Reborn in the 1980s: As a supermodel, I dominate the fashion world

Tian Xiaojuan thought that the piece of paper had accidentally fallen while sweeping the floor. Without thinking, she bent down to pick it up and threw it directly into the trash can.

After Lin Miao entered the room, she looked around and praised how clean and warm the room was.

He asked casually: "Why do you two live together?"

Bai Sitian told her that they had been playing together since childhood and were also neighbors.

Lin Miao's eyes shone: "I really envy you, being able to be with good friends. As for me... I have been sent to a sports school since I was a child, and I train with my teammates every day. I can only go back to my hometown once every six months to meet my old classmates. There has been no contact for a long time.”

Bai Sitian asked: "Then why did you become a model?"

Lin Miao pursed her lips slightly, lowered her head, hesitated for a moment and then said: "I voluntarily quit the volleyball team."

Bai Sitian and Tian Xiaojuan were both surprised: "Ah? Why?"

Lin Miao hesitated for a while before saying: "I...injured myself on purpose and took the initiative to apply for withdrawal."

Lin Miao swallowed and raised her voice a little: "My parents... both admire Lang Ping very much, and my height happens to meet the standards of a volleyball player. Their expectation of me is to win glory for the country like Lang Ping. So... I am very young. They were sent to sports schools. It was to realize their dreams."

"However, not everyone goes there because of their dreams." Lin Miao said suddenly emotionally.

"There is a girl in our team and I have a very good relationship with her. Do you know how hard this girl works? She gets up before dawn every day to practice until her whole body is scarred and she doesn't even take a break... I asked her, so Is it worth it?”

"She told me that her family was very poor in a rural area. Her parents and two younger brothers could only scrape together one complete pair of pants! They could only take turns wearing them every time they went out. After she was selected by the sports school and left home, she had no money for food and accommodation. Provided by the state, this can save money for the family. Later, she trained hard, and if she could win the championship with the team, it would be possible for her family to live a life without starvation."

Lin Miao looked up at the ceiling and fell into memories: "Three months ago, our team began to conduct selection and assessment. Only those who pass the assessment can officially participate in the competition. Those who fail can only become substitutes and wait for the next opportunity. However, every year There will be younger newcomers joining. If you can’t get in this time, you won’t have a chance next time.”

"On the day of the official assessment, she had a high fever of 39 degrees. But she knew that the opportunity was rare, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and participate. However, the result...she was a little short of entering the official team, and was ranked first on the substitute list."

Lin Miao stretched out a finger and gestured with "one":

"She was just a little bit closer to officially playing. She was so heartbroken that she stopped eating and drinking from that day on. I can't stand it anymore. How can she do this if she loses the motivation for life?"

"And I barely passed the assessment and became an official team member. I thought, how about I give it to her? Anyway, our family is in good condition and we are not short of money. Moreover, becoming the second Lang Ping is my parents' dream. Not my dream. So... I sprained my ankle on purpose and took the opportunity to ask for an exit."

Lin Miao stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and walked around the room twice.

Bai Sitian understood that although Lin Miao said it calmly, she must have experienced inner struggle and entanglement when she made this decision.

Having been trained since childhood, who doesn’t want to achieve good results? No one wants to give up their opportunity to others.

If placed in modern society, some people would probably say that Lin Miao is stupid. Bai Sitian sighed, what a kind girl.

Tian Xiaojuan was also stunned by these words and did not speak for a long time.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little heavy, Bai Sitian patted Lin Miao on the shoulder, smiled and joked: "Since you are so kind, then marry into my family and be my sister-in-law!"

The two were stunned for a moment, not expecting Bai Sitian to say this.

Then she realized it, and Lin Miao put her arm on Bai Sitian's shoulders: "No problem, then you have to listen to me in the future~"

……

In the training room in the afternoon, everyone went all out for additional training. Especially Lin Miao, her progress is extremely rapid.

Coach Su Yan came in and said he would make a detailed file record for everyone.

The first person to be called was Tian Xiaojuan. Su Yan asked her to take off her shoes and stand up straight with her back against the wall. There were graduation marks on the wall.

The coach pressed a ruler on top of Tian Xiaojuan's head to see where the corresponding scale was.

"Tian Xiaojuan, 177 centimeters" Su Yan turned his head and said to a girl, who quickly recorded the data in a notebook.

Su Yan asked Tian Xiaojuan to step on the scale again, "118 pounds"

Subsequently, Su Yan used a soft ruler to measure the shoulder width, chest circumference, hip circumference, upper arm circumference, wrist circumference, thigh circumference, calf circumference and the difference between the upper and lower body.

Finally, Tian Xiaojuan's shoe size was recorded, and that was it.

Bai Sitian thought to herself: It turns out that the requirements for models in this era are already so high.

The team members waited in line, and it took almost an hour to complete all measurements.

Su Yan took out the calculator again, pressed the buttons quickly, and said:

"Tian Xiaojuan currently weighs 118 kilograms and is expected to weigh 112 kilograms. She still needs to lose 6 kilograms."

Tian Xiaojuan looked sad and asked Su Yan: "My dear coach, how is this expected weight calculated?"

Su Yan stopped pressing the calculator and explained to everyone: "This is calculated based on a formula. (Height - 121) x 2. If you are a model, you should always pay attention to your weight. I recommend getting up every morning. It’s all about weighing and making it a habit.”

"Bai Sitian, current weight is 103 kilograms, expected weight is 116 kilograms, very good, just keep it."

Tian Xiaojuan came over with a grin on her face and hugged Bai Sitian: "Sister, can I give you my extra weight? You are too slender."

Lin Miao's height is 181 centimeters. According to the requirements of the model team, a weight of 120 kilograms is considered to meet the requirements.

But Lin Miao was once an athlete. She doesn't look fat at all at 140 pounds. After all, she has strong muscles all over her body.

Finally, Su Yan announced that starting tonight, team members who need to lose weight should not eat dinner.

The girls wailed, and Su Yan said harshly: "If you want to eat this bowl of rice, don't eat that dinner."

……

Under Tian Xiaojuan's coercion and inducement, Bai Sitian could only stay with her and skip dinner.

The euphemistic saying is, if you eat it by yourself, I will be too greedy to bear it, so we must lose weight together and face difficulties together.

The two sisters were lying on their own beds, Tian Xiaojuan was flipping through a magazine, and Bai Sitian was quietly thinking about her own affairs.

The first day of training has ended, and Bai Sitian already has a clear understanding of the training process and schedule of the model team.

She has a foundation in modeling and does not need to practice extra every day, so there is still a lot of time that is not used.

The training will end in one month, so the free time during this month should be used.

After all, she still has two important tasks to complete.

First of all, it is to raise funds for my sister’s dental beauty treatment.

Secondly, she wants to prevent her mother from changing jobs within three months.

Bai Sitian feels that she should make money first, and then she can realize her plan after making more money. When you make enough money, you can open a store and ask your mother to help keep the store.

What worries Bai Sitian is her mother's attitude. Her generation is relatively conservative. In their view, working in a state-owned factory is a stable and iron rice bowl, which is more noble than being self-employed.

Although self-employed people can make money, they are looked down upon.

Even if my mother can be promoted to a leader in the kindergarten, she still feels that she has more dignity as an ordinary laboratory technician.

Laboratory technicians wear white coats and sit in clean and bright offices every day. Better than working in a noisy, oily workshop. It's better than a kindergarten that takes care of little babies every day.

This was the best choice at that time and in that factory when there were not many choices.

Why? All because of dignity.

Bai Sitian understands that this may be related to the long-term poverty in her family. Her parents have always been looked down upon, so she is more eager to be respected by others.

Therefore, Bai Sitian decided to use "dignity" as a breakthrough.

She believes that when she earns enough money, she can find a way to make her mother realize that being self-employed and becoming a boss is a very honorable thing.

Having made up her mind, Bai Sitian was ready to take action.

She said softly to Tian Xiaojuan: "Xiaojuan, at 4 o'clock tomorrow morning, I plan to go to Zhengda Shopping Mall. Will you go with me?"
