Chapter 48 Jiang Ci is a Little Princess
"Sister Xi, why are you also wearing makeup to cover your face?"
Yuan Xi looked at Shen Xi, who was constantly adjusting the colors, with a curious gaze.
Shen Xi picked up her paintbrush, mixed water and colors, her gaze fixed on the task at hand. "The boss makes a request, and I dare not disobey."
Actually, Shen Ke's original words were, "If you bring makeup and sit in the audience, it's guaranteed to trend on social media, saving me a lot of money. That money can be used as a bonus for you. Save where you should and spend where you should."
Shen Xi still remembers casually asking how much a trending topic usually costs.
Shen Ke said, "One hundred million."
Yes, Shen Xi immediately agreed.
Upon hearing the word "boss," Yuan Xi immediately fell silent.
They have no right to gossip about their boss behind his back.
Shen Xi calmly put down the palette, the tip of her brush swaying in the water, instantly turning the clear water into a colorful mess.
She stood up and looked up; these seventeen teenagers were all her clients.
The boys sat in their respective seats in the dressing room, whispering excitedly and discussing the competition format for tonight's match.
Shen Xi stood at the top of the dressing corridor and clapped her hands in greeting.
"Fellow members, can you tell me what the theme of tonight's second performance is?"
Duohe spoke softly, looking into her eyes, "The theme of the second round is a fairy tale forest, and the dance style we drew is Hip-hop."
Shen Xi's eyes slowly swept over the eyes and features of the group of boys. After thinking for half a minute, she hesitated, "The theme seems a bit out of place with the dance style?"
Upon hearing this, the group of boys seemed to have found a kindred spirit. They nodded repeatedly, their eyes filled with tears. "Right? Right, Sister Xi? Even you say so. This time, the second round is a complete disaster."
The group of people immediately erupted into a heated discussion.
Yuan Xi stroked his gray hair in front of the mirror, accusingly saying in a blunt tone, "Comrades, you can keep pretending! One after another, you all say you dance badly, but you learn faster than anyone else during rehearsals. Only Sister Xi really believes you."
After he finished speaking, he winked at Shen Xi with his phoenix eyes, "Don't worry, Sister Xi, we've made some changes to the dance this time. Our Crane Team is a well-known all-around ACE."
"Headed Crane, don't you agree?"
Duohe blushed slightly at the praise, her gaze drifting over Shen Xi's face before quickly looking away.
Shen Xi followed procedure: "What kind of makeup and styling are you favoring for this performance?"
Just as she was about to introduce the different makeup and styling options, a young member immediately chimed in, "Sister Xi, can we create freely like you did before?"
Shen Xi raised her eyes, squinted slightly, and recognized the person as a member who had come up from Class F. She understood immediately.
Although the other members of Class B had not witnessed Shen Xi's makeup process firsthand, their makeup performance in the last public performance clearly benefited Class F.
The makeup for the second performance was highly anticipated, and they unintentionally gained a wave of fans.
"Last time, I used anthropomorphic illustrations from the Classic of Mountains and Seas for the makeup class in F. It's not impossible to use anthropomorphic illustrations again this time, but it mainly depends on you guys."
Shen Xi put down the heavy sketchbook beside her and said seriously, "You need to choose a unified style. A team cannot have multiple styles. If the makeup artist has any ideas, you can bring them up and I can consider adding them."
She paused, then softened her tone, "The makeup cannot be changed midway; that's my requirement."
Who could know the difficulty of changing makeup midway? If it's not done well, even without Shen Ke, fans and viewers will be cursing her mercilessly.
During the first performance, it was this kid from Class F who made her change her makeup midway through, and she almost missed her turn. Fortunately, Class F was the fifth to go on stage, and she managed to make it in time despite rushing.
But it left her with considerable psychological trauma at the time.
Her hands were shaking backstage when she finished the drawing.
After Shen Xi finished speaking, she returned to the dressing table and draped the shawl she had taken off onto the chair. She rolled up the sleeves of her ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), tied a ribbon knot, and only when she was satisfied that it wouldn't get paint on her skin did she feel satisfied.
Shen Ke has a sharp tongue. He was unhappy that she was wearing a coat and insisted that she fit in. But fortunately, he is also generous. When the first performance went viral and became a trending topic, he transferred 100,000 yuan of his prize money to her.
She immediately transferred the money to Assistant Li via mobile banking, noting that it was a repayment.
Now she is penniless again.
She wrapped the gray belt around her waist, rested her chin on her hand, and watched the group of boys discuss what makeup and styling they wanted. She glanced at the time; it was still early.
Duohe appeared behind her without her noticing. "Shen Xi, what kind of makeup and styling do you think suits me?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Xi subconsciously turned her head, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. It wasn't that she was narcissistic or anything; the members here either called her Teacher Shen or Sister Xi, and this was the first time someone had called her by her real name.
She didn't think too much about it. "I observed you during the first public performance. You are suited to extreme makeup looks, either cool and indifferent or alluring and seductive."
Duohe was born to be the protagonist on that stage. He was beautiful and charming, and he was surrounded by a sense of loneliness that seemed to be looking at flowers through the mist.
Shen Xi had been curious about why he was assigned to Class F, but she didn't ask any further questions.
There are some things here that you can't understand, so it's best not to think about them anymore.
Upon hearing the reply from the person in front of him, Duohe lowered his eyes, his fingers rubbing together, and he almost blurted out the words.
What about you? What do you think of me?
But he dared not. Looking at Shen Xi's exquisite and beautiful face, he felt a chill run down his spine and remained silent, pursing his lips.
Shen Xi noticed that everyone was looking at him, especially Yuan Xi, whose milky gray hair was particularly eye-catching. He winked at her.
"Sister Xi, we all think your makeup looks better. Let's go one by one."
The seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys all looked very well-behaved, and each of them was a handsome young man dressed up nicely.
"Okay, I'll do your makeup now, everyone please line up and come to me."
……
Jiang Ci has been transferred out of the ICU.
The first thing he asked when he came out was, "How is Jiangdu?"
Hua Lan told him that the child was alright now.
Immediately afterwards, in full view of everyone, he asked, "Where is Shen Xi?"
After the question was asked, everyone fell silent.
Hua Lan was a little confused: "Didn't you just get divorced not long ago?"
Jiang Ci's expression instantly turned quite grim, clearly recalling the foolish thing he had done some time ago.
His narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes were slightly upturned, and his long, thick eyelashes concealed the mist in his eyes as he murmured softly, "Who says you can't remarry after a divorce?"
"Oh, remarriage? That's great! Who do you want to remarry?"
Zhou Li was squatting to the side peeling an apple when he suddenly stood up. For a moment, his mouth didn't keep up with his brain, and he blurted out...
Jiang Li covered her mouth and chuckled to herself, inwardly giving him a thumbs up for his courage. Their Jiang Ci had been like a little princess since he was a child, very proud and arrogant. If you went along with him, he would be fine, but if you provoked him, he would immediately fly into a rage. When he got angry, the whole family would have to come up with all sorts of ingenious methods to appease him.
So, from a young age, she was given the nickname Princess Jiang.
