Chapter 1792: Chapter 1639: Stylist 15

When Tao Shuangshuang went to meet Wang Ziqing, it was at a revolving café in a large mall, a place where the costs were exorbitantly high. A cup of coffee started at a hundred yuan, and a casual snack with a couple of coffees could easily set one back a few hundred yuan.

Tao Shuangshuang herself was reluctant to spend so much on coffee, but since the meeting was with Wang Ziqing, the money wasn’t coming out of her pocket.

As soon as Tao Shuangshuang stepped into the café, she spotted Wang Ziqing sitting by the window, as she stood out too much; after all, she was once a popular star, carrying an air that was distinctly different from the average person.

Wang Ziqing had a good fashion sense to begin with, and today she wore a blue, fashionable long dress that was form-fitting and slimming. Her neck was long and beautiful, prompting her to let her hair fall to her shoulders, with the ends curled into large waves, looking very bright and vivid.

Tao Shuangshuang frowned slightly; such a person clearly didn’t need a shopping companion because her own taste was more than enough to pick out clothes for herself.

Recalling the various details Jiang Jiali had shared about interacting with Wang Ziqing, Tao Shuangshuang easily concluded that Wang Ziqing was actually a very lonely person.

Wang Ziqing got along with Jiang Jiali because Jiali could talk in a pleasing way. She hired a shopping companion because she needed someone to accompany her, to talk and cheer her up. Companionship was the real service she needed; everything else was secondary.

Understanding this, Tao Shuangshuang knew how to get along with Wang Ziqing. She walked up to Wang Ziqing, showing a perfectly fitting expression of surprise on her face.

Extending her hand with a delight only a fan could possess, she said, "Hello, I’m your appointed shopping companion, Tao Shuangshuang. I’m so happy to meet you, I’m a fan of yours!"

Wang Ziqing was indeed very pleased with Tao Shuangshuang’s opening. Her bored expression, from waiting, disappeared, replaced with a smile as she reservedly reached out to shake hands with Tao Shuangshuang.

After Tao Shuangshuang sat down, it was as if Wang Ziqing casually mentioned, "I’ve been out of the entertainment circle for over ten years. I thought no fans remembered me anymore, and I didn’t expect a young girl like you to know of me."

Tao Shuangshuang smiled and said, "You are the Goddess in my heart. I’ve watched your movies and dramas. My favorite is the ’Battle of Women’ you starred in. It’s simply amazing..."

Tao Shuangshuang had done her homework on Wang Ziqing beforehand, and indeed, Wang Ziqing was a Goddess etched deeply in the previous generation’s memories. Many of her films and dramas were classics.

At that moment, Tao Shuangshuang effortlessly recounted every role Wang Ziqing had played, as if listing her cherished treasures, causing Wang Ziqing’s smile to grow larger and her gaze towards Tao Shuangshuang to soften significantly.

This was a truly appreciative fan, Wang Ziqing thought, especially since Tao Shuangshuang was so young yet so fond of her. Didn’t this mean her charm hadn’t faded even now!

Tao Shuangshuang had already been likable, which made Wang Ziqing have a good impression of her. Upon confirming Tao Shuangshuang was truly her fan, Wang Ziqing felt even more indulgent towards her; after all, no one dislikes someone who likes them.

They spent over two hours idly chatting in the café before getting down to business and picking out clothes. Previously, Tao Shuangshuang knew that when it came to choosing clothes, Wang Ziqing’s taste was already quite good.

Therefore, as Tao Shuangshuang accompanied Wang Ziqing in picking clothes, they mostly engaged in discussion rather than having Tao Shuangshuang make the decisions.

This time, Wang Ziqing chose an evening dress that suited her well for attending banquets, as well as several sets of everyday clothes.

To be honest, Wang Ziqing was quite adept at maintaining her figure. Although she had put on some weight, she was still considered simply voluptuous rather than fat, so picking clothes was relatively easy for her.

Tao Shuangshuang did a beautiful hairstyle for Wang Ziqing and helped her with a different makeup look. For a long time, Wang Ziqing’s makeup had always leaned towards the glamorous.

Wang Ziqing’s debut role was as a female spy with fiery red lips, a role that catapulted her to fame and solidified her image in such a form.

Everyone in the entertainment circle believed that Wang Ziqing’s looks were well-suited to flamboyant makeup, and indeed, Wang Ziqing’s appearance was a fiercely attractive beauty suited for bold makeup.

But Tao Shuangshuang could see that while Wang Ziqing’s beauty suited the bold, it also suited elegance. She was actually a versatile beauty.

However, Wang Ziqing had never changed her image, coupled with everyone around her insisting she suited bold makeup, that her image remained fixed.

Tao Shuangshuang had a genuine desire to develop Wang Ziqing into a long-term client, and simply catering to her whims wouldn’t suffice; she had to show some real skill.

Thus, when picking clothes for Wang Ziqing earlier, Tao Shuangshuang deliberately chose an outfit that was more elegant and poised for Wang Ziqing to wear.

Although Wang Ziqing felt the clothes didn’t quite suit her, since Tao Shuangshuang was her fan and made her quite happy, Wang Ziqing didn’t say much.

Even though the outfit was expensive and didn’t match her temperament, she figured it would likely end up sitting unused.

But to cheer up her fan with an outfit, Wang Ziqing didn’t mind. She had many clothes she left unworn, one more wouldn’t make a difference.

Tao Shuangshuang successfully leveraged Wang Ziqing’s psychology, getting her to put on the dignified outfit and styled her hair more elegantly.

The makeup was the finishing touch; Tao Shuangshuang used earthy eyeshadow, but didn’t apply it over large areas, just lightly on the double eyelids.

A touch of light gold in the middle of the eyes, and the eyeliner was drawn finely, unlike the thick lines of before.

Usually, Wang Ziqing’s false eyelashes complemented her bold makeup by being quite long, appearing exaggerated when worn with lighter makeup.

This time, Tao Shuangshuang chose naturally realistic false eyelashes for Wang Ziqing, curling them slightly for a natural look.

Her formerly bold lipsticks were all set aside, opting instead for a nude-toned bean paste lipstick, giving her lips a very moist look.

Once the makeup was complete, Wang Ziqing looked at an elegant beauty in the mirror, one like an entirely different person, and was so surprised she nearly gaped.

She looked at the unfamiliar self with delight, her heart brimming with excitement. Ever since marrying into a wealthy family, Wang Ziqing didn’t really like her overly glamorous appearance.

Simply put, although her appearance attracted her husband, he was only temporarily intrigued by her. Over time, he couldn’t avoid being drawn to other women.

Beauty couldn’t hold her husband’s heart, but excelling at being a Lady in social diplomacy could make her husband stay with her.

However, Wang Ziqing found it hard to achieve this because her striking appearance wasn’t well-received among women’s circles, and few women wanted to be friends with Wang Ziqing.
