The Queen's Rise to the Top

31 - 40

Chapter 31
Nanbei Entertainment.

In the spacious rest area, Gu Beihuai had already gotten his makeup done and was ready to go to the live show.

Beside him, Zhao Tiancheng and Lang Hu had their heads down with awkward expressions.

They tried to poach someone but never succeeded against Hua Wan Entertainment!

But oddly, Hua Wan Entertainment did not announce signing Nan Xiangwan.

Could it be they wanted to create a social media blast during the show?

From a manager's perspective, that must be it!

Gu Beihuai glanced at the two: The boss of Hua Wan Entertainment is called Shao Fu right? A fat dude.

Zhao Tiancheng's mouth twitched: Boss Shao has a similar build to me, can't call him fat can you?

Gu Beihuai: Give him a call and ask about the situation.

Zhao Tiancheng immediately took out his phone and dialed Shao Fu.

Soon, the call connected.

Shao Fu's voice on the other end was a bit noisy: Yo, Zhao! You actually have time to call me, don't tell me you wanna go drinking?

Zhao Tiancheng: Let's skip the pleasantries. Shao, can you give me the lowdown, did you guys at Hua Wan sign Nan Xiangwan?

Shao Fu: Nan Xiangwan? No comment!

With that, he hung up with a snap.

And even blocked Zhao Tiancheng!

Asking about his boss' business?

No way!

The veins on Zhao Tiancheng's forehead bulged as he tried redialing unsuccessfully.

He looked at Gu Beihuai with sweat on his forehead: Boss Gu, you see?

Gu Beihuai gestured and got up to leave the rest area.

Zhao Tiancheng and Lang Hu both heaved a sigh of relief, exchanging knowing glances at the shock in each other's eyes.

The Boss was clearly angry!

Not getting Nan Xiangwan was worth getting this mad over?

Lang Hu started packing up: I'm heading out first, I need to be at the recording venue otherwise Teacher Gu wouldn't give those media people any face!

Zhao Tiancheng: Go on, I'll keep watch here.

Lang Hu patted his shoulder: Don't overthink it, Teacher Gu just saw potential in Nan Xiangwan as a good prospect. Hua Wan Entertainment has always been our rival, they must have caught wind of something!

Zhao Tiancheng: I saw Teacher Gu's face, cold like someone stole his wife!

Lang Hu jumped in fright, quickly stopping him: Watch what you say!

Zhao Tiancheng hurriedly slapped himself: Slip of the tongue! I meant Teacher Gu looked like he lost several billion!

Lang Hu had an intriguing expression: Nan Xiangwan's commercial value might really be worth billions.

Zhao Tiancheng covered his chest: Don't say anymore, you're making me feel worse.

Lang Hu: I feel bad too, I'm off, see you later.

Zhao Tiancheng waved as he walked into another rest area.

Here, stylist Monica had already been waiting for a while.
