At noon the next day, Zhou Yiyang stood next to his luxury car wearing sunglasses. No matter how handsome his face was, it could not hide the anger in his heart.
"You're too slow." Zhou Yiyang called Zhang Yiling and said, "I've been waiting downstairs for fifteen minutes and thirty-three seconds."
"Brother Yang," Zhang Yiling said in a coquettish tone, "I'm still packing my things! Isn't it a privilege for us girls to pack slowly? Wait for me!"
"I'm sorry," Zhou Yiyang's tone was still cold. "I'm a staunch advocate of gender equality. If you don't come down in four minutes, I'll go back to the company."
"Haha," Zhang Yiling was amused by Zhou Yiyang's answer: "Brother Yang, your angle is quite interesting. See you in thirty seconds."
Thirty seconds, exactly, Zhang Yiling appeared in front of Zhou Yiyang.
"I didn't expect that I would buy so many things to take back." After putting away the suitcase, Zhang Yiling sat in the passenger seat.
"If you want to buy anything, you can buy it online. It's too troublesome to bring it back." Zhou Yiyang glanced at Zhang Yiling and softened his tone. "What I said just now was not directed at you. Waiting for someone is really exhausting."
"I know," Zhang Yiling said carelessly. "It's my fault for making you wait so long. Not to mention it's your precious time that's being wasted! Hehe, I've got a billionaire making my phone. How cool!"
"You're even getting a billionaire to pick you up at the airport," Zhou Yiyang smiled. "Fasten your seatbelts! To make up for the time you wasted, we need to speed up!"
Soon, Zhang Yiling's excited laughter could be heard from the car: "Ahhhhh, it feels so good! Can you go faster? I love it!"
"No," Zhou Yiyang said calmly, "Any faster and you'll be speeding."
"Hey," Zhang Yiling leaned in closer to look at Zhou Yiyang, making him feel a little uncomfortable: "Brother Yang, do you usually have a lot of people chasing after you?"
"Generally," Zhou Yiyang said truthfully, "There are quite a lot of people who want to sleep with me."
"You're saying that in front of a minor like me!" Zhang Yiling exaggeratedly covered her eyes and said, "I'm dirty!"
"Don't you usually like to read those kinds of novels? Ruirui told me everything." Zhou Yiyang read seriously, "Something about a domineering CEO and his 18-year-old wife. Something about the wife fans of the top star. The descriptions in them are, tsk tsk tsk, disgusting."
"Ah!" Zhang Yiling wasn't shy, but regretful. "Sister Ruirui, how could you expose me?! But this kind of writing is really cool. Australian romance novels are completely unacceptable."
"It's okay to watch it occasionally, but focus on your studies. Don't wait until I win several directing awards before you start filming your first movie." Zhou Yiyang said seriously.
"I know!" Zhang Yiling propped up her chin and said, "I will definitely work hard and try to win the Best Director award before you!"
"Come on." Zhou Yiyang said very perfunctorily.
After arriving at the airport, Zhang Yiling became much quieter, which made Zhou Yiyang notice her abnormality. "Why did you suddenly become so quiet?"
Zhang Yiling pursed her lips before speaking, "Every time I return home, I'm reluctant to leave. Things are changing so fast in China right now. I always feel like when I go back, it's like going back to my village."
"Pfft." Zhou Yiyang couldn't help laughing: "Then you have to be patient and try to leave the village as soon as possible and return to the big city. But you can also strive to be the most beautiful village girl."
"You're still laughing at me!" Zhang Yiling pouted immediately: "The country girl is gone, and you, the city squire, are gone!"
Zhou Yiyang curled the corners of his mouth, stopped talking nonsense with Zhang Yiling, and patiently reminded her of safety matters.
Finally, Zhang Yiling yawned and nodded perfunctorily: "I understand, Uncle Zhou. As a child taking a plane for the first time, I won't have any problems now. Brother Yang, when you have a child in the future, you must be especially careful with him."
"Maybe." Zhou Yiyang watched Zhang Yiling enter the boarding gate.
When Zhou Yiyang left the airport, he didn't know that paparazzi had taken pictures of him and Zhang Yiling.
However, when the paparazzi was about to take credit to the editor, he was scolded by the editor and the original document was deleted.
"Are you crazy? That's Zhou Yiyang! And this woman is Zhang Yingyuan's granddaughter! There's nothing wrong with offending them. You want to kill our small magazine! Those big companies that are involved with Yiyang's entertainment artists are all gone now. You're very brave to go after their bosses! If you have this much time, you might as well stake out those boy band idols. The chances of their reputations collapsing are much higher!"
The paparazzi nodded like pounding garlic, remembering the rules of the industry: don't mess with Zhou Yiyang and his artists without solid evidence.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was the day when Billboard updated its weekly chart.
In fact, with the rise of Tik Tok and the popularity of local artists such as Moonlight Girl, English songs and Billboard are no longer as well-known in China as before.
However, this does not prevent a large number of netizens from waiting for the announcement of the weekly rankings today.
They want to witness history and see if any Chinese artist can make it into the top 50 of the American singles chart this week.
As for the World Singles Chart, anyone familiar with the European and American music circles knows that it has no credibility at all.
Wang Xingrui and Lin Xuaner entered a rare state of obsession, refreshing the official website every minute to see if there were any updates.
Tang Yue and Su Yin were much calmer. One of them was surfing the Internet intensively, while the other was responsible for comforting them.
Su Yin poured a cup of tea for Wang Xingrui and Lin Xuaner, then continued, "Didn't Brother Yang recommend a very accurate blogger to us? His predictions show that both 'Stay' and 'Havana' are in the top 50, which is pretty solid. If they don't make any last-minute adjustments to the coefficients, our songs will hopefully be in the top 30. And the data for 'Stay' looks like it could even win the title!"
An empty crown refers to a song that suddenly wins the championship. Generally speaking, a popular song needs a few weeks of promotion to increase its popularity after its release before it can win the championship.
However, for some popular singers, people will listen to their songs as soon as they are released without any promotion.
Therefore, the empty crown is also a favorable evidence to prove the singer's popularity.
If "Stay" doesn't win the title, the scene will be so beautiful.
"Can we win the championship for nothing?" Ling Hu also looked at the blogger Zhou Yiyang recommended to him: "No way, are we really that awesome?"
"It seems our performance video is super popular on TikTok in America. Plus, Brother Yang has invested in it, so he organized a campaign to encourage netizens to imitate us, and the popularity has remained high." Luo Chen hadn't been so excited in a long time. "Huh, isn't it just that the radio station banned us? But they didn't expect that one day TikTok and Moonlight, which Americans love to use, will be our Chinese!"
Ling Hu's tone became hasty: "Are we going to make history?"
