Chapter 4
Yossi saw the woman’s face first.
Her face was slim and her skin whiter than snow. Her eyes were as clear as autumn water and there was a hint of charm in her clear eyes. Her full red lips shone like summer cherries.
Looking down the neck of the porcelain white swan, the body that had lost the cover of the towel was beautiful and charming.
If she had to sum it up in one word, the first word that came to mind was “stunner”.
After 23 years of living, Yossi’s perception of beauty was refreshed for the first time.
She didn’t bother to dress, and her whole body was almost in front of the mirror! This was her face, but it was different. Her eyebrows didn’t have the same charm!
It must be because she had bathed for too long that her brain was deprived of oxygen, causing her to hallucinate. She had forcibly applied a hundred layers of beauty filters!
Slowly picking up the towel from the floor, Yossi changed into her pyjamas with a stiff expression on her face and sat back in front of the mirror to blow out her hair.
She deliberately didn’t look at her reflection and thought to herself, “It’s all an illusion, it’s all an illusion, it’s all an illusion…”.
It is said that separation makes people crazy, and this could be the aftermath of her anger. Didn’t she still have a beautiful dream of being the most charming woman in the bathtub? It must be that Shen Qing finding a new lover was too much of a blow for her, causing serious psychological trauma, so she imagined such a beautiful face.
After taking care of herself, Yossi lay down on the bed, turned off the light and went to sleep.
She would be fine when she woke up in the morning.
Or so she thought.
But the next day, the beauty in the mirror was still breathtaking! Her eyes were wide open, and her lazy expression was clearly stupid, but because of that face, there was a charm to it.
“Oh my God!” Yossi whispered. She heard Mother You calling her to get up for breakfast and she became even more confused.
How could she explain this sudden beauty?
If it had been a small operation, she wouldn’t have recovered so quickly!
She sat in front of the mirror and rubbed her cheeks, her mind blank with shock.
“Time to eat! Still not up? Your dad bought you some xiaolongbao, eat it while it’s hot! “Mother You knocked on the door again.
Yossi craned her neck to answer, but her eyes were fixed on the person’s face in the mirror.
Fortunately, her features were still her features, but there was a sense of enchantment added to them. From the inside to the outside, it was like the effect of a first-class photoshop.
Forget it, I really can’t think of any other way. If my parents think it’s weird, I’ll just tell them. Becoming beautiful was a good thing, she wouldn’t be scolded for it. They were his parents, after all. They didn’t mean any harm.
What she should be worried about was how she was going to face her colleagues at work tomorrow.
Yossi came out of the bedroom with a mixture of joy and worry. She stared at her smooth toes and called out nervously, “Mum…”
“What mother? Did you wash your face and brush your teeth? I say, you don’t have a regular schedule, why … ”
Mother You was arranging the bowls and chopsticks in front of the dining table. She turned her head and suddenly saw a beautiful face. She was stunned and the words in her mouth stopped abruptly.
The eyes, nose and mouth were indeed those of her daughter. But her loving and moving behaviour made her whole face as tender and beautiful as a rose in the moonlight.
How could that silly girl Yossi have such a temperament!
Yossi curled her toes uneasily. Her rapid breathing made her chest tight. Trying to calm herself, she pointed to her face and laughed: “I spent a lot of money on CPB Upper-Class beauty cream. It cost more than 9,000 yuan! The effect is good, right? Isn’t it worth it? ”
Her dry smile brought Mother You back to her senses.
She dried the water from her hands, walked over to her daughter and stared at her face for a long time. Then she reached out and gently pinched her face and said angrily: “More than 9,000 yuan! Robbing money! Look at you, your face looks like it’s been slapped. You must have added hormones to your make-up! That kind of beauty won’t last long. You still need to get up early and go to bed early. Eat more fruit and vegetables… ”
Mum You started talking about health and beauty again.
Usually she found it tedious, but now Yossi breathed a sigh of relief.
Mother You’s doubts had been dispelled, which meant that this reason had a certain credibility.
If her female colleagues followed the trend, bought and used the products, and in the end found that they couldn’t achieve the same rebirth effect as her, she could use the almighty excuse of the shopping guide: “Our products definitely have the effect, but it varies from person to person.”
…
She became beautiful, and the old-fashioned professional clothes on her body were also charming.
In order to sleep longer in the morning, Yossi used to apply only light make-up to cover small imperfections, brighten her complexion and make her look more energetic.
But today…
She hesitated in front of the dressing table for a while and finally put the make-up bag down. She did only the basic sunscreen.
Now, without make-up, she was breathtakingly beautiful. After make-up, she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to use the Upper-Class beauty cream to fool her sharp-eyed colleagues.
Yossi took her bag and went out. Last night she couldn’t sleep until two in the morning. She was very tired, but her mind was very clear.
On her way to the tube station, she began to remember the instructions for the Heartthrob Perfume.
In an age where appearance was everything, everyone wanted to be beautiful. But the one-year period was like magic for Cinderella. The bell rang and the beautiful dream was shattered.
She guessed the developer’s intentions.
First, they distributed the test products and let the test users taste the sweetness. One year was enough for people with weak willpower to become completely dependent on the comfort provided by the Heartthrob Perfume. To continue this beauty, the developer would ask for an exorbitant price, and the users who were already inseparable from the Heartthrob Perfume would try their best to raise the money.
Thinking of this, Yossi became alert.
She couldn’t fall into the unscrupulous developer’s trap!
Yossi was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she didn’t notice the burning eyes all around her. As she entered the subway station, she realised that someone was secretly taking pictures of her with a mobile phone!
It was a trendy man with greasy hair and a powdered face. Sensing her gaze, he even stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, frivolously and pathetically.
Yossi felt sick. She lowered her head and hurried to the security line.
If she had known earlier, she would have worn a mask when she went out. The subway station was a mixture of good and bad people, and it would be terrible if she met idiots and perverts!
Squeezed between two aunties, the uniformed security guards in front of her calmed Yossi’s anxious heart. In a public place, even the most careless person would be a bit more careful.
The more high you were on the weekend, the more depressed you would be on Monday. The office workers queuing at the security checkpoint all had numb expressions and dull eyes.
Until –
Yossi stepped into their line of sight.
The men’s eyes were glued to her like magnets. Their eyes were bright and their gaze was burning.
The plastic surgery industry was highly developed in those days, and the girls’ make-up skills were excellent. Beautiful women were everywhere and no longer a rarity. But a stunner like Yossi, who exuded a seductive aura from her bones, had only been seen on screen.
This was probably how Shen Qing felt when he was surrounded by girls like a monkey…
For the first time in her life, Yossi felt like the centre of attention. She blushed and had to lift her bag to cover her face.
She was a little scared, but her instinctive vanity made her feel a little happy.
It turned out that this was the feeling of being the centre of attention.
…
There were several big business districts in Beijing, and the financial district was one of them.
It was close to the subway, and the rows of office buildings attracted many companies, making this area the world of office workers.
In the crowded subway car, 80% of the passengers got off here. Yossi mingled with a group of office workers in suits and high-heeled skirts and walked towards the Bo Group building.
She usually arrived at the office on time at 9 o’clock, but today she was stopped in front of the Bo Group building –
The dark blue suit couldn’t hide the bulging beer belly, and the man’s cologne smelled very greasy. He smiled at Yossi and confidently tried to add her on WeChat.
“I’m the CEO of the Fuhui Group. My name is Wang Zhibin. I think you should know me.” He looked at the Bo Group building, then at the employee card on her chest, and said, “Are you interested in working for our company? It’s a shame that a talent like you is buried in an investment bank. I can arrange a more suitable position for you, with easier work and more money. ”
The man wanted to show his gentlemanly side, but because he couldn’t hide his dirty thoughts, his smile looked very obscene.
Yossi didn’t care if he was the CEO or the CET. Seeing that she was going to be late for work, she immediately shook her head and refused, “Sorry, I’m not planning on changing my job for the time being.”
She turned and walked towards the Bo Group building, but was blocked by the man’s fat body.
Wang Zhibin seemed to unintentionally show his wristwatch, which was a gold Rolex with a strong nouveau riche aura, “Let’s add each other on WeChat. Maybe you’ll find out soon, huh? Miss You. ”
Yossi flipped the employee card alertly, regretting that she had hung it up beforehand for the sake of convenience. She took a step back and refused again, “Sorry, I’m in a hurry, please excuse me.”
She didn’t know if this person was too confident or too thick-skinned, but he actually ignored her refusal and acted as if he was determined to win, refusing to let her leave.
“It’s just WeChat or a phone number. It won’t take you long.”
Wang Zhibin had played with many young girls, including many little stars. Yossi, who was beautiful enough to be a star in the entertainment world, was just a clerk in an investment bank! The joy of finding a treasure was spontaneous. How could he let it slip away so easily?
There were office workers in a hurry, and no one had time to worry about the man and woman in the street. Who knew if it was a domestic affair or not?
Besides, Wang Zhibin just stopped the her and didn’t do anything, so the man who wanted to be a hero and save the beauty didn’t have a chance.
After being pestered for a full five minutes, Yossi was so worried that sweat started to form on the back of her head.
What a lousy perfume! She didn’t get to slap that bastard Shen, but she did attract two flies in the morning. One secretly took pictures, and the other refused to let her go! She was so upset!
Looking at a male colleague she knew, Yossi was about to ask for help when a stretch Lincoln stopped in front of them.
It was a one-way glass, so she couldn’t see who was inside. The driver’s door opened and a strong driver stepped forward. He politely said to Wang Zhibin, “Please leave immediately and don’t bother this lady any more.
Yossi immediately hid behind the driver as if she had grasped a life-saving straw and said quietly, “Thank you.
The driver’s ears were a little red, he coughed and said, “You’re welcome. My boss asked me to help.”
Boss?
Yossi turned her head to look at the stretch Lincoln beside her. Her figure was reflected in the window, like the most beautiful flower in a garden. Even though she couldn’t see him, she bowed slightly out of politeness, to thank the kind-hearted person who had helped her out of trouble.
When a man reached middle age, he would have a meteoric rise.
Wang Zhibin was considered to be quite successful in the business world, and he was even more domineering in the company. He had always looked down on others, but he was always rejected by beautiful women.
How could he stand it?
His car was not far away, and when Yossi passed his car, he got out to stop her without saying anything. Now that he was being picked on he didn’t want to be outdone, He waved at his car signalling the driver who was also a bodyguard, to come over immediately.
