The Queen’s Rise to the Top

Chapter 395

At noon, Tian Ming's seven girls walked out of the Hermès store, each holding a new bag in hand. Behind them, the manager bowed and thanked them, welcoming them to visit again.

Beside them, Zhao Tiancheng was carrying seven large shopping bags. He brought them over to the parking lot and loaded everything into the car.

Each of Tian Ming's seven girls had bought one bag, while Zhao Tiancheng alone had bought seven.

He had counted all the women in his family and, basking in the glory of being a top-tier member under Nan Xiangwan, went on a major shopping spree!

These 7 bags were the really hard to get kind. Zhao Tiancheng was overjoyed, barely reacting to spending over a million yuan in one day.

Carrying her new bag, Nan Xiangwan wanted to toss her phone and weighted vest right in.

Yun Qian grabbed her hand, speaking earnestly: "Xiangwan, I'm begging you, don't throw the weighted vest into the bag, it'll get damaged!"

Ge Dongxuan: "Nan Xiangwan, get a hold of yourself! That's a weighted vest! You can handle it, but the bag can't! Your bag is really expensive!"

Nan Xiangwan realized they were right, it wasn't worth it.

So she continued wearing the weighted vest as she walked, the bag was more precious.

Zhu Sha: "Eat some rice noodles?"

Nan Xiangwan's eyes lit up: "Eat!"

Zhou Wenxia: "Get in the car, I'll give the address of where we'll meet up."

Sha Ling: "Is it far? I just saw some for sale nearby."

Zhou Wenxia: "If we're eating, it has to be the renowned shop, come with me!"

The seven girls hurried off with gusto, rushing towards the rice noodles.

Two limousines drove into the crowded old street. Zhao Tiancheng drove the rear one, feeling a bit nervous.

Zhu Sha: "Boss Zhao, if this car gets a scratch or bump, you can afford it."

Yun Qian: "That's right, bring out the bold attitude you had when buying those bags!"

Zhao Tiancheng: "I'm not worried about scraping this car, I'm worried about bumping Nan Xiangwan's bag."

Nan Xiangwan: "Hmm???"

Zhu Sha and Yun Qian burst out laughing. Yes, with one slap, Nan Xiangwan's bag could fetch more than the car!

Arriving at their destination, Zhou Wenxia led everyone to the upstairs of a small restaurant.

It really was tiny, still retaining an obvious worn-down feel despite renovations in recent years.

The kitchen was directly connected to the hall, visible at a glance.

The stairs to the second floor were very steep, needing care not to slip when going up.

After finally sitting down, a server shouted from the top of the stairs to ask what they wanted.

Zhou Wenxia: "20 portions of braised duck claypot rice! And 40 portions of rice noodles!"

Server: "How many? 20? 40?"

Zhou Wenxia: "Yes! We'll take home whatever we can't finish."

The server didn't actually come to confirm, just took the order slip downstairs to tell the chef.

Zhou Wenxia: "This shop's been open 20 years, I've been eating here since I was little."

Yun Qian: "Amazing! It's older than Nan Xiangwan."

Nan Xiangwan: "Older than our captain too."

Zhu Sha nearly choked on her water.

Sha Ling: "The captain is usually quiet and takes care of us, but she's actually only 19, younger than most of us."

Deng Si Nan: "The captain works hard."

Ge Dongxuan: "Captain, eat more."

Zhu Sha: "......"

No, what was going on? She was more used to them being playful like normal.

The first ten portions of claypot rice came up quickly, each claypot carried up steaming hot.

Stirring in the secret sauce, Nan Xiangwan nearly drooled from the aroma!

Delicious!

Right after finishing the first portion, the next ten arrived, along with large quantities of rice noodles.

Zhou Wenxia pushed the claypots and noodles in front of Nan Xiangwan: "Rare chance to be here, eat more."

Nan Xiangwan: "Mmhmm!"

Beside them, Zhao Tiancheng snapped photos, posting to his moments.

He quickly garnered tons of likes, the industry was practically green with envy.

...

After the meal, the group ambled lazily down the street.

Just then, Yun Qian suddenly remembered something and laughed: "Xiangwan, Xiangwan!"

Nan Xiangwan looked back: "Hmm?"

Yun Qian: "Remember the spicy ice cream you ate in the mountain city?"

Nan Xiangwan fell silent while the others roared with laughter.

Ge Dongxuan: "That's right, that's right, it was at Hongya Cave right, Nan Xiangwan bought a chocolate ice cream on the street, but it turned out to be spicy hahaha!"

Sha Ling: "And, and, she ordered soup, there was red stuff floating she thought were goji berries, but it was chili peppers ahahaha!"

Deng Si Nan: "Hahahaha! We were slapping the table laughing back then!"

Zhou Wenxia: "Speaking of funny things, there was also the time she tried catching a cat barehanded and the memes!"

Chatting about the hilarious things in the past, they laughed until they could barely walk.

Zhu Sha also had a smile on her face: "Want to go back? For next year's tour let's add a stop in the mountain city, it is where Xiangwan wrote 'RainCat' after all."

Zhao Tiancheng: "You all just want a vacation now?"

Sha Ling: "Boss Zhao, for the travel show I'm hosting, can you get Nan Xiangwan to guest on an episode? I want to play with her!"

Sha Ling was now an artist under South-North Entertainment. Familiar with Zhao Tiancheng and doted on by the company, she had long overcome the fear of exploitation she once held, sometimes coquettishly making requests.

Ge Dongxuan: "Boss Zhao! I'm not with South-North, I'll tell my agent to ask about it."

Zhao Tiancheng: "......"

Others: "Hahaha!"

The leisurely day was fleeting, a rare relaxing moment during their tour.

What followed... rehearsals, vocal practice, blocking, cue points...

Keep at it! Girls!
