Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1782: Chapter 1629: Stylist 5

Shuangshuang made braised pork with potatoes using a pound of meat and a large potato, and invited Sister He to join her. Coincidentally, Sister He also improved her diet, buying a pound of spicy duck necks and duck wings.

The two enjoyed a good meal of braised pork with potatoes and rice, then leisurely turned on the TV, munching on duck necks and wings while watching TV, having a comfortable night.

Early the next morning, Shuangshuang was awakened by the noise in the living room. It turned out that the two male tenants living here were moving out, noisily carrying their belongings.

Fortunately, this house, although shared, had been divided by the landlord into small rooms rented out separately, so losing two tenants didn’t mean the rest had to share the rent more.

Once the two male tenants had left, the remaining male tenant came out to eat, he was a young man with a pale face.

Seeing Shuangshuang and Sister He in the living room, he simply nodded and silently went into the kitchen to start cooking instant noodles.

This young man’s surname was Wang, Sister He called him Xiao Wang, he was a super homebody, the kind who lived in a house where you wouldn’t see him for days.

Xiao Wang was a gaming enthusiast, earning money by playing games for others and selling game equipment, rarely leaving the house, relying on fast-food delivery for meals, and occasionally cooking instant noodles being his idea of cooking.

Regarding the other two tenants moving out, Shuangshuang felt it was quite good. Those two liked to gather with a group of raucous friends to play mahjong at night.

Though they were in their small room, the noise was unbearable, along with the cigarette smell. The landlord didn’t live here and didn’t care, and others couldn’t manage either.

Even when others spoke up, they didn’t listen, acting as if they couldn’t hear during arguments. Now that the two nuisances had moved out, things could finally be peaceful for a couple of days.

After chatting with Sister He in the living room, Shuangshuang started pondering where she should go to find work after Sister He left for work, she needed to hurry to make money.

Currently, she had 3100 yuan and some change on hand, such an amount made her feel insecure, having little money could vanish with any unexpected expense.

Shuangshuang was a bit worried, she had no connections, her only potential client was Fang Qiweng.

Previously, Shuangshuang remembered Fang Qiweng planned to have her help pick out some clothes, but later Fang Qiweng hurriedly left due to some matters.

Since the other party hadn’t come to her all this time, likely still busy, short-term dependence on this client was unlikely, which posed a problem.

Shuangshuang considered, if worse comes to worst, she should find a photography studio to work as a makeup artist. This job was the easiest to get close to the fashion circle, beneficial to her.

Moreover, makeup artists weren’t as versatile as stylists and didn’t need to dress up as brilliantly as personal shoppers, allowing her to save a significant amount of money.

Determined to act on her thoughts, Shuangshuang put on her only decent outfit and went out to seek a job, planning to check out various studios to see if they had posted job notices.

S City had many super studios, but these places required makeup artists with work experience, which Shuangshuang didn’t have, putting her at a disadvantage.

All day, Shuangshuang visited numerous studios, but either they weren’t hiring or dismissed her due to lack of experience, not even allowing a trial, deeming her unsuitable.

In the end, Shuangshuang was nearly despairing. As evening approached, she entered a studio once more, hoping for a chance, seeing a job notice at the entrance recruiting two makeup artists.

However, upon entering, the interior was bustling, many people were coming and going, seemingly busy preparing costumes for an artistic photo shoot.

By the counter stood a man with a camera slung over his shoulder, one hand on his hip, holding a phone in a pinky-flick gesture, speaking angrily into it.

The man was furious, shouting into the phone, “What is this? Just when I need you, you ditch me, is this appropriate? When have I ever mistreated you here, and you repay me like this?

You tell me to find someone else, but at this time, everyone else is on break, only you’re left, my client is waiting, and you pull this, intentionally trying to burn bridges!”

Standing at the entrance, Shuangshuang observed the chaotic scene inside, hesitating whether to leave, figuring they were too busy to deal with her.

But before Shuangshuang could turn to leave, a woman noticed her and quickly approached with a smile, asking, “Welcome, beautiful lady, are you here for a photo shoot?”

Being asked, it was too late to leave. Shuangshuang could only reply, “I’m not here for a photo shoot. I saw your job notice for makeup artists and came for an interview.”

Before the woman could respond further, the man with the phone, with his pinky-flick gesture, suddenly hung up, turned to look at Shuangshuang, his eyes brightened, exclaiming, “You’re a makeup artist!”

The man’s voice was somewhat loud, and seeing his excited expression, Shuangshuang nodded and said, “I am.”

Immediately, the man abandoned the phone, rushed over, grabbed Shuangshuang’s hand, and said while pulling her inside, “Great, I have a client here, come and do her makeup, I’ll give you a bonus if it’s good.”

Shuangshuang, feeling a bit dazed, was pulled into the studio’s makeup room, where a very beautiful girl was sitting.

Shuangshuang instantly recognized her; she was a minor celebrity named Shu Yixin, recently appearing as a supporting actress in a TV drama that Shuangshuang and Sister He had just watched.

Though Shu Yixin was a small-time celebrity, having such a star shoot artistic photos here was quite impressive for the studio, at least proving the photographer’s skills were noteworthy.

Shuangshuang, pushed in front of Shu Yixin by the slightly effeminate man, was instructed, “Do her a makeup that looks pure.”

Shuangshuang realized, perhaps this studio’s skilled makeup artist had suddenly quit, and with no makeup artist available, the person on the phone was likely that quitting makeup artist, possibly intentional.

By chance, she came to interview and was recruited by the photographer—a golden opportunity she decided to seize.

She first checked the various prepared makeup products in the studio, all branded cosmetics, then scrutinized Shu Yixin’s face.

Shu Yixin was one of the rare girls without plastic surgery, her face an ovoid shape, with a slightly rounded chin, an ideal beauty face.

However, nowadays everyone favored pointy, elf-like faces, while such slightly rounded ovoid faces were unpopular, many opted for face-thinning injections or bone shaving to sharpen their faces.
