<h4>Chapter 122: Your Album Was Very Well-Received</h4>


    Chu Ling’s fans were beside themselves with joy. Chu Ling had not only affirmed his status in the industry with this album, he had also risen a level or two.


    This meant Chu Ling would no longer be just a pretty face! From now on, Chu Ling would be a step closer to Xia Peifeng’s heights with such iconic work under his belt.


    His fans were naturally happy for him!


    Yao Jiahong quietly listened to Chu Ling’s new album and was very impressed by Deng Yufei’s talent yet again.


    He quietly typed on theputer as he made ns for Shi Jin’s career: [Shi Jin has to study hard after thepetition. I hope to help Shi Jin reach Deng Yufei’s level of aplishment in five years.]


    Although five years was a long time, it was hardly enough time for an untalented songwriter to reach Deng Yufei’s level.


    Xia Peifeng sat dumbfounded in front of hisputer as everyone kept talking about Chu Ling’stest album, “Sing”.


    Momentster, he turned his head murderously. He looked at his talent agent questioningly in fury.


    He squeezed the empty can of Sprite in his hand with a snap and ttened it.


    His talent agent panicked and had already stood up to say, “What happened? Why do the new songs in Chu Ling’s albums sound just like yours? I will investigate it immediately! I will find out right away!”


    Chu Ling’stest songs, “Love”, “Lingering Affection”, “Clear Skies” and “Warm Sun in Winter” were all written by Xia Peifeng.


    Even the titles were more or less identical.


    Xia Peifeng had nned on using these songs in his next album.


    Xia Peifeng had barely anypetition at his level. No matter what songs he released, they were well received.


    Xia Peifeng did not need to worry about market share or creating hype. He was able to work at his pace and released albums at his liberty. This time, he nned on doing the same thing.


    After watching Deng Yufei’s performance on “Ultimate Singer-Songwriter”, he was very inspired, so he wrote five songs altogether.


    He nned on cleaning them up before releasing them in a new album, but all his songs were now appearing in Chu Ling’stest album.


    Chu Ling’s fans were blown away by his work.


    Chu Ling and Deng Yufei’s songs were a major hit, but Xia Peifeng felt as though someone had ripped his heart to shreds.


    ***


    “Your album was very well-received!” Hu Lai picked up a ss of red wine and held it towards Chu Ling and Deng Yufei. “We have received over 500 000 copies in preorder for the album in just a single night!”


    Deng Yufei felt proud of this achievement as well. “Uh huh. Other than your fans, a lot of music critics and non-fans have spoken highly of your album.”


    Everyone forgot about Deng Yufei’s Allure advertisement tonight. Instead, people kept talking about her talent and had forgotten about the allergic reaction Allure’s products had caused.


    Hu Lai smiled and said, “Yufei, here is a toast to you.”


    Chu Ling raised his wine ss and looked at Deng Yufei as well.


    After Deng Yufei finished a ss of wine, she saw her phone light up with Shi Jin’s name shing on the screen.


    She quickly answered the phone and went over to a quiet corner to talk. “Hi, Shi Jin.”


    “Did you help Chu Ling with the new album?” asked Shi Jin calmly.


    “Shi Jin, let me exin,” said Deng Yufei hurriedly. “Have you heard Chu Ling’s new album already? I can exin everything.”


    Shi Jin sat down on the couch calmly with her phone in hand. “Let’s see what you have to say about this.”


    “I know they were your songs, but it’s not like I gave it to some random guy. I only gave them to Chu Ling.”
