The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 25

Nan XiangWan didn't feel any passion for singing, unlike for dancing where she had great enthusiasm.

She was very energetic.

So in the entire practice room, she was the only one who couldn't muster any spirit from beginning to end.

Yet every time teacher Zhong Lingfei called on her, she could immediately sing it out perfectly without any problems.

This left Zhong Lingfei at a loss for what to say!

This kid was dangerous!

Finally, Zhong Lingfei decided to increase the difficulty for Nan XiangWan.

Rearrangement!

Yesterday's dance assessment, Nan XiangWan and Zhu Sha had rearranged the original dance moves and presented another exquisite stage.

Of course, Zhu Sha did most of the rearranging while Nan XiangWan just followed along.

Today, Zhong Lingfei felt that she couldn't let Nan XiangWan be so slack.

So she called out to Ge Dongxuan: "Ge Dongxuan, you've studied arranging before right?"

Ge Dongxuan nodded: "Mm-hmm, a little bit."

Zhong Lingfei pointed at Nan XiangWan: "You team up with Nan XiangWan and rearrange it, then sing it for me to hear."

Ge Dongxuan: "Okay!"

Nan XiangWan:

Again?

Just then, Zhu Sha suddenly raised her hand on her own initiative: "Teacher, can I join?"

Zhong Lingfei raised an eyebrow: "Sure, the three of you want to team up?"

The other A Class trainees wailed in place.

The strongest trio!

You're not even leaving us a way to survive!

I admit defeat, isn't admitting defeat acceptable?!

And so, the three teamed up.

Zhu Sha and Ge Dongxuan took charge of the rearrangement while Nan XiangWan sat on the floor zoning out.

The two had her sing whatever they wanted and she obediently sang it all, she was obedient and docile.

Livestream comments:

- Nan XiangWan is really so obedient and docile in A Class!

- Obedient Nan XiangWan has arrived!

- I beg the program team to not send Nan XiangWan back to D Class again, the child is clearly more suited to A Class's rhythm!

- I agree with the above! Also with Zhu Sha and Ge Dongxuan's guidance, Nan XiangWan's progress has skyrocketed!

- A Class's atmosphere really is too good! Even Nan XiangWan isn't getting angry anymore!

- Nan XiangWan the docile.

- Hahaha! Back in D Class it felt like Nan XiangWan wanted to jump up and beat people at any time!

- Can Nan XiangWan even rap? What'll happen when it's time for rap practice?

Speaking of rap, Zhu Sha opened her mouth: "Nan XiangWan, want to try rapping?"

Nan XiangWan: ?

What is that???

A flash of amusement passed through Zhu Sha's expression: "Your dancing and singing can't be improved much more, so come learn some rap now. I'll write a verse for you."

Zhu Sha truly felt that Nan XiangWan might be a genius. The sooner she learned, the less she'd need to practice later and could skip right to rearrangement.

What they were doing now was just small stuff.

The real stage assessment would be the performance in a week!

Ge Dongxuan's eyes lit up: "Are we adding rap elements to our rearrangement?"

Zhu Sha nodded: "Add a bit."

Soon, a short verse was written.

Zhu Sha looked to Nan XiangWan: "Want to try it out?"

【Ding!】

【Triggered mission: Element Enhancement】

【Mission content: After specializing in singing and dancing, how can you be missing the currently blazing hot rap element? Please have the host be responsible for the rap portion in the rearranged song, and demonstrate it in tomorrow's assessment】

【Mission reward: Rap specialization】

【Mission failure: Sever one finger】

Nan XiangWan: !!!

Damned system, she'll blow it up if it dares sever her finger!

So Nan XiangWan stood up aggressively: Rap, leave it to me!

Zhu Sha and Ge Dongxuan were both frightened by her sudden explosive aura.

Nan XiangWan was afraid they wouldn't let her do it, afraid the system would sever one of her fingers.

So she pounded her chest vigorously, making loud thudding sounds.

I can do it! I'll take the rap part!

Zhu Sha:

Ge Dongxuan stammered: "You, you don't need to pound yourself so hard."

Zhu Sha: "I'll demonstrate this part first, you follow along and learn it."

With that said, she began a rap teaching session.

Ge Dongxuan watched Zhu Sha admiringly: "Wow! Amazing! I just can't rap!"

Zhu Sha patted Ge Dongxuan's head: "It's fine, you're the high note specialist."

Next, she looked expectantly at Nan XiangWan.

Nan XiangWan cleared her throat, then immediately launched into a segment on the spot.

Perfect, flawless rap enunciation, it left Zhu Sha dumbfounded!

Ge Dongxuan laughed out loud: "Hahaha! Zhu Sha! Your expression is exactly the same as mine just now!"

Zhu Sha was indeed extremely shocked.

She had only demonstrated it once.

Yet Nan XiangWan had learned it!

Not only learned it, but was extremely skilled!

Nan XiangWan, all-rounder!

Zhu Sha seemed to have realized something. She sighed and said: "Nan XiangWan, you're bound to debut with the C position."

Having said that, she also laughed.

It was like meeting a worthy opponent, exciting and thrilling!

The other trainees who were still practicing the original song wailed again.

Ah! Nan XiangWan even learned rap!!

Nan XiangWan, leave me some room to survive!

This learning ability is way too strong!

A powerful idol is about to emerge? Ahh!!!

Livestream comments:

- Shocking!

- Shocking, shocking, shocking!

- Quick, plaster the word "genius" on Nan XiangWan's face!

- Insane! My Nan XiangWan is so amazing!!!

- Nan XiangWan is amazing!! (Cracking voice)

- Can't take it anymore, I'm going to go vote. I didn't dare vote much before, afraid it'd be unfair to the others, but now who cares, I'm voting with all I've got!

- Vote vote vote! Nan XiangWan charge!

Nanbei Entertainment headquarters.

In the top floor office, Gu Beihuai looked at the information on his phone.

It was a segment of surveillance footage that he had people investigate.

The video showed Xi BaiWei pulling Nan XiangWan into a blind spot, and after not too long Xi BaiWei came out alone, with no sign of Nan XiangWan.

Then half an hour later, Nan XiangWan emerged trembling, drenched head to toe in water.

In his messages, the other party was still continuously sending info.

Our people went to investigate on site, the blind spot in the surveillance was the school's pond at the back of the mountain, the water is very deep.

Vicious! Pushing someone into the below freezing water in the dead of winter!

Luckily the girl was resilient and managed to crawl out herself, otherwise if she had drowned or something, she'd be dead.

But there was no capturing of the act itself, so it can't be used as direct evidence to convict. Also the girl didn't seem to have called the police? Nor gone to the hospital for a certificate.

It's already been ten days now so not easy to handle.

Gu Beihuai's brow furrowed, a flash of heartache in his eyes.

Winter, subzero temperatures.

Soaked in the water for half an hour!

And the crucial thing is, the one who pushed her, that BaiWei, actually still filmed her new MV?

It almost got released too.

Gu Beihuai's sculpted features took on a cold, hardened look.

He stared at his phone.

His gaze lingered on one name in his contacts.

It was Chui Ze, the deputy director of "Idol Producer!" and also the original director for Xi BaiWei's new song "Sword Dance" MV.

Xi BaiWei was brought in by Chui Ze.

Gu Beihuai's gaze paused for a second, then his finger slid over and tapped on the name of Idol Producer's chief director, Hua Yuanwu.

He dialed the number.
