While preparing, Sheng Ziyou brought her own makeup artist and did her makeup in the nanny car instead of going to the backstage dressing room.
The nanny car was brought here by a driver Zhao Jing hired from the company. It was quite spacious inside, with a table that could be folded down to reveal a mirror and a dressing table.
Even Sheng Ziyou couldn’t help but praise, “This car is nice.”
Zhao Jing was texting someone when she heard this and replied, “Of course it’s great. This car isn’t one of those that the company just borrows. It’s a brand new car. President Lu bought it and has been keeping it in the warehouse. We’re the first users.”
Yang Yun was comfortably leaning back in the massage chair when she heard this and looked up: “Sister Zhao has a lot of influence; even President Lu lent her his new car.”
Zhao Jing turned her head and gave Sheng Ziyou a meaningful look.
She originally thought that Yu Chen had misunderstood the relationship between her artist and President Lu, but last time Sheng Ziyou was in the hospital, President Lu rushed over early in the morning. Others might not know about this, but how could she, as her manager, not know?
But from the past to the present, she had indeed not seen any unusual connection between her artist and President Lu.
Sheng Ziyou remained tight-lipped, making it difficult for Zhao Jing to glean any information from her expression. So naturally, she had no idea what was going on between the two.
But she would never believe it if you said it was nothing.
Lu Jiangyuan bought a new car that was clearly intended for celebrities and kept it in the garage, not allowing anyone to use it. But when she mentioned it, Lu Jiangyuan simply let her drive it away.
She was well aware of her own limitations and knew that this was all because of her artist’s reputation.
Zhao Jing even suspected… that this car was bought for her own artist.
Feeling a little uncomfortable under Zhao Jing’s gaze, Sheng Ziyou shifted and said, “Let’s not borrow this car again in the future, to avoid bad rumors.”
Zhao Jing didn’t say anything, but just glanced at her with a smile.
They said it was okay, but they themselves were already feeling uncomfortable.
“Anyway, President Lu doesn’t need this car, so it’s okay for us to use it when we need it. It’s such a nice car!” Yang Yun was still a little reluctant to part with it.
She had never ridden in such a nice car since she started working as an assistant.
“No rush. Let’s work hard for a few years, save some money, and we can buy it ourselves,” Sheng Ziyou said calmly.
She had never liked relying on others, and since in her previous life, she had already reached the peak of her career, she no longer valued money as much.
Anyway, she had more money than she could spend in a lifetime. Besides acting and performing, Sheng Ziyou had no other hobbies, so she also didn’t spend a lot of money.
She rarely did commercial performances back then, and the events she participated in were mostly ones she wanted to attend. She generally didn’t participate in variety shows or other money-making activities unless she liked them.
She only accepts scripts she liked.
Sheng Ziyou believed that it was better to rely on yourself than on others. She believed that you should work hard to earn what you need, which was why she had never been able to integrate into the industry despite being in it for many years.
She firmly believed in relying only on herself.
Domestic artists still enjoyed a high status; so once they make it big, they rarely encounter any scandals.
After Sheng Ziyou said this, Yang Yun opened her bright eyes and looked at her expectantly: “I will also try my best to take good care of Sister You!”
Ivy also blushed: “I will try my best too.”
Zhao Jing shook her head helplessly, but a smile remained on her lips.
This artist is interesting, and the people around her are all quite good. While ability is important, dedication and loyalty are even more crucial.
“I’ll be with the production team lately, so I won’t have much time for makeup. If you want to take on extra work, you can do that; just arrange your own time,” Sheng Ziyou told Ivy.
She had always been very generous to her own people.
Especially since this person was someone she trusted very much.
Ivy was a little embarrassed, but mostly touched.
After Sheng Ziyou finished speaking, she stopped moving so as not to interfere with her makeup. Ivy also calmed down and began to apply her makeup seriously.
Sheng Ziyou didn’t come backstage, but Wen Shanshan and Zheng Jiaoqian were both backstage getting their makeup done.
Last time, Wen Shanshan was furious with Sheng Ziyou while getting her makeup done backstage. This time, she practiced many times before coming over with a proud and confident air.
As it turned out… Sheng Ziyou didn’t show up at all!
Wen Shanshan was holding her breath, feeling stuck between a rock and a hard place.
The makeup artist for Wen Shanshan this time was the same one who did Sheng Ziyou’s makeup last time, while the one who did Zheng Jiaoqian’s makeup was a younger one.
Sheng Ziyou didn’t come, and Wen Shanshan was like a defeated rooster, listless and weak.
The trainees were putting on makeup outside, making a lot of noise.
Zheng Jiaoqian glanced at Wen Shanshan next to her in the mirror and decided to say something.
“Why didn’t Ziyou come today?”
Wen Shanshan rolled her eyes: “How should I know? I’m not a mind reader.”
Zheng Jiaoqian choked. Wasn’t Wen Shanshan always at odds with Sheng Ziyou? Why didn’t she think of teaming up with her?!
She absolutely hated idiots like that!
Zheng Jiaoqian thought for a moment and continued, “I wonder if Teacher Sheng has something to do. What if he can’t make it back later?”
She changed her address from “Ziyou” to “Teacher Sheng,” and she supposed Wen Shanshan understood what she meant.
“What’s it to me?” Wen Shanshan replied.
Zheng Jiaoqian: “…”
She was absolutely furious with this idiot!!!
“You can’t say that. They’re all mentors, we…”
Before Zheng Jiaoqian could finish her sentence, Wen Shanshan interrupted her, saying, “Don’t say anything. You two are birds of a feather, and you’re probably plotting against me again.”
Zheng Jiaoqian: “???”
For a moment, she felt that dealing with an idiot like Wen Shanshan was less desirable than confronting the seemingly innocent but actually cunning Sheng Ziyou.
They were at least on the same level in terms of intelligence!
Zheng Jiaoqian was so angry at Wen Shanshan that she blurted out, “How come such a stupid person hasn’t been played to death by Sheng Ziyou yet?”
Was Sheng Ziyou keeping this guy around for fun?!
She stopped talking, and Wen Shanshan also stopped talking. Apart from the sounds of the two makeup artists working, there was nothing else in the dressing room.
In the large room outside, the group of teenagers who were about to perform were chattering away, creating a lively atmosphere.
Before the performance began, all the performers must go backstage to wait.
Wen Shanshan was with Guan Yike’s group, Zheng Jiaoqian was with Feng Yuanxuan’s group, and Gu Yuzheng’s Sheng Ziyou had not arrived yet.
“Oh dear, why hasn’t Teacher Sheng arrived yet?” Wen Shanshan said with a charming smile.
She ignored Zheng Jiaoqian, but she wouldn’t miss any opportunity to affect Gu Yuzheng’s group’s mood.
Zheng Jiaoqian weakly added, “Yeah, I wonder if Ziyou still has time to put on makeup?”
Standing next to her was Jiao Xiu, whose eyes flashed with sarcasm as he laughed and said, “She should still make it in time. They are the last group to go on stage. If Teacher Sheng comes now, there’s no doubt they’ll make it in time.”
There was enough time to get there, but obviously, Sheng Ziyou needed to arrive immediately so that she could start putting on makeup.
Jiao Xiu’s mockery wasn’t directed at Sheng Ziyou, but at Zheng Jiaoqian. He had rehearsed with Zheng Jiaoqian for so long and knew exactly how pretentious she was.
This person’s pretense was that she wanted everyone to think she was a pure, innocent, and harmless little flower.
She was not as good as Sheng Ziyou. At least when she was pretending, she had a kind of boldness that said, “I’m just faking it, just to annoy you.”
But Sheng Ziyou clearly wouldn’t help him; even if he offered himself up, the other party calmly pushed him away.
The two were on opposite sides, and Jiao Xiu would only help Zheng Jiaoqian.
After listening, Gu Yuzheng remained calm: “I’ve already contacted Teacher Sheng through the program team. She’s at the door and will be here soon.”
The more others want to see them make a fool of themselves, the more composed they need to appear.
Even if they were anxious inside, they won’t show it on their face.
Besides… Teacher Sheng was clearly not the kind of person who would worry them. The production team had already contacted her, and she had been putting on makeup at the door the whole time.
Ji Ran sneered inwardly, but smiled faintly on the surface and said, “Teacher Sheng is wearing makeup, so there’s no need for you to worry.”
Wen Shanshan snorted coldly: “I hope your teacher, Mr. Sheng, can make it in time…”
“Shanshan,” a woman’s voice chuckled behind them, “You miss me that much? I’m so relieved to see you so worried about me.”
Wen Shanshan’s expression changed, and she felt inexplicably uneasy. Subconsciously, she had been made somewhat afraid of Sheng Ziyou by her sharp rebuke.
Everyone turned to look at Sheng Ziyou, and were suddenly stunned, their eyes filled with amazement.
