The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 77

When the next group finished their performance, while Zhao Tiancheng was giving commentary at the chief director's table, the audience and barrage were already accustomed to it and not at all surprised that the Heavenly King had come and gone on a whim, even being a bit willful.

As for whether it had anything to do with Nan Xiangwan?

The fans would absolutely not admit it!

Neither side's fans would admit it!

Below on the stage.

The host Guan Liangzhe was looking over the script.

A few young girls behind him tugged at his clothes.

Guan Liangzhe turned around and saw a group of girls surrounding him, with quite a few having tears on their faces from the excitement.

"Mr. Host! Later when there's the encore, can you have our Wan Bao say a couple more sentences?"

"Handsome brother! Please? Please?"

Guan Liangzhe gave them a smile uglier than crying.

Again?

Fine, this wave of fans asking him were not the same ones as last time.

Guan Liangzhe was on the verge of a mental collapse!

He didn't want to interview Nan Xiangwan!

He was afraid she would burp!

At this time, a fan shoved a box of chocolates into Guan Liangzhe's arms.

"Handsome brother, eat chocolate! Later let our Wan Bao say a few more sentences, okay?"

"Please! Brother please!"

Guan Liangzhe was shocked!

They'd even learned to bribe?

Using chocolate to tempt him?

So he accepted the chocolates, and gave them an OK gesture.

"Thank you Mr. Host! Thank you Brother Zhang! Brother Zhang is so handsome!"

"Uh, his surname is Guan!"

"Sorry! Brother Guan! Brother Guan is so handsome!"

Guan Liangzhe:

Nan Xiangwan's fans are toxic!!!

Backstage in the waiting room.

Nan Xiangwan was eating bread and Coke.

Now the staff were all scared, and had strictly checked all the food and drink in the waiting rooms, preventing anything alcohol-related from appearing.

Nan Xiangwan happily drank her Coke.

Bread is so tasty!

Sure enough after getting off stage, you should replenish your energy.

The program staff are getting more and more thoughtful!

Her teammates were chatting happily nearby, having lost the fierce tribal aura from on stage, and turned back into little girls.

Nan Xiangwan listened to them chat while puffing out both cheeks, eating very happily.

In the hallway outside.

Jian Ya had been standing at the door the whole time, her gaze fixed unwaveringly on this waiting room.

She didn't knock on the door or look for anyone.

She had seen the stage performance.

She had also watched the online reaction, using a hidden phone to take videos in corners where the cameras couldn't reach.

She had also seen the argument between Monica and Jing Da Shuai.

Sure enough, Nan Xiangwan's styling this time was Monica's handiwork!

What's more, she had done it for Nan Xiangwan for free?

Jian Ya felt awful inside!

She vividly remembered the first time before going on stage, when she had been pushed into that luxurious dressing room by the company president, and Monica looked her up and down with scrutinizing eyes.

That "just this?" had left a deep impression on her.

The tone was full of disdain and annoyance.

Compared to Monica now willingly lowering her rates just to compete with Jing Da Shuai for someone, giving Nan Xiangwan free styling.

Jian Ya really couldn't accept it!

The strong contrast made this moment feel like her dignity was being trampled!

They were all people, so why the differential treatment?

Just because Nan Xiangwan had backing?

This stage was just a game of capital in the end!

If she also had such good background, if she was also a big boss of an entertainment company, she could also easily call upon top international stylists to do her styling anytime.

Jian Ya felt worse and worse!

Her inner imbalance had reached an extreme!

Just then.

After the final group's stage performance ended, the girls walked back to the waiting room giggling.

Passing by Jian Ya, one looked at her strangely.

"Jian Ya? What's wrong, do you not feel well?"

Jian Ya was startled, and hurriedly shook her head: "No, nothing."

"Oh, oh." The girl gave Jian Ya an odd look.

Then she turned back to continue chatting with her teammates.

"Nan Xiangwan's stage just now was amazing! Thank goodness we were the last group instead of the one right after her. I saw the eighth group go on stage and all five of them collapsed. Luck and looks determine everything - as long as you draw the first or last spot, never right before or after Nan Xiangwan's group. There's no comparison for how miserable the difference is!"

Jian Ya listened to their conversation, her complexion growing paler.

She was the one who performed right before Nan Xiangwan!

-----------------

On stage.

The ten group performances were over.

Host Guan Liangzhe went on stage, smiling: "It's time again to announce the votes - are you looking forward to it?"

Audience: "Looking forward to it!"

Guan Liangzhe: "Then let's take a look at the big screen!"

Swish

The camera turned.

The big screen immediately showed the data for the ten groups.

Onsite real name voting tally!

The other nine groups surged up to a certain height then stopped, while only the first group kept rising, higher and higher!

It finally stopped at two million votes!

Seeing this number, even Guan Liangzhe was shocked, and couldn't help asking: "The vote count isn't wrong, is it?"

Zhao Tiancheng took the mic: "It's correct, Nan Xiangwan's individual votes exceeded 1.5 million."

Audience:

"Ahhh!!!"

"Nan Xiangwan!"

"Nan Xiangwan!"

Amidst the cheers.

Guan Liangzhe was also fired up: "Let's welcome the return of the Lion Pride!"

The audience erupted in cheers again.

The term Lion Pride was used so perfectly!

It suited the girls in this stage performance so well!

The five went on stage and stood in a line.

Guan Liangzhe lightly coughed and asked: "Nan Xiangwan didn't drink this time, right?"

Hahaha!

The audience burst into laughter.

Nan Xiangwan had a bewildered expression, and tilted her head.

Below, the audience started shouting again.

Barrage:

"My god, Nan Xiangwan's head tilt kill!"

"Ahhh!!! Wan Bao!!!"

"Nan Xiangwan is a queen on stage, so cute off stage!"

"This head tilt will be the death of me!"

Guan Liangzhe handed the mic to Nan Xiangwan: "Here, sober you, greet everyone properly, be serious."

He had reminded her thoroughly, and also accepted the fans' chocolate.

Anyway he had to complete the task!

And Nan Xiangwan really hadn't spoken much over so many episodes of the show.

Nan Xiangwan nodded vigorously, and raised the mic: "Hello everyone! I'm Nan Xiangwan! A trainee from Hua Wan Entertainment! Senior three class three dunce from Xinghai High School in Gusu City! Preparing for the college entrance exam! Over!"

She said every word earnestly and loudly.

Stiffly like answering an officer's questioning.

The introduction was also very detailed, she used every bit of information she could give.

Yet the scene suddenly erupted into raucous laughter again.

The laughter was like a tidal wave!

Guan Liangzhe's smile froze, his expression management failed amidst the unpredictable circumstances!

In the end he swiftly took back Nan Xiangwan's mic!

He was truly about to go mad!

He had thought sober Nan Xiangwan would be normal.

How could he have known, she was even worse than when drunk!

Barrage:

"F*ck, let me smash a brick with one hand! Hahaha!"

"As expected of you, Nan Xiangwan!"

"Xinghai High School Senior Three Class Three dunce Nan Xiangwan! Hahahaha!"

"Preparing for the college entrance exam! Over!"

"Everyone remember this 'over'!"

"This 'over' is the essence, hahahaha!"

"I'm dying of laughter!"

"This Nan Xiangwan is truly a gem, hahaha!"

"Over comes from rejected military school candidates' final struggle!"

"I can't, my stomach hurts from laughing!"
