The longed-for village system

Chapter 169 Sorrow Relief Released
Chen Qing humbly accepted the praise from the two teachers, saying that he was just that smart, there was nothing he could do about it.

"You arrogant host, have some shame! Just a friendly reminder that your popularity is about to surpass 2000 million."

"Damn system." Chen Qing was already used to the system popping up unexpectedly from time to time, and subconsciously replied, then paused for a moment, "What did you say? My popularity is about to reach 2000 million? How did it happen so fast?"

This popularity is growing way too fast! It's only been a few days since the last interview! Less than a month!
"You're such a useless host! With such little ambition, you're the most pathetic host I've ever met."

"Shut up, you dog system! If you're so capable, try removing my restrictions!" Chen Qing continued to retaliate, before asking, "How many followers do I have now? How much more do I need to reach 2000 million?"

"Less than 300,000, trash host, keep it up!"

"Shut up, you damn system!"

While Chen Qing was having a 'friendly' exchange with the system, Liu Xijun and Chen Linong were showing Peng Peng the whole song. As professional singers, they knew the significance of the song.

This song isn't difficult; an amateur level is enough to sing it. The true meaning or value of this song lies in its cultural aspects, as it contains many obscure characters, as evidenced by the praise and commendation from the national cultural media yesterday.

Therefore, they could foresee that once the song was released, it would definitely receive praise from the Ministry of Culture again, and Peng Peng would naturally gain another title as a 'singer'.

Sure enough, as long as you connect with someone powerful enough, even a weakling can get ahead. Of course, at this moment, they were also filled with envy and jealousy towards Peng Peng.

As soon as someone asks for a song, a high-quality song immediately comes out. Zhang Zifeng doesn't even have to open her mouth to get one, while they still have to rely on Teacher He's connections to have a chance to invite a song. The problem is that those who asked first haven't even received a song yet.

Peng Peng isn't worried about the two of them seeing his new song. Not to mention that everyone knows this song was written for him by Xiao Chen, even if they didn't know, the two of them wouldn't dare to claim the song as their own.

Unless the two of them want to be blacklisted by Brother Chen and never work together again, they will also be blacklisted by Teacher He and Teacher Huang in the variety show and film and television industries.

Seeing the envious and jealous expressions on Liu Xijun and Chen Linong's faces, Peng Peng felt incredibly comfortable. Having a good older brother to help him was really great; his life was practically on a winning streak!
With Teacher He helping her on variety shows, and Teacher Huang and Teacher Huang Bo paving the way in the film and television industry, she's now venturing into the music industry. Is she going to become a star in film, television and music?

Meanwhile, a certain entertainment company in Shanghai, China, along with Mao Mao Studio and her personal official Weibo account, released a new message: the new song "Sorrow" has been officially released, and they thanked teacher Chen Qing for his creation.

According to the agreement among the three, his song "Xiao Chou" was supposed to be released on August 1st. Then, Xiao Ju's "Hong Zhao Yuan" was released half a month later, followed by Zhou Shen's "Da Yu" in early September. However, Chen Qingxin's new song has been trending again these past two days, so just in case, Mao Mao decided to release it a little earlier.

Everyone was very much looking forward to this song, so as soon as it was released, the number of plays, reposts and downloads began to rise rapidly, and countless people on their way to work started listening to "Xiao Chou" on repeat.

Shanghai Radio: Someone recommends a song, a new song called "Sorrow" with lyrics by Mao Mao and music by Chen Qing, sung by Mao Mao.

Most of the lyrics for this song were written by Mao Mao, but Chen Qing made slight modifications and additions, so Chen Qing's name was also added to the lyrics by Mao Mao later.

The moment everyone heard the song's lyrics, they were instantly captivated and resonated with it, especially the eight cups of wine, each one deeply moving them.

"Holy crap! These lyrics are absolutely brilliant! Mao Mao is amazing, this is a powerful collaboration between her and the landlord!"

"One cup to the rising sun, one cup to the moonlight. One cup to my hometown, one cup to the distant land. One cup to tomorrow, one cup to the past. One cup to freedom, one cup to death. These eight cups of wine encapsulate a person's life; it's truly amazing." "A song is a person's life; this song tells the whole story of a lifetime. I can only say I admire it."

"When I listen to this song, it's like seeing my own situation. I left my hometown to make a living in a big city. This song is so vivid."

As the number of listeners increased, so did the number of comments on the song. Shanghai TV even played it twice more due to listener requests, which shows just how popular the song is.

After the new song was released, Mao Mao's manager kept a close eye on the online comments. When he saw the overwhelmingly positive reviews, he was so excited that he ran to Mao Mao's room to tell her the good news.

"Mao Mao, do you know what's going on with our new song? It's out! We've released it! It's getting rave reviews, not a single bad one! Shanghai radio even played our new song three times for the first time ever."

Mao Mao couldn't hide her joy at the result, but she managed to control herself and nodded to her agent to indicate that she was aware of it.

"???"

Seeing Mao Mao's calm demeanor, her manager looked on in astonishment. "What's going on? Mao Mao, aren't you surprised? You're about to become famous!"

"Of course I was pleasantly surprised! But I was already mentally prepared. You know, this song was written by Teacher Chen, and he also revised part of the lyrics. Have you ever seen a song of his that wasn't popular?"

After being asked that question by Mao Mao, he thought about it and realized that it made sense! Every song that Teacher Chen wrote from the moment he first came into the public eye became a hit.

Songs like "An Ordinary Day", "The Wind Blows Through the Wheat Fields", and "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" are all great. The most amazing one, "The Young China Speaks", even received a video praise from a big name. Only one person in the music industry has achieved this level of recognition!

For him, it's only natural for his songs to be popular! It would be strange if they weren't popular! Thinking about it this way, I was really making a big fuss over nothing. His Mao Mao is much more composed.

"That's true! There's no reason why Teacher Chen's songs wouldn't be popular. There might be an interview and sales meeting next noon, so remember to be prepared."

Meanwhile, everyone at the Mushroom House was still enjoying a delicious breakfast, completely unaware of the situation online. Chen Linong and Liu Xijun kept glancing at Chen Qing as they ate, their unspoken meaning clear.

When will we get a song? We're leaving this afternoon!

Those who were recording the show were unaware, but Lao Wang and the others naturally noticed the changes online. Seeing that Mao Mao's new song had suddenly risen to prominence and quickly occupied the top ten positions on the new song chart, he also prepared to tell Chen Qing.

"Everyone, I'd like to say congratulations to our teacher Xiao Chen for his new song entering the top ten of the trending search list."

"what?"

Everyone looked at Lao Wang with question marks on their faces. What new song? When did Xiao Chen release a new song? Did netizens find out about the song "Rare Characters"? Even Chen Qing looked at Lao Wang with a question mark on his face.
