Chapter 44
(18.4)
At ten oâclock in the morning, the alarm clock woke up Lu Wanwan in time. She got up from the bed in a daze and her head cleared up only after she had brushed her teeth and washed her face.
Without putting on makeup, she rushed directly to the tournament venue, where there was already an arranged make-up artist.
Lu Wanwan was very excited about her new job. She had never been involved in any hosting type of event before.
She looked beautiful, even without makeup, she was able to steal the limelight of others.
This circle was originally very small, and Lu Wanwan couldnât avoid running into the original body ownerâs former classmate, Xia Zhi.
âHow come Miss Lu is coming out to work? I remember you used to say that you would never work all your life and would only stay at home and have others serve you.â
Lu Wanwan smiled lightly: âIâm just getting some life experience.â
Wasnât it all about showing off ? She was the best at it.
Someone tugged Xia Zhi and whispered in her ear, âI heard that her husband is the young master of the Shen family, it would be best not to offend her.â
The capitalâs Shen family was an existence that everyone feared. There were several remarkable big characters in the family who all had a strong background. Even those with a little standing had to be careful and measure their weight to see whether or not they could afford to offend the Shen family.
Xia Zhi was silent for a moment, and then laughed out loud with no regard for her image, âWhat do you mean she canât be offended, sheâs the daughter of a small countryside boss, sheâs only got little money and thatâs it. Besides, her familyâs two shabby companies are likely to go out of business in the next two years.â
When Xia Zhi had laughed enough, she added: âBesides, the Shen family isnât backing her, she ah, she has long been dumped by the young master of the Shen family, whatâs the saying? Itâs what you call a repudiated wife !â
âLook at her, even if she got married to a Shen familyâs member, she still got abandoned just like that, because they despised that she isnât suitable to marry into their family.â
Recently, Lu Wanwan had been constantly looking for a lawyer while the Shen grandfather had been looking for some young girls in their twenties. When people linked these two events together, some of them really believed that Lu Wanwan had been dumped by Shen Yi.
Moreover, the rumor that the Shen grandfather hated Lu Wanwan had been circulating around for quite some time already.
Most people were waiting to see Lu Wanwan getting humiliated.
Nowadays, the eldest miss Lu, which had never experienced the hardships of the world, was actually willing to humble herself and come out to work, which seemed to validate even more the rumors saying she had been abandoned.
Xia Zhi blew on her freshly done nails and cast a mocking glance at her twice, âShe really thinks sheâs become some kind of big shot.â
Lu Wanwan remained calm inside, she didnât want to deal with idiots.
There was only one makeup artist in the dressing room, and it was supposed to be her turn when Xia Zhi was finished with her makeup.
Xia Zhi, taking advantage of her experience and popularity, was picking on Lu Wanwan on purpose, and did not allow the make-up artist to do Lu Wanwanâs make-up.
As for the others, they were used to bow to the high and step on the low, and when they learned that Lu Wanwan seemed to have been expelled from the Shen family, they werenât as polite towards her as they were before.
Xia Zhi, watching the isolated Lu Wanwan, felt happy inside her heart. While she was fiddling with the new watch on her wrist, she said: âMiss Lu, I suggest you go back home, give the company some compensation money, lest later you scare the audience by being on stage without makeup on.â
âThe times are different now, youâre nothing more than an abandoned woman now. No one will help you.â

Xia Zhi had been monopolizing the makeup artist and it was clear that she wouldnât let her do Lu Wanwanâs makeup.
Seeing that it was almost time to get on stage, Lu Wanwan didnât intend to continue arguing with Xia Zhi at this time. She couldnât mess up this first job. As for Xia Zhi, sheâd wait until it was over to settle accounts with her.
Lu Wanwanâs skin was good, she just put on a little bit of makeup and it was enough to appear on the screen. The woman in the mirror had a delicate and beautiful face, and she looked absolutely charming.
Xia Zhi couldnât stand the sight of Lu Wanwan because the two had an history dating back from the time they were in college. Womenâs jealousy was frightening and Lu Wanwan looked prettier than her, her hosting talent was also much higher than her and back then, many boys in the department courted her, including Xia Zhiâs male idol.
This was a group tournament. After the game, there would be four teams participating in the interviews. Lu Wanwan was in charge of interviewing the old champion team which got very bad results this year, while Xia Zhi was in charge of interviewing this yearâs favorite team.
Xia Zhi was the entertainment companyâs contractual host. Over the years, she had hosted many small and large events and thus she was quite famous in the circle and also had a group of fans.
The interviewees were familiar with her, so the whole interview was conducted in a very harmonious atmosphere.
This was Lu Wanwanâs first time as a host and it was inevitable for her to be nervous. Although she was holding a prepared script in her hands, she still almost forgot her lines when it was time.
