104. We owe Ji Fanxing an apology.

Page 1/3

Brimming with confidence, Tang Song entered the recording studio, ready to give his all. He spared no expense to amplify the promotion of the upcoming release of his new song across various platforms, pushing it to the top of trending searches.

He believed that once the song dropped tomorrow, it would attract a massive number of downloads—perhaps even surpassing ten million on the very first day!

In the executive meeting room at DouShou, Feng Teng glanced over the data in his hands, equally pleased.

It had only been half an hour since Lu Tianyu released “Drowning,” yet the two songs available on DouShou’s newly launched music channel, “Bubble Music,” had already exceeded ten million downloads.

“President Feng, Miss Ji declined to meet with us yesterday. When the shareholders found out, there was considerable discontent; some even proposed shutting down the music channel altogether.

“But now that we have a song from Lu Tianyu, I believe no one will have any objections.”

Originally, per the agreement with “The Almighty King of Song,” Feng Teng had arranged the venue for the finals and was to have a private meeting with Ji Fanxing for the season.

However, yesterday, Feng Teng’s assistant waited on-site for a long time to pick up Ji Fanxing, only to be told by the production crew that she was with Chu Hao and unavailable.

Later, the assistant personally went near Ji Fanxing’s dressing room and indeed saw Chu Hao’s figure before leaving, disappointed.

Chu Hao’s identity was no secret to them; not only was he the heir to Jiangshan Entertainment, but also the sole successor of Shengshi Group.

Ji Fanxing’s refusal to meet Feng Teng because of him was quite convincing.

Upon learning this, Feng Teng was naturally displeased. Coupled with today’s rumors, the shareholders felt that due to the negative news surrounding Ji Fanxing, the music channel created for her might be boycotted by angry netizens.

Even though “Invisible Wings” had brought substantial revenue to the platform, DouShou, relying heavily on its online presence, could not afford such turmoil.

Thinking this through, Feng Teng exhaled deeply. Fortunately, it was all behind them now.

Not only was “Invisible Wings” officially recognized as a positive-energy song used in public service advertisements, but the top star Lu Tianyu also released this new track on Bubble Music.

With his influence, DouShou might genuinely succeed in its transformation!

In an instant, Feng Teng’s gloom lifted. He no longer saw Ji Fanxing’s actions yesterday as snubbing him out of arrogance; she was truly a lucky charm!

Even if the collaboration fell through, they must treat her well. Today she brought them Lu Tianyu; tomorrow, she might bring even greater opportunities!

“Immediately initiate a widespread promotion campaign for ‘Drowning.’ We must let as many people as possible hear this song to solidify DouShou’s music channel!

“In one hour, convene a meeting to optimize the music channel. We must seize this momentum to upgrade the channel comprehensively!”

From eight to nine in the evening was when DouShou users were most active.

That day, whether it was office workers returning from work, students finishing their homework, or homemakers busy after a long day, everyone heard a unique song.

No matter who they were, at that moment, they were all captivated by the melody, as if it possessed a certain magic, transcending the screen to touch each person’s heartstrings.

“My goodness, I’m stunned! I can’t believe such a beautiful song can be heard in Longguo!”

“Who is this singer? Within one minute, I want all his information… What! It’s Lu Tianyu singing! Oh my god!”

“Am I hallucinating at work? Ji Fanxing and Lu Tianyu—the dream team! It’s perfect! ‘Drowning’ is so beautiful, I’m drowning in it.”

“Damn, has society’s pace sped up so much? This morning on my way to work, I glanced at my phone, and everyone was saying Ji Fanxing wasn’t worthy to write songs for Lu Tianyu; at lunch, coworkers said Lu Tianyu was blinded by lust, and now suddenly they’re the perfect pair?!

“Are you all just bored all day? Can the pace slow down? Us old workhorses can’t keep up!”

“… Suddenly remembered, I think I also criticized Ji Fanxing today…”

“You guys say she has character flaws every day, but all I see is her sincerity. Honestly, how can such a song not be worthy of Lu Tianyu?”

“After listening to Ji Fanxing’s songs, I finally understood the joy that music’s sound can bring. Looking back, apart from Ji Fanxing and a few others, I couldn’t really bear to listen to the rest.”

“As expected, it’s easy to go from frugality to luxury, but hard to return. My ears tell me what I heard before was rubbish.”

“Finally, a singer-songwriter who blesses us all comes along, yet people keep stirring drama, doubting her every move, demanding she quit the industry. Are we supposed to just keep listening to trash and be content?”

“Ji Fanxing has been insulted all day from last night until now, but she hasn’t said a word. I suddenly feel so sorry for her!”

“Now that I think about it, there’s no concrete evidence whether Ji Fanxing hurt her sister or messed around backstage…”

“Yeah, that so-called ‘Ji Fanxing conspiring with Ning Ze’ video was long proven to be doctored, but too few people paid attention…”

“It’s not that people didn’t care, they just weren’t interested. Most just wanted to vent their emotions online through something.”

“Could it be that we all misunderstood Ji Fanxing…”

“So, in fact, we all owe Ji Fanxing an apology.”

The next morning, before the sun had fully chased away the night’s chill, #Sorry, Ji Fanxing# surged to the top of trending searches on every platform.

In a suite at the Royal Court Hotel, Ji Fanxing smiled softly.

In this chaotic and restless era, everyone has their own voice and opinions, which intertwine and clash online, creating a roaring sea of noise.

In this sea, even the slightest ripple can trigger towering waves, pushing people’s emotions to the brink.

Recalling her previous life, she was like a fragile boat tossed by stormy waves, helpless and lost amid the fierce winds of online abuse.

Every misunderstanding and accusation felt like a sharp blade piercing her heart, causing unbearable pain.

Yet in this life, she was no longer that fragile vessel.

From the start, she understood that people have eyes and hearts. Facing rumors and slander, if she could endure to the end, they would naturally see and feel what was real.

When those deceived finally realized the truth, that would be her moment to strike back.

“Huh?”

Within half an hour, Ji Fanxing suddenly noticed that the trending search #Sorry, Ji Fanxing# had dropped, along with #Lu Tianyu ‘Drowning’# and # ‘Drowning’ is so beautiful#.

In their place were #Tang Song’s new song about to release#, #Tang Song’s first collaboration with Master Qu, a tailor-made heartbreak ballad#, #Tang Song recording all night for fans#... and other such trends.

Ji Fanxing clicked to take a look. The flood of trending topics was filled with comments that made no sense—obviously bought promotions.

She had waited from her previous life for this “Sorry” trending topic to heat up, only to see it suppressed so easily?

A faint arc curled at the corner of her lips, a subtle yet chilling smile in her eyes, sharp as a blade. Her expression was so deadly that even a tiger would retreat three steps.

“Tang Song? Isn’t he the one who abuses banned substances?

“Yesterday’s trending topic vanished so quickly, and today they’re buying it up again? Do they think the internet has no memory?

“In that case, I’ll give you a trending reply that you’ll never forget.”
