The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 346

The shooting of this episode was over. As soon as Nan XiangWan changed her clothes, Wei Sha pulled her aside.

Wei Sha: “Are you hungry? Let me treat you to a late-night snack.”

Nan XiangWan's eyes lit up as she sidled over and whispered: “Just the two of us?”

Wei Sha also whispered back: “Yeah, just the two of us. We’ll have our own private feast.”

Nan XiangWan: “I’ll wait for you at the door!”

Wei Sha: “OK!”

Zhong Lingfei walked over expressionlessly and said: “Oh, having your own private feast huh?”

Wei Sha: “......”

Nan XiangWan: “......”

Yang Rongjun opened the door and looked up at the ceiling, “Ah, don’t know why but I’m feeling a bit hungry this late into the night!”

Wei Sha: “......”

Nan XiangWan: “......”

And so, the private feast for two ended up becoming a dinner gathering of a group.

Gu Beihuai, Jie Chou, Xiao Dong and Guan Liangzhe also came along.

Seeing Gu Beihuai, Wei Sha felt rather nervous since he was her boss after all.

Gu Beihuai was also Zhong Lingfei’s boss, but Zhong Lingfei was nonchalant as usual. She even shared a bottle of wine with Yang Rongjun.

Having entered the industry earlier than Gu Beihuai, although she was signed to North-South Entertainment, she still had the confidence of a senior.

As for Gu Beihuai himself, he didn’t pay any attention to what mindset his two artists were in at all. He was busy pairing dishes for Nan XiangWan.

Eating merrily, Guan Liangzhe started a drinking competition with Jie Chou.

Jie Chou: “What’s up with you bro? Don’t you still have to record a show tonight?”

Guan Liangzhe waved his hand: “I’m drinking to embolden myself! You don’t know how insane that show is!”

Jie Chou: “I know, I watch the final edits every episode.”

Guan Liangzhe: “You have to watch the livestream, the livestream is way scarier. The final edits are edited with added subtitles and sound effects.”

Jie Chou: “Can’t watch the livestream, I’ve still got work tomorrow!”

Guan Liangzhe raised his glass: “Bro, which company do you work at?”

Jie Chou clinked his glass: “The police department.”

Guan Liangzhe: “Pfft—”

Damn bro! You scared him shitless!

Guan Liangzhe put his glass down and asked: “So do you believe in science or not?”

Jie Chou started laughing: “Of course hahaha!”

Then the two continued their intense drinking competition.

Nearby, Zhong Lingfei and Yang Rongjun also joined in. The four drank riotously together.

Gradually, Wei Sha began to loosen up amidst this atmosphere as well. She started chatting and laughing, and also drank a little.

After eating his fill, Xiao Dong started stirring up trouble!

Beer bonging!

Nan XiangWan: “!!!”

Damn Xiao Dong!

Jie Chou enthusiastically clapped: “Xiao Dong, awesome!”

Xiao Dong finished chugging in one breath, then slammed his glass heavily onto the table: “Go ahead, tell me if you can match that or not!”

Guan Liangzhe gave a thumbs up: “I admit defeat!”

Tipsy from the drinking, Xiao Dong arrogantly boasted: “Hmm! I’m definitely the most capable assistant! *hic*”

Jie Chou: “No doubt about it! Our Xiao Dong is unmatched in the world!”

Xiao Dong giggled smugly: “Which other *hic* assistant gets to fly business class? I do! *hic*”

After saying that, he collapsed face down on the table, out cold.

Everyone: “......”

He’s drunk just like that?

Damn, you shouldn’t beer bong when you can’t handle liquor!

Looking at Nan XiangWan, Guan Liangzhe laughed: “You two are the awesome ones, the boss passes out after a glass while the assistant passes out after a bottle, haha!”

Everyone: “Hahaha!”

Yang Rongjun also started laughing: “Little Nan can’t drink either? I thought you were a minor who didn’t touch alcohol!”

Growing excited, Guan Liangzhe gestured wildly as he began recounting Nan XiangWan's drunken tales: “Teacher Yang, let me tell you...”

It was infectious. One person telling stories, the group roaring with laughter!

Nan XiangWan eyed the wine bottles on the table, licking her lips.

So tempting, what a pity her current body was a lightweight.

If she was still herself from before...

She could drink down armies without batting an eye!

Noticing Nan XiangWan's gaze, Gu Beihuai placed a shrimp in her bowl.

Nan XiangWan finished them as soon as he put them in. Still wanted more after eating them.

Gu Beihuai continued peeling shrimp: “Want to drink alcohol?”

Nan XiangWan: “Mm.”

Gu Beihuai: “You’re not allergic right?”

Nan XiangWan: “Don’t know.”

Gu Beihuai: “If you’re not allergic, alcohol tolerance can be built up. When you come of age I’ll drink with you.”

Nan XiangWan: “OK!”

Bellies filled with food and drink, the rowdy group looked for designated drivers to bring them home.

Xiao Dong had already passed out and was taken away by company staff.

Despite being drunk, Guan Liangzhe still had decent tolerance. Though wasted, he could still walk by himself.

And so, he struggled to climb into the business van that belonged to Nan XiangWan.

Guan Liangzhe: “Can’t be alone...scared...”

Nan XiangWan took out her phone to record a video: “Say that again?”

Guan Liangzhe: “I’m s-scared, wuwuwu!”

Gu Beihuai got into the driver’s seat. With Xiao Dong gone, he’d drive then.

Just hoped he wouldn’t run into any cars with high beams on during the ride. His eyes really couldn’t stand it!

Luckily, civic integrity within China had been steadily improving. Apart from occasionally brushing past the odd Audi, Gu Beihuai drove very smoothly the whole way.

The three safely arrived at the filming location for Horror Escape Room!

The filming this time was still at the same location as last week.

Definite consecutive storyline!

11:55 PM.

Guan Liangzhe was forcibly separated from them and taken away.

He refused to leave, clinging onto Gu Beihuai and Nan XiangWan's pant legs while wailing.

Guan Liangzhe: “I don’t wanna go! No! Scared!”

Hua Yuanwu came over and started dragging him away: “What’s going on? Came to film drunk?”

Nan XiangWan: “We gathered for a meal after work, he drank a bit.”

Hua Yuanwu: “You call this drinking a bit? This looks more like he downed a whole bottle of white wine!”

Just then, Lan Tianyou walked over curiously: “You guys had a meal together? Bring me along next time! I can seriously drink lots!”

Despite his protests, Guan Liangzhe was still taken away on his own.

12 AM sharp, the show officially began!

The opening scene with Nan XiangWan, Gu Beihuai and Lan Tianyou three people was the exit of the room they had escaped in the previous episode.

For this episode, the production crew had retreated into another room. Here, they transformed the original room into an entirely new escape room.

So basically it was a continuous adventure - they had barely managed to escape last episode, only to enter another harrowing round right after.

As for Guan Liangzhe, it was currently a laughing riot over there!

The filming location was that glass LED screen they were at when the second ghost in the mirror was exposed during the climax of the previous episode. It followed up on that storyline.

Yun Qian and Zhou Wenxia arrived on time. Upon entering, they saw the dead drunk Guan Liangzhe right away.

Yep, he was currently spewing drunken nonsense.

Guan Liangzhe: “I’m not scared, I lied to you guys...”

Guan Liangzhe: “I’m not scared at all! I was joking...”

Guan Liangzhe: “Come at me! Wuwuwu, don’t come over...”

His entire being seemed to have split personalities at the moment.

At the side, Yun Qian and Zhou Wenxia were laughing their heads off, doubling over.
