211: Chapter 211 Qin Xun, where are you? Singers in the music scene miss you!

In less than ten minutes, these two comments were like a bombshell, sparking a new round of online frenzy.

Ye Lan's fans flocked to comment below.

"Qin Xun? Which Qin Xun?"

"Is it that handsome, singing, Douyin chart-topping for a month, the most devoted man on the whole internet—Qin Xun?"

"Besides him, I can't think of a second Qin Xun."

"I'm ashamed to say, my name is also Qin Xun, but I'm just here to make up the numbers in this world."

"Six minutes? Are you bragging? Even if I were copying a song sheet, I couldn't finish it in six minutes!"

"Please don't use the thinking of a carbon-based lifeform to judge the capabilities of a genius."

"I kneel! I kowtow! I prostrate myself! Please, Qin Xun, step on my back to ascend the throne."

"Could Qin Xun and Ye Lan please form a CP?"

Suddenly, someone noticed something off.

"Hey! I know Qin Xun is great at writing songs, but is he really that good at singing? Teacher Wang Fen is a master musician who has been singing for a lifetime!"

"In Ye Lan's words, are they already on equal footing?"

Before long, more comments appeared.

"Yeah, Ye Lan is already famous for her singing ability. Is Qin Xun qualified to guide her?"

"I've heard him sing on Douyin and it's pretty good, but is it that good?"

At this moment, someone shared a Weibo link in the comment section—it was from Teacher Wang Fen.

Everyone clicked on it.

They saw that Wang Fen, who posted fewer than three Weibo posts a year and usually only wrote a few words, had reposted Ye Lan's video.

She added a caption.

"Thank you, Little Ye, for your overly kind praise.

In fact, I have reminded Little Ye more than once before to tone down the showmanship and increase emotional expression.

But this child... she is stubborn!

The change in Little Ye's singing style for this song 'wishing we last forever', I believe Teacher Qin Xun contributed a lot to it.

I can't keep up with the times and rarely go online, but I just searched for Teacher Qin Xun's singing videos and didn't expect him to be such a young lad.

Truly, the younger generation is formidable!

I wonder if there is an opportunity to communicate and learn with Teacher Qin?"

After confirming it wasn't a fake account, the netizens' jaws dropped.

"Teacher Wang Fen, is Qin Xun's singing really that good?"

"Did I read that right? The words used were 'communicate, learn'? Teacher Wang Fen wants to communicate and learn with Qin Xun?"

"Teacher Wang Fen is calling Qin Xun... Teacher?"

"Can anyone tag Qin Xun? Let him come here and fulfill an old person's wish."

"Um... Qin Xun doesn't have Weibo."

"Ugh... does he know how to conduct himself? Once he opens a Weibo, we'll storm his account!"

Before long, a news item titled "Netizens beg Qin Xun to open Weibo and Douyin accounts" surged onto the trending list.

After Teacher Wang Fen reposted Ye Lan's video, in less than half an hour, various big-name singers who had received guidance from Wang Fen began to repost Ye Lan's video.

Whether sincere or fake, they had to ride this massive wave of popularity.

The captions from the various celebrities were all different, presenting a picture of general joy.

"wishing we last forever, sharing the beauty of the moon from afar, I listened and cried. Congratulations to Ye Lan for obtaining a treasure of a song, um... I'll ask weakly, where is Qin Xun?"

"Congratulations to Ye Lan for further improving your singing skills, this voice really sang into my heart. Um... I'll also ask weakly, where is Qin Xun?"

"Such beautiful lyrics, such a beautiful song, such a beautiful person! Following the trend to ask, where is Qin Xun?"

"The collaboration between Ye Lan and Qin Xun is truly seamless. I'm quite straightforward, so may I ask Mr. Qin Xun, although I am a man, do I have a chance to get your... song?"

Shortly after, another topic, "Qin Xun, where are you? The singers in the music industry miss you!", surged onto the trending list.

Netizens clicked in to leave comments.

"If I were Qin Xun, I wouldn't write songs for them. I'd keep them all for myself to sing; I'd definitely become a big star."

"Qin Xun has elevated the term 'Internet Celebrity' to a height that didn't belong to them."

"Did Qin Xun enter the wrong profession? If he's so good at writing songs, why doesn't he become a singer?"

"The heat from 'Chengdu' hasn't faded yet, how come another 'wishing we last forever' is here?"

"Qin Xun, take a break! Leave a way for internet celebrities and stars to survive, don't be so competitive!"

"Do you think everyone looks up to stars? I heard Qin Xun is a major shareholder of a company, would he care about the peanuts that stars make?"

"It used to be rumored in the internet celebrity circle that Qin Xun is the Godfather of Internet Celebrities. Looking at this situation now, he's about to become the Godfather of Stars!"

"Qin Xun, lock your door at night! Be careful of male stars sneaking into your bed. Please let me suffer that hardship!"

The song "wishing we last forever" quickly dominated the Weibo and Douyin trending lists, with various topics related to it hitting the trending charts.

Suddenly! Another news item surged onto the trending list.

#CCTV-1 likes Ye Lan's "wishing we last forever".

Ye Lan's fans were instantly ecstatic, rushing to the comments section under CCTV-1's Weibo.

"Big Brother, here's an opportunity for you: let Ye Lan perform 'wishing we last forever' at the National Day Gala."

"Big Brother, I beg you! Won't it work if I kneel to you?"

"I haven't heard enough! How can I go back during the three-day Mid-Autumn Festival break? The seven-day National Day holiday is the time for our reunion!"

At this moment, in an office of a certain entertainment company.

Shen Ran watched the trending topics on Weibo and Douyin one after another, trembling with anger.

She was a quasi-first-tier singer in the country and also someone with remarkable singing skills.

Netizens praised her as "Little Ye Lan," but she felt it was an insult.

She was actually one year older than Ye Lan.

After Ye Lan was rejected by the Cheng Tai Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, the company sent out many internet trolls to attack Ye Lan, hoping to take the opportunity to let Shen Ran take her place.

Now, watching the topics about Ye Lan surging onto the trending list like they were free, Shen Ran's heart sank to the bottom.

With the sudden emergence of this "wishing we last forever", Ye Lan's position as a first-tier singer would be completely solidified.

There was even a faint hint of her pushing towards the super-first-tier.

Shen Ran's voice trembled with anger.

"Hype, this is definitely hype!"

"I didn't expect Ye Lan to actually hook up with Qin Xun. Working with an internet celebrity, doesn't she feel it's demeaning?"

Her young assistant reminded her, "Sister Shen, it is said that Qin Xun is a shareholder of Oak Company. Strictly speaking, his main profession is not an internet celebrity; he is a marketing strategy master."

Shen Ran lit a cigarette and smoked half of it in one go.

"First she withdrew from the gala, drawing ridicule from everyone."

"Seeing her status about to drop, falling from a first-tier star."

"I didn't expect that tonight she would actually throw out a song like 'wishing we last forever' to reverse the public opinion. Ye Lan is really daring to lick blood on the tip of a knife!"

"If this song wasn't so good, Ye Lan would have failed! My opportunity would have come!"

The young assistant said indignantly, "It's all Qin Xun's fault, he's the one who caused all this!"

Shen Ran raised her hand and slapped the young assistant.

"Knowing that Qin Xun is the mastermind behind the scenes, why didn't you go to Qin Xun to request a song before?"

"How come Ye Lan is the only one who can afford the price?"

"Can I not afford it?"

The young assistant shed tears of grievance.

"Sister Shen, the company has been trying to book him for a long time, but Oak Company replied saying their company's invitations are already piled up like a mountain."

"Besides internet celebrities and stars, there are many big companies."

Her voice lowered.

"Oak Company definitely prioritizes cooperating with those powerful companies."

"And choosing who to cooperate with all depends on Qin Xun's preferences. It is said that Qin Xun has a very, very big temper; ordinary companies simply can't enter his eyes."

"And he is very ruthless; his asking price starts at ten million."

"For one song, he might also ask for ten million; we really can't afford to gamble."

Shen Ran took two puffs of her cigarette and frowned slightly.

"What does Ye Lan have going for her?"

"Did she pay ten million?"

"Or did the two of them sleep together?"

In the field, Ye Lan, Wang Cui, and Xia Ning were looking at Weibo one moment and Douyin the next, their smiles never ceasing.

Qin Xun sat cross-legged on the side, playing games seriously.

Ye Lan glanced at him, finding it somewhat funny.

"Teacher Qin, I'm going to pay you 20.75 million. Right now is the turning point of my public opinion, the rising period of my career."

"And you're just sitting on the side playing games?"

She said, half-jokingly, "Don't you want to write me a song that can be performed at the CCTV National Day Gala?"

"Is your constant gaming considered dereliction of duty, or are you... slacking off?"

Suddenly! Ding! A cold, mechanical voice rang out in Qin Xun's mind.

[Congratulations to the host, you have successfully accumulated 100,000 slacking-off value points and obtained one lucky draw opportunity.]

[Does the host wish to perform the lucky draw?]
