Chu Tian stared at the suddenly altered Hot Songs Chart, utterly bewildered.

He felt as if something he wasn't aware of had happened. How had his songs topped the chart again without any warning?

Curious, he went online to check. It turned out that the song "Teenager" had suddenly become popular due to an internet celebrity's cover.

Or rather, it wasn't just the song that became popular; a short drama filmed by the influencer resonated with people, causing the song to go viral.

If that were the case, perhaps only this one song would have flared up in popularity, and that would be the end of it.

But somehow, a netizen had suddenly posted in the comments, "Xu Qingqiu is really a hidden gem of a singer; a track from her album becomes a hit every few days!"

That comment, inexplicably, was upvoted relentlessly and ended up staying at the top for over a week.

Curious onlookers who hadn't heard them specifically sought out Xu Qingqiu's album, while those who had, suddenly felt the urge to listen to it countless more times.

And just like that, because of this one song's resurgence, the entire album, along with previously released singles and live versions performed at concerts, saw a meteoric rise in streaming numbers.

Within a few days, her songs steadily climbed the Hot Songs Chart and stayed there.

"Heh, quite unexpected," Chu Tian remarked.

Seeing this result, Chu Tian was also speechless.

However, this situation wasn't too surprising. After all, in his previous life, songs on short-form video platforms would inexplicably become hits from time to time.

Many people couldn't escape these songs, whether they actively listened or deliberately tried to avoid them.

Dinosaur riding the waves, WHOOSH-ZAP! WHOOSH-ZAP!

Love you walking alone in the dark alley.

Goodbye Mom, I'm setting sail tonight~

A seed planted in my heart, DA LA DI DA LA~

Digging in the tiny garden, digging and digging~

His head was buzzing; in just a brief moment, a string of melodies resounded in Chu Tian's mind.

You wouldn't even know how these songs got popular; they just did, and you could hear them everywhere.

The crucial part was that by simply scrolling through a few videos, people would involuntarily memorize the lyrics without even trying.

In short, it was utterly bewildering. However, it also demonstrated that the new internet age—or more accurately, the mobile internet era—was completely different from before.

New communication methods, new rhythms, and a new internet ecosystem meant that marketing and publicity required entirely different approaches.

Those who couldn't keep up would eventually be weeded out.

Of course, these considerations were still distant for Chu Tian and not something he needed to worry about yet.

However, watching the internet celebrity singing on his phone gave Chu Tian an idea.

If a cover can get popular this easily, what about an arrangement? Or I could let Xu Qingqiu try, he mused.

Of course, that was just a thought; he didn't have time to try it yet.

Apart from his songs dominating the music chart, Chu Tian didn't have much else going on.

Li Guang's new song was still gaining traction. The team was currently working on slowly shifting the buzz and discussion from Platform A to short-form video platforms.

Li Guang himself was also constantly training and preparing for the upcoming anime festival.

They needed to wait for feedback from the anime festival. If his performance was impressive, the team would take this opportunity to start a full-scale push into short-form videos.

They were trying to see if he could expand his reach. If successful, Li Guang could attract an even larger wave of traffic.

Yang Lin and Chen Feng couldn't rush things either. Their "Square Dance Divine Tune" was still in the fermentation stage. Their time to take the stage would come only when it truly swept the nation.

For now, they could start by taking on some commercial performances to acclimate to the stage and the working rhythm of being artists.

Later, Chu Tian would consider planning a new song or album for them.

Sun Jian and Wu Ya had said they weren't in a rush and needed to wait a bit longer.

After thinking it over, Chu Tian realized he didn't really have much else to do.

In that case, should I go find Qingqiu? I haven't seen her for days...

He rubbed his hands, feeling a bit restless.

In this cold weather, with his girlfriend not by his side, he didn't even know where to put his hands. It was quite an uncomfortable feeling.

Just as he was wondering whether to buy a ticket to see his girlfriend, his phone rang.

Hm? Old Wei? Why is he calling me?

Seeing that it was Wei Liangxiao calling, Chu Tian wondered if something had gone wrong.

This was because Wei Liangxiao usually contacted Hou Yichuan directly with any issues. He rarely reached out to Chu Tian unless Hou Yichuan couldn't solve the problem.

Could it be that the new variety show encountered a problem?

With this thought, he quickly picked up.

"What's up, Old Wei? Did something happen?"

"Well... President Chu, is Chunhua really busy lately?"

Chunhua? Who's Chunhua?

Hearing the name, Chu Tian initially drew a blank. He racked his brain but couldn't recall anyone named 'Chunhua'.

The moment he asked, the other end suddenly went silent.

Wei Liangxiao was crouching at home, a dejected expression on his face, though unfortunately, Chu Tian couldn't see it.

"Li Chunhua! Sister Hua... President Chu, you can't play games like this with me."

"Ah? Oh oh, haha, sorry, sorry, it really didn't click for me."

Chu Tian hurriedly apologized, struggling to suppress his laughter.

However, the smile on his face only seemed to grow wider.

Damn, Chunhua?! HEH HEH HEH... What's going on with Old Wei? Him and Sister Hua? That form of address is so cheesy.

Completely unaware that Chu Tian had been inwardly mocking him for some time, Wei Liangxiao hesitated before finally asking.

"Is she at the company? Is she very busy?"
