It was unexpected that this song, released only a few hours ago, had already climbed to fifth place on the sales charts!
It seemed that a divine song was indeed a divine song, and a queen was indeed a queen.
Wang Shu couldn't help but admire his choice back then; revenue sharing would have definitely earned him more.
He then called He Yue as well.
"Sister Yue, congratulations, your new song is a massive hit!"
Wang Shu said with a smile into the phone.
"Did you listen to it?"
He Yue retorted.
"Too expensive, can't afford it."
Wang Shu replied.
He Yue, lying in bed at that moment, rolled her eyes in exasperation.
She had initially thought Wang Shu was calling to praise her singing, but it turned out this kid wouldn't even spend five yuan. He was truly stingy to the core.
"But honestly, I still have to thank you. I never expected this song of yours to be so popular."
He Yue said earnestly.
"Sister Yue, that's true. A good horse needs a good saddle; without your singing, this song wouldn't have achieved such popularity!"
Wang Shu didn't hold back his praise either, showering her with compliments over the phone.
He praised He Yue so much that she became a little embarrassed and even hung up the phone.
After the call ended, Xu Yunshang also finished her call.
"Is there anything else?"
Sleepiness had already washed over Wang Shu entirely, but he still endured it to answer the phone and ask.
"I have an event at Xiangnan Television tomorrow. How about we have dinner together or something?"
Xu Yunshang said somewhat shyly over the phone.
"Actually, you don't need to find an excuse."
Wang Shu said directly. He found it unlikely that his arrival in Xiangnan would coincide with Xu Yunshang having an event at Xiangnan Television.
It must be that this little girl was deliberately finding an excuse to see him.
Being too handsome, it truly was a bother.
"What are you thinking? I'm the substitute singer for tomorrow."
Xu Yunshang stated directly over the phone.
"What? You're the substitute singer?"
Wang Shu was stunned again. Was the director deliberately stirring up trouble?
"Then let's have breakfast together tomorrow morning. It's not good to always have you treat me!"
Wang Shu said directly. After all, he could only afford breakfast at the moment.
...
The next morning, Wang Shu's door was knocked open by Xu Yunshang.
Seeing the beautiful girl outside his door, Wang Shu almost couldn't suppress his morning desires.
"Why are you here so early? It's so early in the morning, I can't even get a decent sleep."
Wang Shu complained, looking at Xu Yunshang.
"You said you'd treat me to breakfast, so I had to come early, didn't I? Hurry up and get ready to treat me!"
Seeing the still groggy Wang Shu, Xu Yunshang showed a triumphant smile on her pretty face.
Unable to resist Xu Yunshang's persistent requests, Wang Shu had no choice but to wash up and go with the little girl to a breakfast stall downstairs.
After that, he was also forced by Xu Yunshang to take a stroll in the nearby park.
"No way, why did the production team invite such a distinguished guest like you?"
Wang Shu said to Xu Yunshang, looking utterly dejected.
"I'm so excellent, is it strange for the production team to invite me?"
Xu Yunshang pouted and said to Wang Shu.
"Dr. Bai, we're here!"
Xu Yunshang suddenly called out to a tall woman not far away.
The woman quickly saw Xu Yunshang and Wang Shu and strode over.
"What does this mean?"
Wang Shu looked completely bewildered at the woman who had approached them and asked Xu Yunshang curiously.
"Dr. Bai is a doctoral expert in hematology from Harvard University. I brought you here to see Dr. Bai about your condition."
Xu Yunshang said directly. She had been worried about Wang Shu's illness for the past few days and had gone to great lengths to find Dr. Bai, an expert in hematology.
"Hello, my name is Bai Mushan!"
The doctor, Bai, extended her hand to Wang Shu and said.
"Wang Shu!"
Wang Shu reluctantly extended his hand and shook Bai Mushan's, introducing himself.
However, with his other hand, he gently pinched Xu Yunshang!
"Hey, why are you pinching me?"
Xu Yunshang, having been pinched by Wang Shu for no reason, looked at him innocently and asked.
"Did I waste my breath when I told you those things last time?"
Wang Shu said, looking at Xu Yunshang's puffed-up little face.
"But I still want the doctor to examine your condition to feel at ease."
Xu Yunshang looked at Wang Shu with a very serious expression.
"Then I'll forgive you this time."
Wang Shu understood that this girl was doing it for his own good and had gone to great lengths to trick him into meeting Dr. Bai.
Therefore, he couldn't bear to hurt Xu Yunshang's feelings, especially since she had stayed by his bedside day and night when he was hospitalized.
Afterward, Wang Shu had Dr. Bai perform a simple examination on him and had a tube of blood drawn, which she said she would take back for testing.
After the examination, the two returned to the hotel.
Xu Yunshang's room was directly opposite Wang Shu's, so after settling her belongings, she basically stayed in Wang Shu's room.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the new round of the show officially began recording.
As a substitute singer, Xu Yunshang quickly became acquainted with the other contestants.
Unlike Wang Shu, although Xu Yunshang did not have as much fame or influence in the industry, she was considered an artist with good singing skills and popularity.
Therefore, as soon as she entered the production team, she was pulled away by the other contestants to chat.
Wang Shu, on the other hand, sat with Brother Zhang Ji.
"How was the rehearsal yesterday?"
Wang Shu asked Zhang Ji, who looked exhausted.
"It's definitely fine. I feel full of energy right now."
Although Zhang Ji had dark circles under his eyes, he was full of vigor at the moment.
"What song are you planning to sing today?"
Zhang Ji asked Wang Shu with some curiosity.
"You'll find out later."
Wang Shu said mysteriously, then looked towards Xu Yunshang.
The next moment, as he looked at the people backstage, he suddenly realized someone was missing.
"Where did Han Lei go?"
Wang Shu asked Zhang Ji with some confusion.
"Brother Han seemed to have something to do today and left early this morning."
Zhang Ji replied after thinking for a moment.
Wang Shu nodded thoughtfully, as it was understandable for these artists to have busy schedules.
"What about Deng Xiaoqi? Why is he missing too?"
Wang Shu scanned the surroundings again and found that Deng Xiaoqi was also not backstage.
"Xiao Qi is the host for tonight's show and is preparing to go on stage to host!"
Zhang Ji explained again.
Afterward, as the opening music played, Deng Xiaoqi, dressed in grand attire, walked to the center of the stage.
He announced the beginning of the new episode, but Wang Shu could sense a hint of fatigue in Deng Xiaoqi's tone.
