She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 943 - 833: Super Star 7 (4000)_3
Where there are many women, there are many disputes. This is an unchanging truth through the ages.
"Sister, I’ll come back after my summer vacation. Let’s stay in touch often. I need your help a lot in the future."
In a month’s time, Hua Yan actually earned two thousand three hundred yuan. All this money was deposited into Zhou Yao’s card, but Zhou Yao was only willing to accept 300 yuan. No matter what Hua Yan said, she wouldn’t accept the other two thousand yuan, saying how could she, an adult, take a child’s hard-earned money?
Besides, during this month, she didn’t work for nothing; she helped Hua Yan a lot. Even as an apprentice, it was worth it, and she shouldn’t take any more money.
Hua Yan argued with her for a long time, but she still refused. There was no choice but to accept it, although Hua Yan was contemplating other ways to compensate her.
Within this month, what Hua Yan learned from Zhou Yao was something she hadn’t approached in several previous lifetimes. She couldn’t just learn for free. Not to mention the gift for a master, just for taking care of her so much, Hua Yan shouldn’t just take the two thousand yuan and feel no guilt.
She had carefully observed the makeup box that Zhou Yao used. She was not a makeup artist for any particular star, so she used the clients’ own makeup when doing their make-up, unlike the crowd actors who used shared makeup. Makeup materials were personal items, and sometimes when the crowd actors were too busy, she would take her own box and help out.
When she did makeup for stars, her own box wasn’t needed, but when she did it for crowd actors, the crew provided makeup, so opportunities to use her own were limited.
Therefore, buying a makeup box wasn’t practical.
Rather than buying her a makeup box, it was better to buy her a set of cosmetics!
Thus, before leaving, Hua Yan went to the department store in Hengdian and carefully chose a set of skincare products that were both affordable and perfectly suited to Zhou Yao’s skin.
The whole set cost 980 yuan.
She didn’t give it to her in the crew, but waited for her to come home, especially at her rented place. People like them often stayed with the crew basically year-round, so they had their rental homes near Hengdian. Zhou Yao stayed by herself, a one-bedroom apartment, decorated warmly. Hua Yan visited a few times and liked this older sister more and more. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
At twenty-two, it was time to start taking care of the skin. Initially, she considered the set priced at 1680 yuan, but feared it was too expensive and would frighten her.
They were often in contact with makeup, cosmetics, and skincare products, knowing every price thoroughly.
Therefore, when Hua Yan handed over the skincare products, Zhou Yao felt helpless.
"You naughty child, spending money so recklessly! How can I possibly accept this?"
"Sis, I really consider you my sister. You took care of me this entire month, even cooked for me during New Year. You’re closer than my parents. Besides, I might trouble you more during my winter and summer holidays in the future. It’s only right to give you a set as a ’master gift’. Just accept it. Let’s stay in touch regularly! We’ve exchanged phone numbers and added each other on QQ. I’ll frequently update you on my studies."
What else could Zhou Yao do? She could only resignedly accept it, realizing that Hua Yan might indeed not be a child who lacks money.
Then, the two sisters bid farewell, with Hua Yan taking the bus to the coach station, then heading to Yiwu Railway Station to buy a sleeper ticket directly to Beijing.
Actually, a regular seat was possible, but Hua Yan, being young, feared encountering bad guys, so she spent a bit more money to buy a sleeper ticket.
Departure was at six p.m. that day, and arrival was at four p.m. the next day. The sleeper ticket was half price, using a student ticket that was only available during winter and summer holidays and other festival holidays. Otherwise, students had to pay full price throughout the rest of the year, so buying a sleeper ticket for over 100 yuan was quite a bargain.
Before boarding, she bought a bag of food and stocked up Yiwu and Hengdian specialties along with snacks from her shopping, having ample supply for the trip, even buying an upper bunk to avoid trouble. However, what she didn’t anticipate was being targeted since the ticket purchase.
Moreover, she was caught upon exiting the restroom.
"You naughty child, I told you not to run around. How come you don’t listen? Come on, follow your aunt. It’s time for us to get off."
Hua Yan blinked and looked incredulously at the middle-aged woman: "You’ve mistaken me for someone else. I don’t even know you."
"Aye, child, how could you not know me? Just because I didn’t buy you new clothes, are you rebelling all the way? Once we reach home, whatever you want, your mom will buy for you. I promise not to interfere. After spending a winter break at my house, you turn around saying you don’t know me. Does that make sense? Come on, let’s go quickly. If not, your uncle will come looking for us!"
Hua Yan: "...."
