Zheng Jiamei took Chen Yuanyuan around the concentric area of Langcheng Base and introduced the facilities of the base to Chen Yuanyuan.
It has to be said that although the Langcheng base is small, the entire base also has fresh water and electricity received from the Guangdong base, so life is still very convenient.
After nightfall, there were still children running around the base and people walking their dogs. If it hadn't been for the sweltering heat, I would have thought it was still before the end of the world.
"Let's go inside first. Let's change our clothes and then go to the main house to see grandpa. The dinner won't start until one o'clock tonight." Zheng Jiamei pulled Chen Yuanyuan into the villa in front of her.
The decoration in the villa is luxurious, but the various furniture are all pieced together in similar styles. If you look closely, they are slightly different. It seems that it took a lot of effort to put together the furniture for the whole house.
As soon as the two sat down, the servant in the room gave them two glasses of iced Prunella vulgaris to cool down.
"This building is occupied by my mother, our three brothers and sisters, and my uncle and his daughter. But they all went out today. It should be my eldest brother and cousin who are here now." Zheng Jiamei said after taking a sip of herbal tea.
"Then let me put this here for you first." Chen Yuanyuan handed the tea leaves in her hand to Zheng Jiamei.
Zheng Jiamei picked up the tea and looked at it, immediately showing a look of surprise.
"Why are you so polite, eh? Isn't this the same tea that Grandpa Zou gave to Grandpa before? It's great. My Grandpa thinks about it every day that there is no good tea now. He must like it very much."
"As long as Master Zheng likes it, right? I wonder how Grandpa Zou is doing now?" Chen Yuanyuan asked when Zheng Jiamei mentioned Zou Baisong.
"He went to Sichuan Province to see the cultural relics at Sanxingdui, but the weather changed too quickly and he couldn't come back. The day before yesterday, my brother commissioned a convoy to pick them up," Zheng Jiamei said.
"It's not easy being in a foreign land. It's a good thing to come back early now that the snow has melted." Chen Yuanyuan recalled that Zou Baisong also helped her a lot when she was in urgent need of money. Now it's great to know that he is fine.
Zheng Jiamei took Chen Yuanyuan to her room and put all the dresses in the wardrobe on Chen Yuanyuan.
"Which one do you think is better, the yellow one or the blue one?" Zheng Jiamei said.
"Just wear it casually, you don't have to be so particular." Chen Yuanyuan said with a smile.
"Oh, I don't dare to dress up in the Guangdong base. It's a rare opportunity to dress up, so I have to match it well. I'll have to put on makeup soon," Zheng Jiamei said.
"Then let's try the blue one first." Chen Yuanyuan thought that there are a lot of mosquitoes now, and the yellow color will attract mosquitoes by then.
After Chen Yuanyuan changed into a dress, Zheng Jiamei matched her with a precious sapphire necklace suit.
"Yuanyuan, what you wear looks so classy!" Zheng Jiamei praised.
"I'm just going to a party. That's too exaggerated. I'd better not wear necklaces." Chen Yuanyuan hadn't dressed up like this for a long time, and she felt a little at a loss.
"Leaving them without them is just collecting dust. Nowadays, gemstones are not worth much. They are sold at low prices. It would be a pity to leave them unused. I brought an extra pair of shoes, size 37, if I have a chance. Can you wear them?" Zheng Jiamei started to ask again. Chen Yuanyuan chose shoes.
"Okay." Seeing that Zheng Jiamei was having so much fun, Chen Yuanyuan didn't stop her.
While Chen Yuanyuan was trying on shoes, the servant knocked on Zheng Jiamei's room.
"Come in!" Zheng Jiamei said.
"Miss, the makeup artist you booked has arrived. Would you like to ask him to come up?" asked the maid.
"Let him come up." Zheng Jiamei said.
"Wow, even the makeup artist is here. This is too exaggerated." Chen Yuanyuan said.
"It's a rare time to come out, so we must make arrangements." Zheng Jiamei said with a smile.
When a tall, fair-skinned man came in, as soon as Chen Yuanyuan saw him, a voice came to mind.
Oh my god!
All girls, buy it! Buy it! Buy it!
Isn't this Li Jiaqi, the anchor who was also known as the lipstick brother before the end of the world?
Before the end of the world, he disappeared for some time for unknown reasons, and was gradually forgotten. Unexpectedly, he is now working as a makeup artist.
Chen Yuanyuan was also curious and asked him why he was no longer an anchor on the platform at that time. Chen Yuanyuan had also bought things in his live broadcast room before, so it was too strange for him to suddenly quit when he was popular.
It turned out that I was studying in a makeup school abroad. I didn’t expect that when I came back, I wanted to make a strong comeback during the 520 Shopping Festival and restart my live broadcast career. Unexpectedly, I encountered the apocalypse.
"There are too many big-name products here that are on expiration date. Some of them are ancient cosmetics that I asked someone to customize. You can check them out." Li Jiaqi said.
Ladies in wealthy areas are very particular about what they use on their faces, so Li Jiaqi will check their cosmetics before applying them on their faces.
"Use my own toner. Everything else is fine." Zheng Jiamei took two and looked at them before saying.
After Li Jiaqi applied Zheng Jiamei's toner on their faces, she was also very satisfied with the effect of the toner.
"This toner is very absorbent. Miss Zheng, where did you buy it?" Li Jiaqi took the toner and looked at it. Except for a small black cat pattern and the words "toner", there was no logo on it.
"Eh? That's not it," Chen Yuanyuan said when she saw the familiar packaging.
"I bought it at Linlin and another girl's stall. Linlin was not there at that time, and Grandma He refused to take my money, so I rushed to scan the code." Zheng Jiamei said with a smile.
"This product works so well. Can you introduce the seller to me? I will go to her to purchase goods in the future." Li Jiaqi said.
"I'll add you as a friend when I return to the city. Then I'll give you my roommate's business card. You can buy things directly from her," Chen Yuanyuan said.
"Okay, thank you!" Li Jiaqi handed the resident card to Chen Yuanyuan, took a picture of the QR code, and then continued to put on makeup for them.
Under Li Jiaqi's professional techniques, suitable makeup was put on based on the facial contours and temperament of the two people.
Zheng Jiamei looked at herself and Chen Yuanyuan in the mirror. She was as happy as a little girl and kept pulling Chen Yuanyuan to take selfies.
"As long as you are satisfied, I'll take my leave now. See you next time!" Li Jiaqi said.
Li Jiaqi packed up her cosmetics and left in a hurry. Chen Yuanyuan saw his back running and asked Zheng Jiamei why he was in such a hurry.
"His business here is very good. There is a banquet today, and I only made an appointment with him two weeks in advance. Basically, most of the women are his customers." Zheng Jiamei said.
Chen Yuanyuan thought that if Zhang Linlin's cosmetics could be sold to the rich lady at Langcheng base through him, I believe the price would be much higher than those sold at street vendors.
Zheng Jiamei asked Chen Yuanyuan to quickly put on her shoes and go to the main house to see Mr. Zheng. She would seize the time to take photos in the main house before the banquet.
