For the first time, Jian Yan didn't work throughout the whole evening but chatted and joked with everyone in the group instead. Nan Si seemed to be really busy with work and left after chatting for a while. When it was a little past ten o'clock, the screenwriter finally showed up and greeted Jian Yan excitedly: "Ahhhhh, Ms. Tangzhi!! I'm the screenwriter of the audiobook of 'Shang Ke', Tangyuan!"
Tangyuan: I really like you, Ms. Tangzhi. I'm so happy to be the screenwriter for 'Shang Ke' this time!
Majiang: Are you so happy that you'll do it for free? →_→
Tangzhi: 23333
Tangyuan: I'll work hard on the script, Ms. Tangzhi! The first episode is already written, and I'll send it to your email!
Majiang: Wait a minute, shouldn't you send it to my email first? ^_^
However, Tangyuan ignored her.
Jian Yan quickly received the script sent by Tangyuan. Since one episode, including the theme song, was only twenty minutes long, the script was also very short, covering only the content of the first three chapters of the comic. When adapting the comic into a script, there would definitely be some changes. After communicating with the screenwriter, Jian Yan turned off the computer and went to bed.
The next day, she was on the evening shift and didn't arrive at work until half past three in the afternoon. After waking up, she did some exercises and then started making breakfast. Sitting in the dining room and drinking hot milk, she subconsciously took out her phone and checked the QQ messages.
The people in the production team group got up quite early. Jiang Jiang and Wang Si had already been chatting for a while. Since Jian Yan was already online, she greeted them: "Good morning ^_^"
Jiang Jiang: Good morning, Ms. Tangzhi!
Wang Si: You got up really early, Ms. Tangzhi.
Tangzhi: You got up even earlier, 2333
Jiang Jiang: Ms. Tangzhi, Ms. Tangzhi, I'm about to go out to work. Could you please teach me some skills for dressing up?
Tangzhi: Actually, there's no special skill. The main thing is to be good-looking. For the same piece of clothing, it may look beautiful on others, but it might make you look like an aunt on you.
Wang Si: Hahahahahahahahaha
Jiang Jiang: … I've learned my lesson.
Nan Si: Haha, the author is so funny, 233
Jian Yan was taken aback. Damn, was Nan Si also in the group so early in the morning?
She put down the milk in her hand and continued typing in the dialog box: "I'm serious. For example, leopard print is a very fashionable and popular element, but not everyone can pull it off. If your temperament or the way you match it is not suitable, wearing leopard print forcefully will look very strange. So I think when it comes to dressing, we can't just blindly pursue fashion and trends. What suits us is the best."
After typing, she read it again herself. Hmm, there were no typos, and it seemed quite professional.
She sent the message.
Nan Si: Hmm, I think so too.
Jiang Jiang: Then could you recommend some safer items, Ms. Tangzhi? [pitiful face]
Tangzhi: There are actually quite a lot of classic items for autumn and winter. For example, the Chesterfield coat, with its classic style, is not easy to go wrong no matter how you match it, and it will never go out of style. The same goes for the white knitted sweater, which is classic, versatile, and suitable for everyone. If you don't want to wear white, you can also try red. The bright color is very fashionable.
Jiang Jiang: Mmm, I've already written it down in my little notebook!
Wang Si: Did you write down the most important sentence? The main thing is to be good-looking.
Jiang Jiang: Bye then!
Nan Si: Ms. Tangzhi, you majored in fashion design, right?
Tangzhi: Yes. Why do you ask?
Nan Si: Nothing. I just happened to meet someone who majors in fashion design recently, and that person is quite interesting.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
Jiang Jiang: Eek! Is that person male or female?
Wang Si: You're so silly. It must be a female. So you still don't understand men ╮(╯_╰)╭
Jiang Jiang: qaq Is it really true, my male god?
Nan Si: :)
Jian Yan tilted her head. A fashion designer? He also said that his job was related to clothes before. What could it be? A model? An editor of a fashion magazine? A buyer??
Before Jian Yan could figure it out, the planner Majiang jumped out again: "Everyone is here. Later, I'll add Mr. An Ning to the group. He is mainly in charge of the music in the drama, and he also wrote the theme song!"
Tangzhi: OK
Majiang: Right, while everyone is here, I want to say that in a few days, the platform will announce the news about the audiobook and mention everyone on Weibo. Remember to repost it and cooperate then~~
Jiang Jiang: Definitely! This is my first cooperation with my male god!
Wang Si: No problem.
Nan Si: OK
Tangzhi: I'm okay with that too.
Majiang: ^_^
After that, the group finally quieted down, and Jian Yan went back to work in peace. Worried that she would lose her touch if she didn't draw for too long, she planned to use this time to draw an illustration of "Shang Ke". She could practice her drawing skills and also post it on Weibo as a treat for everyone.
Once she started drawing, she would throw herself into it wholeheartedly and even forgot to have lunch. In the end, it was Lin Zhen's call that pulled her back from her drawing. Jian Yan looked at the time and was slightly surprised: "It's already this time..."
Fortunately, Lin Zhen called her, otherwise she might have forgotten to go to work in the afternoon.
"Ms. Lin, what's the matter? I'm about to go to work," Jian Yan said, thinking that she should set an alarm for herself.
Lin Zhen's voice sounded a bit different from usual, as if she had encountered something important: "Jian Yanyan! My mom found another blind date candidate for me and asked me to go on a blind date on Saturday!"
"… Oh."
"Oh? Is that all you have to say?"
"Yeah, I feel sorry for your situation, but if you really don't want to go, you don't have to."
Lin Zhen said: "I have no choice. I'm already thirty! If I don't get married soon, my mom will think I'm a psychopath! Next time, she won't just introduce a blind date to me but will directly send me to a mental hospital!"
Jian Yan twitched the corner of her mouth: "It can't be that serious..."
"Of course it is. Sigh, you're so lucky! You're only two or three years younger than me, and your mom doesn't force you to go on blind dates at all!"
Jian Yan's eyes darkened, and she said: "Because she knows better than anyone else how much harm an unhappy marriage can bring to oneself and one's family."
Lin Zhen realized that she had brought up a sensitive topic and quickly shifted the conversation back to herself: "Those matchmakers are the same. Once they hear that I'm thirty, they all introduce men with not-so-good conditions. There were even several divorced men with children! Hehe!"
Lin Zhen had been as busy with work as herself in recent years and hadn't had a boyfriend at all. Asking her to be a stepmother as soon as she got married was indeed a bit too much: "What about this one?"
"This one hasn't been married before. According to the matchmaker, he's very honest and reliable."
Jian Yan said: "Usually, when a man is really unremarkable, they'll say he's honest and reliable."
Lin Zhen: "…"
"I won't talk to you anymore. I have to get ready for work. Good luck to you."
After saying that, Jian Yan hung up the phone. She let out a sigh and got up to change clothes in the bedroom. She went to Xingguang Department Store without having time to eat. Fortunately, the first dinner time for employees in the mall was half past five. Jian Yan endured for two hours and then rushed to the cafeteria.
There were promotional activities in the mall these days, and there were a lot of people in the evening. Jian Yan quickly finished her dinner and rushed back to the sales area. She was kept busy until the mall was about to close and the number of customers gradually decreased. Jian Yan massaged her calves and frowned slightly.
Standing in high heels for a whole day was not to mention tiring, and now she was really worried that her calves would get thicker...
"Stand up straight. Manager He will be here for the inspection soon," the team leader called out to everyone to tidy up their clothes and stand at their posts, getting ready for the leader's inspection.
Jian Yan had worked on two or three evening shifts here, but she hadn't encountered Manager He's inspection yet. She looked at the excited expressions of her female colleagues around her, tidied up her clothes and hair, and stood upright in front of the counter.
He Xiu arrived with the supervisors of each floor after a while. When passing by the Dream Wardrobe, he glanced at Jian Yan standing there and walked towards her.
He Xiu stopped two steps away from her, which made Jian Yan heave a slight sigh of relief. He looked at her for a while and asked, "You've been here for a week, right? Are you getting used to the work?"
"It's okay," Jian Yan replied stiffly.
"Are your feet tired?"
"… A little."
"Then don't wear such high heels next time."
"I mainly wear them to match my clothes."
He Xiu smiled at her: "I believe you can find more comfortable shoes to match your clothes."
After He Xiu finished speaking, he left. Although Jian Yan didn't understand the meaning of this 莫名其妙的 conversation he had with her, fortunately... she didn't suddenly lose her composure and just focus on listening to his voice, forgetting to answer his questions.
After the mall closed, the employees did some final work and then punched out and left work in twos and threes. When Jian Yan got home, it was already ten forty. She fell onto the soft big bed and finally seriously thought about the conversation she had with He Xiu today.
"Could it be that he thinks I didn't stand straight enough??" Jian Yan clicked her tongue. Well, considering how nice his voice was, she decided to forgive his nitpicking.
She took out her phone, logged into QQ, and checked. There were quite a few new messages in the production team group, but she didn't see any from Nan Si even after reading through the chat records.
Wait... Jian Yan couldn't help frowning. Why did she have a guilty feeling as if she was two-timing??
