Ye Chen returns home late to a grumpy Su Wanyi, but reassures her that he will spend more time with her grandfather. Meanwhile, a song Ye Chen uploaded, "Simple Love," unexpectedly goes viral, climbing music charts at an astonishing rate and baffling music executives.

At this moment, the music industry was in an uproar, while Ye Chen was snuggling with Su Wanyi, sound asleep.

The next morning, Ye Chen and Su Wanyi got up from bed and, after having breakfast, stepped out of the house.

Ye Chen thought that even though he had Allen’s copyright, even having Wang Hao sing Allen’s songs couldn’t possibly make it an overnight hit.

Even Allen at the time took some time to gain fame, let alone Wang Hao, who had no reputation at all.

However, he suddenly noticed something was off. The radio was actually playing this song, and many music stores were also playing "Simple Love."

Listening to the familiar melody, Ye Chen was completely stunned.

"What on earth is going on?"

"Honey, isn’t this the song you let me listen to?" Su Wanyi asked with wide eyes.

Even Ye Chen hadn’t expected Allen’s song to be just as popular in this world. It had only been online for a day and was already this viral.

Originally, Su Wanyi wanted Ye Chen to take her to Yashi Company, but with this turn of events, she decided to return with Ye Chen to Star Media Company to discuss what to do next.

The two of them, with surprised expressions, arrived at the entrance of the company. After parking the car, Ye Chen and Su Wanyi got out.

Looking at the watch, it wasn’t even official working hours yet, but many employees were already entering the building.

In the elevator area, several employees were listening to music with headphones, and they were even humming along.

Ye Chen and Su Wanyi noticed that they were humming "Simple Love."

Behind them, a few people were whispering.

"Have you heard that song?"

"Are you talking about ’Simple Love’? It’s just too good, I’ve been listening to it on loop, can’t get enough of it."

"The creator is just amazing, it feels like not many people could create such a song, not even professionals."

Listening to everyone’s discussions, Ye Chen and Su Wanyi were even more surprised. It seemed this song really had become a hit.

The two got off the elevator, trying to contain their excitement, and ran to the office.

After turning on the computer, they took a look and Ye Chen and Su Wanyi’s eyes were filled with shock.

On the entire music platform, the song "Simple Love" was dominating the charts.

Whether it was the new song chart, request chart, or trending chart, it was all number one.

Su Wanyi clicked on the song and looked at the names of the lyricist and composer, all were Ye Chen.

"Honey, did you really create this song?" Su Wanyi asked in surprise.

"Yes, absolutely authentic," Ye Chen replied coolly, taking a sip of water.

At first, Ye Chen was a bit surprised by the overnight success of the song, but now he was calm.

Ye Chen felt the system was really powerful. It seemed like owning Allen’s copyrights meant that a song that was popular in that world could have the same effect in this one.

"Honey, you’re such a talent, I don’t even know what to say about you." Su Wanyi hugged Ye Chen.

This man always surprised her, and this time was no different. Initially, Su Wanyi was worried about how to manage and operate this entertainment company, but now she’s not worried at all.

Because Ye Chen could help her solve everything.

Meanwhile, after Wang Hao finished recording, he went back to the hospital to take care of Zhang Ying.

The two of them behaved as usual, nothing seemed different.

Just when Wang Hao was about to sleep, the phone rang.

Wang Hao frowned, seeing it was a call from a college classmate, he quietly left the ward to avoid waking Zhang Ying up.

He walked to the stairwell, answered the call, and before he could speak, the other side said with a laugh, "Haozi, you’re set now, you’re going to be a big star, we can all ride your coattails later."

"Taozi, don’t tease me, becoming a star is not that easy."

Wang Hao initially thought his friend was joking but didn’t expect the friend to ask, "Haozi, did you sing a song called ’Simple Love’?"

"Maybe," Wang Hao said uncertainly. He only heard Ye Chen mention it briefly and couldn’t recall clearly.

"No ’maybe’ about it, definitely. It’s all over the internet with you singing the song," the other person retorted.

"Really? I’ll check it out later," Wang Hao replied, half-believing.

"Alright, don’t forget me when you succeed," his friend said and then hung up.

After the call ended, Wang Hao turned on his phone, looked at the major music platforms, and true to the classmate’s words, the song he sang was firmly at number one.

This filled Wang Hao’s heart with excitement; he didn’t expect to become famous overnight with Ye Chen’s help.

Immediately, many people began calling him.

Among them were those looking to purchase the song’s rights, willing to let him name the price.

Many talent agencies also called him to discuss collaboration opportunities.

There were also those reaching out to dig information about the composer.

With calls coming one after another, Wang Hao didn’t dare return to the ward for fear of waking Zhang Ying, spending the whole night in the stairwell.

All night, Wang Hao answered so many calls his hand was sore, only daring to go back when his phone ran out of battery and turned off.

The whole night, he lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep for a long time.

Finally, when dawn arrived, Wang Hao decided to call Ye Chen to share the good news, but found Ye Chen’s phone was off.

"Ah-Hao, why do I feel something’s off with you today?" Zhang Ying asked.

"How could there be?" Wang Hao denied immediately.

Yesterday, Zhang Ying clearly saw Wang Hao go out to take a call and only return after a long time, she could feel Wang Hao’s happiness.

"Could it be, he’s seeing someone else and was calling his mistress outside," Zhang Ying speculated wildly.

It’s actually normal for Zhang Ying to think like this. When two people live a tough life, they can be very sweet, but suddenly getting rich could cause feelings to fade, sometimes even leading to affairs.

"Silly, I’m going out for a bit, breakfast is ready, make sure you eat," Wang Hao said with a smile, patting Zhang Ying’s head.

Watching Wang Hao’s back as he left, Zhang Ying felt more nervous, suspecting that Wang Hao was going to see another woman.

But in her current condition, it’s impossible to follow Wang Hao.

In fact, the reason Wang Hao went out was to find Ye Chen and share the good news with him.
