The Queen’s Rise to the Top

Chapter 109

Gu Beihuai was driving a top-of-the-line GMC luxury van, silently.

Nan Xiangwan was looking at the comments after posting a Weibo update. She found netizens were really interesting, sending all kinds of emojis relentlessly.

Nan Xiangwan casually saved some of them for herself to use later!

Cheng Xue was sitting in the passenger seat with a less than cheerful expression the whole time.

Finally, after holding it in the entire drive, right before they were about to board the ship, Cheng Xue couldn't hold it anymore.

Looking at Nan Xiangwan sitting leisurely in the back VIP seat, Cheng Xue said: "Boss Nan, I have something to say."

Nan Xiangwan looked up: "Go ahead."

Cheng Xue took a deep breath: "Gu Beihuai is a celebrity from our rival company South-North Entertainment. Hua Wan Entertainment and South-North Entertainment are mortal enemies in the entertainment industry!"

Nan Xiangwan nodded understandingly: "Competition? Can we win against them?"

Cheng Xue: "It's about seventy-thirty, they are very strong and we can't compete with them for most resources. Currently under this environment South-North Entertainment is the industry leader!"

Nan Xiangwan: "Oh I see, the talent show I participated in was also invested by South-North Entertainment right?"

When it came to business, she cared a lot.

After all, this concerned her earnings.

Cheng Xue: "Yes, that show was a huge hit, and South-North Entertainment made a fortune! Tsk! But it was all thanks to your popularity!"

The disparity was obvious.

Talking about this, Cheng Xue and Shao Fu were very frustrated and disgruntled!

Nan Xiangwan stroked her chin, deep in thought.

Cheng Xue: "Boss Nan, Gu Beihuai this person... although his public image is good, those of us deep in the industry all know, he is ruthless and arrogant, scheming and calculating, very hard to deal with! If you are not careful, you'd fall into his traps and then be consumed by him!"

Cheng Xue was truly worried.

Aside from Gu Beihuai's formidable musical talent, he was also an absolute businessman!

Hearing this, Nan Xiangwan was suddenly lost in thought.

Ruthless and arrogant? Scheming and calculating? Setting traps and then consuming enemies?

This sounded so much like her military strategist!

Her strategist would help set traps and then conquer enemies.

Wasn't that her and her strategist's tactics against enemy forces?

No matter how many enemies she, Nan Xiangwan, faced, the end result was always annihilation!

Back when she first made a name for herself on the battlefield, she had extraordinary talents with profound cultivation and astounding capabilities.

Yet for a good few years she was stuck at a low military rank.

She had no issues slaying enemies on the battlefield, but lacked the means to get promoted.

Not until she met her deputy strategist.

He assisted her all the way, from Second Lieutenant to Major General, and finally Empire Major General!

Her troops were united because of her.

But her titles were gained because of her strategist.

The Empire's first female general, striking fear at the mere mention of her name!

Her formidable strategist was the shadow behind the scenes!

Nan Xiangwan also learned a lot from her strategist, though she didn't get to learn it thoroughly before coming to this world.

What a pity!

If she had a bit more time, she could have replicated her strategist's brilliance!

Cheng Xue continued: "Boss Nan, we most likely can't beat Gu Beihuai, but we have to be vigilant! We can't let him lead us by the nose!"

Hearing this, Nan Xiangwan nodded: "You have a point."

Cheng Xue was thrilled to hear her words. Boss Nan wasn't brainless, Boss Nan understood!

So Cheng Xue continued earnestly: "Gu Beihuai is definitely not a good person, stay away from him!"

Nan Xiangwan: "But he saved me."

Yesterday from that wild boar.

Nan Xiangwan knew she stood no chance against it. If not for Gu Beihuai pushing her away at the critical moment, with her current combat skills, even light injury would have been lucky.

Moreover, she was unarmed then.

Gu Beihuai held no malice towards her.

Nan Xiangwan could sense it clearly!

Therefore, she could only accept half of what Cheng Xue said.

Cheng Xue was immediately rendered speechless, unable to utter another word.

No matter what kind of person Gu Beihuai was, no matter what frightening things he had done before, at the most critical moment yesterday,

he had saved Nan Xiangwan's life!

That was...

Invincible!

Nan Xiangwan lowered her head to continue browsing Weibo.

The three of them had all posted photos, but Huang Shi posted the most, a photo grid of nine.

Aside from group shots, there were also various candid snaps, taken quite well.

Both fans were exclaiming at the visual feast!

Nan Xiangwan only posted a group shot of the three. Her fans weren't normal people either, the comments were flooded with emojis.

As for Gu Beihuai.

He didn't post the photos Huang Shi gave him, but rather one he took himself.

The photo showed the Border Collie Puppy and alpaca Bai Bai.

The comments below were all gushing over the cuteness.

【Nan Wang Bei Di CP Group】

'[Photo] What do you guys think of Gu Beihuai's post?'

'Pfft! An old man's mind is so scheming! Zoom in on the photo, see for yourselves whose shadows those are!'

'I see! Enough Gu Beihuai! I thought he posted just the two cute animals, but the point is actually these shadows huh?'

'Oh my! Gu Beihuai and Nan Xiangwan's shadows, sitting together, tsk tsk!'

'An indirect way to post a photo together? I'm dead!'

'Flashback to the Survival Show: [Photo] [Photo]'

'Flashback to the Survival Show: Stolen pics from Gu Beihuai fans.'

The two photos were screenshots from the Cooking Show, in high definition.

One showed Gu Beihuai gazing ahead wearing gold rimmed glasses. One showed Gu Beihuai taking off his glasses with one hand, revealing his exquisite features as he leaned forward to take something.

In short, both pictures were captured perfectly!

Gu Beihuai's career fans sure were veterans, formidable.

Not only were there no other people in the photos, Gu Beihuai's handsome-to-illegal face was highlighted.

The two pictures screamed one message: Brother is handsome!

However!

Those who watched the show knew, Gu Beihuai's gaze was fixed on Nan Xiangwan. And he leaned forward because of Nan Xiangwan too.

The CP group members all had discerning eyes. They started teasing.

'His fans are all praising brother for being handsome! Brother looks killer in glasses! Brother has great fashion taste! Am I the only one who feels he's like a peacock flaunting its feathers?'

'Peacock spreading its tail is so accurate! Gu Beihuai is just oozing a mating call!'

'Old men are so flirtatious! Feels like Gu Beihuai wants to striptease for Nan Xiangwan!'

'I'm convinced this guy's every move is meant to seduce!

'Totally! When has Gu Beihuai ever been this flirtatious? He's blatantly seducing Nan Xiangwan!'

'Flashback to Survival Show: I feel it's seduction too, giggles! Hahaha!'

'Hahahaha!'

'My smile is turning wretched, I'm already imagining it!'

'Whoa stop! Nan Xiangwan is only 17! Hahaha!'

'Flashback to Survival Show: Ahem, don't go overboard, just keep it in your minds, don't say it aloud.'

'Got it, got it, but Nan Xiangwan is reaching adulthood in a few months right? I'm already anxious for Gu Beihuai!'

'Flashback to Survival Show: Nan Xiangwan's birthday is August 22nd, still over 4 months until she's an adult.'

'Waiting!'

'Waiting!'
