Rebirth in 1980: I pretend to be a pig, eat the tiger and marry the chief

He couldn't afford to pay.

Tang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, just clean it up when the time comes."

When they arrived at the competition venue, they thought she had come early enough, but unexpectedly, Director Wei was so anxious that his eyes turned red.

"Xiao Tang, why did you come just now? Look, what time is it now!" Director Wei poked the watch on his hand hard, wishing he could break the glass of the watch.

Tang Zheng glanced at his watch uncertainly: "Twelve forty, still early."

Director Wei was so angry that he almost had a heart attack: "He arrived at eight or nine in the morning, and you are still saying that you came early?"

If he didn't know Tang Zheng's address, he would have gone to Tang Zheng's residence to abduct him.

If Tang Zheng didn't come again, he had prepared for the worst and replaced him on the spot.

Tang Zheng and Lu Junyi arrived at the designated location in the dressing room, and Director Wei led two girls over: "Choose one."

These two are professional models, carefully selected by Director Wei.

Tang Zheng pointed at one casually: "Let's pick her."

The girl who was chosen breathed a sigh of relief, while the other girl left disappointed.

"Let me see what kind of clothes you're wearing so I can put on makeup and style them." Just then, a woman with delicate makeup and bright clothes came over with a proud look on her face.

She folded her arms over her chest and her nostrils were raised to the sky.

Director Wei quickly said, "Xiao Tang, this is our Magic City's most famous makeup artist, Duo Wen. With her help, even ugly people can turn into fairies. This time, she will definitely add points to the costume competition!"

Duo Wen still had a stern face and spoke unhappily: "I've been very busy these past two days. I'm about to join the crew to put on makeup for the male lead. If it weren't for Director Wei's face, I wouldn't want to come."

Tang Zheng pulled the corner of his mouth: "Really? So busy? I won't bother you then."

Tang Zheng's words shocked everyone who noticed this side.

Duowen is quite famous in the makeup circle. All kinds of socialites, ladies and celebrities ask her to do their makeup, so her schedule is very full.

The other models were extremely envious that Director Wei was able to invite her this time.

Tang Zheng's words made Duo Wen frown and glare: "What did you say?"

In Shanghai, all the customers are very enthusiastic towards her. How can a small fashion designer dare to talk to her in such an attitude? Aren’t they afraid that she will quit her job?

Tang Zheng said as he cleaned up the dressing table: "Didn't you say you were busy? I'm embarrassed to waste your time."

"Xiao Tang!" Director Wei said anxiously, "Don't be so irritable now. Apologize to Duo Wen and let this matter go."

After Director Wei finished speaking, he smiled at Duo Wen and said, "I'm really sorry. This child may have been too busy these days and doesn't talk much. So, after the competition is over, I will add another 500 to your fee."

Director Wei thought that what he said was good, but to Duowen, it seemed that Director Wei thought that she only cared about money and not face.

"They said they don't need me anymore. Even if you give me money, I can't stay. I have something else to do, so I'm leaving now."

As Duowen was about to leave with her makeup box, Director Wei quickly hugged her makeup box and said, "Teacher Duowen, don't bother with her..."

Director Wei wanted to say a few nice words, but Duowen pulled the makeup box away with such force that Director Wei almost fell down.

Director Wei turned around and wanted to scold Tang Zheng. After all, this fashion competition was not just about the clothes, but also about the overall look of the model. Otherwise, why would they need models for this competition? They could just pick two middle-aged women from the street.

"Xiao Tang..."

Director Wei was about to speak when he saw Tang Zheng already putting makeup on the model with expert movements.

The makeup these days is all heavy and gaudy, but Tang Zheng’s main focus is on natural and light makeup.

After her makeup is done, paired with the accessories made by Tang Zheng and wearing the dress she designed, it is really hard to take your eyes off her.

Upon seeing this, Director Wei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Xiao Tang, if you have this ability, why didn't you tell me in advance? I was worried for a long time."

Tang Zheng looked at the model in the mirror and was quite satisfied: "I didn't know you were going to hire a makeup artist."

If I had known this earlier, I would have given her the money for hiring a makeup artist.

"Countdown, all models are about to go on stage, everyone get ready!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone became nervous.

The models have already started lining up and preparing to enter.

"Hold on tight, and be careful when you go on stage, don't fall."

Tang Zheng handed the hem of the model's skirt to her arms. He looked up inadvertently and saw that the model's face was covered in sweat and her makeup was a little smudged.

"what happened to you?"

The model immediately choked up and said, "I...my stomach hurts a little..."

Something flashed through Tang Zheng's mind. He stared at the model's eyes uncertainly for a moment, and then saw the model turned his head away guiltily.

"What's going on? You were fine just now. The other model left, and now you say you have a stomachache. Where can I find another model?" Director Wei was so anxious that he almost stamped his feet.

Tang Zheng looked at his watch and said, "Take off your clothes."

The model held her belly and insisted: "I... I can bear it for a while..."

"Take off!"

Tang Zheng would not believe her. If something went wrong when this person came on stage, there would be no room for redemption.

The model took off her clothes reluctantly, and maybe it was because she was too rough, but the clothes were torn.

"Ouch... I'm sorry..."

When Director Wei saw this, his face turned ugly: "What's wrong with you? Tell me, are you trying to hurt me on purpose?"

The model burst into tears: "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it. How much is it? Can't I just compensate you?"

Tang Zheng looked at the tear on the dress and wished he could skin the female model alive!

Seeing that other models were lining up to enter, Tang Zheng didn't even have time to curse.

She looked around and her eyes fell on a makeup artist who was styling a model.

"Hello, can you be my model?"

The makeup artist was stunned and didn't react.

Tang Zheng took a breath, briefly explained his situation, and then emphasized: "I think your temperament is better than that of a model, so I dare to ask you to do me a favor. Money is not a problem."

"No, you're my makeup artist, how can you be someone else's model?"

Upon seeing this, the fashion designer immediately refused coldly.

She had to admit that the clothes designed by Tang Zheng were indeed very good. She felt that if the clothes she designed were compared with those designed by Tang Zheng, they would be indistinguishable.

But now, Tang Zheng not only lost his model, but his clothes were also damaged. It would be a lie to say that she was not gloating over other people's misfortune. In this way, she could surpass Tang Zheng.

The makeup artist glanced at the designer and said in a bad tone: "I have already done the model's makeup, so my task is over. As for the rest, it is my freedom."

The makeup artist finished speaking and then said to Tang Zheng: "I am willing to be your model, let's get started."

"If you dare, I won't give you a penny!" the designer warned coldly.

Tang Zheng said lightly: "I'll give you double."

The makeup artist didn't think any more and immediately followed Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng chose her because her makeup looked good and her figure was just right, so it wouldn't take too much time to redo her makeup and look.

"What should you do with your dress?" The makeup artist looked at the long cut on the hem of her skirt with some regret.

Tang Zheng sneered, took out the needle and thread from his bag, and sewed it as quickly as possible.

"But this is too rough..."

After the makeup artist finished speaking, Tang Zheng took out a hairpin from her bag. She pulled off the huge bow on the hairpin and sewed it directly to the torn part of the skirt with needle and thread.

The fabric used for the bow hairpin is exactly the same as the one used for the clothes she designed. It was originally intended to be used as a headdress but was never used. Unexpectedly, it is now used on a knife blade.

At first glance, it seems that the bow was meant to be placed on the hem of the skirt. It fits perfectly and is impeccable.

"Okay, come on, no matter we win or lose, I won't treat you unfairly!"
