by Priest on Jinjiang Literature City]

[Episode 8]

Jiang Xiaoyuan.

Have you been practicing here all night?

I don't know which step went wrong.

They always look different.

Oh, my god.

Things can't be accomplished in one go.

And you really don't have to
use so many mannequin heads.

If not for our friendship,
I'd deduct that money from your salary.

But where exactly did I go wrong?

You don't have to think about that now.

This won't work.

Learning requires consistent effort.

You can't exhaust your energy all at once.

You go home and get some sleep.

Now!

Leave them there. I'll tidy up later.

OK.

What a silly girl.

These are ten mannequin heads.

Jiang Xiaoyuan!

Jiang Xiaoyuan!

Exactly.

I don't know what's wrong with her.
She must pass the test in one month.

That girl's so stubborn.

She doesn't listen to me.

Oh, my goodness.

Well, you had a fever of 39 degrees.
Don't you feel that?

How long have I slept?

- I need to go practice.
- What? You...

You wait. Stop.

Skills aren't developed this way.

- But I have to go to work.
- You have some rest, please.

I'll give you two days off.
Take care of your health first.

You're so sick right now.
You can't go practice like this. Understand?

I can take some medicine.

I have nothing left now.

I don't want others to think
that my existence is unnecessary.

I must excel to avoid being overlooked.

Hey, Xiaoyuan.

What are you talking about?

I noticed you haven't been well lately.
What's going on?

It's not a big deal. You can just tell me.

I'm right here. I'll help you out.

You don't want to hear what's on my mind.

Nobody in this world cares about me.

If you know I'm not that Jiang Xiaoyuan,
you'll hate me just like Qi Lian does.

What's on earth is going on?

Maybe I should have Qi Lian
come over and check on you?

Don't tell him.

Alright.

Then promise me you'll take good rest at home.

I'm off to the salon.

Sure, go ahead. I can take good care of myself.

What are you doing here?

For dinner.

Get out with your food.

Even if you don't want to eat,

her body needs nutrition.

And don't make me repeat myself.

Eat.

Is it worth starving yourself just to be mad at them?

Why do both of you like acting on tough?

Take a good look at who's in front of you.

Eat.

Eat!

Alright, you brought this upon yourself.

Leave me alone.

Don't touch me!

You only know how to bully me.
Why not go and figure things out!

You know that I should not be blamed
for space traveling.

Why take it out on me?

Hello.

Grandma Jiang.

Jiang Xiaoyuan.

Grandma Jiang fell seriously ill this afternoon
and has been urgently...

taken to the hospital.

Luckily, she pulled through.

Can you give her a call?

Consider it a comfort for her.

I comfort her,

but who comforts me?

Xiaoyuan has worked hard and endured much
for her grandma's medical bills.

I don't want her years of efforts
to end with regrets between them.

So, it is a request from me.

You've used her body, now just do her a favor.

Is that okay?

I can't do that.

I have never met my grandmother.

I have never experienced her love.

I don't even know how to get along with her.

Can't help you.

I grew up alone.

My parents didn't care about me.

Hi, I'm back.

Okay,

I understand.

Xiaoyuan.

Growing up alone is not easy. I know that feeling.

I'm sorry for my attitude.

I can't ask for your help.

Just hoping you could give it another thought.

Just this time,

okay?

Hi, Qi.

Did you find Xiaoyuan?

Grandma...

Xiaoyuan.

Xiaoyuan, is that you?

Yes. Xiaoyuan is here.

Xiaoyuan, we haven't spoken for a long time.

Is everything okay?

Grandma,

I'm good over here.

Don't worry about me.

Did you catch a cold?
Your voice sounds really hoarse.

Have you been eating well?

Don't have too much takeout food.

Remember to get enough sleep.
Cut down on your drinking.

Put on more clothes. It's cold. Got it?

You really need to listen up and take care of yourself.

Otherwise, when you're as old as me,
you'll go through a lot troubles.

Grandma,

how are you feeling now?

Do you feel better?

I'm fine, really.

Don't worry. I'm more worried about you.

Xiaoyuan, I know you best.

You always love to to challenge
and can be quite stubborn.

I've told you this many times.

But you don't listen to me.

If you don't want to do the current work,
then come back.

Come back home.

No matter what you encounter,

no matter how you change,
you'll always be my dearest granddaughter.

Remember,

don't be afraid.

Grandma is always here for you, sweetie.

Grandma, take care of yourself.

Yes, I... I'm good.

OK, I'll stop talking.

Get to your work quickly. I know you're busy.

Call me when you're free, sweetie.

OK. Goodbye, Grandma.

I'm looking for the way to send you back.

But it might take some time.

So,

I'm afraid you should prepare for a longer stay here.

Besides Grandma Jiang,
you might run into some people she knows.

That's okay.

Don't stress too much about the junior stylist test.

No need to push yourself too hard.

♫ Can you hear me ♫

♫ Walking through the forest, lost in thrall? ♫

I'm not trying to show off.

I want to take the test not for you or her.

I'm doing this to prove myself.

♫ In dreams where you reside ♫

♫ Where comedy and tragedy collide ♫

♫ Is there a trace? ♫

♫ Can you hear me ♫

♫ I can hear you breathe ♫

♫ In the emptiness that I weave ♫

♫ A journey to find myself, conceive ♫

[Fashion Hairdressing Salon]

Why are you here? Is your fever gone?

Yes, boss.

I want to do more practice.

You don't have to practice it today.

It's almost time to close.

Oh, right.

Here is the thing.

I won't regret this.

I just feel that these mannequin heads
are not cheap. Don't let it be for nothing.

And also, do you know what's the most important
in dynamic edge cutting?

The edge.

When that snip goes down,
it'll be too late to make adjustments.

Edge cutting is making
subtle adjustments to the hair.

You should use your index finger
to control the hair strands.

With your so-called skills,

you're burning through these heads
than I can keep up with.

Anyway, I'll not buy new ones after these are done.

See you.

Mr. Qi, the promotion test is tomorrow.

Are you coming over?

That girl works really hard lately.

I won't go. I believe you can do it.

I have to say you've been really odd recently.

You used to be at our salon all the time.

It's been a while, hasn't it?

Come on, please come. Help me out a bit.

You don't have to play favorites.

Just some encouragement and support would be fine.

Never mind.

She might not want to see me.

Are people in love always so stubborn?

If she doesn't want to see you,
just be humble and go see her.

Why am I talking to a wall?

[Fashion Hairdressing Salon]

[Internal assessment in progress today]

[Closed for the day]

Just got a message from HQ.

The assessment is shifted from
promotion to an elimination system.

Only the top scorer gets promoted.

- Elimination?
- Of course, the content is the same.

It's still two parts, evaluating everyone on
basic theoretical knowledge and practical skills.

As of 9 PM yesterday,
I've only received sign-ups from the four of you.

I'm aware of the capabilities among some of you.

But I appreciate your commitment and participation.

Each of you will have
a different test paper with ten questions.

Listen, Don't cheat by exchanging answers.

Everyone's exam paper is different from others.

You'll have 15 minutes for the test. Starting now.

Sorry, I'm late.

No problem. It just started.

[Test for Junior Stylists]

Ling, lend me a hand. Help me lift this table.

Since when did you boss me around?

Well, who didn't take the test are all...

Shut up!

Scores are out.

If you didn't get 70% correct,
you can't take the next practical round.

Next, I'll announce the scores.

Fang,

you got three questions right.

Only three...

Li,

you got six of them right.

What a pity. Just one short.

Boss, why did you give such tough questions?

I thought you'd test us something from the textbook.

Stop talking.

The rules are fair for everyone.

Let's continue.

K,

full score.

- Great!
- Wow!

- Good for you, K.
- That's excellent.

Jiang Xiaoyuan,

also a full score.

How is that possible?

Mr. Chen.

I don't think Jiang Xiaoyuan's score is convincing.

What if her seat was tampered with before the test?

She might cheat in that way.

That's nonsense. She wrote her paper under your eyes.

Please continue.

OK. Let's go on.

Following the rules,

K and Jiang Xiaoyuan entered
the section of practical skills testing.

In this section,

both of you will get a live model and a testing card

with the basic requirements for a specific hairstyle.

In two hours,

complete the final look, taking into account
the model's individual features.

Remember, this round only has one winner.

Two hours for a basic hairstyle?

Boss, are you intentionally cutting some slack?

You bet.

No, I'm not. This is HQ's decision.

Li and Fang, you are the models.

Here.

Any questions?

[Practical Testing Card]

That's too hard.

Oh, that's not good.

Boss, is there any chance
you put the cards for senior stylists in it?

Let me see.

Well, that's the right card.

Again, listen up.

Firstly, complete your work based
on the model's personal features.

Secondly, each of you has two hours.

Now, the test begins.

- Helen, cover me for a while.
- Sure.

Mr. Qi, this way please.

I'd like to talk to you.

What are you waiting for? Hurry up!

Let's go wash your head.

[Fashion Hairdressing Salon]

Tell me, what are you thinking about?

You changed the question cards.

Those are questions for selecting senior stylists.

What on earth do you want to do?

Since she wants to prove herself,

we have to ensure absolute fairness.

This is good for everyone.

What if she fails?

Do you really think she can pass it?

Of course she can pass the test.

She is smart. She works so hard.

Plus...

Plus the questions I gave her this time
are her specialties.

She'll definitely pass it.

That's exactly what I'm afraid of.

It's very kind of you to let her stay.

As for the future works, we will follow the rules.

Fengni, look at K.

She is so fast.

This timing is spot-on. I think K will win.

But check her out. Jiang Xiaoyuan is quite something.

Don't you think...

she's a bit slow?

She is a green hand. You can see that.

You see, Mr. Chen usually takes such good care of her.

Once it gets practical, it just...

Shows her true colors.

She did reach this level in such a short time.

Is it hot to you?

What should we do now?

Usually, we could quickly fix it for customers.

But it's a test. There's no time.

I'll have a date tonight. How can I go out with it?

How come the curling iron
break down at this moment?

Hurry up, there's only five minutes left.

Jiang Xiaoyuan is so careless.
She didn't even check the curling iron.

What a pity.

Li, can I use your silk scarf?

- For what?
- You'll know later.

Thanks.

Who do you think looks better, Li or Fang?

I prefer Li.

Do you? Me too.

Her silk scarf...

What are you talking about?
Do you have a sense of aesthetics?

- What did you...
- What?

Be quiet.

Stop that.

Jiang Xiaoyuan, tell us why did you do it this way.

Li told me that she'll have a date with
her boyfriend at a Western restaurant.

Considering the setting, vibe, and her personality,

I think and elegant and cute look suits her better

rather than the playgirl's style in the picture.

Playgirl's style?

I think that's cute.

Moreover, her face is a bit round
with a slightly high hairline.

Her forehead is a bit wide.

So, I elevated the height of her hair
at the top of her head,

refining her facial proportions.

I also gave her see-through bangs
for partial forehead coverage.

And finally, I used this silk scarf
to create a subtle front-to-back depth,

which we can see that her face looks smaller.

No kidding, her face really looks smaller now.

- Did you catch that?
- No, I didn't.

But I think what she said makes a lot of sense.

In a nutshell, what I did was maximize her strengths.

Helen, what do you say?

Well, as you asked, I have to say
that this look is really good.

But Jiang Xiaoyuan's mistake is also quite obvious.

I don't think cutting corners should be promoted.

Cutting corners?

The requirements are based on
hair perming and personal features.

In the end, we provide them
with the most suitable look.

Is this hairstyle not suitable for Li?

No, it suits.

But the focus of test for junior stylists
is basic skills.

But this is a test for junior stylists.

In that case, advanced hair perming works
should not be included.

I agree with Helen.

This hairstyle is not bad.

But there is a noticeable mistake in the hair perming.

If it's a promotion system,
I can let you pass this round.

But there's only one slot.

And K's performance is clearly better than yours.

I'm sorry.

You don't pass.

I declare that the winner...

is K.

Honestly, I think Li's hairstyle is great.

[Fashion Hairdressing Salon]

Qi Lian! Wait!

What? Do you want to push me into letting you pass?

Admitting I'm better than you thought
must be tough for you.

Do you really believe that
achieving the current level within one month

is entirely due to your own efforts?

Chen Fangzhou is always busy with work.

Why would he bother to teach you?
You really have no idea?

Are you saying that Chen Fangzhou taught me
out of consideration of you?

Alright, I see.

You always look down on me.

You think I'm not as good as
that Jiang Xiaoyuan in everything.

Even if I make a small achievement,

you still feel like I'm taking advantage
of what was supposed to be hers.

Qi Lian, you are super narrow-minded.

That's how you see me.

Or how should I see you?

Jiang Xiaoyuan, you are not the only one in the test.

Rules are fair to everyone.

K fulfilled all of the requirements, so she passed.

I made the decision based on what I thought
was the most appropriate.

If you pass, would that be fair to her?

Whatever you say.

But I'm sure that without your favor,
I can still achieve something.

We'll see.
