Miss Xu: The new song “A Night of Blossoms and Full Moon” is now available. Come listen, everyone!
Prompted by Yuan Yuan, Xu Zhiyuan registered a Weibo account. Guang Sheng Entertainment immediately helped verify it, then reposted using their official account. Wang Hao, Ren Qingfeng, and Sun Yi also quickly shared it.
【Teacher Xu has written another song—must support!】
【Haha, Teacher Xu isn’t fast enough; I’ve already listened to the new song several times.】
【The new song is really good.】
【Feels like this song fits the Mid-Autumn Festival vibe too.】
【Teacher Xu, post a photo!】
【My desire to see Teacher Xu has peaked.】
【……】
Within just a few minutes, the number of followers reached over two hundred thousand and was still climbing steadily.
With the quality of “Love Song for Singles” established, and the new song “A Night of Blossoms and Full Moon” also being of high quality, these two songs alone were enough to showcase Miss Xu’s talent to netizens.
Unlike the first song, “A Night of Blossoms and Full Moon” was a sweet male-female duet love song, overflowing with romantic vibes and deeply loved by fans.
Xu Zhiyuan kept refreshing the page, watching the follower count change constantly, a smile never leaving her lips.
Was this what it felt like to have hundreds of thousands of fans? It was simply exhilarating.
Feeling excited and wanting to do something, Xu Zhiyuan took a screenshot of her follower count and sent it to He Jiayu.
Xu Zhiyuan: I’m someone with hundreds of thousands of followers now.
Xu Zhiyuan: [Grinning GIF]
He Jiayu had followed Xu Zhiyuan the moment she joined Weibo, so of course he knew about her account’s progress. Still, that didn’t stop him from providing emotional support to his wife.
He: As expected of my wife.
He: [Thumbs up]
When Xu Zhiyuan’s eyes landed on the word “wife,” she felt as if her vision had been scorched. She quickly looked away, but her cheeks were already flushed.
He: I followed you too. Follow me back.
He: [Screenshot]
Xu Zhiyuan opened the screenshot, replied with “Okay,” then went back to Weibo to search.
He Jiayu had followed her using his personal account. Just like on WeChat, his Weibo username was simple: “He JY.” His profile picture was a plain black image, and he didn’t have many posts. His last post was a repost of CCTV’s tribute to Army Day.
After following him back, Xu Zhiyuan also sent a screenshot to He Jiayu.
Xu Zhiyuan: Your Weibo has nothing on it.
It was similar to his WeChat Moments—He Jiayu’s Moments were also sparse. His last post was from a year ago, promoting a friend’s new store.
He: There will be from now on.
Xu Zhiyuan blinked a few times before understanding what he meant, and she couldn’t help but smile secretly.
Xu Zhiyuan: Have you listened to my new song? Help me promote it.
He: I have. I’ll post about it on Weibo in a bit.
Not only did He Jiayu post about it using his personal account, but he also instructed Yuan Yuan to have the group’s official account follow Xu Zhiyuan and use it to boost her popularity.
This completely ignited the trending topics.
Xinda Group was, after all, a major corporation—one of the top hundred enterprises in the country and well-known internationally. Its official account typically posted about the group’s developments and promotional content, following only domestic enterprises and government departments. Suddenly following the account of an entertainment industry songwriter was like a bride getting on a sedan chair for the first time—utterly unprecedented.
【Just goes to show you shouldn’t let Gen Z manage the account.】
【Are you sure the account wasn’t hacked?】
【Miss Xu’s song is indeed very well written. There’s nothing wrong with following her.】
【Haven’t you noticed? Guang Sheng Entertainment is under the Xinda Group.】
【Did the group’s CEO recognize Miss Xu’s talent?】
【But that doesn’t make sense either. Miss Xu’s profile doesn’t list any company affiliation, meaning she isn’t signed to any agency.】
【Maybe the Xinda Group wants to sign Miss Xu.】
【…】
Netizens, intrigued by the buzz, flocked to Miss Xu’s Weibo page and followed the links to listen to her song.
Some liked it, while others didn’t, but there was no denying that the song was genuinely good—far better than the shallow, trendy tunes flooding the market. Even those looking to nitpick couldn’t find much to criticize.
Ren Qingfeng and Sun Yi quietly monitored the song’s performance data. Seeing its steady climb, they knew they had a hit on their hands.
They were grateful to Teacher Xu for noticing them and giving them this opportunity.
Their managers were overjoyed, their phones ringing off the hook—a stark contrast to the quiet days before.
Xinda Group.
He Jiayu was busy with work when a call came in from Grandfather He.
Seeing it was his grandfather, He Jiayu knew immediately it was about the Weibo situation.
Grandfather He didn’t start with accusations. Instead, he simply asked what He Jiayu had in mind.
“You’ve already looked into it, haven’t you? My focus for the second half of the year is on the entertainment industry,” He Jiayu replied.
“Is it because of this Miss Xu?”
“Yes and no. If you have time, Grandpa, you could ask someone for the script to take a look.”
“As long as you know what you’re doing.”
The conversation between grandfather and grandson was calm and businesslike, devoid of any personal warmth.
After that, Grandfather He said nothing more and hung up. He Jiayu was used to it. He set his phone aside and returned to his work.
He knew his grandfather would ask someone for the script.
Sure enough, not long after, Yuan Yuan came in to report that Grandfather He had asked the butler to request the script from Qiao Lejie at Guang Sheng.
“Don’t worry about it,” He Jiayu said.
Xu Zhiyuan’s script had even won over professors from Capital University. As long as his grandfather hadn’t lost his senses, he would recognize the script’s quality and the potential benefits it could bring.
But what He Jiayu didn’t know was that after reading the script, Grandfather He consulted professional directors. Soon after, several well-known directors in the industry went straight to Guang Sheng Entertainment.
What were they after?
Naturally, they wanted to secure the rights to direct the script.
You say you have your own team and director?
Well, come on then—who’s the director? How many hits have they had? Have they won any awards? Can they match our skills?
No? Then why hand the script over to them? Are you trying to ruin a good story?
While they were fighting over the directorial rights, He Jiayu was on his way to the old mansion with Xu Zhiyuan.
It was Mid-Autumn Festival.
Coincidentally, “A Night of Flowers and Full Moon” was quite fitting for the occasion. Downloads surged again that day, and Ren Qingfeng and Sun Yi had been invited to perform the song at Fruit TV’s Mid-Autumn Festival gala.
For now, none of this concerned Xu Zhiyuan.
Going to the Xu family made her anxious, and heading to the He family’s old mansion didn’t bring her peace either. Even with He Jiayu holding her hand to comfort her, she was still nervous.
The novel had described the He family’s background.
The He family is an old-established lineage in City A. Having developed to this day, it boasts a large population and numerous talents, each shining in their respective fields.
The He family’s ancestral residence is even more remarkable. On the map of City A, there is a He Family Village, and within that village stands a grand estate—that is the He family’s ancestral home.
