"Today is the grand opening of our new store. Our stock is fully supplied. To thank both new and old custors, I'll be giving a hands-on makeup tutorial on the opening day. Anyone interested can stay. The entire lesson is free, but under one condition: everyone must remain completely silent during the session. Can you do that?"
"We can!"
The people present responded almost in unison.
When a goddess speaks, they can't not listen, right?
Bai Xiaotong saw the good response, better than she expected, and nodded in satisfaction. She invited the model she had prepared earlier to sit by the stage.
Bai Xiaotong really put a lot of effort into choosing soone. The person invited couldn't be too beautiful, but the makeup effect had to amaze everyone. Such a person is quite hard to find in reality.
Luckily, Bai Xiaotong was fortunate enough to spot a chic face while shopping. Seeing that this face perfectly suited her taste, she didn't hesitate to stop the woman on the street and ask if she would be willing to help.
To get the woman to agree, Bai Xiaotong promised that if the woman agreed, she would give her a set of her own frequently-used costics as a reward.
Listen, the reward was the kind of costics that Bai Xiaotong commonly used, sothing invaluable and often existing only in won's dreams, nowhere to buy.
Under the temptation of costics, the woman quickly surrendered.
Now, as she sat on the stage, Bai Xiaotong first used a blade to shape the woman's eyebrows.
A pair of beautiful eyebrows is half the success of makeup.
As soon as she shaped the eyebrows, the audience below started exclaiming.
What kind of divine artifacts are these? If they knew, they'd surely rush to buy a bunch of them to take ho.
"This kind of blade is specially used for shaping eyebrows, though it's a bit difficult to use. The key is practice makes perfect. If your technique isn't very developed, you can have others help you practice more."
With eyebrows on both sides done, Bai Xiaotong started to demonstrate the blade, one that could be found in any two-yuan store on the Blue Star, but tagged at five Purple Crystals in Bai Xiaotong's store, which was more outrageous than daylight robbery.
"However, since everyone has a different face shape, suitable eyebrows differ too. If you don't know what eyebrow shape suits you, I can help design it, just need a design fee."
Bai Xiaotong also worked part-ti as an image designer in the store, though this image design service ca at a high price, so it was unlikely many would seek her out for this.
"Amongst everyone here, do you often feel your skin is very dry, and your face peels?"
As soon as Bai Xiaotong said this, the audience imdiately chid in: "Yes, yes, you're completely right! My face is dry and has redness, these issues have troubled for so long, and even taking Elixir Pills didn't help. I even thought I had so terminal illness."
"It's not a terminal illness, just a signal of skin dehydration. I have a moisturizing divine artifact here. Use it for a while, and issues like dry skin and redness will disappear."
Bai Xiaotong introduced a product, using one on the model's face.
After the basic care of lotion and cream, it was on to the makeup part. Under Bai Xiaotong's masterful technique, a woman of average looks suddenly appeared like a Heavenly Immortal before everyone's eyes.
"I've always used myself as a guinea pig for everyone in the past, but today we've used soone else—hope it gives you new insights."
Seeing all the amazed gazes below, the model didn't know what was happening.
Bai Xiaotong brought a mirror for the model, who, upon first glance, thought there was sothing wrong with it.
Was the person with red lips and white teeth, bright eyes, and a charming smile in the mirror really her?
"Don't doubt it, the person in the mirror is truly you, and I won't go back on my promise to gift you the makeup set."
Bai Xiaotong had already prepared the set for the model, who left the shop with a wide, delighted grin.
With such a precious gift, she surely had to take it back ho for safekeeping, lest soone with ill intentions co to snatch it away?
"For now, everyone can go ahead and select your purchases. Everything is in the cabinets, just deposit the equivalent Purple Crystals, and you can open the cabinet and take what you want."
Kao Shan Street works like this; initially, Tang Rao wanted all the stores to have the sa handover exchange like at Kao Shan Shop, but now thought this approach works for now, wondering what would happen when more people ca later.
Although he had to admit that the Divine Realm was more advanced than Blue Star, there were many tactics on Blue Star worth Tang Rao's team learning from.
In just five short days, Tang Rao restocked all the shops. As for the internet cafe Tang Rao was planning, even after expanding with so many computers, there was still a supply shortfall, as people were fighting over computers, sotis coming to blows.
On the seventh day, the enthusiasm on Kao Shan Street hadn't waned. Besides the people from Tingzhou, after word spread, those from North Island and even other islands ca to see what wonders these products had.
Those who simply ca for the fun, seeing the items sold, didn't leave without being heavily laden! So didn't want to return ho until they had exhausted their household funds.
"Boss, your business is even better than I imagined, how did you manage it?"
Sun Miao, acting as an errand boy these few days to sell more products, was finally able to catch a break by noon and asked Tang Rao a question.
"There are many things you re mortals can't understand, now get back to work!"
Yan Xin threw over a bunch of goods, needing to be shelved; if not by noon then they'd run out by the afternoon.
"Boss, I'm strong, let know if any heavy lifting is needed, I'll help carry it."
Li Qi, always honest and never quarreling or competing, would just move to wherever there was work.
"Look at all of you, if only you were half as sensible as Li Qi, I wouldn't have to worry so much."
Blushing with embarrassnt from Tang Rao's praise, Li Qi wanted to say he hadn't done much, just fulfilled his duty, but feared these words would co across as boasting, he swallowed them back down.
"Boss, I haven't felt at ease these last few days, like sothing is about to happen. Do you think with such a big commotion from our store's opening, it'll attract other people's envy and bring trouble to us?"
Tang Rao noticed Sun Miao kept pulling at his eyelids, wanting to ask what was up several tis, but before he could, Sun Miao spoke up himself.
