There was still half an hour before the press conference officially started. Dai Shutao sat down on the chair after everyone had put on their makeup. She glanced at the mirror inadvertently and happened to see Qi Hemei looking at her in the same direction.
When Qi Hemei's eyes met Dai Shutao's, she seemed to be frightened and quickly looked away. At the same time, Dai Shutao could clearly hear two words uttered from her mouth.
"unlucky."
As for who the unlucky person she was talking about was, you could tell without asking.
For self-righteous out-of-date stars like these, the thing they fear most is having their respected reputation stripped away.
After being rudely ridiculed by Dai Shutao in front of everyone, Qi Hemei had become a thorn in her side and was eager to find an opportunity to find fault with her.
Now that Hu Ke and Xiao Xu were gone, Qi Hemei felt more confident. She waved the decorative fan in her hand and slowly approached Dai Shutao.
"Isn't she a big star? Why are you still wearing makeup? Don't your fans always praise you for being naturally beautiful? In my opinion, you should just go without makeup. Putting on too much makeup doesn't fit the theme of our photoshoot."
The theme of this public service announcement is to return to the purest self. In order to respond to the theme, Dai Shutao specially asked a makeup artist to put on light makeup for herself.
Qi Hemei's words made the makeup artist couldn't help but look at her.
Qi Hemei's already stiff face was covered with countless layers of foundation. At her strong request, the makeup artist could only apply loose powder on Qi Hemei's face layer by layer.
As a result, whenever Qi Hemei speaks, powder will fall off her face, her eyeshadow is a deathly green, her thick eyelashes seem to be able to kill a fly with a single movement, and her lipstick is the darkest cherry color, as if she has been poisoned.
When it comes to heavy makeup, Qi Hemei claims to be second to none.
"Thank you, sorry for the trouble."
Dai Shutao has a good foundation to begin with, and with the skillful hands of the makeup artist she looks even more charming.
After expressing his gratitude, Dai Shutao stood up, turned around calmly, and seeing that Qi Hemei had not left yet, he suddenly laughed.
"I think what Senior Qi said is true."
Dai Shutao's word "old" made Qi Hemei's eyes widen instantly.
"I believe that as long as I don't have plastic surgery or make excessive changes, I will still be naturally beautiful even when I'm 80. The press conference is about to begin. Excuse me."
Dai Shutao smiled indifferently and passed by Qi Hemei. Qi Hemei stayed where she was, with her eyes wide open and a look of disbelief written all over her face.
She must have heard it right just now. Dai Shutao was mocking her again. How dare Dai Shutao do that?
She is just a top-tier artist praised by fans. As time goes by, does she really think she can stay young forever?
The anger of being ridiculed almost made Qi Hemei lose her mind. Fortunately, Qi Hemei's agent happened to pass by and stopped her when she was about to step forward to hold her accountable.
"Okay, what are you going to do?"
Facing Qi Hemei, the agent frowned and looked unhappy.
"This is the only resource you've introduced in the past six months. If you don't want to spend the rest of the year stuck at home, stop causing trouble. You don't think the general manager can still protect you, do you?"
Seeing Qi Hemei's expression change drastically, the agent cleverly concealed the contempt in his eyes, snorted, and began to instruct Qi Hemei on how to answer the reporter's questions next.
When Dai Shutao walked to the corner, she saw Zhao Weige who was grinning. She grabbed his ear without any hesitation and did not let go until he started begging for mercy.
"You've been watching the fun for a while now, you're so mean, you saw I was in trouble and didn't even come to help."
"What can I do?" Zhao Weige chuckled. "Old-timer artists like Qi Hemei always use their experience as an excuse. I'm just a newbie in the entertainment industry with only a few years of experience. I don't have the courage of you, Sister Taozi. If I go up to her, I'll be torn to pieces by her."
Dai Shutao glanced at Zhao Weige and suddenly smiled strangely.
"That might not be the case." The woman raised her hair, her tone tinged with ambiguity. "I heard that Qi Hemei likes handsome guys like you the most. Maybe if you go up to her and call her 'Senior Sister' a few times, she'll be so happy that she'll offer you all her resources!"
Zhao Weige's face froze. He thought about the scene and couldn't help but shudder. He didn't dare to think about it any further.
"But what's going on between you and Mr. Qin? I think he came to visit the set this time just for you."
Zhao Weige's words were rather tactful. He was just a temporary fill-in. Of the artists in the company, only Dai Shutao participated in the local charity filming. If it wasn't for Dai Shutao, who else could Qin Guican have come for? Could it be Hu Ke?
"You talk too much. Be careful not to get your tongue bitten by the strong wind." Dai Shutao's expression was a little subtle when Qin Guican was mentioned. He immediately covered it up and retorted.
The press conference went more smoothly than expected. Although Qi Hemei disliked Dai Shutao in every way, when the reporter asked questions, she still said with a fake smile that Dai Shutao was the artist she most favored and believed that she had a bright future.
Recognized by their predecessors, Dai Shutao's fans cheered online, while silently keeping Qi Hemei's praise in their hearts.
Dai Shutao, standing on the stage, watched Qi Hemei's solo performance with a mixture of laughter and tears. He tried hard to divert the topic to her, but he just felt extremely bored.
She glanced aimlessly at the audience and saw the man standing in the corner looking at her. She stood up straight involuntarily.
From the beginning, Qin Guican appeared at the interview scene, not afraid of being discovered, and stood at the back.
