The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 69

On the internet, Nan XiangWan treating the entire MV crew to dinner was still brewing.

Although it didn't become a hot search topic, those who paid attention could see it, especially industry insiders. Many took notice!

The fans, who followed any lively news about Nan XiangWan, also came over to watch. As long as there was something exciting happening with Nan XiangWan, her fans would be there.

But this time, the fans were unexpectedly quiet.

[Nan XiangWan Fan Group Chat (3)]:

Oh, Nan XiangWan filmed an MV for Gu TianWang.

I saw it. A crew member posted on Weibo that Sister Nan treated everyone on the team to dinner and shared photos. The food looked great!

Is our Sister Nan trying to improve her reputation among industry insiders?

What do you all think about this?

To be honest, this doesn't seem like something my hardcore tomboy Sister Nan would do.

Same here. That's why I didn't dare to comment at first. It felt fake!

I knew something was off! If that silly Nan could think of treating the crew to dinner to gain favor with industry insiders, I'll cut my head off for you all to kick around!

Group Admin: It's been confirmed to be real, but it does seem out of character for Sister Nan. She must have had guidance from someone with experience.

So what should we do?

Gently hype it up?

Let's gently hype it, not make a big fuss!

Group Admin: The veteran fans have a plan. Single account fans go comment and like. Double account fans standby!

We're a single account group. I'm going!

Roger that!

Group Admin: Also, Sister Nan's career is on the rise lately. Too many people are joining the fan groups each day. We've divided into several groups.

Group Admin: The veteran fans discussed and decided to increase requirements to join the fan groups. Many celebrities gain lots of fans during their rise, but neglect management and eventually fade away. We must be careful!

Fan Manager 1 received!

Fan Manager 2 received!

Understood! We'll be sensible fans and not cause Nan XiangWan any trouble!

Ji Mansion Apartment, Room 2201

Gu Beihuai walked out of the bathroom with wet hair dripping onto his forehead.

In one hand he held his phone, in the other he casually wrapped a towel around his head.

On Weibo, the topic【Nan XiangWan Treats Crew to Dinner】was slowly rising, though not near the top rankings yet.

Gu Beihuai smiled.

The little wolf cub's fans were becoming more and more sensible.

This matter didn't warrant loud hype. A small reaction would suffice.

More importantly, it needed to be seen by industry insiders.

After drying his hair, Gu Beihuai casually threw the towel in the laundry hamper.

Lying on the sofa, he browsed the comments and likes.

He realized he was paying too much attention to Nan XiangWan, especially after today. He wanted to help push this newcomer forward in any way he could.

He was already at the peak with no room left to climb. All that remained was playing money games.

Nan XiangWan's sudden appearance sparked Gu Beihuai's interest and love for new talent!

Finally, fresh blood in the entertainment industry.

As a senior, it was nothing to quietly help a bit.

He simply ordered dinner from a small restaurant to be delivered. The crew's mood improved, and Nan XiangWan got some good publicity.

As for himself, he just felt this little wolf cub had a promising future.

Buzz buzz.

A WeChat message came in.

Jie Chou: Wtf! Why is it so hard to join Nan XiangWan's fan groups? I've been rejected 3 times!

Jie Chou: Damn it! They said I don't meet the fan criteria? How do I not meet it!

Jie Chou: This is so frustrating! One group admin even said I'm too old and seem like an infiltrator. F*ck!

Gu Beihuai: You need 10 consecutive days of reposting and actively commenting on and liking Nan XiangWan's posts to build up data.

Jie Chou: How do you know so clearly?

Gu Beihuai: You're old. Don't you read the rules?

Jie Chou:

Gu Beihuai put down his phone.

On the screen, a group name "Nan XiangWan's Core Fan Group" stood out.

Messages continuously popped up inside. This small group of only 20+ people were all the leaders of the various sub-groups.

All videos and information would first reach this core group, discussed by the leaders, and a strategy decided before being passed down to the sub-groups for the fans to act.

Whether for promotion, anti-hate, or cheering on, the fans strived to react as quickly as possible to avoid Nan XiangWan being put in a passive position.

This system was originally a passing suggestion from Gu Beihuai to better and strictly manage the fans.

Mainly because the fans were too chaotic in the beginning, and the star herself wasn't even present yet.

He didn't expect the fans to hail it as a heavenly idea and immediately appoint him leader of the core fan group!

And so, Gu Beihuai was forced to become an idol chaser.

The fan boss!

6 AM in the morning.

Nan XiangWan opened her eyes on time, got up, and went to the practice room.

The daily devilish training started again!

She turned on the livestream and lots of people poured in.

Comments:

Here we are! Got up early just to watch Nan XiangWan's amazing personal training!

When's the one-finger pushup happening? Let me set an alarm.

Around 8. But the training before that is awesome too. Why not stay and watch?

How long has Nan XiangWan kept up this training regimen?

She was filming an MV yesterday and missed it. But before that, 20 days straight without break!

Damn, doing it a couple times is showing off, but 20 days of this level of training as a daily routine? That's the real deal!

Kids trying for military school have it so hard! Salute to the soldier brothers and sisters!

Hey everyone, don't get too excited. Don't be too shocked. This is just everyday training for Sister Nan who didn't get into military school. Shameless plug for [Brick Breaking Barehanded].gf!

Haha Nan XiangWan's fans are so funny!

Newcomers up front, want to join our fan legion? No regrets!

Crazy promotion for [Wolf King Rips Clothes].gf [Tsundere Gentleman].gf!

9:20 AM.

After eating breakfast and showering, Nan XiangWan wandered lazily to the tiered stage.

Initially, the small stage sat 100 trainees tightly squeezed together. Now only half the seats were filled.

Just 50 trainees remained.

The sense of urgency between them grew stronger!

Under everyone's gaze, Nan XiangWan strode up the tiers and sat in the top position.

She liked sitting up high, looking down on the trash below!

And so, Nan XiangWan sat up straight, her expression even more stern and dignified.

For a moment, it was as if she were a flag-bearing soldier at a flag-raising ceremony, her red scarf fluttering in the wind!

Zhu Sha slowly looked away, suppressing this inexplicable thought.

She felt like she was being led astray by Nan XiangWan, her mind occasionally spazzing out!

Ge Dongxuan blatantly stared at Nan XiangWan, mumbling something under her breath.

Deng Si Nan beside her heard it. Her expression went from bewildered, to eyebrows raised high, to finally numb and unfeeling.

Because Ge Dongxuan kept repeating Nan XiangWan pick me Nan XiangWan pick me Nan XiangWan pick me.

Like some kind of chant!
