Hu Wei Becomes Popular

"Director Zhang's endorsement? It looks like this is real!"

"I'm curious why Director Zhang would follow Water Strike Three Thousand. But that healing song you wrote, A Lifetime of Loneliness, is really healing. Thank you!"

"This five-character quatrain is amazing! But I bet a lot of elementary school students will hate you, hahaha. Our professor said it might be included in textbooks for kids to memorize!"

"I found you through Director Zhang's Weibo. I can understand why the director of Immortal Sword Asking for Love would follow you; the lyrics for Always Been Quiet are indeed good, and A Lifetime of Loneliness is also very healing. But why did Director Zhang follow you? Could it be that Director Zhang's film and television dramas... you wrote songs for them too?"

"Director Zhang +1. Teacher Sanqian is truly amazing. Director Zhang's Weibo only follows a few people. He didn't even follow the 'Yi Girls' he personally made famous, yet he followed you!"

"Director Zhang, who almost never posts on Weibo, specifically posted on his Weibo about this poem of yours, praising it highly. Unfortunately, I'm uncultured and just find it quite catchy to read, but I don't know what's specifically good about it."

Looking at these comments, which had been upvoted to the top, Lin Fei felt a little speechless.

The reason she hadn't followed Water Strike Three Thousand was mainly to avoid causing trouble for Song Dao, given his immense influence.

She hadn't expected that Director Zhang Yi, who had equally immense influence, would not only follow Song Dao but also post specifically about it on his Weibo.

She guessed that the aloof, money-loving guy probably didn't know yet.

Lin Fei suddenly found it quite amusing.

Especially since she saw quite a few fans of Ma Shen and Cui Luo in the comment section of this poem.

This group was mainly praising Ma Shen and Cui Luo's foresight.

--To be admired by Xia Kingdom's top director simultaneously.

It was enough to prove their astonishing judgment!

Lin Fei didn't tell Song Dao about this news. She'd let him discover it himself later.

She stood up and stretched, her perfect curves on full display at that moment.

She called Yan Yu.

She was planning to go over to record a song and also treat her best friend to a meal.

Without Yan Yu's strong recommendation, a talented young man like Song Dao might not have chosen her studio.

She had to thank her properly!

After dealing with his former colleagues and boss at the bar, Hu Wei politely replied to all the messages.

Only then did he open Penguin Music.

When he saw the rankings of A Lifetime of Loneliness on the three charts, he first took a long, deep breath.

Then he sent a message to Song Dao.

"Boss, could I invite you to my place for a meal? My cooking is quite good. Other than that, I don't know how else to repay you."

Song Dao quickly replied: "I won't be able to make it. I'm busy writing songs. You can treat yourself to a good meal. Also, be careful; you're already famous!"

"Understood!"

Although Song Dao refused, Hu Wei was still very happy.

His boss cared about him!

Also, his boss said he was writing songs, which meant...

He dared not think about it. One shouldn't be too greedy.

He owed his current success to his boss's support. As for being famous or not, he had to be more careful in the future and absolutely not get carried away.

Hu Wei rushed into the bathroom and washed his face with cold water.

Looking at his face in the mirror, which was no longer youthful but still handsome, he smiled faintly.

He turned and went into the kitchen.

Since his boss couldn't come, he would make himself a good meal.

A proper reward for himself!

In a villa complex in Jingcheng.

Zhang Qian was with a group of young, beautiful women.

These were her classmates and very close friends.

The unmarried ones would be her bridesmaids at her wedding in a few days.

Regarding her marrying the vice president of Starry Sky Film and Television, her sisters unanimously expressed their envy.

Even those who were doing well in the industry said that Zhang Qian had truly secured her future.

Passing the civil service exam was considered securing one's future; marrying a wealthy person was the grand perfection.

Weren't the ultimate goals of navigating the social scene to find a rich person to marry?

After all, relying on oneself to succeed and make a fortune was rare.

Like Zhang Qian, nearing thirty, finding a film and television executive who held stocks in a listed company as a husband was truly enviable.

She was even a little jealous.

Zhang Qian was naturally happy.

Her entire being exuded an air of nobility.

Full of spirit, she chatted and laughed with her sisters.

Her fiancé knew nothing of her past.

She had never told him.

They were all adults, and people in this circle understood that if you dug too deep into everything, you wouldn't be able to get married.

Especially since her fiancé, the vice president of a publicly listed film and television company, was no easy person to deal with.

Even now, he still frequently flirted with other women.

She didn't care about such things.

You do your thing, I'll do mine. As long as you're not caught red-handed like Lu Wen, it's fine.

The innocent Zhang Qian of the past was long dead.

The day she died was the moment she cheated.

The moment she completely separated from Hu Wei, there was no going back.

As for Hu Wei, the only thing she felt lingering attachment to now was probably in that area.

He was truly amazing!

As a woman, she had to admit that she had only ever found true satisfaction with Hu Wei.

What a pity he was such a stubborn mule!

Who were you trying to impress with your ridiculous principles?

The thought of that man made her angry.

That day, she pretended to have drunk alcohol and went to find him, wanting to rekindle their relationship.

In fact, she was just craving him.

Although the investor from before was only in his fifties, his body had already been hollowed out by alcohol and women.

He was completely useless.

With him, let alone finding satisfaction, he usually finished before she even felt anything.

At that time, to get resources, she endured being with him for over half a year.

In the end, that useless old man actually found a younger girl and dumped her.

Zhang Qian didn't care too much. She had gotten what she wanted anyway, so it wasn't a loss.

Later, at a party, she met her current fiancé.

He wasn't old, only in his early forties, divorced with no children.

A typical diamond bachelor.

Not only was he rich, but he also had connections and was single – the ideal partner Zhang Qian had always dreamed of.

The reality was just as she had hoped. Her fiancé was very generous with his money and offered a lot of resources in the film and television industry. He had even prepared a TV series and planned to make her the lead actress!

Filming would begin after the wedding.

By all accounts, this was already very good, but nothing is perfect.

Her fiancé had probably played around too much. With medication, he was fine, but without it, he was almost no different from the investor who had previously kept her.

That's why she thought of Hu Wei.

She missed him even more on lonely nights.

She wanted to rekindle her relationship with her first love, the boyfriend she had deeply loved, and then be casual friends with benefits who didn't interfere with each other's lives.

You satisfy me, I satisfy you. Isn't that good?

But she never expected to be rejected?

You damn washed-up singer who goes to bars to sing for a living, what are you acting so high and mighty for?

As a result, when she returned that night, she grew angrier the more she thought about it. She impulsively burned the photos of the two of them that she had secretly kept.

Although she regretted it the moment the flames rose, she quickly came to terms with it.

These things were like a ticking time bomb; what if they blew up someday?

Now, with the wedding approaching, seeing the envious glances of these sisters as they toured her mansion, Zhang Qian felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

Don't let these people fool you; although they seemed close to her on the surface, each and every one of them was a jealous little bitch.

When she and Hu Wei first broke up, some of these people had mocked her behind her back.

The chat screenshots discussing her had already reached her hands at that time.

Even funnier, more than one person sent them to her!

In the screenshots everyone sent her, they had all deleted what they said.

They'd have to piece together everyone's screenshots to get a complete "treasure map."

Look at what they said back then, and then look at their reactions today.

Zhang Qian really wanted to laugh.

I love how you're all mad with jealousy, yet still can't measure up to me!

Just then, someone suddenly exclaimed.

Based on Zhang Qian's years of experience with drama, the other party was clearly doing it on purpose.

But she was in a good mood today, so she played along and asked.

"What's wrong, sweetie? Why the big fuss?"

Her slightly plump best friend's expression was a little complicated.

"Heh, it's nothing, Qianqian. It's fine."

"Oh, don't keep me in suspense! Just say it if there's something!" another best friend said with dissatisfaction.

"Yeah, yeah, hurry up and tell us! Is there some new gossip? Did another top star fall from grace?"

"Haven't most of the top stars who were going to fall already fallen?"

"Haha, Immortal Sword Asking for Love is super popular lately. Could it be about dating rumors between Qin Ge and Zhao Xue? Don't believe that stuff, it's just for hype."

The women chattered amongst themselves.

The plump woman who had exclaimed waved her hand. "No, it's about Qianqian's ex-boyfriend."

"Hu Wei?"

"What news could he have?"

"Isn't he singing at a bar? Did he get into a fight? Or did some rich older woman take him in?"

The women burst into laughter again.

These women no longer looked at their former classmate, the talented student from the Central Conservatory of Music, with the same adoring, affectionate gazes as they once did.

Nor would they be jealous of Zhang Qian, that scheming bitch, for stealing their male idol.

A man who sang at a bar didn't deserve their adoration.

Zhang Qian looked at her best friend and frowned. "I haven't had anything to do with him for a long time. Stop beating around the bush. If you have something to say, say it. Otherwise, we still have rehearsal later..."

"Hu Wei is trending," the plump best friend said, glancing at Zhang Qian with a complicated expression.

The lively, spacious living room of the villa instantly fell silent.

Everyone looked incredulous.

Zhang Qian chuckled. "Did he get into trouble? A place like a bar... Could he have accidentally slept with a minor?"

The others had similar reactions.

After a moment of stunned silence, their expressions returned to normal.

How else could a talented student from the Central Conservatory of Music, who sang at a bar, become famous?

"Someone filmed him singing and posted it on Audiovisual, My Show, and it went viral?" someone asked.

"He released a song that hit the top three charts on Penguin Music. Now, discussions about him on Audiovisual and My Show are trending, and he might even be close to hitting the trending topics!"

The plump best friend, who was also Hu Wei's classmate, looked at Zhang Qian and said with some emotion, "I really didn't expect this..."

Zhang Qian picked up her phone and first logged into Audiovisual, then searched for Hu Wei in the search bar.

She had been busy with wedding preparations day and night lately and hadn't paid any attention to entertainment gossip news.

She had no idea what had happened.

As soon as she typed in his name, a large number of search suggestions popped up in the Audiovisual search bar, startling her!

[Hu Wei's A Lifetime of Loneliness]

[Hu Wei's Water Strike Three Thousand]

[Hu Wei and Kong Xi's Feiyang Music Movement]

[Hu Wei's Healing Songs]

Zhang Qian was instantly dumbfounded.
