87 Slap in the face
◎Full of aura, stunning the audience (plus more)◎
“I didn’t bribe, I and…”
A trace of anxiety flashed across Yu Wan's face. She was about to explain that she and the judge had only met once before at work, but before she could say anything, someone pulled her wrist. She subconsciously stopped talking and looked at Song Shixi who was holding her.
The latter shook his head disapprovingly at her and motioned her to be quiet.
But seeing that the situation was getting more and more out of control, how could Yu Wan just stand by and watch?
Song Shixi sighed helplessly. When faced with doubts and misunderstandings, many people would be eager to prove their innocence. This idea was not wrong, but the method was wrong. It would only make them lose the initiative. Instead, the more they explained, the more confusing it would become. Others would just ignore them and think they were just quibbling. It was completely useless!
Because they don't care about the truth, they only care about whether the outcome is good for them.
A response like Yu Wan's was pale and powerless. Moreover, she was gentle and spoke softly, without any deterrent or aura at all. Others might not even let her finish her words before sentencing her to death.
Now that they were both in the same boat, how could Song Shixi just sit there and watch Yu Wan get slandered? If Yu Wan withdrew from the competition unjustly, even though they would definitely give her her full compensation based on their personalities, she wouldn't be happy with the money.
In addition, her reputation will definitely be damaged along with Yu Wan, and she will have an extra black history, which will not benefit her career at all.
Thinking of this, Song Shixi gradually increased the strength of pulling Yu Wan and said in a low voice: "If you trust me, don't say anything for now."
Yu Wan was stunned when she heard Song Shixi's words. At this moment, Song Shixi let go of her hand, then suddenly picked up the lid of her makeup box and slammed it hard on the table.
As soon as this huge noise was heard, the scene immediately became quiet.
"That lady is right. Competitions should be fair and just."
Song Shixi glanced at Chen Huishi, who was standing in the crowd with her arms crossed and looking complacent, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. The latter met her gaze, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but then she immediately regained her composure.
But unexpectedly, the next second, that clear voice dropped another bombshell, "This score is obviously low. I want to apply for a re-evaluation."
This single statement caused a huge uproar. Everyone stared at the speaker in amazement. Seeing her sitting next to Yu Wan, they immediately understood and sneered, "How shameless! These days, makeup artists use backdoors, and even models are so arrogant?"
"Anyway, I will never work with this kind of model in the future."
"High expectations, low skills. Even 97 points is considered low, haha."
"Quickly disqualify this team and expel them. Do they deserve to continue participating in the competition? We demand a thorough investigation. We must not allow these pests to remain in the circle and corrupt the morale!"
"Cancel the results and conduct a thorough investigation!"
Everyone was talking back and forth, their spit almost spraying on others, but those who were so excited and seeking justice didn't notice that the people who had started the trouble and the people in the first and second rows had already stopped talking.
Song Shixi listened to them finish speaking before he stood up slowly. He looked around first, then looked at the makeup artist who spoke first, "You said we went through the back door? Show me the evidence."
With this movement, everyone could see the makeup on her face. Suddenly, the entire competition venue fell silent. The person's eyes widened and her mouth opened and closed, but she couldn't utter a word.
When talking about the ocean, the first thing that comes to mind is blue. Most makeup artists will use various shades of blue as the main color on the face, but this is monotonous and has no novelty, and it fails to make people's eyes bright.
But everyone forgets that the ocean is so beautiful because of the blessing of sunshine.
Yu Wan has been doing makeup for many years, and the color tone of her foundation is impeccable, blending perfectly with Song Shixi's skin tone. The combination of light and dark colors outlines more three-dimensional facial features.
Fill the eyebrows lightly according to the curvature of their growth. After blending them cleanly, use a darker color to fill them a second time to create a sense of lines, with each eyebrow clearly defined and soft without being stiff.
Use light blue eyeshadow as the base, then use sea blue to deepen it and fill in the roots of the eyelashes. Draw orange lines to cut off and extend it. Add some sequins to make it look like the sun is rising slowly from the sea level, sparkling and beautiful.
The focus of the makeup is on the eye makeup, which catches the eye immediately, but if you look closely at other details, they are still amazing.
As a senior makeup artist, Yu Wan’s makeup skills are far superior to those of ordinary makeup artists. Coupled with her innovation and sophistication, it can be said that she is perfect and refreshing in every aspect.
Ninety-seven points seems indeed low.
As soon as this thought came to mind, many people suddenly realized how ridiculous their previous unfounded attacks were in the face of absolute strength.
The person who spoke first was even paler. She was sitting in the first row and had seen No. 8's work clearly as soon as she finished speaking. At that time, she immediately realized that she had been impulsive.
Anyone who possesses such makeup skills must be a big shot in the industry. She offended him by speaking this way, and she might be retaliated against in the future.
She felt a thousand regrets in her heart, but she was also glad that someone spoke up for her at that time and muddied the waters completely. With so many people around, even if they were to blame, they might not remember her.
Just when she was feeling hopeless and uneasy, she saw the model from Team 8 pointing the finger at her accurately.
She bit her lower lip tightly, but facing Song Shixi's oppressive gaze, she couldn't remain calm at all. She stammered for a long time but couldn't make any sense of what she said.
"Not saying anything means there is no evidence? What about you?" Song Shixi took in everyone's reactions, a smile blooming on her lips, making her makeup look more lively and natural, coupled with her stunningly beautiful face, which made everyone unable to take their eyes off her.
Everyone else had witnessed Yu Wan's strength with their own eyes, so how could they dare to say anything? They all lost their sharp words and became cowards.
"Without evidence, it's just slander and defamation. There are many witnesses here today. I can call the police and sue you!" Song Shixi's face suddenly turned cold, and his aura frightened many people.
"How does this escalate to the point of calling the police? We're just seeking justice. We don't want to make a big deal out of this, and we certainly don't want to target anyone."
"Yeah, there's no need to make such a scene, right?"
"Anyone would have misunderstood under the circumstances just now. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, let it go."
Song Shixi didn't say anything, she just raised her eyelids and glanced around coldly. She looked pretty and harmless, but after what happened just now, who would dare to underestimate her?
"What if the misunderstanding isn't resolved? Wouldn't we be disqualified and kicked out?"
“…”
The troublemakers who were jumping around the most happily just now and wanted to kick Yu Wan's team out of the competition all lowered their heads guiltily and did not dare to meet her gaze.
You will never know how painful it is unless the needle pricks your body.
Song Shixi scoffed and ignored them. After a two-second pause, he sighed softly, "Actually, it's okay to just let this matter go. For us, we're just thankful to be able to continue participating in the competition."
Upon hearing this, although they could hear the sarcasm in the words, many people breathed a sigh of relief. Even the judges nodded secretly. After all, no one wanted to go to the police station.
But everyone also knew that Song Shixi would definitely have something else to say, probably something about compensation, and they all stared with wide eyes waiting for her next words.
Who would have thought that those big watery eyes suddenly looked at the judges standing beside them.
"The judges are all well-known figures in the industry, and their scoring is well-founded and fair. Isn't that obvious to everyone?"
"Yes, of course."
"Everyone is watching, and the scores are really amazing."
Who dares to dissent at a time like this? Naturally, one should just agree with the other and flatter him a little; it never hurts.
Several judges straightened their backs and nodded.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Song Shixi's eyes flashed, and the corners of his lips curled up almost imperceptibly, but then he exaggeratedly covered his lips, pretending to be afraid: "But it's easy to spread rumors, but it's hard to refute them. If the cost of spreading rumors is too low and there are no corresponding penalties, this incident today will definitely be spread out with exaggeration."
"In that situation, anyone would misunderstand. What if someone really believed that someone got a high score through backdoor entry..."
Although Song Shixi didn't finish what he was saying, everyone understood it.
If that situation really happens, not only will the reputation of the judges be ruined, the value and credibility of the competition will also be greatly reduced. Moreover, there will definitely be many people who want to take shortcuts and come in groups to bribe the judges. At that time, it will really corrupt the atmosphere and destroy fairness!
Who will dare to participate in the competition in the future?
The judges' expressions suddenly became very ugly. They looked at each other, gathered together and discussed in a low voice for a few words, and soon made a decision. The leading judge stood up and said a few official words, then comforted Yu Wan and Song Shixi, and then gave a solution.
First of all, Yu Wan’s score was raised from ninety-seven to ninety-nine.
Secondly, the makeup artist who first started spreading rumors was directly eliminated from the competition, and the others who jumped around the most had their scores reduced by ten points.
Finally, if this kind of situation happens again, whoever makes the claim must provide evidence. If there is no clear evidence and the claim is nonsense, the person will be expelled directly.
When this result came out, some were happy and some were sad. There were many voices of opposition, especially those who were demoted, who jumped out and shouted that it was unfair. However, the person who could host the competition was not an ordinary person. Seeing this, they called the security directly and kicked anyone out if they were not satisfied and made any more noise or trouble.
Those who had previously been clamoring to kick others out were now the ones being kicked out. Two of them couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears on the spot.
Watching this farce, Song Shixi was not moved at all, he just felt that it was what he deserved.
She hadn't forgotten the "big hero" who had initially fueled the situation. She raised her hand to tuck some hair away from her ear and casually said, "Some people don't even realize they're being used as a tool. How pitiful."
She spoke each word, her voice not particularly loud, but extremely clear.
Some of the smart ones reacted belatedly, clenched their back teeth, and glared at a yellow figure in the second row.
Before Chen Huishi could recover from the bad news of her score reduction, she heard Song Shixi's words and her whole body froze.
