027 meets a HOOLIGAN AND KICKS HIS ASS!

Zhou Liqing pushed Xiwan towards the front. "This way, this way!"

Everyone was looking at Xiwan with jealousy and surprise flashing in their eyes. Many men whistled. Someone shouted, "Great beauty!"

Even Xiao Yinzheng on the stage had a flash of surprise in his eyes. His manager said that he would take matters into his own hands. What if he drew an unrivaled ugly monster? What should he have said? He said, "My luck has always been good."

But he had only drawn one number, and she really was a killer beauty.

She was so beautiful. Especially her eyes, which were as black as the stars in the night sky.

The host called Xiwan onto the stage. Xiwan said, "I'm only 69, she's 68," as she pushed her Zhou Liqing out in front of her.

Zhou Liqing looked at her in disbelief. "Xiwan!"

"Go up."

Zhou Liqing was still looking at Xiwan. Although she really wanted to have such intimate contact with her idol, the prize was to be the female lead of his MV! Many idols had become famous after being cast in MVs. She and Xiwan had originally planned to enter the industry to earn a living. This was a rare opportunity.

"Are you still going up?" People started to get impatient. Seriously, this was such a good opportunity, yet they were still hesitating?

Xiwan said, "Hurry up and go on."

Qian Mengfei saw that Xiwan really did not want to go up, so she advised, "Liqing, hurry up and go up! Don't leave the idol wait for too long."

Zhou Liqing's eyes were red. "Xiwan, you're my favorite person ever!" Then, under the envious glares of the others, she went up on stage.

The host saw that it was not the killer beauty that he had just seen, but the girl standing before him was quite beautiful. He smiled and said, "She's really a beauty."

Xiao Yinzheng looked at Xiwan and then looked at Zhou Liqing in front of him. He still had a warm smile on his face. "You're very beautiful. I'm really lucky to have found a great female lead for my music video."

Zhou Liqing, her face still red, replied modestly. "Thank you for the compliment, Prince Charming. I'll act well."

The interaction on stage continued. Sun Huayu looked at Xiwan. After a long time, she said, "Xiwan, don't you want to go into the entertainment industry too?"

Xiwan nodded.

"Then you..."

Qian Mengfei didn't understand either. Although they were all good friends, this kind of opportunity wasn't something that could just be given away without consideration.

Xiwan said, "I'll have a lot of opportunities." There was no lack of opportunities. Even though this was a very good one, she had another reason to turn it down: she didn't like Xiao Yinzheng.

Qian Mengfei and Sun Huayu seemed to understand, but they didn't say anything. After all, they were her best friends.

After the prize draw on stage ended the program of other entertainment activities continued. At this point, the staff called the four of them backstage. It must have been inconvenient for them to get them on stage at once.

The smile on Zhou Liqing's face had not faded at all.

"I'm really happy. To be able to see my idol up close, I can't believe it! I feel like my skin looks better after being around him," Zhou Liqing said excitedly.

While they were chatting and laughing they walked through the bar and soon arrived at the backstage of Dark Night. In a large dressing room, Xiao Yinzheng and his manager were talking about something. Beside them, the host and a few staff members were also chatting and laughing merrily. When they saw the four of them enter, they nodded.

The manager seemed to be angry that Xiao Yinzheng had acted on his own initiative. The gift draw had been random. It was not until his assistant said that he was lucky enough to get a great beauty that his ugly expression became a little better. The manager remained mostly skeptical, and said, "Of course she looked great, this is a nightclub! The lighting is flattering and everyone is dripping with makeup. Just how beautiful can this beauty be?"

He saw the four girls walk into the dressing room, and one of them was so beautiful that she looked like she had applied a selfie filter with pink love hearts and bubbles around her face. Her every move was peerlessly beautiful, and the girl next to her was also very dignified and beautiful. The other two were far sloppier, but they still had some potential, he noted to himself. His staff had already said that this girl was a beauty, and he knew instantly who fit that description. It was probably her.

With all of this running through his mind, his manager's eyes lit up. He felt lucky. It was hard to find such natural beauty in the entertainment industry!

He walked towards Xiwan with a smile. "Hello, hello. I'm Xiao Yinzheng's manager."

Xiwan brushed him off straight away. "You've got the wrong person. My friend's the one who was chosen." She looked at Zhou Liqing who was beside her.

The manager felt his cheeks blush. He did not expect to make a mistake. He turned to see that Zhou Liqing was the second beauty of the four. Although she could not be compared to the first girl, she was her own unique beauty. He was very happy. "Haha," he laughed nervously. "Hello, hello. I'm Xiao Yinzheng's manager."

Zhou Liqing smiled awkwardly. "Hello, I'm Zhou Liqing."

"Nice to meet you. I want to discuss a few details about the MV. Shall we go over there?"

"Okay." Zhou Liqing was very happy.

Zhou Liqing and the manager walked to a booth.

Xiwan and the other two sat on the sofa on the other side of the room. Xiao Yinzheng, who was taking a sip of his drink, walked over to Xiwan the girls with a smile on his face. He sat down on a chair beside them, looked at Xiwan, and then looked at the two others. "Hey, do you mind me asking your names?"

Qian Mengfei and Sun Huayu were very excited. They didn't expect their prince charming to be so friendly and kind.

"Hello, Prince Charming, I'm Qian Mengfei."

"Hello, Prince Charming, I'm Sun Huayu."

"Jiang Xiwan."

Xiao Yinzheng's face turned white and he frowned.

"Prince Charming, please don't misunderstand. Our Xiwan is her own person, she simply shares a name as the diva Jiang Xiwan."

Xiao Yinzheng smiled. "You don't seem to like me."

Qian Mengfei and Sun Huayu's faces fell, shocked.

"There are many people who like you." They hoped that he didn't think that either of them did not like him.

Xiao Yinzheng nodded. "Indeed." Then, he got up and walked towards Zhou Liqing.

Qian Mengfei and Sun Huayu looked at Xiwan in confusion. "Hey, Xiwan, you..."

But Xiwan simply smiled and didn't say anything. Qian Mengfei and Sun Huayu stopped gossiping.

On the other side of the room, Zhou Liqing was talking to Xiao Yinzheng's manager.

"Yinzheng is planning to release the album on Christmas Day, so we are going to shoot the music video for the main single at the end of this month. Look at your calendar and see if you're free for any of these dates."

Zhou Liqing frowned. She was no longer a free agent, she remembered, but a trainee of Sky Shadow Media. She wondered if the company would let her participate.

"What's wrong?"

"I just remembered that I just signed a contract with a media company today. I don't know if they'll allow me to be in the MV without permission."

The manager looked at Zhou Liqing in surprise. Xiao Yinzheng must have been really lucky to find an artist who was about to debut.

"Miss, may I ask which media company you are from?"

A trace of pride flashed across Zhou Liqing's heart as she answered. "I just signed with Sky Shadow Media."

"So... Sky Shadow Media. I see. Haha, we often do business with them. Don't worry, I'll let them know when the time comes. It shouldn't be a problem." The manager had originally planned to get a few new recruits from Sky Shadow before the idea of a lucky draw had been pitched to him. But in the end, he still got what he wanted. Zhou Liqing became more and more pleasing to the eye.

Zhou Liqing said, "I don't want to trouble you."

"Don't worry about that!" He laughed. "Let me ask you a question. Has your friend signed a contract?"

Zhou Liqing instantly understood that the manager was asking about Xiwan. She nodded and said, "Yes, she signed with Sky Shadow too."

"Oh," the manager replied and smiled at Zhou Liqing. "Sky Shadow is really lucky to have signed both of you."

Zhou Liqing smiled modestly and said, "Not at all."

* * *

As they walked out of the door, a gust of cold wind made everyone shiver.

The excitement on Zhou Liqing's face could not be stopped. Qian Mengfei pinched Zhou Liqing's cheeks and said, "Alright, it's already one o'clock in the morning, and you're still so energetic. Let's see how you'll do with your training tomorrow."

"But I'm just so excited. Aiya! The dormitory is already closed. Let's just stay at the Express Hotel."

Sun Huayu rolled her eyes at Zhou Liqing. "I just remembered now."

The four of them walked towards the Express Hotel, which was not far away from Dark Night.

"Damn, we've finally arrived!" A loud voice rang in their ears. "Ha, there are still four beauties. One each!"

Xiwan looked for the source of the voice. Wasn't this the red-haired guy she met in the bathroom? Three hooligans followed behind him.

It was laughable. There really were people who were so stupid and unafraid of death that they would dare to cause trouble.

Xiwan's roommates looked at the four men. Thinking that it was late at night and the men had ill intentions, their hearts trembled.

Xiwan had learned self-defense techniques. She was filming a TV show and had studied at a martial arts school for a long time to learn the most that she could. It was easy for her to dropkick some perverts, but she still had four weak roommates by her side. She gritted her teeth. She really had not expected to meet such a trash idiot in Dark Night.

Xiwan knew she had to protect the three of them alone. She whispered, "Run quickly! Split up and run. Call the police or find the security of Dark Night. I'm going to stay here."

Qian Mengfei said, "I'll stay with you. I've learned self-defense techniques. Liqing! Huayu!"

Zhou Liqing was on the verge of tears. "But... my legs are weak!"

Sun Huayu gritted her teeth. "Mengfei, you're fast and strong. We're counting on you!"

"Stop talking, Mengfei. Take them and run!"

"Hehe, look at you, even discussing countermeasures. There are four girls. We have one each!" The red-haired man was very arrogant.

Xiwan looked at him coldly. "Let's see if you have the appetite!"

"Damn, you still dare to be so hot. If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know how high the sky is!"

The red-haired leader spoke as he took a step towards Xiwan.

"Run!"

Qian Mengfei pulled Zhou Liqing and Sun Huayu. They ran forward together with her.

The red-haired predator saw that she didn't run, but the other three ran away instead. His guys behind him were still in a daze. "You bunch of lunatics! Hurry up and chase after them! F*ck, do you really want someone to call the police?"

The three men looked at Jiang Xiwan, then at the other women who had already run away, and quickly ran after them.

Red Hair sneered. "This place is perfect for me to exercise."

Xiwan stretched her muscles and bones, then stared at the man in front of her. "Many people are looking for death. Are you?"

"F*ck you!" He jumped up with a kick.

Xiwan dodged and easily avoided Red Hair's attack.

Although his kick landed on the ground, it hadn't caused any damage. He spat and turned on his heel, unwilling to give up. Xiwan's eyes moved. She reached quickly and grabbed his ankle. She dodged to the side and whipped her wrist, which in turn whipped his ankle. She turned and used centrifugal force to throw him out.

Bang.
