Chapter 115: Disaster Makeover (1)
As Wang Chuan stood in front of his boss, Chen Shu remembered something and opened his mouth. “In a few days, it will be White Day, right?”
“Yes.” Wang Chuan responded, a little stunned. He felt strange; why did President Chen mention this suddenly? Could it be that President Chen wanted to surprise Ye Sui?
At this time, Chen Shu’s voice sounded. “On White Day, give all female employees a champagne rose.”
Wang Chuan froze. What?
However, he quickly figured out Chen Shu’s intentions behind it.
If every female employee received champagne rose, this matter would surely spread like wildfire.
The outside would know that on this important day, Huarui gave Ye Sui’s endorsed flowers to its female employees.
Chen Shu was trying to make a statement: Huarui valued Ye Sui, and she was their most-favored artist. Wang Chuan nodded to himself. This was a good idea.
Wang Chuan considered for a few seconds and suddenly thought of a possibility. He tentatively asked, “What if… the champagne roses are not enough?”
It was the White Day, while usually, Ye Sui’s champagne rose was already out of stock. After all, everyone would be rushing to buy it on the special occasion.
If they wanted to give one to all the female employees, it would probably be difficult.
Chen Shu’s brows slightly furrowed. His expression was somewhat unwilling as he said in a weak tone, “If it’s not enough, just use red roses to make up the difference.”
Make up the difference?
Wang Chuan understood at once. In President Chen’s eyes, the red roses endorsed by Pei Ning were to serve as a stopgap, stuffing them when Ye Sui’s flowers were not enough. Therefore, Huarui had to buy flowers endorsed by Pei Ning because Ye Sui’s flowers were out of stock!
Pei Ning was a complement to Ye Sui.
Wang Chuan: “Rest assured, President Chen. I will definitely handle this little thing.”
It was finally the White Day. Xiao Lu was a Huarui employee, and on this day, she came to the company as usual. She opened the door and went to her workstation.
Xiao Lu looked at the table and was stunned. If she was not mistaken, wasn’t this Gaoshe Garden’s champagne rose!? But why was it on her table? Xiao Lu rubbed her eyes and then looked again.
The champagne rose was still there. Delicately packed and vibrantly blooming! Holy cow! For a moment, she felt like a princess!
Xiao Lu looked around and found all the female employees in the office had champagne rose in their hands. So, this was a gift for female employees!
What a caring company.
A female employee next to Xiao Lu leaned over and whispered, “I inquired around and found out that a lot of departments sent champagne roses. Only a few departments sent red roses.
“The people who got the red rose were envious of us, saying we were lucky to get such a sought-after champagne rose.”
Xiao Lu smelled something odd.
The red rose was endorsed by Pei Ning, while the champagne rose was endorsed by Ye Sui. But why was the number of champagne roses sent far more than red roses?Original translation is from chichipeph.com
Before Ye Sui came to Huarui, Pei Ning had always been Huarui’s most popular star, but now, had it changed?
Huarui’s female employees were delighted, and some of them posted the flowers on the Internet with the title: “I am so happy to receive flowers from Huarui on the White Day.”
The posts also had several pictures, most of which were champagne roses and a small part being red roses.
As soon as they saw that the post was related to Huarui, netizens rushed over. Seeing this content, the number of comments skyrocketed.
“Others send chocolate on Valentine’s Day, but Huarui’s President Chen sends high-end flowers! Please give me a romantic president like this too!”
“How can I enter Huarui? Please let me know!”
“President Chen is so generous, buying so many champagne roses. Does that mean he is flattering Ye Sui now?”
“Why are there so few red roses? Is Huarui not planning to buy Pei Ning’s flowers now? Pei Ning is going to cry in the toilet.
Someone else brought up the idea that although Pei Ning was popular and had won many awards, Ye Sui’s award was more convincing than her.
Ye Sui’s single award of the Berlin Film Queen was enough to outweigh all of Pei Ning’s awards.
Huarui had given many top resources to Pei Ning’s mouth, yet she was not as good as Ye Sui. Ye Sui’s development was so fast; who wouldn’t value her?
With this, everyone wondered if Huarui’s wind direction had changed. Was Ye Sui the most preferred artist from now on?
Chapter 115: Disaster Makeover (2)
There were a lot of discussions on the Internet. On the other side, Pei Ning’s agent told her, “Huarui sent red roses to the female employees today.”
Pei Ning was overjoyed that her red rose had sold well and not Ye Sui’s champagne rose. It looked like the company was helping in promoting her goods!
Huarui still attached great importance to her.
In the next second, the agent extinguished Pei Ning’s self-comfort. “However, only a few departments received red roses. Most people got champagne roses.”
Pei Ning was utterly stunned and immediately retorted, “Impossible! How could Huarui help…” Before she finished her words, Pei Ning stopped.
How could she forget that Ye Sui was Huarui’s Madam? Without a doubt, Huarui would be on Ye Sui’s side.
The agent sighed. “Think it over. If you improve yourself, Huarui will still hold you.”Original translation is from chichipeph.com
Pei Ning was silent. In terms of appearance and acting, Ye Sui was not inferior to her, even having the potential to surpass her. Even if Ye Sui was not Huarui’s Madam, Pei Ning would still lose in every aspect.
Where else could she contend with Ye Siu?
A month ago, Ye Sui had landed an advertisement. This time, a new product of the Fang Brand was jointly launched with the Xia Zhou Dynasty Museum.
A famous director was invited to shoot the advertisement. His characteristic was that he didn’t like photoshopped photos, preferring real-life ones.
Thus, in order to improve the quality of the whole advertisement, they shot in the real palace.
Of course, the Xia Zhou Dynasty Palace was a national museum, and the crew was not allowed to just barge in and start shooting. Ye Sui’s team could only fly to Yingshi City, where the advertisement would be shot.
Ye Sui got up early and left by plane with Xiao Liu.
Ye Sui was late at work last night, so she took a break on the plane. When she woke up, she was in Yingshi City. Ye Sui got in the arranged car and was taken to the shooting location.
After getting off, the red walls and yellow tiles were everywhere. The majestic palace was like a picture scroll, slowly spreading the extravagance and magnificence in front of them.
Ye Sui was suddenly in a trance. For a moment, she even forgot why she was here. “Where is this?”
Her voice was very soft. She seemed to be talking to herself and yet asking someone at the same time.
Xiao Liu subconsciously replied, “Suisui, this is the Xia Zhou Dynasty Palace.”
The Xia Zhou Dynasty Palace, the scenic spot of Yingshi City, was built according to the original Xia Zhou Dynasty Palace. The structure inside was almost identical to the real one.
It was early spring, and the sun was shining brightly. However, there was a faint chill in the sunlight.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew over, and the chill of early spring came violently. It had rained here last night, and the air was damp and cold, drilling into her coat.
Xiao Liu led Ye Sui inside to put on makeup. Once they got in the building, it was not so cold.
The costume designer had prepared several sets of ancient costumes customized according to Ye Sui’s body shape. The Fang brand had invested a lot in the advertisement, having Ye Sui’s body measured after deciding she was the spokesperson.
When Ye Sui came out in her first outfit, a dark yellow mirror was placed in the temple, and she could clearly see her face in it.
She was wearing a Xia Zhou dynasty’s costume, which she had never seen before. But, it unexpectedly suited her and somewhat softened her bright facial features.
Ye Sui’s head slightly hurt, and her vision blurred.
Accompanied by a burst of pain, tears unconsciously fell from the corner of her eyes.
There was no sand in her eyes, and the sunshine was not burning her eyes. However, her eyes did not obey her. For some reason, Ye Sui felt an impulse to cry as she stood here.
It seemed to be the same feeling when she stood outside the Xia Zhou Dynasty palace last time.
A chilling sensation swept through the empty hall, striking her in the heart.
“Sui Sui, the director is calling you.” Xiao Liu came running over and interrupted her thoughts.
Ye Sui turned her head and wiped the tears from her eyes with her hand. Xiao Liu put on her coat and went to the shooting site together. Although it was just the first set, the shooting dragged to noon.
The reason? Ye Sui was distracted.
Chapter 115: Disaster Makeover (3)
The director had already talked about the shooting sequence with Ye Sui, roughly divided into several directions, and the rest was left up to her. The lighting equipment was also in place, and the shooting began.
Ye Sui reclined on the couch, a carved mirror in her hand, and carefully looked at her face. Her every frown and every smile fitted her perfectly.
Originally, the next step was to get up, but Ye Sui’s vision blurred a bit, and her eyes felt sour.
She frowned, but she couldn’t keep up with the script, so she had to start from the beginning. The previous shots were no longer usable.
After the first batch of dresses was filmed, everyone on the set went to lunch. Ye Sui sat under the shade of the tree and watched the sun fade.
In the morning, the weather was clearly fine, but at noon, it was cloudy. The gray sky enveloped the Xia Zhou Palace, as if a storm was brewing.
The red wall at the moment looked somber and dark. Beneath the shadows, the formerly bright red seemed to have become rusty, exuding a kind of gloomy aura.
The staff had all gone to eat, and there was no one around. On the rusty-red wall, a gray shadow drifted across.
Ye Sui froze, wondering if she was just misinterpreting what she saw. She looked around and saw no ghost.
But when she looked at the wall, the shadow appeared again, and she could vaguely see the person was dressed in Xia Zhou clothes. She was not able to discern other features.
Like the shadow of a palace maid had drifted by.
The old dreams and shadows of the past flitted by. It was gray, as if covered by a layer of fog. It seemed not real and very distant.
Ye Sui felt familiar and wondered if she had seen it somewhere, but every time she thought about it, her head ached.
Her head hurt, her hands shook, and the cup she was holding fell on the ground. The water spilled all over the floor.
“Sui Sui, you are out of it today.” Xiao Liu felt strange and asked with concern, “You didn’t sleep well last night?”
Just as Xiao Liu came back, she saw Ye Sui dropping her cup. She helped Ye Sui pick it up and handed her a glass of hot water again.
Ye Sui smiled and didn’t tell Xiao Liu the truth, only saying, “Maybe I am too tired.”
When she first arrived at Yingshi City in the morning, there was an uneasy feeling. The longer she stayed, the more distinct it became.
This was the second time that Ye Sui had seen the Xia Zhou palace. The difference was that she had just taken a look outside the wall back then, but this time, she was standing inside, barely catching a glimpse of the Xia Zhou palace.
No matter the palace or the dress, every place seemed familiar.
But before Ye Sui came to this world, she had never known about this Xia Zhou palace. Where did this familiar feeling come from?
___________________
Early morning.
The March wind was still cold, and the whole city was enshrouded in a thin white mist.
Ye Sui had to visit out of town and needed to go out early. She set the alarm clock before going to bed.
At six o’clock, the alarm went off. The blaring sound rang in the quiet room, making it particularly disturbing in the middle of a dream.
Her mobile phone was placed beside her bed. As soon as she heard the alarm, she subconsciously reached out her hand and turned it off. She was in a deep sleep, so she fell asleep again.Original translation is from chichipeph.com
Although the alarm clock did not wake Ye Sui up, it did wake up Chen Shu. He knew Ye Sui had to leave in the morning and did not sleep too deeply. As soon as the alarm clock rang, he woke up.
It was not too bright yet outside. The sky was pale blue, and a hazy fog was everywhere.
Chen Shu sat up in bed, turned on the small lamp beside the bed, and looked at the sleeping Ye Sui.
Ye Sui had already drifted back into the dreamland. Her whole face was buried in the quilt, looking completely undisturbed. Chen Shu couldn’t help but smile, reluctant to wake her up.
Chen Shu leaned down slightly and patted Ye Sui’s shoulder. “It’s time to get up.”
Ye Sui snorted. Without opening her eyes, she held the quilt tightly. She didn’t want to get up at all.
Chapter 115: Disaster Makeover (4)
At this time, the second alarm sounded. With closed eyes, Ye Sui was just about to reach out to turn the alarm off, but Chen Shu took the phone ahead of time.
Listening to the noisy alarm tone, Ye Sui had to open her eyes. Her whole person was dazed as she stared at Chen Shu.
Chen Shu got out of bed, went to the bathroom, soaked a towel, and squatted beside Ye Sui’s bed.
When the warm towel wiped Ye Sui’s face, she slowly woke up. Her voice was still a bit hoarse since she had just woken up.
“What time is it?”
Chen Shu glanced at the time on his mobile. “It’s still early. You can lie in bed for ten more minutes.” He had always been tolerant to Ye Sui’s demands. Ten minutes’ snooze time in bed was not a problem for him at all.
When Ye Sui was alone, she would get up from the bed no matter how sleepy she was. She did not expect that with Chen Shu, she would become lazy.
Chen Shu helped Ye Sui prepare everything, so she became more and more dependent on him.
Ye Sui rubbed her eyes in the restroom and found that Chen Shu had squeezed out the toothpaste for her. Holding the toothbrush in her mouth, she came out of the restroom.
There was still foam in Ye Sui’s mouth as she mumbled, “Next time, you… toothpaste, I do it…”
Chen Shu was so good to her. Ye Sui was worried that at the end of the day, she would not be holding her own chopsticks to eat.
If it were others, it would be impossible for anyone to understand Ye Sui’s words. However, Chen Shu immediately got her meaning, despite keeping his head down and sorting out the quilt.
“Well, next time.” Chen Shu quickly affirmed. But Ye Sui always had the feeling that he would still prepare everything for her.
Soon after she freshened up, she sat in front of the dressing mirror to put on light makeup.
Everything in Ye Sui’s room had been moved to Chen Shu’s. He did not have much in the first place, so almost the whole room was filled with her things.
Ye Sui had barely finished her makeup when Chen Shu appeared behind her. She looked at his reflection in the mirror and found his gaze on her hand.
Ye Sui held an eyebrow pencil in her hand, and she was about to draw her eyebrows.
She looked at Chen Shu’s scorching eyes. After trying to figure out his psychology, she tentatively asked, “Are you going to help me?”
The next second, Chen Shu’s eyes lit up, and he quickly sat next to Ye Sui, taking away the eyebrow pencil from her hand.
Chen Shu frowned and looked at the pencil for a long time. “How do I put it on?”
Chen Shu wanted to imitate the men who helped their wives put on makeup, but he had a hard time understanding it.
Seeing Chen Shu full of enthusiasm, Ye Sui didn’t have the heart to hit him. She demonstrated the method on one of her eyebrows and then handed him the pencil.
Just as Chen Shu was about to take it, Ye Sui immediately drew back her hand. She asked in a cautious tone, “Have you learned it yet?”
Chen Shu nodded and said confidently, “Of course.”
As a straight man of steel, Chen Shu didn’t find it difficult to draw her eyebrows. But when he actually started to do it, his own eyebrows knitted tighter and tighter.
Ye Sui was sitting sideways in front of the mirror, but the composing eyebrow was on the other side. Since she couldn’t see it, she could only judge from Chen Shu’s expression.
“Chen Shu, can you do it?”
Ye Sui’s tone had strong doubt. Chen Shu had been tossing around on her eyebrow for quite a while.
After a while, Chen Shu retracted his hand, looked at Ye Sui’s eyebrows with a solemn face, and slowly spat out two words, “It’s done.”
Ye Sui immediately looked in the mirror and saw that Chen Shu had changed her eyebrow beyond recognition. Maybe he was not satisfied with it, so he changed her eyebrow several times.
Noticing her silence, Chen Shu explained, “It might be a little thick.”
However, the explanation did not help at all. Ye Sui took a deep breath. “Just a little.”
YE Sui rushed into the bathroom with makeup remover. She had to wipe off her whole makeup. She could not go out with black caterpillars for eyebrows.
Chen Shu knew he had done something wrong. He wanted to go in and take a look but hesitated. Just as he was about to take a step, Ye Sui came out from the bathroom.
“Chen Shu, you are not allowed to mess up my face again in the future!”
Chen Shu’s hopes of getting Ye Sui’s praise were shattered.

As Wang Chuan stood in front of his boss, Chen Shu remembered something and opened his mouth. “In a few days, it will be White Day, right?”
“Yes.” Wang Chuan responded, a little stunned. He felt strange; why did President Chen mention this suddenly? Could it be that President Chen wanted to surprise Ye Sui?

As a straight man of steel, Chen Shu didn’t find it difficult to draw her eyebrows. But when he actually started to do it, his own eyebrows knitted tighter and tighter.
Ye Sui was sitting sideways in front of the mirror, but the composing eyebrow was on the other side. Since she couldn’t see it, she could only judge from Chen Shu’s expression.
“Chen Shu, can you do it?”
Ye Sui’s tone had strong doubt. Chen Shu had been tossing around on her eyebrow for quite a while.
After a while, Chen Shu retracted his hand, looked at Ye Sui’s eyebrows with a solemn face, and slowly spat out two words, “It’s done.”
Ye Sui immediately looked in the mirror and saw that Chen Shu had changed her eyebrow beyond recognition. Maybe he was not satisfied with it, so he changed her eyebrow several times.
Noticing her silence, Chen Shu explained, “It might be a little thick.”
However, the explanation did not help at all. Ye Sui took a deep breath. “Just a little.”
YE Sui rushed into the bathroom with makeup remover. She had to wipe off her whole makeup. She could not go out with black caterpillars for eyebrows.
Chen Shu knew he had done something wrong. He wanted to go in and take a look but hesitated. Just as he was about to take a step, Ye Sui came out from the bathroom.
“Chen Shu, you are not allowed to mess up my face again in the future!”
Chen Shu’s hopes of getting Ye Sui’s praise were shattered.
