Chapter 519: Chapter 519 Cosmetics (1)_1

Lu Juan had no issue, but Zhen Ni was lacking confidence, hesitantly saying to Situ Xin, "Designer, I’ve just started in the industry and don’t have much experience," Zhen Ni knew that being the finale model in a show was an excellent opportunity for her. If she performed well, she could become famous; of course, if she made a mistake on the runway, she could also imagine the consequences waiting for her.

Her friend, who had been in the industry, had told her that it was a deep and challenging world. To really stand out from the thousands of models and become famous was very difficult. Some models, even after walking shows all their life, remained unknown.

So, Zhen Ni first felt overjoyed at this opportunity that seemed to have dropped from the sky. But after the joy came deep fear and insecurity.

"It’s okay, experience accumulates over time. Look at me, I also have no experience in holding a fashion show. I was completely dragged in to make up the numbers," Situ Xin said, causing the corners of Lu Juan and Yu Shiyin’s mouths to twitch involuntarily.

They both thought, there was no need for Situ Xin to belittle himself to comfort that model. No experience? That might be true, but being dragged in to make up the numbers was certainly not the case. The selection for designers to hold fashion shows during Fashion Week was very strict. Without real talent, even the biggest connections were useless.

"Alright, I’m the designer here, so listen to me. Hurry up, don’t waste everyone’s time. Take this dress and put it on for me to see. Of course, I’ve already said the unpleasant truth: if the dress doesn’t suit you, I certainly won’t choose you to be the final model," Situ Xin said as he picked up the main showpiece dress, handed it to Zhen Ni, and then pushed her towards the fitting area, waving his hand impatiently at her, signaling her to hurry up.

The models who hadn’t received a dress looked at the newcomer Zhen Ni, who was actually chosen by the designer to be the last to walk out, and their eyes flashed with jealousy. Situ Xin glanced at the envious looks in the eyes of those models and snorted internally, "Hmph, exactly because of that jealousy in your hearts, I didn’t choose you. Otherwise, Zhen Ni would never have had the chance to be the finale."

Situ Xin kept these thoughts to himself, and his face showed no sign of them as he busied himself with the task at hand.

Lu Juan and Yu Shiyin had also finished the audition for the model recommended by Zhen Ni and were quite satisfied with the results, so they formally hired her.

By the time Situ Xin had distributed all the clothes, Zhen Ni had finished trying on her dress and emerged from the fitting area.

"Hmm, not bad," Situ Xin commented with a nod, looking at Zhen Ni who seemed like a completely different person after changing into the dress.

Lu Juan and Yu Shiyin, amazed by the transformation and the change in her aura, opened their mouths in surprise. Especially Lu Juan, who said to Situ Xin, "Baby, I didn’t expect that not only is your design incredible, but your eye for talent is so sharp too. If it were me, I really wouldn’t have seen that this model would be a different person in this dress," instead of praising the model, Lu Juan complimented Situ Xin’s discernment.

"Of course, didn’t you see who I am?" Situ Xin boasted unabashedly to his aunt. His smug little look was met with Xiao Muli’s doting gaze. If it weren’t for the distance between them and the presence of others at the time, Xiao Muli would have undoubtedly reached out and stroked Situ Xin’s hair and then pulled him into his embrace.

Xiao Muli thought this and seemed to smell the unique scent of Situ Xin.

After changing clothes, Zhen Ni knew from the surprised and amazed looks of everyone that the effect must be good. This helped ease her anxious heart somewhat. However, without the affirmation from the designer, her feelings remained suspended in mid-air.

Holding up her dress, Zhen Ni stood opposite Situ Xin, timidly watching him like a little schoolgirl waiting for praise. Her expression brought a pleased smile to Situ Xin’s face, "Zhen Ni, what is with that expression? Relax your facial expressions, otherwise, it might diminish the effect of this dress," he said while carefully examining how the dress fit her. "Hmm, the waist is a bit big, but I’ll just make some adjustments later, and there won’t be any other issues."

"Allen, Daniel, it’s up to you guys now." Situ Xin temporarily used pins to take in the excess fabric at Zhen Ni’s waist and then looked up to Allen and Daniel, who were ready to do the model’s makeup.

"No problem, leave it to us," Daniel and Allen said in unison.

Situ Xin made temporary adjustments to the other models’ clothes, and once they had quickly changed back, he planned to make final alterations to ensure a perfect presentation on the show day.

"Xin, the skin condition of many of these models is too poor; they simply don’t have the fresh look you require." As Situ Xin finished her tasks and was about to find somewhere to rest her sore back, Daniel approached, frowning and visibly irritated.

Daniel pulled Situ Xin over to the makeup tables. Ignoring the models’ displeased faces, he pointed directly at their skin and said, "Xin, look, their skin is suffering from the constant use of makeup, never having a chance to properly rest. Many are breaking out in acne. Some even have faces that are pockmarked, like the surface of the moon." As Daniel spoke, many of the models’ faces darkened.

However, given that Daniel was a well-known makeup artist in the industry, notorious for his sharp tongue, none of the models dared to direct their anger at him.
