Chapter 145 Whitening Mask Business is Expanding
Shen Jiang left the area with Godwin, feeling neither the pleasure of revenge nor the guilt of having ruined a life. She felt an unprecedented peace, for now, she had finally removed the landmine that had been buried in her and her grandmother's lives.
As for Su Qing, Shen Jiang's eyes flashed with silent mockery. Let her experience for herself what true helplessness and despair felt like.
When Shen Jiang saw Yao Qian again, he almost didn't recognize her. The main reason was that Yao Qian's mental state had changed so much. Although the festering abscesses on her face had only begun to scab over, her confidence seemed to have returned, and her whole body exuded an indescribable radiance.
A person is really two different people depending on whether there is light in his eyes or not.
Yao Qian: "Doctor Shen, I've been waiting for you all afternoon, and you're finally back!"
Shen Jiang had never imagined that she was waiting for him. This was the first time a patient had been waiting for her. Remember, a month ago, she had to shamelessly poach patients from other experienced doctors.
Shen Jiang was a little surprised and indescribably moved. This waiting based on trust slightly calmed the emotions that were still surging in her heart.
"Doctor Shen, I'm going to be on a TV show in two weeks. Can you heal my face before then?" Yao Qian asked with a smile, her eyes filled with anticipation and yearning. She admitted she was a little greedy. When her face looked hopeless, she simply hoped the pimples would go away. Now that the pimples have finally subsided, she can't help but long for a return to her smooth, fair complexion.
Shen Jiang suddenly understood. She had waited for another reason: to share this good news with her. Shen Jiang finally understood why Yao Qian's facial irritation was so intense. It wasn't simply because someone was jealous of her beauty; they were trying to completely oust Yao Qian from the entertainment industry.
Shen Jiang gave her an affirmative smile: "Congratulations, then I have to work harder and try to make you look beautiful in front of the camera."
If it were the old herbs from the shop, half a month would have been too long, at least two or three months. But these herbs grown in Longshan in this other world were of astonishing quality and had remarkable efficacy. Half a month was more than enough time. Besides the medicinal masks, Shen Jiang could even make a few whitening and hydrating masks for Yao Qian.
Yao Qian was deeply moved upon hearing this. From childhood, she had always been admired for her striking looks, and everyone she saw was kind. But in the past two years, after losing her greatest advantage, she discovered that there was so much malice in life that she had previously been oblivious to. She had seen many doctors, but they either treated her as a fool or looked at her distorted face with disgust.
"Dr. Shen, thank you so much this time. Don't worry, I'll recommend you on the show if I have the chance."
Shen Jiang looked at her sincere face and the bumps on her face that had just scabbed over, and sighed inexplicably.
This silly and innocent girl still doesn't know that her face became like this because someone poisoned her. If she becomes really famous in the future, maybe someone will eat her bones whole.
Unbeknownst to Shen Jiang, the woman before her had actually been famous for a while. She had been chosen by the program team simply because she perfectly matched their criteria for finding someone who was once incredibly popular but now largely unknown. Shen Jiang never paid attention to the entertainment industry, let alone spent her time watching TV, so she had no idea who the celebrity was in front of her, the beautiful, curvaceous woman.
Looking into her frank and fiery eyes, Shen Jiang suddenly felt reluctant to tell her the truth. Right now, she needed a boost in morale. If he told her the real reason for her rotten face, would she become timid and even lose trust in others?
It is easy to cure a disease but difficult to heal a heart. But who else can help her face the difficulties in life except herself?
Shen Jiang thought of herself in the dream. She was like a clown being played with by others because she did not know the truth. She had clearly predicted her future destiny in advance, but she did not realize the true evil of human heart until today.
Shen Jiang's expression suddenly turned serious. "Don't worry about your face for now. I'll definitely heal it before you go on the show. Now, I have something more important to tell you."
Yao Qian was stunned for a moment. Seeing Dr. Shen so serious, her heart began to beat nervously.
What could be more important than these horrible things on her face?
Yao Qian couldn't help but straighten her body, even almost holding her breath. Shen Anlian was originally reading a medical book on the table opposite Shen Jiang. Suddenly, she looked up at her granddaughter and found that there was no haze in her eyes. She lowered her head and continued reading.
Shen Jiang: "The reason why your face has such severe ulcers is not because of the stress from staying up late filming."
Yao Qian blinked her eyes, as if to say: Why is that?
Shen Jiang looked at the pair of eyes that seemed to be able to speak, so big and bright, and simply radiant, and thought: Beauty is indeed an extremely rare resource, but without sufficient wisdom and ability, it is simply a disaster.
Shen Jiang: "It's poisoning. I'm not sure if it was man-made or accidental, but I can tell you very clearly that it's poisoning. The medicine you've been taking these days is to remove the toxins that have accumulated in your body."
Yao Qian was stunned, her big eyes filled with shock and confusion.
Half a month later.
Yao Qian arrived at the recording location with a calm expression, and only occasionally showed a bit of wariness towards the people around her.
This time the program team chose her and gave her a dark and popular script that other actresses avoided.
According to the contract and the script, Yao Qian must play the role of a qualified out-of-date female star who is "crazy about becoming famous" in the show, and show her utilitarian and competitive spirit at all times in the show.
In reality, Yao Qian doesn't really think this is a case of "black celebrity" at all. Which celebrity doesn't want to be famous? Which celebrity hasn't worked tirelessly to snatch up resources and endorsements? It's just that everyone superficially wants to create the image of an artist who lives a peaceful life, indifferent to fame and fortune and solely pursuing their dreams. After all, that's what fans like.
In reality, the production team didn't consider this ambitious characterization a flaw. However, they had seen Yao Qian a few months prior, and her face, bruised and stained, with a red envelope oozing pus and blood, was enough to put viewers off at first sight. Adding such a hilariously negative script, it's a case of ambition and a fragile life. They could all imagine the furious outcry the show would draw upon the airing.
Yao Qian didn't know it at the moment, but the production team had also assigned her a control group. That was Li Yiyi, the actress they were trying to promote. She'd starred in numerous TV dramas, but despite her sweet looks, she'd never really caught on. Li Yiyi's role was that of a humble, sincere, and unassuming veteran, a star-studded character, a stark contrast to Yao Qian. Not only would she win the audience's favor through her interactions with her, but she'd also defeat her in crucial competitions, riding on her coattails to become the audience's undeniable winner.
But Li Yiyi knew it, because her face changed as soon as she recognized Yao Qian.
"Didn't they say her face was so rotten that it was disgusting to look at? What's going on?" Li Yiyi took a photo of Yao Qian and sent it to her agent, asking him to confirm with the program crew as soon as possible.
Yao Qian has such a bright and dazzling face that makes people unable to take their eyes off her, but the production team chose her as a stepping stone to promote themselves? Did the production team think she was stupid?
Li Yiyi felt that when the show was broadcast, the person who would be criticized and criticized might not be Yao Qian, but her.
Yao Qian's script was urgently changed.
When the production team notified her, they were even angrier than she was, their faces flushed with anger: "What's wrong with your face? Didn't you say you had a severe facial allergy?"
The director looked angry as if he had been deceived.
Yao Qian smiled slightly, her eyes bright and her teeth white.
"You may not believe this, but I met a miracle doctor in the past two weeks..."
Director: What a miracle doctor! He thought he was a fool! How could he turn her horrible face into such a smooth and clean one in just two weeks?
"Anyway, the previous script is invalid, you have to follow this script now!" the director said unhappily.
You have to know that one of the sponsors of their program is Li Yiyi's financial backer. If they offend Li Yiyi, they can't even think about recording the program.
This little change didn't change Yao Qian's expression at all. She just said "Oh" indifferently without saying a word. However, the director's prepared speech had no room to play, so he could only leave with a grim face.
Yao Qian casually flipped through the script and found that the new characters were more interesting, so she began to read it carefully.
This time, she will play the role of a beautiful vase who is spoiled, self-righteous and doesn't listen to the opinions of her teammates.
Yao Qian smiled. This long-lost feeling was so exciting that it was hard for her to be upset. After all, this was the only script she had received in the past two years.
It's acting, no matter where you are acting.
It must be said that Yao Qian's face was so authoritative that not only did the female stars on the scene pay special attention to her, but even when the show was broadcast, the audience were all sighing:
“Whenever the camera cuts past Yao Qian, it’s like a soft light filter is automatically applied.”
"What has Yao Qian been eating these years? Why does she seem even younger and prettier than she was a few years ago?"
"Did she offend someone in that last film 'Beauty Strategy'? What director deserves a beating for filming such a beautiful sister like that?"
Since Yao Qian tried her best to play the role of a delicate and domineering beautiful vase, Li Yiyi was very satisfied and the production team was relieved. The production team even deliberately reduced the shots of Yao Qian's face and only gave her shots of acting like a demon.
But when the show was broadcast, they were dumbfounded.
Although Yao Qian was obviously being pretentious and acting on her own without giving anyone any face, the audience could still sense the couple relationship between Yao Qian and many of the female guests, and even created such a weird hashtag #Who is Yao Qian's true couple#.
Yao Qian herself didn't expect things to develop in such a bizarre direction, but no one blamed her; it wasn't just luck. The production team gave her a character and a script, but they didn't say she couldn't enrich that character. Based on the original script, Yao Qian deliberately redesigned the details.
The team members were all runners-up brought in by the production team, with varying abilities. The only song suitable for their team was also chosen by Li Yiyi's team. Yao Qian acted quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, directly snatching the song that Li Yiyi's team wanted, with a calm attitude that showed no psychological burden at all.
The program crew coaxed the frustrated Li Yiyi: You are still fighting and arguing, it's really low, we will make sure to cut out her face like this.
As a result, netizens commented sharply: Yao Qian’s mental state is very advanced. She does not pay for other people’s emotions. She grabs songs based on her own ability without internal friction. I want to learn from her!
For example, when her teammates wanted to drag Yao Qian to practice dance moves late at night, Yao Qian tore off the already solidified mud mask and said, "No, I need to get some beauty sleep after applying the mask. I'll get up early tomorrow to practice."
The next day, the scene of Yao Qian getting up early to practice was edited by the production team, and she was even paired with a scene of her being the only one sleeping soundly in the dormitory.
Program team: Look at how lazy and gluttonous he is, he thought he came to the program team to enjoy himself.
But Yao Qian's stunning looks during competitions are hard to resist, with netizens commenting: "No wonder Qianqian has such great skin! It's all thanks to her regular beauty sleep!" By the way, has anyone figured out the brand of face mask she uses every day?
Soon, the term #尧茜面膜# became a hot search again.
Yao Qian was extremely happy when she saw this free hot search, even happier than when she won the competition herself.
"Dr. Shen, the mask you used on me is trending on social media! Hurry and stock up! I'm officially going to recommend it to you!"
Shen Jiang was immediately happy when he received the news from Yao Qian.
"Congratulations, big star. I watched the show and your performance was brilliant."
But what Yao Qian said did remind her that if a female celebrity with good traffic personally promoted her products, there would definitely be a lot of people coming to her, so she should be prepared in advance.
Shen Jiang called Boss Chen without hesitation: "Boss Chen, would our pharmaceutical factory consider expanding into the facial mask business?"
Applying for patents, qualifications, and batch numbers are tedious, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, so it's just right to leave it to Boss Chen.
