After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God - Chapter 82
Chapter 82: Qu Lingyun: She’s Not Worthy, But You Are?(3)
Translator: _Min
Lifting her head, Si Fuqing saw Xu Xiyun giving her a fist salute. “Teacher Si, don’t be afraid. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we’ll travel the journey with you. Please don’t feel inferior because of your appearance!” Si Fuqing:
She handed another training chart to Xie Yu. “It seems that eight kilometers is too easy for you. Add another five kilometers. Xie Yu, keep an eye on him.” Xu Xiyun:
Xie Yu raised an eyebrow, “Take care, Teacher Si. I’ll be watching the live stream.”
Si Fuqing shrugged her shoulders, donned her coat, and left the dance studio.
Lin Qingyan also happened to walk out.
“Is Teacher Si heading back to remove her makeup?” She paused and gave a thin-lipped smile. “I must say, I really admire your courage. But what about our bet?”
She wasn’t regretting the push she had given with her online army to get Si Fuqing trending.
“Hello?” Si Fuqing ignored her and walked past. “Sansan, you’re outside, right?
Bring some makeup remover to my apartment. Just the liquid is fine.”
“Makeup-removing balm works too. Just grab anything; I don’t care about the brand.”
Meanwhile, in the city center, inside a car.
Feng San stared at his phone, deep in thought.
Seconds later, he mustered the courage to speak, “Brother Nine, Miss Si asked me to buy some makeup removal products. She said any would do, but I think it’s better to go with a well-known brand, at least for the quality of the ingredients.”
“But I don’t know anything about cosmetics brands. What should we buy?” What’s the difference between makeup-removing liquid and balm?
He was genuinely perplexed, being a man of simple tastes.
If it were about choosing firearms or weapons, he’d be in his element.
Yu Xiheng rested his chin on his hand, and calmly said, “Then buy one of each kind from every brand.” Feng San:
That seemed like a good idea.
“Alright,” Feng San agreed, “Brother Nine, there’s a shopping mall up ahead. I’ll go right now.”
Yu Xiheng hummed softly in acknowledgment, leaning back in his seat to close his eyes and rest.
Across the street was a coffee shop.
Xia Sheng ordered two coffees. “Thank you, Mr. Yu, for taking the time to meet me amidst your busy schedule.”
Yu Yao nodded, neither warm nor cold, and asked as a matter of routine, “How are you feeling?”
“Much better,” Xia Sheng smiled. “How is Miss Ji doing? She helped me out last time, and I haven’t had the chance to thank her yet.”
Yu Yao’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. “Not so well.”
Xia Sheng pursed his lips, visibly concerned. “1 see. I heard she’s been on medication for years and hasn’t shown much improvement.”
“She will be fine,” Yu Yao said flatly, his thoughts on the Heavenly Doctor Ghosthand he was seeking.
“Xia Sheng!” An assistant rushed in at that moment. “The link for the live stream from East Moon has been released, but they haven’t responded to our demands.”
Xia Sheng’s expression shifted, and he let out a bitter smile. “Well, if that’s the case, let it be.”
“How can we let it go?” the assistant protested. “It should have been yours!” Yu Yao frowned. “What’s going on?”
“The endorsement that should have gone to Xia Sheng was snatched by a controversial idol,” the assistant grumbled. “An idol should stick to their own field. This is clearly bullying us for lacking the capital.”
Xia Sheng suddenly coughed hard. “Stop talking nonsense!”
“Which controversial idol?” Yu Yao wasn’t interested in the entertainment circle. “And what brand?”
“Xia Sheng, don’t stop me. I really can’t stand her,” the assistant blurted. “It’s Si
Fuqing, who else could it be?”
Yu Yao paused. “It’s her?”
Xia Sheng cautiously asked, “You know her?”
“I don’t,” Yu Yao’s expression remained icy. “But the way she obtained this endorsement is indeed questionable.”
“Exactly!” the assistant complained. “If it weren’t for Xia Sheng’s love for traditional styles, we wouldn’t even care about this brand.”
“In that case,” Yu Yao put down his teacup, “if you’re interested, I can talk to the brand on your behalf.”
Xia Sheng was pleasantly surprised. “That would be greatly appreciated. Please convey my gratitude to Miss Ji when you return to the city of Sijiu.”
Yu Yao’s expression softened, and he nodded.
After finishing his coffee, he left.
“Why didn’t you let me speak?” the assistant was unhappy. “With Young Master Yu here, at least you wouldn’t lose the endorsement.”
Xia Sheng sighed. “Young Master Yu did this for Miss Ji’s sake. We have no personal ties with him. It’s already good enough that he agreed to meet; it’s not appropriate to ask for more.”
“Miss Ji is really a good person. No wonder Mr. Yu likes her,” the assistant said, a hint of envy in her voice. “Xia Sheng, you’re not feeling well either. Let’s go back.”
Xia Sheng nodded.
They returned to the apartment, and it was already 7:10 in the evening.
“Xia Sheng, there’s no rush. Si Fuqing is about to remove her makeup,” the assistant glanced at the time and took out a tablet. “Let’s watch and see what she has to take your endorsement!”
Xia Sheng smiled gently, her temperament ever so kind. “Alright, let’s take a look then.”
The assistant opened the website.
As they entered the live stream, the screen was filled with a barrage of comments.
After the middle section of the comments were removed, the assistant finally saw that the screen was laden with bottles and jars, bearing various labels.
[Did Si Fuqing raid a beauty store and buy all the makeup remover products from every brand?]
[What’s the point of having so many makeup removers? Can they change your face?]
[Stop stalling, can you remove the makeup already? Hurry up, I still have to go play Oracle!]
[Me too, me too. A new dungeon is coming out; we have to get into the top hundred servers if we can’t get the first kill.]
“What’s with all the makeup removers?” Si Fuqing read the comments and answered, “Oh, just in case you think I’m wearing a fake face. I’ll remove my makeup several times.”
“And if you still think that way, then what will need cleaning won’t be my face, but your eyes.”
The internet users who felt ridiculed: ‘
[Whoa, guys, she’s too arrogant. We can’t let this slide!]
[I want to see just how beautiful you actually are!]
The assistant’s mouth hung open. “Xia Sheng, she’s really arrogant. Can she survive in the entertainment industry with this attitude?”
Xia Sheng remained silent, but her eyes were glued to the screen, not moving an inch.
Even though she hadn’t said anything online, she had contacted the people at East Moon. Their attitude clearly indicated there was no room for negotiation.
She also wanted to know why East Moon chose Si Fuqing over her.
Back at the table, Si Fuqing washed her hands.
She squeezed the makeup remover onto her palm in front of the camera, and then slowly applied it to her entire face.
[E’s makeup remover, I’ve used it before. Very effective.]
[Everyone, hold your breath and don’t blink. Let’s see how ugly Si Fuqing really is! The ugliest woman in the entertainment industry is removing her makeup!]
[Wow, I’m a little scared. What if I get so frightened that I can’t sleep?] [Comments! Please protect me She’s washing her face! Warning ahead!!!]
