Has Senior Returned to East Sea?
Welcome to episode 126 of "I'm Trapped in the Same Day for a Thousand Years," exclusively produced by Feilu Novel Network, narrated by Sang Ze Wang Xiaomo Lao He.
Wu Yurong couldn't let his daughter know about his relationship with Wu Chen; he didn't even want his daughter Song Xuan, to come to this Private Dining Room to see him.
Even though Song Xuan came, it didn't seem like anything special; everyone was dressed formally for the meal.
Even if outsiders saw Wu Chen's girlfriend, Li Ruobing, in the private room, or even if someone who knew who was there saw her, there wouldn't be a problem. They would just assume that Li Ruobing was having dinner with her boyfriend and friends.
Even so, and there shouldn't be any major problems, Wu Yurong still felt she had to be careful. She should try her best to keep the fact that she knew her daughter's senior a secret from her.
I just got downstairs to have dinner with my friends.
Mom, which Private Dining Room are you in?
Song Xuan then asked another question.
Is it convenient for me to come over?
Song Xuan didn't mean anything by it; he just felt that since he'd run into them, he should come over and say hello, since he was having dinner with friends.
Wu Yurong said after careful consideration.
Xuanxuan, are you on the First Floor?
That way I'll go downstairs and prevent my daughter from coming over.
Wu Yurong was about to go over, and everyone in the Private Dining Room was watching Wu Yurong make a phone call. Apart from Wu Chen, no one noticed anything wrong with Wu Yurong.
Wu Yurong, the mother, only answered her daughter's call and spoke with her for a few more words before hanging up.
My daughter and her friend are also having dinner here. I'll go for a bit; you guys chat first.
Wu Yurong smiled sweetly, and as she spoke, she got up and walked around the table to leave.
After Wu Yurong left and the door closed, Su Qingying visibly breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't shown anything wrong during their casual conversation, and his smile seemed perfectly normal. But in reality, he felt pressure. This pressure wasn't about being afraid of anyone. He respected Wu Yurong, but Wu Yurong and Wu Chen were two different things, so he certainly wasn't afraid.
His pressure actually came from Wu Yurong and Li Ruobing, because he could clearly sense that something was wrong between them. Something must have happened before. Although they didn't argue at the dinner table, it was too obvious that they were ignoring each other.
Su Qingying was worried that the two of them would clash, and he didn't want to take sides or support anyone; just thinking about it gave him a headache.
Now that Wu Yurong has temporarily left, Su Qingying feels much more relieved.
Honey, when did you and Ms. Wu start dating?
Su Qingying suddenly leaned closer to Wu Chen through her mother and asked softly.
After asking the question, he subconsciously glanced at Li Ruobing.
Not long ago, Wu Chen was smiling, right?
How did you do that?
Su Qing was unsure how to ask. She was extremely curious; it was too unbelievable. Before, when Wu Yurong was present, she couldn't ask directly. Now that Wu Yurong was out and the others were around, Su Qingying felt it didn't really matter, but it was all very complicated.
Wu Chen smiled at Su Qing again, clearly indicating that he didn't want to explain.
Big Bad Guy, drawing heart- Big Radish,
At this moment, Mu Qianqian spoke up, humming at Wu Chen and giving Wu Chen a wink.
Before Wu Yurong answered the phone, Mu Qianqian whispered to Wu Chen, repeatedly asking him what was going on Wu Chen and Wu Yurong.
Wu Chen raised his hand and flicked Mu Qianqian's forehead lightly, then smiled and asked, "You called me Big Bad Guy again? Who's the Big Radish?"
How about I send you abroad with Big Radish?
Sister Qingying, look how she bullies my mother!
Cut!
He immediately moved closer to Su Qingying, pouting and looking like he wanted protection. Did he really have the nerve to act silly?
Su Qingying smiled slightly. "He bullied you?"
He's bullying me too, I can't help you. Why don't you ask your sister Ruobing?
As she said this, Su Qingying gave Mu Qianqian a wink.
Mu Qianqian glanced at Li Ruobing, then stood up, walked around Wu Chen to the other side, grabbed Li Ruobing's arm, and said pitifully, "Sister Ruobing, your man is bullying me too much."
The quirky and clever Mu Qianqian is very good at talking; her phrase "your man" really pleased Li Ruobing.
Li Ruobing never intended to make things difficult for Mu Qianqian, so she naturally wouldn't consider a little girl a threat.
He bullies you, there's nothing I can do, I can't control him.
Li Ruobin turned his head and smiled, his words clearly carrying a hidden meaning; he was just giving a perfunctory response.
Li Ruobing had no interest in joking around with her mother. Seeing that Li Ruobing wasn't helping her, her mother bypassed Li Ruobing and went to Zhuang Xiaodie's side.
He casually grabbed Zhuang Xiaodie's arm and pouted, saying, "Sister, I can't help you."
Zhuang Xiaodie spoke directly, her expression of helplessness mixed with a smile, "Why don't you try begging her to forgive you, little sister?"
Mu Qianqian pouted, turned around and glanced around, then muttered to herself angrily, "None of you are helping me, I can only rely on myself."
As he spoke, he walked towards Wu Chen.
Meanwhile, Wu Yurong arrived at First Floor lobby on the Ninth Floor and met her daughter Song Xuan, and Song Xuan's friends.
A large group, more than a dozen people, were Song Xuan's friends who played music together. They were about the same age as Song Xuan, and there were both men and women.
Hello, Auntie!
When Song Xuan's friends saw Wu Yurong, they all greeted him with extremely politeness, almost bowing to Wu Yurong.
As Song Xuan's friends, they had naturally heard that Wu Yurong was He Xueren. Song Xue was from a super family, with three generations of heiresses worth billions. They had inquired about his family's situation and heard various rumors and messages, so they knew what kind of presence Wu Yurong had in the East Sea.
Wow, so many people! Did you Private Dining Room?
Wu Yurong asked with a gentle smile.
I didn't book in advance, and when I asked just now, they said there were no Private Dining Room available.
Song Xuan looked at his mother, his voice so sweet that even if we ate in the hall, it would still be just as beautiful.
Private Dining Room?
Wu Yurong muttered to himself that he knew these top-tier restaurants usually reserved several Private Dining Room to deal with special circumstances.
I went to talk to them about health care; Song Xuan should also be there.
Wu Yurong has always kept a low profile, could imagine that it was precisely because her daughter had always been low-key and never used her status as an excuse that she had been neglected.
In fact, if these things happened to Wu Yurong herself might not have felt that it was neglect; it depended on the situation. But when it happened to her daughter, she, as a mother, felt that it was neglecting her daughter, and she had an unconscious desire to love her daughter.
No need, it's too much trouble.
Song Xuan replied...
What's the trouble? You bunch of young people are making such a racket while eating in the lobby. Aren't you afraid of disturbing other guests?
Wu Yurong then said, still in a gentle and sweet voice, laughing as if she were joking, that she was just looking for an excuse to get her daughter and her friends to dine in Private Dining Room.
Wu Yurong wanted her daughter and the others to go to the Private Dining Room for another reason: if Wu Yurong and Wu Chen finished eating first and went downstairs together, their daughter Song Xuan wouldn't see them.
Wait for me a moment, I'll go talk to them.
Wu Yurong spoke to Song Xuan's friends again, and then went towards the counter without letting Song Xuan follow her.
Auntie, you're so pretty! You look just like Xuanxuan. You look so young, like sisters with Xuanxuan. Is this the first time you've met?
After Wu Yurong left, Song Xuan's group of friends started whispering among themselves. Regardless of gender, they were all talking in English, and they weren't saying anything unpleasant; on the contrary, they were praising each other. So there was no need to force Song Xuan.
Song Xuan turned around and looked at them, his face full of helplessness.
And so it always happens; every time one of my different friends meets my mother in person for the first time, they always say something similar.
Song Xuan looked at his group of friends, about to speak and tell them to calm down, but he paused as if he had seen something and tilted his head.
He looked out the window and saw a very familiar car parked on the side of the road—a New Lamborghini Model.
My senior went back to the East Sea and is eating here too.
Song Xuan observed for a moment, then his face lit up with excitement. He muttered that he recognized it; it was Wu Chen's car.
Song Xuan was confident that he hadn't mistaken the car. In a big city like East Sea, Lamborghini weren't exactly rare, but they were certainly not uncommon either.
When Song Xuan met Wu Chen for the second time, he saw a brand new Lamborghini Aventador Lamborghini, also known as the "Big Bull," and it was blue.
Blue is not common in any Lamborghini model; the more common colors are yellow, white, and gray.
Judging from the three criteria alone—blue color, car model, and brand new—there's unlikely to be another car like it in the East Sea.
Song Xuan hadn't specifically memorized Wu Chen's Lamborghini's license plate number, so he only judged whether it was Wu Chen's car based on its appearance, and felt that it probably was.
Why didn't my senior call when he got back? Did he only get back today?
Song Xuan looked out the window, muttering to himself, his expression showing a hint of excitement and joy.
Three days ago at noon, Song Xuan had made all the preparations. Before sending out the lessons, he called Wu Chen to sign a revenue-sharing contract. This was as previously agreed, with Wu Chen taking 50% of the Song Royalties. A contract was definitely required. However, Wu Chen told him to send the lessons directly and told Song Xuan that he was out of town and that the contract could be signed when he returned, which was fine.
After that, Song Xuan A Song for Me on all the major music platforms across the internet.
A day later, at noon the day before yesterday, the A Song for Me broke into the new song charts, music charts, and popularity charts on various platforms. The number of comments on Penguin Music exceeded 5,000 in just one day, and it is still growing, showing a trend of becoming a hit. Song Xuan was really excited.
In fact, Song Xuan was already a little confused. How could Senior Wu Chen write so many popular books at once?
His sudden rise to fame was still unbelievable; he wasn't a music major, but an engineering student who graduated with Computer Science degree. Perhaps this is what they call a genius.
Song Xuan's musical journey has been incredibly difficult. Because he has experienced it firsthand, the sudden popularity of the A Song for Me had an even greater impact on him.
Yesterday at noon, the A Song for Me immediately entered the top ten of the Penguin Music Quarterly Hot Songs Chart. There were only two songs released by amateurs in this top ten list, and all the other songs were by popular stars.
This afternoon, the A Song for Me broke into the top three of the Penguin Music Quarterly Chart Quarterly Chart and eventually settled in second place.
Meanwhile, the song also made it to number 96 on Penguin Music's Annual Hot Songs Chart, making it onto the yearly chart.
Although there are a total of 100 spots, and 96th is the last one in the rankings, it was only posted three days ago and more than half of the year has already passed.
Compared to someone else's nearly 200 days of popularity, three days is just the beginning.
The news of Song Xuan's new brother's rise to fame has already spread among his circle of friends. According to some professional predictions among his friends, Song Xuan has a very good chance of making it into the top ten of the annual charts, and may even be able to compete for the number one spot.
To compete for first place, it's not just about the quality of the song; you also need to consider subsequent operations, marketing, and promotion.
These past few days, Song Xuan has been so excited that he can't sleep at night, and he spends a lot of time every day replying to fans' comments on various platforms, interacting with them very frequently.
In the past few days, besides replying to fans' messages, Song Xuan also had two parties with friends to celebrate, and dealt with hundreds of phone calls from entertainment companies, brokerage firms, and headhunting companies of all sizes, all wanting to sign him.
The viral sensation of "Sending this to my brother" is nothing short of phenomenal, and given its current trajectory, it's highly likely to spark widespread online discussion and generate countless memes.
This trend is already emerging; on some short video platforms, using the chorus of the A Song for Me as background music for videos is gradually becoming a trend.
Another point worth mentioning is that Wu Chen is even more popular than Song Xuan.
Today, Song Xuan and his friends came together for dinner to celebrate the A Song for Me reaching number two on the Quarterly Chart of Penguin Music, the largest music platform. The number one song on that chart is "Heart's Remedy".
Even if my brother becomes incredibly popular, his data index can't catch up with "Heart's Remedy" because it was released three days earlier, allowing for a longer period of Heart's Remedy, resulting in its data far surpassing the latter.
The Heart's Remedy, which has been released for six days, is currently ranked number one on the Monthly Chart, Quarterly Chart, New Releases Chart, and Original Songs Chart, and has also reached number 37 on Penguin Music's Annual Hot Songs Chart.
It's almost like a joke that "Heart's Remedy" became a phenomenon even faster than "The A Song for Me," breaking various records in the history of Penguin Music, such as the fastest song to reach 100,000 comments and the fastest new song by an amateur to reach 10 million plays.
The sudden popularity of "Heart's Remedy" is unusual; it's become too popular, and it was indeed influenced by the A Song for Me.
Because both songs were written and composed by Wu Chen, Song Xun used the stage name Song Xun when releasing the song, while the lyrics and music were both attributed to Chen Wu. Since Wu Chen's first song, "Heart's Remedy," used this name, and Chen Wu was responsible for the lyrics, music, and vocals, Song Xue naturally followed suit.
After the A Song for Me was released, listeners immediately noticed two other songs that went viral in quick succession. Both songs were written and composed by Chen Wu, and their popularity created a mutually amplifying effect.
In the past few days, Song Xuan has received hundreds of calls from entertainment companies wanting to sign him. They not only want to sign him, but also ask him who Chen Wu is, ask for Chen Wu's contact information, and say that they can sign him together, etc. They even ask which city he is in, so that he can fly over to meet in person.
Because Wu Chen didn't fill in his real information when registering before releasing the song, he could foresee the consequences. He didn't want to debut and naturally didn't want to be bothered by various entertainment agencies. Therefore, no one could find the wildly popular Chen Wu, so they could only ask Song Xuan for a contract. Song Xuan also wanted to sign Wu Chen, but Song Xuan naturally refused. He didn't want to sign with any company, nor did he disclose Wu Chen's information without permission. He naturally had to discuss this matter with Wu Chen.
The reason he hadn't bothered Wu Chen or shared the good news with Wu Chen these past few days was partly because he was too busy, and partly because he felt that Wu Chen must know he was famous. Since he hadn't contacted him, he figured Wu Chen must be busy with something, and he would definitely call him after Wu Chen returned to the East Sea.
After all, the senior was so poor, yet he was kept by a rich woman. He's so talented, he must want to make money, escape the clutches of the rich woman, and make something of himself.
The 50% revenue-sharing agreement hasn't even been signed yet.
In the lobby, Song Xuan's friends were still buzzing about Wu Yurong when Song Xun suddenly turned around and looked around the lobby, searching for Wu Chen to see if Wu Chen was eating somewhere in the lobby.
You haven't found Xuanxuan, of course. What are you looking for?
Wang Xiaomei, Song Xuan's good friend who was standing nearby, noticed this and asked a question.
Find a senior student.
Song Xuan replied, then took out his phone, quickly scrolled through his contacts, found Wu Chen's number, and dialed it.
He held the phone to his ear, and a few seconds later, the street opposite him appeared.
Hey, Classmate Song!
Wu Chen's cheerful voice came through the phone.
Senior, do you eat at the Civil Affairs Building?
I see your car!
Song Xun said directly, his voice incredibly sweet.
Yes, I'm here.
Wu Chen replied.
Xie Zhang, where are you?
Call the police! I'm coming to find you, is that convenient?
Song Xun then said that he was eager to see Wu Chen immediately.
