The Queen’s Rise to the Top

Chapter 34

Group 14 leaving the stage.

Before they even got off the stage walkway, an argument erupted!

Yu Jingting grabbed Xi BaiWei's hair: "You cheap dog! How dare you compete with me! And stealing my chances to speak, now I've lost all opportunity to speak!"

She angrily pulled Xi BaiWei's hair over and over, wishing she could rip her scalp right off!

Xi Baiwei was already very provoked by Gu Beihuai's cold attitude on stage. Now off stage she was getting her hair pulled and slapped by a berserk Yu Jingting.

She broke down right there!

Shouting loudly: "Director! The director told me to do it!!"

She clearly remembered that the person who had come to inform her that Gu Beihuai would be coming was the director himself!

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so brazen, right?

But at this moment backstage, the director Hua Yuanwu's face was expressionless:

Staff member: "Director, Yu Jingting and Xi BaiWei are fighting!"

Hua Yuanwu: "They're fighting so go break it up, why are you telling me?"

Staff: "But Xi BaiWei is loudly claiming that the director set her up."

Hua Yuanwu slammed the table angrily: "What an ungrateful thing! I told her that Gu Heavenly King was coming to give her a shock, to stop her from having any improper thoughts. But how did she respond on stage? I was embarrassed for her!"

Staff: "Understood!"

After yelling,

Hua Yuanwu immediately picked up his phone and sent a message.

Hua Yuanwu: "Xi BaiWei's excessive self-imagination has incurred public wrath, Group 14 is brawling."

The recipient didn't reply to the message.

But at the top of the chat window, three big words were clearly visible.

Gu Beihuai!

Hua Yuanwu wasn't surprised that Gu didn't reply. What surprised him was,

Gu Beihuai had specially asked him to pass on a message and give Xi BaiWei a boost?

This is too vicious!

Online, Xi BaiWei's image was thoroughly ruined.

In real life, it goes without saying how devastated Xi BaiWei was by this blow. Whether she stayed or left, she'd become a target for all the trainees.

She had gloated for too long.

Director Hua Yuanwu's body shuddered. He still felt Gu Beihuai was frightening.

With just a casual instigation, a trainee's future was ruined.

Did these two have a grudge?

Just because this trainee had tried gimmicky marketing?

Hua Yuanwu felt it shouldn't be like this. Gu Beihuai wasn't someone who cared about trivial details.

Could it be Xi BaiWei's malicious behavior on the show was even unbearable to the Heavenly King?

No way!

Hua Yuanwu shook his head again. The Heavenly King wouldn't be so petty.

On Weibo, after Yu Jingting's group had performed on stage.

A hot search suddenly shot up to the #1 spot on the hot search rankings.

【Sweetheart Yu Jingting】

Inside was a 9-pic collage posted by a top influencer.

Every picture was carefully selected!

Photos of Yu Jingting, gifs, all kinds of beautiful pics, high-res quality!

It had to be said, the shots were truly amazing, the angles were chosen by what must have been a master-level photographer.

But the number of likes on this post was extremely miserable, only a few dozen comments.

And they were all question marks.

Who is this?

Why is she on hot search?

Paid promotion?

Just as everyone was questioning it, another hot search was frantically commented on, shared and liked by fans.

It instantly replaced the #1 hot search!

【Gu Beihuai: Mute it】

The bizarre hot search term, plus the top celebrity's name Gu Beihuai, made everyone click in to see.

At a glance, it was hilarious!

It was an edited video compilation.

Gu Beihuai's expressionless "mute it", followed directly by him muting without even looking up.

Caption: Strict mentor Gu Heavenly King!

The blogger who edited this video even added some distortion effects.

Gu Beihuai's 360 degree flawless face, combined with his expressionless muting, suddenly became demonic, seemingly bewitching.

Comments:

Hahaha! Infinite loop! My brain is just "mute it, muted"

You guys noticed right, big bro is so handsome when he's strict!

Strict mentor Gu Beihuai! So handsome!

Big bro used to be coldly handsome! Now he's strictly handsome!

Come on! Fans are used to it, Gu Beihuai never smiles!

Those of us who watched the livestream know, Gu wasn't being strict, he was just impatient haha!

At Huawan Entertainment.

Agent Lin Yao was stunned: Gu Beihuai is trending!

Huawan Vice President Yu Weihong frowned: What number is he?

Lin Yao: #1! He directly pushed down Jingting's hot search! But it wasn't a post he made himself, it was an edited video made by an influencer.

Yu Weihong sucked in a breath, looking very unhappy: It wasn't posted by him? Then pay that blogger to delete Gu Beihuai's trending topic!

Lin Yao: Jingting's post already has over 50,000 comments, it got squeezed off!

Damn it! Yu Weihong fiercely slammed his cup, then gritted his teeth: Buy Jingting another hot search!

Lin Yao was surprised but asked: Okay, what should the content be?

Since it wasn't costing her money, Yu Weihong wanted to buy it so she'd buy it.

Yu Weihong said: Make it a fierce one, get someone to edit it. Focus on her image, I want my daughter to debut as a top-level artist!

Lin Yao thought for a bit: Huawan's little princess is down-to-earth and low-key for her debut?

Yu Weihong's eyes lit up. He approvingly looked at the agent: Go with this! Boost Jingting's credentials!

Lin Yao nodded and immediately got to work.

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

At this point in the live broadcast of the show, several other groups of trainees had performed on stage.

Other than the first group with Ge Dongxuan, the groups after didn't have much ability.

Gradually, the audience was getting tired.

At this time, the drawing of lots segment arrived.

Host Guan Liangzhe looked at the big screen: "Wow! We've finally drawn the first group! First group trainees! Get ready!"

Backstage in the waiting room.

Zhu Sha immediately stood up and slapped her teammates on the back: "Go for it! You can do it!"

The 3 teammates were exceptionally nervous. They put their hands together in a circle to psych themselves up before going on stage.

But when they turned their heads, they saw Nan XiangWan sitting on the sofa, completely zoned out.

And she was holding a bag of potato chips.

Zhu Sha: "Nan XiangWan! Stop eating!"

Nan XiangWan poured the remaining potato chips into her mouth in one go, chewing vigorously.

She was hungry!!!

She had gone to get styled and made up early in the morning, and hadn't eaten lunch after coming back in the afternoon.

She was starving!

After polishing off the bag of chips, Nan XiangWan got up.

She took a deep breath, then yelled loudly:

"Charge!!!"

Teammates:

"Fight!!!"

The 5 of them raced through the hallway onto the stage.

At this moment, the stage lights had already gone dark.

Whether it was the live audience or those watching the stream, all they could see was pitch black.

Until the opening of [Skee] sounded.

Just the invincible intro had audiences screaming!

Then

The lights flashed, forming beams illuminating the stage.
