The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 253

On the way, Mantou started complaining, "Why is this so slow! How can this plane fly so slowly! Oh my god, I can't stand it anymore. Can I go replace the pilot?"

Gu Beihuai put on earplugs for himself, ignoring him.

Lan Tianyou said, "Commander Mantou, don't worry. I think it's flying very fast already."

Mantou: "No, you don't understand! I'm really about to go crazy!"

He flies fighter jets, so he can't stand the speed of civilian airplanes.

And this was flying too smoothly, without any feeling of being on an airplane at all.

Mantou felt saddened!

Two hours later, under Mantou's chattering, the three people arrived at the Magic City airport.

Gu Beihuai grabbed his bag and walked away, ignoring the two.

One was chattering, the other was depressed.

He also didn't know what was going on with these two!

Mantou quickly caught up with Gu Beihuai and started shouting, "No way, you have to take me along! I came all this way, I want to go too!"

Gu Beihuai was truly about to go crazy: "If you shut up I'll take you along."

Mantou: "Okay! I'll call Jiechou along too."

Gu Beihuai: "..."

Also bringing a follower?

Too much!

The two quickly disappeared into the crowd, leaving the airport.

In the end, only Lan Tianyou was left standing alone in confusion at the original spot.

Where should he go? What should he do?

Did anyone tell him why he was here?

Ah!!!

There was no other way. He had to find his agent.

Just as Lan Tianyou opened his phone to make a call, he suddenly saw a message from his agent.

With lots of exclamation points, all kinds of congratulations.

When Lan Tianyou opened it, he almost cried out!

The movie "Trembling Starry Sky" had confirmed its premiere date over the Lunar New Year, and even had an official Weibo account.

On the official Weibo, there was a notice officially announcing the cast list for some supporting roles, which included the second male lead, @Lan Tianyou.

The female lead and first male lead were kept as a mystery without being announced.

Lan Tianyou almost fainted from happiness right then!

Today's events were too bizarre. He even thought he had been kicked off the crew, but unexpectedly he had been given a big push instead.

It was confirmed that he himself would play the second male lead, it wouldn't change!

In his excitement, Lan Tianyou became puzzled again.

Why did they still abandon him at the airport then?

Wuwuwu!

Heavenly King, what exactly are you thinking!

--------------

Tan Shen was also keeping up to date in real time. When he saw the official Weibo for "Trembling Starry Sky" appear and announce the lead and supporting cast members, the table in front of him suffered again.

He was so angry he wished he could kill someone!

After just kicking him out of the crew, they then confirmed the new choice for second lead right away.

They even announced it officially on Weibo?

Too outrageous!

Filled with resentment, Tan Shen took out a backup phone and opened WeChat.

This WeChat account was called TS. No one knew it was him.

Flipping through the contacts, it was full of entertainment reporters or anti-fan agencies.

Finding the one he cooperated with frequently, Tan Shen sent over three edited drafts.

The other party quickly replied.

"Buy Anti-fan Leader: Boss, what's this for?"

"TS: Three written drafts, release them one by one, get more cyber navy and big V's to build momentum. The times are 5 pm, 6 pm and 8 pm respectively, precisely on time."

"Buy Anti-fan Leader: No problem for the first two, but I'm afraid our studio can't accept doing anti-fan attacks against Nan Xiangwan! "

"TS: Add money."

"Buy Anti-fan Leader: How much to add?"

"TS: Deposit of 5 million, another 5 million after it succeeds!"

This time Tan Shen went all out. Aside from editing the drafts himself, he also put in 10 million in one go to get things done properly.

What he wanted was one strike to succeed completely!

"Buy Anti-fan Leader: Deal."

"Buy Anti-fan Leader: There's no absolute refusal to take a job in this world, only whether the price is met. You get it, brother."

"TS: Don't worry, as long as the public opinion effect is achieved, the money will be transferred immediately."

"Buy Anti-fan Leader: Too awesome, brother! We already received your deposit and will start operating immediately."

-------------

5 pm.

Gu Beihuai, Mantou, and Jie Chou appeared at a high-end Chinese restaurant.

It was a small square table. Gu Beihuai sat in his seat, quietly picking dishes and eating.

Mantou and Jiechou chattered without end!

Jiechou: "Ahhh! A live performance from Baobao!"

Mantou: "Thank me for it. I specially asked you to come."

Jiechou: "Mantou, you're a such a good buddy!"

Mantou: "Of course! When I saw how the fox looked I knew he was here to watch the live show. Hehe, I bought tickets on the same flight as him right there."

Jiechou: "Mantou you're so smart! There's no way to buy tickets for this show. Only 300 viewing spots total which were all divided among industry insiders - musicians, company presidents, behind the scenes staff etc. We little fans basically have no chance to get spots. It's as hard as ascending to heaven."

Mantou: "I know right? When I saw the info online I started watching that fox right away. And I caught him alright, hahaha!"

Gu Beihuai put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "So you were secretly playing on your phone again, huh?"

Mantou instantly shut his mouth and lowered his head to eat.

Crap, caught red handed!

Jiechou also shut up along with him. He had to side with Mantou, or they'd be no match for the fox.

Seeing the two finally quiet down, Gu Beihuai was speechless.

He just wanted to see the little deer's live performance. How did he get stuck with these two leeches?

So annoying!

But just as they were eating, Jiechou suddenly opened his eyes wide in shock and yelled dramatically, "Hey hey, fox! There's some scandal against you online!"

Gu Beihuai wasn't concerned. "Whatever, let them talk."

Jiechou was a curious cat who loved to keep up with gossip. He browsed his phone while eating and gave updates from time to time: "Claiming Gu Beihuai manipulates feelings, suppresses others with money and power... Basically just trash talking about you..."

Gu Beihuai: "Suppressing with money and power, I love hearing that."

Mantou: "Let me take a look too."

They put their heads together to read the online scandal against Gu Beihuai with great interest.

But soon, the scandal became boring.

Because waves of fans of the Heavenly King charged in to get control of the situation.

Every sentence in the scandal was picked out and given thorough analysis with comprehensive reasonable explanations.

It was far too normal for the Heavenly King to be scandalized like this given his fame. His fans were long used to it.

Their ability to control the scene and counter attacks was unmatched!

These minor scandals, both real and fake, weren't worth mentioning at all. Many fans even praised Gu Beihuai for his overflowing talents and ability to make money.

Mantou and Jiechou followed along the whole time, yelling awesome repeatedly.

These fans had it down pat in every way, taking it all in stride without any panic.

Very quickly, in less than 40 minutes, they were victorious driving back the anti-fan attack!

The crowds eating melon were also a bit disappointed, thinking there would be some huge scandal.

But this was it? Given Gu Beihuai's current Heavenly King status and wealth was normal right? How was this even a scandal?

So boring!

Mantou went back to his own seat to continue eating.

Lame! It was less interesting than if he was the one doing the revealing. He knew way more things after all.

Gu Beihuai didn't pay attention the whole time. He didn't even pick up his phone to take a look, just wholeheartedly enjoying the fine cuisine.

You can't eat stuff like this in the military base. It was rare for him to come out, so he should eat more.

At 6 pm, Jiechou suddenly yelled again dramatically, "Holy crap! Melon on top of melon!"
