Chapter 1791: Chapter 1638: Stylist 14
Sister He’s eyes flickered with a trace of hatred as she spoke, clearly resenting her uncle immensely.
"Back then, my dad almost hanged himself because of this debt, and as his daughter, I couldn’t just sit by and do nothing.
The creditors came knocking for the debt, so I had to sell the clothing store I opened myself to settle with the most pressing creditors.
Because of this, my then-fiancé left me. To earn money, I had no choice but to come to S City alone to find work, as creditors kept coming to the house and I had no peace to earn money.
However, a few days ago, my dad managed to find my uncle and reported him to the police. Now the debts are back on my uncle.
Now I’m debt-free and don’t need to keep earning money to repay debts. With my money-making skills, getting a better apartment with you guys is not a problem."
Tao Shuangshuang and Jiang Jiali felt both sympathy for Sister He and joy that she had rid herself of debt and found her scumbag uncle.
Now things were good, with none of the three lacking money. They headed straight to a restaurant that day to celebrate Sister He’s new lease on life, and then quickly started looking for a shared apartment.
But while the three were busy house hunting, something happened at their rented place. They planned to inform the landlord they were moving out, so she could find new tenants promptly.
Who knew the landlord would bring two shady men to the apartment before the three could say anything? The men had lecherous looks, with their eyes lingering on the chest and lower parts, clearly up to no good.
The landlord, eager to rent out the place, brought in any kind of tenants without considering whether having such men around would pose a danger to the three single women living there.
Among the three, Tao Shuangshuang was the most attractive, so the two men ogled her the most. The landlord left as soon as she brought them over, and the two men moved in that very day.
Tao Shuangshuang naturally didn’t care whether these two men had bad intentions. If they didn’t, it was their luck; if they did, Tao Shuangshuang could make them eunuchs for the rest of their lives.
However, to avoid unnecessary trouble, and most importantly, fearing that Jiang Jiali and Sister He would suffer when she wasn’t around, as both were truly weak women who couldn’t fend off men,
Tao Shuangshuang discussed with Jiang Jiali and Sister He, and they packed up their belongings and moved out that very day, renting a suite in a hotel. After all, the three of them could make money and didn’t mind spending a few days in a hotel.
Though they could only stay in hotels, none of them wanted to randomly pick a place to live, as they didn’t know how long they’d be staying in a shared apartment. Naturally, they wanted a place they felt comfortable in.
However, finding a satisfactory apartment wasn’t easy, and it took half a month without success.
During this time, Tao Shuangshuang received her first month’s salary from the photo studio, which was nearly thirty thousand. Tao Shuangshuang had the highest salary at the studio.
This was because of Tao Shuangshuang’s expertise; clients, pleased with her makeup, referred others.
Over the month, many new clients came to the studio specifically for Tao Shuangshuang’s skills. Zhou Wensheng, delighted, gave Tao Shuangshuang a bonus to prevent her from jumping ship.
Though others in the studio envied her, none were dissatisfied because her skills were evident. Her makeup effects were akin to cosmetic surgery, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.
It wasn’t surprising that Tao Shuangshuang earned so much; it would’ve been odd if she didn’t earn a lot.
Moreover, Tao Shuangshuang wasn’t secretive; she willingly taught anyone who wanted to learn makeup from her. So, despite her significantly higher salary, she was well-liked in the studio.
After receiving her salary, Tao Shuangshuang treated everyone, taking Sister He and Jiang Jiali to King Prawn for a seafood feast. Now, the three of them had a tacit understanding: whoever got paid treated, and they would go out together to enjoy a meal.
But Tao Shuangshuang had also discussed with Sister He and Jiang Jiali that once they rented an apartment, they should cook most of their meals themselves.
Restaurant dishes are full of excessive seasonings, heavy with oil and salt, which aren’t healthy and, eating too often, could lead to weight gain.
Fortunately, all three had decent jobs. Sister He no longer took short-term jobs just to earn fast money, as these, while quick-paying, were also the most exhausting.
Now that she wasn’t in urgent need of money, Sister He found stable employment. Her high education made job seeking easy, earning fifteen thousand a month, considered a high wage.
After a few more days, the three finally found a suitable apartment in a well-landscaped complex with a large park, though the rent was a bit high.
But with a prime location, accessible to the metro and buses, in a bustling commercial area, the apartment was fully furnished, 120 square meters with three bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms, renting at six thousand five hundred a month.
Though expensive, it was the cheapest among such nice places in S City, leaving all three satisfied.
When dividing the rooms, Tao Shuangshuang chose the master bedroom, paying two thousand five hundred in rent, while Sister He and Jiang Jiali chose the secondary bedrooms, each paying two thousand.
With few belongings, they checked out of their hotel rooms and moved in with their bags.
On the day of their move, Tao Shuangshuang, Jiang Jiali, and Sister He cooked together, each making two of their specialty dishes to celebrate the new home.
The next day was Tao Shuangshuang’s day off. Jiang Jiali had introduced a client to accompany shopping on her day off.
It wasn’t a secret among the three that Tao Shuangshuang worked as a shopping companion. Recently, she’d also coordinated some inexpensive yet stylish outfits for Jiang Jiali and Sister He.
Jiang Jiali, impressed by Tao Shuangshuang’s talent in clothing coordination, introduced her to a long-term client.
This client’s surname was Wang, Wang Ziqing, a wealthy lady, a very popular actress ten years ago before she married into a wealthy family and retired from showbiz.
Wang Ziqing loved jade jewelry, and Jiang Jiali, eloquent and engaging, was a favorite from whom Wang Ziqing enjoyed buying trinkets and chatting.
Recently, Wang Ziqing faced a charity gala with her husband, but her recent weight gain rendered her usual style unsuitable.
Quick weight loss wasn’t an option, and Wang Ziqing couldn’t endure the hardships of rapid weight loss, causing her great distress.
It was by chance that Wang Ziqing saw Jiang Jiali in her post-work outfit, finding it very stylish. Complimenting it, she casually mentioned her troubles, and Jiang Jiali promptly recommended Tao Shuangshuang.
With time and money, Wang Ziqing wasn’t concerned about spending, even if the outfits didn’t suit her. Having someone accompany her shopping was enjoyable enough, so she promptly had Jiang Jiali arrange a meeting with Tao Shuangshuang to help her select clothes.
