Chapter 1 001: Getting My Hair Done (New Book, Please Add to Favorites)

Sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains.

Shen Qing slowly opened her eyes, her unfocused gaze gradually focusing—a petite, curvaceous figure was backlit, swaying gently.

A female bodhisattva?
Shen Qing clasped her hands together: "Finally, it's my turn to have this kind of dream!"

Then, he closed his eyes, preparing to feel with his heart.

"Something's wrong!"

"How can dreams feel so real?"

"Which female customer sneaked into my bedroom this time?"

“I remember… yesterday I only served one divorced young woman living in Gubei No. 1. She booked an appointment a month ago so I could do her hair… She’s very beautiful and has a great presence… This figure should be her.”

Not a loss.

Shen Qing readily accepted and enjoyed the experience.

But as soon as the thought crossed my mind, a flood of memories rushed into my head.

"Year 2005?"

"Sprite My Show audition, eliminated in the first round."

"I was drinking alone at a bar when I met Zhang Liangying, who had also failed the audition... After we finished drinking, we went to a cheap hotel that cost 60 yuan a night..."

Shen Qing suddenly sat up in bed, looking around the dimly lit room in disbelief, while the female bodhisattva casually wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Wow, isn't this what happened when I was 18, after I came to Shanghai to participate in the talent show on Dragon TV and failed to pursue my dream? It feels like it happened just yesterday?"

"Could it be... that I've been reborn!?"

Once the idea was conceived, it quickly gained momentum.

Shen Qing was eager to verify.

But he could no longer distinguish between a dream and reality.

In a dark room.

Only the warm touch of the female bodhisattva in his arms could pull Shen Qing back to reality.

Shen Qing moved off the bed, letting her hang on him like a sloth, and pulled open the curtains, letting the morning sunlight stream into the room like a waterfall.

outside the window.

A bustling street scene came into view.

On the rooftop of a building not far away, the slogan "Revitalize China" is particularly eye-catching; on the ground floor diagonally opposite, a KFC 15-yuan meal advertisement is eye-catching; and several migrant workers are queuing at a red public telephone booth by the roadside.

The pedestrians coming and going on the street all had thick hair. Every now and then, a few young men and women would pass by, looking both dowdy and trendy, wearing low-rise pants with belts and permed bangs...

Directly below the window, a Jinbei van slowly drove by, trailing black smoke, suddenly blared its horn, snapping Shen Qing out of her daze. "Ha, it really is 2005..."

For some reason, I feel a little excited.

Although Shen Qing had already done quite well in his previous life, and was a well-known figure in Shanghai's hairdressing industry, people who wanted to get their hair cut by him were already queuing up for two months.

The income is substantial, exceeding 20 yuan per month.

Not only did he buy a large house in Shanghai, but he also drove his dream BMW X5. It can be said that he is neither rich nor poor.

However, his love life has been unsuccessful, and he remains single until 2025 when he is 38 years old.

It's not that there aren't women, but rather that there are too many women.

His daily clients are all top beauties from all walks of life, including celebrities in the entertainment industry, such as Yang Mi and Nazha, who are Shen Qing's long-time clients.

Shen Qing is handsome, which attracts his female clients. Often, after finishing his haircut, he would go straight to the bedroom to continue working on it, resulting in a constant stream of romantic opportunities. Few respectable girls could tolerate the nature of his work.

As a result, Shen Qing took the initiative to place a single person.

now.

Shen Qing was very excited to be back in 2005.

But what he was thinking about wasn't dating or marriage, but rather the career that men prefer—in his past life he drove a BMW X5, and in this life, he wants to buy 100 Rolls-Royces to collect dust in the garage.

Thinking of this, Shen Qing was extremely excited.

He glanced down at the fair-skinned female bodhisattva, placed her on the windowsill, and after seeing her face clearly, Shen Qing's lips curled up, "Liangying, it's my turn!"

……

Several tens of minutes later, Shen Qing got dressed and sat on the sofa.

Zhang Liangying was quite tired. She leaned on the headboard and looked at Shen Qing with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

Shen Qing: "I'm leaving."

Zhang Liangying: "Can you please not leave..."

Shen Qing: "I was eliminated from 'My Show,' and my dream of becoming a star was shattered. If I don't leave... am I supposed to study music with you? I'll look forward; I'm going to start my own business." Zhang Liangying was very upset when talking about 'My Show.'

This is a singing talent show co-produced by Dragon TV and Universal Music, and sponsored by companies such as Sprite and Leica.

It started last year.

The first champion was Zhang Jie.

Later, Qi Wei, Xue Zhiqian, Liu Wei, Yuan Chengjie and others also emerged.

Without exception, these people are very 'trendy' in appearance and temperament, at least in this era.

This is also the selection principle of "My Style, My Show".

Shen Qing has the looks, but his singing is really bad, so it's understandable that he was eliminated.

But the reason Zhang Liangying was rejected was very hurtful.

Although her singing skills were good, her unfashionable appearance disliked the judges, and she was eliminated by Xu Zhiwei in the audition stage due to "image and musical style issues".

See, it's not that the rapping is bad, it's a problem with the image and musical style...

Naked contempt!

This incident became an unforgettable experience for Zhang Liangying.

Even years later, Zhang Liangying was still very upset when talking about why she was rejected.

earth……

He actually called me unsophisticated!

So abominable.

Zhang Liangying suddenly sat up, the blanket slipped off, and she faced Shen Qing with meticulous attention to detail, "Shen Qing, do I really look that unsophisticated?"

Shen Qing failed in a talent show in his previous life, so he became an apprentice at a hair salon. From his perspective, which he had worked in the hairdressing industry for 20 years, Zhang Liangying was indeed not fashionable enough.

It's not that she's bad-looking, but that she doesn't know how to dress herself.

Or perhaps, Zhang Liangying simply hasn't found a hairstyle and makeup style that suits her.

Zhang Liangying's makeup and styling at the audition that day were really too casual.

With shoulder-length, side-swept bangs, a gray long-sleeved T-shirt, low-waisted jeans, and white sneakers, she came to the competition with just a touch of moisturizer... Few people could pull off this kind of outfit.

"to be honest?"

"Yes, I'm willing to hear the truth from you."

"It is indeed a bit rustic."

"Woooooooo..."

"Don't cry, you actually have a lot of room for improvement."

Zhang Liangying sniffed, wiped away her tears, and asked with a wronged expression, "How can I change it? I've already put so much effort into dressing up..."

Shen Qing shrugged.

She looks worse than if she didn't dress up at all.

The grandmas in my hometown village dress more fashionably than you.

Seeing Shen Qing's indifferent attitude, Zhang Liangying felt a pang of sadness again, wiping away her tears as she sobbed, her two little white rabbits trembling slightly.

"Actually, besides being able to sing, I'm also a highly skilled makeup artist. If you trust me, I can give you a makeover."

"Really...really?"

"Of course, we're like fish and water, I wouldn't lie to you."

Her face flushed, and she nodded, saying:
"Let's go out for lunch first, then we can go buy clothes, and then you can cut my hair? I'm thinking... I'm going to Sichuan tomorrow to participate in the Super Girl auditions..."

Super Girl?

I remembered.

The 2005 Super Girl competition was arguably the most popular talent show in the country, bar none.

Countless enthusiastic fans took to the streets to campaign for their favorite idols.

Back then, how many people secretly used their parents' phones to send text messages to support their favorite singers?

Li Yuchun, Zhou Bichang, Zhang Liangying, He Jie...

Familiar names, one by one.

They are all singers from this year's competition.

Shen Qing smiled, and an idea suddenly came to him. He stood up and picked Zhang Liangying up from the bed: "Don't go to Chuancheng, it's not suitable for you there."
