Chapter 90: I Didn’t Think You Knew How to Flatter People

He was too close to her, and Jiang Xun didn’t know why his voice had suddenly lowered by an octave. His voice was also slightly hoarse. It was sensual and seductive, almost like he was trying to draw her in.

She swallowed and hurriedly avoided Mufeng’s gaze, then lowered her eyes, not daring to look him in the face. “You’re not going with us tomorrow.”

It was only then did Mufeng focus on the script. It was written that he would be eating and traveling separately from the rest of the participants. Even his makeup would be done separately.

This was because he would be appearing as a surprise guest this time; the organizers had invited him onto the show without informing the other guests.

But of course, Jiang Xun was in the know.

Not even Hou Guanglin was aware that Jiang Xun and Mufeng knew each other, much less that they’d come to the hotel, had dinner and even stayed in one room together until such a late time.

After processing what he’d read, Mufeng said regretfully, “Seems like I can’t.”

“It’s okay. I’m looking forward to seeing you as a surprise guest,” Jiang Xun said politely.

What else could she say?

Unexpectedly, Mufeng smiled. “Really?”

“Yes…” Jiang Xun didn’t expect him to really believe her. Could CEOs trust people so blindly?

It was then that Mufeng rose from his seat. “We have to start filming tomorrow morning. You should rest early tonight.”

Jiang Xun only heaved a sigh of relief after she saw him out of her room. However, even though Mufeng had already left, the room still seemed to be filled with the wooden fragrance of his body. .

This caused Jiang Xun to be unable to fall asleep even though she went to bed early.

The next morning, Jiang Xun went to the restaurant to have breakfast, then was brought to the studio to have her makeup applied.

The makeup artist in charge of her, Yu Wenbin, was about to apply makeup, but Jiang Xun stopped her.”Is it fine if I just put on lipstick? I’ve watched the previous two episodes, and it seems like there will be a lot of physical activity. If I put on makeup, won’t it be ruined if I sweat? I might as well not put it on.”

“It’s okay. I’ll be following you around so that i can touch up your makeup at any time,” Wenbin explained.

“That won’t do. What if the black-shirted people come while you’re touching up my makeup?” Jiang Xun hurriedly shook her head. “Won’t this delay me from completing my task? I just need to put on some lipstick.”

Wenbin’s lips twitched. She had done so many episodes, but this was the first time she had encountered someone who didn’t want to put on makeup.

The female guests who came to participate in the program usually asked for her to put on as much makeup as she wanted, and even after she finished, they would usually have even more complaints and have her redo the makeup.

Jiang Xun, on the other hand, did not allow her to put on any makeup at all. This made Wenbin feel as if she’d wasted her skills, somehow.

Although Jiang Xun was indeed good-looking and her skin was thin and white, which was indeed able to stand up to the camera, it would be different from how she looked in real life. Obviously, Jiang Xun did not know this.

Besides, the guests came to the program just to show off in front of the camera. Who actually came to the show with the intention of winning?

“Okay,” Wenbin said unhappily, “I hope you don’t regret not putting any on.”

“I’d regret it more if I put some on.” Jiang Xun didn’t care.

In the end, Wenbin ended up putting some pink lipstick on Jiang Xun.

After that, Jiang Xun followed the program team to the place where they would be filming the episode. In the film studio, there were different setups mainly imitating the buildings and architecture of different dynasties.

This time, they went to the building area resembling Mingguo City. The episode would be livestreamed. After it was done, the footage would be edited and reuploaded so that viewers who didn’t have time to watch the initial livestream could watch at their leisure.

This format could also satisfy their viewers’ curiosity about content beyond the main film.

One by one, the six regular participants stepped out onto the stage

As Jiang Xun was one of the special guests, she would be the second last person to appear on stage.

“Jiang Xun, it’s your turn,” the director whispered to her. Hearing that, Jiang Xun alighted from the car she was in. The cameraman followed after her.

Today’s JJ: [The program probably doesn’t use any beauty filters, right?]

Spicy JJ. [Even if they do, then the filter should apply to everyone, right? They wouldn’t use a different filter just for Jiang Xun.]

Jiang Jiang Shredding: [The television station’s camera is famous for its filters.]

Super Sweet JJ. [The director cued Jiang Jiang! She’s about to appear!]

[I believe that JJ’s looks will definitely sway people to her side!]

At this moment, the livestream automatically switched to Jiang Xun’s camera.

[Jiang Jiang! It’s Jiang Jiang!]

[JJ is so beautiful!]

[She looks so good in sportswear!]

[Is this sportswear custom-made by the program team? Why does it look so good on Jiang Jiang? I want it too!]

At this moment, the camera zoomed in to give a close-up of Jiang Xun’s face.

[Jiang Jiang doesn’t seem to be wearing makeup. I can’t see any traces of makeup at all.]

[Doesn’t seem like she drew her eyebrows, either.]

[I don’t see any eyeliner, eye shadow, or mascara.]

[Damn, Jiang Jiang is so brave to appear on the show without any makeup!]

[Even though there’s no mascara, JJ’s eyelashes are so long and thick!]

[Heh, her eyelashes aren’t bad if she doesn’t need mascara to look good.]

[Some people are so sour. Can’t they honestly admit that others are good-looking?]

[Big Boss Xun is so daring <3]

“Welcome, Jiang Xun,” Hou Guanglin said from offscreen.

The six permanent guests also applauded to show their enthusiasm. Zhang Xiangyou even took the initiative to give up his seat to Jiang Xun.

In this episode, among the regular participants, Zhang Kangwang had the highest seniority, while Xiangyou was the most popular.

Therefore, the two of them were standing in the VIP spot.

Now that Xiangyou was going to give up the middle seat between himself and Kangwang, Jiang Xun would definitely be in the VIP spot.

Yu Mingshu and Li Ruhan’s smiles froze. If Jiang Xun had any self-awareness, she wouldn’t stand there at all.

Jiang Xun, however, waved her hand. “I’ll just stand by the side,” she said, then stood all the way at the end of the line instead of Xiangyou’s place.

[Humph! Jiang Xun still has some self-awareness, so at least she’s not rubbing up against Youyou.]

“Jiang Xun, the number one beauty in the Shanpin, really lives up to her reputation,” Kangwang said with a smile.

They weren’t looking at her through the camera lens, so they could see it more clearly than the audience could. Jiang Xun didn’t have any makeup on apart from some pale pink lipstick, yet her skin still looked better than those who were using foundation to cover up their blemishes.

Her skin was so nice that not even her pores could be seen. It looked a healthy pale pink.

Kangwang was embarrassed to say that even though Jiang Xun didn’t have any makeup on, she was still better-looking than all the female guests present.

“Not at all. I’m still far inferior to the three seniors here,” Jiang Xun said politely.

The system’s voice was filled with surprise. “Host, that’s amazing. I didn’t think that you knew how to flatter people.”

“It’s not like I’m missing out on anything, so what’s wrong with saying a few words?”

“You’re a guest today. How can you let a guest stand by the side?” Cheng Shi said, smiling.

“That’s right.” Xu Miaotong pulled Jiang Xun. “Stand in the middle.”

Since everyone said so, Mingshu and Ruhan also moved Jiang Xun to the middle spot, but Jiang Xun still refused to stand there and instead stood between Xiang You and Miaotong.
