Chapter 178: The Makeover Plan for the Tomboy

Chapter 178: The Makeover Plan for the Tomboy

TL: Etude

Jiang Qin always thought the term influence was somewhat metaphysical. He had never seen anyone transformed for the better through mere influence. However, he had encountered a once aloof and adorable girl who, under influence, had quickly learned to call him brother with ease.

And she learned it both quickly and well, now using it effortlessly.

This is the classic case of it takes a lifetime to learn good habits, but only a moment to pick up bad ones.

Leading someone astray is easy, but to positively influence someone takes an immense amount of time.

He Yijun was probably aware of this, but for his rebellious daughter, he had surely tried every method under the sun. Adding one more to the mix wouldnt hurt.

As a shrewd and cunning businessman, Mr. He was tough to deal with. But if you considered him as a doting father, his weaknesses became obvious and his soft heart apparent.

Striking unexpectedly and targeting vulnerabilities was the key to achieving ones goals and then withdrawing gracefully.

Jiang Qin had built his business empire mainly by employing this strategy of psychological manipulation.

Please enjoy your tea, Mr. Jiang. Ill go call Manqi over. Shes playing on the computer in the next room.

Sure, Mr. He.

After a while, when Jiang Qin was already on his second cup of tea, He Manqi finally appeared, her face marked by irritation.

Recently, she had dyed her hair blonde and cut her bangs to cover one eye. The exposed eye was heavily made-up, and she sported three earrings on one ear, the highest one even piercing the cartilage.

Jiang Qin almost spat out his tea, thinking she looked exactly like a character from a game.

In the era when non-mainstream fashion was rampant, it seemed everyone followed the same trend.

Truly the mother of rebellion, she epitomized defiance.

Quick, call him big brother, Mr. He demanded sternly.

Jiang Qin, feeling oddly demoted in rank, immediately objected, Mr. He, I really dont want to be called big brother. Let Manqi call me uncle instead.

Ah, right, call him uncle.

He Manqi scoffed, flipping her hair arrogantly, Or maybe I should just call him grandpa.

Jiang Qin had no objections, thinking to himself about the peculiar father-daughter relationship.

Mr. Hes face darkened like the bottom of a pot, See what I mean? I spoiled her rotten since she was little. She doesnt understand basic manners and never misses a chance to contradict me.

Take it easy, theres no rush.

He Manqi glanced at them sideways, What do you want from me? I havent finished my game yet!

Mr. He pointed at Jiang Qin, Youre going with your uncle to Linchuan University for a walk, to clear your mind.

Im not going. I finally got a break from school, and now you want me to go back there? Might as well kill me!

Thats not a break; youre suspended, Mr. He retorted, visibly frustrated.

He Manqi, with a defiant look, said, Suspended, on a break, whats the difference?

Jiang Qin stood up, University is different from high school. Go have a look; think of it as a fun trip. When you get back, you can boast to your friends about how a cool guy took you around the university.

?

He Manqi internally questioned his cool guy claim but seemed slightly intrigued, Alright, Ill give you this chance. But if its not fun, Im coming right back!

Mr. He breathed a sigh of relief, Thank you, Mr. Jiang.

No trouble at all. Its all in the spirit of mutual benefit.

Jiang Qin waved his hand and took He Manqi to Linchuan University.

Their first stop was the Entrepreneurship Center 208, where they had to deal with some order issues.

Lu Feiyu and Dong Wenhao were playing cards, their faces covered in sticky notes like a beaded curtain.

Su Nai, Wei Lailan, and a group of girls were painting their nails while chatting about the latest gossip from online forums.

He Manqi looked around in amazement, Is this the legendary university life?

Jiang Qin, with a wry smile, replied, This is the legendary university life.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

The results so far were good, but Jiang Qin felt they were not spectacular enough.

Manqi, how about dyeing your hair back to its original color and getting rid of that side fringe? Youd look much cleaner and more attractive.

No way! He Manqis eyes widened in shock. That would be so uncool. All the girls at our school look like that!

Uncool?

Of course, black hair is so bland!

It seems I need to forcibly correct your sense of beauty.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Qin called up Feng Nanshu, asking her to come over with her hair tied in a ponytail.

Soon after, Feng Nanshu appeared from the girls dormitory, her hair in a ponytail, wearing a pale pink sweater and a short white down jacket. Her eyes sparkled as she ran over.

He Manqi was dumbfounded, her eyes wide open as she met Feng Nanshus cool gaze and quickly looked down, feeling a shiver of awe.

See, beauty isnt about the hairstyle.

Jiang Qin pointed at Feng Nanshu, Lets find a salon and change your hair back, just like this sister. How about it?

After a moment of being lost in thought, a gleam of excitement sparked in He Manqis eyes, Yes!

Feng Nanshu glanced at He Manqi, her nose wrinkling slightly, Jiang Qin, who is she?

Jiang Qin coughed, A partners younger sister.

Lets go hand in hand.

First, lets get in the car. Ill take you to get He Manqis hair done, and then well all have dinner together.

Later, they found a sizable hair salon. He Manqi was ecstatic, insisting on getting the exact same hairstyle as Feng Nanshu, regardless of the cost.

She found Feng Nanshu stunningly beautiful in both appearance and demeanor, embodying the coolness she had always aspired to. He Manqi realized that despite her efforts with hair dye and piercings, she had never reached Feng Nanshus level of allure.

Not yet achieving it was fine; she would start by imitating.

So, the hairstylist, using Feng Nanshu as a reference, gave He Manqi an identical haircut.

He Manqi, who already had good features, had just been too overtly flamboyant, making her look unrefined. Now, taking cues from Feng Nanshu, she acquired a bit of a goddess-like aura.

High cheekbones, large eyes, and a high ponytail of black hair made her look pure and ethereal.

After the haircut, He Manqi removed her earrings and mimicked Feng Nanshus gaze in the mirror.

Holy shit!

Am I really this goddess-like?

He Manqi was thrilled by her new image, her heart racing with excitement.

Big brother Jiang Qin, do I look good?

Jiang Qin smiled lightly, When you go back to school, all the girls will be envious, and all the boys will be at a loss for words. If you also improve your studies, oh my, youll be the moonlight in many peoples hearts.

He Manqis eyes widened, What does moonlight mean?

Its like your sister Nanshu. Even years after graduating from high school, when people talk about the most revered girl in school, they probably think of her. I remember back then, many boys would sneak to the back door of their class just to catch a glimpse of her. Thats what moonlight means.

After Jiang Qin finished speaking, he looked at Feng Nanshu, Why is your face so red?

Feng Nanshu gazed at him with clear eyes, Brother Jiang Qin, do I look good?

Dont learn this part!

Oh.

Physical Transformation

Big brother = elder brother. But in different contexts, it can be familial love or flirting love, like oppa in Korean or daddy in English I guess, haha.
