Chapter 53: Cooperating with Yun Shuo

Xu Rixin was stunned: "You mean let Xiao Tian act?"

Xu Tian frowned upon hearing this. How did this involve him?

However, before Xu Tian could ask, Tang Xin smiled and looked at Xu Tian: "Xu Tian, I have already agreed to perform in your company's annual meeting opera, but as a condition, you have to perform with me."

While speaking, Tang Xin walked to Xu Tian's side and was about to wrap her arm around him: "How about it? The two of us standing on the stage, aren't we a match made in heaven?"

Xu Tian hurriedly moved two steps to the side and opened the distance from Tang Xin: "Tang Zong, I can't sing; you should find someone else."

As for Tang Xin, he was avoiding her as much as possible now. If he agreed to perform in an opera with her, he would never be able to shake off this willful and unreasonable Tang family daughter.

Furthermore, going on stage to perform, and dressing as a woman?

He didn't want to provide tea-time conversation for people in the company.

Facing Xu Tian's obvious avoidance, Tang Xin wasn't annoyed but insisted: "No, I think you are the most suitable candidate. You must perform with me."

"Tang Zong, can you be reasonable?" Xu Tian frowned tightly.

"No." Tang Xin raised her lips and smiled: "I have already taken the initiative to agree to help your company, so you, the Vice President, should show something, right?"

"Sorry, I can't perform." Xu Tian still refused.

Even if he were to perform any random role, he wouldn't agree, let alone dressing as a woman. Didn't he have his pride?

"Can't perform? It doesn't matter, I can teach you, and this role is very suitable for you."

As she spoke, Tang Xin pretended to look Xu Tian up and down: "You will definitely look good in a gown."

Xu Tian: "..."

Thanks, I feel offended.

"Xu Zong, what do you think?"

Tang Xin saw that she couldn't persuade Xu Tian, so she shifted her target to Xu Rixin.

Xu Rixin: "..."

He only felt a headache.

Even if he were slow, he could see that Tang Xin was interested in Xu Tian.

Xu Tian was just a loser; why did he get the favor of so many wealthy daughters one after another?

First there was An Rongxuan, and now another Tang Xin.

Not to mention Tang Bingyan, who had always been devoted to Xu Tian.

Was Xu Tian's pretty-boy look that popular?

He had always looked down on Xu Tian's delicate look, feeling that although it was good-looking, it wasn't masculine enough.

But now, women with extraordinary status like An Rongxuan and Tang Xin were throwing themselves at him one after another, which made him a bit jealous.

"Xu Zong?"

Tang Xin frowned unhappily when she saw Xu Rixin not speaking: "I'm asking you a question; do you also think Xu Tian should play this role?"

"Ah... I think it's okay."

Xu Rixin hurriedly suppressed the jealousy surging in his heart, forced a smile, looked at Xu Tian and said: "Xiao Tian, Tang Zong, a big client who doesn't belong to the company's employees, has taken the initiative to help. You, as the company's Vice President, should not push it off even more. Now go prepare, and join the others for rehearsal later."

After speaking, he didn't give Xu Tian a chance to refuse, stood up and walked out while instructing the secretary: "Xiao Li, go find a makeup artist to put makeup on Xiao Tian and do his styling."

Xu Tian looked at Xu Rixin's departing back and was about to chase after him when he saw Xu Rixin's secretary blocking his way.

"Vice President, this is the boss's order; don't make it difficult for us workers."

Xu Rixin's secretary's attitude was cold, and he also looked reluctant.

Following Xu Rixin, he also subtly felt that Xu Tian was a loser, so naturally, he didn't have much good feeling for Xu Tian.

Xu Tian scanned the surroundings and found that many employees were watching the movement here.

Just as Xu Rixin said, Tang Xin, an outsider, had stood up to help temporarily. If he, as the company's Vice President, refused again, it would inevitably be criticized.

However, dressing as a woman, he still found it hard to accept...

He hesitated for a moment, finally sighed, looked at Xu Rixin's secretary and said:

"Makeup is fine, but there can't be anyone around when I put on makeup, and if I go on stage, I want to wear a mask."

Since this matter couldn't be pushed off, he would minimize the loss.

Isn't it just women's clothing? If he wears a mask, even if it spreads, he can deny that it was him.

"That's no problem, I can arrange it!" Before the secretary could speak, Tang Xin agreed readily.

After speaking, while following Xu Rixin's secretary to the top-floor rehearsal hall with Xu Tian, she called her professional styling team that had come from the Imperial Capital.

In less than half an hour, her styling team arrived: makeup artists, costume designers, assistants, and even photographers, a full twenty-something people.

The secretary couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly when he saw this battle formation.

Isn't it just putting on makeup?

With this battle formation, those who didn't know would think it was a wedding!

Xu Tian didn't expect Tang Xin to make such a big deal out of it, and she even let the styling team bring a few sets of costumes for him to choose from.

"Whatever, I don't care."

After speaking, he walked directly into the dressing room that had just been cleared for him next door.

Soon, Tang Xin picked a gorgeous white long dress covered in diamonds for Xu Tian.

Xu Tian sat in the makeup chair and saw the long dress, really feeling a bit desperate...

"Can I... change one?"

Tang Xin curled her lips slowly, revealing two sharp little tiger teeth: "I guarantee, this one is especially suitable for you!"

Xu Tian: "..."

"Miss Tang has a good eye; this one is indeed very suitable."

The male makeup artist Tang Xin found was full of appreciation in his eyes, not knowing whether it was for the dress or for Tang Xin.

Xu Tian: "..."

Fine!

Two against one, he couldn't win.

However, he also knew that even if Tang Xin really agreed to change it, it was impossible to turn women's clothing into men's clothing, so there was no essential difference.

In the end, adhering to the spirit of a man who must do what he says even if he has to kneel, he chose to shut his mouth!

The makeup artist smiled when he saw this, and then used a clip to tuck the broken hair on Xu Tian's forehead behind his ears.

Then, he looked at Xu Tian's perfect hairline, exquisite features, and jade-like skin, and sighed:

"So beautiful!"

Xu Tian: "..."

Xu Tian swore that in his two lives combined, he had never been as speechless as he was today.

The makeup artist didn't care about Xu Tian's even darker face and smiled, continuing:

"Handsome, your current hairstyle doesn't suit you; it covers up all your advantages. I'll redo one for you."

For the next hour or so, Xu Tian resigned himself to his fate and let the makeup artist beside him toss and turn.

Half an hour later, the final styling was completed, and the male makeup artist finally stopped.

He looked at Xu Tian's fully made-up face and was stunned for the first time in his career.

"Too beautiful!"

At this moment, the makeup artist looked at Xu Tian's face, overflowing with amazement.

As a makeup artist taken a fancy to by Tang Xin, he hadn't seen nothing of the world.

Before, he had put makeup on countless stars, but even if their looks were heaven-defying, Liu Yifei, who could be called the top beauty in the entertainment industry, would be eclipsed in front of Xu Tian at this moment.

"Is it done?"

Xu Tian saw that the makeup artist had been looking for a long time without any further action, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Done, done."

The makeup artist replied hurriedly. As he spoke, he looked at the black mask placed on the side and persuaded extremely sincerely:

"Handsome, why don't you not wear the mask! It's too much of a waste to wear it."

Xu Tian looked at himself in the mirror.

Although he didn't want to admit it, it was indeed okay... fine, it was very beautiful.

Even, he somewhat suspected that he could really rely on his face to eat now.

However, he was a big man; being forced to wear women's clothing once was fine, but what was the point of really relying on women's clothing to deceive people?

"Wear it."

Xu Tian said to the makeup artist almost without hesitation.

The makeup artist sighed with regret upon hearing this.

However, hearing Xu Tian's tone, he knew that persuading him further would be useless, so he could only put the mask on him according to Xu Tian's request in the end.

"What a pity..."

The makeup artist looked at the black metal mask covering Xu Tian's best-looking eyebrows and eyes, his expression full of regret.

"Knock knock!"

Just at this moment, the door of the dressing room was knocked from the outside.

Tang Xin's voice came from outside: "Is it done?"

"Done, done!"

The makeup artist hurriedly walked to the door and opened the room door that had been locked by Xu Tian earlier.

Then, everyone at the door saw Xu Tian behind the makeup artist.

"Hiss!"

Even though the mask greatly reduced Xu Tian's looks, even so, Xu Tian's superior lower half of his face still amazed everyone present. ===== CHAPTER 54 =====
