited to attend this wedding. At first, I was a little worried that I would meet acquaintances, but then I thought that I just need to stay in the dressing room backstage and not go out. Besides, I don’t know Yuan Sheng’s senior executives. several.
The wedding venue was the Crown Hotel on Huanhai West Road. Since the bride had to get in the car early in the morning, I rushed to the bride’s house before dawn to put on makeup and style for her. During this period, the bride's friends and relatives kept asking for photos with the bride, so the work progressed very slowly and was completed at almost ten o'clock. Xuanxuan was also on the guest list, and she and I made an appointment to meet outside the wedding banquet venue.
When Xuanxuan saw me, she first praised me: "Wow, Shen Yan, you are so awesome. I saw the bride. Her makeup is so beautiful today. You have to make me look so beautiful when I get married in the future."
I was so complimented by her that I nodded repeatedly, "When you get married, I will make your makeup even more beautiful than hers!"
The wedding ceremony was about to begin, and guests were entering one after another. I pulled Xuanxuan to the corner and asked her in a low voice: "Isn't someone coming from Yuan Sheng? Do you know who they are?"
Xuanxuan's eyes flashed, and he hesitated: "Well, I don't know about this, because there is no list of names. It is an invitation sent directly by the groom's entruster. I don't know who it is sent to."
What I wanted to ask was actually whether Liang Sheng was coming, but because of what happened last time, Xuanxuan also deliberately avoided mentioning Liang Sheng to me, so it was hard for me to ask her. Since she said she didn't know, I didn't ask any more questions.
Because I put a lot of thought into setting the makeup when I was doing the bride’s makeup, I barely had to touch up the makeup during the whole session. With the grand opening of the wedding march and the warm applause of all the guests, the bride and groom walked onto the stage hand in hand. At this time, everyone's attention was focused on the newlyweds on the stage. Since the bride and groom and I didn't know each other, I walked around to the bathroom from behind without interest.
The meal lasted for about ten minutes. When I came out with my mobile phone, I bumped into someone. When I looked up, I saw that it was Liang Sheng.
He was actually wearing a groomsmen suit! Black suit, white shirt, red bow tie, clear face, deep eyes, everything is as beautiful as ever. He still looked at me with his habitual plug in both hands, with a faint, imperceptible smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
"How will you be here?"
This question came out of my mouth unconsciously. In fact, it didn't surprise me at all that he would appear here. The reason why I ask this is because in this situation, I really don’t have a better opening line to say.
Liang Sheng looked at me and said calmly: "I should ask you this question."
Why am I here? Oops, what should I say? If he knew that I was taking private work, would he publicly announce that I was fired
I was evasive and made up a reason casually: "I came with Xuanxuan."
At this time, we can only use Xuanxuan as a shield.
"Xuanxuan?" Liang Sheng frowned slightly, then smiled and said meaningfully: "What a coincidence, I also came with Xuanxuan. Oh no, Xuanxuan came with me."
"What?" I was stunned. Did he mean that Xuanxuan came with him? Then why didn't Xuanxuan tell me? I suddenly became a little angry and felt that Xuanxuan was hiding it from me on purpose.
Liang Sheng stretched out his hand to pull me, and said calmly: "Since you came with Xuanxuan, you also came with me, so let's go."
I reflexively pulled out my hand, deliberately distanced myself from him, and said in a lowered voice, "I'm with Xuanxuan, not you. It's not working time. You have no right to interfere with me."
Liang Sheng paused and looked at me with his hands, "I know you are still angry about what happened last time, so you are not going to give me a chance to listen to my explanation?"
"Explain? Is there anything to explain? You are the boss and I am the employee, and all the decisions you make are right." I held my breath in my heart. I did feel a little nauseous when I said this, but that matter was It is true that I am worried about something in my heart. There is no need to hide my emotions. If you feel uncomfortable, you just feel uncomfortable. If you are not convinced, you are not convinced.
"Shen Yan!" Liang Sheng called my name and was about to say something. His cell phone suddenly rang. After a moment of hesitation, he turned sideways, picked up the phone, and then replied: "I'm in the bathroom. be right back!"
After hanging up the phone, he turned to look at me again, his voice extremely soft: "The bride and groom are toasting, I'll go back for a while, and I'll come find you later."
I didn't answer, he gave me a strange smile and left. He said he was looking for me. How did he know where I was and where to look for me? Did Xuanxuan tell him everything about my coming here and makeup?
Back in the dressing room backstage, I sent a message to Xuanxuan, "You came here with Liang Sheng, why didn't you tell me?"
After five minutes, Xuanxuan came back, "You asked me not to mention Mr. Liang in front of you, but I didn't say anything. Why, you saw him, hehe, did you think he was particularly handsome today?"
I was a little angry. Xuanxuan was actually thinking of being a nymphomaniac. I held my phone and typed out: "Usually you don't need to mention it, but today is different. If Liang Sheng finds out about my private work, he will Fire me!"
Xuanxuan came back quickly this time, but only with two short words: "No!"
I didn't even think about it and said, "He's so mean. How can you be sure he won't? You're not him."
When I received a reply again, I was shocked and froze in front of the dressing table. The text message read: "I am."
