The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 410

At this time, the seven people were completely unaware of the heated discussion online. Time was approaching 7pm, and they were about to go on stage!

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely excited. It started with an explosive opening with "Wilderness", blowing the fans into a frenzy.

Of course, the fans at the scene didn't know about the situation online. With the real people in front of them, who would go online? They were busy taking pictures, shooting videos, and shaking hands with their idols!

While the concert was in full swing, the online storm was also intensifying.

[South-North Entertainment] was already doing emergency PR, while desperately trying to contact [Zhao Tiancheng].

But [Zhao Tiancheng] hadn't looked at his phone at this time. He was focused on monitoring every detail of the concert - safety issues, sound effects, whether the seven girls were tired... He even went up personally to help steady them every time they got on and off stage.

[Zhao Tiancheng] was busy!

Unable to reach the principal, [South-North Entertainment]'s PR team was in a panic.

Then they hurriedly contacted another influential figure, [Lang Hu]. After all, he was a gold medal broker, although [Destiny Girls] was not under his charge. But he and [Zhao Tiancheng] were close.

However, at this moment [Lang Hu] was looking at houses with [Cheng Xue], and could not be reached either.

And so, [South-North Entertainment]'s PR team was at a complete loss!

They couldn't get ahold of anyone, and didn't know what to write for PR!

[Gu Beihuai] also didn't know about the situation. His phone had been confiscated by [Gong Jin], and was set to silent.

But he was watching the concert through networked augmented reality glasses.

As he watched, he couldn't help feeling annoyed!

Beside him, [Gong Jin] ruthlessly mocked him, "If you're that upset, take them off! Give them to me."

[Gu Beihuai]: "You're very noisy."

[Gong Jin]: "Humph!"

Not wanting to argue with the irritated fox, [Gong Jin] took out his phone to browse Weibo instead.

Over the past few days he had finally discovered the purpose of Weibo - to receive all kinds of useless information and bring gossip-loving crowds together.

Browsing through this stuff in his free time was quite interesting.

But as soon as he opened the app, he saw the explosively trending "[Nan Xiangwan] Openly Soliciting [Destiny Girls] Members to be Prostitutes" incident!

[Gong Jin]'s eyes hardened as he glanced at [Gu Beihuai].

[Gu Beihuai] glanced back at him. "What?"

[Gong Jin] handed his phone over. "Take a look."

[Gu Beihuai] took it and read it, stunned into silence.

The media reports were extremely serious. After watching [Ge Dongxuan]'s original video and listening to [Nan Xiangwan]'s conversation with her teammates, the room fell dead quiet as the two men stared at each other wordlessly.

After a long time...

[Gong Jin]: "Pfft! Hahaha! This is going to kill me! What the heck kind of silly conversation is this?"

He didn't believe for a second that [Nan Xiangwan] had openly solicited prostitution.

Others might not know this girl's identity, but the few people around [Gu Beihuai] did. They were all high-ranking military officers, the kind whose ranks would scare people to death if revealed.

[Gong Jin] had a copy of [Nan Xiangwan]'s file, though it wasn't comprehensive. But he knew very clearly that this girl was affiliated with the [Lingshan Military Region], and had an outstanding combat record of single-handedly killing three armed members of overseas hostile forces.

As for this girl's subsequent development and the arrangements made for her by her superiors, that was classified information that [Gong Jin] didn't know.

A person like this, soliciting prostitution?

Hahaha!

[Gu Beihuai] was also speechless, but he didn't make any subsequent moves or intend for [South-North Entertainment] to clarify things.

Public relations? Unnecessary!

The principal was busy with her concert. They should wait until [Nan Xiangwan] finished her two hour performance to see what this so-called "prostitute" actually looked like.

...

While the concert was underway, the oblivious seven naturally continued performing very professionally, singing with all their might and working up a huge sweat.

For the final song "RainCat", the crystal piano was wheeled up on stage.

The audience in the capital went crazy with delight!

After the scratching incident in Shanghai, the piano had been put away and fans thought they'd never see it again. Who would've expected it to reappear so soon, looking as good as new just like in a fairy tale!

The audience sang along for the final number about a rain encounter with a cat, bringing the first Beijing show and the [Destiny Girls] tour to a perfect conclusion.

The fans left full of anticipation, because [Zhao Tiancheng] had revealed during the finale that a new album would be released by the end of the year!

Since it was already late August, it would be soon!

[Destiny Girls] were always hard at work keeping fans happy.

After getting off stage, [Nan Xiangwan] immediately ran over to her duck.

The other members also gathered together. They were all exhausted after the concert, hungry and thirsty.

[Zhou Wenxia]: "Ah Wan, you were so wise to order ducks early."

The box of 7 roast duck orders had arrived. The sauce and pancakes were all laid out on the table. The 7 girls sat in a circle and started eating.

[Nan Xiangwan] was eating very happily, almost feeling that it wasn't enough!

Halfway through her meal, [Ge Dongxuan] started checking her phone, only to discover that her Weibo had blown up.

Taking a closer look, damn, the criticism was fiercely vicious. If you didn't know better you'd think she had committed some heinous, unforgivable crime!

Glancing through the trending topics... ducks?

[Ge Dongxuan] looked at her teammates who were still eating, then at the roast duck on the table...

She was furious on the spot!

Grass!

Criticizing her? Attacking her teammates?

She quickly snapped some pictures and fired back a Weibo post - they had ordered roast duck takeout! One duck per person!

Was that worth the antis unleashing such a storm over?

They really had nothing better to do!

[Zhu Sha] looked over. "Xuan Bao, what's wrong? You look pissed."

[Yun Qian] was also holding her phone: "Wow, I need to post photos too to clarify... No, fight back against those Sand Keyboard Warriors!"

[Deng Si Nan]: "What happened? Let me see."

The girls quickly went online to check. All 7 members of [Destiny Girls] had been slammed by varying degrees of cyberbullying and attack.

Some people even vividly fabricated details, claiming the girls had each taken a duck back to their hotel rooms after the concert ended.

As soon as [Ge Dongxuan]'s photos came out, it pulled public opinion back a bit.

But having already been the eye of the storm for 2 hours, the antis wouldn't care about truth and facts. Their only goal was to erase [Destiny Girls]!

After polishing off 3 servings, [Nan Xiangwan] was finally half full.

She kept eating the bones and other leftovers, as well as the side dishes. As she ate, she noticed her teammates had stopped eating and were all furiously typing on their phones.

[Nan Xiangwan]: "???"

Were the roast ducks not tasty enough or was the soup not good?

[Zhao Tiancheng] was on the phone getting the details of what happened. Unable to believe it, he turned and looked at the unfinished roast ducks still on the table, gaze lingering for 3 seconds.

He then explained the true situation to [South-North Entertainment]'s PR team - they had ordered roast duck takeout! He asked them to take photos and shoot video as proof.

But deep down, [Zhao Tiancheng] was speechless. He truly didn't understand what there even was to clarify here.

Did this need clarifying?

Did the antis not have brains?

Oh right, the goal of antis was not facts or intelligence.

[Destiny Girls] only managed to fend off the attacks after releasing the photos and videos, proving they had just ordered roast duck takeout. 6 of the 7 members posted photos in response. [Destiny Girls] official Weibo also released a video directly explaining the truth.

In the video, the expressions of 6 girls were not looking too happy - they were clearly angry.

Only [Nan Xiangwan] continued eating with great relish!
