The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 413

Originally, foreign chicks like Monica had good innate conditions and could sing an English song with no problem.

But she just had to sing a traditional-style Chinese song. Good heavens, her Mandarin pronunciation was not very standard at all, sounding weird and off-key!

Zhao Tiancheng next to her grabbed the microphone: "Let me teach you how to sing. You're not singing this right - you need to open up your throat, you get opera-style singing or not?"

Jing Da Shuai couldn't sing at all, the completely tone-deaf kind. He just howled into a mic, sounding even worse than Monica.

Zhao Tiancheng got frustrated by it all in the end. He simply didn't join those two and went to sit next to the seven girls and drink instead.

Seeing him come over, Ge Dongxuan perked up: "Cheers, Boss Zhao?"

Sha Ling nervously put her glass down: "You two better not get drunk again - I'll have to call someone to take you home."

The hot pot restaurant incident last time had spread through the entire entertainment circle.

Sha Ling felt so embarrassed!

Zhao Tiancheng waved his hand: "Don't nag, Ge Dongxuan. I won't drink with you. Come on, I'll drink with Nan XiangWan."

Nan XiangWan was in the middle of snacking on some duck necks. She'd already finished a whole plateful. Just then her name got called out and she blankly lifted her head.

Zhao Tiancheng had already extended his wine glass over, wanting to clink glasses.

Nan XiangWan thought for a bit before grabbing the cola next to her hand to tap glasses with him.

Zhao Tiancheng's eyeballs bulged wide open right then and there: "What the heck, you tapping my beer with cola?!"

Zhu Sha was just about to say 'XiangWan isn't legal age yet', but Zhao Tiancheng's mouth was faster, his next line bellowing out already.

Zhao Tiancheng: "Nan XiangWan! Can't handle it huh?! Can't drink, right?!"

A blatant provocation.

The Heaven's Mandate six felt a bad premonition right then. Crap!

Zhou Wenxia was sitting next to Nan XiangWan and immediately tried to stop things.

The others also promptly stood up, some persuading, some placating.

Nan XiangWan, she...

Couldn't rile her up!

Her competitive streak was off the charts!

But it was too late.

The instant Zhao Tiancheng's words left his mouth, Nan XiangWan's gaze immediately slid over, followed swiftly by her hand grabbing a glass of alcohol off the table.

She downed it in one go!

Slammed the glass heavily back on the table after finishing it.

She was even about to say something else, but her vision started doubling. Her head also instantly felt dizzy, heavy and light all at once.

Her body started swaying along with her head.

Swaying to and fro, to and fro.

Swaying like a pendulum!

Zhu Sha covered her face: "We're screwed!"

Zhao Tiancheng got dragged away by Yun Qian and Deng Si Nan, nearly getting shoved into a corner.

He still didn't get it: "Why are you two doing that?"

Sha Ling sighed: "Boss Zhao!"

Next second: slam!

Nan XiangWan finally tipped over and collapsed onto the sofa, fast asleep.

Zhao Tiancheng: "......"

Oh right, he forgot Nan XiangWan can't drink.

Ge Dongxuan crossed one leg elegantly over the other: "XiangWan isn't legal age yet, Boss Zhao. Getting a minor to drink alcohol, isn't that a bit...?"

As she spoke, she even lifted a hand, making a money gesture.

Zhao Tiancheng's face darkened until it looked like the bottom of a pot. He silently took out his phone to send over a red envelope.

Take the hush money and shut it!

...

The Heaven's Mandate team was having a great time singing in the KTV. They partied so hard they went late into the night.

After downing that one glass, Nan XiangWan conked out and slept like she was dead to the world. The blaring music from the private room didn't rouse her one bit.

In the end, everyone else also got drunk. They were popping and locking hard in the private room.

Seven people: the six Heaven's Mandate members plus Zhao Tiancheng, were the most hype.

Monica and Jing Da Shuai on the other hand were passionately making out amongst the crowd.

Fortunately the lighting was dim so no one noticed what those two were up to.

By 1am, the Heaven's Mandate six were all yawning away, exhausted after the long day. They wanted to head back to the hotel and sleep.

Zhao Tiancheng still wasn't done drinking. After calling the hotel car over to shuttle people back, he ran over to the working staff's private room next door to keep partying.

Zhu Sha and Zhou Wenxia were each holding one of Nan XiangWan's arms, carrying her downstairs. The seven of them split into two cars for the ride back.

It was only halfway through the drive that Zhu Sha suddenly remembered something.

She asked while turning around: "Wait, where are Monica and Jing Da Shuai?"

In the back seat, Ge Dongxuan was hugging a passed out Nan XiangWan, who hadn't woken even once the whole time: still snoring away with each alcohol-reeking breath.

Tipsy Ge Dongxuan had two red splotches high on her cheeks.

She blankly lifted her eyes: "Huh? Who's that handsome guy? XiangWan? Hehehe, I'm rooming with XiangWan tonight!"

Zhu Sha: "......"

Crap, another goner!

She didn't bother asking that one anymore, taking out her phone to call her teammates in the other car instead.

Zhou Wenxia was still relatively clear-headed. She was chatting nonsense at the moment with the other three who were just as smashed as her.

Sha Ling: "Awooo~!"

Yun Qian: "No no, it's awoo awoo~!"

Deng Si Nan: "Obviously it's awoo awoo awoo~!"

The drained Zhou Wenxia couldn't even be bothered to retort. They were fine when they first left. But the bumpy car ride must have rattled their brains around until they got drunk.

Her phone rang with Zhu Sha's call coming in.

Zhou Wenxia picked up, her tone helpless: "Captain, my three here are totally wasted. They're drunk and disorderly."

Zhu Sha: "......"

Zhou Wenxia: "Say something, Captain!"

Zhu Sha: "My side is also..."

"Ahhh I wanna puke!" Ge Dongxuan suddenly shoved Nan XiangWan off her lap. She desperately cranked down the window and started retching out.

Zhou Wenxia: "Sounds about the same huh!"

Zhu Sha rubbed at her temples: "Are all their alcohol tolerances that bad? No more drinking for them next time! Oh right, did you see Monica and Jing Da Shuai? Did they leave with us?"

Zhou Wenxia: "Uh, those two left halfway."

Zhu Sha: "Oh, as long as they're not lost then it's fine. I was worried they'd be left behind drunk at the KTV with no one to take care of them."

Zhou Wenxia: "Jing Da Shuai was definitely drunk. Monica wasn't."

Zhu Sha paused: "You saw that?"

Zhou Wenxia: "They left arm in arm."

Zhu Sha's breath hitched for a second: "Oh, gonna hang up now. Almost there."

Zhou Wenxia: "Teehee!"

After the two cars arrived at the hotel, the driver masters were extremely frustrated.

The passengers were perfectly fine when they went to pick them up earlier. How did they turn into raging drunk lunatics on the drive back?!

Zhu Sha and Zhou Wenxia were sweating bullets, worn out from all their herding and coaxing. They managed to shove the four smashed ones into the elevator. With the hotel staff's help, Zhu Sha jerry-rigged a luggage trolley to load Nan XiangWan's passed out form on.

The bellhop dutifully pushed the trolley, trying his utmost not to laugh.

Thank goodness he was a professional who wouldn't take pictures or spread tales. Otherwise, this scene...hahaha!

They finally got the five wasted ones settled after enormous effort. Zhu Sha and Zhou Wenxia were ready to keel over.

Zhou Wenxia: "Even tougher than touring, I swear!"

Zhu Sha: "Hurry wash up and sleep."

As she spoke, she looked back again. The five had been dumped onto a single bed, too spent to take them back to their own rooms.

It seemed like Ge Dongxuan, Deng Si Nan, Sha Ling and Yun Qian were also tuckered out from their drunken frolicking earlier. They had all slipped into sleep.

Right then, the four were sprawled on the large bed. All lying on their sides, curled up in the same pose and facing the same direction.

Nan XiangWan was the odd one out, splayed horizontally down by the foot of the bed.

Fortunately they all had strict body management so were very skinny. The two meter wide hotel bed somehow managed to perfectly fit their four vertical and one horizontal bodies!
