Chapter 736 - This Won’t Be Taken Lying Down (2) (2/2)

Pursing his lips, he used his livelihood’s skills to style Song Jinning. First he did her hair, then makeup, and lastly, skincare for her body. He studied her features. Typically, with Little Ning’s ability, it was a very simple thing to create a makeup look akin to “a plastic surgery effect,” but Song Jinning’s features were impeccable. Little Ning studied her for a long time, and in the end, he only cleaned up her eyebrows a bit. Aside from typical makeup like foundation, blush, and eyeliner, the only other major change he made on Song Jinning’s face was sculpting her eyebrows.

Huo Shaoheng waited outside for more than an hour before Little Ning finally walked out. He said to Huo Shaoheng excitedly, “Chief, can I ask Director Song about her health maintenance secrets if she has some free time in the future?”

Huo Shaoheng was speechless. The door behind him opened, and Song Jinning walked out slowly. In one stunning moment, the air seemed to stop flowing inside the room. Huo Shaoheng’s eyes sparkled as he gave Little Ning a thumbs up. “This is great, Little Ning! This effect is better than expected.”

“Actually, it’s because Director Song has a great foundation. I only did her eyebrows.” Little Ning looked at Song Jinning with a dreamy expression. She was his best work ever.

Huo Shaoheng walked over to tell Song Jinning and said, “Mom, it’s already past 6 pm. I’ll have Fan Jian and Little Ning stay back so they can take you over to the National Center for the Performing Arts. Take my car.” He left behind the pearly blue Bentley Mulsanne for Song Jinning to use and left the Inst.i.tute of High Energy Physics alone with his Bentley Bentayga SUV.

After Huo Shaoheng left, Little Ning went downstairs to find Fan Jian. He saw Fan Jian standing dazedly in front of the pearly blue Bentley Mulsanne, so he patted his shoulder. “Little Fan, why are you s.p.a.cing out?” He then glanced at the Bentley with admiration. “What a good looking car. This is Chief’s own car?”

“These are all Chief’s own cars.” Fan Jian gulped. “I’m actually driving a Bentley Mulsanne today.”

“Just look at your silly face! Don’t embarra.s.s Chief today.” Little Ning was making a guest appearance as Song Jinning’s a.s.sistant today and would be going to the inauguration with her, so Fan Jian would be the driver.

…

Huo Shaoheng drove away from the Inst.i.tute of High Energy Physics and called Yin s.h.i.+xiong on the way. “Big Xiong, do you have plans tonight?”

Yin s.h.i.+xiong was bored at home alone and was about to play online games. When he received Huo Shaoheng’s call, he was very happy and asked, “Chief, what fun are you up to?”

Huo Shaoheng smiled subtly, his voice light and confident. “Do you want to go see Qiqi’s house?”

“Qiqi? Ma Qiqi?” Yin s.h.i.+xiong grinned broadly. “This girl is pretty interesting, but what is it? Chief wants to go?”

“Nianzhi is going to Ma Qiqi’s house for dinner tonight,” Huo Shaoheng said suggestively.

Yin s.h.i.+xiong instantly understood. “Got it. I’ll ask Qiqi.” He ended the call with Huo Shaoheng and immediately sent Ma Qiqi a text to ask her directly, “Qiqi, I’m free today. Can I drop by your house to have some dinner?”

At the same moment, Ma Qiqi, Gu Nianzhi, and He Zhichu were playing poker in the game room on the second floor of her house. Her phone chimed to indicate she had a text. Ma Qiqi quickly glanced at it to see Yin s.h.i.+xiong’s text, then picked it up to read carefully. Hmm? He wants some dinner? Ma Qiqi smiled and sent a big “OK” back.

Yin s.h.i.+xiong got the reply and also smiled. He asked Ma Qiqi for her address and planned a time before he called Huo Shaoheng. “Chief, Qiqi said she’s inviting me for dinner.” He grinned and purposely didn’t mention Huo Shaoheng.

Huo Shaoheng didn’t mind at all. “Ok, I have a car, so I’ll drive you over.” He made it sound like Yin s.h.i.+xiong didn’t have a car!

Yin s.h.i.+xiong was stunned speechless and knew he could never prank Huo Shaoheng. Instead, he would “embarra.s.s himself” in the process! “Chief, hurry and pick me up.” Yin s.h.i.+xiong hung up, exhausted.

…

Ma Qiqi’s house was in the suburbs of the Imperial Capital and wasn’t too far from the Inst.i.tute of High Energy Physics. Huo Shaoheng and Yin s.h.i.+xiong only took half an hour to arrive at her front door.

“Brother Xiong, you’re here!” Hearing the car outside, Ma Qiqi ran out of her house. A silver Bentley SUV was parked on the side of the road by her door, and coming out of the car was not only Yin s.h.i.+xiong but also Huo Shaoheng.
