It was one o 'clock in the morning.
The bustling capital was still awake. The streets were filled with feasting and festivities, telling of the prosperity and extravagance of the city.
The broadcasting studio of Star TV was bustling with activity. Two beautiful girls in short skirts and colorful knee socks were resting on the chairs and touching up their makeup.
"Shi Man, let's go to Dongcheng's Mala Tang later. I haven't eaten there for a long time. I'm dying of craving for it!"
Rao Shi Man forced a smile when she saw Zhang Ke Ke's excited expression. She was so excited that she was dancing with joy. "Ke Ke, why don't we go back to the hotel and rest? I'm exhausted after rehearsing for a whole night!"
Rao Shi Man and Zhang Ke Ke were China's A-list singers. Now, the two of them had temporarily formed a beautiful girl group. Moreover, they were invited to Jindu's most famous Star Satellite TV Station to participate in Star Satellite TV's The Voice of China competition.
The two girls had been rehearsing since eight o 'clock in the afternoon yesterday. They had been singing and dancing for five hours. Rao Shi Man was exhausted. Seeing Zhang Ke Ke was so energetic that she wanted to eat Mala Tang, Rao Shi Man admired her bestie's tenacious stamina.
"Ah? Is Big Sister Shi Man tired? But I don't feel tired at all. I can still sing ten songs in a row! "Zhang Ke Ke said with a funny expression.
Rao Shi Man also realized that Zhang Ke Ke's stamina seemed to be limitless.
"That's strange. Ke Ke, you used to be lazy. If you could lip-synch, you'd never sing. If you didn't have to dance, you'd always sit on the stage and sing the whole song … What have you been eating lately? You're almost a superwoman now! "Rao Shi Man looked at Zhang Ke Ke curiously.
Zhang Ke Ke's nickname for being lazy had long been spread in the entertainment circle. When Rao Shi Man exposed her, Zhang Ke Ke was embarrassed and annoyed.
"Shi Man, how can you mention this? I'm not lazy. I'm just a young lady who just turned 20 this year. I sing at least 15 songs in every concert. I just sit and sing to preserve my stamina!"
Zhang Ke Ke hugged Rao Shi Man's arm and acted coquettishly. Both of them were beautiful superstars. Usually, they had to put on a cold and aloof front in order to maintain their image. If their fans were to witness such a friendly and easygoing scene, they would definitely go crazy.
"By the way, Big Sister Shi Man, do you want to keep these talismans with you?" Zhang Ke Ke's eyes darted around as she took out a stack of yellow talismans from her pocket.
Rao Shi Man was amused by Zhang Ke Ke's antics. "Ke Ke, what are you doing? What's the point of giving me these talismans? It's the 21st century now, the era of technology! "
Zhang Ke Ke had snatched these talismans from Qin Feng's stall at Yulin Street. Although Zhang Ke Ke was not superstitious, she was naturally interested in these talismans that carried the ancient aura and culture of China. Therefore, Zhang Ke Ke had always kept these talismans with her. She would take them out when she was bored and study the ancient and strange runes on them.
"Shi Man, you might not believe me, but I've been carrying these talismans with me ever since I obtained them. That's how I gained unlimited stamina. During this period of time, I didn't even slack off during the announcement activities!"
After listening to Zhang Ke Ke's explanation, Rao Shi Man realized Zhang Ke Ke's words were true. Ever since she went shopping at Yulin Street with Zhang Ke Ke, Zhang Ke Ke seemed to have changed into another person. Zhang Ke Ke was filled with youthful energy all day long.
"Could it be that these talismans can refresh one's mind?" Rao Shi Man muttered to herself.
Suddenly, Rao Shi Man's beautiful eyes lit up. She suddenly remembered the Soul-Cleansing Necklace that Qin Feng gifted to her. That necklace could refresh one's mind and calm one's mind. Could it be …
"Haha! I've finally found you two ladies! "While Rao Shi Man was making all kinds of guesses in her mind, a burst of laughter suddenly entered her ears.
The two ladies looked up and saw two men dressed in high-end suits standing beside them.
One of them was dressed in a well-ironed burgundy suit. He was fair and handsome, and he exuded an extraordinary aura. With his appearance and figure, he could easily outshine many of the popular young hunks in the entertainment circle. However, this man did not need to be a celebrity because he was the young president of Starlight Entertainment Media, Yang Can.
The man standing beside Yang Can was a fat man dressed in a black suit. When he smiled, the fat on his face blocked his eyes.
"Young Master Yang!"
"Young Master Liu!"
Rao Shi Man and Zhang Ke Ke greeted them when they saw them.
Both of them were famous young masters in the provincial capital. One of them was Yang Can, the eldest grandson of the Yang family, which was one of the four prominent families in the provincial capital. The other was Liu Shu, the most popular man in the Liu family.
Although Rao Shi Man and Zhang Ke Ke were not afraid of these young masters, they still had to be polite to them.
"Haha! Little Sister Shi Man and Little Sister Ke Ke are so polite! " Liu Shu looked at the two ladies with a smile. Then, he glared at Yang Can and said, "Young Master Yang, how dare you let our two beauties rehearse until so late at night? I don't care. Hurry up and arrange the best clubhouse to entertain them. Otherwise, I won't recognize you as my brother anymore!"
"Haha, Young Master Liu, don't worry! Both Shi Man and Ke Ke are celebrities with tens of millions of fans. I wouldn't dare to neglect them. I've already booked a place. Let's go to the Soaring Cloud Mansion! "
"You're smart, brat. Let's go!"
Liu Shu and Yang Can's acting was indeed as they said. Rao Shi Man and Zhang Ke Ke knew very well, but they didn't say anything.
Rao Shi Man stood up gracefully and pulled Zhang Ke Ke to her side. She smiled at Yang Can and Liu Shu and said, "Ke Ke and I appreciate your kindness, but it's late now. Ke Ke and I are a little tired, so we won't attend the banquet. We'll go back to the hotel and rest!"
Rao Shi Man refused directly. Liu Shu and Yang Can's eyes flashed with coldness, but soon, Liu Shu smiled brightly.
"Haha! Little Sister Shi Man, no matter how tired you are, you still have to eat. If you don't go, Young Master Yang will think that you're looking down on him. He'll lose his face! "
When Liu Shu said this, Yang Can's face darkened. He pretended to be angry but didn't say anything.
"Young Master Yang, please don't misunderstand. Ke Ke and I don't mean to look down on Young Master Yang. We're really tired after the rehearsal … Ke Ke and I will go back first!"
Rao Shi Man pulled Zhang Ke Ke and was about to leave when Liu Shu suddenly blocked their way with a smile.
"Miss Shi Man, we're all from the capital. We'll see each other all the time. I'm afraid it's not good for you to act like this. The entertainment industry in China is almost monopolized by Young Master Yang's Starlight Entertainment Media Company. If you don't give Young Master Yang face, he'll freeze you both!"
Rao Shi Man and Zhang Ke Ke signed a contract with Starlight Entertainment Media Company. Now that they were living under the same roof, they were in a difficult situation.
"Shi Man, why don't we go for a meal and go back to sleep after eating? I'll call Big Sister Li and ask her to come with us. I think we'll be fine!"
Zhang Ke Ke said as she dialed a number. She said a few words into the phone and then held Rao Shi Man's arm with a smile. "Big Sister Li will come now. Don't worry, Shi Man!"
Big Sister Li was a woman in her early 40s. She was Rao Shi Man and Zhang Ke Ke's manager. With Big Sister Li attending the dinner, Rao Shi Man felt less worried. She remembered that she had the Dongfang Family's backing, so Liu Shu and Yang Can wouldn't dare to do anything to her.
"Young Master Yang, Young Master Liu, let's go for a meal. I'll go back with Ke Ke to rest after we finish eating," Rao Shi Man said to Yang Can indifferently.
"Okay! Our car is parked outside. Let's go! "Liu Shu and Yang Can grinned mischievously when they saw the two women had agreed.
The four of them walked out of Star TV's recording studio. A bright red Ferrari Enzo and a black Maserati Presidente were parked outside the radio station.
"Shi Man, Ke Ke!" At this moment, the two women's manager, Big Sister Li, rushed over.
"Big Sister Li! Let's go for a midnight snack! "Zhang Ke Ke happily held Big Sister Li's arm when she saw Big Sister Li.
"Young Master Liu, Young Master Yang!" Big Sister Li patted Zhang Ke Ke's head and greeted Liu Shu and Yang Can.
"Alright, since everyone is here, let's get in the car. I think Shi Man is really tired. Let's finish our meal quickly and then I'll send you back to rest!" Yang Can invited Rao Shi Man to get in his Ferrari Enzo.
The sports car only had two seats, but Liu Shu's Maserati Presidente had four seats.
"Young Master Yang, I'll sit with Ke Ke in Young Master Liu's car!" Rao Shi Man hesitated for a moment before she rejected Yang Can's invitation. She held Zhang Ke Ke's arm and sat in the back row of the Maserati Presidente.
Yang Can's expression suddenly turned cold. However, a bright smile soon appeared on his face. "Big Sister Li, get in my car!"
"Okay! Young Master Liu, drive slowly and take care of my two young misses! "
"Don't worry, Big Sister Li. Let's go!" Liu Shu smiled at Big Sister Li and Yang Can and got in the car.
Big Sister Li got in Yang Can's car while Rao Shi Man and Zhang Ke Ke sat in the back row of Liu Shu's car. The engines roared like two beasts. The two sports cars turned into two streaks of light and blended into the luxurious night of Jindu City!
Ten minutes later, the two sports cars stopped in front of the most luxurious private club in Jindu City, Soaring Cloud Mansion. As soon as they got out of the car, a security guard greeted them.
"Young Master Yang, Young Master Liu, leave the cars to me!"
Yang Can and Liu Shu tossed the sports car keys worth tens of millions to the security guard. Then, they smiled and walked to Rao Shi Man and Zhang Ke Ke.
"Two big stars, please come in! I've already ordered supper. Please come in and have some food. I'll send you back to rest later! "
"Okay! Thank you, Young Master Yang! "Rao Shi Man nodded slightly.
