Chapter 794
It's really hard to see through.
However, I am just a stylist. No matter what kind of customer comes, as long as I earn my stylist's money, that's all that matters. Other things are not my concern.
However, the inherent weaknesses of human nature were still clearly exposed.
When faced with a wealthy heiress and a prostitute, people will instinctively treat the heiress better; this is beyond doubt.
Although the stylist Anqi tried her best to treat her clients with equality, the way she looked at Jiang Yueran was noticeably different from before. There was a hint of disdain in her eyes, though she herself was unaware of it.
Seeing the stylist's obvious stunned expression, Jiang Yueran knew she must have misunderstood her. However, since she didn't know the stylist, whether she was misunderstood or not didn't matter to Jiang Yueran. So, Jiang Yueran said directly, "Didn't you hear what I just said?"
Stylist Anqi quickly snapped out of her daze upon hearing Jiang Yueran's voice and said with a hint of embarrassment, "Oh, um... no, I was just thinking about what age group of men you'd like your makeup to appeal to! Tell me their age so I can tailor your makeover more effectively!"
Jiang Yueran instantly thought of Xu Bo'an. She hadn't asked Xu Bo'an's actual age before, only that he looked very young, with no crow's feet around his eyes. Judging from his appearance and skin condition, Xu Bo'an looked to be about the same age as her, around twenty-five or twenty-six. But his behavior didn't seem to be that young.
Most importantly, now that people's living conditions have improved, most people look several years younger than their actual age, and many people's actual age cannot be seen with the naked eye.
However, Jiang Yueran still had a rough guess about Xu Bo'an's age range. Even if Xu Bo'an was younger or older, his age would definitely be between twenty and forty years old.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yueran said to the stylist, "It should be around twenty to forty years old. Be quick, try to keep it within half an hour. In short, my overall requirement for the styling is that it be unique and so beautiful that men can't forget it after seeing it at first glance. You can handle the rest!"
The stylist was surprised to hear that Jiang Yueran mentioned a wide age range. She wanted to attract men but didn't even know their age. The stylist guessed that the two had probably never met, or if they had, it was only a few times. She was trying to attract them, but she never expected that a girl who seemed so noble and proper would be such a scumbag.
Thinking of this, stylist An Qi looked at Jiang Yueran with even more disdain.
However, Anqi is one of the top stylists in Dongjiang City, so this problem is not difficult for her. She then said to Jiang Yueran, "Okay, then I will do the makeover according to my ideas. Please have a seat!"
Jiang Yueran sat down in front of the makeup mirror, and the stylist began to apply her makeup.
After sitting down, Jiang Yueran took out her phone, edited the message, and sent it to Xu Bo'an.
When Xu Bo'an heard his phone ring, he picked it up and saw that it was a message from Jiang Yueran. The message read, "Hello Mr. Xu, our dining address tonight is 'Zixiangxuan' on Donghu Road. I have something urgent to attend to right now, please forgive me, see you in half an hour!"
Because "Zixiangxuan" is the closest place to where Jiang Yueran had her makeover, and it's considered the most upscale restaurant in the area, Jiang Yueran chose to go there, as it would be more convenient to go there after her makeover.
After sending a message to Xu Bo'an, Jiang Yueran called the driver who had come with her and instructed him to go to 'Zixiangxuan' to make arrangements.
The Central Courtyard where Xu Bo'an was located was not very close to the Zixiangxuan Restaurant; he navigated to find out that it would take about 20 minutes by car.
However, Xu Bo'an had nothing to do anyway, and last time Jiang Yueran paid a considerable price to buy the clothes he got from the Cuigu tribe, and she also planned to order some more clothes from him. Although the ordering of clothes did not go through because Jiang Yueran misunderstood him, it was enough to prove that Jiang Yueran's economic strength was very considerable.
If Xu Bo'an wants to promote the world of bonsai to the outside world, he must make friends with elites from all walks of life to help him broaden his reach.
So being a little further away doesn't bother Xu Bo'an. Although Xu Bo'an is not short of money at all, and he can easily live a worry-free life by simply reselling a few valuable calligraphy and paintings from the bonsai world.
However, what Xu Bo'an wanted was not simply a life of lying down after becoming rich. What difference would that make him from someone who is lazy and unwilling to work?
This does not reflect Xu Bo'an's personal value at all. Now that he has the good fortune to obtain the golden finger of the bonsai world, Xu Bo'an cannot waste such a good opportunity. He will definitely use the convenience brought to him by the bonsai world to expand his career, and then use his achievements to help those in society who need help more.
If we think further ahead, we need to drive our country's economic growth so that our economy far surpasses that of other countries, making us a leader in the field.
However, this is only Xu Bo'an's very long-term and somewhat unattainable wish, although such a goal is still an unattainable dream for Xu Bo'an at present.
However, Xu Bo'an still hopes to continuously surpass himself and gradually realize his dream while working hard step by step.
Therefore, Xu Bo'an now only wants to develop his career. He cannot put himself in a high and mighty position where he can be lazy and ignore everyone just because he has some money. He needs to maintain the proper demeanor and actively make friends with the people he should.
Xu Bo'an put on a few simple and clean clothes, tidied his appearance in front of the mirror, and then went out.
Ten minutes had passed, and the journey would take nearly twenty minutes. With traffic lights and potential traffic jams, he might be late if he left late. So, after reading Jiang Yueran's message, Xu Bo'an began to prepare.
After arriving at the garage and getting into the car, I set the navigation and drove towards the "Zixiangxuan" restaurant.
Fortunately, there was no traffic jam along the way, and we arrived at our destination in just over twenty minutes.
After arriving and parking the car, Xu Bo'an walked into the "Zi Xiang Xuan" restaurant. He gave his name and was then led by a waiter to a private room on the sixth floor. Jiang Yueran's driver was already waiting at the door. Seeing the waiter leading Xu Bo'an to his private room, he quickly stepped forward to greet him politely and respectfully, saying, "Hello, you must be Mr. Xu! Please come in!"
Xu Bo'an was warmly received by Jiang Yueran's driver and entered the private room. After sitting down, the two chatted for a short while before Jiang Yueran appeared at the door.
The driver and Xu Bo'an were dumbfounded when they saw Jiang Yueran's outfit.
Jiang Yueran, who had long, shiny black hair last time, now had big, wavy curls, all styled to one side. Her previous elegant makeup had been replaced with heavy makeup, and her red lips were as red as a vampire's in a TV drama. In short, Xu Bo'an couldn't accept this look and found it somewhat frightening.
What's even more shocking is her outfit. Jiang Yueran was wearing a tight-fitting, low-cut, slit mini dress, black stockings, and black high heels that appeared to be about 20 centimeters high.
This outfit was completely different from the one Xu Bo'an had seen Jiang Yueran before, and it completely overturned Xu Bo'an's impression of Jiang Yueran.
If Xu Bo'an hadn't seen the youthful and elegant Jiang Yueran before, he would have thought that the person in front of him had just come from some entertainment venue.
Xu Bo'an remembered that when he last met Jiang Yueran, she was dressed very elegantly and appropriately, making people feel comfortable. She looked like a noble rich girl. How come she was dressed like a woman who was somewhat unrestrained and had a bit of a worldly air this time?
What exactly happened to Jiang Yueran in less than a month that caused such a dramatic change in her?
What Xu Bo'an didn't know was that Jiang Yueran's outfit today was entirely due to the fact that she had gone to the store to get it altered after being provoked by him on the phone earlier.
The stylist wasn't a mind reader for Jiang Yueran and had no idea what her purpose was in changing herself. So, the stylist simply transformed Jiang Yueran into her own interpretation of what she meant.
This led the stylist to completely misunderstand Jiang Yueran's intentions, thinking that Jiang Yueran was going to do something improper, which is why she dressed her up like this.
The person most shocked by Jiang Yueran's attire was none other than Lao Li, the driver who came with her.
This driver is the one who has stayed at the Jiang family's house the longest. He has watched Jiang Yueran grow up. In Old Li's memory, Jiang Yueran is a very intelligent girl who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She can learn anything and do it well.
Among the three children of the Jiang family, Miss Jiang Yueran is the smartest and also the most educated, having graduated from a top university abroad. Not only is she intelligent and academically excellent, but her character is also impeccable; she treats the servants in the house as her own family.
Every servant in the household praised Miss Jiang Yueran highly.
Miss Jiang Yueran usually dresses very appropriately and elegantly. And just before we parted, she wasn't dressed like this. How did she suddenly change like this? If Chairman Jiang finds out, Miss Jiang Yueran will probably get a scolding, and I'm afraid I'll suffer an undeserved disaster as well!
Thinking of this, Old Li, the driver who had come with Jiang Yueran, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Amid the strange looks from Xu Bo'an and the driver Lao Li, Jiang Yueran, wearing nearly 20-centimeter high heels, staggered in, completely unsteady on her feet. Jiang Yueran paid no attention to their thoughts, only feeling that her stylist had changed her look according to her own ideas, and she felt quite good about herself.
After Jiang Yueran greeted Xu Bo'an and introduced herself, Xu Bo'an looked at Jiang Yueran's outfit and said with a smile, "Miss Jiang, your outfit today is quite unique!"
After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Jiang Yueran couldn't help but think to herself, "If I don't dress up in a special way, you won't remember me next time. I'll have to explain for ages when I call you, which is not only tiring and exhausting, but more importantly, it's a loss of face for me, the great beauty Jiang. This time, I'll make sure you remember me once and for all!"
After silently criticizing him, Jiang Yueran put on a standard, polite smile and said to Xu Bo'an, "It's alright. It's just basic respect for guests for a girl to dress up a bit! Don't you agree?"
Xu Bo'an choked on the tea he had just drunk after hearing Jiang Yueran's words.
How can you call this kind of attire basic respect for guests? What normal person would dress like this to receive guests? Of course, except for those inappropriate relationships.
However, the reason Xu Bo'an came to see Jiang Yueran this time was because he felt that Jiang Yueran had bought the clothes he had taken from the Cuigu tribe at a high price last time, and thought that Jiang Yueran was a very generous young lady, at least comparable to the rich people of the second-rate families in Jiangzhou Province.
However, Xu Bo'an really couldn't figure out her outfit today. He wondered which wealthy family would allow their daughter to dress like this?
Xu Bo'an couldn't help but doubt Jiang Yueran's identity. Could it be that he had misjudged her this time and mistaken her for a pearl?
The main reason Xu Bo'an accepted Jiang Yueran's invitation was because he felt that Jiang Yueran could be of some help in developing his career, and he thought that Jiang Yueran was someone he could befriend. Who knew it would turn out like this?
But Xu Bo'an thought about it again and realized that with his current ability to judge people, there shouldn't be such a big difference in his judgment of people!
After choking on the water, Xu Bo'an couldn't help but cough a few times. Seeing this, Jiang Yueran pretended to be very concerned and said to Xu Bo'an, "Mr. Xu, are you alright?"
Xu Bo'an said, "Yeah, thankfully, everything's alright!"
Then Jiang Yueran instructed the driver, Lao Li, "Lao Li, there's nothing for you here. I have something important to discuss with Mr. Xu. Please excuse me for a moment!"
Jiang Yueran was quite puzzled. Usually, her driver, Lao Li, was very perceptive; he would always leave and wait in the car when he knew she had something to discuss with a customer. Why did she have to personally remind him today? (End of Chapter)
