The Tycoon's Enchanted Mermaid-Chapter 138 - : Make Do

Chapter 138 -138: Make Do

Their team was renowned nationally; usually, they served socialites, wives of the wealthy, and celebrities and stars from the fashion circle. Anyone without some background couldn’t even get in line. The slots for this year and the next had already been fully booked.

The trip to Wuqiong Water Pavilion was a last-minute addition from a few days ago, with the boss personally arriving at the studio to select staff. Those who were on international trips were called back through a single phone call.

They all wondered which high-profile client could make their boss who usually ignored others and looked down on people from under his nose feel sincerely anxious and fearful.

It was not until they saw Wuqiong Water Pavilion and Lake Heart Island on Luling Mountain that they could understand the shock. It was truly a place where ordinary people couldn’t step foot in their lifetime.

The stylist took a deep breath and, as the team leader, she reminded her teammates again, “Remember to put away your usual temper. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a hero or a bear, keep your tail between your legs and be nice, or no one will be able to save you.”

Those in their line of work were prone to being hot-tempered, especially the makeup artists, who were famously sharp-tongued in the circle.

There had been a few incidents before where customers had been made to cry; they were celebrities, and according to the makeup artists, they had lousy skin, obvious plastic surgery marks, didn’t understand anything yet were keen on giving orders, demanding a lot. Who would indulge them?

If they weren’t happy, they would just scold them.

It was indeed fortunate that the makeup artists were highly skilled and the boss was tough, ready to stand by his staff no matter what.

This time was different, and the team leader specifically warned the makeup artists, “Especially you, keep your mouth shut tighter, don’t start blabbing the moment something displeases you.”

The makeup artist was sharp, knowing the gravity of the situation, and leaned back with his eyes closed, “Alright, alright, I got it. Sister, if you’re not assured, why don’t you just tape my mouth shut?”

“If you can’t control yourself, you do it. Otherwise, if you cause trouble, wait and see if the boss doesn’t cut you loose.”

After the team leader finished speaking, she looked at the others, “What about the rest of you?”

There was no need to spell it out; everyone else also understood the gravity of the situation. Anyone in Capital City who could own such an island as a private residence was beyond mere wealth.

They were secretive, prominent families, or noble clans.

These massive entities were far from ordinary people, but they certainly existed, and their team, usually serving high society women, also knew a bit about the composition of the Beijing Circle.

Families at the top of the pyramid usually didn’t appear in public. A saying circulated within the circle: the true magnates are incredibly low-key, like the Qin Family.

The Qin Family was the most prestigious in the Beijing Circle, with businesses spread across the world. It was said that the Qin Family members would turn soil into gold, always being the center of attention wherever they went, particularly Qin Yu, the current head of the Qin Family.

Extremely mysterious.

Wuqiong Water Pavilion was his private residence. This information was only revealed to them by the boss yesterday, who also didn’t forget to warn them not to disclose it to the outside world.

Privacy and secrecy were of utmost importance.

To keep things tightly sealed, to speak and act with caution.

However, like the Qin Family, such top-level noble families would usually have their own professional teams. It was unknown why they suddenly sought them out this time; perhaps there was some hidden reason.

With anxious hearts, their car stopped in the square. The team leader was the first to push the door open and get out. A servant approached them, and the team leader went forward with a smile to introduce herself:

“Hello, we are from LM Studio.”

The servant nodded, raising his hand to make an inviting gesture, “Miss has been waiting for a long time, please come in.”

They carefully followed the servant’s steps. As they entered, they were greeted with the splendid aura that overwhelmed them, and a faint, cool fragrance permeated the air. It was proof that a real mansion carried an oppressive presence, compelling silence and held breaths.

They didn’t dare to make a sound.

When they entered the hall, a voice reached their ears.

“Miss Ade, they have arrived.”

“Mhm.”

The girl’s voice was delicate and soft, like the sound of a spring bubbling from trickling water, with a hook at the end of each note, a bit of a Southern accent that was glutinous and tenderly rising, making it very comfortable to listen to.

A few people followed the voice and looked up, only to see a girl sitting on a luxurious sofa, petite and delicate.

She wore a light blue princess dress, her long black hair like satin trailing behind her, her face exquisitely small, with cherry lips, a graceful nose, a neck like porcelain, her eyes looking at them were watery like a pool of autumn water under the moon, glistening.

Everyone silently admired her beauty, thinking how gorgeous she was.

A child reared with meticulous care in wealth and splendor, nearly every aspect of her emanated nobility and purity, with no flaws to be seen.

Ah Da sized up the five people who had walked in as well: three women and two men, all dressed sharply and carrying big suitcases.

Song Ma gently bent over and said, “The gowns are all ready upstairs. Miss Ade can go up and see which one she likes, and they will do the makeup and try styling according to the gown.”

Ah Da nodded, stood up, and asked, “You’ve just arrived, would you like to rest for a while first?”

The young girl, like a porcelain doll, only seemed real when she moved. The lead stylist, Zou Lin, replied, “Thank you for your consideration, Miss. We don’t need to rest; we can start right now.”

Ah Da slightly furrowed her brows, took a gentle look at them, and softly said, “Since that’s the case, let’s go.”

Then she headed upstairs.

The stylists let out a sigh of relief inexplicably—the girl seemed easy to get along with and had none of the haughtiness they had feared.

Of course, it was good news for them that the employer was friendly, indicating that things could proceed smoothly. What they feared most was dealing with difficult and uncommunicative people, against whom you couldn’t speak out or lash out, leaving them to swallow their grievances.

The lives of those who work are lives too.

Song Ma led the group upstairs.

As the white door was slowly pushed open, an array of neatly arranged racks and exquisitely luxurious storage cabinets came into view, with various clothing and jewelry dazzling to the eye.

It was impossible to take it all in.

Zou Lin and the others’ eyes widened; they had been to famous places both domestically and internationally and were considered well-traveled, but they were still stunned into silence at this sight.

Every piece was a gem.

For instance, CHane’s Black Palace spring scarves, with only five globally limited editions, had just been announced and were already present here—in full, with all five colors collected.

Or take wal’s summer evening gown, personally crafted by the renowned designer Leinde, taking seven months to complete, and just as unique in its global limitation.

It was not available for rental; one could only purchase it directly. The last public price wal disclosed was as high as nine million green coins.

It had even trended on social media at the time, with netizens criticizing it as an exaggeration, asserting it wasn’t worth the price even if studded with diamonds.

Such a princess-style limited edition gown that excited girls all over the world just appeared here, shining and delicate.

It received no special treatment but hung normally like the other items; it wasn’t exactly neglected, given that every single article beside it was legendary too.

Radiant and competing in beauty, they were beyond comparison, leaving one dumbstruck.

What’s called an ultra-luxury grand walk-in closet, Zou Lin had finally witnessed—no, it should not be called a walk-in closet; considering this extraordinary standard, it should be called a shopping mall.

Ah Da walked to the gown section and touched the pink long dress that she had her eye on from the moment she entered—soft as water, luminous as mist, shimmering with light as beautiful as peach blossoms in spring.

“This is so beautiful.”

She had never seen such a gown.

Song Ma said from the side, “These gowns all arrived yesterday. Miss Ade can try one on. There will be another batch tomorrow, mainly because there wasn’t enough time to tailor for this event, so Miss Ade will have to make do.”
