Going to work? Even a dog wouldn't go!

Chapter 39, I think it's too milky.
As former "comrades-in-arms," ​​Sun Jiaren naturally knows Chu Yourong very well. The two are equally good at singing, unlike Xu Yao's team with a main vocal track. Chu Yourong is truly capable of taking the vocal power route.

Therefore, the two of them have the same approach when releasing singles, which are almost always "exclusive to fans".

In fact, many idol stars are like this. Their album sales often break various records, but they don't have a single hit song. They can hold concerts in stadiums with tens of thousands of people and the tickets are incredibly expensive, but apart from their fans, very few people have heard their songs.

So Sun Jiaren didn't take Chu Yourong's new song seriously at all. After hearing from Xiao Ke that the comments section was full of insults, she listened to the song with a purely entertaining attitude.

However, after listening to the first part of the song, she was completely stunned.

Not only did the quality of the song exceed her expectations, but Chu Yourong's singing skills also seemed to have improved significantly.

What's going on? How did I get stronger after leaving Rongshu Entertainment?

Assistant Xiao Ke was just as surprised as she was. When she looked through the comments section before, it was all negative comments, but the song was clearly not as bad as those people said.

It's obvious that Xiao Ke was being misled by online trolls sent by her own company.

The interlude ends, and the song continues.

Xiao Ke became more and more engrossed in the song. She had just broken up with her boyfriend, whom she had been with since school, last week, and the lyrics of the song seemed to have been tailor-made for her.

分手应该体面
No one should apologize.

What debt is there?
I dare to give, and I dare to be heartbroken.

Chu Yourong's slightly melancholic singing voice gradually eroded her memory, and scenes from the past began to appear in her mind like a slideshow.

Without realizing it, he began to sob softly, tears slowly sliding down his cheeks.

"Xiao Ke, you..."

Seeing that her assistant had actually cried while listening to the song, Sun Jiaren was speechless for a moment. She admitted that the quality of Chu Yourong's song had indeed exceeded her expectations.

But to cry while listening to a song, isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?

"I... I want to be grandma."

Realizing she had lost her composure, Xiao Ke wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and quickly made up an excuse.

Sun Jiaren rolled her eyes and didn't say anything more.

She clicked on the copyright information for the song "Decent".

Composer: The Sixth Sense
Lyrics by: Sixth Sense
That's right, both the lyricist and composer are called "Sixth Sense".

He also has another song under his name, which is "Apple Fragrance".

Where did this "genius" come from? He can actually write two songs with such different styles.

Beijing TV.

The dressing room for the "Light Songs and Dances" program.

Xu Yao, having finished her hair and makeup, is waiting to start work.

She adopts a neutral style, with short, granny-gray hair and a diamond-encrusted earring on her left ear, giving her a cool look.

"Sister Yao, your new song is already number one on two charts."

Assistant Xiaoying said happily.

"Ah."

Xu Yao was leaning back on the sofa with her eyes closed, seemingly uninterested in the news.

"Sister Yao, you completely blew Chu Yourong's new song away this time. But the company is really something else. They could have just arranged for Sun Jiaren. Why did they have to make you do it yourself? It was completely unnecessary!"

Xiao Ying spoke again, starting to flatter her master.

"Those people just love to make a mountain out of a molehill!"

Xu Yao opened her eyes and asked, "What was the name of Chu Yourong's song again?"

"Decent"

"Play it for a bit."

"Hmm, let me look. It's not at the top of the new song chart."

"what!"

Xiao Ying originally wanted to kick Chu Yourong again, which could be considered a way of indirectly pleasing her master. However, when she opened the new song chart, she happened to catch the update every half hour. Chu Yourong's "Decent" had actually jumped to ninth place.

She clearly remembered that when she was looking for Chu Yourong's new song, it seemed to be ranked in the thirties. "What happened?"

Xu Yao glanced at Xiao Ying.

"Chu Yourong's new song has climbed to ninth place."

"They must have hired online trolls to manipulate the rankings!"

Xiaoying is currently looking at the new song chart on KuMao Music. The songs on the chart are all new songs released within the past week. Because the number of new songs is small, there is more room for manipulation, and people often spend money to boost their rankings in order to get exposure.

"Given Chu Yourong's popularity, being ninth on the new song chart is not enough to constitute chart manipulation."

Xu Yao and Chu Yourong have completely different styles and are not competitors. Before Moonlight Girls developed their careers independently, the two had a good relationship and there was no animosity between them.

However, this time the company used Xu Yao's new song to target Chu Yourong, and the two became competitors. Even though Xu Yao had no prejudice against Chu Yourong, she did not want to lose to her in the competition.

Her new song "That Year, That Day" is currently number one on the new song chart, so it's acceptable for Chu Yourong to be number nine.

"He was in the thirties just now, and now he's ninth. It's hard to say. He probably feels ashamed because his ranking is too low!"

As Xiaoying spoke, she clicked on the song "Decent".

As the prelude begins, the single notes, played with a touch of coolness and restraint, are like raindrops gently tapping on a windowpane, or the sensation of fingertips brushing against an old object, stirring emotions and conveying a faint sense of melancholy.

Xu Yao let out a soft "Eh," this was completely unlike Chu Yourong's style. Before this, she had always been a sweet girl, and the few singles she had released were all of the cheerful type.

This song is completely different from her previous songs; she can even hear the shadow of her own song "That Year, That Day" in the intro.

Is it a song of the same type?

Xu Yao, who had been nonchalant, sat up straight, took Xiao Ying's phone, and opened the lyrics page.

Don't let nostalgia make the plot melodramatic.
Why ruin a classic after loving it for so many years?
Sure enough, Chu Yourong's song has the same style as her new song, and even the core theme of the two songs is the same.

Say goodbye to your ex!

Accept the fact that the relationship has ended, and view the breakup in a mature and rational manner.

Of course, there was also a touch of nostalgia for the past relationship.

However, Chu Yourong's "Decent" is clearly a level above her song, with better lyrics, music, and overall atmosphere.

Xiao Ying's original plan was to belittle the song after listening to it in order to please her master.

But after the song ended, she couldn't bring herself to say anything derogatory; she was even moved by the song.

The immersion was so strong that she could clearly feel her own emotions fluctuating.

Who wrote this song?

Xu Yao listened to the song for a while before speaking.

"A person called Sixth Sense."

Xiao Ying quickly checked the copyright information for "Decent".

"Sixth sense?"

Xu Yao's lips twitched slightly: "Such an unconventional name, yet it can produce such a profound song?"

"Wow, he's actually the lyricist and composer of 'Apple Scent'!"

Xiao Ying exclaimed in surprise.

Since Xu Yao didn't take the fact that she and Chu Yourong were releasing songs on the same day seriously, neither she nor her assistant Xiao Ying had paid any special attention to Chu Yourong's new song before.

When Xiao Yingren saw that the author of Chu Yourong's new song was the same person as the author of "Apple Fragrance," she was completely stunned.

"The smell of apples?"

"Is the sound of a bayan fiddle still coming from Six Star Street??"

Xu Yao remembered this song; she had been seeing it frequently on Douyin (TikTok) a few days ago.

"Yes, yes, that's the song!" Xiao Ying nodded repeatedly.

Xu Yao grumbled, "After writing 'Apple Fragrance,' he wrote 'Decent.' That person must be schizophrenic!"
