Chapter 013 Resentment
In the evening, Lin Rui received a video file from Chen Tianye.
The video content is not unusual; most of the shots revolve around students dragging their suitcases out of the campus and saying goodbye at the school gate and train station.
Of course, many close-up shots of students' faces were also captured to express their reluctance to leave the school, teachers, and classmates before they departed.
"Xiao Rui! I have good news for you. Your new song has already secured fifth place, and it's less than 300,000 downloads away from fourth place."
"President Zhou said in the meeting that the company will do its best to compete for a top-three spot on this graduation season's new song chart!"
Just the top three?
Lin Rui wasn't as concerned about the rankings as Zheng Jing was, not because he didn't care about the results.
Given the quality of the lyrics and music of "Those Years," he would only care about when to take first place, not whether he could take first place at all.
"Sister Zheng, I have something to ask you. Could you please inform Han Jiayu to come to the recording studio tomorrow morning for a test performance?"
"A singing rehearsal?"
"A new song?"
Zheng Jing, who was in a state of excitement, was also stunned when she heard this.
She even wondered if she was hallucinating.
"I just took on a custom project, also themed around graduation season," Lin Rui explained.
"No...no...Xiao Rui, your songwriting speed is way too fast!"
Zheng Jing was deeply shocked to learn that Lin Rui was indeed going to release a new song.
Although she is not a professional music producer, she knows that from conception to creation to completion, a song requires not only inspiration but also a huge amount of time to fill the process.
But Lin Rui just received the assignment today, and now he's already urging her to have someone audition tomorrow?!
Is writing songs this easy now?
"I kept some stock from before."
Lin Rui found a reasonable explanation for himself.
Upon hearing about the inventory, Zheng Jing decisively stopped asking further questions.
What professional music producer doesn't have some hidden gems in their repertoire?
"I'll inform Xiao Han later."
Just as she was about to end the call, Zheng Jing remembered something and continued, "Xiao Rui, do you still remember Li Mubai who participated in the selection with you last time?"
"I vaguely remember."
Lin Rui nodded.
"There's something I forgot to tell you. Actually, when the new song was climbing the charts, it had already fallen out of the top 30."
"At that time, the ranking was still falling. Once it fell out of the top 40, it would be very difficult to squeeze back into the list."
"At this moment, Li Mubai rallied millions of fans to help you climb the charts."
"I only found out today that he voluntarily gave up the company's promotional resources during graduation season in order to help you."
Lin Rui listened quietly and smiled, "Understood. Please ask Sister Zheng to inform him to come for a rehearsal tomorrow morning."
After ending the call, Zheng Jing did not immediately notify Han Jiayu, but instead called Luo Qi first.
"Zheng Jing, aren't you afraid this cooked duck will fly away?"
"What's there to be afraid of? It's just fair competition. Besides, is our Xiao Han really that bad?"
"You said it yourself, don't regret it later."
"Tch, I'm too lazy to chat with you, I'm going to check the rankings."
Luo Qi's teasing tone changed slightly: "Thanks."
"Alright, stop getting so sentimental, I'm hanging up."
After this mutual assistance, Zheng Jing and Luo Qi's relationship has clearly grown much closer.
Li Mubai stared intently at Luo Qi, who had put down her phone, with a look of longing and anticipation.
He had overheard Luo Qi and Zheng Jing's conversation earlier and had roughly grasped the gist of it, and now he was feeling quite uneasy.
"Sister Qi..."
Seeing that Luo Qi remained silent for a long time, Li Mubai finally couldn't sit still any longer.
Pfft!
"Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore."
