The Queen’s Rise to the Top

Chapter 271

Next, Nan XiangWan did not continue to sleep, because it was time for her favorite dinner session.

The four actresses came to the canteen together and grabbed a table with the actors across from them.

Feng Kai Ji had already left the military district. Things here didn't need him to keep an eye on anymore. He had to go to the crew to check props and facilities.

As soon as Nan XiangWan sat down at the table, Gu Beihuai next to her immediately pushed over a large bowl of rice.

The rice and dishes were already prepared for her.

Nan XiangWan lowered her head and started eating. The others chatted while eating.

Lan Tianyou came alive when he arrived at the military district. He was happy and eating more happily.

But at this moment, Sun Hui walked by from the side.

He glanced at the people at this table, his eyes lingering on Lan Tianyou.

Sun Hui: "Lan Tianyou!"

Lan Tianyou: "Yes sir!"

Sun Hui: "You've never learned how to stand at attention, have you?"

Lan Tianyou honestly replied: "No."

He came several days later than the others and missed a lot of training.

Sun Hui: "Can't stand still, can't sit properly! Go stand at attention after eating!"

Lan Tianyou: "Yes sir!"

So after dinner.

Lan Tianyou was taken away alone and brought to an open space to practice standing at attention. Sun Hui coached him at first. After he stood well, Sun Hui left, leaving Lan Tianyou alone to keep standing for three full hours.

It was summer and the sky darkened late.

At first Lan Tianyou had no reaction, earnestly standing straight.

But as the sky began to darken and he was alone...

Lan Tianyou panicked!

And more panicked!

Stand for three full hours?

He wanted to cry now!

No one knew how helpless Lan Tianyou was at this moment. Because after dinner, it was time for fun comparisons, and everyone had run off to watch.

The night Nan XiangWan returned to the military district, she participated in combat training that same evening.

Hehe!

She stood in the center, amidst the cheers of a large number of soldiers, and began picking her opponent.

One by one, come on!

Or all of you come at once!

Come on!

Let's fight!

Mantou stood in the surrounding circle watching, picking his teeth while watching.

Gu Beihuai stood next to him, smiling as he watched the little one defeat opponent after opponent.

Mantou: "Tsk tsk!"

Gu Beihuai's expression instantly soured: “What are you tsk-ing about?”

Mantou: "None of your business. Why can't I tsk?"

Gu Beihuai: “You’re so nosy!”

Mantou: “Humph! By the way, higher-ups are considering having Nan XiangWan start learning to fly fighter jets prematurely."

Gu Beihuai: "Isn’t it too early? She's not 18 years old yet or even gone to college."

Mantou: "Special talents get special arrangements. You don’t understand."

Gu Beihuai laughed: “Say I don’t understand again?”

Mantou: "Alright, you understand. How are your eyes?"

Gu Beihuai: "They're fine if I don't overuse them."

Mantou: "Read less brain-burning books. You just about recovered then relapsed again. You really worry me to death.”

Gu Beihuai didn't speak. By now Nan XiangWan had taken down three opponents, shouting arrogantly for the ‘next one’.

She really looked like...

the military district was her home!

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

Tan Shen was not completely blacklisted after all. Although the impact of the dog abuse video was huge, he was not abandoned by capital.

With extremely high acting skills, plus his sincere apology afterwards, the road to recovery gradually emerged.

That evening, Tan Shen had dinner with a certain crew director.

His assistant Xiao Chen came to pick him up.

At the door of the restaurant, the fat director had an oily face. He patted Tan Shen’s hand and laughed heartily.

Tan Shen also laughed. The two chatted happily.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Xiao Chen's eyes were very complicated.

This director had a terrible reputation in the industry. He was a lecher.

In the past, Tan Shen would never have worked with such a person.

But after the dog abuse incident, Tan Shen couldn’t be picky. He didn’t turn down anyone.

After saying goodbye to the director, Tan Shen got into the car.

He loosened his tie and took out a wet wipe to clean his hands.

That oily director had shaken his hand earlier and he was disgusted.

Xiao Chen drove in silence without saying a word.

Tan Shen felt a little uncomfortable and asked, “Where are you driving to?”

Xiao Chen was startled. “The villa?”

Tan Shen: “The apartment.”

Xiao Chen didn't speak and silently made a U-turn.

Ever since the video was exposed, Xiao Chen had been very silent and less enthusiastic about his work.

Whenever he looked at Tan Shen, his eyes were full of fear.

That stray dog didn’t die accidentally under Xiao Chen.

It was already dead!

But Tan Shen had framed him for it...

For a while, Xiao Chen couldn’t accept this, especially having to interact with Tan Shen every day. Tan Shen seemed unchanged, still so kind and amiable.

But the more he was like this, the scarier Xiao Chen felt!

Such a terrifying person.

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

At 9:30 p.m., Sun Hui came to the open space to check on Lan Tianyou's standing at attention.

At a glance, he was still there, standing straight.

It was just that face...

Why was it all cried up?

Lan Tianyou was really crying, frightened.

He had stood alone for a full three hours with pitch darkness all around.

Sun Hui: "Why are you crying?"

Lan Tianyou: "Wahhh Commander Sun!!!"

He cried and just wanted to hug someone.

Sun Hui dodged all at once, inexplicably looking at him.

It was just standing at attention. Why was he crying?!

Lan Tianyou cried on the spot for a while longer before going back to the dorm to sleep.

Sun Hui similarly returned to his own dorm and complained to Mantou that there really seemed to be something wrong with Lan Tianyou’s brain.

Mantou: "Oh, Gu Beihuai also complained to me about him today."

Sun Hui suddenly realized: "So he really doesn’t have a good brain. Got it for next time."

............

The next day, at 4 a.m.

The wake-up alarm blared!

Nan XiangWan crawled up all at once and looked out the window.

This night scene, this time.

Excited!

Flying today!

So Nan XiangWan rushed to wash up and 'whoosh' darted downstairs to assemble.

Waking up early meant flight preparation.

Who knew how long she had waited and looked forward to this!

This time the actors all assembled on time with no one late. Lan Tianyou was encountering such an early rise for the first time and was clueless.

Seeing everyone assembled, Sun Hui ordered them to eat quickly.

After eating, they’d rest a while before going to the airfield.

Nan XiangWan was exceptionally excited. She wolfed down her food and was actually the first one finished eating.

She was usually the first to start eating and last to finish.

But today, in order to fly, she was even willing to eat a little less breakfast.

After the meal, they assembled and headed to the airfield.

Fighter jets were parked in rows before their eyes. Ground crew on the ground started getting busy.

Of the 10 actors, 9 had missed the first flight training session. Lan Tianyou was still new. So all ten people were seeing this scene for the first time.

Their eyeballs instantly bulged in amazement. They marveled at the might of the motherland.

So awesome! So proud!

Sun Hui took the 10 actors and arranged for them to work at the ground crew’s posts.

Nan XiangWan was taken away alone and got into the rear cockpit with Mantou.
