Chapter 1793: Chapter 1640: Stylist 16
The women in the elite circle all like to mingle with women who have poise, elegance, and the demeanor of nobility.
Wang Ziqing’s background wasn’t good from the start. Though stars appear glamorous, in this circle they’re often derogatorily referred to as actors.
Wang Ziqing also has a strikingly beautiful face, which men like, but for many women, it’s the typical "mistress face," a fox-like face, not liked by those women who consider themselves noble and elegant.
Wang Ziqing has always wanted to change her image, wondering if she could become more elegant to fit into this circle, but she fears turning into a laughingstock with a half-baked attempt, so she hasn’t dared to try.
Wang Ziqing didn’t expect that at their first meeting, Shuangshuang could see she suited an elegant style and directly gave her a makeover, transforming her almost into a different person.
Afterwards, Wang Ziqing took Shuangshuang shopping at boutiques for most of the day, only satisfied as the sun began to set; she picked out over a dozen pieces, all elegant styles.
She spent almost 300,000 that day without batting an eyelid, an absolute display of wealth.
When parting from Shuangshuang, Wang Ziqing directly transferred her 20,000 yuan!
Shuangshuang was shocked to see how much money Wang Ziqing gave her: "Sister Wang, you’ve given me too much money, my service isn’t that expensive!"
Wang Ziqing, full of smiles, looked at herself in the mirror after changing outfits again, indifferent to Shuangshuang’s reaction.
Lost in her own world admiring the mirror, she said in a high tone, "Take it, your skills are definitely worth this price, it’s what you deserve.
Oh, when I attend the banquet, you also come and do my makeup and hair in today’s style. I’ll give you a big red envelope to thank you then."
Shuangshuang smiled and said, "Sure, I’ll make you look elegant and noble, Sister Wang. The red envelope is not necessary, what you’ve given today is enough, I’d feel bad asking for more."
Wang Ziqing smiled and didn’t argue with Shuangshuang. She figured she’d transfer more money once satisfied later, as money was the least of her concerns now.
After parting with Wang Ziqing, Shuangshuang felt good and planned to buy some beef, lamb, and a chicken to make something delicious as a treat for herself.
Before Shuangshuang could shop, she received a call from Zhou Wensheng, the photo studio boss. His tone was urgent: "Shuangshuang, come to the studio quickly. There’s an important client needing your help for a makeover, hurry up."
Zhou Wensheng hung up abruptly, not giving Shuangshuang a chance to refuse, and from the sound of it, it seemed busy over there.
Even though working overtime isn’t mandatory off-hours, when the boss calls for it, you have to work overtime unless you don’t want the job, so Shuangshuang hurried to the studio as fast as she could.
Upon arriving at the studio, Shuangshuang saw Zhou Wendong directing people in the lobby to set up various backgrounds.
Zhou Wendong was pedantically pointing at those carrying the massive background cloth: "You two be careful with that, it’s custom ordered."
Seeing Shuangshuang arrive, Zhou Wendong quickly walked over and pulled her inside: "You’re finally here, we’ve got a rush job. Do a makeover for someone first for an artistic photo shoot.
Then match a few casual outfits, handle everything from hairstyle and makeup to outfits and accessories, and it should all suit street fashion. Do a good job, and I’ll give you a big red envelope."
As soon as Zhou Wendong finished speaking, Shuangshuang was pushed into the dressing room and saw today’s important client who turned the studio into a frenzy, an old acquaintance—Shu Yixin.
Who knows what kind of luck Shu Yixin has; the first time Shuangshuang met her was when there were no makeup artists in the studio, and the second time, she was urgently needing photos.
Shu Yixin’s expression was grim, seemingly holding back something. When she saw Shuangshuang, her face softened slightly, greeting her, but she still looked displeased.
Shu Yixin mixed in the entertainment circle, so whoever upset her must be from that circle. Shuangshuang was a bit curious; it could be said that Shu Yixin’s luck recently was quite good.
Originally just a minor celebrity, Shu Yixin’s popularity surged after starring in a hit drama as the third female lead, now qualifying as a third or fourth-tier star.
Shu Yixin’s career is on the rise, so who could upset her at this point? Shuangshuang pondered a few thoughts before brushing the matter aside. Her concern was doing her job well.
Now Shuangshuang could do makeup with ease. She quickly finished Shu Yixin’s look, and then the photo shoot began, with Shuangshuang standing by with makeup products for touch-ups.
Originally thinking her overtime would be ordinary, Shuangshuang found the overtime stretched through the night and most of the next day.
After an all-nighter changing Shu Yixin’s look three times, it finally ended as dawn broke.
Shuangshuang thought she would finally rest, but then Zhou Wensheng and Shu Yixin signaled the team to head to the streets for shoots.
Shuangshuang...
This kind of non-stop, continuous overtime is not just overtime; it’s killing! While Shuangshuang’s body could handle it, her biological clock couldn’t stand the strain.
Aside from staying up on New Year’s Eve, Shuangshuang never had a sleepless night. The last time with Jiang Jiali was unexpected and she endured due to worry, needing plenty of rest afterward. Now, after a whole night and early morning of overtime, she was dying to sleep.
But the boss didn’t allow rest, instead buying loads of coffee for everyone, drinking a big gulp himself first, and Shuangshuang followed suit, nearly spitting it out from the bitterness.
To maximize its effectiveness, Zhou Wensheng chose pure black coffee without milk or sugar, leaving only its aroma and intense bitterness.
Drinking a cup of black coffee, the effect was immediate—all drowsiness vanished. Everyone labored for another half day, finishing the street photography, finally wrapping up.
After finishing the shoot, Shu Yixin left in a hurry, but her assistant gave everyone red envelopes as a token of appreciation.
Shuangshuang’s envelope was the largest, at 5000 yuan. Zhou Wensheng watched the cleanup, while Shuangshuang directly took a cab home to sleep; as compensation for her overtime, Zhou Wensheng gave Shuangshuang a day off.
Calculating, Shuangshuang found this day off coincided with Wang Ziqing’s banquet day, sparing her the need to request leave.
Because of the overtime, Shuangshuang slept for a day and a half, waking up habitually checking her phone’s chat group, where the studio staff was gossiping about Shu Yixin.
