152. Friend and assistant

''I'm sorry for keeping you all waiting.''

Hearing that voice from behind, everyone stopped what they were talking about and quickly turned to face the person who gave them a shock only to receive yet another one.

There she was, coming down the stairs in a not so hurried manner but that was only for the outward show as she wasn't panting or anything. But the movement of her feet wasn't one to be ignored as it was quite fast.

It was obvious that she had just completed her shower in a hurry because her hair was still slightly damp. But no matter what, she didn't look out of place at all with the graceful environment around. Infact, she looked as graceful as someone could ever look. In a baby pink loose sweater and white shorts coupled with that fluffy black home slipper, she looked just like a model ready to start her shoot.

But that wasn't what stumped those makeup team in the room. What actually stumped them was that her face was bare of any makeup. Yet it was glowing so brightly. There wasn't even a pore to be seen. Thinking that it was because she was still a distance away, a girl, subconsciously walked towards her, pushed herself right infront of Li Zhilan's face and looked carefully.

Everyone else in the room was shocked by her behavior that they started sweating for her.

Damn this girl. What was she even doing? Does she still not know how much of an influence this Miss infront of them might have? Even if she was just a normal actress, anyone would be angry with such behavior. Why was she even dragging them down? Oh God, please save us from this pretty Miss's wrath.

While everyone was praying for themselves, the girl who had previously gone stuck her face near Li Zhilan's screamed loudly in surprise.

''There isn't a single pore.''

Right after she said that, the leader of the team pulled her back by her collar and immediately said her apologies.

The leader was a fourty something year old woman. She had been in the industry for quite a long time and was very influential as well. She was actually forced to come her to do the makeup by the company and so she didnt have much of a good impression of the girl infront. She felt that this girl infront of her was also someone who used unscrupulous ways to get to the top. And a person with no principle who just wants to climb up without the needed hardwork isn't someone she wants to be associated with.

But she had just been out for a moment before her students made such a blunder. Now she has to clean up after their mess. God knows how difficult this unscrupulous girl infront of her will make this task. Sigh...

''Miss Li, I'm sorry about what my student did. Xiao Qi, come here and apologize.''

Xiao Qi, who had still been whispering among others about how there really wasn't any pores immediately stood up straight when her name was called but before she could step forward to apologize, Li Zhilan beat her to speak.

''It's ok. No need to make a big deal out of it. Afterall just staring doesn't do me any harm.''

Li Zhilan's soft yet strong way of handling with things left a better impression. She didn't have that arrogant attitude most have after they gained some popularity nor did she have that too-much-humbleness that many tried to show. She was forgiving but her words also held that naturally strong power that no one dared to go against.

''Thank you Miss Li. I'm your makeup artist for today,Shen Yiyi, and this is my team.'' Shen Yiyi said while extending her right hand forward for a shake.

''Hello madam Shen. I'm Li Zhilan and this is my friend as well as my assistant, Peiyi. We will leave our faces in your care today.''

The way Li Zhilan introduced Peiyi as her friend first and assistant later clearly showed how much she valued Peiyi. It was clearly a warning to those who wanted to look down on Peiyi.

Meanwhile, Shen Yiyi's impression of Li Zhilan had drastically improved. Alas, though this girl has a good nature, her lack of hardworking spirit held her impression back.
