I Dominate the Entertainment Industry with My Styling Skills

IDEMS Ch. 13. Resolution of the Incident, Preparation Second Public Stage

Qi Yanning didn't want to waste any more energy on this already stubborn stylist. He nodded to Director Lin, signaling that everything was now in the director's hands.

"Qi Yanning! Admit it! You're not as good as that master! Oh, I almost forgot, you were on that show too, right? You must have met that master..." Lin He, having lost all hope, stared at Qi Yanning, his eyes bloodshot.

Lin He was truly jealous. Qi Yanning, a former idol with poor singing and dancing skills, had somehow managed to join the production team and become the de facto leader of the styling group.

If Qi Yanning's achievements didn't match his abilities, Lin He might have been able to suppress his jealousy. But the fact was that Qi Yanning possessed skills that even amazed him.

How was it possible? Lin He, who had been in the industry for seven or eight years, couldn't believe that someone who had entered late and was unfamiliar with makeup could surpass him.

Still, a malicious smile crept onto Lin He's face as he spoke, full of spite, "So, after meeting him, did you feel the vast difference between the two of you?"

Hearing this, Qi Yanning's narrow eyes casually swept over Lin He's flushed, angry face. He toyed with a strand of hair by his cheek, then turned to look at Director Lin.

Such a petty character wouldn't even warrant the attention of the head stylist back in the day.

Director Lin coughed lightly, his expression turning grim. Just as he was about to speak, a female voice interrupted.

"But..." the voice was filled with anger and confusion, "the styling you're talking about, isn't that from Pi Huan's second public performance? That was also done by Qi-ge!"

The room fell into a complete silence.

The other stylists and assistants, who had no idea about this, looked at Qi Yanning in shock. Director Lin's expression shifted from anger to surprise.

Even Li Qing raised his head, looking at Qi Yanning with disbelief.

The one who couldn't accept this the most was Lin He.

"No way!"

How could this be possible? The amazing style, the one he had studied for so long, was actually also created by Qi Yanning?

Lin He didn't want to believe it, but a growing sense of unease began to overwhelm him.

He frantically recalled: Pi Huan's breakout styling was during the second public performance, right before Qi Yanning's departure from the show was announced. Ever since Qi Yanning left, although Pi Huan's styling continued in a similar vein, it never quite reached the same level of brilliance.

Lin He had even quietly regretted this at one point...

His hand frantically messed up his neatly styled hair, turning it into a bird's nest.

"Lin He, you should leave too," Director Lin's voice rang out.

Lin He shuddered. He looked up at Qi Yanning, his previous jealousy and defiance now completely replaced by despair.

He tentatively opened his mouth, "Qi Yanning... no, Master Qi, could you..."

But his voice trailed off when he saw Qi Yanning's faint smile.

What had he done? If jealousy hadn't clouded his mind, he would've had the chance to learn alongside Qi Yanning.

Over time, Lin He had noticed that Qi Yanning was generous with his knowledge, teaching the styling assistants wholeheartedly and never hesitating to answer other stylists' questions.
