Chapter 300 - Jade Awards (I)

~Knock~Knock~

Xu Nuan was helping Pan Lan to adjust her costume when she heard a knock on the door. She turned around to see who it was and when the door was pushed open, the corners of her lips fell to see Wang Meili and the leader of the Pretty girls, Rin Rin was standing at the door. 

Wang Meili entered the room and looked around the green room with creases on her forehead and took a deep breath. 

They're just rookies and yet they got the private green room, that too a large one. She frowned. 

Since Pretty Girls had decent rankings on the chart, they were invited to the award ceremony, but unlike 'The Knights', they weren't invited to perform on the stage. 

They have been nominated for the 'Rookie of the Year award along with 'The Knights, but that's the only award they have been nominated for. However, she was confident that they would get the award this time. 

'The Knights' might be gaining popularity from the domestic as well as the international fans, but Pretty Girls are gaining decent attention from the public too and are known for their fairy-like innocent visuals. 

The rookie of the year is based on the music charts and the voting from the public. Even though 'The Knights' are doing great these days, Pretty Girls are not behind and there is a neck-to-neck competition between them. Their innocent and cute concept can make anyone fall for them. 

Soon everyone will realize that Pretty Girls are way better than The Knights. 

She will make sure of that.

Xu Nuan walked to them and stood in front of Wang Meili, " Manager Wang, what a pleasant surprise! Are you here to cheer on the girls for their performance later?"

Wang Meili frowned and exchanged glances with Rin Rin. She cleared her throat and scoffed, " Do you think they can perform without making any mistake later?"

" It's almost time for the performance and they aren't even ready yet. If it would have been me, I would have made sure that everything would be perfect and unlike you, I wouldn't have been making last-minute arrangements." 

She scoffed to see Pan Lan, who was still getting the last-minute costume adjustments, meanwhile, Song Ai was also fixing her makeup. It's so chaotic here. 

When they should have been resting and calming themselves, they are busy doing the last-minute adjustments. It all should have been checked earlier. 

" As I expected, you aren't as great as everyone thinks of you. Xu Nuan, your girls are doing fine not because you're amazing. It's because...your luck is good. You won't be this lucky next time."

Pan Lan pursed her lips and exchanged glances with the others.  Wang Meili doesn't leave a chance to look down on Xu Nuan in any way. 

" Ms. Wang, it's not Xu Nuan's-

Xu Nuan held Pan Lan's hand and stopped her from interfering in their banter. She shook her head at her and turned to Wang Meili and chuckled, "You're right. They're doing great not because of me, but because they're talented. And being talented is also a kind of luck that...you don't have." she commented and glanced at the girl standing beside Wang Meili. 

Rin Rin was chosen as the leader of Pretty Girl, not because she was the eldest of the group or the most talented one, but because she was the daughter of one of the trustees of the company. 

And she knows this truth very well. She wouldn't have gotten the chance to debut if Wang Meili had not insisted on keeping her, just to impress the trustees. 

However, despite knowing that she lacks the talent, Rin Rin doesn't leave a chance to look down on her girls. Just like Wang Meili, she is no good as a leader either. She is simply a pretty face with no talent and uncontrolled arrogance. 

The girl pursed her lips upon hearing Xu Nuan's comment and frowned. How dare she? 

" You!! Who do you think you are? Huh? You're just a mere manager. You should be glad that Ms. Wang gave you the opportunity to create your group out of the trash that she intended to throw out and yet you're being cheeky in front of her?" She lost her temper upon hearing Xu Nuan's provocative words. 

Wang Meili glanced at Rin Rin but didn't say anything. For once, she was saying something appropriate. 

Xu Nuan smirked to see Rin Rin defending Wang Meili and smiled. She is trying too hard. Too bad she isn't in the mood to deal with her, otherwise, she would have taught her a good lesson. 

" Why aren't you saying anything? Huh? Now you can't find any words? Should I teach you how-

Rin Rin was furious to see that Xu Nuan was not responding and was just smiling at her. She should apologize to her yet she was smiling shamelessly in front of her. 

She is the daughter of the trustee of the company. If she wants, she can kick her out of the company. How dare she mock her and laugh at her in front of everyone?

"Argh... Who is barking so loudly? Annoying!"

As she was speaking, she heard a lazy, indifferent voice from behind. She frowned at being cut off in her words and gritted her teeth. 

Although she values her innocent yet elegant image, she hates being cut off too. Even her parents never cut her off in her words, who the hell is interrupting her now? 

She turned around with glum expressions and was ready to teach the other person who interrupted her, however, she forgot her words when she saw the person standing at the doorway. 

" H..Han Liang?" Her mouth fell to see Han Liang, who was standing at the door. His one hand was on his waist, while he was holding a bouquet of white flowers in the other hand. 

He was wearing a black shirt, made of soft and shining material and black trousers. His hair was styled back with hair gel, meanwhile, his smokey eye makeup was to die for. He was looking like an evil immortal in this costume and was looking breathtaking.

[OMG!!OMG!!OMG!!] Her heart was racing fast and her palms become sweaty to see him in front of her. 

He is her idol, one and only!! She has all of his signed albums and wanted to become an idol because of him. However, she wasn't expecting to see him here like this. 

Han Liang glanced at her and raised brows to see her staring at him dreamily. He didn't heed her any attention and walked to Xu Nuan, passing by Wang Meili and Rin Rin who were standing in the way. 

He shoved the bouquet in Xu Nuan's hands and said coolly, " Here! I still can't believe that you're an artist manager now. Argh, so annoying." 

Xu Nuan raised her brows to see the bouquet and couldn't help but laugh at the way he handed her the flowers. He is trying hard to look cool but for her, he will always be the dumb-headed prince.
