Outside the restaurant, Lin Zhen waited for Jian Yan to fasten her seat belt and then slowly drove the car out.
"Where to?" Lin Zhen asked.
Jian Yan replied without thinking, "Just drive me home."
"Going home so early?" Lin Zhen looked at the time in the car. It was not even two o'clock yet. "How about you accompany me to the mall?"
Jian Yan said, "I stay in the mall every day. What's there to shop for?"
Lin Zhen: "…"
She couldn't refute that.
"Then what are you going to do at home so early?" she asked.
"Draw. I'm currently drawing an illustration for 'Shang Ke'. I want to release it on Christmas Day as a festive picture for everyone."
"Ooh, that's a good idea."
"Right? And since I haven't had any new works recently, I need to make my presence felt too."
Lin Zhen laughed. "Don't you already have enough presence? Just now in the restaurant, I saw someone wearing the clothes you collaborated on with Bunny."
"Ah, those clothes are selling quite well. I even bought a few pieces myself."
Lin Zhen: "…"
After dropping Jian Yan off at home, Lin Zhen went to the mall alone. As soon as Jian Yan got home, she started drawing and finally finished the sketch before the sun set.
She logged onto Weibo, posted the sketch for everyone to see, and then went to cook. When she came back, she had already received several thousand comments. But what caught her attention the most was the cartoon boy's profile picture next to the like button.
That was Nan Si's Weibo profile picture.
She specifically went to Nan Si's Weibo to take a look and found that her Weibo post was the second one on his homepage, and he had liked it ten minutes ago.
She opened the comments on his homepage and found that they were really interesting.
"The sketch is so beautiful! My Yi Niannian and Shang Keke are the best!"
"Ms. Tangzhi! Nan Si liked your post! I just realized that you two are mutual followers on Weibo!"
"Ahhhh, my male god liked my female god's post!"
"Husband Nan Si! You haven't posted on Weibo for a long time! Since you have time to like others' posts, why don't you update your own Weibo?"
"Caught Mr. Nan Si [mischievous smile]"
"Hahaha, husband Nan Si, you've been exposed! Since you're on Weibo, why don't you flirt with us?"
Not only did the fans mention Nan Si under Tangzhi's Weibo post, but they also didn't miss his Weibo. A few minutes later, Nan Si finally updated a Weibo post.
Nan Si v: Posting a Weibo to prove that I've been here. :)
Jian Yan: "…"
What's the difference between posting this Weibo and not posting it at all?
However, out of the spirit of reciprocity, she also liked his post.
After He Xiu saw the like she gave him, he sent her a QQ message.
Nan Si: :)
Jian Yan didn't have QQ logged in on her computer, but her phone notification rang. Seeing that it was from Nan Si, she replied with an emoji: "^_^"
Nan Si: You should be more careful when liking posts in the future.
Tangzhi: Hahahahahaha
Nan Si: Have you had dinner, Ms. Tangzhi?
Tangzhi: I'm having it right now.
As she spoke, she took a photo and sent it to Nan Si.
Nan Si: Did you cook it yourself?
Tangzhi: Yeah. Why?
Nan Si: You don't seem like someone who can cook [laughing and crying emoji]
Tangzhi: Why do you say that? You haven't even met me.
Nan Si: From reading your comic, I think you must be a very fashionable person in real life, not the type who can cook.
Tangzhi: I have no choice. I'm single and live alone. If I don't cook, I won't have anything to eat :-(
He Xiu smiled and typed in the dialog box again: "By the way, the planner added the CV of the second male lead to the group today. Did you see it?"
… She really hadn't.
Tangzhi: I'll go check it out.
There was indeed a new person in the small group. He was also a very famous CV, and his online name was Lulu. The group had already welcomed him once before. Since Jian Yan saw that he was online at the moment, she greeted him.
Tangzhi: Hello, Qin Bai ^_^
Qin Bai was the name of the second male lead in "Shang Ke". He and the female lead, Shang Ke, were childhood playmates, and he had always had feelings for her. But as the saying goes, the childhood sweetheart can't compete with the new arrival. Shang Ke was deeply attracted by Yi Nian, who she met suddenly that day.
Yi Nian was a model with some international fame. He not only had a good-looking face and a great figure but also dressed very fashionably. To Shang Ke, he was like the bright moon in the sky, out of reach. She had always been chasing after his back. Qin Bai, on the other hand, was like a shadow, always by Shang Ke's side. But perhaps because she was too used to his presence, she easily overlooked him.
It was he who told Shang Ke that only when you stand side by side with someone can you see the same scenery. In order to catch up with Yi Nian's pace, Shang Ke began to change herself, trying hard to learn everything about fashion and even participating in a model training course.
She didn't know if these efforts had caught Yi Nian's attention, but the more she learned, the more curious she became about this colorful world. If at first it was just for Yi Nian, later it was more for herself.
She didn't want a life that was just "Shang Ke's".
Lulu: Hello, Ms. Tangzhi!
Lulu: Ms. Tangzhi, I've also read the comic "Shang Ke". Qin Bai is so pitiful. Don't you consider drawing a side story for him? [laughing and crying emoji]
Tangzhi: Hahaha, I will definitely draw one if I have the chance.
Lulu: [touched]
Jiang Jiang: This group is awesome. It feels so great to be surrounded by male gods!
Wang Si: →_→
Majiang: All right, kids. It's time to get to work. The screenwriter has already revised the scripts for the first two episodes. Get ready to record the audio [mischievous smile]
This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.
Jiang Jiang: I want to listen to the male god's song first!
Nan Si: I'll let Ms. Tangzhi listen to it first after it's recorded.
Jiang Jiang: …
Jian Yan smiled and picked up her chopsticks to continue having dinner.
After taking a day off, Jian Yan got up on time to go to work the next morning. As December arrived, the weather was significantly colder than in November. Jian Yan stood in front of her large wardrobe for a while and chose a long white fleece coat.
After choosing the white coat, Jian Yan simply matched all her clothes with white. She picked a white stand-up collar knitted sweater, a long A-line tulle skirt, and a pair of white fur high-heeled shoes.
With her hair coiled up at the back of her head, Jian Yan looked at herself in the full-length mirror and gave herself ninety-nine points.
She left one point for room for improvement. She couldn't be too proud.
This all-white outfit attracted a lot of attention in the mall. Many customers came to ask her about matching clothes in the same color scheme.
"When matching clothes in the same color scheme, you can distinguish the layers by using different saturations. You can also use different fabrics for each item to make the outfit look less rigid," she said.
The female customer opposite her nodded. "I've always thought that matching clothes in the same color scheme is very bold, but when it's done well, it's really eye-catching, just like your outfit."
Jian Yan smiled and said, "There are many classic colors for winter, such as pink, white, camel, and brown, which are all good choices."
"Yeah, I want to try camel. Do you have any recommendations?"
Jian Yan said, "Camel is a very gentle color and is perfect for winter. The retro style is still very popular this year. A suede A-line short skirt is a representative element of the 1990s street style." As she spoke, she picked out a camel suede short skirt in the sales area. "You can match it with a long coat. A coat that reaches below the knee and the short skirt inside can create a perfect body proportion."
After the female customer tried it on, she bought all the clothes recommended by Jian Yan. While Jian Yan was helping this customer check out, two more girls came over. They watched for a while and suddenly said, "Aren't you Jian Yan?"
Jian Yan was taken aback and looked at them.
"Yes, yes, it's really Jian Yan!"
The two girls were as excited as if they had discovered a new world, and their mouths could hardly close. "Didn't you get admitted to Peking University and study fashion design? Why are you here selling clothes?"
The other girl laughed a few times and echoed her, "Yeah, why are you doing so poorly? It seems that doing well in school doesn't mean much, right?"
After she finished speaking, the two of them laughed again. Jian Yan recognized them at this moment. They were indeed her high school classmates. She wasn't angry either. She just smiled at them and said, "Are you two here to buy clothes?"
"Yeah." The girl with light brown hair said, "Since you're a salesperson here, help us recommend some clothes."
After she finished speaking, she laughed with the girl next to her again. Jian Yan just maintained a smile and really started to recommend clothes for them. "Pleated knee-length skirts are very popular this year, especially those with a metallic texture, which are very eye-catching. And fur is also an essential element for winter..."
Jian Yan smoothly recommended a whole set of clothes for them. Although the two girls had just been making fun of her before, after putting on the clothes she matched, they were really a bit amazed by their reflections in the mirror.
"Wow, it looks really nice," said the girl with light brown hair again, glancing at Jian Yan sideways. Jian Yan smiled and said, "It's mainly because you two are good-looking."
The two girls smiled complacently. "That's true. No matter how nice the clothes are, they need someone to set them off. How much is this set? I'll take it."
Jian Yan said, "Thank you for your patronage. It's a total of 13,580 yuan."
"Thirteen thousand...?" The girl frowned slightly as she said these two words and then swallowed the rest of her words.
Jian Yan thought for a while and said somewhat apologetically, "Are the clothes I recommended too cheap? Ah, I'm so silly. These are the brands I usually wear. Your income is higher than mine, so you must look down on them. Wait a moment. I'll get you some better brands."
"No need!" The girl quickly stopped her. Jian Yan looked back at her in confusion.
The girl looked at the clothes on Jian Yan and found that they were indeed from these brands. She pursed her lips and said to her, "I also want to try these ordinary brands occasionally. They can give me a different feeling."
"Oh..." Jian Yan nodded in understanding. "Well then, thank you for your patronage. It's a total of 13,580 yuan."
…
After leading them to check out, a colleague from the Dream Wardrobe came up to Jian Yan and whispered to her, "Your high school classmates?"
Jian Yan nodded. The colleague said, "Tsk, they have such mean mouths. So what if you're a salesperson? Do they know how much our top salesperson earns per month?"
Jian Yan smiled but didn't answer. The colleague gave her a thumbs-up. "Well done."
Jian Yan said, "I've already shown mercy."
She had helped them match clothes from head to toe, and it only cost a little over ten thousand yuan. She really had shown mercy.
