Hitting Up The Big Leagues with a Green Tea Personality-Chapter 16

Makeup Crisis

“Xia Bohe got the role!”

“If Mi Min knows about this, I bet she will cry tears of rage.”

“How cunning of Xia Bohe. She has probably been preparing to snatch Mi Min’s role since long ago, otherwise, how would she even have memorized the lines in advance?”

“Exactly, who doesn’t know that she’s always at the bottom of class because she always forgot her lines!?”

It was 19 minutes away from the official performance.

The man in the VIP row was already gone, and the school leaders had left for the moment as well.

Most of the girls backstage had already touched up their makeup and were currently chatting in a corner.

When You Xinji heard all this, she smiled slightly.

She secretly took out her phone. Glancing at it, her smile became wider.

[Darling You, what’s going on? Xia Bohe replaced my sister for the role, then what about my sister? I sent a message to Mi Min but she did not reply.]

The teacher in charge of makeup for this stage play was Mi Min’s elder cousin sister.

Not many people knew about this because they were both very low-key and did not want others eyeing their acts of teacher-student favoritism all the time.

To begin with, there was, of course, not much of an interest-based relationship between the Makeup Department and the Performing Arts Faculty.

Just that on certain occasions, such as the costume aspect of this annual play, such a relationship would produce some good results.

You Xinji held back a smile before slowly typing out her reply.

[Big Sis Mi, Mi Min seems to be in trouble. She was punished by the dean and disqualified from participating in the play. Xia Bohe, who went to change clothes with her, came back to the rehearsal alone, and because she managed to recite all of Mi Min’s lines, she had replaced Mi Min…]

She did not fan the flames and her choice of words was very objective.

However, it undoubtedly appeared as if Xia Bohe had seized Mi Min’s role out of malice.

Haha, how would this be if she had not recited so many lines in such a short time?

Nobody would believe that it was not done on purpose.

In a crew, how could an actor who offended the makeup artist have a good ending?

You Xinji stuffed her phone into her bag and calmly fished out her compact mirror to check her reflection.

Her small, delicate as a peach face reflected in the mirror.

Before, Mi Min had said that she would surely get Xia Bohe this time, but she did not expect herself to be dragged in.

Never mind that; as long as there was Mi Min’s cousin sister, it was enough to teach Xia Bohe a lesson.

If Xia Bohe were to make a fool of herself on stage, then she, You Xinji, would become the school belle which was elected every three years before her graduation!

The makeup room.

Xia Bohe was flipping through the transparent panel in front of her.

[Endearingly Pitiful Level 2] ‘Each usage will last for 2 minutes. Can be used three times a day.’

Now, she had only one use left.

Moreover, the target range was people over 50 years old and men with simple and honest personalities.

According to the novel setting, the school leaders who were attending today and with decision-making power were basically in their 40s to 50s.

The mentor, the dean, the president, and the two vice-presidents should all be within the skill range.

She must equip her last use of this skill on the edge of her blade.

Within the last two minutes of her character’s appearance, she must win the recognition of the VIPs present and get recommended to join a filming crew for the summer!

In the novel, Mi Min had joined a contemporary drama film crew, and You Xinji, as the heroine of the annual play, had straight away won the role of the second female lead. Although she got it by depending on her family background, it was also tied to strong recommendations and recognitions by the teachers.

In this life, she would seize this opportunity!

Xia Bohe pondered as she turned her script to the last page, contemplating which line to use the skill for best effects.

“Terminal patient makeup, is that right?”

As she was reading, a slightly hoarse and indifferent woman’s voice came from beside her.

Xia Bohe looked up and saw a tall woman with flaxen curls and a mask.

She had a large makeup brush in her hand, but her gaze was a bit too sharp.

Xia Bohe suddenly sensed danger.

What had she missed?

The makeup artist was very impatient. “Speak! I don’t have the time to dawdle with you here!”

Xia Bohe nodded and replied, “Yes…”

However, as soon as she said that, her expression froze.

She remembered the details of the novel!

In the original story, after Mi Min had schemed against the original host, the sickly makeup that the artist applied on her made her look like a weeping beauty. It corrected her slightly harsh appearance by bringing out her nice features and hiding the rest, adding more feminine charm to her. Because of this, she had caught the attention of a teacher from the audience and was recommended to the crew.

This makeup artist was very familiar with Mi Min’s face and was very meticulous with her job. Was she related to Mi Min?

Xia Bohe shuddered.

The female makeup artist had already turned to the two assistants beside her and shouted at them.

“The base makeup she has on now is all wrong!”
