Chapter 557: Worried but Gentle Eyes

With that, Shen Xi’s cameo came to an end.

Yu Yuanxi still had a few scenes coming up. He was able to immerse himself into the role after the first scene and played the best version of the character effectively from thereon out. All the scenes were done in one take.

Shen Xi and Yun Jinping watched Yu Yuanxi by the sidelines as they waited for Shen Zhangqing and the rest to arrive.

“My dear idol, try this. This is delicious.” Ruan Sisi ordered bubble tea, cakes, and local specialties to be delivered. She had it all. Ruan Sisi was offering some braised trotters to Shen Xi right now.

Shen Xi was stuffed from all the feeding. Any more, she would have to miss out on dinner. “I’ve had enough.”

Ruan Sisi let out a silly smile before offering the food to Yun Jinping instead. She was all smiles. “Madam, Madam. Try this.”

As a gentle soul, Yun Jinping was not one to refuse anyone’s kindness. Even if she did not have the appetite, she would take a bite out of politeness. Yun Jinping was about to accept the food when Shen Xi butted in.

“Tell me, what are you after?” Cutting all the bullsh*t and beating around the bush, Shen Xi went straight to the point.

“I’m not after anything. I admire you. I guess I don’t know what I’m trying to do.” Ruan Sisi’s eyes then lit up as if she thought of something. “Oh, my dear idol. How about you take me in as a student?”

She tended to be straight up with people, speaking her mind rather freely.

Shen Xi blurted, “No.”

Ruan Sisi made every effort to promote herself. “I have a knack for this. I can show you my makeup and tutorial videos if you don’t believe me.”

With that, she whipped out her phone to tap on her social account so Shen Xi could take a look.

Shen Xi’s aloofness was effective to those who could take a cue but futile to those who could not. Finding Ruan Sisi a bother, she merely took a glance at her phone. However, what she saw changed her mind.

Tsk tsk!

The silly girl was good at makeup and had a unique eye on beauty – both avant-garde and futuristic. The girl definitely had the talent.

“My dear idol, I know I can’t compare to your makeup skills. Can you show me the way?” Ruan Sisi was burning with passion, talking about something close to her heart.

This was especially true when she was sharing with her idol about what she loved. Ruan Sisi wanted to pull out all the stops to show that she knew a thing or two about makeup, and not at all without merits.

Yun Jinping’s eyes lit up as she watched the videos. The chatty girl was surprisingly cut out for creating a look. She did a good job with the makeup videos and even the clothes she designed had character albeit lacking sophistication. The girl was destined for great things.

Ruan Sisi went on explaining to them about her makeup videos and design concepts in high spirits. She was glowing.

Shen Xi could tell that the girl was gifted. She might as well make good use of her since Ruan Sisi was putting herself out there. “My company has a vacancy for a stylist.”

She had been part-timing as Cosmos Entertainment’s chief stylist, but there was only so much she could do. Hence, Shen Xi had been on the lookout for a chief stylist to manage the whole company. She did not mind letting Ruan Sisi have a go, providing the latter could stick out to the end.
