The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 213

On the second day, Nan XiangWan woke up early to exercise in the morning.

The large stone slabs in the courtyard were still smooth as ever as she stepped on them and began her routine.

Bai Bai, the white alpaca in the corner, glanced at her and started munching on grass.

Aside from being cute, that alpaca's main activity was eating.

As for the meteorite-colored Border Collie, Yun Shi, it seemed to know Nan XiangWan's biological clock and went out early to herd the sheep.

At that moment, it was happily grazing outside with its flock.

Avoiding Nan XiangWan?

Can't fight, so might as well hide?

Hmph!

Huang Shi also woke up early, but he knew that Nan XiangWan would definitely be up even earlier.

Sure enough, when he walked out, Nan XiangWan was almost done with her morning exercise.

Huang Shi rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll make breakfast, you go take a shower."

Nan XiangWan replied, "Okay! I'll go wake them up!"

Huang Shi said, "No need, I'm fine with it. Sleep as long as you want."

Nan XiangWan tilted her head and said, "Alright then."

She showered and blow-dried her hair.

She blew and blew, but her hair wouldn't dry, making her a bit annoyed.

This long hair was really getting in the way!

So, she happened to spot a pair of scissors nearby.

Hmm, why not cut it!

...

Zhu Sha set her alarm clock for 9:30 a.m. Although Huang Shi had specifically said they didn't need to wake up early yesterday, Zhu Sha couldn't afford to slack off.

This wasn't the familiar variety show they were used to, nor was it the familiar production team. It wasn't Hua Yuanwu or Zhao Tiancheng.

There was no reason for unconditional favoritism.

She couldn't let the audience think that the Fate Girl Group was lazy, and she definitely didn't want to leave a bad impression on Huang Shi.

So after Zhu Sha got up, she quietly went to wake up her teammates.

Perhaps it was the excitement of being in the field, or maybe they just had a good night's sleep, but everyone obediently got up, even Ge Dongxuan didn't lie in.

As soon as they came out, they saw that breakfast was already prepared in the yard.

Huang Shi was sitting there, drinking porridge, and there was a short-haired girl sitting opposite him, with her back to the group.

Zhu Sha hurriedly approached and said apologetically, "Teacher Huang, we woke up late."

Huang Shi exclaimed, "Oh, you guys are up so early! I thought young people liked to sleep in, but it seems every young person I meet is more diligent than the last."

Sha Ling asked, "Is there anything we can help with?"

Huang Shi replied, "No need, breakfast is ready. Sit down and eat. You're still young, don't worry too much!"

Everyone sat down with smiles on their faces.

Then, all six pairs of eyes turned to look at the girl with short hair.

They had just been about to ask, who was she?

She sat up so straight!

But when they took a closer look...

Damn it! It's Nan XiangWan!

Why did you cut your hair???

Nan XiangWan looked cool and spirited with her short hair, waving at the six of them and saying, "Hey!"

Zhu Sha's eyes widened, and she stuttered, unable to speak.

Ge Dongxuan slammed the table and exclaimed, "Nan XiangWan! Your hair! Ah!"

Sha Ling covered her chest and said, "It hurts my heart. Such long hair, gone."

Nan XiangWan tilted her head and said, "Don't you think long hair is troublesome?"

Every time she finished her morning exercise, her hair would be drenched in sweat, and it would take forever to wash and dry.

Plus, she had specifically asked Feng Kai Ji, and he said it didn't matter, it wouldn't affect the filming.

The movie was a sci-fi war film, and the protagonist's role was a Star Federation Major General. Short hair was not only acceptable but even fitting.

So Nan XiangWan decisively made the cut without hesitation!

Splendid!

Immediately, everyone started examining Nan XiangWan's hair.

Compared to before, it was much shorter, but not quite a buzz cut, rather a shoulder-length bob.

To be honest, it looked quite attractive, with a unique charm.

Her face seemed invincible with any hairstyle!

Ge Dongxuan: "This haircut is a work of art!"

Deng Si Nan: "Ah Wan, how did you manage to cut it like this?"

Nan XiangWan: "I just took a pair of scissors and went for it."

Zhu Sha shook her head: "Ordinary people wouldn't be able to achieve this, it's perfect without any flaws."

Nan XiangWan shrugged: "Just need to be quick with your hands."

Yun Qian: "Hey, when did you become so capable?"

Zhou Wenxia: "Haha, I think it looks great."

Sha Ling: "No matter what, Nan XiangWan always looks good."

Nan XiangWan continued to eat her breakfast while simultaneously checking her unread messages on her phone.

She usually enjoyed watching videos, especially those related to the mysteries of the universe.

But when she got busy, she wouldn't constantly be glued to her phone; instead, she would focus on dealing with such trivial matters during meal times.

At this moment, after finishing her conversation with Feng Kai Ji, she noticed a message from Nan ChaoYang.

He had sent it late last night and there were quite a few messages.

In essence, he mentioned that their parents had been arguing and asked her for advice on what to do.

Nan ChaoYang acted all tough outside, but ever since being suppressed by his older sister, his cowardly and submissive nature gradually revealed itself.

Whenever something happened, he would seek his sister's help!

He was especially similar to their previous aggressive yet fearful pet, the Red Cloud Colt.

Nan XiangWan turned her head and contacted Xiao Dong, planning to go home today and see what was going on.

Following that, she clicked on Zhao Tiancheng's profile picture.

'Nan XiangWan: Mr. Zhao, reimbursement for expenses.'

Just a reminder, it was 20,000 yuan!

And while she was at it, Nan XiangWan glanced at the system panel.

The 10-fold cashback for the 100,000 credit limit had been used three times, and the 10-fold online shopping cashback for the 20,000 credit limit had been used twice.

The RICHARDMILLE Skull RM052 watch worth 3.92 million was still sitting at the store waiting to be picked up.

She would take care of everything in one day.

After finishing breakfast, Huang Shi started to get busy, and the seven silly girls all came forward to help.

The fish they caught yesterday!

They had eaten a lot yesterday, but there were still around a hundred fish left, so Huang Shi decided to pickle them.

They would hang them up, let them air-dry, and they could be preserved for a long time.

Everyone got busy, and the process of pickling hundreds of fish was not easy, making everyone sweat profusely.

They kept busy until it was almost lunchtime.

Nan XiangWan suggested, "Shall we have a roast whole lamb for lunch?"

Just mentioning it made her mouth water.

Ever since the last time she had it, she had been craving lamb.

Huang Shi: "Alright, with so many people, let's roast two."

Nan XiangWan: "Can't we roast them all?"

Huang Shi: "Here you go again, yesterday you emptied my fish pond, and today you want to devour all the sheep on my farm?"

Coincidentally, at that moment, Yun Shi returned after herding the sheep.

Just as he was driving the flock into the backyard, he overheard their conversation.

Yun Shi instantly became furious, barking and jumping about!

"Woof! Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof woof woof!"

But no matter how it resisted,

they still slaughtered two sheep!

Roasted whole lamb!

The seven-girl group devoured it with oil dripping from their mouths; it was truly delicious, incredibly delicious.

Huang Shi's cooking skills were unmatched!

Meanwhile, the phones of the Tianming Girl Group kept buzzing with messages throughout the morning.

Yesterday, they suddenly came here without informing their company.

Their respective managers were all in a panic!

Once they found out that the girls were going on this variety show, the managers disappeared one by one and even hinted at performing well.

But by the next afternoon, they started urging them again.

Activities!

Exposure!

They had just released an album and finished their first concert, enjoying immense popularity and success. Wasn't it time to capitalize on it?

They could take it slow on the variety show, but they couldn't stay too long, as it would lead to complacency.

So, under the urging of their own company managers, the silly bunch left this place.

Before leaving, of course, they couldn't miss taking a group photo and posting on Weibo.

After lunch, the seven of them got on a business car.

Huang Shi saw them off and said, "Come visit your old BABY often when you have time!"
