211 Inspiration
Of course, Qu Zhi knew that this was still thousands of miles away from the so-called ‘perfect’.
She felt that the models had to put more effort into their makeup. Otherwise, it would look too glamorous. The focus would be on the face, which would make it uncomfortable and not match the theme. However, after the makeup artist made several changes, Qu Zhi either felt that the makeup was too thick or that the clothes were too exaggerated.
Moreover, the way the scarf was tied was too monotonous, and it felt a little perfunctory.
Deng Dong was a little excited at this moment. She gently pulled a girl over. “Would you give me a try?”
Deng Dong wasn’t confident either. She hadn’t put on heavy makeup for a long time, but when she saw Qu Zhi’s helpless expression, she picked up the brush.
In terms of aesthetics, no one knew Qu Zhi better than Deng Dong.
Deng Dong carefully wiped off the eye shadow on the model’s face and changed it to a light pink color. Then she lightened her thick eyebrows and lowered her eyeliner. In this way, her fierce power was suddenly reduced, and she looked like a young ignorant woman. However, her eyes were bright and clear, and she was not as flirtatious as a willow in the wind.
“Come, take a look?” Deng Dong was still a little uncertain. She hadn’t put on heavy makeup for a long time, so her lines weren’t smooth, but it looked like professional from a distance.
Qu Zhi was still discussing with the makeup artist, and she used almost all the possible communication methods, using paper and pen. Now, when she saw the model that Deng Dong pushed over, her frowning brows relaxed.
“Just like this.” Qu Zhi walked over and patted the model’s shoulder. “Follow this.���
A weight was lifted off her chest.
After a busy day, Qu Zhi felt her mouth and tongue go dry.
As soon as they entered the house, Aunt Hui handed a cup of soy milk to them. “You’ve been too tired recently, so I put some red dates in it for you to nourish your body.”
Of course, Chuchu basked in her mother’s glory. She happily ran into her mother’s arms to take credit. “Mommy, I’ve tried it for you. This is really good.”
Sisi agreed, her eyes narrowing into a line. “It’s good, good.”
Qu Zhi smiled indulgently and took a sip, feeling her mouth watery.
However, she had not finished her work at the exhibition yet, so she had something on her mind. She brought up the design and sat down at the coffee table, thinking about how to tie the scarf to look good.
She sat there until late at night.
Seeing how serious Qu Zhi was, Liang Wen knew his wife had something on her mind, so he went to bed after a few words of advice.
Qu Zhi was a little sleepy, but she only dozed off with her hand on her cheek.
Aunt Hui couldn’t stand it anymore. It wasn’t a good habit to stay up all night just after starting work. What if it hurt her body?
She gently covered Qu Zhi with a blanket and sat down beside her. “Is there anything I can help you with?”
It was just like how Aunt Hui would ask Chuchu this question when she encountered a problem with her handicraft.
Qu Zhi’s heart relaxed and she felt warm, so she told Aunt Hui all her problems.
Aunt Hui smiled and winked at Qu Zhi. “You’ve been thinking about this until now?”
Qu Zhi nodded sleepily.
“Are you stupid? How did you come up with this?” Aunt Hui smiled as she scratched Qu Zhi’s nose. “Why don’t we just go to the mall tomorrow and ask the people who sell scarves?”
Qu Zhi’s eyes widened!
She was not sleepy at all.
Why didn’t she think of this earlier? Art comes from life!
How could she not know how to put on a scarf if she was selling one? Sometimes, customers might not be interested in fancy scarves, but a scarf could be used not only as a scarf, but also as a shawl and a coat. Qu Zhi had seen this before, but her knowledge was really limited, so she didn’t think of it at once.
Qu Zhi held Aunt Hui’s hand tightly in excitement. “You’ve been a great help to me!”
The next day, Qu Zhi dragged Aunt Hui to the shopping mall, asking as she jotted down notes. Soon, her notebook was full of drawings.
Chuchu was also curious. She looked up and asked aunt Hui, “What is Mommy doing? Is she in class?”
Aunt Hui touched her little face. “Mommy is noting down her inspiration.”
After walking around, Qu Zhi had gained a lot. She had never felt there were so many ways to tie a silk scarf, and really admired these folk experts.
At this time, she saw a pink cheongsam in the children’s clothing window, and a novel idea came to her mind.
Qu Zhi smiled and nudged Chuchu and Sisi. “The two of you can go and try it out. When the time comes, you can go to the runaway show with our models.” With two children on stage, the entire show field looked even cuter.
“A runway show?” Chuchu didn’t understand what that was.
Sisi followed her sister’s example and tilted her head. “Show?”
