Chapter 1780: Chapter 1627: Stylist 3

When Tao Shuangshuang finished styling Fang Qiweng’s hair, Fang Qiweng looked at herself in the mirror and could hardly believe that the beautiful woman was indeed herself. She had always thought long hair was prettier and exuded a gentle, watery aura.

But after pinning up her hair, Fang Qiweng realized that long hair wasn’t the only way to achieve this feeling. Her current appearance was competent and intellectual without losing any softness, due to her own temperament.

Her neck, which was originally somewhat elongated, now appeared even more slender. The pinned-up hair gave her a clean look, and the simple pair of earrings seemed like the perfect finishing touch, making her even more beautiful.

Afterwards, Tao Shuangshuang also took Fang Qiweng to pick out a beige clutch and a pair of camel-colored high heels embedded with white crystals.

When matching clothes, including outfits, accessories, shoes, belts, and bags, it’s best not to exceed three colors combined.

Jian Shuangshuang’s outfit for Fang Qiweng included only three colors: beige, camel, and white.

Once the outfit was complete, Fang Qiweng was beyond satisfied. By then, she had long forgotten her initial intention of having Tao Shuangshuang only choose an outfit for her niece, Yao Jia.

This time, Fang Qiweng took Tao Shuangshuang directly to her favorite counters, specifically asking Tao Shuangshuang to select trendy fashion brands for her.

Tao Shuangshuang hadn’t done any prior research on this area, but she and Fang Qiweng visited several counters and ultimately chose a black-and-white striped set for Fang Qiweng.

Fang Qiweng swiftly changed into the clothes without a hint of doubt, then eagerly scrutinized her outfit in the mirror.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Tao Shuangshuang certainly didn’t let her down. It was a sleek black-and-white striped ensemble: the top was a fitted blazer style with a V-neck that lengthened the neck’s curve.

The jacket was rather short, cinched at the waist, and the lower part consisted of long, wide-legged pants, paired with black high heels and a small black handbag. Tao Shuangshuang also specifically chose a fashionable black wide-brimmed hat for her.

This outfit made Fang Qiweng particularly sharp and decisive, appearing slightly serious and cold when she wasn’t smiling. It conveyed an aura of a strong woman—a successful female executive, which Fang Qiweng especially liked.

Fang Qiweng’s inherent temperament was a bit soft, but ideally, a female executive’s best demeanor contains a certain assertiveness. This way, she wouldn’t be underestimated during negotiations, assert dominance over subordinates, and be perceived as reliable by superiors.

But previously, Fang Qiweng could only imagine this because she always looked very gentle. She never thought that a mere change of clothes could bring such a transformation.

Fang Qiweng used to dislike the combination of black and white, thinking black was too dreary and old-fashioned, and white too bleak. However, this black-and-white outfit was serious yet fashionable, and Fang Qiweng immediately fell in love with it.

Initially, Fang Qiweng wanted Tao Shuangshuang to select a few more pieces for her, but she received a call from her company saying a significant client needed to leave the city suddenly, requiring her to sign a contract earlier than planned.

Fang Qiweng was reluctantly forced to abandon the idea of continuing to shop for clothes. Before leaving, she gave Tao Shuangshuang fifteen hundred yuan.

Tao Shuangshuang had been accompanying Fang Qiweng shopping for three hours. Fang Qiweng paid according to the highest hourly rate of five hundred, although she originally intended to pay an hourly rate of three hundred yuan.

After seeing Fang Qiweng off, Tao Shuangshuang finally found a place to sit down. Walking around the mall for three hours straight made her feet ache terribly, primarily because her shoes didn’t fit properly; they were one size too small and pinched her feet.

Shoes are crucial; if they’re comfortable, you can walk all day without tiring, but if uncomfortable, even standing for a short period is painful.

These shoes Tao Shuangshuang got previously from a street stall were in odd sizes; her size was too small and didn’t fit well. By the time she returned, the vendor had moved on and wasn’t there anymore.

Unwilling to waste money, Tao Shuangshuang had no choice but to wear the ill-fitting shoes temporarily, planning to wait until she earned more money.

Tao Shuangshuang was genuinely lacking money. After graduating, she had only five hundred yuan on her. Her financial plight was due to the fact that her work-study earnings were all invested in fashion magazines and attending shows.

Fang Qiweng was right; without spending money, it’s impossible to have a keen sense of fashion. Tao Shuangshuang’s fashion sense came from spending money.

After leaving school, as someone without money, Tao Shuangshuang could only spend three hundred yuan to co-rent a house.

Tao Shuangshuang’s city is a first-tier city with high rent costs. Spending only three hundred yuan meant she couldn’t rent anything decent.

The less than seventy-square-meter house had been divided by the landlord into six rooms, with three men and three women in total living there.

Tao Shuangshuang’s remaining two hundred yuan was quickly running out after a month of eating nothing but buns and pickles, not daring to even eat instant noodles. Adding to her woes, her rent was soon due.

If not forced to the brink, Tao Shuangshuang wouldn’t have begged Yao Jia to introduce her to a client, even though it was essentially equivalent to asking for charity—a reality Tao Shuangshuang nevertheless accepted.

In her previous life, Tao Shuangshuang hadn’t satisfied Fang Qiweng, so she only received six hundred yuan for two hours’ work from Fang Qiweng.

After paying her rent, Tao Shuangshuang had no choice but to apply for a job as a store guide, simultaneously earning money and probing for personal shopping consulting businesses.

She spent a whole year extricating herself from difficulties, eventually getting on the right path and becoming a recognized personal shopper with regular clients.

And because she wore ill-fitting shoes for too long, Tao Shuangshuang developed a bunion condition whereby slightly tight shoes caused severe pain.

Looking at the fifteen hundred yuan transfer on her phone, Tao Shuangshuang revealed a happy smile. This lifetime began with a prosperous start. If not for Fang Qiweng’s issues, she would’ve earned another thousand yuan.

With the money, the first thing Tao Shuangshuang did was buy a pair of two-hundred-yuan shoes prioritizing comfort, considering that she’d frequently need to walk with clients in the future, and having comfortable shoes was essential.

After buying the shoes, she transferred three hundred yuan for rent to the landlord. Out of the fifteen hundred yuan earned today, five hundred was gone instantly, causing her some heartache.

Initially, Tao Shuangshuang wanted to buy some meat, but after spending the money, she felt the pinch and decided to buy a box of instant noodles and two pounds of eggs, opting to continue eating instant noodles until she clinched her next sale before indulging in meat.

The house Tao Shuangshuang rented was a tube-style building in the old city district, narrow and cramped. The staircase was steep, and the walls were covered in dirt.

With great difficulty, Tao Shuangshuang climbed to the sixth floor, took out her key, and opened the door, only to have a dark shadow fly towards her. She quickly dodged, and a teacup grazed her nose, hit the floor, and shattered with a loud crash!
