Out of control and sinking

Chapter 378 What's your name?

stli stopped in her tracks, and when she felt the woman's gaze sweep over her, Jiang Ruan smiled at her and said gently, "Hello, stli."

She didn't extend her hand directly, but extending it would have been very polite.

But Jiang Ruan's intuition told her that this woman was very arrogant.

Even if she reached out, stli wouldn't give her any face.

Moreover, many people in the fashion industry have a severe case of obsessive-compulsive disorder related to cleanliness.

They strongly resist physical contact.

stli looked Jiang Ruan up and down.

Because she was wearing sunglasses that covered half of her face, Jiang Ruan couldn't see her expression.

Then Stli said in a nonchalant tone, "You're here early enough."

Then I just walked right past her.

He didn't even wait for her to reply.

To be precise, they don't care at all.

This surprised Jiang Ruan.

Sister Qin calmly comforted her: "Am I right? She's not just arrogant towards you. She's like that towards everyone. She doesn't even give internationally famous actresses and actors a second glance."

Jiang Ruan listened and smiled helplessly: "Everyone has their own personality. Maybe she was just born this way."

Sister Qin: "Yes."

Sister Qin quietly leaned closer: "But there are quite a few rumors about her in the industry. I heard she's been divorced three times and is still single, all because she couldn't have children and was abandoned by men."

Jiang Ruan looked at Sister Qin with surprise, and the two exchanged glances.

Is it really that bad?
Sister Qin nodded.

Jiang Ruan couldn't help but sigh.

He married and divorced three times, and each time he was abandoned under the pretext of not having children.

From this perspective, stli is truly in a terrible situation.

For an ordinary person, getting divorced once and being abandoned once is enough to cause pain for half a lifetime.

She, on the other hand, experienced the same pain three times.

Suddenly, Jiang Ruan could understand why she was so arrogant.

Because they have been hurt too many times, they have lost the ability to empathize.

When I got to the backstage dressing room, I passed by the office and saw stli talking to her team.

Jiang Ruan looked over and finally saw Stli's face clearly.

She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she had a lot of charisma.

At this moment, she was focused on talking to the person next to her, exuding the aura of a professional and powerful woman in every gesture.

Very charming.

Jiang Ruan turned away and went into the dressing room.

Then came the two-hour makeup session, as the makeup for the advertisement was different from what I usually wear.

The style, the characteristics, every detail must be a refined version.

However, Jiang Ruan's skin has always been very good, and the makeup artist couldn't help but praise her: "Miss Jiang, your skin is so good."

"It's like the skin of a newborn baby."

Jiang Ruan was a little embarrassed: "Thank you."

"Really, I've done makeup for many female celebrities in the entertainment industry, and your skin is the best I've ever seen. There aren't a single pore or blackhead." The makeup artist exclaimed excitedly, "What's your usual skincare routine? What cosmetics do you use? Can you recommend some?"

Jiang Ruan couldn't refuse her enthusiasm, especially since it was just a small sharing.

So I shared it with her without hesitation.

The makeup artist was very grateful: "Thank you, thank you."

Jiang Ruan smiled and said, "You're welcome."

Sister Qin, standing beside her, joked, "Don't blame Jiang Ruan if it doesn't work for you. After all, everyone's skin is different, and Jiang Ruan's skin is naturally this good. It was like this when I first met her."

"Don't tell me you're envious; I'm always incredibly envious and jealous when I see her without makeup."

The makeup artist laughed heartily: "Don't worry, it won't happen."

"Miss Jiang's skin is something that all the female celebrities in the entertainment industry would envy."

Jiang Ruan couldn't help but laugh as she listened, and said coquettishly, "It's not that exaggerated."

"Look at how much you two are praising me, you're practically praising me to the heavens."

"I'm serious, your skin is absolutely top-notch."

The makeup artist said with a smile.

The makeup artist was very humorous and interesting, and Jiang Ruan was in a very pleasant mood during the makeup process, chatting and laughing with Sister Qin and the other two.

When stli finished her work and came over, she heard a cheerful atmosphere backstage.

The makeup artist joked, "Miss Jiang, you're so pretty, do you have a boyfriend?" As soon as she said that, both Jiang Ruan and Sister Qin looked at her.

The makeup artist belatedly realized she had misspoke and quickly apologized, "Oh dear, I forgot, female celebrities can't date, oops, oops, never mind."

Jiang Ruan smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm still young, I'm not in a hurry to find a partner."

"Besides, what's more appealing for a man than building a career?"

She's speaking so seriously.

If Sister Qin knew that she and Bo Ye had been together right under her nose for so long, she might actually be fooled by her innocent expression.

He muttered to himself, but remained outwardly composed, jokingly saying, "It's alright, we still need to talk, but not for the next few years."

"She's young, so it's a good thing that she's focusing on her career."

The makeup artist laughed and said, "Yes."

Just then, a cool voice sounded from behind: "How's the transformation going?"

stli walked over with a stern face, still maintaining that unapproachable demeanor.

The boss arrived, and the makeup artist instantly dropped her playful smile: "Almost done, soon, editor-in-chief."

stli hummed in agreement, walked up to Jiang Ruan, and looked at the cover girl he had personally chosen.

A look of amazement flashed across his eyes.

The first outfit is in the style of an aristocratic lady.

She wasn't wearing a formal dress yet, but her makeup was already stunning. Combined with her elegant and noble face, every glance and smile made people want to take a second look.

STLI has been searching for a cover actress for almost two months, and originally wanted to choose from among the international film actresses they had worked with in the past.

All the ones I could choose from were unavailable.

She didn't like the ones who were available.

In the end, they had no choice but to select from the younger generation.

Of all those photos, Jiang Ruan was the one she spotted at first glance. Although young and with a relatively short resume, she was considered one of the more promising young actresses.

So stli decided on her.

The entire afternoon's shooting process went very smoothly.

After more than a month of experience shooting commercials, Jiang Ruan can now handle any shoot almost instantly.

Even when wearing a dress that weighs dozens of kilograms, she can instantly adjust her posture, exuding elegance with every gesture and twist of her waist.

Even Sister Qin, watching from the side, couldn't help but be amazed by her beauty.

Sister Qin looked away and secretly glanced at Stli for a signal.

Sure enough, I could see the appreciation in her eyes.

It was obvious that Jiang Ruan had caught her eye.

Sister Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Three formal dresses, three sets of commercials.

It was already 10 p.m. when we finished filming.

Sister Qin was handling matters outside of work with the people from Bazaar Era. After changing her clothes, Jiang Ruan was so tired that she sat on the sofa and didn't want to move at all.

Just then, a girl's voice rang out from not far behind.

"Sister, are you done with your work?"

"Shall we go eat?"

Jiang Ruan glanced around out of boredom and saw someone she never expected to run into here.

Jiang Ruan's pupils dilated sharply when she saw that face.

She barely had time to think before she got up and headed over there.

Jiang Ruan checked again and again, confirming that it was indeed this face.

The girl clung to Stli's arm affectionately and called her "sister," so she must be Stli's younger sister.

Upon reaching her, Jiang Ruan smiled and said, "Stli, you've worked so hard today. I'll treat you to dinner later."

Stli was still a bit awkward, but her tone was much better than at the beginning: "No need, I've already promised her I'd go eat with her."

"next time."

Jiang Ruan wasn't disappointed: "Okay."
