Chapter 40: The Non-Mainstream of Urban and Rural Integration

  The next day, Wu Tian was late again. However, today he wasn't blocked by Chen Chen on the road. He deliberately waited until Chen Chen went out to work before getting up, then sneaked into Chen Chen's bedroom and "borrowed" some good things from her dresser and closet, before carrying a big bag to go to work.

  "Wu Tian, you're late again!" Wang Zhi Gao shouted from the corridor as Wu Tian swayed into the company, "Did a client call him again today?"

  Wu Tian looked surprised and asked Wang Zhi Gao, "How did you know? It's really a coincidence. Today, on my way here, that client from yesterday called me again and insisted that I go. I said no, company rules require punching in first. He said if I don't go, he'll kill himself, it's a matter of life and death! I thought, if I don't go and he really dies, whose fault would it be? Yours? I couldn't let you, Wang Zhi Gao, take that responsibility, so I went." Wu Tian found his ability to talk nonsense was getting stronger and stronger. No matter whether others believed him or not, as long as he opened his mouth, the words flowed out endlessly.

  Wang Zhi Gao's face turned iron-green. Although the people in the business department were all skilled at fabricating stories, it was the first time he had heard someone like Wu Tian who could lie with his eyes open and make up such an absurd story. Others would cheat him, but they would still be mindful that he was the head of the business department and feel guilty in their hearts. But when Wu Tian cheated him, he did so with a clear conscience and a sense of righteousness, as if Wang Zhi Gao was the one who was wrong. Yesterday's grudge had not been avenged, and today he came up with another trick. How could Wang Zhi Gao not be angry?

  "Who can prove it? Don't tell me, it's Director Chen again." Wang Zhi Gao said coldly with a gloomy face, "Let me tell you, I've been standing outside the company gate all day waiting for Director Chen. I saw that Director Chen drove here himself and didn't speak to anyone along the way."

  "It's not Director Chen today, it's Manager Fang. If you don't believe me, you can go ask her." Wu Tian pulled out Fang Hua as a shield.

  Wang Zhi Gao thought Wu Tian would have nothing to say, but unexpectedly he brought up Fang Hua today. Who in the marketing department doesn't know about Fang Hua and Wu Tian's relationship? Even if he went to ask, it would be a waste of time. Wang Zhi Gao was so angry with Wu Tian that his teeth were clenched tightly. Twice late, twice opportunities, not only did he fail to make things difficult for the other party, but also lost face in front of his subordinates, and his teeth were almost crushed by his own biting.

  "No matter what, you're late and that's a fact! The fine is inevitable!" Wang Zhi Gao said, he was at his wit's end and could only resort to the most primitive method - deducting money, to vent his frustration.

  "Get out, get out, just shooing away a beggar." Wu Tian said nonchalantly, ignoring the other person and walking directly to his own office desk.

  Looking at Wu Tian's arrogant back, Zhang Zhi Gao clenched his fists tightly. At this time, he saw that many employees in the office were secretly looking at him, and he became even angrier in his heart.

  "What are you looking at? Hurry up and work. If you keep staring, your bonuses will be deducted completely!" After saying that, he turned around and went back to his office, slamming the door shut!

  "Bang!"

  Wu Tianlai's arrival wasn't late, he was only half an hour behind schedule, it just so happened to be nine o'clock, after all, he had something important to attend to today and couldn't afford to waste time like yesterday eating breakfast and watching the ball game.

  "Are you all set?" Wu Tian asked An Qing who was sitting in her seat.

  An Qing nodded and patted the package in her hand, saying to Wu Tian, "Everything is ready."

  "Let's go!"

  Wu Tian's butt didn't even touch the chair, and he walked out. And An Qing, as his master, now seemed like Wu Tian's follower, carrying a briefcase, closely following behind Wu Tian.

  "Wu Tian, where are you going again!" Zhang Zhi Gao's roar came from inside the office.

  "Talk business!"

  This is the nature of work in business groups, where you can leave the company at any time under the pretext of 'talking business', and no one will object. Even if everyone knows that this person is going home to sleep, no one can do anything about it.

  Wu Tian and An Qing came to the food store again yesterday, still ten or so minutes away from the agreed 10 o'clock. Wu Tian bought two bottles of soda water and sat down with An Qing to wait slowly.

  At 9:55, Xiao Lan appeared. She wore the professional suit, silk stockings and black high heels as Wu Tian instructed yesterday. But the makeup on her face was really speechless, the fiery red lips were nothing, but she also had smoky eyes, her hair was blown up like being struck by lightning, it seemed like there would be a few wisps of smoke coming out from the top of her head.

  Xiao Lan herself seemed to have not felt the discord, learning from the models on TV, she walked towards Wu Tian with a catwalk, her hips swaying back and forth, without feeling tired of her waist.

  "How's it? Does it look good?" Xiao Lan turned around in front of Wu Tian, struck a pose and batted her eyelashes at him repeatedly.

  This set of movements was extremely familiar to Wu Tian, and Fang Hua would often do it in front of him. But now that the same actions were being performed by Xiao Lan, they felt somehow awkward?

  Even dressed in dragon robes, he doesn't look like a prince.

  "What's with that getup of yours? You don't look like a human, nor do you look like a ghost." Wu Tian said in an ill-tempered tone.

  "Smoky eyes, don't you think they're good?" Xiao Lan looked at Wu Tian and asked, while taking out a small mirror from her pocket, admiring herself as she spoke. "I learned this from a magazine last night, I think it's pretty nice. Little sister, what do you think?" As she spoke, Xiao Lan turned to look at An Qing.

  "En!" An Qing nodded, she had never had her own opinions, whatever others said was what it was, and she never offended anyone.

  "I let you dress up properly, didn't let you make yourself look like a non-mainstream person. Look at yourself, below the neck is city, above the neck is countryside, it's a complete rural-urban fringe coming out. What a waste of this set of clothes." Wu Tian glanced at his watch and then said to Xiao Lan, "Let's go, go to your place, I'll redo your makeup."

  "Huh? Redo it? I spent over an hour on this, can't we discuss it?"

  "Give me the money."

  "I'm listening." Xiao Lan obediently led the way in front, took out her phone from her pocket, and took a few selfies, which also served as a keepsake.

  Three people came to a nearby residential area, an old-fashioned residential building that should have been around for twenty years. They walked up the stairs to the fifth floor, and Xiao Lan took out the key to open the door and went in.

  "This is a two-bedroom one-living room apartment, I'm sharing it with a female roommate, she just fell asleep, go to my room."

  Xiao Lan's room is not big, but it is very clean and tidy, just like an ordinary girl, with a lovely pink tone as the main color, and the air is filled with a faint scent of orchids.

  "Go wash your face and hair clean." Wu Tian said to Xiao Lan, then took out a makeup box from his own big bag.

  "Wow, these are all foreign characters. Could it be a fake?" Xianglan said as she looked at the makeup box, suddenly her eyes lit up and she snatched a bottle of perfume from Wu Tian's hand, exclaiming, "I recognize this! I saw it in a magazine before, it's called Chanel, right? This small bottle costs over a thousand yuan!"

  "If you behave well, I can give it to you!" Wu Tian said.

  "Really, it's too good!" After hearing that, Xiaolan was like a little kid, jumping up and down excitedly, cheering.

  "Still not going to wash your face?" Wu Tian roared at his opponent.

  "Yes, yes, I'll go right away!" Xiao Lan nodded repeatedly and turned to leave the room.

  Wu Tian turned the bag upside down on the bed and poured out all the contents. In addition to various world-famous cosmetics, there were also brooches, hairpins, earrings, necklaces, and other decorative items. These were all "borrowed" from Chen Chen's room. He didn't want to do this either, but in order to reduce costs, he had no choice. As long as he put them back in their original place before Chen Chen returned home at night, it would be fine.

  After waiting for over ten minutes, Xiaolan walked in from outside, wiping her hair with a towel, and she was only wrapped in a white bath towel.

  Wu Tian and An Qing were both stunned after seeing her, without the cover of those cosmetics, Xiao Lan looked much better than before, with a clear and elegant appearance, her eyes shining brightly, and with her fiery figure, she looked like a completely different person.

  Makeup is very important, some people know how to apply makeup and can make themselves look more beautiful, while others don't know how to apply makeup and can only make themselves look ugly. Just like Xiaolan, her makeup looks like a ghost or a monster, one glance and you can tell she's a woman of the streets, losing all sense of taste.

  "Who made you take a bath?" Wu Tian asked with furrowed eyebrows.

  "Isn't it time to put on that perfume? Of course, I need to take a bath first." Little Orchid said after hearing this, then sat down in front of the dresser.

  Wu Tianyi listened and nodded in agreement, so she didn't say anything else. She picked up the makeup products and started doing Xiaolan's makeup.

  Wu Tian had never studied makeup, but he had been in contact with many women, so he also had some understanding of makeup. Moreover, he was a student of medicinal chemistry, and the essence of cosmetics also belonged to chemical drugs. As the saying goes, "one thread runs through all", so he was very clear about the effects of various cosmetics. Some even only needed to take a glance at the ingredients to know their uses. Now let's see how he transformed Xiao Lan, this non-mainstream woman from the city and countryside combined area into an urban beauty.

  Turning decay into magic? This is Wu Tian's specialty!
