Chapter 355 I won't interfere in your girls' affairs.
The next morning, on the campus of Han City University.
After finishing her class, Li Mengli went to the school cafeteria with Zhao Jiajia and Huo Qian for lunch.
They found a seat by the window and sat down.
Li Mengli looked at her two good friends in front of her, a very happy smile on her face.
She began, "Jiajia, Huo Qian, I have something to tell you."
Zhao Jiajia took a bite of her food, looked at Li Mengli, and asked, "What's wrong? You seem so happy."
Li Mengli took a deep breath and said clearly, "At the beginning of next month, I'm going to New York, America. I'm going to attend a very grand international fashion show."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jiajia stopped eating. Her eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Going to New York? Participating in an international fashion show? That's incredible!"
Huo Qian, sitting beside her, was also very surprised. She looked at Li Mengli and asked, "Mengli, are you going to watch the show as an audience member?"
Li Mengli shook her head and answered very seriously, "I'm not watching a show. I'm a guest performer, walking the runway."
Zhao Jiajia was so excited that she stood up abruptly and exclaimed, "Oh my god! You're going to walk the runway! You're going to be a top model!"
Li Mengli pulled Zhao Jiajia down to sit, and said with a smile, "Don't be so loud, everyone's watching us."
Huo Qian was acutely aware of the significance of such an international fashion show. She knew that everyone who could walk the runway was incredibly talented. She said to Li Mengli, "Mengli, this is a truly wonderful opportunity. You must seize it."
Li Mengli nodded and continued, "There's one more thing. My dad told me last night that he's going to hire the world's top makeup and styling team for me. He said he'll have these masters fly all the way to Han City to design my look."
Huo Qian's eyes widened when she heard about the world's top makeup and styling team.
Huo Qian comes from an extremely wealthy family; she is a true heiress. Of course, she knows who those top international masters are.
Huo Qian said very seriously, "Mengli, your father is really amazing. Those top international stylists usually only style the most famous celebrities in the world. Their schedules are extremely full. Even very wealthy people have to book them well in advance. Your father was able to invite them all; that's something that not just anyone can do."
Zhao Jiajia listened from the side. Although she didn't quite understand how amazing these masters were, she knew that it must be something extremely impressive when Huo Qian said it.
Zhao Jiajia tugged at Li Mengli's arm and said expectantly, "Mengli, what do those international masters look like? I can only see celebrities' outfits on my phone. I really want to see how these masters work in person."
Huo Qian nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes. It would be an invaluable experience to witness firsthand how these top teams work."
Seeing how much her two good friends wanted to go, Li Mengli smiled generously.
Li Mengli said directly, "Why not? I'll send you a message once they arrive in Han City. You can come with me and take a look. Let's see what it's like together."
Zhao Jiajia clapped her hands in delight. Huo Qian also smiled and said thank you.
Time flies.
The morning of the third day.
Li Ze sat on the sofa in the living room of the large house in Beichen Garden.
He was wearing a very comfortable, high-end casual outfit today.
He held the string of beads in his right hand, his thumb moving them one by one.
Li Ze was very relaxed.
At that moment, the door was pushed open. Old Yi walked in from outside.
The old man walked up to Li Ze and stood very straight.
The eldest brother reported very respectfully to Li Ze: "Boss, the things you arranged have been taken care of. Those top international makeup and styling teams all arrived in Han City this morning."
Li Ze stopped what he was doing, looked at Lao Yi, and asked, "How many people came in total?"
The first man replied, "There are three teams in total, with twenty-five people. They include the world's most famous makeup artists, hairstylists, and stylists. They brought all their professional tools and equipment with them."
Li Ze nodded; he was very satisfied.
Li Ze asked, "Where did you arrange for them to stay?"
The first man answered very clearly, "Boss, considering that there are quite a few of them and they need a lot of space to work, I've arranged for them all to stay in that large estate you bought on the outskirts of Han City. It's very quiet there, and there are plenty of rooms, which can fully meet all their work requirements."
Li Ze listened and felt that Lao Yi's arrangement was very appropriate.
Li Ze smiled and said, "Alright. Now that they're here, call Mengli and tell her to go directly to the manor this afternoon to meet these masters."
The old man nodded and said, "Understood, boss. I'll inform Miss right away. I'll also arrange a car to pick her up from school."
Li Ze stood up and straightened his clothes.
He said very casually, "Okay. I'll go to the manor this afternoon too. I want to see just how capable these so-called masters are. As long as they can dress my daughter up beautifully, I won't shortchange them a single penny."
Around noon.
Li Mengli received a call from Lao Yi while she was in her dormitory.
The first man told her on the phone that all the top masters were now living in a manor on the outskirts of Han City. He asked her to bring her friends over that afternoon.
Li Mengli hung up the phone, extremely excited.
She immediately sent messages to Zhao Jiajia and Huo Qian in the WeChat group.
"Jiajia, Huo Qian! The masters my dad invited have arrived! Are you free this afternoon? Let's go to the manor to see them now!"
Zhao Jiajia immediately replied in the group chat: "I'm free! I'll be downstairs right away!"
Huo Qian replied, "I happen to be free of class, let's meet at the south gate of the school."
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Li Mengli, Zhao Jiajia, and Huo Qian stood outside the south gate of the school.
A black, extended Rolls-Royce came to a smooth stop in front of them.
The driver got out of the car and very respectfully opened the door for them.
The three people got into the car.
The car has a very spacious interior and the seats are very comfortable.
Zhao Jiajia sat inside, looking around happily.
She exclaimed, "Mengli, your dad always sends such high-class cars. I'm going to take a good look at those international masters today. I'll have something to brag about when I go out in the future."
Li Mengli smiled and said, "Actually, I'm a little nervous too. I'm afraid I won't understand what they're saying."
Huo Qian comforted her, "Don't be nervous. They definitely brought a translator. Besides, you're just going to have them do your hair and makeup, so don't overthink it."
The car drove very smoothly.
It took about forty minutes to drive there.
The car left the city and arrived at a very large manor on the outskirts of Han City.
The gates of the manor were very grand. The gates opened automatically, and the car drove straight in.
The estate has a large green lawn and a big fountain.
The car stopped in front of a very luxurious villa.
Li Mengli and the other two got out of the car.
The eldest brother was already standing at the gate to greet them.
The old man looked at Li Mengli and said, "Miss, you've arrived. The boss and the masters are all waiting for you in the lobby."
Li Mengli nodded and led Zhao Jiajia and Huo Qian through the villa's gate.
As soon as I entered the hall.
Li Mengli and the others witnessed a truly shocking scene.
This hall is very spacious. It is now filled with all sorts of professional equipment.
There are rows of makeup mirrors, illuminated by very professional lighting.
Several very large clothes racks were hanging nearby, filled with clothes and fabrics of various colors.
In the middle of the hall stood more than twenty foreigners.
These people included both men and women, and they were all dressed very fashionably and with great individuality.
Huo Qian's eyes widened immediately when she saw it.
She whispered to Li Mengli, "Mengli, that man in black is the top hairstylist in France. That woman with glasses is the makeup artist for many Hollywood stars. Your father really brought in the best people in the world."
Zhao Jiajia, who was listening nearby, was speechless, her mouth agape.
At this moment, Li Ze stood up from the sofa next to the hall.
He was still wearing that comfortable casual outfit today, and he was twirling beads in his hand.
He looked at Li Mengli and said with a smile, "Mengli, you're here. Come here quickly."
Li Ze spoke very casually, not at all thinking that this was a particularly remarkable thing.
He pointed to the international masters standing in the hall and said to Li Mengli, "These are the people your father invited for you. For the next two weeks, they won't do anything else. Their only task is to design looks just for you."
Those international masters saw Li Mengli walking over.
They all immediately broke into very warm smiles.
They walked up to Li Mengli and kept greeting her in English.
The translator next to them quickly began to translate their words aloud.
"Miss Li, you are truly beautiful. Your demeanor is exceptionally refined."
"It is our greatest honor to serve such a beautiful lady as you."
"We will definitely create the most perfect look for you in the world."
These masters, who are usually aloof and arrogant, are now extremely polite, even respectful, in front of Li Mengli.
Huo Qian watched all of this from the side.
She knew perfectly well why these masters were being so polite.
It was entirely because Li Ze gave them so much money.
Li Ze used the simplest and most direct method to invite these masters over.
Li Ze walked to Li Mengli's side.
He looked at the masters and said in a very calm voice, "You don't need to say such polite things here. I paid a lot of money to invite you here so that I can see your true skills."
"Bring out all your good ideas and designs. As long as the final result is good, I won't shortchange you a single penny."
The masters nodded repeatedly upon hearing Li Ze's words.
Li Ze turned his head and looked at Zhao Jiajia and Huo Qian standing beside him.
His expression became very amiable.
He said in a very humorous tone, "You two are Mengli's good friends. Since you're here today, feel free to look around and play as you please."
Li Ze pointed at the masters and said with a smile, "Anyway, I've already paid. These people are just sitting around doing nothing anyway. If you want your hair done or your makeup done, just let them do it for you. Don't be shy."
Upon hearing Li Ze's words...
Zhao Jiajia and Huo Qian were both stunned.
Want the world's top international stylists to do their hair and makeup while they're at it?
This is as exaggerated as asking the world's best chef to cook them a bowl of instant noodles.
Zhao Jiajia quickly waved her hand and said loudly, "Uncle, no need, no need. We just came to take a look. We wouldn't dare trouble these masters."
Huo Qian smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Uncle. We'll just watch from the sidelines today."
Li Ze laughed heartily. He was fiddling with the beads in his hand.
He said very naturally, "Okay, then you two stay here with Mengli. I'm going to the next room to have some tea. I won't interfere in your girls' affairs."
After saying that, Li Ze turned and walked out of the hall.
His back view looked very composed and relaxed.
Li Mengli watched her father's departing figure. She felt a deep warmth and a strong sense of security in her heart.
She turned her head and looked at the masters who were already ready to work.
She took a deep breath and a very confident smile appeared on her face.
She said loudly, "Okay. Let's begin now."
The experts immediately sprang into action. They took their tools and began meticulously measuring Li Mengli's face shape and selecting colors.
Zhao Jiajia and Huo Qian sat on the sofa next to them, watching the very professional work scene.
Deep down, they really envied Li Mengli for having such a domineering and loving father.
The entire hall was filled with a very lively and positive atmosphere.
Li Mengli knew that with the help of these people, she would definitely present her best self at the New York fashion show.
