The director was silent for a moment, his body trembling slightly.
Regardless of anything else, he had the ability to become the director of this variety show under Gu Corporation. After calming down, he immediately replied, “I understand, President Gu. Actually, we’ve already arranged for two special guests. I’ll get the other female celebrity to save the situation.”
Gu Zheng’s voice was low. “Mm.”
Seeing that the big boss was satisfied, the director heaved a sigh of relief. “President Gu, how about… I bring you to the stage to take a look?”
Gu Zheng waved his hand and rejected, his tone carrying a hint of authority. “Deal with the matter I’ve instructed you to.”
“No problem, I’ll definitely get it done.”
The director nodded and bowed as he sent Gu Zheng off. As he watched Gu Zheng’s tall figure disappear at the end of the corridor, his stiff body softened a little. He then helplessly instructed his assistant, “Quickly call Jinzhou and invite her to come on the show first.”
The assistant looked troubled. “But Meng Meimei isn’t someone to be trifled with. What if she doesn’t agree and causes a scene?”
“She has already offended President Gu. How is she going to survive in the industry? Even if we don’t do anything, President Gu will definitely teach her a lesson. If we let her appear on the show, it’ll affect our viewership ratings!” The director snorted. “What bad luck! We just had to invite such an idiot who wants to teach Mrs. Gu a lesson!”
The assistant replied, “I heard from Meng Meimei that she’s here to avenge Xu Anran.”
“Xu Anran…” The director spat on the ground. “The two of them are indeed best friends. On camera, they look weak and gentle, but in private, they’re violent, vicious, and petty. It’s troublesome to work with such people. It’s better to replace people like them earlier than later.
“Don’t think too much. Hurry up and inform the staff that the special guest has been changed,” the director instructed impatiently. The show was about to start, so he had to brace himself.
…
On the other hand, Li Xing’er brought Qiao Xi into the dressing room. Her eyes lit up when she saw Qiao Xi walking out in the gown she designed. “Wow! This gown suits you so well. Only you can wear such a high-class gown!”
The two of them waited for 20 minutes, but no makeup artist came in. When they went out to ask, they realized that Meng Meimei had called all the makeup artists away. The remaining contestants didn’t have makeup artists either, so they could only rely on themselves.
Actually, everyone knew that they were just going through the motions. Meng Meimei was the champion of this episode, and they were already very satisfied to be able to show their faces on the show.
However, Li Xing’er was the eldest daughter of the Li family. She couldn’t stand the humiliation and immediately called her brother. Instantly, a professional makeup team arrived.
After putting on makeup for Qiao Xi, the makeup artists also put on makeup for the other contestants. The dressing room was harmonious.
“Miss Li, thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, we would’ve been in trouble.”
“The gown you designed is really nice!”
“Not only are the clothes nice but Miss Qiao is also really pretty. She’s beautiful, has a good figure, and has an outstanding temperament. She’s even better than professional models.”
“That’s right! I thought Miss Qiao was a professional! Wearing this gown makes you look like a fairy from a painting. If you guys can’t get a ranking, then…”
Actually, everyone knew in their hearts that Qiao Xi was the most beautiful model. It was a pity that the program had already internally selected Meng Meimei, the special guest. That was why Meng Meimei was so arrogant.
…
Meanwhile, in Meng Meimei’s dressing room.
Her dressing room was packed with people. It was obvious that one makeup artist was enough, but she insisted on having several of them surround her. She was unwilling to let anyone leave. No one dared to offend her, so they could only stay in the dressing room.
Meng Meimei’s assistant tried to persuade her. “Sister Meimei, why don’t you have the makeup artists leave? The others probably don’t have any makeup on. The director might be unhappy.”
Meng Meimei sat in front of the mirror and said arrogantly, “No one is allowed to leave. Why should those small-time models bother putting makeup on? Do you think the director doesn’t know anything? He won’t care about those small models. As long as I, the special guest, can appear in front of the camera in a glamorous manner, no one else is important.”
The moment she finished speaking, there was a commotion outside the door. The assistant pushed the door open and saw that it was a professional makeup team. Every member was very famous.
