The Queen’s Rise to the Top

Chapter 42

Under the leadership of Bian ZhiMing, everyone spent the whole morning learning B-ox.

Among them, Nan XiangWan was the most enthusiastic learner.

She found it fascinating to imitate the sounds of various musical instruments with her mouth. It turned out that music could be played in such a way!

Suddenly, Nan XiangWan began to develop a slight liking for this world.

Besides delicious food, there were also fun things to do.

Soon, it was lunchtime.

Nan XiangWan rushed into the cafeteria, famished like a starving pig every day.

Sure enough, the cafeteria staff had prepared eight meals.

At that moment,

[Ding!]

[Hard work pays off! Congratulations to the host for acquiring the -ox expertise skill due to diligent practice!]

Nan XiangWan raised an eyebrow, impressed by this development.

After practicing all morning, the system rewarded her with a skill.

Impressive indeed!

[Top Star System]

[Host: Nan XiangWan]

[Age: 17]

[Appearance: 97 (Heavenly Beauty)]

[Figure: 97 (Universal Supermodel)]

[Charm: 97 (Admired by the World)]

[Fans: 5 million (Moderately Famous)]

[Skills: Dance Expertise, Singing Expertise, Rap Expertise, -ox Expertise]

[Assets: 180,000 RMB]

Looking at the system panel, Nan XiangWan couldn't help but admire the system's capabilities.

The other trainees entered the cafeteria in groups.

Among them, Yu Jingting came in next to Zhu Sha, speaking softly with a smile on her face. They seemed to have a harmonious and friendly relationship.

Yu Jingting: "Although I don't know how you managed to style yourself before the performance, don't rely on luck next time. I've also arranged for the program's stylist, so no one will style you for the next performance. Just wait and see!"

Zhu Sha didn't say a word. She took her meal and sat next to Nan XiangWan.

Ge Dongxuan came over and sat on Nan XiangWan's other side, with Zhu Sha on one side and Ge Dongxuan on the other, enjoying their meal.

Yu Jingting sneered and sat down next to Zhu Sha as well.

For a while, this table was full of liveliness!

Nan XiangWan's three roommates originally intended to join this table, but as soon as they saw Yu Jingting sit down, they immediately changed direction and headed for another table.

This woman was too frightening, and they couldn't afford to provoke her.

Seeing that no one else approached, Yu Jingting spoke up: "Nan XiangWan, I heard you signed with Hua Wan Entertainment?"

When dealing with the aftermath of the incident involving Xi Baiwei, Yu Weihong and manager Lin Yao came to see Yu Jingting.

By now, Yu Jingting knew about the two posts shared by Hua Wan Entertainment's official Weibo account.

However, the incident where Xi Baiwei got beaten up happened so suddenly that Yu Weihong came in a hurry and didn't have time to ask the staff of the management Weibo account what happened.

Based on what is currently known, Nan XiangWan simply signed with Hua Wan Entertainment!

Nan XiangWan remained silent, her gaze fixed on the system panel, her mind checking the new skill.

Yu Jingting sneered and continued staring at Nan XiangWan, asking, "A contract with C-rank or D-rank? Regardless of the rank, now that you're part of Hua Wan Entertainment, your task for this show is to take my spot. Do you understand?"

Zhu Sha rolled her eyes and looked at Nan XiangWan.

Sure enough, Nan XiangWan was still lost in thought, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Nan XiangWan had grown accustomed to it. From time to time, she would lose her focus in the evening when facing south.

At this moment, Ge Dongxuan put down her chopsticks with a loud clatter.

Both Zhu Sha and Yu Jingting looked over.

Zhu Sha's gaze carried a strange anticipation as she cursed Ge Dongxuan, urging her to go and confront her.

On the other hand, Yu Jingting lifted her chin and provocatively stared back.

After exchanging a glance with Yu Jingting, Ge Dongxuan suddenly lunged at Nan XiangWan!

"Why did you sign with Hua Wan Entertainment? You should have told me that you didn't have an agency and come to my Hengtian Entertainment instead!"

Ge Dongxuan was both angry and anxious. Although Hua Wan Entertainment was a big company, apart from Zhu Sha, who was a versatile trainee, there were several top-tier celebrities under their management.

But Yu Jingting was just so annoying!

With her words specifically targeting Nan XiangWan, what future did she have?

It was all laid out in plain sight—she wanted to snatch Nan XiangWan away!

Ge Dongxuan was truly desperate. She wished she could go back to the company and ask her agent if they could pay a breach of contract fee to bring Nan XiangWan over.

Ge Dongxuan's outburst brought Nan XiangWan back to her senses, and she looked around.

"Let's quickly finish our meal!"

"The dishes have gone cold!"

Ge Dongxuan:

Surprisingly, Yu Jingting didn't continue her provocation. After learning that Nan XiangWan was a trainee under Hua Wan Entertainment, she remained calm.

Sooner or later, Nan XiangWan would be her stepping stone!

In the afternoon, Nan XiangWan finished her meal and went to take her usual nap.

In Class A practice room, Bian ZhiMing, the mentor, arrived promptly at 2 p.m. for class.

After looking around and not seeing Nan XiangWan, Bian ZhiMing whispered into his wireless microphone at the collar.

"Did Nan XiangWan oversleep again? Call her to come for class!"

Soon, a staff member came and pushed the still-dazed Nan XiangWan into the practice room.

Barrage:

"The familiar routine is happening again!"

"Here comes the familiar scene!"

"Nan XiangWan, the insomniac, is online again!"

"By the way, she's punctual for the 6 a.m. training, but it's a given that she can't wake up in the afternoon. Hahaha!"

"Nan 'Insomniac' XiangWan!"

"No one can break Nan XiangWan's daily routine!"

Regardless of whether Nan XiangWan was awake or not, Bian ZhiMing began the afternoon class.

"Now, one by one, come and perform the exercises I taught you this morning!"

Bian ZhiMing said, "Ge Dongxuan, you go first."

Ge Dongxuan reluctantly stepped forward with a mournful expression on her face.

As she started singing, there was a spray of saliva, but fortunately, she managed to shield it with her hand.

Otherwise, Ge Dongxuan would have really gone crazy!

She was a melancholic and gentle style singer who stood still and sang with a unique style!

The image the company created for her was not much different from her true self—a quiet girl who sang.

Damn it!

Fortunately, after a round of spraying, Bian ZhiMing didn't criticize her like he did in the morning, pointing out pronunciation errors or poorly sprayed saliva.

Bian ZhiMing said, "Now, let's try this rap."

Ge Dongxuan took the sheet music and sang along:

[1983, a small alley, a clear December night]

[Chapter Seven of the Night]

[The typewriter continues to push forward]

[The next line that approaches the truth]

As soon as she started, Ge Dongxuan was shocked herself!

She couldn't help but stop and stared at Bian ZhiMing with wide eyes!

Bian ZhiMing had a smile on his face and said, "How was it?"

Ge Dongxuan was so excited that she didn't know how to express her feelings. She kept bowing and thanking her mentor, saying, "Thank you, thank you!"

Her rap was unexpectedly good!

Bian ZhiMing began to explain, "Jay Chou's rap has a strong emphasis on tone and rhythm. If you listen carefully, you'll notice that the pronunciation is similar to the '-ox' sound we practiced this morning. Once you master the correct way of pronouncing and controlling the flow of saliva, there's no rap that you can't learn!"

As he spoke, Bian ZhiMing specifically used Ge Dongxuan as an example and analyzed her rap separately.

In Ge Dongxuan's case, her singing skills were excellent. As we all know, singing involves using the chest and abdomen to produce a clear and resonant sound. The reason why Ge Dongxuan couldn't learn rap was simply due to her subconscious habits of pronunciation. As long as she changes it to mouth pronunciation, rap will come naturally to her.

Of course, the prerequisite is that all of you must have excellent sense of rhythm! But since you all made it to Class A, it shouldn't be a problem. That's why I taught you the '-ox' sound this morning.
