The makeup artist continued to clean up, completely ignoring Li Li's words. "Who knows who your Xingchen is? She didn't come to the dressing room to put on her makeup herself, so who can you blame?"
Li Li: "Aren't we here yet?"
The makeup artist was a little impatient. "It's so late, go away, don't delay me from getting off work."
"You..." Li Li was so angry that she almost cried, her face full of grievance.
The makeup artist picked up the powder puff on the table and was about to put it back where it belonged. Unexpectedly, as soon as her hand touched the powder puff, she felt a strong force holding her hand down.
She looked up and saw a girl with short hair, a cold face, and a very cool and arrogant look.
Perhaps her hand was a little painful, so she yelled angrily: "What are you doing? Let go!"
Her hands were in so much pain that she almost lost all feeling.
The makeup artist's shouting attracted other staff in the dressing room. When they saw Xia Xingchen's actions, they immediately concluded that she was bullying the staff on the spot.
They all pointed fingers at Xia Xingchen.
Xia Xingchen looked at the makeup artist with cold eyes and said word by word, "I can choose not to put on makeup, but you have to apologize to my assistant."
Seeing her colleagues gathered around, the makeup artist felt confident and pooh-poohed Xia Xingchen. She said smugly, "Don't you see what you're doing? Should I apologize to her or should you apologize to me?"
Only then did Xia Xingchen notice the people around him.
Seeing this, Li Li hurriedly walked to Xia Xingchen and gently tugged at her clothes, "Xingchen, forget it."
Xia Xingchen let go of her hand for Li Li's sake and said, "I'll let you go this time."
The moment Xia Xingchen's hand left, the makeup artist felt as if her hand was about to break, and her facial features began to distort in pain.
This woman is really strong! ?
Xia Xingchen said to Li Li, "Let's go."
Li Li said worriedly: "But, your makeup..."
Xia Xingchen: "It won't melt!"
Anyway, these netizens' attention will not be on her.
It doesn’t matter whether it transforms or not!
Just when Xia Xingchen was about to leave with Li Li, the makeup artist standing behind them refused to work.
She took advantage of the fact that she was surrounded by her colleagues and started to act like a bully. "You bullied me, and you want to leave without even saying sorry?"
"Don't go too far." Xia Xingchen turned his head, his face calm, but his voice was frighteningly cold.
Hearing this, the makeup artist started to complain: "Listen everyone, she broke my hand, not only did she not apologize, but her attitude was so rude. If you don't give me an explanation today, I will never let you go!"
This sentence was like a fuse, making everyone around him very angry.
They all blamed Xia Xingchen.
"That's not true. Don't listen to her nonsense. She is clearly wrong..." Li Li tried to explain for Xia Xingchen, but how could her one mouth be worth ten mouths of others?
Her words were drowned out by the accusations of the crowd.
Xia Xingchen turned around and slowly approached the makeup artist. The makeup artist covered her injured hand and was actually a little timid. "What... do you want to do?"
"I can apologize to you, but you have to think carefully about whether you can bear this apology." Xia Xingchen said it calmly, but the makeup artist was very nervous when she heard it. "What do you mean by this?"
Xia Xingchen pursed her lips. "There are surveillance cameras in the dressing room. Tell me, if we turn on the surveillance and let the director see your condescending attitude, do you think everyone will say you have a bad attitude?"
The makeup artist glared at her, her face flushed with anger. "Are you threatening me?"
Xia Xingchen raised an eyebrow, "Just telling the truth."
"I advise you to think it over carefully. Otherwise, it will not only break your hand, but also your career!"
The staff who were watching couldn't hear what the two were saying, they were just talking among themselves. Suddenly, one of the staff recognized Xia Xingchen.
"Hey? Why does she look so much like Xia Xingchen?"
"Xia Xingchen?"
"Is it Xia Xingchen who was involved in a scandal with the Crown Prince some time ago?"
"It doesn't seem like a rumor, does it? The prince's biological mother has already refuted the rumors for them!"
"Yes, I seem to have heard that there is only one artist named Xia in our recording today, and it should be Xia Xingchen in front of us."
"I never thought that as a singer, I became famous not because of my works, but because of men..."
The more people talked about it, the more heated it became. There were even fearless staff members who took out their phones to start recording videos just to get some attention. The video also had a commentary: The prince's rumored girlfriend, Xia Xingchen, broke the makeup artist's hand in the dressing room!
"What are you all doing here?" At this moment, a majestic and sharp voice resounded in the dressing room.
The dressing room suddenly fell silent.
The staff member who was recording the video quickly turned off the video and put the phone in his pocket.
"The program recording is about to start, and you are still gathered here. Do you all want to leave?" The director was furious.
They all lowered their heads and accepted the scolding.
Only the makeup artist walked over, pointed at Xia Xingchen, and said aggrievedly: "Director, it was this woman who started the trouble first and broke my hand."
Then, there was a loud slap and the makeup artist was slapped to the ground.
The makeup artist was stunned by the sudden slap!
She could still vaguely hear the director's angry voice swirling above her head, "You're still here stirring up trouble. I've watched the surveillance footage, and it was clearly you who started it, yet you're trying to shift the blame onto Miss Xia..."
"Now pack up and get out! We don't want a makeup artist like you with such low professional ethics!"
“What a shame!”
As soon as the director said this, everyone looked at the makeup artist with contempt.
"Do you want to get out with her?" The director said angrily, looking at the staff around him.
In less than a second, everyone dispersed.
At this moment, the makeup artist sitting on the ground felt like she was dreaming. It was not until she saw the director in front of her flattering Xia Xingchen respectfully that she believed that all this was true.
She crawled to Xia Xingchen's feet in a panic and begged humbly, "Ms. Xia, it's all my fault. I apologize to you and your assistant. It's all my fault. Please ask the director for mercy and don't fire me..."
"I've worked here for so many years. If you fire me, I won't be able to continue in this industry..."
"Get out of here!" The director kicked her away, and seeing that she was still sticking to him like a dog-skin plaster, he quickly asked the security guard to carry her away.
Li Li was a little scared when she saw the makeup artist's miserable appearance and heart-wrenching screams!
The director said sternly to the other makeup artists, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and put on Miss Xia's makeup."
So, several makeup artists rushed to do Xia Xingchen's makeup.
The director humbly showed Xia Xingchen to a seat, "Miss Xia, please."
In a corner of the dressing room, Mu Jin watched all this quietly. When he saw that the matter was done, he turned and left.
The next second, he came in front of the staff who had just recorded the video!
