Chapter 6 Russian Models
Chapter 6 Russian Models
The sun was shining brightly this morning.
In such a good mood, even the air seemed fresher, and I even felt like some passersby were turning around to look at me, though I wasn't sure if it was just my imagination.
Chen Jiang shook his head, glanced back at the barbershop behind him, gently stroked his head with one hand, and sighed:
"This woman is really skilled; she tricked me into spending money without me even realizing it."
But it was mainly the other person's hairdressing skills that won him over. Chen Jiang felt that he would probably come back in the future, and he really didn't need the money now, so he casually recharged two thousand yuan.
Actually, this money can be considered the cost of the haircut. What's more, he also brought a set of skincare products, which looked quite exquisite. Even if they weren't as expensive as he claimed, they should still be valuable.
He took out his phone and glanced at it. Before getting a haircut, he had sent a message to Zhang Jie, asking when he could come. Zhang Jie replied "anywhere" and added a map location.
After replying with "Coming soon," Chen Jiang got into his car and prepared to go directly there.
However, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but this car, which I've driven for two years and has always been quite comfortable, has become a little uncomfortable since I got in today.
He can only attribute it to a change in his mindset:
"Only by restraining one's desires can one handle these unexpected fortunes with composure."
"This money is my capital for a stable life for the rest of my life. If I really want to change cars, there's no rush. I'll wait until I have more money!"
Shaking his head to clear his mind of these jumbled thoughts, he started the car and quickly disappeared down the street.
......
Zhang Jiefa's location is an office building on the outskirts of the city center, called Qingju Building.
Chen Jiang had heard him mention it before, but this was his first time here, and he had to use his phone's navigation to find the place.
After taking the elevator and pressing the button for the sixteenth floor, Chen Jiang arrived at the territory of Zhang Jie's wife, Xu Ruirui, at a company called Jierui International Models.
As expected of a modeling agency, the receptionist was a very beautiful, tall, and stylish girl. She seemed surprised to see Chen Jiang and stood up to ask, "Hello, do you have any business, or are you looking for someone?"
"Xiao Jiu, this is my friend. I asked him to come. You don't need to worry about him."
Just as Chen Jiang was about to answer, he heard Zhang Jie's voice. Turning around, he saw Zhang Jie emerge from the inner room and wave at him.
"Jiang Zi, come here, I was just talking about you with your sister-in-law."
"Ugh."
Chen Jiang agreed, nodded to the receptionist, and walked over.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you've really got money now, you're different. What's with that flashy hairstyle?" As he approached, Zhang Jie looked on with envy and jealousy: "By the way, where did you get your hair done? Can you recommend a place?"
"Haha, I'll push it to you in a bit."
Chen Jiang chuckled twice and followed him into the office.
The office is fairly well-decorated and not small in size, with desks, sofas, and other amenities.
However, besides Zhang Jie and his wife, there were two foreign girls sitting on the sofa at this moment. They were quite beautiful, with fair skin and tall figures. One had blond hair and the other had dyed white hair, which made them look very unique.
That's right, she also has the common flaw of most models—she's a bit flat-chested.
Besides, this was his brother and sister-in-law's territory, so he felt embarrassed to look around too much. He quickly looked away and greeted Xu Ruirui behind the desk, "Sister-in-law, it's been a long time."
"You've finally made it, Jiang Zi. You've been worrying about Lao Zhang these past few days, afraid you might do something rash. But now that I see you... I feel like you've completely let go of the past."
Xu Ruirui used to be a model agent, and later she and some friends started this company together. She naturally has a friendly personality, and although she has only met Chen Jiang a few times, she is quite generous and easygoing.
"And that hairstyle is great, you look really handsome. How about you come work part-time for me?"
"Uh... Sister-in-law, let's forget about it then."
Chen Jiang quickly waved his hand in refusal.
"Look at her, she's even getting shy now..."
Xu Ruirui chuckled twice, and Zhang Jie came over to strike up a conversation:
"Alright, stop with the nonsense. Jiang Zi, the reason I asked you to come here is because of what I told you last time. You're in charge of data maintenance, right? Your sister-in-law's modeling website is thinking of going more professional and wants to hire someone knowledgeable to help out."
"The website and everything are already set up. If you're willing to help, you can come and work here."
"Well..." Chen Jiang knew he meant well, but to be honest, he really didn't want to work anymore, so he shook his head and said, "No thanks, Brother Jie and Sister-in-law. My skills are just average, and I really want to rest recently, so I won't trouble you."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jie and Xu Ruirui exchanged a glance:
"Alright then, this position isn't in urgent need. Just let me know when you're ready to come, and you can start anytime."
"Thank you, Brother Jie, Sister-in-law."
This gave him a way out, and Chen Jiang showed a grateful expression.
"It's alright, we're all friends, there's no need for this." Xu Ruirui waved her hand, then suddenly looked at the two foreign model girls sitting obediently on the sofa and switched to English: "You two, have you found a place to stay?"
Both girls shook their heads at the same time.
Xu Ruirui turned to look at Zhang Jie, who then looked at Chen Jiang, gave him a look, and said with a smile:
"Are you busy this afternoon, Jiang Zi?"
Chen Jiang sensed something was wrong: "Um, it should be nothing."
Zhang Jie grinned mischievously. "How about you do me a favor and help these two girls move?"
"what?"
Chen Jiang was startled: "I'm helping them move?"
Xu Ruirui interjected to explain:
"Our company does have employee dormitories, but they are quite a distance from here."
"But they just flew here from Russia this morning. They don't speak Chinese and have never been here before. They're completely clueless. I have business to attend to this afternoon, and I'm worried about Old Zhang because he's unreliable. Could you please help them get familiar with the area?"
"By the way, your English level should be pretty good, right?"
"It's alright..." Chen Jiang replied helplessly, "But will these two girls be willing?"
"That's fine then. You'll take care of them today; you don't need to worry about the rest."
"They came to China to beg for food, so why should we let them have the final say?"
Xu Ruirui, with the air of a strong woman, decisively settled the matter with a wave of her hand. Turning to the two Russian girls with a cold expression, she said, "Nina, Margarita, you two will go with him later. He will arrange where you'll stay, understand?"
The two Russian girls seemed genuinely scared. They glanced back at Chen Jiang and cautiously nodded in agreement.
"Okay, BOSS."
Chen Jiang sighed. With that kind of looks, he would be surrounded by crowds in China, but in Xu Ruirui's eyes, he was just a stinking beggar from out of town... Sure enough, what they say online is true, we still have to open our eyes to the world.
Zhang Jie leaned closer, put his arm around his shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "So, did you keep your word, Brother Jie? These two girls are top-notch, and they haven't been in the industry for very long. Even if you don't want to find a partner right now, you should still get to know them. Maybe you'll hit it off with one?"
Chen Jiang gave a wry smile. Although he wasn't really in the mood for that right now, he didn't say anything more.
"You've really gone to a lot of trouble, Brother Jie..."
