Chapter 1539: Sharp-tongued Shi Xiaoya

Big closed acne grew on her forehead and chin.

Shi Xiaoya wanted to cover up the blemishes under Jiang Yuhan’s eyes, but Jiang Yuhan was focused on her phone with her head lowered. No matter how talented Shi Xiaoya was, she also couldn’t draw on makeup when Jiang Yuhan refused to lift her face up.

Resigned, she said, “Teacher Jiang, could I trouble you to lift your face? I’ll be drawing below your eyes.”

“Can’t you see I’m chatting with others? How am I supposed to type with my head up?” Jiang Yuhan said, displeased. “You’re a well-known makeup artist but you can’t even do this?”

Shi Xiaoya’s expression remained neutral. She was willing to accommodate Jiang Yuhan and be polite because of her professionalism, and because she didn’t want to create trouble.

But with Jiang Yuhan’s attitude and doubt of her skills, Shi Xiaoya didn’t want to hold back anymore.

When there were big events usually, only the award-winning actors and actresses could book her.

Because there were no international film festivals occurring now, there were no actors around Gao Zishan’s level to work for, one who didn’t attend small-scale events like product promotion.

Hence, Shi Xiaoya was free around these times and would accept clients like Jiang Yuhan.

Just because she took on the job didn’t mean she would take insults lying down.

Hence, Shi Xiaoya countered directly, “Sorry, I don’t have the skill to do makeup over closed eyes. I can’t see your eyes, so I can’t draw.”

Jiang Yuhan choked, then lifted her head reluctantly.

Before she could say anything, Xu Fei opened her mouth at the side. “Don’t make things difficult for others, Yuhan. Xiaoya is the top makeup artist around. You haven’t seen how heavy your eyebags and dark circles are, as if you’ve aged another 10 years. If you don’t lift your head, how is she going to cover those up for you?”

Xu Fei was almost done with her makeup and she was glowing.

Being told that she looked a decade older than her true age was one of the most unbearable insults for women.

Feeling that she was mocked by Xu Fei because of Shi Xiaoya, Jiang Yuhan instantly directed her temper at the latter. “And you dare claim to be a makeup artist for award-winning actors when you have only such limited skills? I’ve worked with other makeup artists and I always did what I wanted. They never demanded me to lift up my head or anything and they still managed to do my makeup splendidly. Why can’t you do it? I say you’re worse than the average makeup artist, with such inadequate skills. Best that you stop saying you’re the appointed makeup artist for award-winning actors.”

Shi Xiaoya didn’t look infuriated in the least and gave a smile. “I didn’t call myself that. It’s a name given by others. If I really thought that I’m the appointed makeup artist for award-winning actors, I wouldn’t have accepted your offer, would I?”

Everybody: “...”

Shi Xiaoya was really sharp-tongued.

Shi Xiaoya was extremely clear. If I only did makeup for award-winning actresses, you’d never have had the chance to be done up by me at all.

Since you’re still some small-time B-lister.

Though it wasn’t said explicitly, everyone could read between the lines. The message was loud and clear.

What she said was true. Jiang Yuhan wasn’t comparable to award-winning actresses...

But while the truth was the truth, for it to be said out loud in front of everyone else was still extremely embarrassing!

Jiang Yuhan grew red in anger.

Alas, Shi Xiaoya wasn’t finished yet and she continued, “What’s more, since you feel that you’ve worked well with your previous makeup artists, then you should have kept them on. Why did you approach me?”

As far as Shi Xiaoya was concerned, the makeup artist Jiang Yuhan had previously wasn’t that good.
