Chinese song records.
Huang Dazhong held the car key in his hand and walked quickly into the company.
This was a time that belonged to the pre-work hours, but most of the company's employees had already arrived at the office, chatting and gossiping while pouring themselves cups of water. When Huang Dazhong walked into the office, he saw exactly this kind of scene where everyone was sitting or standing in a disorderly manner, laughing and chatting with each other about who-knew-what.
But then, I don't know who was the first to see Huang Zong coming, and immediately fell silent. Then, as if a plague was spreading, the entire Huage Music office area suddenly became completely quiet.
Then, one after another, people started standing up and nodding their heads saying: "Hello, President Huang."
Then, throughout the office area, voices calling out "Good morning, Director Huang" and "Hello, Director Huang" rang out one after another.
Huang Dazhong nodded expressionlessly at everyone and said, "Get busy!" Then everyone quickly fell silent again, each returning to their own seat, regardless of whether they had anything to do or not. At the very least, they would lower their heads, pick up a few documents, and pretend to be busy.
These days, Huang's mood has been very bad, which is a well-known fact in the company.
To be precise, last Monday and Tuesday were probably the best two days for Huang in a long time. As soon as the sales ranking of Dongguan Bookstore came out, wow, his company's "Wu Xing Wu Su" directly topped the list with weekly sales of nearly 30,000! And with this one move, it crushed the sales of He Runqing's new album by almost half, how could he not be thrilled? During those two days, no matter who he met, he had a smile on his face, and whoever greeted him would get a smiling nod in response.
However, after China Voice's Golden Chart was released on Wednesday, Huang's face quickly fell. His complexion changed, and his dignity suddenly increased, causing the atmosphere in the office to drop to freezing point instantly. Originally, during work hours, there would still be a few people who would occasionally tell jokes. But since that day, even the most mischievous person became extremely well-behaved and shrank into their seat.
Even so, last week, Huang Zong still managed to catch two people off guard and scolded them severely. The voice was loud enough to be heard from the general manager's office at the other end of the corridor all the way to this concentrated office area!
The whole song is sung with such vigor and intensity that it sends shivers down one's spine!
But today, Huang's mood seems to have improved slightly?
Some people saw Huang Dazhong, although his face was expressionless, but at least he didn't look angry. Even without malice, it's possible that the new little singer who recently became Huang Dazhong's fourth wife had been serving him well these past two days?
Anyway, at least he doesn't seem to be in the mood for lecturing today?
Just then, Huang Dazhong's secretary had just signed in at the door and was chatting with colleagues in the office area. After asking everyone if they were doing well, he followed behind Huang Dazhong towards the corridor.
Huang Dazhong walked forward in big strides, instructing him: "Later, when the rankings are released at Dongguan Bookstore, you immediately send them over to my office!"
The secretary hastened to nod and agree, and his originally nervous heart finally felt a little more at ease.
And on this side of the office area... As soon as the two walked into the corridor and walked a little further, they couldn't help but discuss in a low voice.
"Huang usually doesn't come until around 10 o'clock, does he? Why is he so early today?"
"It goes without saying, today is Monday, the ranking list of Dongguan Bookstore will be released soon, he came so early, must be waiting for the ranking list!"
"That's right, it must be! By the way, last week 'Let Me Fly' was selling so well, and Liao Liao's new album seems to be doing great too. But does Huang have to worry that much? He actually broke his usual pattern and came out so early?"
"Hum, you don't understand anything! The data for 'Let Me Fly' last week was great, but don't forget that it was completely suppressed by Liao Liao on the charts! If Huang Zong isn't worried, that's strange! Don't you remember Huang Zong's face on Wednesday last week? China Radio's Golden Chart is known as the barometer of music sales!"
…………
Huang Dazhong walked away with his secretary, apparently not hearing the discussion over here.
After sending Huang Dazhong into the office, his secretary poured him another cup of tea before leaving the room. Coincidentally, it wasn't long after nine o'clock that the fax machine on his desk rang.
The fax machine soon spat out two sheets of paper.
Wait until the first sheet of paper comes out. The secretary picked it up and took a look, no mistake, it was indeed the sales ranking list from Dongguan Bookstore.
When the two papers came out, he stood up and walked towards Huang Dazhong's office, subconsciously glancing at the ranking list. After all, as a member of the company and Huang Dazhong's secretary, he was also very concerned about the showdown between Wu Xingyu and Liao Liao last week.
But as soon as he took a glance at it, he was stunned and even his footsteps came to an abrupt halt.
Then he quickly looked down and when he saw the sales volume and ranking of Wu Su, his face suddenly froze for a moment before turning somewhat pale.
He cleared his throat with a subconscious cough and, after some hesitation, he lightly knocked on the door of the general manager's office.
"Come in!"
Inside was Huang Dazhong's voice, which seemed to be devoid of any emotion - but as his secretary who had served him for over three years, he knew that after seeing the latest rankings, President Huang's voice would likely be filled with emotion!
But no matter how scared I am, I have to muster up the courage to send it in!
He pushed open the door and said in a normal voice: "Director Huang, the sales ranking list of Dongguan Bookstore has arrived!"
"Oh?" Huang Dazhong's spirit suddenly shook as he heard the words, and he stood up from his seat in an instant, stretching out his hand excitedly, "Bring it here!"
His secretary walked over in a few big strides, handed over the two pages of paper, and then hastily stepped aside, lowering his head, slouching his shoulders, and looking down.
Huang Dazhong took over the fax, and at first glance, his reaction was almost identical to that of his secretary, also a sudden stunned expression. Then, he too made a downward searching motion in no time.
Then, with a swish, his face immediately turned pale!
Suddenly. The secretary standing next to the office desk heard that Huang's breathing seemed to be stuck for a moment, and then quickly took a deep breath! Immediately he knew, it was going to go bad!
As expected, "slap"! Huang Dazhong fiercely slapped those two pieces of paper onto the table!
It seems like this can kill this data!

Sony Records
Around the same time, Sony Music's music director Xie Mingyuan also received this issue of Dongguan Bookstore's sales rankings.
Just looking at the ranking on this sales chart, he was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help revealing a wry smile.
He didn't even notice his secretary was still there, he waved the sales ranking list in his hand and shook his head, sighing: "I thought you were just being arrogant, but I didn't expect... You actually managed to do it yourself! It seems that what our old man said is right after all - don't think you're so smart and try to manipulate everyone!"
He paused, looked up at the secretary in front of the office desk who was holding his breath and trying to remain silent, saw his bewildered expression, and couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly, saying: "I originally thought that with the momentum of the Five Elements, I could at least suppress you for one or two weeks! But, haha... it turns out that heroes emerge in their youth after all! Haha, I admit defeat, indeed I underestimated you!"

Chang Sheng Records
It was not yet twenty minutes to nine in the morning, and many staff members were still sluggish. They had not fully shaken off the laziness of the weekend, and were sipping coffee while slowly browsing through documents. But at this moment, a loud burst of laughter suddenly came from the general manager's office, startling everyone into a daze. Someone even spat out their coffee in surprise.
Then everyone suddenly lifted their heads and looked over there.
The loud laughter did not stop.
Everyone could tell that it was President Chen's voice.
This is simply nonsense, apart from Director Chen, who else dares to laugh like this during work hours?
For nearly ten seconds, the loud laughter finally stopped.
Some people couldn't help but start whispering, "What's going on with President Chen?"
No one could answer the question for a while. But soon, Chen's beautiful female secretary Xiao Wang walked out of his general manager's office, high heels clicking, and quickly swayed to this side of the office area, smiling and saying: "Our company's Liao Liao sister's new album 'Tao Sheng Yi Jiou' sold 28,559 copies in the first week at Dongguan Bookstore! First place!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then the whole office area seemed to have exploded!
"Hurray!"
"Ah......!"
"Whoa!"
"Awesome!"
After more than ten seconds, when everyone's shock subsided a little, it was unclear who led the way first, but suddenly all the people applauded in unison!
At this moment, applause shook the sky!
And in this applause, many people even whistled, and some directly began shouting slogans.
"Liao Liao Wei Wu!"
"Queen of the music scene, who else but me!"
"We're going to conquer the music scene!"
“……”
Just then, amidst all the commotion, Chen Changsheng's secretary, Little Wang, suddenly appeared in front of everyone, smiling brightly as she watched them celebrate, cheer and even let loose. When the applause and cheers finally died down, she smiled again and said: "Passing on Director Chen's words, to celebrate Liao Liao's album selling well, this month's bonus standard will be doubled for everyone!"
The office area suddenly became quiet for a moment, and then countless voices that were even higher or sharper instantly rang out, making Xiao Wang laugh and frown at the same time, covering his ears!
"Long live Chairman Chen!"
"President Chen, I love you!"
The general manager's office on the other side once again echoed with loud laughter.
Then, Chen Changsheng shouted from far away in the office, "Little Wang, quickly make more copies of that ranking list, one copy per person in the company, let everyone see the brilliant record of our great Liao Liao!"
…………
It's indeed a glorious achievement!
When dozens of copies were printed out, they were soon distributed to all the staff members of Changsheng Records. No matter how important the work at hand was, it was temporarily put aside by everyone. Everyone held two sheets of paper and stared at them intently.
On the one hand watching, on the other hand someone is praising with a clicking sound.
"Our boss Liao is indeed mighty and domineering!"
In the latest issue of Dongguan Bookstore's album sales chart, Liao Liao's "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou" debuted at number one on its first week of release with a sales volume of 28,559 copies!
To know that even when Liao Liang's same-name album "Liao Liang" was selling the best last year, its weekly sales in Dongguan Bookstore were only 14,827 copies!
By now, "Tao Sheng Yi Jiu" has only been on the market for its first week and has already more than doubled!
And don't forget, this is still achieved in the intense competition with Wu Yifan's new album "Let Me Fly" which is also very popular! And at the same time, there is also He Rundong's new album!
Under the double attack, the first week of empty air dropped to the top, this achievement, absolutely can be called fierce!
This time, the ninth single-week sales volume of over 200,000 on the Dongguan Bookstore's album sales historical ranking list has been released! Moreover, this data is only slightly inferior to the two records created by Wu Xue's previous album "Sisters Stand Up" and their new album "Let Me Fly" last week!
Historical ranking fourth!
At the time when Liao's album was most popular last year, it was first limited by the production link, resulting in insufficient supply, and then affected by the impact of piracy on the market, so that although Liao's album was full of infinite energy, it still failed to break through the weekly national sales of 200,000 copies for female singers. Of course, this ceiling was soon broken effortlessly by Wu Xing Wu Su's album, but that was only Wu Xing Wu Su, and for all other female singers except Wu Xing Wu Su, this ceiling still exists!
And now, "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou" has only been on the market for its first week, yet it has undoubtedly broken through this glass ceiling!
Moreover, what's even more inexplicably exciting is that the album "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou" isn't just selling well on its own - its release and hot sales have directly led to the cancellation of Wu Xing Yu Suo's new album "Rang Wo Fei"!
Yes, it's beheading!
In the previous week, when the sales chart came out, many people couldn't help but be shocked and shake their heads after seeing the list. In that week's sales, He Runkai's new album "Ku Zhu" which had a strong start in its first week on the market, was directly cut in half due to the impact of "Let Me Fly", and also because the quality of the album itself didn't seem too high, so its sales were less than 60% of the first week!
In this period, "Let Me Fly", which sold an astonishing 29,237 copies in its first week on the market, was expected to have a huge surge in sales and many experts predicted it would break 30,000 copies by next Wednesday. However, it only managed to sell 13,201 copies! Although this result is still enough to put the album at number two on the charts, it's less than half of its first week sales data!
To put it simply, it's even more miserable than He Runqing's "Bitter Bamboo"!
