Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 167 The Great Transformation of a Virtuous Man

"Personal charm... Are you sure you have that?" Yifei asked.

Zeng Xiaoxian's eyes widened: "You think I lack personal charm?"

Yifei pointed to the others: "Why don't you ask them?"

Zeng Xiaoxian's gaze swept over the others, and everyone whose gaze fell upon him lowered their heads in embarrassment.

[In his inner world, Zeng Xiaoxian knelt on the ground in despair, looking up to the sky and letting out a long howl.]

Good heavens, do my best friends really think I lack personal charm?

"You might as well just strike me dead with lightning!"

As soon as Xiaoxian finished speaking, lightning flashed and thunder roared across the sky.

[Oh God, I was just kidding, please don't take it seriously!]

"This won't work, that won't work, so what should I do?" Zeng Xiaoxian sighed dejectedly.

For a moment, no one really had a good solution, since enhancing personal charm is not something that can be accomplished in such a short time.

If it were possible, there wouldn't be so many young men and women in the world still single.

Yu Mo carefully examined Zeng Xiaoxian: "Actually, Teacher Zeng has a very good foundation. He is tall and has regular features."

"His body proportions are weird. His torso is too long and his legs are too short. Plus, he has a kind of sly look in his eyes."

"I don't know exactly how radio stations attract sponsors or what they talk about, but Teacher Zeng probably won't spend too much time with the sponsors."

"If it's just a temporary act, as long as his sleazy nature isn't exposed, we can give Teacher Zeng a complete makeover. Who knows, we might actually fool the sponsors at first glance."

Everyone's eyes lit up, clearly enlightened by Yu Mo's words.

Permanently increasing Zeng Xiaoxian's charm is certainly an extremely difficult task, but if it's just to put on a show in front of sponsors, it doesn't seem impossible...

Anyway, by the time Zeng Xiaoxian's secret is exposed, the payment for his services will have already been deposited into the radio station's account.

"That's right. Even Ziqiao can put on a sanctimonious act, so why can't we fake Zeng Xiaoxian as a charismatic radio host?"

Yifei's words directly offended two people.

Lu Ziqiao, looking displeased, said, "What do you mean by 'Even Ziqiao can put on a sanctimonious act'?"

Zeng Xiaoxian was even more aggrieved: "What do you mean by 'faking being a highly charismatic radio host'?"

"Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Yifei raised her eyebrows, and the two of them immediately deflated like wilted eggplants.

Nanfeng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, saying, "If it's just to appease the sponsors, we can give Teacher Zeng a major makeover in terms of his appearance, demeanor, conversation skills, and professional abilities. Who knows, that might actually give him a strong performance in his year-end evaluation!"

Zeng Xiaoxian was initially delighted, but then hesitated: "Wouldn't what we're doing be considered fraud?"

"See? I'm absolutely right," Yifei said, exasperated.

"He always gets all cocky when things are still in the early stages, but when it really comes down to it, he starts to get scared and run away."

Ziqiao patted Zeng Xiaoxian, who was always hesitant and indecisive, and began to feed him his half-true, half-false inspirational words.

"Teacher Zeng, how can this be considered fraud? At most, we are just helping you with packaging."

"In this day and age, as long as it's well packaged, even a broken eyebrow pencil can sell for tens of yuan."

"Not to mention that your professional skills are not bad to begin with (it's just that you can't bring them out).

"No matter how we change you, you're still you. We're just helping to amplify your (not very bright) strengths."

Ziqiao pointed to the three stunningly beautiful girls on the field and said, "If you think this is a scam, we can call the police right now and have all three of them arrested."

"Especially Chen Meijia, a life sentence wouldn't be excessive!"

The three women were stunned by Lu Ziqiao's words.

Yu Mo asked timidly, "How did we commit fraud?"

"Foundation, eyeliner, false eyelashes, lipstick, blush, and daily disposable contact lenses—wouldn't you call that fraud?"

Ziqiao glanced at Chen Meijia's bulging chest and couldn't help but smile: "Especially you, Chen Meijia, just how many pads did you wear today?"

Meijia clutched her chest, glaring fiercely at Ziqiao: "Mind your own business! Can't I have a second growth spurt?"

In her inner world, Mika suddenly swung her baseball bat and sent Lu Ziqiao flying.

[She brandished a baseball bat and snapped: "You talk too much!"]

[I only used six foam pads!]

[After being hit by a baseball bat and landing on the ground, Ziqiao silently raised one hand and asked: "Was it a pair that had six pads, or were there six pads on each one?"]

【Lu Ziqiao!!!】

【ah!!!】

[Meijia swung her baseball bat and unleashed a barrage of blows on Ziqiao, beating him until he couldn't even make a sound. Only then did Meijia raise the bat and threaten a trembling pigeon.]

What are you looking at! Don't laugh!

[This section is not allowed!]

"Teacher Zeng, look, Meijia has even convinced herself of her scam," Ziqiao sneered.

Meijia was so angry she wanted to bite him, wishing she could find a baseball bat and beat Ziqiao to a pulp.

Nanfeng also advised, "Teacher Zeng, you're practically part of the entertainment industry, don't you know what image packaging is?"

"As long as it doesn't ruin one's public image or break the law, it's all considered normal business practice."

"Some top actresses have sons who are already in their twenties, yet they still claim to be single in public, don't they?"

"A top actress? Who?!" Upon hearing such explosive gossip, Meijia forgot all her anger towards Ziqiao and asked impatiently with wide eyes.

Zeng Xiaoxian scolded Meijia: "Meijia, stop being so gossipy!"

Then he changed his expression and said to Nanfeng, "Nanfeng, why don't you tell me secretly? I'm much more discreet than Meijia."

"Teacher Zeng, you betrayed me!" Meijia looked at Zeng Xiaoxian in disbelief.

To obstruct someone from gossiping is like killing their parents!

Seeing that their conversation was going off-topic, Yifei slammed her hand on the table and shouted, "Is this the time to talk about this?!"

Xiaoxian and Meijia immediately fell silent.

"You've made a mess of something that could have been resolved with just one sentence."

She crossed her legs and said to Xiaoxian, "Anyway, this is the only solution we can come up with. If you think it's okay, we're happy to help."

"But if you're still wavering at this point, then you'll have to figure it out yourself!"

"I've figured it out." Zeng Xiaoxian nodded frantically, grinning mischievously. "Then I'll leave my makeover plan to you all."

Actually, he had already figured it out when Ziqiao was advising him: in this era, a certain image packaging is unavoidable.

If everyone were as meticulous as I am, wouldn't it be considered fraud for college students to memorize exam questions for final exams?

Let alone girls' makeup and beauty filters when taking photos, even boys sometimes choose to rent a luxury car to run errands for the sake of face.

Repackaging is a matter of personal opinion.

However, the revelations that Nanfeng made later were so explosive that he momentarily forgot to nod in agreement.

"Then it's settled. Next, we'll begin Zeng Xiaoxian's makeover. I'd like to call this grand transformation plan 'Xian (Handsome) Makeover'!"

Nanfeng looked at everyone: "Does anyone need help?"

Everyone except Yifei raised their hands.

This weekend is finally going to be fun again!

"I'm giving a lecture to a celebrity tonight, I'm so busy," Yifei said proudly, raising her head.

Of the six, she was the only one with some experience in getting sponsorships. If she didn't help, Zeng Xiaoxian would be in big trouble.

Beg me.

Why don't you beg me?

If you ask me for help, I might be able to help you.

Zeng Xiaoxian shamelessly leaned in to massage Yifei: "Yifei, I know you're the best. You wouldn't bear to see your dearest roommate get last place in the year-end assessment, right?"

Yifei replied matter-of-factly, "How could I not have the heart to do it?"

Xiao Xian fawned over Yi Fei, massaging her legs: "Yi Fei, little Fei Fei, Fei Fei Fei Fei... please help me out, okay?"

The other four covered their eyes with their hands, unable to bear watching Teacher Zeng's sycophantic behavior.

"Alright, alright, I'm scared of you." Yifei was also disgusted by Xiaoxian.

A smile curved her lips, a rare hint of coquettishness and smugness in her fierce tone: "Anyway, this celebrity lecture has already been held once before, so there's no need to prepare much this time. I'll join in, okay?"

"Long live Queen Fei! Long live the Queen! Long live the Queen!" Zeng Xiaoxian flashed a fawning smile.

Meijia, however, felt that something was amiss.

[Let me think... Teacher Zeng tried to avoid being a simp by sucking up to the sponsors...]

So you chose to fawn over Yifei?!

Seeing that everyone present had decided to work together to help Xiaoxian, Nanfeng smiled with satisfaction: "I have already simply divided the entire transformation into four categories: appearance, temperament and speech, conversation skills and professional abilities."

"We can't help with his professional skills, so I'm planning to ask a friend to give him some intensive tutoring. You don't need to worry too much."

"Our apartment has plenty of talented people, so we should be able to handle the remaining three tasks ourselves."

"Let's start with appearance. Who's good at that?"

Before Yu Mo could react, Mei Jia had already squeezed between her and Nan Feng, raised her hand high, and said, "I think Yu Mo will definitely be fine. Don't you think my makeup, styling, and outfit today are super cute?"

"Yes, it's incredibly sweet," Nanfeng praised. "Yu Mo, are you confident in Teacher Zeng's makeup, styling, and outfit?"

"I'm very familiar with women's makeup and styling. As for Teacher Zeng... unless he's willing to wear women's clothes, I can only give it a try," Yu Mo said honestly.

Nanfeng looked at the others and felt that none of them seemed to have any expertise in this area, so he said, "If no one objects, then Yu Mo will be in charge of the appearance and image aspect, and we will assist with that."

"So it's settled then?"

"I object!" Ziqiao shouted.

Everyone looked toward the sound and was startled by Zi Qiao on the sofa.

Ziqiao had changed into a black suit at some point, and was wearing a white wig tied in a ponytail, making him look incredibly flamboyant.

"Holy crap, when did you change your clothes? Are you a drag queen?!" Xiaoxian exclaimed in shock.

Nanfeng walked over to Ziqiao and poked his black-rimmed sunglasses: "Excuse me, can you really see clearly indoors while wearing sunglasses?"

"That's not important, what's important is that I object."

Ziqiao slowly stood up from the sofa, striking a pose: "Speaking of fashion, of course we have to mention the Caesar of the fashion world: Luc Karl Lagerfeld!"

"Julius Caesar?" Yifei scoffed. "You want to be stabbed twenty-three times too?"

Looking at Zi Qiao's flamboyant outfit and pose, Yu Mo silently took off her glasses, unable to bear to look directly at him: "Zi Qiao really has a lot of nicknames."

Nanfeng's lips twitched: "I almost forgot we have a flamboyant fashion guru here."

Ignoring everyone's mockery, Ziqiao patted Zeng Xiaoxian on the shoulder and promised, "Teacher Zeng, as long as you listen to me, I guarantee I'll design a look for you that will be all the rage among girls."

"No, not just young girls, but all women."

Xiao Xian said with a forced smile, "Thank you, Zi Qiao, but I don't need to be popular with thousands of girls right now. I just need to win over my sponsors."

"Lu Ziqiao, what trick are you up to now?" Yifei asked suspiciously.

She didn't think Ziqiao would be such a proactive person, or rather, the more proactive Ziqiao was, the more he wanted to get something from her.

Upon hearing this, Ziqiao wore a pained expression: "Yifei, I just wanted to help Teacher Zeng as much as possible. Was I wrong?"

Before Yifei could reply, Nanfeng asked, "You mean you want to be the head of appearance and image?"

"That's right."

I'm coming
