Chapter 618

Makeup artists working in fashion magazines are like temporary employees preparing for civil service exams. In fact, they all want to use their current jobs as a springboard, but they cannot reveal it. Once they say it out loud, their leaders will think that this person will leave eventually. Since they cannot be retained, there is no need to bother to train them, so they will be marginalized and ignored.

Therefore, how to use the current environment to exercise personal abilities and how to naturally expand personal connections on this basis are all knowledge that makeup artists like Shen Zhenzhen must master.

Leaving a magazine to work alone is difficult, but it is also easy. The most typical example is Nancy, who directly found a new employer and asked the star team and the company to terminate the contract. Both sides were in harmony and there would be opportunities for cooperation again in the future.

In fact, the makeup designer for that photo shoot was Shen Zhenzhen, but she was too hardworking and hardworking at the time. She had not slept for two days before that. The weather was not good, and she fell ill at a critical juncture. So Nancy came to the rescue and used the design concept she had already decided on to finalize the makeup.

This kind of thing, as long as the framework is out, it belongs to the hands of makeup artists, and many times the so-called "out-of-the-box hits" are firstly luck, depending on how the company behind the artist market and hype, and secondly, tricks. Sometimes a star is extremely handsome and beautiful with a certain angle and a certain makeup, and other places are very ordinary, but a picture is enough to amaze fans and passers-by, so it just happens to be popular.

Nancy just took advantage of Shen Zhenzhen's achievements to get on with the artist, peacefully terminated the contract, and then moved around several times and successfully worked alone.

In comparison, Shen Zhenzhen seemed very miserable. She seemed to be trapped in a vicious circle. The more she worked, the more the magazine didn't want her to leave. But if she didn't work hard, she couldn't get in touch with more people in the circle.

She would never get ahead.

"What ideal life can she have!"

Nancy's scolding was still ringing in her ears. Shen Zhenzhen walked out of the elevator tiredly, her heels rubbed red by high heels, and limped to the side of the road.

She knew that what she said was true, and she really didn't have any ideals.

Busy making money, making money all the time, but in the end, it seems that she didn't get anything. Just like she used ambiguous words just now to make Nancy misunderstand that she had found Qin Jue as her next home, but when you look closely, this "having the upper hand" is just a momentary pleasure.

Alas - social animals.

Shen Zhenzhen sat in the online taxi, leaning back and not wanting to move.

She thought this was quite normal. People in society just compare with each other, compete for their mouths, status, salary, etc., and then look at people who are not as good as themselves to feel good and feel superior.

If Nancy really switched positions with her, she might not be able to help but choke.

We are all bad people, no one is better than anyone else, why are you pretending? Don't you pretend enough at ordinary times?

The phone was buzzing, Shen Zhenzhen picked it up and saw that a familiar message popped up in the group chat of "Loving Family".

[Dad]: [Voice message] Zhenzhen, you are already 29, it is hard to find a partner at 30

[Dad]: [Voice message] The son of your aunt's old classmate is about the same age as you, only three years older. He works in the system and is a small official. He earns a lot and is stable. What do you think?

[Dad]: [Information][Photo][Chat history]

[Dad]: [Voice message] There is enough money at home, so you don't have to send money all the time. Your mother and I don't have much to spend. You should worry more about yourself

[Dad]: [Voice message] Your circle is messy, and it is not easy to find a partner. You should come back and have more blind dates. Don't worry about the introductions from your family. You will always find someone you like after meeting a few more

"..."

Shen Zhenzhen resisted the urge to groan in front of the driver, but just exhaled again and exited the Feixun group chat window.

Yes, it is not easy to find a partner in the fashion circle. Those with good conditions have all gone to hook up with models. Last year, there was a guy who was quite attractive to me, but he turned out to be a sea king. They broke up after dating for less than two months.

Besides, she has not settled her career yet, so why should she find a partner

The ones I met on blind dates either said, "Don't dress up so flashy, it's not good," or "Don't make so much money. I feel uncomfortable as a woman who's always busy with work," or "I don't mind you being so flashy outside for so many years, but after you get married, I think you should stay at home to take care of the baby and breastfeed." Screw you.

I just want to make money!

Shen Zhenzhen got angry when she thought about it, and she was even more tired when she was angry. She rolled her eyes and opened her Moments to scroll through the updates out of boredom.

She was swiping with her thumb and suddenly stopped.

This was a Moments post from one of her closest roommates in college. She got married, and her wedding photos were beautiful. Shen Zhenzhen didn't know the man next to her, but the photo of them hugging each other looked very happy.

Shen Zhenzhen liked it, and subconsciously clicked on her roommate's avatar, wanting to send her an emoticon like she used to, asking her, "When did you, little girl, hook up with a good man behind my back!" or "Well, you're married and you didn't tell me first, I'm going to make a fuss!", and then her hand stopped again.

In the chat box, the last time they sent each other a message was a year ago.

Shen Zhenzhen stared at this page for a long time.

She remembered that after graduation, everyone went their separate ways, to different cities, with very different jobs, with new colleagues and new partners, and gradually lost common topics with each other, and just kept busy with their own things and lived their own lives.

"Miss? Miss, we're here."

The driver's voice brought Shen Zhenzhen back to reality.

She nodded in a panic and thanked him, picked up her exquisite brand-name handbag, got out of the car, and returned to her residence.

"…………"

Shen Zhenzhen threw herself into the single bed, looked up at the ceiling, and stared blankly.

After a while, the phone vibrated again. It was a message from her cousin Shen Ziqiong.

[Qiong Qiong]: Cousin! ! !

[Qiong Qiong]: Xiaolang said that he had read all the resumes that had been submitted before and was replying to them one by one!

[Qiong Qiong]: Did he reply to you? ! !

[Qiong Qiong]: Speaking of which, I downloaded some very useful archaeology preparation materials today! The senior said that all the real questions of the postgraduate entrance examinations in previous years are here!

[Qiong Qiong]: Wow, I really want to read the magazine again. Your makeup is really great. Teacher Qin is so handsome that I am stunned.

[Qiong Qiong]: But I have to study! ! Go for my dream! # Clenched fists # Come on

[Qiong Qiong]: I will come back to brag about your makeup skills after I finish memorizing the knowledge points! ! !

[Qiong Qiong]: [Cat head passionately cheering.gif]

This silly girl is still so energetic.

Shen Zhenzhen smiled a little as she watched, and then sighed softly.

That's great.

This is probably the empathy of "I can't do something, but I'm happy to see others do it". Although she is just a very vulgar worker who earns money, she is still very happy for her cousin who is so optimistic and works hard towards her goal every day.

Huh, resume... I guess there is no good news.

When Shen Ziqiong shared the recruitment information, Shen Zhenzhen was not unmoved. In her opinion, the conditions given by Qin Jue were generous enough, but the only two fatal ones were that she was required to make Qin Jue's makeup work the first priority, and that she was clearly informed that there was little room for advancement and there were not many places where she could be used.

The combination of these two points directly resulted in Shen Zhenzhen being able to leave the magazine, but it was not convenient for her to be a makeup artist for several stars like other colleagues and take orders alone. Because if Qin Jue suddenly needs work, according to the terms of the contract, she must put aside all her arrangements and give priority to Qin Jue. This is a taboo in the industry. If she comes a few more times, she will not be able to make it.

But if she is only tied to Qin Jue, she must face the problem of "little room for advancement" clearly. If her cousin is right, this actor is really low-key, does not like exposure, does not appear in announcements, and is very good without makeup. It is estimated that there are not many formal appearances with makeup throughout the year. This is no different from Shen Zhenzhen's situation in "RayE", and even considering the social network, the situation will be even worse.

So she thought about it and wrote her resume, but she just wanted to give it a try.

It's too risky. Shen Zhenzhen knows it herself. Like most office workers, she is not very brave.

Staying in "RayE"... After all, it's a fixed job, right? No need to worry about not making money, and you will also get a promotion...

Shen Zhenzhen bit her lip and hit the bed angrily.

She is like this, and it was the same several times before, so in the end, she was retained by Mr. Gu's means.

Resigning and changing jobs both require courage, and it is a gamble on the future of career.

Alas.

Anyway, Qin Jue, a potential newcomer, is very popular in the circle. Everyone is fighting for her position behind the scenes without saying it openly, and it may not be her turn.

The boss is a good boss, and I am not aware enough.

Shen Zhenzhen sighed for the countless times, supported her body to get up from the bed, took off the gorgeous but inconvenient dress, then removed her makeup, spread her hair, and did facial care.

"... Alas."

She was so tired, she didn't want to move.

Her stomach growled, and Shen Zhenzhen remembered that she had been busy all day today, and she had specially rushed to Sam to inquire about the news in the evening, and she didn't eat much.

She was the only one in the residence, it was cold and quiet, she didn't want to cook, and she had to wait for takeout.

Forget it, go to the coffee shop not far downstairs to get some coffee and bread.

Shen Zhenzhen put down the bottles and jars and changed into clothes for going out. Although she was already very lazy, she still matched them fashionably and beautifully. This is already an occupational disease for people in their circle, and it is engraved in their DNA.

Since she is going out, she must put on makeup.

She glanced at the makeup mirror and really didn't want to put on a full makeup, especially eye makeup, so she took out the eyebrow pencil and lipstick and quickly applied them to improve her complexion.

"Tsk, and hair..."

Shen Zhenzhen scratched her big wavy hair. She used too much hairspray when she did the last hairstyle, and now it looks greasy.

Ahhh, so annoying, I don't want to wash it, I'll wash it when I get back.

"This is definitely the sloppiest day of my life this year."

Shen Zhenzhen put a hat on her head and despised herself in her heart.

Forget it, who do you think you are, Shen Zhenzhen? Why are you showing off? No one will see you.

She went downstairs with her bag and shoes in a self-abandoned manner.

3000+

I'm going to write songs again, happy.
