The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 31

Nanbei Entertainment.

In the spacious rest area, Gu Beihuai had already gotten his makeup done and was ready to go to the live show.

Beside him, Zhao Tiancheng and Lang Hu had their heads down with awkward expressions.

They tried to poach someone but never succeeded against Hua Wan Entertainment!

But oddly, Hua Wan Entertainment did not announce signing Nan Xiangwan.

Could it be they wanted to create a social media blast during the show?

From a manager's perspective, that must be it!

Gu Beihuai glanced at the two: The boss of Hua Wan Entertainment is called Shao Fu right? A fat dude.

Zhao Tiancheng's mouth twitched: Boss Shao has a similar build to me, can't call him fat can you?

Gu Beihuai: Give him a call and ask about the situation.

Zhao Tiancheng immediately took out his phone and dialed Shao Fu.

Soon, the call connected.

Shao Fu's voice on the other end was a bit noisy: Yo, Zhao! You actually have time to call me, don't tell me you wanna go drinking?

Zhao Tiancheng: Let's skip the pleasantries. Shao, can you give me the lowdown, did you guys at Hua Wan sign Nan Xiangwan?

Shao Fu: Nan Xiangwan? No comment!

With that, he hung up with a snap.

And even blocked Zhao Tiancheng!

Asking about his boss' business?

No way!

The veins on Zhao Tiancheng's forehead bulged as he tried redialing unsuccessfully.

He looked at Gu Beihuai with sweat on his forehead: Boss Gu, you see?

Gu Beihuai gestured and got up to leave the rest area.

Zhao Tiancheng and Lang Hu both heaved a sigh of relief, exchanging knowing glances at the shock in each other's eyes.

The Boss was clearly angry!

Not getting Nan Xiangwan was worth getting this mad over?

Lang Hu started packing up: I'm heading out first, I need to be at the recording venue otherwise Teacher Gu wouldn't give those media people any face!

Zhao Tiancheng: Go on, I'll keep watch here.

Lang Hu patted his shoulder: Don't overthink it, Teacher Gu just saw potential in Nan Xiangwan as a good prospect. Hua Wan Entertainment has always been our rival, they must have caught wind of something!

Zhao Tiancheng: I saw Teacher Gu's face, cold like someone stole his wife!

Lang Hu jumped in fright, quickly stopping him: Watch what you say!

Zhao Tiancheng hurriedly slapped himself: Slip of the tongue! I meant Teacher Gu looked like he lost several billion!

Lang Hu had an intriguing expression: Nan Xiangwan's commercial value might really be worth billions.

Zhao Tiancheng covered his chest: Don't say anymore, you're making me feel worse.

Lang Hu: I feel bad too, I'm off, see you later.

Zhao Tiancheng waved as he walked into another rest area.

Here, stylist Monica had already been waiting for a while.

She was just about out of patience!

Seeing Zhao Tiancheng enter, Monica immediately stood up aggressively.

Where's the person? Making me wait this long?!

Zhao Tiancheng was sweating bullets.

Monica was not an easy person to please, she only came as a favor for Gu Beihuai!

Originally with Nan Xiangwan slipping away, letting Monica style Gu Beihuai would have been fine.

But Gu Beihuai had a quirk where he didn't let the opposite sex touch him, whether it was makeup artists or stylists!

So

Monica had been waiting for half a day!

Wait a moment. He thought for a bit before deciding to bring over a South North Entertainment trainee.

Might as well not let her come for nothing since she was paid already right?

Soon, the lucky Jian Ya was pushed into the room.

She was halfway through getting her makeup done and was forcibly pulled over to this rest area.

She was still confused!

Monica had a nasty temper, looking disdainfully at the trainee in front of her: This is it?

Zhao Tiancheng was very embarrassed.

But eventually, Monica still worked on styling Jian Ya.

Just that she didn't have much inspiration, simply continuing the unfinished styling from earlier.

But even so, it still sharply raised Jian Ya's fashion sense by a whole dimension!

Jian Ya was nearly fainting from happiness that she was so fortunate to have a fashion icon like Monica personally style her!

Compared to the other trainees' looks, it was like heaven and earth!

When she went on stage later, as soon as she appeared on screen.

Jian Ya believed she would be the brightest star!

Gu Beihuai sat in the car, looking at the messages on his phone.

The chat history showed a message half an hour ago.

Gu Beihuai: Look into who the real boss behind Hua Wan Entertainment is.

The message was sent half an hour ago with no response yet.

Gu Beihuai's thinking was simple. Since Zhao Tiancheng couldn't get anything concrete.

Go after the money!

He would sign Nan Xiangwan for South North Entertainment!

The people he Gu Beihuai had his eyes on, no one could snatch!

Beside him, Lang Hu fidgeted, unsure whether to speak up.

The atmosphere in the car was too oppressive!

Lang Hu was sweating bullets from discomfort!

Right then.

Buzz

Gu Beihuai's phone vibrated with an incoming message!

Nan Xiangwan

Just three words.

Gu Beihuai's breathing hitched, his pupils dilating for an instant.

But he soon regained composure.

Only the slight furrow between his brows showed his complicated mood.

The real boss behind Hua Wan Entertainment was Nan Xiangwan???

At this point, Lang Hu really couldn't take it anymore. He tentatively spoke up: Boss Gu, don't worry, even if I have to spend money, I've decided I will snatch Nan Xiangwan to prevent Hua Wan Entertainment from having any chance!

Gu Beihuai gave his manager a look but didn't respond.

Lang Hu continued: Give me two days, let me dig up some dirt on Hua Wan Entertainment, then we can negotiate terms.

Gu Beihuai still didn't make a sound, his thoughts going back to just now.

The people he Gu Beihuai had his eyes on, no one could snatch.

Unless she herself

Lang Hu was still yammering on with endless guarantees.

Gu Beihuai interrupted: No need.

Lang Hu: I definitely...Huh? What? 𝖋𝖗𝖊𝖊𝖜𝔢𝔟𝖓𝖔𝔳𝔢𝔩.𝔠𝖔𝔪

Gu Beihuai: We can't beat Hua Wan Entertainment.

Lang Hu panicked: Boss Gu! Boss Gu! I

Gu Beihuai: Don't blame yourself.

Competing with Hua Wan Entertainment for Nan Xiangwan is like competing with South North Entertainment for Gu Beihuai.

How could it work?

Why would a boss go be a celebrity at another company?

But Gu Beihuai's reassurance only made Lang Hu feel worse.

He kept his head low, feeling utterly useless!

They didn't get the person, yet Boss was comforting him instead?

When was Boss ever this passive?

He must have made things difficult for Boss.

Gu Beihuai went on: Just brief me on the key points of the program schedule.

Lang Hu: Okay, got it.

Hua Wan Entertainment.

2:30pm, half an hour until the live show.

The six people in Yu Jingting's rest area were fully styled up and headed by car to the recording venue of the show.

The livestream would also open on time in half an hour!

Boarding the vehicle, the other trainees were still somewhat concerned.

Yu Jingting, are you sure we don't need to wait for Zhu Sha?

Speaking of which, where did Zhu Sha go?

Yu Jingting sneered: Wait for her? Worry about yourselves!
