◎There must be something fishy going on here!◎
Seeing that both of them were looking at her, a hint of unnaturalness flashed in Chen Huishi's eyes, but her face was still full of regret. She thought that after saying this, no matter what, she would always ask a question next.
Who would have thought that no one spoke at all, and the scene immediately fell into silence, with a hint of awkwardness.
Chan Wai-shi always felt that the other party had seen through her shameful little thoughts, but no one gave her a way out, so she could only stay where she was, neither high nor low, suffering greatly.
Fortunately, at this time, the model she was paired with asked her for some water from her bag, and she immediately made an excuse and left in shame.
“I used to think queuing was boring, but now I don’t.”
Song Shixi curled the corners of his lips with interest, and his eyes circled around to a place less than two or three meters away. There, a woman in a yellow skirt was frantically searching for something in her bag.
If you have bad intentions, you must be able to withstand being exposed. If you don't even have this little bit of pressure resistance, you still learn to poke at other people's sore spots and steal their girls, without fear of being laughed at.
"Yeah, I made you laugh."
Yu Wan smiled awkwardly. On the one hand, she felt speechless, and on the other hand, she felt that Chen Huishi's methods were despicable, and she had embarrassed herself in front of Song Shixi for no reason, which made her feel unlucky.
Hearing this, Song Shixi realized that Yu Wan seemed to have an unusual relationship with that person, and couldn't help but look at Yu Wan twice more out of curiosity.
Yu Wan pursed her lips, thinking that Song Shixi was now half her own, and since they were all contestants, they would likely have to interact with each other during this period. It would be better to make things clear to avoid any trouble next time. Besides, it wasn't a secret, so she explained, "She used to work under me."
Only then did Song Shixi realize that the person's name was Chen Huishi.
When Yu Wan worked in a big company, she was a true ace makeup artist. She was famous and a senior. She managed many young makeup artists, and Chen Huishi was one of them.
She was the youngest and liked to follow Yu Wan around and talk about everything. Over time, Yu Wan treated her like a half-apprentice, taking her with her wherever she went, teaching her various makeup techniques and introducing her to many connections.
Yu Wan originally thought that although the two of them did not have a formal master-disciple ceremony, their friendship was very different from that of others.
But when she was exploited by the company both openly and covertly and chose to go out on her own, Chan Wai-shi decisively drew a line with her and turned to work for a veteran makeup artist from the rival company.
It was not until then that Yu Wan saw the other person's true face, and the two of them stopped communicating from then on.
How could Yu Wan remain calm when the apprentice she had spent so much time and energy training betrayed her? Her sincerity had gone to waste. She was physically and mentally exhausted during that time, and she had to prepare for studio-related matters, spending sleepless nights. If it weren't for her family's company, she would have been completely ruined.
Fortunately, after the studio opened, she continued to thrive and was not affected at all. On the contrary, her business was getting better and better. Otherwise, she would have been laughed at.
But, man proposes, God disposes...
The two haven't seen each other for almost two years. As soon as they met, Chan Wai-shi was sarcastic and mocking. Faced with such an attitude, it would be a lie to say that I don't care at all and I'm not heartbroken.
Looking at Yu Wan's eyes that could not hide her disappointment, Song Shixi also felt very sad, but he did not think it was a bad thing.
Don't hold any past feelings for such a person. The right solution is to break up completely.
Fortunately, Chan Wai-shi is a brainless idiot who doesn't even want to put on a good show. Does this mean that she has determined that Yu Wan has no chance of making a comeback?
People who are selfish, opportunistic, and betray their "master" are despised by everyone no matter what era or industry they are in.
But often such fence-sitters don't live too badly, which is really hateful. But those who step on others to get to the top, even if they are successful for a while, can they still be successful for the rest of their lives?
It’s not that there is no retribution, it’s just that the time has not come yet.
Everyone understands this truth, but very few can truly remain calm.
When they met again, their situations were reversed. No wonder Yu Wan's expression was so complicated and ugly when she first saw her.
It's really difficult for Chan Wai Sze. As the person involved, she must be aware of everything that happened between the two of them, but she still took the initiative to step forward and say hello as if nothing had happened. I'm afraid her face is thicker than a city wall.
Song Shixi patted Yu Wan's shoulder and comforted her, "Let's just live our own lives and avoid contact with people like that."
"Well, thank you." Yu Wan smiled at Song Shixi and quickly adjusted her mentality.
It wasn't long before everyone lined up to enter the different competition venues. The originally noisy atmosphere suddenly quieted down, and everyone couldn't help but have a hint of nervousness on their faces.
The first thing that catches your eye as you enter the door is twenty neatly arranged tables and chairs. The tables are used to place makeup boxes, and the chairs are for models to sit on.
There was a number on each table. Song Shixi and Yu Wan were the eighth in the group, sitting in the third seat in the second row, facing the judges' seats, which was a good position.
Wai-shi Chan and her model were the first in the second row, with tables and chairs by the edge.
Song Shixi glanced over and saw that Chen Huishi's face darkened, as if she was extremely dissatisfied with this arrangement. She lightly withdrew her gaze.
The judges on the stage began to announce the theme of the competition. There were only two words written in black and white - ocean.
This theme was quite easy to understand, and the makeup artists quickly began to open their makeup boxes and carefully select the cosmetics they would use.
During the competition, the makeup artist and the model could not communicate, so Song Shixi and Yu Wan did not communicate at all. The former sat quietly on the chair, opening and closing her eyes from time to time. The two cooperated well and were far ahead of other teams.
After registering, Yu Wan had guessed various themes. Shenzhen is close to the sea, so she had of course taken it into consideration a long time ago. After meeting Song Shixi in person, she also made improvements based on her appearance features. So at this moment, she was not panicked at all and put on the makeup that she had prepared long ago in an orderly manner.
At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh again that Song Shixi's skin and facial features are truly one in a million, and there are no flaws at all. A lot of steps can be saved.
But at the same time, if her skills are not good or she does it perfunctorily, it is easy to make such a beautiful face ugly.
So Yu Wan did not dare to take it lightly. She carefully carved out the details and checked it several times before raising her hand to indicate that she had completed the work. After receiving the judges' signal, she stood quietly aside, waiting for the competition time to end.
As soon as Yu Wan raised her hand, many makeup artists present looked at her, and those with poor mental qualities inevitably began to panic.
Chan Wai Sze couldn't help but frown, and her hand trembled, almost making her eyeliner crooked. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down, but Yu Wan finished her makeup so quickly that it still disrupted her rhythm.
Everyone was fighting for their chance, so she couldn't fall too far behind and let Yu Wan look down on her. Besides, the faster she finished, the deeper the impression she would leave on the judges, and the higher her score would likely be.
Thinking of this, Chen Huishi gritted her teeth, sped up, and then hurriedly raised her hand.
When she realized that she was the second one to finish, Chen Huishi breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but look in the direction of Yu Wan and the others. Unfortunately, the other party didn't even bother to look at her.
Chen Huishi didn't care. She looked at Song Shixi's face. After seeing the makeup on half of her face, her heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously looked back at her work, her fingertips sinking into her palms, revealing a hint of blood.
The bell rang to signal the end of the competition, and the judges stood up from their seats, walked to the contestants' tables, and scored them one by one.
The scores in the first row were not very high. I thought the judges were conservative in their scoring at the beginning, but after seeing those people's works, I felt that they were worth that much.
The highest score appeared in the first work in the second row, which was Chan Wai Sze’s work.
"Eighty-nine points."
Her makeup skills cannot be called sophisticated and mature, but her makeup is unique and fits the theme. Song Shixi took a look and thought it was okay. It seems that Miss Chen is quite good, otherwise she would not have been favored by Yu Wan and stayed in a big company for so long.
Looking at the smug look that Chen Huishi couldn't help revealing, Song Shixi sneered and didn't look over there anymore.
As expected, when the judges walked over to them, Chan Wai Sze could no longer smile, her lips were taut and seemed to be tilted downwards.
"Teacher Yu?"
One of the judges recognized Yu Wan and sounded a little surprised, but when he recalled the rumors he had heard, he suppressed the questions that were about to come to his lips.
Yu Wan looked calm. She did not try to build relationships or flatter others at this time. She just said hello and waited quietly for the scores to come out.
"Ninety-seven points."
Hearing this number, almost everyone looked over. Yu Wan slowly breathed a sigh of relief, a smile on the corner of her lips, and she bent down to gesture neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"So high? Why?"
Someone raised questions in a high-pitched tone, clearly expressing disapproval.
The person who said this was the first one in the first row. Her score just passed the passing line. With such a low score, there was a high possibility that she would be eliminated in the first round. She was feeling melancholy when she heard such an astronomical figure and subconsciously raised her voice to refute it.
Plus, everyone's attention was now on the judges, so any slight movement would be seen and heard. So everyone saw their greeting just now, and she was no exception. So, she snorted sarcastically, "But it's not surprising. After all, they know the judges."
At first, no one dared to agree, until a female voice followed up, "Yeah, this competition has to be fair, right? If everyone goes backstage, what's the point of competing?"
Hearing this, Song Shixi knew who it was without even turning around. He couldn't help but glance at Yu Wan. Her expression didn't change much, but her trembling eyelashes still revealed some of her emotions.
"I don't agree either. He's only three points away from a perfect score. There must be something fishy going on here."
"That's right, change the judges!"
The scene suddenly became noisy. The judges were suspected of cheating and were so angry that they almost threw away the score sheets in their hands.
The judge who called out Yu Wan was both angry and regretful. If she had known, she would have kept her mouth shut! But to be fair, she had given Yu Wan a lower score just now to avoid suspicion. Who would have thought that she would be slandered like this?
