No one knew exactly what kind of song Gu Xingyi had written for Feng Xiaoxiao and Yi Shuihan. All they knew was that after they came back, they were holding the music sheets like treasures, their faces practically grinning from ear to ear.

Before anyone could ask, the two of them had already sprinted off and locked themselves in the recording studio, clearly in a rush to practice the song.

Hua Country's Strongest Voice was a live broadcast every Friday at 8 PM, running for eight episodes over the course of two months, making it the biggest show before the Spring Festival.

With less than a week to go, Feng Xiaoxiao and Yi Shuihan didn't dare waste a second. As soon as they got the song, they knew that once they performed it perfectly, it would become their breakout hit—there was no doubt about it!

Gu Xingyi, however, didn't follow them out. At that moment, he was sitting in his office, making a phone call.

The company still lacked a few key talents. In order to compete with Tianmei Entertainment and other entertainment companies, he needed to recruit more people, and he already had a few candidates in mind.

Not long after, when everyone saw Gu Xingyi walking out of the office, his face was beaming with a smile.

"Everyone ready? Tomorrow, three heavyweight talents will be joining our company. Make sure you're all on your toes and leave a good impression!"

The group exchanged curious glances, and Tao Lele couldn't help but ask.

"Ah! President Gu! Stop keeping us in suspense! Who are they?"

The reason they addressed him as President Gu was because Yun-jie and Tao Lele had discussed it beforehand. As the company grew, they needed to set an example in the workplace. Outside of work, they could call him however they liked, but in the office, they had to maintain a certain level of professionalism.

Of course, Xia Xiyao and Chen Feng were exceptions. One was the boss lady, and the other was a company shareholder, so they didn't need to follow this rule.

Though everyone was curious, Gu Xingyi just smiled, keeping the secret.

"There's no fun in telling you now. You'll find out tomorrow! Consider it a surprise!"

"Pfft…"

The group all made a dissatisfied sound, their curiosity piqued, but Gu Xingyi just smiled and didn't mind their reaction. He turned to Yang Chenglin and spoke again.

"Deputy Director Yang, please bear with it a little longer. The company is now getting on track, and we need to recruit talent. Also, spread the word that from today on, Xingyao Entertainment is officially looking for new singers. These next few days, Xia Xiyao and I will personally conduct interviews. For those who pass, they won't need to worry about the songs!"

Hearing this, Yang Chenglin's expression became a bit stern. Since Gu Xingyi woke up, he seemed to have changed a lot.

If the old Gu Xingyi was somewhat cautious, the new Gu Xingyi was now fully charged, radiating a much more commanding aura.

It seemed he was preparing to challenge the entire entertainment industry on his own.

That was understandable. His own talent gave him the confidence to do so.

"Got it! I'll register the company's official Weibo, and we'll also expand our promotions on various platforms."

Yang Chenglin nodded in agreement.

Once everything was nearly settled, the group chatted a bit more, and Yang Chenglin left first—she, as the HR director, was the busiest at this early stage of the company's development.

Shortly after Yang Chenglin left, two pieces of news online immediately excited netizens once again.

Just last night, netizens were still worrying whether Xingyao Entertainment could handle Wei Wei's challenge. Yet, in just one night, the situation had completely flipped.

The first bit of news was undoubtedly that Gu Xingyi had woken up and been discharged from the hospital!

A paparazzi had caught a photo of Gu Xingyi and Xia Xiyao leaving the hospital together. In the photo, though his face looked a bit pale, there were no other issues with him.

As soon as the news broke, netizens were immediately stirred up. Within hours, Gu Xingyi's name was trending once again.

Under these trending topics, the comments section was abuzz, with everyone discussing fervently.

   "Holy crap! He woke up? Is this for real? I don't read much, don't lie to me! Didn't they say he was in a deep coma? The picture doesn't look like there's anything wrong with him!"

   "Gu Xingyi is such a jerk! Everyone was so worried about him, shedding a few tears, and now that he wakes up, he doesn't even bother to let us know!"

   "Crocodile tears? Hahaha!"

   "Woke up, that's good! Now I just want to know if Wei Wei's panicking!"

   "Wei Wei: Not panicking at all! I'll just latch onto a lucky break!"

   "Gu Xingyi: I heard your name is Wei Wei? (Gu Xingyi with red eyes meme)."

As entertainment companies saw the trending topics, they couldn't help but feel bitter. Alright! This guy comes back, and the trending topics are nearly filled up!

For a moment, they remembered the fear of being dominated by him.

Even Liu Gao, when he heard that Gu Xingyi had woken up, couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He even specifically asked Wei Wei if he was confident.

Wei Wei had sworn that there was no problem, boasting that no one had ever bested him in rap!

But Liu Gao still wasn't entirely reassured. After all, Lu Ying had already been defeated, and she was once the top diva!

However, now that the challenge had been issued, Liu Gao could only hope that Gu Xingyi wouldn't be writing rap songs.

The second topic that sparked discussion among netizens was that Xingyao Entertainment had officially started recruiting singers! And they were breaking the norm!

As long as you have the talent and confidence, Xingyao Entertainment would welcome you. Gu Xingyi and Xia Xiyao were personally conducting interviews, and once you passed, the benefits were exceptional! Not only that, but you would also get a song written by Gu Xingyi himself!

If Gu Xingyi waking up shocked netizens and other entertainment companies, this news was like an earthquake in the entertainment industry!

It was clear that if Xingyao Entertainment succeeded, the entire entertainment industry's structure would be rewritten! The new era had truly arrived!

Gone were the high walls of old, and now anyone with talent would be given the chance to shine and rise quickly. This meant more opportunities for those talented singers at the bottom and newcomers.

But for the capitalists, Xingyao Entertainment was directly challenging their bottom line.

In the past, the entertainment industry was ruled by capital, relationships, and unspoken rules. Only a few truly talented singers had the chance to make a name for themselves.

But with this announcement from Xingyao Entertainment, many saw hope. Their basic interests were now being threatened.

From now on, anyone with some talent would go to Xingyao Entertainment for an interview. Who would still want to join their companies?

At this point, all the companies couldn't sit still anymore. They started contacting each other to exchange opinions, and in the end, all eyes turned to the three giants.

Yinhai Entertainment had no response, as if it had died.

Tianmei Entertainment and Shengshi Entertainment, rarely ever cooperating, jointly issued a statement. They were forming an offensive and defensive alliance to shatter Gu Xingyi's undefeated myth in Hua Country's Strongest Voice and to oppose Xingyao Entertainment in various fields!

At the same time, Tianmei Entertainment and Shengshi Entertainment invited all companies in the entertainment industry to sanction Xingyao Entertainment. The first step of this sanction was to start with Hua Country's Strongest Voice!

If the previous three-day celebration was just a minor tussle between Gu Xingyi and Tianmei Entertainment, then from now on, it would be an all-out war between him and the entire entertainment industry!
