Chapter 357 We are the most professional team
Li Ze looked at Li Mengli with a very happy smile on his face and said loudly, "Mengli, Dad suddenly thought of a very good idea."
Li Mengli turned her head and looked at Li Ze, asking, "Dad, what's the good idea?"
Li Ze said very directly, "Since all the world's top international masters are here, and they don't have any other work scheduled this afternoon, why don't we call your mother over too?"
Li Ze continued, "Your mother has raised you and your brother alone all these years, enduring a lot of hardship. She has never dressed herself up properly, nor has she ever bought herself any nice clothes. If these masters were to give your mother a makeover, she would definitely look absolutely stunning."
When Li Mengli heard her father's suggestion, her eyes immediately widened.
She jumped for joy. She exclaimed loudly, "Dad! That's a brilliant idea!"
Li Mengli walked to Li Ze's side, took his arm, and said, "My mom was a campus beauty when she was young. Her features are still very delicate. If these masters did her makeup, she would be absolutely stunning. I really want to see what my mom looks like with makeup on!"
Zhao Jiajia and Huo Qian, who were sitting next to him, nodded in agreement when they heard the suggestion.
Zhao Jiajia exclaimed, "Uncle, I think this is a fantastic idea! Auntie already has such a great presence. If these masters do her hair and face, she'll look like a superstar when she walks out!"
Huo Qian smiled and said, "Yes, Auntie works so hard all the time, she deserves to enjoy this kind of top-notch service."
Li Ze smiled even more broadly when he heard that everyone agreed with his idea.
He took out his phone and said very decisively, "Okay. It's settled then. I'll call your mother right now and have her come to the estate immediately."
Li Ze dialed Zhang Ruoran's number on his phone.
The phone rang three times before being answered.
Zhang Ruoran's voice came through the phone. Her tone was very calm as she asked, "Hey, Li Ze. Weren't you at the manor watching Mengli get her hair and makeup done? Are you done? What's up?"
Li Ze, holding his phone, said in a very relaxed and humorous tone, "Ruoran, that's why I'm calling you. Get ready right now and have Lao Yi send a car to pick you up and bring you to the manor."
Zhang Ruoran found it very strange on the other end of the phone. She asked, "What would I do at the manor? I don't understand any of your fashionable stuff."
Li Ze explained with a smile, "These foreign masters I hired at great expense are truly skilled. Mengli looks absolutely stunning right now. I figured since I've already paid, and they're free anyway, why don't you come over and have them give you a proper makeover? Make you look beautiful too."
When Zhang Ruoran heard Li Ze ask her to get her hair and makeup done, she was completely stunned.
Then, she repeatedly refused on the other end of the phone. She said, very embarrassed, "Don't joke around here. I'm forty years old, why would I bother with this kind of thing?"
Zhang Ruoran's tone was full of embarrassment: "Those masters do makeup for you young people and real celebrities. What am I, a middle-aged woman who works in a restaurant every day, supposed to do? I'm not going. I'm not going, absolutely not."
Li Ze had already guessed that Zhang Ruoran would say that.
He calmly continued to persuade her, "What do you mean by forty years old? In my heart, you will always be the same as you were eighteen years ago, always the youngest and most beautiful."
Li Ze then found a very legitimate reason. He said very seriously, "Besides, we're getting married in the middle of next month. You'll be my bride then. This is a very rare opportunity. Think of it as a rehearsal for our wedding. Come here and let these makeup artists try on your makeup and see if you like the looks they've designed. If you don't like them, we can always change them. You agree, right?"
When Zhang Ruoran heard the words "wedding rehearsal" on the other end of the phone, she still hesitated.
She said softly, "But... I really don't think it's necessary. Any makeup artist can do it..."
At this moment, Li Mengli walked over and snatched the phone from Li Ze's hand.
Li Mengli spoke loudly and excitedly into the phone, "Mom! Please come!"
"You were so beautiful when you were young. Your skin is even better than many young people's now. You worry about this family every day and have never spent money on yourself properly. Today, Dad has invited the most talented people in the world. Just come and try it out, just to satisfy my curiosity."
Li Mengli kept exaggerating Ruoran on the phone.
She exclaimed, "Mom, you have no idea how beautiful you are. With just a little bit of makeup, you could absolutely stun everyone. I want to see Mom looking beautiful! Please, just say yes!"
When Zhang Ruoran heard her daughter praising her like that on the other end of the phone, it was as if her daughter was a fairy descended from heaven.
She felt a little embarrassed listening to it. Her face immediately turned red.
She quickly interrupted Li Mengli, smiling helplessly, and said, "Alright, alright, stop trying to sweet-talk me. You're giving me goosebumps. Fine, I'll go. Just have Lao Yi send a car back to Beichen Garden to pick me up."
When Li Mengli heard her mother finally agree, she shouted happily, "Great! Mom, we're waiting for you here! Come quickly!"
After hanging up the phone, everyone in the lobby was very excited.
Li Ze shouted loudly to Lao Yi, who was standing outside the door, "Lao Yi, send a car to Beichen Garden right now and bring Madam to the manor. Drive carefully on the way."
The old man stood very straight and replied loudly, "Understood, boss. I'll arrange it right away."
The old man turned around and went out to run errands.
Li Mengli, Zhao Jiajia, and Huo Qian sat on the sofa. They ate fruit from the coffee table and chatted eagerly.
Li Mengli said happily, "I really can't wait to see what my mom will look like with makeup on. I've never seen my mom wear makeup properly before. She usually just applies some moisturizer."
Li Ze sat beside him, continuing to fiddle with the string of beads in his hands.
He was also very, very excited.
He recalled eighteen years ago. Back then, Zhang Ruoran was so beautiful and had a great personality, which was why he liked her so much.
Over the past eighteen years, Zhang Ruoran has endured hardships that most people cannot imagine. She has neither the time nor the money to dress herself up.
However, her bone structure is perfect, and her facial features are still very delicate.
Li Ze believed that if these top masters were to work on it even slightly, it would definitely be absolutely stunning.
About an hour later.
The very heavy doors of the hall were pushed open.
Zhang Ruoran walked in from outside.
She was dressed very, very simply today.
She wore a very ordinary old gray sweater and plain black trousers. On her feet were very ordinary flat shoes.
Her hair was simply clipped back with a black clip. She wore no makeup at all; it was a completely natural, bare face.
Zhang Ruoran walked in. She saw that there were so many foreigners standing in this very spacious hall.
She also saw that the hall was filled with all kinds of very professional lights, makeup mirrors, and a long row of clothes.
She felt extremely uncomfortable. Her hands were clenched tightly together, and she didn't know where to put them.
Zhang Ruoran walked over to Li Ze. Looking at him, she said in a very soft voice, "This is too much! Looking at all these foreigners in the room, I'm getting a little nervous. Maybe I shouldn't do it."
Li Ze stood up and grabbed Zhang Ruoran's hand.
His smile was very reassuring. He said casually, "What's there to panic about? They're all working for me. You're their boss. Just sit down and leave the rest to them."
At that moment, the bespectacled Hollywood foreign makeup artist saw Zhang Ruoran.
Her eyes lit up immediately. She strode over.
Another French hairstylist dressed in black followed them over.
The two of them circled Zhang Ruoran. They looked very carefully at Zhang Ruoran's face and her figure.
The makeup artist spoke loudly and excitedly in English.
The translator next to her quickly and loudly translated the makeup artist's words into Chinese.
"Madam, your temperament is truly very, very special."
"Although you are not wearing makeup and your clothes are very ordinary, your features are very well-proportioned. Your eyes have a very story-telling and composed quality. Your back is very straight."
The makeup artist continued speaking excitedly, and the translator continued translating:
"This kind of inner strength and gentleness is very rare. It's a unique quality that comes with the passage of time. I can assure you, after I finish styling you, you will look absolutely stunning. You'll be more charming than many international celebrities."
Zhang Ruoran heard these words from the translator.
Her face immediately turned red all the way to the roots of her neck.
She felt that these foreigners were exaggerating.
She waved her hand apologetically and said, "Thank you. You're too kind. I'm just an ordinary middle-aged woman working in a restaurant. I'm nothing like what you're saying."
Li Ze took Zhang Ruoran's hand and helped her sit down in the largest and most central dressing chair.
Li Ze loudly addressed the masters, "Alright, the people are seated. Now start working. Show me all your true skills."
The masters immediately gathered around. Hairstylists, makeup artists, and fashion designers began a lively discussion in English.
Zhang Ruoran sat in the chair, feeling extremely uneasy.
She looked at herself in the large mirror in front of her, and then at the foreigners next to her holding all sorts of strange tools.
She said to the makeup artist, "Um... when you're doing my makeup, could you please not make it too heavy?"
Zhang Ruoran's tone was full of worry as she continued, "I'm already forty years old. If you make me look like a young girl with all those bright red and green makeup, people will laugh at me when I go out. I'm afraid I'm really not suited to that kind of exaggerated style."
The makeup artist listened to the translator's words. She smiled very gently.
The makeup artist placed her hand on Zhang Ruoran's shoulder and patiently reassured her, "Madam, you don't need to worry at all. We are the most professional team. We will absolutely not give you makeup that is inappropriate for your age."
"We will design a very mature, elegant, and sophisticated look for you based on your unique temperament. We will showcase all your strengths while building upon your existing features. Just close your eyes and rest for a while. When you open your eyes again, you will definitely see a very beautiful version of yourself."
Zhang Ruoran listened to these very reassuring words.
She felt a little more at ease.
She nodded and closed her eyes, letting the masters begin their work on her face and hair.
Li Ze, Li Mengli, Zhao Jiajia, and Huo Qian.
All four of them stood to the side.
They stared intently, not blinking.
Everyone is very, very excited.
They all wanted to know what would happen when Zhang Ruoran opened her eyes again and changed into her new clothes.
What kind of stunning scene will it be?
