Deng Xingwen's arrogant demeanor infuriated the staff.
She rolled her eyes at Lin Yusheng, then sat down at the vanity and commanded, "Get your makeup done."
No one spoke up because her relationship with Lu Zechuan was already widely known in the entertainment industry, and no one dared to offend her.
Luo Shuhua, being perceptive, quietly asked Lin Yusheng, "Do you know her?"
Luo Shuhua spoke softly because she was afraid of Deng Xingwen, but Lin Yusheng was not afraid of her at all.
She said in a normal voice, "I've known him for many years, he's just a defeated opponent."
"Who are you calling a defeated opponent?" Deng Xingwen glared at him angrily.
"You've already identified yourself with it, haven't you? Asking again won't change the answer, will it?"
Lin Yusheng's voice was calm, but it was enough to infuriate Deng Xingwen.
"you……"
"Ms. Deng, there are thousands of audience members waiting outside. Hurry up, or you can just skip your makeup and go on stage."
"Do you want to listen to the nonsense you're spouting? Have you ever seen anyone go on stage without makeup? Are you deliberately trying to mess with me?"
The staff member was so angry that his face turned red, and he leaned against the wall, panting heavily.
Lin Yusheng must have never known that Deng Xingwen was like this in private.
She couldn't stand it anymore.
"Look at how self-righteous you are, anyone who didn't know better would think you're the one paying the production team."
Although the variety show was intended to promote the drama, the production team still paid for the celebrities, as they also needed viewership.
The staff looked at Lin Yusheng with gratitude.
"Do you think I can't afford that little bit of money?" Deng Xingwen said arrogantly.
She was so engrossed in arguing with Lin Yusheng that she completely ignored the makeup artist who was making things difficult for her.
Lin Yusheng sneered, "Then why don't you give it to me? I'll choke to death if I don't."
Deng Xingwen choked. Lin Yusheng used to never bother arguing with her. When did she start to change?
"When you are in a good mood and act unforgivingly, you should think about how to deal with yourself when you are not in a good mood in the future."
If it weren't for the people behind Deng Xingwen, the staff would have applauded.
Xiang Yizhou and Du Liuyun, though they didn't speak, kept looking at Lin Yusheng in a friendly manner.
Deng Xingwen tilted her chin up and said, "I will never have that day."
"Then I'll wait and see." Lin Yusheng ignored her.
She turned to the staff and said, "All six of us are ready, and we can go on stage on time."
This also reminded the staff, and he immediately said, "I'll go talk to the director about the situation. You guys get ready, and if possible, go on stage first."
Deng Xingwen's eyes widened in disbelief. "You dare?"
“What do we have to be afraid of? Logically speaking, we are all employees with equal status, so why should we wait for you?” Lin Yusheng said.
Jiang Nanyi, who is the most senior, also spoke up, saying, "You're right. We can't delay my time to get off work. Please go and talk to the director."
Upon hearing this, the staff member who had just stopped laughed, said "okay," and ran off.
He acted as if he hadn't heard Deng Xingwen calling him.
Deng Xingwen has been very arrogant lately under Lu Zechuan's protection, and she has genuinely felt the joy that power and money bring.
But I never expected that today I would be completely ignored and provoked.
It's Lin Yusheng again. As long as Lin Yusheng is around, she will never have a good time.
Deng Xingwen said arrogantly, "If you're going to play, the four of you can play. None of the people from our Dynasty will play."
Xiang Yizhou and Du Liuyun were both from the imperial dynasty.
But unexpectedly, Xiang Yizhou said expressionlessly, "We have to go on stage. This is our job, and doing our job well is our responsibility."
Xiang Yizhou dared to offend Deng Xingwen because she was a high-profile celebrity and a popular artist. He was confident that the Dynasty would not abandon him because of Deng Xingwen.
In Deng Xingwen's view, this meant that even her own people weren't on her side, and they had slapped her in the face.
She was losing face. "Are you openly challenging me?"
“You’re not the only woman around President Lu. If every one of them could arrogantly order us around, the dynasty would have collapsed long ago,” Xiang Yizhou said.
Just then, the staff member who had been there earlier came running over, panting.
He said, "The director said that the six of you should go first, so as not to keep the audience waiting."
Everyone agreed, except for Deng Xingwen, whose face looked grim.
"Then what should I do?"
The staff member said, "It's up to you. If you don't want to play, give us your money back and pay a penalty."
The fact that this variety show has lasted so long must mean it has powerful backing and good reviews from the public. Deng Xingwen's mistake was thinking that the whole world was afraid of the Lu family.
Deng Xingwen was angry, but she couldn't retaliate. She almost bit her gums to pieces. She deliberately squeezed out the female lead and went on a variety show with the two male leads. How could she not go?
Six people went on stage first.
This variety show was recorded a week in advance and will air next week.
There were only a few thousand spectators below at the moment, but the cheers were still quite loud when the six people came on stage.
I originally thought that Lin Yusheng's fan base was relatively weak, which might make her feel a little awkward.
But unexpectedly, her generous distribution of red envelopes during that live stream earned her a lot of goodwill from the general public, so the cheers when she appeared were the loudest.
Moreover, there were a few shouts of "God of Wealth" mixed in.
Lin Yusheng covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
Just then, the screen switched to her, with red lips, black hair, and crescent-shaped eyes, eliciting a huge gasp of amazement from the audience.
The host immediately seized the opportunity and said, "It seems our audience really likes the guests' good looks. Next, let's give a warm round of applause to the cast and crew of 'Jianghu Order' and 'Ten Years'."
The audience erupted in thunderous applause.
Backstage, Deng Xingwen was so unwilling that she almost ground her teeth to powder. She angrily shouted at the makeup artist, "Hurry up!"
The makeup artist remained silent and restrained.
Back here, soon some people started discussing with confusion: "We were supposed to have seven people, so how come there are only six left?"
The host explained, "There's another guest getting their makeup done; they'll be joining us later."
Vague and ambiguous explanations are more likely to arouse suspicion among netizens.
"Alright, now let's have everyone introduce themselves to the audience. Who from our two production teams will go first?"
Both sides passed the buck, and finally the person from "Ten Years' Term" gave the introduction first.
"Hello everyone, my name is Xiang Yizhou, and I play Qin Xiao in 'Ten Years'."
...
The series concludes with Lin Yusheng's words: "Hello everyone, my name is Lin Yusheng, and I play the junior sister Chu Yuexi in 'Jianghu Ling'."
"Alright, please give them another round of applause as they arrive at our Friendship Hall."
"Xiangzhiguan" is the name of this program.
After the applause ended, the host asked everyone to sit on small chairs and chat.
They were just talking about their understanding of the characters.
This segment is usually included, but it's been particularly long today.
Everyone except the audience knew perfectly well that they were waiting for that giant Buddha statue.
Otherwise, if she arrives halfway through the game, it will be difficult to control the situation.
Deng Xingwen finally appeared in front of the front desk staff.
