Chapter 400: Chapter 400: Her Patron Is Young Master Zhong

Down the corridor, a group of people hurried along.

The woman at the forefront wore sunglasses and a duckbill cap, obscuring most of her face. She appeared slightly thin, but with all the right curves, and her tight mini skirt revealed a pair of straight, fair long legs.

Even her walk was filled with an air of presence, followed by three or four assistants carrying bags large and small.

Haicheng TV Station’s staff trailed beside her, smiling apologetically as they explained, "Miss Lin, our Miss Qingqing does indeed have arrangements today. We’ve assigned you another makeup artist, and your makeup room is just over there."

Lin Xifei took off her sunglasses, revealing her palm-sized face and said, "When I come to Haicheng, I only use Qingqing as my makeup artist; I’m not comfortable with anyone else. Whatever schedule she has, clear it immediately, I can pay double."

"Miss Lin, it’s not about the money. There genuinely are other arrangements, and the TV station is taking this very seriously."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xifei was not pleased.

In the entertainment circle, she commanded the wind and summon the rain. Even the old timers had to give way to her, and wherever she went, she received the best treatment. Everyone in the circle knew she had a big backer behind her—no one dared to slight her.

But now, unexpectedly, someone in Haicheng had the audacity to overstep.

Lin Xifei stopped in her tracks and said, "Qingqing is in this makeup room, right?"

"Miss Lin, there’s already someone inside."

Despite the staff’s attempts to stop her, Lin Xifei nonetheless insisted on barging in.

With a loud clang, the door to the makeup room was flung open heavily, hitting the wall and swinging back and forth.

Lin Xifei immediately saw the young woman sitting in front of the dressing table, a new face. At least she had never seen her in the entertainment circle. Had such a figure really risen during the few months she was out of the country filming?

Must be someone with a big backer, daring to demand the best treatment from the TV station.

Who could have promoted this clueless rookie?

Upon closer inspection, the girl indeed had some looks.

Lin Xifei arrogantly looked at Qiao Xi and said, "This makeup room has always been mine, and Qingqing is my exclusive makeup artist. Have the TV station reassign you somewhere else; this place is mine now."

Her tone was entirely commanding, with no intention of being negotiable.

"Miss Lin, we’ve prepared a more suitable makeup room for you. Perhaps..."

One was Young Madam Huo, and the other a Best Actress with a backer from the Imperial Capital.

The ones in trouble were indeed the staff of the TV station.

Lin Xifei took off her sunglasses, chin lifted, and said, "I want this room today, Qingqing, come over."

The makeup artist, Qingqing, looked troubled, hesitating before saying, "Miss Lin, Miss Qiao’s recording is in the afternoon, and your variety show is in the evening. If I do her makeup first and then yours, it wouldn’t cause any delay. What do you think?"

This compromise was an attempt at a solution that would satisfy everyone.

Lin Xifei bit out her words firmly, "No, not good!"

Ever since she entered the entertainment industry, she had never given in to her peers. Those who had not seen eye to eye with her had been taken care of by her, and were probably out in the cold somewhere now.

Lin Xifei’s assistant had learned her boss’s arrogant ways, and cursed outright, "Why should we allow you to go first? Who is she? A newcomer green as grass daring to contend with a Best Actress? Hurry up and vacate this makeup room and get lost."

Lin Xifei stood by, impatiently waiting for them to move.

Qiao Xi sat in front of the makeup mirror, her voice cold as she said, "Miss Qingqing, isn’t it time for the foundation?"

"Yes, it is," Qingqing said with some difficulty.

"Then continue, please."

Qiao Xi was exceptionally calm.

Had they started with a polite discussion, she might have accommodated them. After all, she wasn’t part of the entertainment circle, but faced with their aggressive behavior, Qiao Xi was unwilling to yield.

A backer?

She had one too.

Lin Xifei’s assistant briskly walked over, snatched the foundation from Qingqing’s hand, and slammed it to the ground, "Can’t you understand human language? Who’s more important, her or our Best Actress Lin?"

The glass bottle of foundation smashed to the floor, spilling its contents mixed with glass shards.

The makeup room corridor was crowded with staff, who began whispering among themselves.

"Don’t they use the internet?"

"Best Actress Lin’s team has been working abroad for a long time, perhaps they don’t know about the recent events in Haicheng."

"No wonder!"

Lin Xifei, with her keen ears, asked, "What do you mean?"

She really hadn’t been following domestic news, as she had come straight to Haicheng to record upon returning to the country to maintain her presence.

"They mean you’ve hit a snag."

Huo Sijiao slowly approached from the corridor, followed by the staff from Jinling Grand Hotel carrying packed meals, which they placed in the room.

Huo Sijiao, arms crossed, looked at Lin Xifei and said, "Didn’t you bother to investigate someone’s background before trying to snatch their things? You dared to brazenly grab something belonging to my sister-in-law! Who gave you the courage to tell her to leave?"

"You..."

Lin Xifei stared at her and asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Huo Sijiao smiled brightly, "Have you not considered why, despite knowing you would come, the TV station still arranged the best makeup room and top makeup artist for my sister-in-law? Truly an airhead. Your sponsor must like that about you, right? The TV station staff didn’t spell it out because they wanted to save you some face, but it seems you just love getting publicly humiliated!"

Finally, Lin Xifei understood.

She had really taken a fall this time.

Years of arrogance had become second nature to her.

Never had she thought someone could have a bigger backing than hers.

By then, her assistant had found the news on the internet and said in a pale, quiet voice, "The person inside is Young Madam Huo of Tianyuan Group, the long-lost precious daughter of Haicheng’s Liu Family, who is also an apprentice to National Doctor Cheng Han."

Just Tianyuan Group alone was overwhelming.

And she was Liu Family’s precious daughter!

Connected to National Doctor Cheng Han too.

Lin Xifei felt a chill down her spine and, gritting her teeth, forced a strained smile and said, "So it’s Young Madam Huo. Sorry, I just got back from abroad and am suffering from jet lag, so I spoke out of turn. I hope you won’t take it to heart."

She really couldn’t afford to offend!

Who knew that such an esteemed Young Madam Huo would come to Haicheng TV Station to record a program?

"No offense taken,"

Qiao Xi sat in the makeup chair and, looking at Lin Xifei through the makeup mirror, said with a cold face, "Since you’ve apologized, why don’t you clean up the mess on the floor as well?"

Lin Xifei put on a smile, "Of course."

She hurried her assistant to clean up the spilled foundation.

Huo Sijiao stopped the assistant with a hand and looked at Lin Xifei, "You clean it up yourself as an apology to my sister-in-law. A light apology won’t suffice for us. I’m not as patient as my sister-in-law."

With Huo Sijiao calling her "sister-in-law" in every sentence, Lin Xifei knew she was a young lady from the Huo Family, not to be lightly offended either.

Yet she relied on Young Master Zhong and had never suffered such humiliation before!
