Cheng Zeqi is the Uncle Cheng that Gao Shi mentioned.
Cheng Zeqi is the top makeup maker. To chase a star he liked, he bravely entered the entertainment industry.
But when he actually became his favorite star’s makeup artist, he found out that the star’s gentleness and elegance are all pretended. In fact, not only is she hot-tempered, but she also likes to scold her assistants and swears a lot.
After that, he quit his job, opened his own makeup store, collected three or four apprentices, and focused on high-end customized styles.
Because Cheng Zeqi’s makeup has led the fashion of the entertainment industry many times, plus the privacy of this makeup store is very convenient, so many celebrities like to make an appointment for styling.
Today, this makeup store, whose appointments should be lined up for two months, rarely had any customers.
“Seven, come pick up the customers.”
Gao Shi brought Gao Gusheng and pushed open the doors.
“Yo, what wind blew you here?”
As soon as he entered, Gao Shi saw Cheng Zeqi.
Cheng Zeqi was wearing a gray leisure suit and had a nice mustache. Gao Shi frowned when he saw him, reached out and pulled his messy mustache.
“What? You’re starting to go for the blue style?”
Cheng Zeqi hurriedly rescued his precious beard from Gao Shi’s hands, “Back off! It was hard for me to grow this.”
Gao Shi raises his eyebrows, “Falling for another celebrity?”
Cheng Zeqi had a righteous face, “I don’t like your use of ‘again’, am I the kind of person who likes to climb walls!?1 Can’t it simply be I want to change my image?”
Gao Shi nodded perfunctorily, “Uh-huh uh-huh, so who is it?”
Cheng Zeqi covers his face and makes a shy look, “Ahhh, it’s the new idol from Wanxing Group called Bai Shi.”
(Direct translation: Bai Shi=white poem.)
“Listen, what a poetic name. She said her ideal partner is a man with a bushy beard~~~.”
Gao Shi disgustedly waved away the screen full of tildes, “So, you’re planning a comeback?”
Cheng Zeqi put down his hand and said with a righteous expression, “Of course not; I’m a reserved person; if I had to return once for every star I fan on, I’d have returned a thousand times.”
“What are you coming here for this time? You want to change your look?”
Saying that, Cheng Zeqi’s eyes lit up.
Gao Shi’s appearance is extremely superior; his body is a natural clothes rack. Even wearing the old man’s undershirt that only costs ten dollars on the side of the road would be suspected to be a new product of a high-fashioned company.
Unfortunately, Gao Shi is a man straight as steel, and his motto has always been that keeping himself neat and tidy is enough. What a good face he is wasting.
Cheng Zeqi felt that this face following Gao shi really suffers a lot of injustice.
Facing Cheng Zeqi’s expectant gaze, Gao Shi coldly and mercilessly extinguished the hope in his eyes, “It’s not me.”
Not waiting for Cheng Zeqi to be disappointed, Gao Shi smoothly pulled Gao Gusheng, who had been ignored since entering the house, from behind his back.
“It’s for my son; make it good.”
Cheng Zeqi’s eyes went round.
If it was said that Gao Shi’s face was suffering with him,
Then Gao Gusheng’s face following Gao Gusheng was literally a torture.
Cheng Zeqi loved beautiful things, and the first time he saw Gao Gusheng spoil that face of his, he almost fainted.
But he vaguely knew that Gao Gusheng could not show his true face, so he could only feel profound pain and cover his eyes not to look, fooling himself. Over these years, he had almost forgotten what Gao Gusheng looked like.
This time, he heard that Gao Gusheng wanted to change his look, and he was overjoyed.
He did not ask why. He had been friends with Gao Shi for many years and knew that some things should be kept secret for his own good.
Cheng Zeqi happily pulled over Gao Gusheng, wanting to see what would be the most appropriate styling for him.
He lifted Gao Gusheng’s bangs and immediately wanted to shed tears.
Ugly.
It was really that bad.
Cheng Zeqi never thought that after a few years had passed, Gao Gusheng’s ability to spoil his face had not decreased but increased. His eyes are going blind.
Cheng Zeqi’s hand shivered and slowly lowered Gao Gu Sheng’s bangs, then took a deep breath.
One finger pointed to the first disciple, “Prepare warm water for washing face and makeup remover!”
One finger to the second disciple, “Bring my set of eyebrow trimming and haircutting tools!”
Another finger to the third disciple, “Prepare warm water and tools for washing hair!”
In the blink of an eye, the entire store was busy.
Gao Gusheng struggled out of the water and showed his phone page to Cheng Zeqi. “Uncle Cheng, I want this haircut. Can I get it?”
Cheng Zeqi gently took his phone away, “Uncle won’t allow you to spoil your head with this hairstyle.”
Turning his head, Cheng Zeqi roared at Gao Shi, “Old Gao! How damn well you raised your kid, look at the hairstyle he chose!”
Gao Shi looked at the hairstyle on the page and saw that the model’s hair was pushed flat on both sides, combed towards the center, dyed red, and blown up high, just like a top-quality cocktail flower with excellent color.
This was the picture that Gao Gusheng had shown Gao Shi in the car.
Gao Shi nodded, “I do think it’s a bit too fancy, but there’s nothing wrong with it if the kids like it.”
He said and shook his head, patting Cheng Zeqi’s shoulder, “Young people have young people’s own trends; seven, you’re getting old.”
Cheng Zeqi’s hair stood up in anger, “Old my ass! I’m a young and beautiful twenty-six-year-old! Look at this hairstyle. Isn’t this a non-mainstream hairstyle from twenty years ago?!”
Gao Shi coughed lightly, silently retreating in the face of Cheng Zeqi’s fury, no longer provoking the angry beauty industry tycoon.
The little apprentice girl in the store handed Gao Shi water and snacks with a blushing face, and Gao Shi took out the laptop that he had sent here at Cheng Zeqi’s place to deal with the brigade’s affairs.
When he was dealing with affairs, there was no expression on his face, the computer screen reflected a layer of cold light on his face. From the side view, you could see his superior jawline, with a sharpness that pierced hearts.
The apprentice girl looked and looked again and couldn’t help but pat her face with cold water.
Inside the barber shop, Gao Gusheng was pressed into the barber chair. Cheng Zeqi’s hands, rightfully called “the Hands of God” in the industry, skillfully worked with scissors. Under his adept movements, Gao Gusheng’s unkempt, dog-bitten hairstyle was gradually shaped, revealing the contours of his face.
The young man who had been cleansed of his disguise had handsome brows and eyes and a thrilling sense of beauty.
The three disciples’ eyes couldn’t help but stare at Gao Gusheng..
After an unknown amount of time, Gao Shi shut down the laptop and moved his somewhat stiff spine.
He picked up his water cup and drank the warm tea in a single gulp, the knots in his throat rolling with a careless, ascetic, colorful aura.
Cheng Zeqi came out and saw this scene and couldn’t help but sigh that the heavens were really biased to create such a father and son.
“Old Gao, come, look at your son.”
Gao Shi looked up and saw Gao Gusheng behind Cheng Zeqi.
Gao Gusheng’s hair was trimmed neatly, and his eyebrows seemed to have been drawn on, effectively concealing their previous misfortunes.
Only after removing his black-framed glasses could one see that Gao Gusheng’s eyes were large and bright, with the corners slightly upturned, carrying the cunning and vivacity of youth.
He was wearing a simple white shirt and black pants, just like a clear and elegant teenager who came out of a comic.
Cheng Zeqi raised his head and said smugly, “How is it? My handiwork is good, right?”
Gao Shi got up and petted his son’s newly cut head like a dog’s head; it still felt great.
“Hey hey hey dad, my new haircut!”
“Not bad.”
Cheng Zeqi sighed, “If Lele were my model, every style I create would definitely be a hit.”
Gao Shi raised an eyebrow, “Wishful thinking.”
Suddenly, a sharp pain rose from his temples, as if an electric drill were chiseling in his mind. Cold sweat covered his forehead in a flash.
“Old Gao? Holy shit, what’s wrong with you, Gao? headache?”
Cheng Zeqi and Gao Gu Sheng hurriedly helped Gao Shi sit on the sofa.
The pain this time lasted for a short time, and Gao Shi took several deep breaths to calm his violent heartbeat.
“It’s okay, I’m fine.”
Bits and pieces came to his mind.
Contract …… canary ……
This time, the fragments were too scattered for Gao Shi to piece together the plot, but his previous experience was enough for him to deduce that some key plot character was going to appear or had already appeared.
Lele’s birthday is tomorrow, and Kong Miao Taoist will be here so that nothing could go wrong in the meantime.
Must hurry and go home.
Gao Shi took Gao Gusheng and got up, “Old Seven, I have something urgent to do, I have to go back.”
Cheng Zeqi’s eyes still held a hint of worry, but he smiled, pretending to be regretful, “I was thinking of putting together a few outfits for you two. Never mind, we’ll talk about it next time.”
“And Old Gao, you owe me a meal, don’t forget.”
“I know, I know.”
Are you kidding? Let Cheng Zeqi pick out clothes? He could spend the whole day doing that.
Gao Shi, who could easily complete a 20-kilometer cross-country with weight in the team, felt so tired that he didn’t even want to move his fingers after spending just an hour changing clothes under Cheng Zeqi’s guidance.
Gao Oath fled with Gao Gusheng.
“Dad, does your head still hurt?”
After leaving the door, Gao Gusheng was still a little worried.
Gao Shi’s headaches were becoming more and more frequent.
Gao Shi shook his head, “It doesn’t hurt anymore; it’s fine.”
As he was about to say something more, he suddenly felt a prying gaze and reflexively shielded Gao Gusheng behind him.
His gaze slightly darkened as he saw a black Range Rover.
With the single-sided glass, it was impossible to see who was in the car.
Gao Shi stuffed Gao Gusheng into the car and started the viecle.
He pressed his headset, “Chen Chen, find out what kind of person is sitting in that Land Rover.”
And at the same time, the owner of the Land Rover gave a similar order.
The tone was somewhat playful, like a beast that had seen its beloved prey.
“Check, the information of those two people just now.”
“Especially that teenager, put it on my desk by tomorrow.”

Guess who this new one is?
One of the scum gongs on the text, this tone should be easy to guess~>v
Translater’s Note:
About why Cheng Zeqi is called “old seven, seven”
this is because of the last word of his name, the qi(奇）in承泽奇，is pronouned the same as is 7(qi).
so qi=7=seven, ^W^
