As soon as Tong Shuang entered the room, she saw Lin Beina frantically scrolling through comments on her phone.
Seeing Tong Shuang enter, she quickly called out, "Xiao Shuang, come look! The comments for this song are almost all positive, and the download and play counts are still increasing."
Seeing Lin Beina so excited, Tong Shuang didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm, but she thought to herself, "Big sister, you were a Song Queen, even if it wasn't for long, you've at least seen the world.
Those few clicks won't make any waves, okay?"
However, she said, "Hmm, the data looks good now.
I hope the popularity can last for a while.
I'll think of more ways to increase exposure and see if the company can..."
Before she could finish speaking, her phone rang.
Seeing it was her direct superior, she immediately answered, respectfully saying, "Leader, what are your instructions?"
The person on the other end of the phone didn't give Tong Shuang time to react, immediately launching into a furious scolding: "Ask Lin Beina if she's gone crazy wanting fame!
A dignified Song Queen running off to release a song on the B-list chart!
She can be shameless if she wants, but it's Xingchen Entertainment's face she's ruining!"
Tong Shuang apologized while walking towards the inner room, not wanting Lin Beina to hear those upsetting words, but before she had gone far, Lin Beina snatched the phone away.
Lin Beina was heard saying to the person on the phone, "Manager Wu, this is Lin Beina.
I made this decision on my own.
I know my contract with the company still has one year left, and the company wants to terminate it early.
How about this, don't pursue Xiao Shuang for this matter.
I'll go to the company later to discuss the termination."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then a final "Okay" before the call was hung up.
Tong Shuang took the phone back from Lin Beina and said unhappily, "Why did you do that?
You could have earned money for another year!
Besides, without Xingchen Entertainment's resources, what will you do in the future?
Who would sign you at this point?"
Lin Beina smiled freely: "If they don't sign me, they don't sign me.
Now, Xingchen Entertainment is just looking at me as having a bit of residual popularity, thinking of squeezing out my limited influence one last time to promote some newcomers.
What resources would they give me?
As for money, even if I terminate my contract early, I'll still get my salary, so there's no difference."
Seeing Lin Beina in good spirits, Tong Shuang didn't say much more.
She hadn't seen such a vibrant Lin Beina in a long time.
Suddenly, another call came in.
This time, Tong Shuang smartly didn't answer and walked directly into the inner room.
Lin Beina continued to scroll through her phone, refreshing the online comments, but the next second, the comment page froze.
She tried to refresh several times but couldn't get it to load.
Seeing Tong Shuang walk out with a strange expression, she quickly asked, "Xiao Shuang, what's wrong now?"
Tong Shuang didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment, so she could only say as calmly as possible, "A big V listened to your song and helped recommend it.
As a result, this song exploded, it completely exploded!"
Lin Beina paused, then instinctively refreshed the comment page.
Suddenly, hundreds of comments appeared, then hundreds more with another refresh, and hundreds more with another refresh.
...
A few hours earlier, the internet's big V, The Agitated Psychiatric, posted an update: "Perhaps I can still live strong!" And attached below was the link to the song "i once thought of ending it all."
The big V, The Agitated Psychiatric, was a very famous beauty blogger, with tens of millions of followers at her peak, but it was revealed that she suffered from moderate depression, which greatly worried her fans.
Especially since, as a blogger, she hadn't updated her status for nearly a month, and at this moment, this new update instantly caused a stir online.
This update not only indirectly confirmed the fact that she was indeed deeply troubled by depression, but more importantly, it showed her will to live.
While this relieved her fans, they were even more interested in the song link.
Immediately, all her fans frantically surged in, causing the B-level monthly song chart, which originally didn't have many people paying attention to it, to actually freeze due to the excessive number of visitors.
The big V's fan group was now in an uproar, with a beauty blogger's fan group frantically discussing a song:
【Little Psychiatric】: "It's exploded, it's exploded! Has anyone listened to that 'half-dead' song?
It's incredibly good, that melody, that voice that reaches deep into one's soul, it's simply amazing!"
【You're the Idiot】: "Goddamn 'half-dead', it's called 'i once thought of ending it all', okay!
But the song is indeed good, a genuine soul-cleanser, much stronger than the pop songs on the B-list chart!"
【Qiuqiu Do You Know I Love You】: "Is it that awesome?
Wait a minute, I'll go check it out!"
【Beautiful Young Lady Has Arrived】: "It's not just the song that's awesome!
Don't you see who's singing?
That's Lin Beina!
The Song Queen of yesteryear, she's still dominating the B-list chart.
But who is Night Owl?
He's credited for both lyrics and composition.
Is this person famous?
How come I haven't heard of him?"
【Kiss My Baby @】: "How did Lin Beina end up on the B-list chart?
Not long ago, I was still seeing news about her divorce lawsuit with her husband!"
【Little Psychiatric】: "Hey! I know a lot about gossip.
You wouldn't believe how awful her Scumbag husband was, and how miserable she was at the time.
Oh my god, I just realized, this song is practically tailor-made for Lin Beina!
No, I have to listen to it again."
【Painting】: "Why did the person upstairs leave mid-sentence?
No, you've piqued my curiosity, I'm going to look it up."
【Beautiful Young Lady Has Arrived】: "The person upstairs, remember to report back when you're done, I'm interested too."

Unconsciously, not only the song but also Lin Beina herself became popular.
Coupled with her story being readily available online, she was instantly pushed to the top of the trending searches, and all of this happened within just one day.
This song continuously climbed the B-level monthly song chart, reaching the top ten within just one day.
Don't think this top ten has no value; this is a free chart, and hundreds, even thousands, of songs are released here every month.
Moreover, this song was only released one day ago, so one can imagine how terrifying its ranking would be if it continued to accumulate until the end of the month.
Tong Shuang was also happy for Lin Beina, but as soon as she thought that if this song had been released on the A-list chart, it could have achieved extremely good results, but she chose to give up for the sake of Ye Xiao, she got furious.
She knew this was a rare opportunity, so she quickly made calls to secure resources, hoping to leverage this wave of popularity to gain more resources for Lin Beina.
Meanwhile, Lin Beina called Ye Xiao.
She really wanted to share this good news with Ye Xiao, and of course, she also had her own selfish reasons.
Ye Xiao on the other end of the phone seemed to have just woken up and was clearly not very energetic, but his tone was very polite.
Towards the end of their conversation, she subtly requested Ye Xiao to have her sing the next song, and Ye Xiao agreed, though his tone was a bit strange.
However, she didn't think much of it.
She was more curious as to why Ye Xiao didn't seem surprised at all by the news of the song's popularity, as if it was all a matter of course.
