Lin Jie woke up from his dream again. It was nearly eleven o'clock in the morning!
After eating, he didn't go to the gym. He just did some exercises at home, then did housework, washed clothes, and dawdled until after two in the afternoon when Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly rushed back.
As soon as she got home, she grabbed Lin Jie and pulled him outside!
"Ah Jie, I watched you try on your new clothes last night, and something just didn't feel right. Today it suddenly hit me!"
"Your hairstyle, it's too outdated and plain! I'm taking you to a hair salon now to give you a proper makeover!"
Lin Jie felt this was unnecessary and said, "Xiaoxiao, I just had a haircut two weeks ago, my hair isn't even long yet; it's not time for another one!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Jie's head and disdainfully said, "With that 20 yuan haircut, it only matches your market stall clothes; it doesn't go with the outfit I gave you!"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and come with me!"
Lin Jie, helpless, had to follow Zhang Xiaoxiao to a nearby hair salon he had never been to which was very luxuriously decorated.
Zhang Xiaoxiao directly brought over a hair stylist with a multicolored hairstyle to Lin Jie, asking him to design a truly handsome hairstyle that also showcases depth for Lin Jie.
The hairstylist circled around Lin Jie, scrutinizing him from every angle for over ten minutes without starting anything!
Lin Jie thought he was having a hard time, said lightly, "Just trim it a bit so it looks presentable!"
"NO! NO!"
The hairstylist shook his head in discontent!
"To me, 'presentable' is the lowest standard, it's an insult to my personal skills, I am trying to find the highlights in you!"
"But honestly, you confuse me a bit."
He held his chin, staring into Lin Jie's eyes with a puzzled expression, "I see a mix of innocence and maturity, caution and confidence in you!"
"This is really intriguing, making it hard for me to decide! Are you a high school student or a university student?"
Lin Jie was taken aback and immediately stopped underestimating this hairstylist!
The former him lived cautiously, living each day like it was his last, just like a monk hitting the bell each day dutifully.
But now, with Shen Lanruo in his heart, not only had he gained a new life, it also gave him the confidence to survive, armed with unrivaled medical knowledge!
He didn't expect this hairstylist to have the skill to notice his profound transformation, Lin Jie said softly, "You might find it hard to believe, but I'm not a student, you can consider me a doctor!"
"Also, I'm going to a friend's birthday party tonight!"
"Got it! Hmm… I have an idea!"
The hairstylist seemed to have found inspiration and started working on Lin Jie's hair, snipping away non-stop!
After over an hour of meticulous work, Lin Jie finally got off the barber chair!
Examining himself closely in the mirror, Lin Jie felt for the first time that the guy in the mirror looked quite okay!
Zhang Xiaoxiao appeared behind Lin Jie, nodded in satisfaction, and praised, "Not bad, really not bad; you put some effort into your appearance and you're at least an eighty-five points little handsome guy, almost a fresh-faced heartthrob!"
"Pff, in the future I'll rely on my skills to earn a living, not my looks!"
Though Lin Jie was quite satisfied with the new hairstyle, the sight of the bill with the numbers on it made him want to curse and hit someone!
598 yuan!
Isn't this a ripoff?
Seeing Lin Jie's expression change, Zhang Xiaoxiao immediately noticed the problem and quickly whispered to persuade, "He's a slightly famous hairstylist, this price is justified, it's not a scam!"
Hearing Zhang Xiaoxiao say this, Lin Jie had to suppress his heartache, unhappily paid the bill, and even the nice hairstyle didn't look as good as before, feeling a bit resentful towards Zhang Xiaoxiao!
Zhang Xiaoxiao hastened her pace, caught up with Lin Jie, who was sulking while walking, and said, "Ah Jie, the higher-level the gathering, the more they judge by appearance, and the more they pay attention to details!"
"With a wardrobe worth several thousand yuan, and a twenty yuan haircut on your head, many people can instantly tell you're a country bumpkin sneaking in! Once you're packaged, pursue perfection; you've already spent thousands, why care about a few hundred more?"
"Moreover…"
Zhang Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then said, "I feel you're very different from before, how long has it been since the surgery, and just from gratitude you've already received over a million!"
"Last night you went out and came back with thirty thousand in cash gifts and luxury goods worth two to three thousand more!"
"It shows that the people you associate with are no longer ordinary folks like neighborhood residents but a higher social circle!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao earnestly advised, "Lin Jie, if you want to fully integrate into this circle, you need to elevate your taste in clothing and other aspects, otherwise you will be ostracized and looked down upon!"
