Making money is great, happiness aside, but it still takes time for a change in mindset.
From then on, Chu Tian didn't need to worry anymore. He handed the two over to the management department, which would provide the necessary guidance, communication, and psychological counseling. Of course, all the attendant work would be taken care of as well.
As for Wu Ya and Sun Jian, they simply had to bear with it for a while.
"There's no rush for those two for now. With two already debuted, rushing might just lead to infighting, not to mention a waste of resources."
With Li Guang and Phoenix Legend keeping the studio busy, the remaining two would have to wait.
The call came from Sister Hua, and Chu Tian casually explained.
"Alright, just handle it however you see fit. I think you do it better than I could anyway."
"Sister Hua, don't say that. I always feel like you're ironically praising me. I haven't even been to my own company in days, and you're still trying to recruit me for more work."
"What are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? You really do it better than me."
"Stop, stop, Sister Hua. If you keep this up, I'm going to hang up."
Seeing her little ploy exposed, Sister Hua could only regretfully give up.
"Okay, don't hang up just yet; I've got something else to discuss."
"What's up?"
"Qingqiu called me yesterday. Didn't she tell you about the charts?"
"Charts? What charts?"
"The hot song charts! No wait, now there's a new song chart added..."
At this point, Sister Hua's tone was complex, a mix of pride and frustration.
"The hot song chart?"
These past few days, Chu Tian had been preoccupied with lawsuits and dealing with the debuts of newcomers. He hadn't had the mental capacity to even think about any charts.
Could something have happened?
"What do you think? You've dominated the chart, did you know?"
"Dominated the chart?"
Hearing this news, he was somewhat surprised. It was still largely unexpected, though perhaps the outcome had just been a bit delayed.
After ending the call and recalling his conversation with Sister Hua, Chu Tian gave a wry smile. He reached for his phone, intending to go online and see what exactly was going on.
After all, keeping up with juicy stories was his hobby.
He first checked a short video platform to see if it had sparked any buzz. The very first video made him burst out laughing.
It was nothing other than a square dance, and it even used that song he knew all too well.
"The vast sky is my love!"
"Under the endlessly stretching green mountains, flowers bloom..."
Surprisingly, instead of middle-aged women, it was a bunch of older men dancing. What was going on here?
Glancing at the title in the lower-left corner, Chu Tian couldn't help but laugh.
[Brothers, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em! I'll go first!]
What the hell, 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'? Looking at the video's background, it appeared to be a basketball court.
Combining the basketball seen in the corner with the jerseys worn by the dancers, he could pretty much guess the general situation.
But joining just because you can't beat them is a bit much, isn't it?
Look at those uncles and aunts next to them; don't they look aggrieved?
"HAHAHA, I'm dying! That auntie's face has gone green."
"Misery loves company, huh? It's all because of this song. I never realized there were so many square dances before. How did they all pop up at once?"
"Don't even get me started! Our neighborhood originally had one square dance team, but now, look! Suddenly four teams have sprung up from all directions, fighting over dance space every day."
"Does anyone understand the pain of a night-owl? Construction started downstairs in June and finally finished in September. Then the neighborhood underwent renovations, which were completed in November, only for the upstairs neighbors to start their own. Now, there's square dancing on top of it all! Is it really so hard to get some sleep during the day?"
"To the person upstairs, it's not quiet at night either! They used to finish by eight or nine, but now they go on until eleven every night. These aunties, despite their age, have more stamina than I do. And the worst part is, I still have to go to work!"
"It's all this song's fault. What was the songwriter thinking? Are they sick in the head?"
"Like everyone's saying, 'if you can't beat them, join them.' I'm ready. Anyone want to go downstairs and dance a round?"
"Hey, you know, after listening to this song so much, it's kinda catchy. I actually think I quite like it."
"Right, right, me too! I saw so many people cursing it that I didn't dare say anything, but the song actually sounds pretty good."
"We're not saying it's bad, but man, this thing is addictive! After listening to it just once, I can't sleep. My legs keep shaking like they're not my own—who can stand that?"
"HAHAHAHA, stop it! I'm already starting to shake!"
"You are my most beautiful cloud in the sky~"
"Damn, are you trying to poison me?"
"I paused the video just to read the comments for some comfort, and here you are, posting voice messages in the comment section. Isn't that a bit much?"
"What? You can post voice messages in the comments now?"
"There's a fool here, kick him out!"
"Let me hold you close with all my heart~"
"Get lost!"
"Stay!"
"..."
"Shoot, why am I getting hooked?"
"It really is addictive. Tell me, why am I almost sick of hearing it but still can't help clicking to watch the videos? Am I a masochist?"
"Fellow masochist here! Me too. Every time I hear this song, I feel like stabbing myself. But not only do my legs start shaking involuntarily, I also can't resist clicking on any video featuring it."
"Damn, I can't take it anymore; it's just too addictive."
"I've gotten to the point where I can't sleep without hearing this song. Isn't this what they call a terminal illness?"
"You're just too far gone; the poison has rotted your brain."
