With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

She herself is a fan of Song Yoon-ah.

Although I'm not a professional fan who controls comments and votes for Song Yoon-ah online every day, I've watched all the dramas she's acted in and I hope to become an actress like her in the future.

Surrounded by staff and on-site security, Song Yoon-ah, wearing sunglasses, walked very quickly. Shen Li only caught a glimpse of her from the outside before she went into her private dressing room.

However, thinking about how she would be appearing on the same stage as her at the press conference in a little while, Shen Li couldn't hide her excitement.

"Shen Li!"

Suddenly, someone reached out and patted her on the shoulder.

Shen Li turned around in surprise, and was stunned when she saw the person behind her, then delighted: "Eh? Teacher Wenxuan!"

Wenxuan, carrying her makeup bag, asked with a smile, "Are you looking at Song Yun'er?"

Shen Li nodded shyly.

Wenxuan seemed to have developed a professional habit, suddenly scrutinizing Shen Li's makeup seriously, making Shen Li feel a little embarrassed.

She awkwardly touched her face and said, "I did my own makeup, is there a problem, teacher?"

Wenxuan raised an eyebrow: "There's nothing wrong with you. You've always had a good foundation. It's just that there are a few details that are a little... Maybe I'm being too harsh as a makeup artist. Actually, you're quite good."

But after saying that, she felt it wouldn't work: "Why don't you come with me, and I'll redo your makeup in a bit."

Shen Li readily agreed and nodded happily.

As we walked in with Teacher Wenxuan, she instructed us, "When we go in, please sit here first. I need to do Ren Jia's makeup first, and then I'll do yours."

"Ren Jia?" Shen Li was slightly surprised: "She's also a lead actress?"

Wenxuan nodded, and thinking that the press conference was about to start, she directly told Shen Li, "She is the second female lead."

Shen Li looked enlightened. The second female lead was the villain, the female lead's first mortal enemy, and Ren Jia had been playing villainous roles since her debut. It seemed that she hadn't played any good people in recent years.

However, she has good acting skills and has won awards, so she has basically no rivals in this field and is currently very popular.

Shen Li couldn't help but recall what her sister had said: if she played the villainous maid too well, she might be typecast, and Ren Jia was a perfect example of that.

Upon entering the dressing room, Shen Li immediately spotted Ren Jia surrounded by a group of people, seemingly helping her rehearse her script and memorize the answers to some questions she would be answering later.

"Jiajia, I'm sorry I'm late," Wenxuan greeted her naturally.

Seeing this, Ren Jia put down her script, glanced unintentionally at Shen Li who was sitting by the door, and then smiled at Wen Xuan: "It's okay, no rush."

In front of the makeup mirror, the makeup light shining on her face revealed Ren Jia's less-than-ideal skin condition. She didn't want to look at it herself and sighed irritably, "It's really weird. I've been getting closed comedones on my forehead and the sides of my nose lately. It's so annoying."

Wenxuan had done Renjia's makeup before, so she knew that Renjia's skin condition had never been very good. Although she had never asked her directly, she had heard some rumors that Renjia smoked and drank alcohol in private and liked to eat sweets and dairy products, all of which are prone to causing acne.

"No problem, leave it to me. I guarantee you won't be able to tell at all on camera," Wenxuan said confidently.

Ren Jia smiled immediately upon hearing this: "I knew you were the most reliable. You have to make me look good, please."

Shen Li was sitting in the back, and Ren Jia could see her perfectly through the makeup mirror, so Ren Jia couldn't ignore her even if she wanted to.

With her superior looks, perfect skin, and thick, black hair, she was undeniably beautiful, whether she wanted to or not.

Ren Jia observed her silently for a while, then tentatively asked, "Sister Xuan, who is that girl? Your assistant?"

Wenxuan was taken aback upon hearing this, subconsciously glancing back at Shen Li before laughing, "No, it's an actress from your drama, the one who plays 'Hua Xixi'!"

Upon hearing this, Ren Jia's expression changed instantly.

Flowery?

Isn't that the fourth female lead? Isn't the fourth female lead Tian Xiaolu?

Why was it replaced by an unfamiliar newcomer?

She thought for a moment, then chuckled softly, "The competition in this industry is really fierce. I heard that Tian Xiaolu got into a dispute with the investors over her salary and was replaced as a result. What a pity."

Wenxuan smiled and said, "This girl is quite nice. She's a freshman at the Film Academy. I heard the photography crew praising her."

"Oh?" Ren Jia raised an eyebrow: "Specifically praising a newcomer? That's novel."

After saying that, she looked at Shen Li with a gloomy expression through the mirror, a half-smile playing on her lips.

About half an hour later, Wenxuan finished Ren Jia's makeup, and the rest was left to the hairstylist.

She picked up her makeup bag and sat down on the chair next to Shen Li: "Just make do with this, I'll fix it for you like this."

Shen Li nodded: "Thank you, teacher."

In just a few minutes, Wenxuan adjusted Shen Li's makeup to make it more suitable for her and to better highlight her beautiful appearance.

Finally, she nodded in satisfaction: "This is so much better. Your bright, sparkling eyes are the most beautiful part of you, they're so captivating."

Shen Li smiled, her pretty face slightly flushed, when Wen Xuan stood up and said, "The press conference is probably going to start soon, so I'll be going now."

Shen Li politely went out to see Wen Xuan off, and as soon as Shen Li left, Ren Jia said to her assistant, "Xiao Ya, go and call Brother Tong over."

"Now?" Xiaoya glanced at the time. "It's about to start. Tong-ge must be busy right now, right?"

"Just go and call them, hurry up," Ren Jia urged impatiently.

Xiaoya could only nod and quickly went out.

A short while later, a man in a suit wearing headphones and holding a walkie-talkie followed Xiaoya in quickly.

"What's wrong, Jiajia? I'm all sweaty from being so busy. What do you need me for?" Qi Tong asked, frowning.

Ren Jia smiled, turned her head, and beckoned to him.

Qi Tong was a little impatient, but he still leaned closer and heard Ren Jia whisper a few words in his ear.

Qi Tong looked surprised upon hearing this, and then said, "You... can't be serious, can you? She's a newcomer. Even if she goes on stage, how many shots will she get? There isn't even a single question about her in the script. She's just a background character."

"I don't care, I've come to you for help, so just tell me if you can do it or not." Ren Jia pouted, looking pitiful.

With her hair and makeup fully done, Ren Jia looked quite beautiful at that moment.

Qi Tong nodded with an expression of helplessness: "Okay, okay, I'll handle it, just this once!"

"Look how fierce you are. Anyway, I'll come to you again if I need anything next time," Ren Jia said smugly.

Qi Tong smiled helplessly. Then, the walkie-talkie crackled with urging. He picked it up and said, "The stage area might not be big enough. A few actors might not be able to get on stage. Send me the cast list so I can take a look."
