Chapter 251

In a five-star hotel, Zhang Rui, the chief director of The Singer, was chatting with several singers.

Zhang Rui: "Everyone, do your best tomorrow! I won't treat you seniors to drinks today to avoid affecting your performance."

Yang Rongjun: "Director Zhang is too courteous. May I ask the identities of the other three singers?"

Wu Sisi: "Yes! The seniors are all here. I'm so nervous being the most junior with the least seniority and youngest."

Zhang Rui: "Don't worry. There's an even younger newcomer!"

Quan Yu: "Who? A newcomer straight into this? What a bold calf!"

Zhang Rui: "Prominent background. You'll know tomorrow."

Zhao Xianying: "Prominent background? I see!"

Zhang Rui: "Hehe, yes. I haven't seen her rehearse either. As an idol debut, her skills definitely aren't great."

Zhou Hanfei: "An idol? Very popular? That's troublesome. The competition is based on audience votes!"

Zhang Rui: "No use. The program team has directly filtered out votes from those under 18 to prevent fans from overly influencing the seniors' performance."

Yang Rongjun: "Thank Director Zhang! My fans are older and may not understand voting. I really fear losing to the youngsters!"

Zhang Rui: "The planning considered fairness! Minors should have protections yet also limitations. Adults naturally have higher self-discipline and fairness."

The singers all gave a thumbs up. But they were secretly competing!

After Zhang Rui left, everyone dispersed to their rooms.

Elsewhere.

After being kicked off set, Tan Shen was sent directly back to Shang Hai. He pretended nothing had happened and had his assistant Xiao Chen drive him back to his apartment.

Xiao Chen felt uneasy enroute: "Teacher Tan Shen, you're not going back to the villa?"

Was it because of the incident with the stray dog that made Teacher Tan Shen uncomfortable about returning to the villa?

Xiao Chen started feeling guilty and regretful again, driving extra carefully.

Tan Shen: "The apartment is closer to downtown. Faster please, Xiao Chen. I'm in a rush."

Xiao Chen: "Ok, ok!"

He drove faster but remained vigilant.

After returning to the apartment, Xiao Chen left.

Tan Shen went upstairs alone, entered, and turned on the lights.

The next second -

Bang!

He kicked the dining chair!

'KanKanWo: Why can't minors vote? Most of WanWan's fans are minors! Doesn't that mean we'll lose?'

'Nan Nannuan: Real strength showdown! We won't lose! Believe in WanWan!'

'QingXiu: Yes! Nan XiangWan forever awesome! Go Nan Wang!!!'

(...)

After rehearsals, Nan XiangWan returned to Ji Mansion Apartment 2202.

As her agent, Cheng Xue had to manage not just Nan XiangWan but also Zhu Sha and other company artists, thus was very busy.

So after rehearsals ended, Cheng Xue had left.

Chauffeur Xiao Dong first dropped Nan XiangWan off at the basement carpark.

Xiao Dong: "Boss Nan, please go up first. I'll grab the stuff."

Nan XiangWan peered at the trunk: "What stuff? Food?"

Xiao Dong: "Yes, vegetables and meat for your breakfast and lunch tomorrow."

Nan XiangWan: "Let me help."

She was about to carry them when Xiao Dong swiftly brought out a mini trolley to neatly place the big basket of ingredients. So easy.

Nan XiangWan's hands paused mid-air. She silently put them down.

What a clever Xiao Dong!

Up in apartment 2202, Xiao Dong busied himself storing things - fridge items in the fridge, prepping items to be prepared.

Despite the late hour, he was a tiny whirlwind.

Nan XiangWan went to grab a cola from the fridge...

Pa!

Xiao Dong slapped her hand away and glared angrily!

Nan XiangWan: "......"

Xiao Dong: "You're competing tomorrow! Do you still care about your voice? Drinking something so cold will affect your vocal condition!"

Nan XiangWan: "No, it won't affect me."

Silly boy, her voice talent's specialization makes her very resilient!

Xiao Dong: "I'm staying over tonight to watch you and stop you eating rubbish."

Nan XiangWan suddenly said: "The way you manage me is very reminiscent of someone."

Xiao Dong didn't even lift his head: "Who? Your mum?"

Nan XiangWan: "No, not her."

She then turned and headed to the master bedroom to sleep.

It was fine for Xiao Dong to stay since there were plenty of rooms. Furthermore, he seemed far from done with his frantic prep.
