Baguettes and Macarons

=========================

"Thank you for your cold joke, Mr. Baguette." Yu Chen replied coldly.

Chloe slapped the table vigorously: "Hahahahahaha, baguette! Well said, Yu——"

"Asdale." Yu Chen reminded.

"Oh, well said, Asdair. You're right, he's a stick. I didn't expect you to look like a serious professor, but I like it so much."

"Thank you for your appreciation, can we talk about business now?"

It was only then that Chloe remembered that she was here for styling, and quickly sat down and put her chin on the table: "Then what are we going to do now, shall we dye our hair first?"

"Before that, I need to know about your situation, Miss Brown." Yu Chen took out a small notebook from his briefcase, "May I ask, how old are you?"

Chloe waved her hand: "I'm 19 years old. I know your next sentence will definitely ask me why I don't go to college, ah, I just don't want to study anyway, so I'm working as a car mechanic now, and I can earn a salary."

Yu Chen then asked: "So, how much is your monthly income?"

"It's about fifteen hundred euros, and that's the lowest..."

"The minimum income standard is similar to SMIC." Yu Chen kept writing, "Then, apart from rent and food expenses, how much is your excess disposable income every month?"

"It's only three or four hundred euros, so brother, you have to find a way to save me money."

Yu Chen said with a smile: "Yes, I will choose the plan that best suits your financial situation, and help you choose a look that costs about [-] Euros a month. Of course, the final price of the first design may be slightly higher, because it will include some The cost of haircuts and cosmetics is about [-] Euros, can you accept it?"

"Then plus the money I gave you, it will be four hundred and five." Chloe said, "It's a bit expensive, can't it be cheaper?"

Yu Chen said: "This is already the most cost-effective solution. If you want to reduce the cost, it may lead to unsatisfactory styling. Especially the expenditure on haircuts and makeup, I think it is very important, because these two items are affected by the price. It is very obvious, and at the same time, if the quality of perm, dye and makeup products is not good, it will also affect your health. If you can’t accept it, I won’t do this design, because I will be responsible for your health.”

"Okay, I just want to drink less alcohol this month. But if I'm not satisfied with the effect, I'll find someone to beat you up, understand?"

Yu Chen pushed his glasses: "If you are really dissatisfied, I can rework. But I don't accept the subjective statement of 'I'm not satisfied'. Please tell me the specific reasons for your dissatisfaction. Do you agree?"

"Okay, then let's go to the mall now? Especially when you said I want to change my makeup? Are you dissatisfied with the makeup I'm using now?"

"I'm not dissatisfied, I just feel that there is a lipstick color that suits you better. You are wearing a pinkish orange, right?"

"Yes."

"This color is similar to your natural lip color, and it doesn't match your overall handsome style. This color is warmer, and people with pink skin will look dull when applied. I think we can try a cooler pink or Bean paste color, it should have unexpected good effect. Also, can you stand up for a while?"

Chloe jumped up: "What's the matter, what's the matter?"

"Well, your long T-shirt and boots are stacked together, making it look like your legs are only 1.7 centimeters. But in fact, you are about [-] meters tall, and your legs should be about one meter long, right?"

Louis: "Hehe."

Chloe's eyes widened: "Are you saying that I can't wear a long jacket and boots? Wouldn't that make me uncool?"

Yu Chen opened the Zaobao: "Of course you can wear them all, but you have to match them well. In fact, the rough design prototype in my mind is also applied to the long windbreaker, mid-boots, and long boots. But pay special attention to these two The collocation and distribution of color blocks...what's wrong?"

"I don't seem to understand what you're saying."

"It's okay, let's do it later." Yu Chen picked up the teacup, "Do you mind waiting for me to finish this cup of tea first?"

Chloe picked up the baguette and put it under her arm: "Then you drink it first. I'll take this Louis Legrand to my parents' house. You can't take him with you when you go shopping."

Yu Chen couldn't help laughing: "Then I'll wait for you at Mr. Baguette's shop over here."

When Chloe hurried out of the bakery, Louis pulled his face down: "Don't call me baguette again."

"What's the matter, does this word have any special meaning?" Yu Chen asked puzzled.

"You don't need to know, just stop calling in the future."

Yu Chen sipped his black tea: "If you don't call me Rachel, I usually wouldn't take the initiative to call you that."

"What's wrong with Rachel?" Louie said. "If I were Jacob, I'd choose her too."

"Who?"

"fine."

Yu Chen was silent for a moment, and asked, "Are you talking about... Jacob and Rachel (Rachel) in the myth? Do you have anything else to say?"

"It's nothing, just thinking about it, the name Rachel can't be called by everyone."

Because Rachel was the best wife to Jacob.Louis lowered his head to cut the dough, and decided not to say this now.

Fortunately, Chloe came back not long after, and Yu Chen didn't bother with this endless story any longer. He got up and picked up his briefcase and said, "Shall we drive?"

Chloe came in with two motorcycle helmets in her arms: "No need, there must be a traffic jam near the shopping center on Saturday today. Motorcycles can pass by, but cars must be blocked. Besides, car parking is so expensive, I don't know. Can't pay for your parking."

Yu Chen declined, "But I'm a little bit concerned about the safety of people on motorcycles..."

Chloe grabbed his arm and dragged it out: "Stop talking nonsense, let's go!"

"Wait a minute, I still don't feel safe."

Chloe is a full 1.7 meters tall, and wearing high heels, she looks about the same height as Yu Chen. Grabbing him is like catching a chicken.Yu Chen struggled to no avail, and was dragged out the door.

"Hey, Chloe." Louis walked out of the counter quickly and grabbed Yu Chen's other arm, "You can't force others to ride a motorcycle. If there is an accident, can you be responsible?"

"Ouch, I won't kill your boyfriend." Chloe scratched her braids, "You two are so troublesome! Okay, just drive, is it okay to drive?"

Yu Chen cast a grateful look at Louis: "Thank you, Monsieur Legrand."

Louis clicked his tongue and said, "You should learn to be tougher from time to time. To deal with this kind of crazy woman, just roll up your sleeves and fight."

Yu Chen gave a low laugh, and turned to Chloe: "Then Miss Brown, can we go to the largest Shenyu Department Store in this city?"

"I don't care, anyway, I usually go shopping at Zara."

"To tell you the truth, I intend to choose clothes chiefly in this and similar shops today."

"Huh? Although I like to visit his house, the styles are very ordinary. Can I really become a movie star?"

Louie interjected, "It doesn't matter if the clothes look good or not, he can still turn into a zombie."

Yu Chen quickly explained: "Even ordinary clothes will have different effects under the influence of the overall collocation, accessories, and makeup. Let's go to the department store and talk about it while picking it out?"

Louis suddenly thought of one thing: "Wait a minute! Tell me your phone number."

Yu Chen was stunned for a moment, took out a business card holder from his pocket, and took out a business card for him: "This has a mobile phone number written on it."

Louis clicked his tongue: "It's such a trouble, why don't you just say no?"

"I didn't remember my mobile phone number." Yu Chen said shyly, "Then if I can't make it back before four o'clock, I'll give you a call. By the way, what's for afternoon tea?"

"Eat a slice of brioche baguette."

"See you soon."

Chloe snapped her fingers and said maliciously, "Okay, then I'll bring him back in the afternoon and let him eat baguettes."

Louis raised his foot and kicked her: "Shut up! Get out!"

As soon as the two went shopping, they didn't come back until four o'clock in the afternoon. Yu Chen called him: "Excuse me, Mr. Legrand, I will accompany Miss Chloe to get a manicure, it may take a long time Afterwards, I will go to my studio headquarters near the cosmetics store to do her makeup, complete the final look, and then choose the corresponding cosmetics to go back. It may not be until dinner time.”

Louis was using his old notebook to browse the tourist guide website, picking out the most suitable scenic spots for traveling in April, and it was not too surprising to hear him say this, he said with a cigarette in his mouth, "Okay, I'm going to eat baguette anyway, save it for dinner Bar."

"thank you very much."

"Compared with this, where do you prefer to go? The beach, the mountains, or go skiing?"

"Wouldn't it be dangerous to go skiing now?"

"Well, if you don't ski, there's nothing wrong with just looking at the snow scenery..."

A drawn-out female voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone: "Ah, Si, Dai, Er, come here soon~"

Louis snapped his notebook shut and stood up: "Where are you? Send me your location."

"hurry up!"

"Okay, I'll text you when I hang up, but what happened?"

"Anyway, that woman is doing manicure, so you have nothing to do. I'll send you your afternoon tea."

"Thank you for your hard work. We are near our Shenyu Department Store, a nail club that is easy to find. I will send you the address right away."

Although Louis got the address, it took a lot of effort to find the nail salon he sent over by transferring to the bus and light rail.This store is located near Shenyu Department Store. It is a street store. The decoration is very fresh and cute, but it doesn't look special.

"Mr. Legrand, let's go." Yu Chen stood at the door waiting for him, and when he saw him coming, he suggested.
