Chapter 115 Top Stylist
Looking at Su Rui’s appearance, Lin Aoxue nodded. She hadn’t been nervous from the beginning. If anyone dared to target her, they would need to be prepared to face Bikang’s most fierce retaliation.
“Go back and get ready. I’ll send you the list of attendees right away. Bikang is a vice-chairman unit, so we have this level of authority,” Lin Aoxue said.
“Good, I’m really looking forward to attending the banquet with you.” After Su Rui finished speaking, he walked out carrying that exquisite teacup. Seeing this, Lin Aoxue couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows.
This bastard actually took the cup! That was something she had found at a folk artist’s stall in the Americas, probably the only one of its kind in the whole world!
Lin Aoxue looked at the now-closed door, then pulled open the drawer to see the half-bag of dried Mosby flowers lying quietly inside.
Meanwhile, Su Rui returned to his seat and carefully examined the teacup. It was a very beautiful and delicate cup with patterns that carried some American style.
Su Rui leaned back in his seat and took a small sip of the now completely cold Mosby flower tea. A refreshing sensation gradually spread throughout his body.
Regarding this banquet, Su Rui had already heard about it from Qin Ranlong. In fact, this annual industry gathering had gradually expanded beyond the top 100 companies. Many people wanting to enter the pharmaceutical field would pull strings and make efforts to get an invitation.
Looking at the invitation card tucked in the attendee list, Su Rui couldn’t help but smile with amusement because what caught his eye was a small line of English—NaradaKempin-Hotels, which was the venue for this conference and the English name of the Narada Kempin Hotel.
Thinking about Narada Kempin, Su Rui’s mind automatically conjured up the image of Qin Yuran’s eye-catching long legs.
After work at noon the next day, Su Rui left with Lin Aoxue under the envious gazes of countless people. They were going to a famous styling studio in Ninghai. Rumor had it that the owner of this studio had extensive connections, only served high-end clients, and had an excellent reputation. Many celebrities coming to Ninghai would rather forgo their own makeup artists and visit this studio for styling.
Although Lin Aoxue was naturally beautiful and already extremely gorgeous without makeup, for such important occasions, she needed to look more formal. She didn’t have her own makeup artist, so whenever she needed makeup, she would go to this studio.
Lin Aoxue’s car drove for more than an hour before arriving at a quiet alley. In today’s rapidly changing and infinitely prosperous Ninghai, finding such an alley paved with bluestone slabs was quite rare, as most lanes had been replaced by towering buildings.
What was most remarkable was the building at the end of the alley.
A four-story building made of blue bricks, with its outer walls covered in ivy, looking lush and exuding an antique charm.
After the car stopped, Su Rui’s eyes never left the building, with an indecipherable look in his gaze.
“This small building must be from at least the Republican era,” Su Rui smiled. “Such a building could be considered a cultural relic, easily worth several hundred million. Someone is actually using it as a styling studio, which shows how wealthy they must be.”
Lin Aoxue neither confirmed nor denied, remaining silent, which was as good as agreeing with Su Rui’s words.
However, to run a top-tier styling studio and attract the most prestigious clients, how could one not have an impressive workplace?
Lin Aoxue was a regular here and had made a phone appointment in advance. As soon as she walked into the courtyard, a beautiful woman wearing a low-cut, tight white shirt came out to greet them.
“Aoxue, I didn’t expect you to arrive so quickly!”
Su Rui looked at her, then at Lin Aoxue, feeling as if he was being illuminated by two suns simultaneously!
The shirt sleeves were rolled up to her elbows, revealing snow-white forearms that looked like lotus roots, giving her a rather capable appearance. The top two buttons of her shirt were undone, revealing a glimpse of cleavage and a bit of the snow-white slopes.
Just from the curve of those slopes, one could judge that if one were to climb to the peaks, these two mountains would be magnificent indeed.
They say men should have broad minds, but shouldn’t women as well?
Isn’t there a saying? What’s more vast than the sea is the sky, and what’s more vast than the sky is a woman’s bosom—that’s how it should be said, right?
Why did Su Rui have such thoughts? Because from the moment he first saw this beautiful woman, he began to focus his gaze on her ultimate chest—and couldn’t look away.
In this era of rampant fake breasts, Su Rui had a special ability to clearly determine whether a woman’s chest contained fillers. Obviously, judging from the bouncing degree of certain parts of this beautiful woman, she clearly had real breasts that couldn’t be more authentic, and they could be described as overwhelmingly magnificent.
What does overwhelming mean? Two shapely, elastic white rabbits jumping and swaying before your eyes—how could they not be eye-catching?
From the bouncing arc of the mountains, Su Rui clearly saw that this woman wasn’t wearing a bra—at most she had applied two breast tapes to prevent nipple protrusion.
For those bold female celebrities abroad, this might be a relatively normal thing, like America’s former music queen Britney Spears, who was even caught by paparazzi not wearing underwear when out on the street!
But that’s abroad, right? How could domestic celebrities be so bold?
However, this well-developed beautiful woman before him indeed wasn’t wearing a bra.
The white shirt became slightly translucent in the sunlight, and Su Rui’s sharp eyes could clearly perceive that extraordinary curve. Yes, it was truly extraordinary.
The shirt was already tight-fitting and was tucked into a tight skirt that hugged her buttocks, making her entire body appear even more clearly outlined by the tight clothes!
This beautiful woman immediately took Lin Aoxue’s hand, and the latter surprisingly didn’t let go, showing a rare smile on her face: “Senior.”
“Aoxue, who is this?” The beautiful woman looked at Su Rui, a flash of surprise passing through her eyes.
Of course, this surprised expression was quite normal at this moment, because Lin Aoxue hadn’t mentioned beforehand that she would bring a man.
“Su Rui, he’s attending the banquet with me today,” Lin Aoxue introduced briefly. “Su Rui, this is Chi Yan, also the owner of this styling studio.”
“Beautiful women are always so capable, and with such a unique name too,” Su Rui said with a smile as his eyes swept across the face of this beautiful woman called Chi Yan.
“Hello, I’m Su Chiyan.”
The beautiful woman Su Chiyan extended her hand, the surprise in her eyes now gone, and said with a smile, “What a coincidence, we both have the surname Su.”
“If you’re willing to use our shared surname as a way to get close, I don’t mind,” Su Rui laughed heartily. “Beautiful women always have special privileges.”
Su Rui’s compliment about her beauty wasn’t offensive at all; on the contrary, it sounded natural and pleasant.
Hearing this, Su Chiyan also smiled. This woman’s smile was very infectious, making one’s heart skip a beat upon seeing it.
“Come on, follow me quickly.”
Su Chiyan didn’t seriously inquire about Su Rui’s true identity or the exact nature of his relationship with Lin Aoxue. She and Lin Aoxue were friends of many years; since Lin hadn’t explained, Su Chiyan wouldn’t ask.
Su Rui looked at the luxury cars parked in the courtyard and the drivers waiting beside them, and said familiarly, “Miss Chiyan, you must make quite a lot of money here every year.”
Perhaps Su Rui didn’t realize that he was the first person to ask such a question here.
As a top styling studio that only served high-end clients, Su Chiyan’s annual income was naturally substantial. However, the people who came here were either wealthy or noble, and money was the most common thing to them. No one would ask such a question—it would make them seem too cheap.
But Su Rui was different; he naturally asked this question—for him, economic income was always a topic of interest.
Su Chiyan gave him a surprised look, brushed her wavy hair with her hand, and said, “It’s okay. Although it can’t compare to you wealthy young masters, it’s barely enough to maintain my lifestyle.”
Su Rui said, “Do I look like a wealthy young master?”
Su Chiyan smiled slightly, blinked, and exuded a charming aura: “Of course.”
“You’re overthinking it. I’m just Lin Aoxue’s bodyguard.” Su Rui nudged Lin Aoxue’s arm with his elbow. “Isn’t that right?”
Being nudged like this by Su Rui made Lin Aoxue feel uncomfortable, and she quickly stepped aside.
“How is that possible? I’ve met all of Aoxue’s bodyguards, but I’ve never seen you.” Su Chiyan certainly wouldn’t believe it. Su Rui’s physique and demeanor were both extraordinary, except for the occasional hint of unorthodox “roguishness” in his eyes. How could such a person be a bodyguard?
Besides, which bodyguard in the world would address their employer by their first name?
“I knew you wouldn’t believe me. Aoxue, isn’t that right?”
Lin Aoxue nodded.
Su Chiyan was slightly surprised. Clearly, Lin Aoxue’s attitude confirmed everything—this Su Rui was indeed Lin Aoxue’s bodyguard!
But how could a bodyguard be brought by Lin Aoxue into her styling studio? And how could she be attending the annual industry banquet with him this afternoon?
Su Chiyan wasn’t a gossipy person, so she didn’t ask too many questions.
This studio’s business was truly excellent, with clients valued for quality rather than quantity. Each room had people getting makeup and styling done, and if one looked carefully, one might even spot a few celebrities who frequently appeared on television.
Su Chiyan led the two to a luxuriously decorated private room on the top floor. Obviously, as Lin Aoxue’s senior, she was going to personally handle this.
“Su Rui, wait on the side for a moment. After I finish Aoxue’s makeup, I’ll do yours,” Su Chiyan said as she had already started working. As a top stylist in the industry, her styling techniques had reached a state of perfection. She could create various styles tailored to different individuals with ease, which was truly impressive.
