It was generally said that women took a long time to put on makeup. In fact, male celebrities also took a long time to put on makeup.

Fortunately, Song Qianming’s facial features and skin were good. Coupled with his strong objection, his face did not change much. However, it took him a long time to fix his hairstyle.

He didn’t understand it himself. It was obviously short hair, so what could change about it? However, Jack seemed to be dissatisfied and changed several styles before finally stopping under his unfriendly gaze.

“This will do.” He was still a little regretful, but Song Qianming did not dare to let him get any closer.

“In the future, you can come to me in advance for your red carpet styling,” Jack said excitedly. “I’ll make sure you’re satisfied. I’ll try to get you the Best Red Carpet Styling Award every time.”

Song Qianming was speechless. “Isn’t that something only female celebrities fight for?” he asked.

“You don’t understand. The competition between male celebrities these days is no less intense than that between female celebrities. Everyone is putting in all their effort into the small details.”

“We’ll talk about it next time.” His scalp went numb at the thought that he would have to go through such torment in the future.

At about six o’clock, a Bentley arrived at the entrance of the styling room. Looking at the smooth design of the car, Song Qianming whistled in his heart. When he first arrived, he didn’t think much about it. However, the longer he stayed in this world, the more he wanted to own these gorgeous luxury cars.

“The boss is here,” Sister Hong said as she recognized the license plate.

Song Qianming was curious. He had never seen his boss!

This feeling was quite novel. He was a prince with countless people under him in his previous life, but now he had become someone else’s employee.

When he had just signed the contract, Sister Hong had said that it was the boss who had asked her to get in touch with him. Who was this mysterious boss? Since he knew him, why did he not have any impression of him at all?

The first thing he saw was a leg in high heels. He was slightly stunned. The boss was a woman?

The woman was wearing a red dress and a pair of big sunglasses. She walked in with large stride and looked confident and arrogant.

“Are you ready?” She sized up Song Qianming and seemed to be very satisfied with his style today, so she nodded.

“Dashan, help me put on some makeup too.” She sat on the sofa and looked at Jack.

Jack had a constipated look on his face. “My young miss, can you not call me by that name anymore?”

The woman rolled her eyes, but she didn’t seem crude. “No matter how long you’ve been abroad, aren’t you still called Li Dashan?”

“Fine, fine.” Jack did not argue with her. “Do you want to change your clothes?”

“No need. Just do it like this. I’m in a hurry. Just do my face.”

Song Qianming watched as she commanded the men. This woman was different from all the women he had known before. Although she looked charming and had a seductive figure, her actions were not very mannerly. However, those actions, such as rolling her eyes, were surprisingly not annoying.

“I haven’t introduced myself to you. I’m your boss, Ge Yunqing. You can call me boss or young miss like they do.”

Song Qianming smiled and extended his right hand. “Boss, I’m your artist, Song Qianming.”

“I know,” Ge Yunqing shook his hand. “I was the one who asked Sister Hong to sign you.”

“Where did you find out about me, boss?” he asked out of curiosity.

“In a restaurant. You were talking to another agency at that time, right? I happened to see you.” Ge Yunqing gave a simple explanation.

Song Qianming did not expect it to be such a coincidence, but he was not surprised.

“Do I need to pay attention to anything at the banquet later?”

“No need. You’re a part of my company, so you don’t have to be afraid of anything. If anyone bullies you, feel free to come to me. But our company’s foundation in this industry is still weak, so we shouldn’t go out of our way to make people dislike us.”

Song Qianming’s smile deepened. “Thank you, boss. With your words, I’m even more confident.”

Ge Yunqing was not the first powerful woman he had met. In his previous life, his royal grandmother controlled the court and was much more dominating than this. However, her power in his previous life was extremely oppressive. He and his royal brother had almost lost their lives to her.

However, Ge Yunqing was different. Ge Yunqing’s domineering energy made it seem as if she was protecting him under her command. Even though she was clearly just a woman who looked about the same age as him.

Song Qianming did not feel humiliated at all. In fact, he felt a little special.

Sitting in Ge Yunqing’s car, Song Qianming’s desire to buy a car grew stronger. Nice cars just felt different from ordinary cars.

“Do you know how to drive?” Ge Yunqing sat beside him and asked.

Song Qianming touched his nose, feeling a little awkward. “I don’t.”

“You still have to learn it. What if you encounter an emergency in the future?”

“Thank you for your reminder, boss. I’ll find time to learn it as soon as possible.”

The two of them had nothing more to say. Song Qianming did not have a wife in his previous life, and the most interaction he had with women was with the palace maids. However, the palace maids were there to serve him, and without him saying anything, they could understand his intentions.

After he came here, the girl he spent the most time with was his daughter, but she was only a child in kindergarten.

As for Sister Hong, Shen Bao’er, and the rest, most of their time was spent talking about work. Therefore, Song Qianming did not have much experience in interacting with women. Therefore, he did not know how to find a topic to talk about.

Ge Yunqing was probably tired from work today. She did not care about the man beside her and slowly closed her eyes to catch up on sleep.

Song Qianming thought to himself, ‘She’s quite at ease with me. But I guess this isn’t my past life, where there are taboos between men and women. She’s the boss, and there’s a driver in front. I’m just an artist under her, what can I do?’

The venue of the banquet was a five-star hotel in the city center. They arrived in no time. Song Qianming thought about the etiquette of this world and walked to the other side of the car to open the door for Ge Yunqing.

“Thank you,” she said. Ge Yunqing smiled perfectly and then held his arm. This action almost made Song Qianming unable to keep his expression.

Usually, when a man and a woman entered a banquet together, the woman would hold the man’s arm. However, Ge Yunqing was his boss, so there was no need to do this.

Ge Yunqing explained in a low voice as they walked, “I’m the boss. If I go in with you like this, others will assume that I’m supporting you. This way, those who have other thoughts won’t dare to do anything.”

“Boss, thank you for being so thoughtful.”

“You’re one of the people with the most potential in my company. It’s only right for me to think for you.”

The banquet was filled with toasts and conversations. Song Qianming had never attended such a party before. This kind of social interaction was completely different from his previous life. It was especially novel.

“I’ll bring you to meet a few people first. If you’re hungry, just bear with it. There’s a buffet over there. You can eat after you meet them.”

As a boss with such a career at such a young age, she was still so considerate of her subordinates. It was really rare. Song Qianming felt warm in his heart. The personality of his boss seemed to be completely different from her flamboyant appearance!
