Chapter 173: Chapter 2: The Variety Show Control Group Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder (Part 2)

The makeup artist’s hand paused, a bit impatient, her face darkening but still pressing down her displeasure and asking dryly.

"Is there anything you’re dissatisfied with?"

"Everything, completely dissatisfied. Remove it, just do my eyebrows and lipstick."

The makeup artist couldn’t suppress her anger and counter-questioned.

"Haven’t I done everything according to your requirements? If you think I’m unqualified, you can totally ask the company to replace me; there’s no need to remove the makeup I’ve spent three hours on right now."

The assistant on the side sensed the spreading anger and quickly tried to mediate.

"Ms. Jiang is a bit grumpy from waking up, kk teacher, don’t take it to heart. I also think this makeup is quite good and there’s nothing wrong with it. Ms. Jiang, do you want to say specifically where you’re not quite satisfied? Teacher kk is so dedicated, surely she’ll adjust it until you’re satisfied!"

"Are you deaf? I said, completely, completely dissatisfied."

The makeup artist kk threw down her brush upon hearing this and started packing up her makeup case, her face turning extremely cold.

Jiang Lai looked at her calmly, her red lips slightly parted.

"When the company assigned you to me, a contract was signed, a service term of one year, with a penalty three times your salary paid by the company if breached. You can leave now, but once you’re out, I’ll have a chat with the company’s legal department about the breach, probably just over a million, but with your industry reputation, that amount shouldn’t bother you, right?"

Jiang Lai, overbearing, stared at the makeup artist with her narrow, upturned eyes, filled with calm and confident laughter.

At the mention of the penalty, the makeup artist’s hand tightened her grip on her things, suppressing her dissatisfaction, she grabbed the makeup remover, poured it onto a cotton pad, and was about to rub it on Jiang Lai’s face, but her hand was instantly seized by Jiang Lai.

"Keep your dirty hands away, I’ll do it myself."

As she said this, Jiang Lai directly used the cotton pad to remove all the heavy makeup on her face, instructed the assistant to bring over a basin of clean water, thoroughly washed her face, and then casually penciled in her eyebrows and applied lipstick while looking in the mirror.

Just about to apply the lipstick, she glanced at her reflection, simply tossed the lipstick back, undid the hairstyle done since the morning, borrowed a hair tie from the assistant, and tied herself a high ponytail.

"Alright, let’s not waste everyone’s time, let’s go."

The shooting location was still dozens of kilometers away in a village, Jiang Lai looked at the time, it’s surely going to be late.

This makeup artist, having been paid, was really dedicated, knowing well that this was a lifestyle show co-starring with kids, still gave her a stage makeup look.

This kind of makeup certainly poses no problem under dazzling stage lights, but she’s about to face live broadcast cameras, looking like this is basically resembling a fairy.

Seeing the assistant bring over the clothes to wear, Jiang Lai glanced at them and sighed.

"Never mind, I’ll wear my own clothes, take this away."

The assistant asked helplessly.

"What now, sis? This is the latest season’s model the company borrowed from the brand; weren’t you just planning to wear this?"

Jiang Lai looked at the expensive black little dress, surely needing a pair of red high heels to go with it once put on, walking out like this would make people think she’s heading to a runway show.

"I said I won’t wear it, take it away, and bring me my glasses, damn these contact lenses are killing me."

The original owner was nearsighted, never wearing glasses in public for beauty’s sake, enduring the discomfort, always wearing contact lenses no matter how tired.

Because of this, the eyes have been dry and uncomfortable for a long time, making her gaze awkward in front of the camera. In the original storyline, she lost a contact lens, causing her to squint throughout the whole recording process, appearing unnatural, and because of this, people berated her for making a sour face in the live broadcast room.

Wearing glasses, tying a ponytail, changing into a simple and comfortable sweatshirt and jeans, by the time she went out there were already several entertainment reporters waiting outside, their task was to capture Jiang Lai’s heavily made-up, glamorously dressed appearance.

But as the car drove away, they didn’t catch sight of the female star.

"Where is Jiang Lai? Wasn’t she supposedly in there doing makeup?"

The staff behind chimed in.

"She just left in the car."

"How come I didn’t see? Weren’t they just two staff members?"

"The one with the hat, that is."

"Huh?"

The one with the hat?

That was Jiang Lai?

Wasn’t she supposed to arrive at the recording site in full glam? Just now that one with the hat only wore a simple casual outfit.

The nanny van leisurely brought Jiang Lai to the recording site, by this time the number of viewers in the live broadcast room had already soared to three million, and the figure was still climbing because "Baby, Baby" as the country’s first reality show broadcast live, gathered some of the most well-known and popular actresses, both fans and passersby were long waiting in the program’s master live room.

The first to arrive on-site was the actress Yang Bing, who at twenty-eight had already won the best actress award for television drama, having many well-received representative works, and warmly greeted the director as soon as she showed up.

The following guests also arrived one after the other, like the youngest in age, Wang Xuan’er, who gained a lot of fans from the recent hit youth drama.

And a singer, Yu Yan, beautiful and with a good singing voice, quite favorable among passersby.

Mo Wanwan, dragging her suitcase, arrived quickly too, with fans in the live room going wild.

[Wanwan is so beautiful! Wanwan, Wanwan!!]

[Wanwan is dressed so simply, really fair-skinned!]

[Yu Yan is so cute, wanting to say hi to Wanwan]

[Wow so many pretty girls, this variety show is too eye-catching!]

[Ugh, just missing Jiang Lai, such a small-time troublemaker]

[Of course, the big star Jiang has to be the grand finale, after all, she’s the ugliest haha]

Jiang Lai was indeed the last to arrive, donned in a simple short white sweatshirt below paired with tight casual jeans, waved and entered the scene, revealing a slender fair waist, looking very fresh and neat.

Standing beside everyone, Jiang Lai smiled and greeted each of them, finally greeting the live room audience.

"Hello everyone, I’m Jiang Lai, very pleased to meet you all here."

[How strange, when did Jiang Lai become nearsighted?]

[I’d really rather not see you here]

[When did she start going for the pure look? She looks a lot like Wanwan dressed like this]

[Copycat is so disgusting]

In the entertainment circle, who didn’t know Jiang Lai and Mo Wanwan’s familial relation, the two looked alike since debut causing not a few people to mix them up.

However, Mo Wanwan’s unique temperament and clean looks matched with the image of a gentle and considerate, smart and steady sister, while Jiang Lai, every time attending an event, dressed so awfully extravagant, absurdly bold style, that later nobody said they looked alike anymore.
