The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 17

Zhu Sha knew very well that Nan XiangWan was a raw gemstone.

With just a little refinement, what would be revealed is undoubtedly the potential of a top-tier idol.

What Nan XiangWan lacked was merely comprehensive training.

And this trainee debut program was precisely a comprehensive training institution!

Once two months passed, Nan XiangWan would undergo a complete transformation.

Zhu Sha couldn't even estimate how far Nan XiangWan would eventually go.

As they walked out of the practice room, they encountered other trainees coming out from their respective rooms.

Seeing Zhu Sha and Ge Dongxuan walking together, laughing and talking, the other trainees wanted to strike up a conversation, but ultimately, none of them approached.

Zhu Sha was simply too formidable!

And Ge Dongxuan had been praised by the mentor as having a divine voice.

The two of them were in a completely different league from the others!

From Practice Room D, Yu Jingting immediately spotted Zhu Sha and Ge Dongxuan in front.

She walked up quickly.

She patted Zhu Sha on the shoulder!

Yu Jingting: Zhu Sha! Let's have a meal together?

Zhu Sha frowned, but she did not refuse.

Ge Dongxuan smiled and took a step back. "Your teammate is here, I'll go ahead."

After saying that, she ran into the cafeteria.

Yu Jingting stared at Ge Dongxuan's departing figure, her expression not too good.

But she held onto Zhu Sha's hand, tightening her grip.

Zhu Sha still didn't refuse and walked into the restaurant with Yu Jingting.

As soon as they entered, they saw Nan XiangWan, who was devouring her meal at a table!

That expression, that demeanor, the speed of eating...

It was as if a famished pig!

Zhu Sha wanted to laugh, but in the end, she didn't.

However, she didn't go to Nan XiangWan's table, instead, she picked up her own lunch and sat at another table.

At this table were the trainees from Hua Wan Entertainment, a total of seven people.

Apart from Zhu Sha, who received an A grade, Yu Jingting was a D, while the others were all B.

The trainees from Hua Wan Entertainment were all quite capable!

If it weren't for the excessively strict mentor, all seven of them would have aimed for an A.

Although this was a program where individuals competed for their debut, most people had their own management companies. After the training in the practice room, the trainees usually continued to stay with their company members.

Because ultimately, it was the original company that provided resources.

Regardless of whether they debuted or not, they still had to listen to their original company!

And having a company was better than being an individual trainee without one.

During the subsequent performance stage, the company would provide additional funds for their image and prepare their costumes.

Yu Jingting didn't directly look at Nan XiangWan but kept casting cold glances from the corner of her eyes!

Zhu Sha noticed Yu Jingting's gaze and furrowed her brows slightly.

Then she lowered her head and started eating.

The five members of Group B sitting beside her were chatting.

Xi BaiWei, who was at the other table, was particularly obvious.

She glared at Nan XiangWan, wishing she could peel off Nan XiangWan's skin!

Her gaze was so direct that no one dared to speak.

Ge Dongxuan approached Nan XiangWan's table with her lunch.

Ge Dongxuan: "Shall we eat together?"

Nan XiangWan, with a mouthful of food, puffed up her cheeks.

She chewed vigorously, unable to speak.

She just nodded!

Ge Dongxuan looked at the three empty lunch boxes on the table, and her expression cracked for a second.

"How can you eat so much???"

Nan Xiangwan was currently eating her fourth serving.

Ge Dongxuan stared at Nan Xiangwan in astonishment as she finished eight servings.

Eight whole portions of lunch, eaten completely clean!

Then Ge Dongxuan looked at Nan Xiangwan's slender arms and legs.

Ge Dongxuan's emotions exploded, and she exclaimed, "Won't you ever gain weight?!"

Nan Xiangwan finished her last bite and wiped her mouth. "Huh?"

Ge Dongxuan waved her hand dismissively. "Never mind, you can keep eating."

Nan Xiangwan replied, "I'm done eating."

Ge Dongxuan put down her half-eaten food. "I'm not hungry anymore. I have to go back and continue practicing dancing."

Nan Xiangwan said, "Oh, then I'll take a nap."

There was a two-hour lunch break at noon.

Ge Dongxuan said, "Are you a pig?"

After lunch, most of the trainees returned to the practice room.

Several members of Class A were supposed to rest.

However, they were all inspired by the collaboration between Zhu Sha and Nan Xiangwan, so they eagerly went back to continue practicing after finishing their lunch.

In the corridor...

Yu Jingting pulled Zhu Sha aside to a corner.

Zhu Sha asked, "What's up?"

Yu Jingting said, "Nan Xiangwan has joined your group, right? Now there are eight people in Class A."

Zhu Sha replied, "She's only in Class A for dancing. We don't know how well she sings yet."

Yu Jingting's smile twisted slightly. "Zhu Sha, remember that you belong to Hua Wan Entertainment."

Zhu Sha furrowed her brows. "I know."

Yu Jingting continued, "Nan Xiangwan injured herself during practice in Class A. It should be something simple, right? After all, the difficulty and intensity of training in Class A are high."

Zhu Sha asked, "What do you mean?"

Yu Jingting said, "You should understand what I mean."

Zhu Sha took two steps back. "I won't do such a thing."

Yu Jingting approached, staring intently at Zhu Sha. "Are you refusing me? You should know that my father is a high-ranking executive at Hua Wan Entertainment. This show is just a stepping stone. Whether you debut or withdraw, you will still be a contracted artist under Hua Wan Entertainment. If I want to hide you or make you withdraw directly, it's just a matter of my word!"

Zhu Sha said, "Are you threatening me?"

Yu Jingting retorted, "What if I am?"

Zhu Sha sneered and turned to leave.

Yu Jingting raised her voice a few decibels. "Zhu Sha! Stop right there!"

Zhu Sha ignored her and walked into the Class A practice room.

Yu Jingting was furious, but she couldn't chase after her.

Otherwise, it would be seen on the live broadcast!

In the end, Yu Jingting gave Zhu Sha a cold glance and left.

Just you wait!

Zhu Sha!

After finishing lunch, Nan Xiangwan returned to her dorm.

She immediately took off her clothes and lay down on the bed.

She fell asleep instantly!

When she said she was going to take a nap, she really meant it.

No joking around.

Practicing and earning money could wait until the afternoon!

Nan Xiangwan slept soundly, lying in her warm quilt like a little hamster nestled in cotton.

When Xi BaiWei walked in, that was the scene she saw.

Her expression twisted with jealousy!

Coming closer, she could even see Nan Xiangwan's fair cheek and incredibly smooth skin.

Why was Nan Xiangwan so naturally beautiful?

Why did this woman look like this!

Xi BaiWei's jealousy drove her to have a twisted thought.

What if Nan Xiangwan were disfigured?

Xi BaiWei suddenly laughed, wearing an eerie smile.

She looked around in place and noticed a eyebrow razor on the table.

Without hesitation, she reached out and tightly gripped the eyebrow razor in her hand.

If she was caught, she would simply say that she was just trying to help Nan XiangWan with her eyebrows and her hand slipped.

With this thought in mind, Xi BaiWei tightened her grip on the eyebrow razor even more!

She wanted to slash it across Nan XiangWan's face!

But in that split second when she turned around, her eyes met Nan XiangWan's timeless and calm gaze.

Within Nan XiangWan's pitch-black pupils, Xi BaiWei's contorted face was reflected.
