For example, a major blockbuster that had deep meanings, a chance to show off their acting skills, or being an amba.s.sador for a major brand, etc.

As long as they had one of those, they could make a breakthrough to the A-list.

So the two of them were in the middle of an intense compet.i.tion, both determined to be the first and afraid of being surpa.s.sed by the other.

As long as the status quo was changed and they belonged to different levels, the distance between them could only increase.

It would be weird if they were friends with such a compet.i.tive relations.h.i.+p.

Huang Yilun arrived not long after Xu Fei sat down for her makeup.

The makeup artists for Xu Fei and Huang Yilun were two of the male makeup artists who partic.i.p.ated in

Survivor

with s.h.i.+ Xiaoya:

s.h.i.+ Feng and Ling Xiaoen.

Both came, respectively, with Xu Fei and Huang Yilun.

The two guys were delighted to see s.h.i.+ Xiaoya.

“Never thought you’d come too, Xiaoya,” s.h.i.+ Feng commented with a smile as he opened his cosmetic bag.

“What a coincidence, I thought I could only see you during next week’s filming,” Ling Xiaoen said in a similar vein.

“It’s really unexpected.” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya smiled.

“Oh? Who are you doing makeup for? Has the person not arrived yet?” s.h.i.+ Feng noticed the empty chair in front of s.h.i.+ Xiaoya.

Before s.h.i.+ Xiaoya could answer, Jiang Yuhan entered.

“Sorry for the tardiness, there’s a jam on the way,” Jiang Yuhan explained, though her tone wasn’t exactly sincere.

Xu Fei arrived the earliest so her make up was already half done.

As a guy, Huang Yilun didn’t need that much makeup, so he was done as well even though he arrived only slightly before Jiang Yuhan did. He stayed in the room to chat.

Having done makeup for so many female artistes, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya knew very well what the female stars were thinking.

She did accept some jobs from male artistes, and doing makeup for them was still fine. The compet.i.tion between the male artistes wasn’t as devious and calculating as the female stars’, but there were the occasional men who were shameless enough, and their schemes were something that superseded even the female artistes’.

However, it ultimately wasn’t as blatantly obvious as the women’s attacks.

Coincidentally, putting Xu Fei and Jiang Yuhan, who were compet.i.tors, together was sure to start a fire.

“Teacher Jiang,” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya greeted politely.

Hearing herself called “teacher” made Jiang Yuhan happy. Handing her bag to her a.s.sistant, she sat. “Waited long?”

“It’s my habit to arrive earlier than my clients.” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya gave a small smile.

Jiang Yuhan gave a stiff smile and sat.

Just as s.h.i.+ Xiaoya was about to start, Jiang Yuhan asked her a.s.sistant, “Where’s my phone? Give it here.”

The a.s.sistant hurriedly handed the phone over.

Jiang Yuhan took it and opened an app with a beautifying camera and took a selfie, also capturing s.h.i.+ Xiaoya’s hands, which were about to apply makeup.

Then she posted it online with the caption, “Back in my alma mater for a dinner party. About to do my makeup. Scaring you guys with my au naturel face first.”

Unsurprisingly, fans began praising her in the comment section.

“Yuhan’s pretty even without makeup.”

“So pretty, she’s really a natural beauty.”

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya was snarky in her mind. She thought that with that beautifying camera, she’d become a natural beauty even if her bare face was yellow with black spots and full of large pores. Who’s she pretending for?

Frankly, Jiang Yuhan’s bare face was not really nice.

Probably because as an artiste, she had to apply makeup daily, even thick ones, and had to stay up late without removing the cosmetics.

Her skin condition wasn’t good. It was extremely dull, dark, and yellowish.
