The Queen’s Rise to the Top

Chapter 36

That evening, Nan XiangWan's face was very serious as she sternly reprimanded the audience.

She immediately quieted the spectators as if they were recruits being yelled at by a drill sergeant!

The scene became as quiet as chickens!

Everyone was well behaved.

Nan XiangWan nodded satisfactorily, then stood with her legs shoulder width apart and her hands behind her back, standing ramrod straight.

She looked towards the mentor's podium.

She had seen the live feed in the waiting room earlier, so she knew what was coming up next - the mentor critiques.

It was very important!

So Nan XiangWan stood like a drill sergeant, looking at the mentors.

Come on!

Critique us quickly!

Praise her!

Zhu Sha and the other four teammates were convinced, but now the die was cast and they couldn't change it.

They had no way to alter things.

They could only stand stubbornly next to Nan XiangWan and try their best to stand in a similar manner so as not to look too out of place.

The scene was quiet.

In contrast, the bullet screen comments were:

Hahaha! Hahahahaha! What is Nan XiangWan's stance?

Special forces soldier Nan XiangWan has arrived!

That familiar stance again!

Quiet! Hahahaha! Nan XiangWan is disciplining the trainees on site???

Disciplining trainees on site, not bad!

Laughing to death! The other trainees are obediently waiting for critiques, but Nan XiangWan is standing like a drill sergeant, as if watching over her own recruits!

The mentors are laughing too! Look at the mentors' expressions, they're dumbfounded!

Speaking of which, why didn't Nan XiangWan test into a military academy? Hahahaha!

At a basketball court in Gusu City.

Nan ChaoYang made plans with his classmates to play basketball all day.

He had beaten all his companions down, and the others were resting on the sidelines.

Only he was left, dribbling back and forth on the court, constantly sweating as he shot baskets.

As if he had gone mad and knew no fatigue!

A few classmates were sitting on the sidelines, scrolling through their phones.

Ning Yan: Hey, Nan ChaoYang! Aren't you going to watch Nan XiangWan's livestream? It should be her turn soon, right?

Nan ChaoYang scoffed: What's there to watch, I see her at home every day.

At this moment, Rong Zhen jumped up excitedly: Damn! Ning Yan, has your mouth been blessed? Her group got picked!

As he spoke, Rong Zhen shouted wildly: Nan ChaoYang, come watch! It's a live broadcast on site! Nan XiangWan is on stage!

It seemed as if Nan ChaoYang didn't hear him. He ran even farther away.

Slam dunking forcefully with the basketball.

Rong Zhen waved at him: Nan ChaoYang, hurry up! I'm about to become a fan of your sister!

Ning Yan next to him opened Weibo: I'm already a fan, I'm going to vote for her now.

Nan ChaoYang had a complex expression. He wanted to watch but was also afraid.

He could hear the livestream audio coming from his classmates' phones.

It sounded... really good?

Was that Nan XiangWan's voice?

How could that timid and cowardly sister of his sing rap so well?

After one song ended.

The two classmates were excited along with the on-site audience and bullet screen comments.

The performance was shockingly amazing!

Nan XiangWan was simply awesomely cool!

Nan ChaoYang was peeking at the screen.

After watching, his cheeks were slightly flushed, a bit high from the excitement.

She was going to debut and gain fans!

Also, Nan XiangWan looked really beautiful with makeup on screen!

Although Nan ChaoYang wouldn't admit it and still acted indifferent, he couldn't help but feel proud inside.

Nan XiangWan, his sister.

So awesome!!!

At the recording site.

Bian ZhiMing, Zhong Lingfei and Zhao Lan were feeling very excited at the moment.

The three of them had guessed that this group's performance would be explosive, but they hadn't expected it to be so shockingly amazing!

They'd heard that some audience members were so excited that they fainted?

It was truly a flawless stage!

The three of them even resented not being able to scream along with the audience.

Now it was time for critiques, and all three of them picked up the mics, wanting to speak.

But someone was faster than them!

Nan XiangWan.

Gu Beihuai's voice suddenly rang out.

The three mentors were startled, then shut their mouths.

At this moment, Gu Beihuai was holding the mic with one hand, his gaze deep and focused as he looked at the stage.

It was as if at that instant, his eyes could only hold one person!

A long silence.

Nan XiangWan met his gaze, waiting for him to speak.

But after half a day...

she didn't get anything?

Nan XiangWan was anxious. She picked up the mic: Say something!

The scene burst into laughter.

The bullet screen also laughed wildly.

But Gu Beihuai's gaze was simply too fiery, as if wanting to melt Nan XiangWan!

Bullet screen comments:

Wait, is it me or is Gu Beihuai being weird?

I'm freaking out! Gu Beihuai isn't trying to steal Nan XiangWan from us, is he?

Those in front, your worries are a bit excessive!

Don't spread rumors! Don't force promotional gimmicks on my brother!

But you guys see how weird Gu Beihuai's gaze is, right?

Just as the bullet screen was full of question marks.

Gu Beihuai took a deep breath and spoke: There's nothing much to say about the performance, it was perfect. Nan XiangWan fully demonstrated her versatility and skill, the other four teammates also coordinated very well. This group will undoubtedly take first place if nothing unexpected happens.

His words made the on-site crowd clap wildly.

It was recognition from the king!

Moreover, Gu Beihuai rarely spoke so much, and they were all compliments!

It was so rare!

Gu Beihuai spoke again, his tone serious: I invited you on Weibo before, now I'll formally ask you again face-to-face.

Nan XiangWan: ?

Gu Beihuai's eyes lit up for a moment: Nan XiangWan, are you willing to be the female lead in my new song "Sword Dance" MV?

The scene instantly erupted!

A personal invitation from the king Gu Beihuai!

And it was the second time!

It must be known that in Gu Beihuai's entire career, as he rose to the peak, he had never promoted anyone so enthusiastically.

Such solemnity was an absolute affirmation of Nan XiangWan!

Nan XiangWan hadn't even debuted yet, but she was about to explode in popularity!

Amidst the cheers.

Nan XiangWan tilted her head: How much are you paying?

Freeze!

The on-site crowd, the production crew, and all the staff froze in shock.

The mentors on stage and Zhu Sha's group were also dumbstruck!

Bullet screen comments:

????

???????

I haven't recovered from Gu Beihuai's solemn invitation yet, and Nan XiangWan comes out with this line?

Sorry, this plot twist is too fast, I can only express my current mood with a "Damn!"

Damn! Damn! Damn!

Really can't keep up with the pace, my brother Nan only cares about money!

As expected, wherever there is Nan XiangWan, there are plot twists!

But you can also see that King Gu sincerely wants to promote her talent, right? This is clearly full support!

Someone come kill me to cheer King Gu up!

Kill me too! To cheer Gu Beihuai and Nan XiangWan up! I really can't keep up with these two's conversational rhythm! One blows minds, the other is dumbfounded!

Mindblowing and dumbfounded CP???

Those in front, scram!

Laughing to death hahahaha!
