The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 187

It was 9:30 a.m.

Nan XiangWan finished breakfast made by Xiao Dong and headed to South-North Entertainment.

Every morning, she would go to the dance studio at South-North Entertainment to work with her teammates and friends on choreographing concert routines and dances.

Today was no exception.

However, when she arrived, Nan XiangWan had to wait for a long time.

No one showed up!

And they weren't answering her calls or messages!

She checked the time and realized it was already close to 11 a.m.!

What were they up to?

That's when Nan XiangWan noticed a flood of unread messages.

Huh???

These people didn't sleep all night!

The members of Destiny Girls were chatting in their group chats all night, and they were still going at it until 5 a.m.!

Nan XiangWan: "..."

Have they gone crazy?

They started staying up late without their dad watching over them?

Rebellious kids!

As she glanced at the messages, Nan XiangWan gasped in disbelief.

What kind of big battle?

What mighty army did she supposedly lead?

So, she quickly logged into Weibo!

Wow, what's going on here?

Her Weibo was buzzing with activity!

The number of comments on her post about the esports army originally exceeded three million, and it had now surpassed four million after the bricklayers woke up in the morning.

Nan XiangWan had never been so sensitive and shocked by numbers!

What did she do?

She didn't do anything!

What's with all these shares and likes?

She then checked the official Weibo account of Hua Wan Entertainment and, um, they were served with a court summons by Chengdong Entertainment and a certain artist under their banner.

Wow!

They're going to court!

Nan XiangWan, as the party involved, was completely bewildered!

At that moment, her phone rang.

It was Cheng Xue calling.

Nan XiangWan: "Oh, good morning."

Cheng Xue: "Nan CEO, congratulations! The anti-black campaign was a success, and we gained millions of engagements. Our stocks have also risen."

Nan XiangWan: "Oh, really?" She didn't understand.

Cheng Xue: "Chengdong Entertainment just shot themselves in the foot. They will face a period of decline in the future. We can take advantage of this opportunity to poach some well-known artists under their company."

Nan XiangWan: "Oh, I see. You and Shao Fu can decide on that."

Cheng Xue: "Okay, Nan CEO, is everything alright on your end? Those haters are organized and trying to set the tone, but normal people know you're not like that."

Nan XiangWan remained silent for a moment.

Cheng Xue sounded worried: "Nan CEO, are you okay? Don't let the negative comments get to you."

Nan XiangWan: "Um, I don't know what you're talking about. I haven't seen any negative comments."

And she really hadn't. She scrolled through several pages, and they were all supportive and encouraging messages from esports players or bricklayers posting memes.

As for the hot topics, there were endless praises and cheers under her street dance video.

Negative comments? Where were they?

Could they be further down?

Should she keep scrolling?

Cheng Xue: "..."

She couldn't believe it. Nan XiangWan was truly winning effortlessly!

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they hung up.

Nan XiangWan didn't bother looking for negative comments. Instead, she checked her friends' moments.

Oh, it turned out someone was messing with her last night.

Hmm, her teammates didn't sleep all night and were busy fighting.

Well, she forgave her obedient sons for waking up late.

Nan XiangWan quietly practiced dancing for a while and improved her familiarity with the songs.

Then she lazily went back home, feeling bored during the entire morning.

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

Gu Beihuai also woke up late.

After getting up, he first called Mantou, but the other party's phone was turned off.

He must be sleeping, and this guy would sleep all day after staying up late.

Gu Beihuai didn't try calling again. He got up, washed up, and checked the group messages.

[Warlords Five Tigers]

'Jie Chou: Everyone, wake up!!! Get up, my sons!'

'Luo Wei: Shut up! Why are you making noise early in the morning?'

'Gong Jin: What time zone are you in upstairs? It's lunchtime, okay?'

'Jie Chou: @Mantou, was yesterday's commander-in-chief you?'

'Jie Chou: @Mantou, come out!'

'Jie Chou: @Mantou, ahhhh!'

'Jie Chou: @Mantou, I just want to say! Can you bring me along next time? Bring me!'

Seeing Jie Chou constantly mentioning him, Gu Beihuai couldn't help but type.

'Gu Beihuai: His phone is off. If you're not annoyed, continue mentioning him.'

'Jie Chou: @Gu Beihuai, when your neighbors were all hacked, you didn't come online to help! Useless!'

'Gong Jin: Oh? ? ?'

'Luo Wei: Wow, little Chouzi, you dare to insult even the fox leader. Is this growth?'

'Jie Chou: Huh! That's called not fearing the powerful, that's called justice! I'm different from you guys! I'm a people's policeman!'

'Gong Jin: But you're still the fattest.'

'Luo Wei: But you're still the fattest.'

'Gu Beihuai: But you're still the fattest.'

'Jie Chou: Shut up, all of you!'

'Gong Jin: When did Gu Beihuai get a neighbor without us knowing?'

'Luo Wei: Could it be the opposite sex...'

'Gu Beihuai: Oh, it's just that Jie Chou and Mantou are both star chasers, and unintentionally they're chasing the same star.'

'Luo Wei: Haha—star chasers?'

'Gong Jin: I can understand little Chouzi being a star chaser, after all, his brain has never been normal, but someone like Mantou also chases stars?'

'Gu Beihuai: I have screenshots as proof, want to see?'

'Gong Jin: Show, show, show!'

'Luo Wei: Show it! If you're brothers, show it to us and broaden our horizons!'

'Gu Beihuai: Red envelopes, 2,000 each time.'

'Gong Jin: Go die!'

'Luo Wei: Wow, here we go again.'

'Jie Chou: Why don't we revolt! Kick him out! Kick him out!'

'Gu Beihuai: Sorry, I'm the group owner.'

'...'

Gu Beihuai chatted with his childhood friends for a while, then went upstairs and glanced at the opposite side.

It should be back by noon.

Time to cook!

At the same time, he received messages from three different catteries on his phone.

Mr. Gu, the kittens you reserved have been born!

Gu Beihuai smiled, immediately replied to the messages, and made the payment.

He wants all the kittens from the three catteries!

With their birth at this time, when Nan XiangWan's birthday comes on August 22nd, they will be exactly three months old and ready to be picked up from the cattery.

Give her a surprise!

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

Nan Chaoyang took the morning off from school today. In the afternoon, his father, Nan Song, drove him.

When he walked into the classroom, he swayed his hips.

Rong Zhen looked at him with a strange look. "Why are you walking like a girl?"

Gu Lu said, "Even we girls don't walk so effeminately!"

Ning Yan: "Nan ChaoYang, did your parents beat you up?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Nan ChaoYang's face instantly turned red.

Indeed, he had been beaten up!

He was already in his final year of high school, yet he was still getting physically punished, and it was a double team effort.

Especially his mother, who even resorted to military-style boxing!

Fortunately, he resisted the beating; otherwise, he would have been left breathless.

No matter how he pleaded, it was useless. In the end, he ended up kneeling on the bed, offering his phone to his parents so they could check the situation online, and only then did they let him go!

Did it end there?

No!

Surprisingly, his parents didn't go to sleep. They sat on either side of him, watching him closely, ready to intervene!

Xin Zi, on one hand, taught her son how to insult people without using profanity, while on the other hand, she was dancing and prancing around, nearly smashing the wall with a hammer.

In the end, Nan Song became so disappointed with his son's insults that he created an account to fight on behalf of his daughter.

The whole family was involved in this showdown!
