68: I thought it was God's gift, but I didn't expect that God was chasing me to feed me a full banquet.

Just as Tang Chen thought of this, he heard a few clear guitar notes, and the melody line was gentle yet full of tension, as if a starry sky was unfolding before him.

He tilted his head slightly.

Hmm? It’s not “flammable and explosive”?

Immediately after, a slightly hoarse male voice sounded in his ear, “the brightest star in the night sky…”

The marketing account couldn’t edit the full version, so after half a minute, Tang Chen was still enjoying it when the sound abruptly stopped.

The marketing account, with a strained voice, excitedly said, “It’s so good! Tonight, little A is going to fall asleep listening to this song. When will the full version be released? Hurry up, hurry up!”

This voice also pulled him back to reality.

Tang Chen raised his hand to cover his forehead, leaning against the sofa back, his mouth slightly open, his eyes full of disbelief and pleasant surprise.

Huh?

For the first time, he felt a bit foolish in terms of resource allocation.

What’s going on with Chen Fang?

Other people have a flash of inspiration, but his inspiration is like a continuous flood.

He originally thought he was blessed by God, but he didn’t expect God to chase after him, feeding him a full Manchu Han Imperial Feast and even giving him Michelin three-star service.

Tang Chen was a bit dazed, and after a moment, he remembered a piece of news. Someone who had poor grades was accidentally hit on the head and became a genius after waking up. The doctor said this was called acquired savant syndrome.

Could Chen Fang be the same?

Oh my, he wants this kind of opportunity too!

Tang Chen turned his head to look at his wife’s phone and sighed, “Is this potential being unleashed?”

His wife shrugged, “Maybe it’s because the past month has been too miserable? He’s been blacklisted across the entire internet.”

The smile in Tang Chen’s eyes gradually disappeared, and he sighed deeply.

Just thinking about it, he knew that being blacklisted across the entire internet wasn’t something everyone could handle. After all, there were a series of ripple effects, such as people kicking him when he was down.

But fortunately, he should be able to get through it soon, right?

Tang Chen got up and walked towards the tea caddy, “It’s a blessing in disguise. No matter what, this potential is a good thing for him.”

…

“Very poor, this matter was handled very poorly.”

In the Vice President’s office on the fourteenth floor of Jia Kang Entertainment, the Vice President stood by the window with a frown, speaking to the Artist Director on the other end of the phone.

He paced back to his desk and sat down, tapping his finger on the desktop, and continued, “I’ve seen the list, and it’s still not good enough. You know very well that from past experience, the top five singers in The Voice of Nature are very likely to become first-tier or quasi-first-tier singers within two or three years. Therefore, in the past two years, every top five in each season has been highly anticipated, and their ranking comes with resources. Our company’s biggest business is idol training and artist management. The Voice of Nature is one of the most important platforms for us in a year, so how can you submit such an unreliable list? Those who sing well have average appearances, and those with good appearances sing averagely. Is this the standard of the Artist Management Department?”

The Vice President rubbed his brow, “Come to my office now; I want to discuss these five candidates with you in detail.”

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

He slapped his phone on the desk, opened the browser, and had just typed “how to pretend to understand Gen Z slang” and was about to click the search button when he suddenly caught sight of a familiar name in his peripheral vision.

The Vice President’s gaze shifted to the right, and he focused, seeing a title on the recommendation list: [Chen Fang’s new song “the brightest star in the night sky” is a masterpiece].

The Vice President immediately felt a throbbing in his temple.

Didn’t Chen Fang just release “one meat and one vegetable” a week or two ago? How could he have a new song again?

He felt a bit suppressed in his heart.

Yesterday, his friend who works in online literature told him that the thing online literature editors fear most hearing is: The book you rejected has millions of readers!

Similarly, the thing he feared most hearing was something like, The celebrity who terminated their contract with your company became a Best Actor.

The Vice President hesitated for a moment but couldn’t resist his curiosity, so he moved the mouse and clicked on the recommendation.

…

Less than a minute later, the marketing account’s voice stopped.

The Vice President took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

The Vice President gave the door a cold look, reined in his emotions, and said, “Come in.”

Artist Director Luo Ming walked in, nodding and bowing in greeting, “Mr. Zhao, it’s so late, and you’re still worrying about our department’s affairs. I’m truly ashamed.”

The Vice President smiled, moved his chair slightly to the side, and motioned for him to come closer, “Director Luo, come here.”

Luo Ming looked at his smiling face but sharp eyes and felt an invisible pressure enveloping him, his heart tightening. Would the leader demote him because of The Voice of Nature matter?

But he could only go over.

The Vice President smiled and said calmly, “Come, watch this video and listen to how he sings.”

“Hmm? Who is it?” As soon as Luo Ming asked, the Vice President pressed the play button, and the marketing account’s voice immediately provided the answer—

“Help! Chen Fang’s ‘the brightest star in the night sky’ is too amazing! It feels like the sparks from the bonfire don’t even dare to jump around!”

Luo Ming instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

What the hell? After Chen Fang terminated his contract, he’s releasing one song after another? And precisely when the company is struggling to find singers for The Voice of Nature, new songs are frequently appearing?

The marketing account’s voice stopped, and a slightly hoarse male voice sang sad yet determined lyrics.

Half a minute later, Luo Ming felt a chill in his heart.

Not only did he sing well, but the melody and lyrics also seemed to be related to the collapse incident?

“Hmm? How is it? What do you think of his singing?” The Vice President’s calm voice came.

Luo Ming felt the Vice President’s sharp gaze, his heart grew even more flustered, feeling as if the director’s position was waving goodbye to him. He quickly forced a smile and said, “No… he truly is someone who came from our company. He’s grown a lot in the past year.”

“Old Luo, you really have a good attitude.” The Vice President snorted, staring intently at Luo Ming, pointing at the screen with a pen, with no trace of a smile in his eyes, “How did you evaluate him back then? You said he had passed his peak and would only be popular for another year or two, and his commercial value would quickly decline. How is it that he now has the momentum to transform and continue to be popular?”

Luo Ming awkwardly smiled, quickly pondering how to answer.

The Vice President threw the pen onto the table and sneered, “I didn’t realize our company has become a singer incubator. Since you’re so good at training, you must bring in some excellent singers before the summer vacation.”

“Absolutely, I promise to do my best to find them!”

“If you don’t handle this well again, and the year-end performance looks bad, it will be very difficult for me to protect you, even if I want to.” The Vice President said with a smile.

Luo Ming immediately understood his unspoken meaning. If there were any more mistakes, he might face personnel changes. “Don’t worry, I promise. After the college entrance examination in June, we’ll go and discover some high school seniors; we’ll definitely find some good prospects.”

“Hmm, I trust you won’t disappoint me.”
