The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy

Chapter 783 - 771

"I’ll treat you to a Western meal! I got my internship salary. Let me tell you, Qi Xun Design Company is really generous; they even pay interns such a high salary," Qiao Xi said excitedly. "It’s exhausting, but it’s worth it to be closer to my idol!"

"What did you say my Third Brother’s company is called?" Qiao Qiqi remembered it wasn’t named that.

"Qi Xun. I heard it was recently changed. Why the change? Hehehe, you know, right?" Qiao Xi was envious of her cousin; her idol treated her so well! To be able to use her sister’s name, he even changed the company’s long-standing name.

"..."

"Come on, I called a car," Qiao Xi said, raising her phone.

The two sisters arrived at a Western restaurant, just a very ordinary one. Qiao Xi couldn’t afford anything too expensive. She was renting a place on her own, and the rent in the Capital City was indeed high. She was sharing a place with others, and even a small pathetic bedroom cost her five thousand yuan!

But she was scared to live in urban villages, so she gritted her teeth and rented a safer apartment complex.

"How’s work going there?" Qiao Qiqi asked while eating her steak. It was true that you get what you pay for; there was no way this steak could compare to that of a Michelin-starred restaurant.

"It’s great. I think my idol is really amazing. The company has its own promotion system; whoever has the capability can move up. I’ve been extremely busy every day, haven’t closed my eyes before midnight," Qiao Xi said excitedly. She was truly happy, feeling she finally found her place to shine.

She wasn’t afraid of hardship, as long as it helped her improve herself and promised a good future, a little hard work and struggle was nothing.

Moreover... she could get even closer to her idol.

"You should take care of your health too."

Among many relatives, Qiao Qiqi really admired this cousin. She was beautiful and kind-hearted, and driven, without any of her mom’s bad habits.

"I know. I eat well every day. I’m willing to spend money on this; getting my health right is the foundation for everything," Qiao Xi said while taking big bites of beef.

"Absolutely right," Qiao Qiqi agreed wholeheartedly with her cousin’s point.

"Oh, by the way, come with me to buy some clothes later. My boss said I dress too frumpy! Although I don’t want to change much, since my boss has an opinion, I better compromise."

"Sure."

After eating, the cousins went shopping together. Qiao Qiqi almost never bought clothes for herself because no matter where she went, her wardrobe was always full.

She didn’t even know who got them for her, and styles would be updated regularly. She guessed the old ones were phased out, leaving only the new ones for her.

Qiao Xi didn’t want to buy anything too expensive, so she looked at some affordable brands. Qiao Qiqi gave her some advice, and Qiao Xi only bought two outfits to switch around.

"Oh, isn’t this my country cousin? What brings you to the Capital City to shop for clothes!"

An unfriendly voice rang out. Qiao Qiqi and Qiao Xi looked over and saw Sun Zi walking in with a group of friends.

Since Sun Zi had been publicly embarrassed by Qiao Qiqi last time, she held a grudge against her and didn’t want to see her. She didn’t even attend Old Mrs. Qiao’s funeral.

Unexpectedly, they met here by sheer bad luck.

"Sun Zi? Long time no see," Qiao Xi recognized Sun Zi, mainly because she still looked just like she did as a child, sharp and mean, as annoying as ever.
