My Evil Genius Wife

Chapter 166 - Let The Game Begin!



Xu Nuan looked around the company's small parking lot which has only a few cars at the moment. Out of those cars, she was looking at a particular black van with black shield windows which was reserved for artists only. 

They needed to leave for the music show in an hour and he called her to give her the car keys to escort the girls carefully to the venue.

This was a surprising move from his side since she was not expecting him to change in just a day. He had clearly told her previously that the facilities such as - practice room, company pantry, and prop room can be used by only the main group, 'Pretty Girls' only, and they were not supposed to use any of those facilities. 

However, his tone changed today when she went to his office. He respectively shook hands with her and even offered her coffee to drink, which she denied of course. Not only that, he asked about the girls schedule that was packed for the next few days. 

They broke all the records and became the first girl group with the most views on their single debut track. However, she was expecting this kind of change in everyone's attitude though. People love to look down on the weak but there are times when the weakest person can overcome their weakness and overpower the strong one. 

" Xu Nuan, Go Go. It's time to work." She stretched her hands and went back inside the company to prepare to leave for the venue.

Xu Nuan looked at the time and realized that it was already 4 in the morning. However, she has no time to rest as the girls went on the stage for camera rehearsal and they are going to perform in a few hours. She didn't go home yesterday as they came directly to the venue since it starts to shoot at night and sometimes takes longer than they had expected. 

Rather than performing, getting their makeup done and endless waiting can be exhausting. They were at a music show venue where girls are going to perform live for the first time and their performance will decide if they could get their first win or not. 

Although there were no major artists coming back with new tracks, there were a few artists who are senior to the girls and have a fairly stable fanbase. The winner of the show will be decided on 70% of the voting (combined both live and online) while only 30% of online views and popularity would be counted. 

She was worried about the voting part since they just debuted and was not sure if they would get enough votes or not. They don't even have a stable fanbase who will vote for them. It's easy to get higher views since people might be curious and watch the MV out of curiosity but getting higher votes is a different thing. And many fans are not so passionate and don't get into voting which is the most important for them to win such shows. 

She glanced at her phone and knitted her brows in disappointment, " What is this? I was out for the whole night and he didn't even call me or message me to ask about my whereabouts. Tsk, seems like he is back to his original self again." she shook her head seeing how his attitude changed only after a day of their date.

" But why is this Wang Meili so quiet? She didn't even come to argue with me when Mr. Tang gave me the van and didn't say anything about the rankings. Is she embarrassed about not fulfilling her goal? Haha, that's interesting." she chuckled thinking about Wang Meili's expressions. 

-

After long rehearsals and waiting, the wait was over. It was now their turn to go up on the stage. Xu Nuan looked at the girls who were ready in their outfits and makeup and was standing in front of her nervously.

She smiled at them, looking at them from head to toe, " Ooh...are you preparing to kill the audience with your sexiness?" She asked, earning a chuckle from them. 

Because of her compliment, the girls who were trembling due to nervousness smiled and took a deep breath, ready to go on the stage. 

They were scared and nervous since they got such high rankings for their debut MV and it only increased the expectations of everyone from them. Their every move will be judged and monitored by the people, and many must be waiting to pull them down. But they need to put their best to prove to everyone that they deserve this position so that they will not disappoint Xu Nuan who believed in them when no one wants them to debut. 

" Fighting!! You can do it. Don't be nervous and just enjoy yourself. Treat the stage as your playground. Everything will be fine."Xu Nuan encouraged them before going up the stage. 

The girls smiled hearing her words and blinked once more before getting on the stage. 

Wang Meili who was standing in the corner of backstage, smirked seeing the girls getting up on the stage. " Xu Nuan, I was not wrong when I said that you're too immature to be an artist manager. You don't even know what accidents can occur during the live stages. Now everyone will see how good your group is." The corner of her lips rose up as she looked at Xu Nuan who was rubbing her hands nervously and smirked.

Online people were going crazy when The Knights got on the stage. It was the live broadcast and the people will vote after watching the performance which will be the main criteria to decide the winner. 

[ Finally! I can't believe that they lined 'The Knights' in the middle. I had to watch all those performances while waiting for my girls. With their rankings, they should be performed in the last or first, since not many people watch the whole show. They put the other group who debuted along with 'The Knights' and was from the same company. They aren't even in the top 50 and they gave the last position to them? Ridiculous. If they had given this to any senior artist, I would have understood but giving the position to them is so unfair. The show is corrupted, I am telling you.]

[' The Knights' are overrated. You should check out the MV of Pretty Girls. They are not only beautiful but the song is very catchy and sweet. Rin Rin is so beautiful while Lai Yi is so ugly. Yaakk!!]

[ Lai Yi is so fat. These girls don't look like idols at all. DISBAND. DISBAND.]

[OH MY GOD!! Please go somewhere else if you're here to spread hate. I checked the other group's song and their song was nothing compared to The Knights.' Their lyrics were plain and were full of repetitive fancy words, with no meaning. Also, other than being beautiful, what else they can offer? There was nothing refreshing in it and they just followed everyone's format debuting with the cutesy concept which doesn't make any sense. The song was boring tbh. The Knights gonna win the show. I am sure.]

Wang Meiling frowned seeing how people were fighting with each other in the comments section. To pull down the ratings of Xu Nuan, she had to spend some money and bought an internet water army to post negative comments about the group, also to stream Pretty Girls MV, to increase the views. 

She wouldn't have done something like this if Xu Nuan hadn't used the dirty way to make her group popular and created that controversy deliberately. Han Liang's fans were not supporting Xu Nuan's group but were also streaming their MV like crazy which helped them to reach this extent. 

" Xu Nuan, You played with me, now I will teach you what it is to be called an experienced manager." She smirked and glanced at a man who was wearing the staff badge. 

She nodded at him and gave him a signal to carry out the plan.

" Let the game begin!!"
