Gu Beihuai was enduring the urge to throw his glasses out the window as he chatted with Nan Xiangwan on the phone. The moment he hung up, he took off his glasses in anger as if he was about to vomit blood.
Gong Jin came in with a glass of milk, drinking while laughing, "Wow, how come you're not wearing them? Why did you throw them on the bedside table? These glasses look pretty good."
Gu Beihuai ignored him. He wished he could throw away these glasses!
But to be fair, they were very comfortable to wear. After a one-hour video call, his eyes did not feel tired at all.
If it was a cell phone call, his eyes would have been sore and swollen by now.
Gu Beihuai was furious, but he was helpless. It was a gift from the little one with all his heart.
Gong Jin walked over to examine the glasses and clicked his tongue in wonder, "Do you want them or not? If not, give them to me!"
Gu Beihuai snatched them back, "Whether I throw them away or they get ruined, they were given to me."
Wearing them or not was one thing, being jealous was another, but how to deal with them was yet another matter.
In any case, he would definitely not give them to Gong Jin!
Gong Jin: "Tsk!"
............
The concert was held as scheduled on August 16th.
Nan Xiangwan and the other six members of Destiny Girls were hurriedly preparing backstage. The two top stylists, Monica and Jing Da Shuai, were busy leading their respective teams.
Zhao Tiancheng, who was next to them, was busy moving things around while shouting orders.
Ge Dongxuan: "What is Manager Zhao busy with?"
Sha Ling: "I think Nan Xiangwan's crystal piano was delivered, it seems like people from Hua Wan Entertainment are handing it over."
Deng Si Nan looked over, "The piano is fixed?"
The others also looked at Nan Xiangwan, eyes full of questions.
They had only seen the priceless crystal piano once before it was damaged. They didn't even get a good look before it was scratched, which upset all the members of Destiny Girls.
It was a treasure that none of them had the heart to touch, yet it was damaged by someone!
Nan Xiangwan looked confused, "It's fixed? I didn't know."
She checked her phone. Oh, Orange Xue had sent related messages before, but she was busy video chatting with Gu Beihuai yesterday and didn't read them carefully.
Hua Wan Entertainment's legal team had won the lawsuit against the artist surnamed Wu in the end, obtaining 300 million yuan in compensation. Instead of transporting the piano back and forth, Orange Xue directly arranged for repairs.
This piano was unique, and it was insured!
The original manufacturer immediately sent people to repair it free of charge, replacing the entire scratched crystal surface to restore it to its original condition as much as possible!
Shortly after, people from the international insurance company also came and paid another sum in compensation.
In short, after all the hassle, money was squeezed out of the artist surnamed Wu and the insurance company, while the piano was repaired for free very quickly as the other party placed great importance on this matter.
Nan Xiangwan was stunned after reading the messages. As for fleecing and playing by the rules, Orange Xue was truly unmatched.
Promote her!
Don't be a manager anymore, make her the Vice President!
Coincidentally, the former Vice President surnamed Yu had gone to jail, and the position had been vacant ever since. Relevant work was handled by Shao Fu, who had been so busy that Nan Xiangwan rarely saw him in such a long time. Hua Wan Entertainment needed a new Vice President to ease Shao Fu’s pressure.
So with one word from Nan Xiangwan, Orange Xue smoothly got promoted!
As for the manager job, Orange Xue only needed to hand over the work of the artists under her and focus on Nan Xiangwan and other top artists.
Orange Xue's promotion brought broad influence. On top of the basic multiples of salary increase, she also obtained shares of Hua Wan Entertainment and increased company operation rights.
And what mattered most to her was that due to the position upgrade, she could directly buy a house despite not meeting the years of working requirement in Shanghai.
That afternoon, Orange Xue happily went to see houses at the real estate agent, with Lang Hu sticking to her covered in cat fur the whole time.
Lang Hu: "Congratulations to Hua Wan Entertainment's new Vice President, Ms. Orange Xue."
Orange Xue looked him up and down, "Did you just roll around in a blanket?"
Lang Hu was a little embarrassed. Orange Xue was now the Vice President while he had gone from a top manager to a celebrity's domestic worker.
Alas! People compare with each other, and it kills! His family status in the future would probably be non-existent.
......
Here with Nan Xiangwan, after getting styled, she went to the crystal piano backstage.
Several staff members were carefully standing guard nearby, fearing any more mishaps.
There was still some time before the 7 pm opening, and the audience was lining up to enter.
Nan Xiangwan was excited to touch this piano again after so long. Her fingers rested on the keys and she played a few notes lightly.
Ge Dongxuan had wanted to film a video of the piano, but happened to capture Nan Xiangwan's casual playing.
Ge Dongxuan: "So nice! What song is it?"
Nan Xiangwan: "Hmm, just a preliminary idea."
Ge Dongxuan: "Not released yet? Let me reshoot then, I won't post this part to prevent others from stealing it."
Nan Xiangwan went to the side and Ge Dongxuan set up her phone to shoot again.
Just then, Zhu Sha walked over, "Nan Xiangwan, have you called the ducks?"
Nan Xiangwan: “I called seven, one per person.”
Yun Qian: “We get six people one, you take six ducks yourself.”
Nan Xiangwan: “That works too!”
Ge Dongxuan happened to capture this whole conversation in her short video, including the dialogue.
She happily posted the video online with the caption: The crystal piano is back!
Her intention was to show off Nan Xiangwan’s expensive piano, but the online comments exploded in another direction.
Some media outlets caught the key point and immediately wrote articles.
[Shock! Destiny Girls blatantly hire prostitutes backstage at concert!]
[Shameful conversation, six Destiny members share one prostitute, Nan Xiangwan has six prostitutes to herself!]
Online heated discussion exploded as more and more netizens flocked in to watch the drama.
Does Destiny play this big?
How exciting!
Several rival companies quickly took action, launching a wave of mockery and insult.
Destiny's wildfire popularity was naturally unpleasant for some, arousing extreme jealousy in others.
Some people had been watching their every move closely, ready to launch a storm of attacks at the slightest inappropriate word from any of the seven.
Grasping at straws, faultfinding.
The goal was only one: to pull them down from their pedestal!
Forget Nan Xiangwan, but what about the rest?
Moreover, in this video, Nan Xiangwan was at the forefront of the conversation!
Hiring six prostitutes for herself? She was really going overboard!
So on the same night of Destiny's last sold-out Shanghai concert at the Bird’s Nest, the online topics about these seven also blew up.
Full of outrage! All kinds of insults calling them shameless and lacking self-respect!
Fans who failed to grab tickets learned of the news and immediately rushed online to defend them.
At a look, Nan Xiangwan seemed fine, perhaps because several previous waves of anti-fans had been too thoroughly eliminated and companies refused to take jobs attacking her.
But there were many anti-fans, celebrating like New Year and mockingly insulting her. Still, they were not dominant in numbers and were soon brushed off by the fans.
But it was tragic for Destiny's other members!
The personal Weibo of the video uploader Ge Dongxuan was bombarded by black fans and internet water armies to the point of being unviewable.
All kinds of humiliating remarks were appalling!
