I collapsed from the top, and the system just showed up?

Upon seeing the song “It Doesn’t Matter!” surpassing Li Zhiling’s “Come on, Baby!” insiders thought Li Zhiling would surely launch a fierce counterattack. After all, many had watched Li Zhiling on music programs and knew this girl had a fiery temper and would not easily back down. Moreover, her company behind her would not let her give up the second spot so easily.

However.

A few minutes later.

Everyone was almost doubting their own eyes.

Li Zhiling, like Su Qing, posted on Weibo: “Congratulations to ‘It Doesn’t Matter’ for getting second place on the August Newcomer Chart. It can be said that @Hao Mingxing’s song is well-deserved of its position. Dear friends, if you don’t believe me, you can listen to this song, it’s really amazing!!! → The link is here”.

???

This move made everyone’s minds crash.

Especially Zhang Mao, who was in first place on the newcomer chart, looked bewildered. He had expected to witness a fierce battle between the second and third.

But Li Zhiling unexpectedly handed over the second place without retaliating, even complimenting the other party on Weibo.

Originally, Su Qing, who was in third place, did the same thing.

What’s going on?

Are all artists in the entertainment industry so friendly nowadays?

It was simply eye-opening.

He chuckled in amazement.

But his laughter did not remain for long.

Because Zhang Mao found that after Li Zhiling posted on Weibo, “It Doesn’t Matter” seemed to have boarded a rocket and was aggressively poking at him.

“Oh, F*ck!”

Zhang Mao cursed.

Everything was going fine, why did you guys have to post a Weibo?!

You guys can be generous.

But can’t you consider my feelings?

Originally, “It Doesn’t Matter” already had strong momentum, and now, with the addition of Su Qing’s and Li Zhiling’s fans, all its data skyrocketed like crazy.

Don’t come any near!!!

Zhang Mao’s face turned green.

He originally thought that “It Doesn’t Matter”, no matter how strong its momentum was, could not threaten him, at least not in the short term.

But now!

Zhang Mao panicked.

This was not just a competition between “It Doesn’t Matter” and him.

This was the fans of the second, third, and fourth-ranked artists bound together to compete with him.

“You guys have no sportsmanship!!!”

Zhang Mao was speechless, watching helplessly as “It Doesn’t Matter” surpassed him, and he became the second.

On the other side,

Su Qing laughed, “Now! Is everyone feeling comfortable?”

Li Zhiling: “Yes, very comfortable”.

Zhao Long asked, “What about Zhang Mao? He must be feeling very painful”.

Su Qing: “Who asked him to take the first place? Serves him right!”

Zhao Long and Li Zhiling swallowed their saliva, finding it reasonable and had nothing to say.

…

Yunhai Media.

In the vocal department, a huge cheer almost shook the entire floor.

First place!

Newcomer Chart First Place!

In the past two years, Yunhai Media had not produced a single singer who claimed the first spot on the Newcomer Chart. So, for the entire company, this achievement was an exhilarating piece of good news.

Amidst the excitement,

Everyone’s gaze, without any exception, turned towards Hao Mingxing, who was surrounded by a sea of people.

Their expressions were incredibly complex.

Outsiders might not know the details, but how could they be unaware? Hao Mingxing was previously acknowledged as a waste by the majority of the music department.

A person with a ruined voice achieved such results.

How unbelievable.

But to most, the most unbelievable part was related to Wang Mo.

Because with just a song “It Doesn’t Matter”, Wang Mo elevated the waste Hao Mingxing to the first place on the Newcomer Chart.

Now, that was explosive.

In the vocal department, everyone knew one thing: after Hao Mingxing’s voice was ruined, he did attempt to continue singing, but all his attempts failed.

“So, did Wang Mo save Hao Mingxing?”

“Wang Mo actually has such ability”.

“How did he write a song so suitable for Hao Mingxing to sing?”

“I used to think Wang Mo was just some useless pretty boy, but now it seems I was truly short-sighted”.

In fact, after “It Doesn’t Matter” became famous, many singers in the vocal department secretly tried to sing this song, but all of them sounded terrible. Even if one or two didn’t sound particularly bad, they were just average.

The more this happened, the more everyone felt that Wang Mo’s “It Doesn’t Matter” was too magical.

But the people in the vocal department refused to admit that Wang Mo was talented because it involved the issue of the composition department’s status.

All along, the composition department was just a tool for the vocal department. Only singers could influence composers, only singers could know what songs suited them, and only singers could enjoy fame and fortune after becoming famous.

But this time, a composer changed everything and played a crucial role in the song. He surpassed the singer himself and became the biggest contributor.

The vocal department couldn’t accept it.

They wouldn’t acknowledge it.

“He must just have been lucky”.

“Wang Mo must have stumbled upon success”.

“In fact, it’s because Hao Mingxing’s voice is special, Wang Mo just reaped the benefits”.

“Yes, it’s because of Hao Mingxing’s talent!”

“In fact, Wang Mo should thank Hao Mingxing. Otherwise, no one would want this song”.

“That makes sense”.

People who previously labeled Hao Mingxing as a waste suddenly changed their stance, solemnly declaring that it was Hao Mingxing’s talent that created the miracle of him claiming the first spot on the Newcomer Chart.

…

Liu Zhengwen had initially been immersed in the joy of Hao Mingxing winning the first place.

He even rushed to Qian Lun’s office to celebrate with him.

However, upon hearing the discussions in the vocal department, he gradually furrowed his brows.

Hao Mingxing has talent?

This was the biggest joke he had ever heard in his life.

Just a while ago, all of you in the vocal department called Hao Mingxing a waste, even suggesting that he go sweep garbage. How did it suddenly change to him having talent?

If he had talent, why didn’t he stand out before?

“Are all of your employees this shameless?”

Liu Zhengwen questioned Qian Lun.

This was clearly an attempt to strip Wang Mo of his credit.

No Wang Mo!

Is Hao Mingxing not still a waste without him?

Qian Lun smiled and said, “Manager Liu, calm down a bit. These kids are just talking without thinking. But indeed, Hao Mingxing’s talent is something, we can only say that we didn’t discover it before. As for Wang Mo… cough, whether Wang Mo saved Hao Mingxing or not, it’s too early to say. I think if Wang Mo can replicate similar success in the future, then we can admit that we underestimated the role of composers before. Otherwise, let’s wait until next month and see if Wang Mo can create another miracle”.

Liu Zhengwen almost blurted out a “f*ck”.

Damn, Qian Lun’s words seemed resonable, but they were more venomous than the vocal department employees’ words.

Because Liu Zhengwen knew that a composer might only be able to create one classic song in his lifetime.

And for Wang Mo to create “It Doesn’t Matter”, in his view, he probably had exhausted all his inspiration and luck.

To create another song of such a level and promote another singer similar to Hao Mingxing? The probability was too small.

And Qian Lun wants Wang Mo to release a second high-quality song next month.

Is that even possible?

“You’re making it difficult for us!”

Liu Zhengwen angrily said.

Qian Lun still smiled, “I’m not making it difficult for you, facts speak for themselves”.

F*ck!

Liu Zhengwen cursed in his heart.

But he was helpless.

The position of a composer was not well-regarded, it was already deeply ingrained in the minds of Blue Star’s citizens. No matter what he said, it was useless.

He stopped talking and turned to leave.

Coincidentally, he saw Hao Mingxing carrying a bag of gifts entering Qian Lun’s office.

Liu Zhengwen became even more annoyed.

Wang Mo helped you gain fame, and you have come to thank your leader?

He snorted and gave Hao Mingxing a disdainful look.

???

Hao Mingxing looked puzzled, not understanding.

After a moment of confusion, he finally entered Qian Lun’s office which still didn’t had a door.

Seeing Hao Mingxing, Qian Lun immediately put on a warm smile and stood up to accept the gifts, saying, “Ah, Mingxing, I’ve told you not to be so polite. Why bring gifts?”

Hao Mingxing subconsciously shrank back, “Mr. Qian, this… is for Brother Mo”.

Brother Mo?

Who?

Qian Lun took a while to react, Hao Mingxing was talking about Wang Mo.

His eyebrows instantly raised, and he spoke earnestly, “Mingxing, you need to correct your attitude. Don’t think that just because Wang Mo wrote ‘It Doesn’t Matter’ for you, you should be grateful to him. Although Wang Mo was a top star before, now he is just a composer. Composers are naturally here to serve our singers, writing songs is their job. It’s your talent that made ‘It Doesn’t Matter’ a hit”.

“Before, we indeed neglected to discover your singing talent, that was a fault at our ends. But rest assured, I will now assign a task to Liu, the head of the composition department. He will make sure to assign the most experienced composers in the company to tailor some good songs for you. At the same time, I will mobilize resources to push you to become a rising star in the music industry”.

Watching Qian Lun talk confidently, Hao Mingxing’s expression remained unchanged.

Qian Lun talked for a long time until he became hoarse before finally stopping.

Hao Mingxing then said, “Mr. Qian, thank you for your appreciation. But I only know one thing: when I was still just a waste, only Brother Mo gave me a song. So, I’m here to request a short leave from you”.

After saying this, he carried the gifts and walked out.

Qian Lun was bewildered, “Where are you going?”

Hao Mingxing: “To express gratitude”.

Qian Lun watched Hao Mingxing leave his office, swallowing hard.

What’s going on?

Composers write songs for singers, that’s just natural!

And now, singers have to express gratitude?

It completely subverted his understanding.

After a long time, Qian Lun muttered, “Why does it feel like I have been rejected?”
