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

The two exchanged glances, their eyes wide open.

It was unclear what the other was thinking.

After a moment of awkward silence, Wang Mo broke the silence, “Brother Xiong, how is the matter that I asked you to take care of before going?”

Yuan Xiong replied, “I inquired about it with the intermediary. If you sell your villa now, considering the hassle, you’ll incur a loss of at least 5 million. Are you sure you want to sell it?”

Wang Mo said, “I have no other choice than to sell it anyways I can’t afford the mortgage”.

Yuan Xiong suggested, “How about… I lend you some money first? It’s a waste to sell the villa now. After all, we’ve profited quite a bit from you”.

Wang Mo asked, “How much can you lend?”

Yuan Xiong nearly choked on his saliva, “I’ve only made a little money off you, I haven’t completely peeled you off yet”.

“So, you have yet to make enough money off me?”

Wang Mo rubbed his forehead, “Also… How much do I have to compensate?”

Due to his collapse, many brand partners terminated contracts with the company.

He roughly calculated that he would have to compensate several tens of millions. In other words, even all the hard-earned money he made over the years wouldn’t be enough.

This was frustrating.

What kind of top star was he?

However, the next moment, Wang Mo was stunned.

Because Yuan Xiong said, “The company doesn’t intend to make you compensate”.

Wang Mo asked in surprise, “Why?”

Yuan Xiong explained, “The company plans to negotiate slowly with those brand partners. If they can delay it, they will. Besides, your contribution to the company over the years are recognized by the higher-ups. Moreover, your collapse this time can’t be blamed on you. So, the higher-ups decided not to make you compensate, to avoid pushing you to a dead end”.

“…”

The company was surprisingly considerate.

After a long silence, Wang Mo said, “I understand”.

After a moment, he asked again, “If I go live, it will be hard to keep my identity secret forever, right?”

Yuan Xiong laughed, “As long as you keep making money, does it matter even if you don’t reveal your identity?”

Wang Mo thought for a few minutes and nodded, “Then I’ll give it a try”.

If he could really make money.

First, he could repay the company.

Second, he could sell his villa without any loss.

Especially that villa, he really liked it.

Having a beautiful place to play around would be great…

Cough, why was he daydreaming? He was still a virgin!

Thinking about it made Wang Mo feel depressed.

After he debuted as a young idol, the company, to ensure his popularity, forbade him from having any scandals.

So!

For three whole years, he hadn’t even touched a woman.

A healthy young man in his twenties, full of vitality and with normal sexual orientation, do you know how he survived these three years?

Yes, you know!

Because you’ve also been through this!

{TN: Why you mocking me 😭😭}

…

Seeing Wang Mo agree to try live streaming, Yuan Xiong turned and left.

There was one thing Yuan Xiong hadn’t told Wang Mo. The opportunity for Wang Mo to go live was obtained by using up almost all of his favors, even risking his future as a top-tier talent manager.

Otherwise, even if the company’s higher-ups wouldn’t make Wang Mo compensate, they wouldn’t let him appear on any camera—masked or not.

However, allowing Wang Mo to go live required careful planning due to his sensitive identity. It wouldn’t be possible in the short term.

Wang Mo wasn’t in a hurry.

His mind wasn’t on live streaming right now, it was on the new song that was to be released in August.

Time passed like water, and days flew by… Why did this phrase sound so familiar?

The last day of July.

The entire entertainment industry in Huaxia had entered a busy state.

Composition Department.

Liu Zhengwen sat in his office, his emotions fluctuating.

Because his fate was going to be revealed the day after tomorrow. If none of the new songs in August could break into the top ten on any of the two major charts, he would face the company’s top management’s wrath.

But at this moment, all he could do was wait.

Even now, he didn’t know what the 14 songs looked like after they were completed.

There was no way around it! The Composition Department only needed to write songs, other matters such as recording songs, releasing songs and promotion had nothing to do with them.

The Vocal Department and the Promotion Department wouldn’t notify them either.

Of course, if any issues arose in these processes, someone would immediately come to the Composition Department to hold them accountable.

“Damn it”.
Liu Zhengwen cursed as usual, looking at the documents on his desk.

The documents were a summary of all the singers from the entertainment companies releasing songs in August that the company had collected:

This time, Yunhai Media had a total of 13 singers releasing songs, one B-list, one C-list, three veteran singers, and eight new singers.

No, it was 14.

There was also Hao Mingxing… the person with a ruined voice. Of course, this person could be ignored.

As for other companies in the industry, a total of 168 singers were releasing songs.

Of course, the actual number of people releasing songs was far more than this.

Many people didn’t know one fact: in the entire Blue Star music industry, there were basically over 100,000 new songs released every day.

Among them, 99.99% were garbage, and only a few hundred were worth listening to.

And what Liu Zhengwen really needed to pay attention to were the 168 singers in the documents in front of him. They were all carefully selected by other entertainment companies.

After checking, there was one A-list singer.

Eight B-list singers, sixteen C-list singers.

One A-list singer and two B-list singers were currently on trend.

It seemed that there was no hope for the top three on the new song chart this time, but breaking into the top ten shouldn’t be a problem.

“Steady!”
Liu Zhengwen clenched his fist.

He was very confident.

Just as confident as last month.

…

At the same time, in the Vocal Department.

Manager Qian Lun was also looking at the information of the singers releasing songs this time.

An assistant walked in, “Manager Qian, all the songs have passed the review by the Review Department, and the Promotion Department is ready for promotion. We’re just waiting for midnight”.

“Okay”.

Qian Lun nodded, “Be sure to promote it as soon as possible, we need to focus creating some hype for the songs of Yang Zhecheng and He Wen. The earlier the promotion, the earlier they’ll climb the charts”.

Yang Zhecheng was a B-list singer, and He Wen was a C-list singer. Both were key figures the company was pushing this time.

Although the Composition Department would take the blame, if the results of these singers were poor this time, Qian Lun wouldn’t have an easy time either.

“Yes”.

As the assistant was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, “Manager Qian, don’t you want to listen to the song?”

Qian Lun said, “Haven’t I listened to all thirteen songs? Just release them according to that version, without problem!”

The assistant said, “It’s not those thirteen songs, it’s the one sung by Hao Mingxing”.

“What?”

Qian Lun then remembered that Hao Mingxing had sung a song this time. A few days ago, he had come to him saying he wanted to release a song, and he casually handled the song without listening to it. He asked, “Is the song of low quality? It doesn’t matter, just release it normally. The song is already recorded, and it won’t consume much resources to release”.

The assistant said, “It’s not that the quality is low. It’s just that this song… um, it’s a bit unique”.

Seeing the assistant’s expression, Qian Lun looked surprised, “How is it unique?”

The assistant said, “I can’t quite describe it”.

“Alright, let me listen”.

Qian Lun took the computer handed over by the assistant and clicked on the music file for “It Doesn’t Matter” as guided by the assistant.

As Hao Mingxing’s singing began, Qian Lun, who was initially casual, suddenly tensed up.

His expression became extremely surprised, bordering on astonishment.

“This song..”.

Qian Lun sat motionless in his chair, not moving until the song concluded.

He had never expected that Hao Mingxing, with his ruined hoarse voice, would actually sing a song that even gave him an unprecedented and unique sensation.

However, it was too unique, making it difficult for him to categorize the tone of this song.

Was it pleasant? He couldn’t be sure.

Was it unpleasant? Not necessarily.

As the manager of the Vocal Department, he, for the first time in many years, encountered such a peculiar singing style.

After some thought, he said to his assistant, “This song is indeed a bit unique… Let’s go with the regular release channels. Keep an eye on the data changes. Of course, our main focus should still be on the songs of Yang Zhecheng and He Wen”.

“Understood!”

The assistant replied and quickly left.

Tick-tock.

Tick-tock.

Time quickly reached midnight on August 1st.

A new month officially began.
