The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 404

After all the singers had finished performing, the encore section began.

Guan Liangzhe was in the limelight on stage, saying flirtatious words that caused waves of barrage screenshots in the live stream room.

This host is so interesting!

The front row audience below unanimously raised their phones, intending to take photos.

Just like that, under the expectant eyes of the crowd, Nan XiangWan appeared in casual clothes, her waist-length hair casually tied in a ponytail behind her head.

The front row audience was stunned!

Where's the dress? The crown? The runaway princess?

Slap! Illusion shattered!

Not only did Nan XiangWan appear in different clothes, she also sauntered up with both hands in her pockets, swaying up to the stage, then stood with legs shoulder width apart in a drill instructor stance.

Jie Chou was speechless on the spot and grumbled as he put away his phone.

He had held it up for so long in vain!

Wasn't it tiring? Weren't his hands sore?

The others also had less than good expressions. This was the first time they had seen a star care so little about her image.

Other people hated not being able to stay in full costume and pose in front of the camera for the whole thing, but she was fine with changing right after she finished singing.

That beautiful dress, wouldn't it kill her to wear it a little longer?

The livestream audience was also discussing Nan XiangWan's outfit, though it was consistent with her style since she didn't like wearing skirts and they were inconvenient for brick smashing.

At this time Guan Liangzhe was still hyping up the crowd. He held the microphone to Nan XiangWan's mouth, "Come on, Nan XiangWan, tell us about your feelings recording so many episodes."

Nan XiangWan: "Do you want me to give some thanks?"

She was a little nervous. How did Ge Dongxuan say it last time? She had forgotten!

Guan Liangzhe's face darkened. "No, let's just chat normally. 8 episodes have passed, most of the process is over, it's time to prepare for the final sprint. Are you ready for the last song?"

Nan XiangWan answered honestly: "I haven't started writing yet."

Guan Liangzhe: "A new song?"

Nan XiangWan: "I don't have any other songs, I can't just sing my songs from Tianming right?"

Guan Liangzhe: "That's not a bad idea either, I believe everyone here really wants to hear them."

Nan XiangWan: "No one is here to accompany me on them."

Guan Liangzhe laughed. "What about Prince? Didn't you invite him to be resident singer?"

Nan XiangWan: "Girl's songs, he can't do them. I'll just write another new one."

Guan Liangzhe looked at the camera. "Did you hear that, audience friends? Nan XiangWan is going to release a new song! Are you looking forward to it or not?"

Jie Chou immediately jumped up. "Looking forward to it! Ah ah!"

The camera obligingly swept over to give him a close up.

Barrage——

: New song! New song is coming!

: She just released Will of Heaven not long ago, is Nan XiangWan releasing a single already? I love this pace!

: XiangWan is in her rising period, she works hard too! If she doesn't succeed heaven's law won't allow it!

: Cough! Am I the only one who noticed XiangWan looks down on Prince's male voice? Hahaha!

...

The system prompt sounded together with the ranking announcement, a crisp sound in Nan XiangWan's mind.

【Ding!】

【Completed mission: Protect】

【Congratulations host for ranking first in the eighth episode of The Singer!】

【Reward: one pair transparent LED electronic glasses】

【Note: These conceptual glasses have no sales record and will be specially delivered to the host by a top global logistics company】

Nan XiangWan: "???"

What is this thing? Concept glasses?

【Concept glasses can automatically adjust light, degree, astigmatism... according to the wearer】

What are they for, she's not nearsighted!

【Concept glasses can connect to the network, have VR capabilities, holographic viewing, and are completely transparent so they do not affect other activities while wearing】

Nan XiangWan continued: "???"

She didn't understand.

The dog seemed too lazy to explain further either.

She didn't expect Nan XiangWan to understand such high tech stuff anyway.

Guan Liangzhe was still enthusiastically saying something on stage, with colored flowers floating down from overhead, landing in a glittering shower on the stage.

The people around were applauding, celebrating the perfect conclusion of this episode.

Guan Liangzhe: "See you all next week!"

The livestream closed and everyone started leaving the venue.

Yang Rongjun was the first to get off stage, probably hurrying to go smoke a cigarette.

Guan Liangzhe hurried to catch up. "Teacher Yang, Teacher Yang, let's walk together."

Yang Rongjun: "Do you want one too?"

Guan Liangzhe: "I don't smoke Teacher Yang, just watching you is good."

Yang Rongjun leaned in mysteriously. "Do you know? Those tomb raiders and corpse handlers all smoke. Do you know why?"

Guan Liangzhe gulped. "Why?"

Yang Rongjun laughed. "Open flame, drives away ghosts."

Guan Liangzhe: "Teacher Yang! Give me one! No, ten!"

Just then Nan XiangWan happened to walk by and said, "Nonsense, ghosts don't fear fire, otherwise what are ghost lights?"

Yang Rongjun stamped his feet anxiously. "You kid!"

Jie Chou was about to leave after the event, but couldn't help running over when he heard their conversation. "You have to believe in science, there are no such things as ghosts in this world. Also, ghost lights are phosphorus elements in the human body exposed to air undergoing a series of chemical reactions, a kind of spontaneous combustion phenomenon, they are actually phosphor lights."

Guan Liangzhe: "......"

The conversation was getting more and more off track!

But in the end Guan Liangzhe still went with Yang Rongjun to smoke a cigarette. Old baby was especially happy to have company being bad.

After leaving, Nan XiangWan got in the car where Xiao Dong was already waiting in the GMC luxury van at the door.

Jie Chou also came out, embarrassed to ask, "Boss Nan, can you give me a ride?"

The show had just ended, the entrance was crowded with people and cars taking up half the road, very difficult to get a taxi.

Nan XiangWan gave up the seat in the back near the door. "Get in!"

Jie Chou: "Great!"

Then he opened the door and got in the passenger seat.

Xiao Dong: "???"

Nan XiangWan was also surprised. Normally she and Gu Beihuai sat in the rear business seats, no one had really sat in Xiao Dong's passenger seat before.

Jie Chou didn't think anything of it. After getting in the car he buckled his seatbelt, "Trouble you Xiao Dong, to the police station, it's not far just nearby."

Nan XiangWan: "Working so late?"

Jie Chou: "Mm, I just got notice to return for overtime."

Nan XiangWan: "Police comrade, your work is tiring."

Jie Chou: "PLA comrade, your work is also tiring."

Xiao Dong was totally confused, what the heck?

Nevermind, she didn't understand so she wouldn't worry about it. She stepped on the gas and ten-something minutes later dropped Jie Chou off at his destination.

After getting out of the car Jie Chou waved, then jogged inside.

Xiao Dong watched his retreating back and said to Nan XiangWan, "Brother Jie Chou is really a rational fan. Boss Nan, every time you are on stage, he gets so excited he looks like he'll faint, but every time right after you finish singing he goes back to normal."

Xiao Dong said ordinary fans really couldn't do that.

Nan XiangWan looked over. "You're the same way."

Xiao Dong: "Hm?"

Nan XiangWan lowered her head without elaborating further. Xiao Dong's phone was full of her photos and emojis, and had saved various stage videos.

Once when Xiao Dong lowered her head to look at her phone, Nan XiangWan had inadvertently caught a glimpse.

She was convinced on the spot!

Xiao Dong was either doing data or promotions when busy, no less busy than the brick smashing team.

She had simply plastered the words brick smasher on her forehead!

But in normal interactions, it wasn't apparent that Xiao Dong was so enthusiastic.

Just like Jie Chou.
