The Queen's Rise to the Top

291 - 300

Chapter 291

Nan XiangWan slept until late in the evening and woke up groggily, groping for her phone.

Gu Beihuai: It's 5 o'clock, are you awake?

Gu Beihuai: It's 6 o'clock, want to eat?

Gu Beihuai: Wake up and come to my house, I've made some dishes.

Gu Beihuai: [Picture]

The photo showed Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup, sweet and sour ribs, stir fried chicken offal, roasted squab, crystal dumplings, fish soup...

Nan XiangWan sprang up with a grunt!

She hurriedly got changed, washed up, and rushed out with messy hair.

The fence between the two families' aerial garden had disappeared, and the ground was also flattened, but there were still some bumps.

Nan XiangWan was a little doubtful. She didn't need to climb over the fence today!

Sure enough, she could already smell the aroma of dishes even before she arrived, making her salivate.

It had been so long since she ate her comrade's home cooking. She missed it.

The sliding door wasn't locked. Nan XiangWan could go right in, rushed downstairs, and the dining room was filled with fragrant smells.

Gu Beihuai wiped his hands and dished out rice: "Eat up, little lazy pig."

Sleeping from morning till night, that's just you.

Nan XiangWan sat down and started eating. She hadn't eaten her fill at breakfast anyway, and was extremely hungry now.

Gu Beihuai ate slowly and neatly, casually turning on the TV to watch entertainment news.

Both he and Nan XiangWan had been busy with military district training and filming variety shows recently, so they didn't pay attention to gossip from the industry. He wondered if there was any explosive news.

Nan XiangWan was focused on eating, but suddenly heard an uncomfortable voice from the screen.

She looked up. It was an interview with Tan Shen.

Gu Beihuai's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he didn't change the channel.

On screen, Tan Shen was dressed appropriately with a sincere, gentle smile on his face.

Tan Shen: "I'm sorry everyone. I've disappointed you all."

He apologized first, then slowly started explaining.

He said many things, the key points being that seeing a vicious dog bite someone when he was little gave him a fear of stray dogs. So killing the dog was an accident, etc.

Nan XiangWan slammed down her chopsticks!

She was itching to leap into the screen and punch Tan Shen.

Gu Beihuai rapped the table gently. "Eat your food."

Nan XiangWan picked up her chopsticks again. It was all her favorite meaty dishes.

Oh well, it was for the sake of the food.

Gu Beihuai glanced at online opinion trends. As expected, major platforms already had negative commentaries ready.

That Tan Shen could still continue mixing in the industry despite public condemnation meant that this PR move was very successful. There must be major backers and capital involved behind the scenes.

A smile suffused with competitive spirit curved Gu Beihuai's lips. He didn't know who was backing Tan Shen, but his South-North Entertainment hadn't competed hard with anyone for years too!
