Jiangdu Fourth Hospital.
Lu Ming's wife looked at Lu Ming sadly.
"Old Lu, you're the one complaining about back pain while doing homework. Why are you suddenly hospitalized? Are you hiding some terminal illness from us?"
"Pah, pah, pah!" Lu Ming glanced at the door of the ward and growled in a low voice, "Can't you, an old woman, hope for the best for me? I told you, you're just pretending, pretending, pretending!"
"You were just promoted to Director of the Publicity Department of your company. Why are you pretending to be sick and hiding in the hospital? Tell me, have you been having an affair at the company? I knew it. There are so many little devils in your entertainment company, and you are the one who is troublesome..."
Lu Ming said helplessly: "Can you please shut up your amazing imagination?"
"Right now, the company is abuzz with the gods, and the mortals are suffering. On one side is the newly appointed CEO, Xiao Xu, and on the other is the company's veteran, Vice President Xue. They both come to the artists below to ask for promotional resources. Who do you think I should give it to?"
"Mr. Xu is not the chief, and Vice-President Xue is the vice-President. Of course, it should be given to your Mr. Xu." Lu Ming's wife gave him advice.
"If it were that easy, why would I hide in the hospital and pretend to be dead? Vice President Xue has been in the company for over ten years, and he promoted many of the senior executives. He has fewer shares than President Xu. But you have to understand that the current Tianfeng Entertainment is no longer the same Tianfeng."
"Tianfeng now has Jiangdu Entertainment above it. Although Jiangdu Entertainment hasn't interfered with Tianfeng's management so far, it's still the largest shareholder. Vice President Xue actually has a greater sphere of influence in the company. Many people support President Xu now because she's still the president. What if Jiangdu Entertainment promotes President Xue to maintain stability? What do you think I should do?"
"Then, then you should support Mr. Xue now."
"So you're short on knowledge and wisdom. Boss Xu and Boss Xue are still testing the waters, and they haven't revealed all their cards, yet you're already rushing to place a bet? It's a good thing I didn't take you with me last time I went to Australia, otherwise you would have lost all the money for your return flight."
"Then you can't offend both sides?"
"Oh, there are only so many promotional resources. For example, there's one main advertising space in front of the Qiansheng Building, but there are quite a few secondary advertising spaces. But should I assign the main advertising space to Mr. Xu or Mr. Xue? This kind of thing is so unfair, so I simply won't give it to him. Isn't Old Wang jealous that I got promoted while he's still the deputy? Hehe, I'll leave everything to him this time."
"Wait, you said we went to Aodu last time? How come I didn't know about that? Sure enough, Lao Lu, you went to Aodu without telling me. I think you want to test the speed of the WiFi in this hospital more often, right?"

Xue Congfu looked at the picture sent to him on his phone. It was the main advertising space in Qiansheng Building. A poster showed a street covered in maple leaves, with a tall woman in a windbreaker in the background. Next to it were the words: "Goodbye Autumn." Tianfeng Entertainment's next-generation new artist, "Guan Yue—Creating New Miracles in the Music World, Bringing New Touches of Music!"
Satisfied, he closed his phone. Humph, that Lu Ming had a pretty good plan. He thought he could avoid offending anyone by hiding in the hospital? Once this incident was over, he could promote Xiao Wang, the current sensible Deputy Minister of the External Propaganda Department, to a regular position.
***
At the same time, Yan Zi's album "Cicada 3" was also being promoted extensively. The intensity of this promotion was naturally not comparable to that of the first single, but because the current Deputy Minister of the Ministry of External Propaganda, Wang, had sided with Xue Congfu, it was overshadowed by Guan Yue's "Goodbye Autumn" in all aspects.
"'Cicada III' currently has a combined online popularity of 1.7, while 'Goodbye Autumn' has just reached 2.4," Feng Xiaoyun said, looking at the report in his hand. "Among all the new albums released in September, 'Goodbye Autumn' is currently ranked third, while our 'Cicada III' is currently ranked seventh."
"I have called my father and asked him to contact some media outlets with whom he has good connections to promote our business," Xu Linling said helplessly.
After all, she had just returned to China. Once the External Propaganda Department sided with Xue Congfu in terms of external publicity, the only thing she could do was to borrow her father's previous connections. For her who was determined to prove herself, this was quite unpleasant.
Sister Chen comforted them, saying, "While publicity is important, the quality of the album is even more important. Even though we're not as popular as the other team right now, we've already let a lot of people know about Yan Zi's upcoming album. Furthermore, Yan Zi's last album sold millions of copies, and he has a significant fan base. These are things the other team can't compare to."
After thinking for a while, Sister Chen said, "Feng Xiaoyun, go to Yan Zi's fan club and arrange some activities. Our fan base is our advantage now. After all, Guan Yue is still a 100% newcomer."
Feng Xiaoyun nodded, logged into his own account and entered Yan Zi's WeChat fan group. The fans in the group were discussing Yan Zi's new album, and occasionally some people could be seen scolding Guan Yue.
"Hello everyone, I'm Feng Xiaoyun, Yan Zi's assistant. Yan Zi's new album, 'Cicada 3,' will be officially released tomorrow. I hope everyone will support Yan Zi without slandering anyone else. Miss Guan Yue is also a very good singer. This simultaneous album release is arranged by the company. There is no question of one person stealing the other's resources. Please just cheer for Yan Zi."
Little Salt is the name given to Yan Zi by his fans.
"At the same time, in order to thank all the supporters of Xiaoyanli, we will hold a lucky draw this time. For those who purchase the digital album tomorrow, we will randomly give out 100 first prizes and 10,000 second prizes."
"The second prize winner will receive an authentic physical poster sent by us."
"[picture]"
A poster with a colorful half of Yan Zi's delicate face on the left and a black and white cicada on the other.
The slogan above only has one sentence: No 23-year-old girl can sing like her!
"Ah, my wife is really beautiful!"
"Everyone, get out of the way. I'm taking insulin lately. Let me wake him up!"
"A newbie's question: Is gender a big deal to Yan Zi when choosing a partner?"
"I just bumped my head and lost some of my memory. I want to ask why you are all here discussing my wife."
"Can you guys upstairs please quiet down and let Assistant Feng tell us what the first prize is? I've already sold my brother and am planning on buying an album."
“First prize for the same question!”
"+1 for the same question"
"In addition to receiving an authentic physical poster, the first-place winner will also receive a custom USB drive containing the lossless versions of the three songs, as well as some studio footage from the recording process."
"There's also a mysterious song inside. This song will only appear on the USB drive we gave you and will not be included in any future albums."
"Let me put it this way, if the three songs in Yan Zi's 'Cicada 3' made you cry, then this song will make you laugh!"
