Chapter 539: Chapter 537: 537: The New Song Took First Place on the Chart

She had just turned on her phone when a call from Estelle came in.

Rong Yan answered the call, switched on the speaker, and set it aside on the sofa while focusing her attention on the computer. “Hello, Estelle, what’s up?”

“Nothing much, I just wanted to tell you that your new song has reached number one on the charts.” There was a rare hint of laughter in the voice on the other end of the line, clearly very satisfied with the result.

Rong Yan had taken out her laptop to check the performance of her new song, and without even having to open the music platform, she had received good news. “Really?”

Estelle said with a bit of amusement, “Of course it’s true, why would I lie to you? I was never worried about the performance of your new song. It’s just that I didn’t expect it to do even better than I had imagined, which is an unexpected gain after the stage accident.”

The recent stage accident had caused Rong Yan’s popularity to soar. Even though Mr. Li had withdrawn all related searches, the heroic rescue footage had made her popularity skyrocket.

The only problem was that now netizens, through circulated videos, had dug up that Mr. Li’s silhouette was the same as the ‘mysterious man in camouflage’ from Rong Yan’s music video.

But no big deal!

The TV networks absolutely wouldn’t dare to release any frontal footage of Mr. Li, and a specialized team from Li Group was cleaning up the online buzz. Every microblog post that revealed Mr. Li’s identity got deleted, leaving nothing but some trivial gossip and speculation.

“Your new song was personally crafted for you by Zhong Yuye, and you too studied tirelessly, trying out and recording many versions. Additionally, the acoustic version you posted from your study garnered a favorable response. Once the song was officially released, it garnered a lot of attention. The good chart position is linked to your own talent. The song caught people’s attention initially due to your recent popularity, but its continued success on the charts proves that it’s also a good song in itself.”

While Estelle was talking, Rong Yan had already found the charts and, sure enough, saw her own name and “When the Forest is Deep, I See Deer” topping the list.

Beneath it was a new song from a rising idol group, followed by Yan Hong’s new album and a song from a popular young hunk.

Looking over the entire chart, there were many popular and talented individuals, so her shooting to number one definitely made her a dark horse!

Rong Yan clicked on the comment section inside the chart, and aside from a few Rong Weiwei fans who were still fixated on her character, dredging up the past to stir up controversy, most of the comments about the song itself were positive.

Seeing the overwhelmingly positive response, Rong Yan felt an inexplicable sense of achievement.

After Estelle briefly discussed the new song’s situation, she added, “Oh, and there’s something else I should tell you.”

“Hmm? What is it?” Rong Yan was scrolling through the comments while responding.

“Your popularity is gradually rising, and normally at this stage, you’d find a suitable person to pair up with for a public romance to stir up buzz and boost your popularity further.”

A public romance stunt?

Rong Yan rejected the idea without a second thought. “Estelle, no need, I’ve never thought about doing a romance stunt.”

In the entertainment industry, she couldn’t avoid all forms of promotion, but she had no intention of leveraging her private life for publicity.

For her, work was work, and she was willing to work hard for it. But to use her private life for gaining an edge in her career? That was out of the question.
