Chapter 28

Soon, the day of the performance arrived.

The day before, everyone had gone through a full dress rehearsal.

The order of going on stage was decided by drawing lots, avoiding any unfairness.

On the morning of the official performance day, all the trainees began nervously getting their hair and makeup done.

With a hundred trainees, the makeup artists were rushed off their feet!

Some big companies, in order to make their trainees look better on stage, would pay out of their own pockets for hair, makeup, etc.

Although the program team also had very good makeup artists, with so many people it was hard to avoid being overwhelmed, and any small mistakes in makeup or hairstyling could happen.

It was better to avoid any problems that could be avoided!

This was tacitly understood by everyone!

The program team was also happy to have these company makeup artists take some of the pressure off.

Early in the morning, many cars were already waiting outside.

They were all there to pick up trainees!

Ge Dongxuan was the first to be taken away, although she was a new trainee, she had a natural singing voice, and was now Huangtian Entertainment's darling.

The next batch was the trainees from Huawan Entertainment, seven people split between two vans.

Zhu Sha and Yu Jingting sat in the same van, along with another Huawan trainee.

Three people altogether.

But the atmosphere in the car was very strange!

That Huawan trainee sat in the back, not daring to make a sound.

Yu Jingting smiled coldly at Zhu Sha: "I'll give you one last chance, make sure to trip Nan Xiangwan on stage today, best if you make her fall flat on her face, got it?"

Zhu Sha was expressionless: "I'm also refusing your request one last time, don't ask me to do these kinds of things again, I won't do it."

Yu Jingting: "Oh Zhu Sha, you can't really think you'll debut smoothly right?"

Zhu Sha looked straight at her: "What are you trying to say?"

Yu Jingting: "I've said it clearly enough, get rid of Nan Xiangwan, and I can give you a debut spot."

Zhu Sha: "Do you think the program team is your family's company?"

Yu Jingting: "The program team isn't my family's company, but I'm the little princess of Huawan Entertainment! If I say you can debut then you can debut, if I say you won't debut, then you can forget about ever appearing on screen in this lifetime!"

Zhu Sha was starting to get angry, and couldn't help but laugh coldly: "Then let's see about that!"

The conversation between the two was full of gunpowder.

The trainee in the back was already scared silly, frantically putting on headphones and turning up the volume.

Listen to music, gotta listen to music at max volume.

Pretend I didn't hear anything!

At 9:30 in the morning, Nan Xiangwan walked out the door.

She got into a luxury van.

A GMC Savana passenger van, a top of the line van worth over 2 million RMB, with luxurious

first-class leather sofas inside.

This was a brand new imported van bought specially to pick up the boss!

The boss was special, how could she ride in a van that other artists had ridden in before?

It had to be brand new!

Anything less wouldn't befit the boss's status!

Shao Fu, the CEO of Huawan Entertainment, was sitting in the van, coming personally to pick her up.

He had a medium stout build, wore black-framed glasses, his hair was somewhat sparse, and looked to be in his forties.

When Shao Fu saw Nan Xiangwan get into the car, he was so excited!

"Boss, you've suffered! Did they mistreat you? Was it especially difficult?" Shao Fu handed Nan Xiangwan a bottle of Parisian perfume.

Nan Xiangwan waved her hand dismissively, looked Shao Fu up and down.

Hmm, he looked kind, but that didn't mean he wasn't a wolf in sheep's clothing.

It was just that he spoke too dramatically.

In the passenger seat up front was a woman around 30 years old, who greeted them, "Hello Boss, I'm Huawan Entertainment's manager Cheng Xue."

Nan Xiangwan nodded, then started chugging down water.

Shao Fu and Cheng Xue didn't say anything, just quietly waiting for her to finish drinking.

When she was done, Nan Xiangwan put the empty bottle aside, and leaned back in her seat.

"Let's talk later, I'm too tired so I'm going to take a nap first."

Shao Fu and Cheng Xue immediately lowered their breathing.

The two didn't dare speak or disturb the boss's rest, and started texting each other on their phones instead.

Shao Fu: "The boss must have been mistreated! She has dark circles under her eyes! I'm going to accuse the program team of not letting the boss rest properly!"

Cheng Xue: "President Shao, didn't you watch the livestream? Those dark circles are from the boss studying vocabulary!"

Shao Fu: "Oh, is that so? The boss is so hardworking!"

Cheng Xue: "..."

This van had just left.

And then a brand new Mercedes Benz van immediately pulled up.

Lang Hu tidied his collar, got in with a slight smile. These past few days in order to successfully woo Nan Xiangwan, he had often watched the livestream.

Now he could say he knew Nan Xiangwan very well.

He knew she started physical training every morning at 6, training for two and a half hours, then taking a shower afterwards.

Now it was 9:30, the timing was just right.

Lang Hu casually grabbed a staff member and asked, "Which dressing room is Nan Xiangwan in?"

Although it was still morning, with so many trainees they had already started lining up to get hair and makeup done.

Lang Hu had come this time to pick up Nan Xiangwan and take her to Nanbei Entertainment's headquarters, where stylists, costume designers, makeup artists etc. were already prepared.

Nan Xiangwan had to make a stunning debut on the first performance stage!

The staff member was very busy, and answered while rushing around: "Nan Xiangwan? She was picked up by Huawan Entertainment's people!"

Lang Hu shuddered in shock, frozen in place.

Nan Xiangwan, was picked up by Huawan Entertainment?

She was taken away?

Taken away!!!

Once he reacted, Lang Hu was furious: "When did she leave? Which car was it? What did it look like?"

Staff: "She just left less than 5 minutes ago, don't remember the car, but it was a van!"

Lang Hu immediately spun around and rushed out.

Damn!

Huawan Entertainment was actually poaching from them?

Chase them!!!

Huawan Entertainment's three vans, one was a top of the line GMC Savana, the other two were about 200,000 RMB Buick GL8's.

The vans for transporting trainees wouldn't be too extravagant of course, arranging 200,000 RMB vans to pick them up, Huawan Entertainment was already considered one of the most generous companies to new artists in the industry!

The three vans traveled down the same stretch of road, heading towards Huawan Entertainment's headquarters.

Naturally, the GMC Savana van that Nan Xiangwan was in lagged quite a distance behind the other two vans up ahead.

At an intersection, the traffic light turned red.

The driver gently pressed the brake, not allowing even the slightest bump to let the boss feel uneasy.

Shao Fu and Cheng Xue remained silent the whole way, not disturbing Nan Xiangwan's rest.

The boss was only 17, still growing! What's wrong with letting her sleep a bit more!

If it came down to it, they just wouldn't participate in the afternoon performance!

Sleep!

Just then, a Mercedes Benz V-Class van on the parallel lane beside them suddenly zoomed past with a whirr!

Barreling straight towards the glaring red light, utterly disregarding it!

Whether it was the driver or Shao Fu and Cheng Xue, they were all stunned for a moment.

Running a red light!

And so brazenly, not even afraid of being pulled over by traffic police.

But it wasn't any of their business, they lowered their heads and continued looking at their phones.
