The rest of the actresses were paying attention to Song Yan's moments, they all timely ducked and managed to escape the humiliation. Or else like Wen Zi, their flaws would have been shown to the world as well. They shivered at the thought, neither of them was in their early twenties anymore and they had to take great pains to hide these flaws if their bare face was shown then- just the thought alone was enough to make them tremble.
" What are you yelling for?" questioned Song Yan as she calmly threw the empty makeup remover bottle into the dustbin. " Didn't you say that you prepared this prank to welcome me? You all gave me such a heartwarming welcome just two days after I woke up from the coma, shouldn't I reciprocate the favour by playing a prank on you guys as well? So why aren't you laughing?" said Song Yan with a bright smile, though she was smiling - her smile was full of sarcasm. Her response instantly caused Wen Zi to choke on air, to think that Song Yan who always kept her lowered would one day retort so sharply that she would be clean bold. Wen Zi glared at Song Yan with a promise of retaliation but unfortunately, Song Yan was no longer afraid, she simply raised her brow and stared back at Wen Zi.
" Alright, that's enough you all, if you all are done getting ready, leave." Li Rou who was covered with makeup remover immediately stopped the matter from blowing up, in normal circumstances she wouldn't have cared about this small matter but today she couldn't let anyone affect Song Yan's appearance. President Liao was very particular about his goods, if one of these idiots ended up causing Song Yan any injury then it would be her head that Song Lan will smash. Once those actresses left, she turned to Song Yan and said sharply, " Song Yan, I know that those girls took the joke a bit far but you need to take it easy too, they are after all your juniors."
Song Yan said nothing and simply lowered her head like a docile lamb, but her expression was filled with so much frost that if Li Rou had gotten a glimpse of it, she would have died from the chill. As Song Yan listened to Li Rou's nonsense, her eyes flashed and a mocking sneer curled her lips.
' Juniors? Those girls joined the company just a week after her, how the hell did they become her juniors?'
Li Rou went on and on with her lecture on 'virtue by returning evil with good' and when she saw that Song Yan wasn't saying anything she just thought that maybe the latter understood what she was trying to tell her and stopped chattering. Li Rou pulled a stern face and then looked at Song Yan strictly, for once she looked like an agent who was seriously working hard but then when she opened her mouth it was nothing but trash that came out, " I will send someone to help you get ready, I will go and change my clothes so you better tell the person who will be doing your makeup just what kind of look you want, remember that you need to get ready according to the preferences of president Liao."
" Yes, sister Li." agreed Song Yan obediently.
However, once Li Rou stepped out of the dressing room, Song Yan's obedient expression morphed into a stoically cold one. She gracefully walked towards the slot on the long dressing table that was allocated to her and sat down, she fished out her phone and waited for the person that Li Rou has arranged for her. Fifteen minutes later, a woman in her twenties rushed inside… she was flustered as she stumbled and hardly managed to stop herself from kissing the floor before she straightened up and headed towards Song Yan.
" He...Hello, I am Lin Yi. I will be helping you with your makeup today." Song Yan frowned as she turned her phone off and looked over her shoulder- baggy clothes, huge glasses that hid her eyes and fingers that were trembling and nervously playing with the hem of her shirt.
A new bee.
She knew that even though Li Rou said that she would send someone to help her, she would send someone who wasn't highly skilled lest she gave off the wrong impression to Song Lan. It was clear that Li Rou despite using her was slighting her- heh, good, if she didn't hang that woman by her guts today then she won't be called Song Yan anymore!
She glanced indifferently at Lin Yi who was standing behind with a nervous expression. Well, it could be said that luck was finally favouring her again. This woman was perfect for what she had in mind, she tapped her phone open and showed Lin Yi a picture before giving out a firm order, " I want you to make me look like this."
Lin Yi glanced at the picture and swallowed. " are you sure?"
Song Yan crossed her arms and leaned on her chair, " Do I look like I am not confident?"
Lin Yi glanced at the face of the cold beauty and suddenly thought - well, she does have the features to pull off this look.
——-
" What have you done to yourself?" when Li Rou first got a glimpse of Song Yan who stepped out of the company, she felt an itch in her hands. If she wasn't afraid of making it to the trending searches she would have slapped Song Yan. She pulled Song Yan to a corner and did her best to stop herself from screaming, " What kind of look is this?"
Song Yan blinked her eyes innocently as if she couldn't understand why Li Rou was getting angry and answered with a highly wronged voice, " But everyone loves a bold woman."
Bold woman? You look like a prostitute picked off the streets! Li Rou breathed heavily as she pointed at the doors of the company and with great difficulty managed to squeeze a few words out, " Go back and change your look-"
" But it's already seven. The meeting is at eight, are we going to make president Liao wait?" Song Yan asked with an aggrieved pout.
And Li Rou had to clench her fists to stop herself from punching Song Yan. " wait here, I will get a taxi." Making president Liao wait wasn't an option so she could only bring this 'bold' Song Yan to him.
Once Li Rou was gone, Song Yan rolled her eyes and summoned Fang Yanli once again. Staring at the front, she tilted her head as she said, "A rat is sneaking around the corner of the parking lot, go and catch it."
Fang Yanli grinned and with a salute, she exclaimed, " Aye, Aye captain." Then she floated to the spot where Song Lan was hiding.
