Shen Congjun suddenly felt tasteless, stretched out his hand to throw the pancake in his hand into the trash can, but missed, almost hitting the person coming in.
The newcomer was obviously displeased; he hesitated not knowing what to do, just as Lazy Cat shouted, "Makeup artist, thank goodness you’re here. Please do Sister Tong’s makeup first!"
"Lazy Cat?" The makeup artist smiled, "You’re Miss Qiao’s favorite. Ada is willing to let you come here, she must value our Miss Ji highly!"
Ji Niandong quickly stood up to greet, "Hello, makeup artist!"
"Hello, Miss Ji! I’ve heard from other makeup artists who worked with you that your skin is great and easy to apply makeup on. Today you do look well! From now on, I’ll be your dedicated makeup artist. Just call me Nancy!" He looked very competent and easy-going.
Ji Niandong exhaled in relief, and asked, "Hello, Nancy! Are you the Nancy who won the makeup award?"
"Oh, you know about that, it seems I have some reputation! Miss Ji, please finish your breakfast quickly and wash your face in the restroom, then we’ll start!" She said as she began setting up her makeup kit neatly on the table.
Ji Niandong ate her breakfast quickly. Nancy, such a famous makeup artist, would be her personal makeup artist in the future, it seemed Ada truly valued her, and she mustn’t let Ada down!
Shen Congjun watched silently, filled with envy and jealousy. Yet, he didn’t dare say more.
Ji Niandong soon began her makeup session. Nancy’s technique was very skillful, and in no time she finished. Her character was a student, so heavy makeup wasn’t needed, but transforming a made-up face to look natural was an art.
After changing clothes, Nancy casually styled her hair into a ponytail and finished.
"I’ll go check if the film set is ready!" Lazy Cat happily went out to confirm.
Ji Niandong just received a message from Shen Congling: "Sorry, Sister Tongtong, I overslept. I’ll be there soon!"
Some extras had mostly arrived; the production staff shouted that they could start. Zhou Yiqing hurried over.
"Sorry, director, I ran into some issues on the way, I apologize!" Zhou Yiqing first apologized to everyone.
The assistant director shouted, "Who are you?"
"I’m Xiao Xing’s actor!" Zhou Yiqing frowned, feeling incredibly guilty and fearful.
"Why are you only arriving now?! The first scene is with you and Ji Niandong. She’s the main character and arrived over an hour ago, and here you are now! Hurry and get ready!" the assistant director complained.
Zhou Yiqing kept apologizing while asking the makeup artist to quickly apply makeup.
She was sweating profusely; the makeup artist seemed impatient, and she wiped herself with a tissue and said, "We’re running out of time, let’s just go with this!"
Ji Niandong then walked over and asked, "Qingqing, why are you coming only now? We agreed to arrive at the set together, and I sent you messages but didn’t get a reply."
"I didn’t receive them! I haven’t checked WeChat lately, sorry!" she was getting her makeup done and didn’t dare to speak much.
Seeing this, Ji Niandong sat beside her waiting, since they were going to shoot the scene together.
Shen Congjun also went to ask the makeup artist, "When will you do my makeup?"
"Who are you? When is your shoot?" The makeup artist continued applying makeup, showing some impatience!
