“What the hell?”
The agent looked confused but quickly broke into a smile, “I’m here to congratulate you, your new single ‘Glory’ is currently the champion song on the new song chart, you’ve taken the lead this season!”
“On top?”
Chen Zhiyu glanced at his agent, “I just realized today that the name of this song is not very auspicious. Do you know what short-lived glory is?”
“Pah! Pah! Pah!”
The agent protested unhappily, “If there’s nothing wrong, don’t keep cursing yourself. The new song was released at seven o’clock in the morning, and now it’s nine. ‘Glory’ reached the top in two hours. This proves that our song is the strongest one this season. Even Sand Sea fell behind us. Zheng Liang’s ‘Caramel’ is now in second place, a little behind in the numbers. As long as we keep suppressing Zheng Liang, we have the champion song of this season locked in!”
“You are really jinxing it.” Chen Zhiyu looked defeated.
Seeing Chen Zhiyu’s depressed face, the agent became increasingly frustrated, “What’s wrong with you, Chen Zhiyu? You’re not satisfied with being on top? Are you complaining about the company sending you out to suppress newcomers? Fine, I admit it, the company did wrong, but the boss promised to compensate you with a concert. Cheer up!”
“Suppressing newcomers?”
Chen Zhiyu laughed sarcastically, “Who’s suppressing who is still unknown. If the company’s plan backfires, don’t let them blame me.”
“What the heck?”
The agent suddenly laughed, “You wouldn’t be worried about that Zhao Ying Ge, would you? Deserve to be veteran singers, truly steady. Actually, I’m also a bit afraid that we might crash, so before I came over, 1 specifically checked the ranking of ‘Easy to Ignite and Explode’. It’s just the 10th, miles away from your current rank. Don’t believe me, see for yourself.”

As he spoke, the agent pulled up the new song chart on his phone.
After taking a look at the ranking, he seemed a bit startled, “Huh? How did it become seventh? It was tenth just now. Is there a bug in the chart?”
“Uh-huh.”
Chen Zhiyu wasn’t surprised at all and put on a profound expression with a jest, “I suggest you refresh it again later, there might be a surprise.”
“Later?”
Almost subconsciously, the agent refreshed the page again. He then goggled in disbelief,
“What the… It’s sixth now?”
He whipped his head around to look at Chen Zhiyu.
Even a fool could tell that something was wrong.
Chen Zhiyu shrugged, “Looks like our Silver Light and Sand Sea ended up as perfect green leaves. Just wait, tomorrow’s headline will be ‘Bloom Champion Zhao Ying Ge Ascends to the Top by Stepping Over the Shoulders of Two Top-tier Singers.’
“Is it really that serious?”
The agent was filled with disbelief.
He didn’t dare to leave, so he just stayed with Chen Zhiyu.
The two stared at each other in silence for half an hour before the agent refreshed the new song chart again.
“Which place now?”
Chen Zhiyu inquired calmly.
The corner of the agent’s mouth twitched, “How is that possible…It’s not right…In half an hour… it freaking rushed to the third place?”
It’s already third place?
Chen Zhiyu spoke three words, “Killing spree.”
The agent seemed to agree, “Zhao Ying Ge is really fierce.”
Chen Zhiyu shook his head, “Zhao Ying Ge’s fan base can’t compare to mine. The reason she could make a killing on the new song chart is purely because the quality of the song compensates for the lack of popularity. So, the real fierce one is the songwriter behind this song, Xian Yu.”
The agent asked, “So can we keep the first place?”
Chen Zhiyu took a deep breath, “That depends on just how fierce Xian Yu can be.”
The agent breathed a sigh of relief, “So, you mean there’s still hope?”
Chen Zhiyu shook his head, “Don’t get me wrong. Being overtaken is just a matter of time. What I meant is, I’m uncertain about how many days Xian Yu will be able to hold the champion crown.”
Many people in the industry were paying attention to this season’s new song chart.
That was why many people witnessed the opening day massacre that ‘Easy to Ignite and Explode’ put on!
The new song chart was turned upside down.
The guy who was in sixth place on the chart held a strong smile, talking to his friend, “Did you see? It seemed like a song just whooshed over my head.”
Friend:”…”
This wasn’t an isolated incident. Everyone who saw themselves being trampled by ‘Easy to Ignite and Explode’ had a similar feeling.
Immediately after.
The singers on the chart were all thinking: Could Zhao Ying Ge really take down the top two?
No way, right?
No way…right?
Their determination turned into uncertainty in just about ten seconds.
Because those who really know the industry could see that ‘Easy to Ignite and Explode’, this dark horse, was likely to make a big comeback!
Everyone in the circle was astonished.
They all found it incredible.
Before, everyone thought that Starlight was destined to be down this season, and the media constantly overlooked Starlight.
The barrier set up by two top-tier singers, how could a singer of Zhao Ying Ge’s caliber break through?
But the result seemed to deviate from what many people imagined.
Zhao Ying Ge made it to the top three so effortlessly on the first day!
Even if we take a step back.
It’s quite normal for Zhao Ying Ge to get third place, after all, she is the champion of ‘Bloom’, and her fame is not inferior to that of ordinary debut singers.
But she got this third place on the first day, and she did it so naturally and so suddenly that it wasn’t logical.
Why?
Zhao Ying Ge hasn’t peaked yet, has she?
Theoretically, she should have gone through a cruel battle and scraping by to secure the third place, at least that was what the insiders had predicted.
So why was it so soon?
If you only look at the opening day momentum of ‘Easy to Ignite and Explode’, unknowing people might think Zhao Ying Ge was also a top-tier singer—
Of course, Zhao Ying Ge is not top-tier.
The real reason is not hard to figure out.
A veteran music producer in the industry, after listening to ‘Easy to Ignite and Explode’, laughed with deep feeling, saying, “This is what a textbook-level songwriter’s boost looks like. This is why songwriters have a high status in the industry.”
Exactly.
Boosted by the songwriter.
It’s the songwriter who makes up for the singer’s innate lack of popularity single-handedly, so Zhao Ying Ge, who is far less famous than top-tier singers, was able to display the momentum of top-tier singers.
In fact, no one needs to remind them.
People in the industry are all clear about this.
A strong songwriter has this ability.
But when everyone looks forward to the composer’s name under the composer column, they can’t help but exclaim in unison, because this name has appeared too frequently these days—
“It’s Xian Yu again!”
Why use ‘again’?
Because most people couldn’t imagine that the songwriter who singlehandedly turned the tables and took Zhao Ying Ge to stand against the two top-tier singers is this newcomer songwriter in the music circle.
Three consecutive hits.
Is this “fish” really a newcomer?
