" 'Rising Star' has reached the second position!"
"'Shine' has become third!"
"Haha… Top-3 of the ranking all belong to our company. The other two songs are also in the Top 10. With this, half of the Top-10 songs are ours."
The Operation Department was extremely excited about the result. In the history of working in Dreamwave Entertainment, there had never been such a great result.
It would be extremely good for them if they managed to get one of the spots at the Top-3 of the weekly ranking. Not to mention, one, all three of the spots were theirs. And they didn't even spend as many resources as they usually do.
Director Mertz also looked extremely satisfied. He called Director Zayden to share the good news.
Now the various discussion groups in the company have gone completely crazy, and they were all about the songs of Irina and Cecilia.
"Who are they? How have they released so many songs at once? And how are their songs all in the Top 10?"
"Directors should give us an explanation. How can you give all the good songs to the newcomers? This is unfair!"
"Yes, we asked for a song last week and they said that they had no good song. If that's the case, how the hell do there happen to be five songs in the Top-10 of the Weekly Rankings?"
The managers of various idols were also boycotting and telling that Dreamwave Entertainment's higher-up was being biased and not sharing resources fairly.
There were also many Top idols who were calling Director Zayden to ask about the composer of the songs. They want to request songs from the composer.
However, Director Zayden himself didn't know who the composer was and was not capable of fulfilling their request.
"Yes, yes, I would try! But I am not sure about whether he would agree."
*PHEW!
Director Zayden was having a headache. But looking at the results, he smiled. This was the first time that a newcomer has surpassed an already-established idol. In addition to established idols, Irina and Cecilia dethroned the Top Idols' songs as well.
Moreover, he also garnered some respect from the Top Idols of the company. Usually, those Top-Idol would have huge egos and pride and wouldn't listen to him.
Those Top-Idols didn't want to share their resources with rookies and were on the side of the Vice-President. Now, seeing them desperate and asking for help, Director Zayden felt better.
Anyway, he decided to call and ask Alan whether his composer friend was interested in writing for those idols. As even some B-List Idol has requested the songs, he thought that maybe the composer 'Eclipse Shadow' would be interested.
Even though he has no good opinion of those idols, it would be beneficial for the company if the composer could help those idols and give them songs.
"Hello, Manager Alan! I want to ask whether your friend is interested in writing songs for other idols."
"Sorry, Director Zayden! I think that for the time being he doesn't want to write anymore. I would call him if he was interested."
On the other side of the call, Alan rejected what could be called the dreams of many people. He was surprised that other Idols had approached Director Zayden to ask for more songs from him.
However, thinking calmly, he had no interest in working with other idols. While it was true that his songs might become more popular with popular singers singing them, he believed that even without that, the songs from System were all high-quality and would become popular even if he did not work with Top Idols.
"Okay, sorry for disturbing you!"
Director Zayden hung up. He was a little disappointed by Alan's answer.
He believes that if 'Eclipse Shadow' writes a couple more songs of similar quality, Dreamwave Entertainment would soon become the number 1 idol company.
However, he knows that it is very time-consuming to write songs, especially good songs. So, he didn't pursue it further. He was already more than satisfied with the five songs that their company got.
*****
"What? Really? You should have told me earlier. I am coming to Dreamwave Entertainment. I would also call Cecilia."
Irina said as she hung up the call.
At that moment, Alan called her to let her know that their song had become the number-one song on the Weekly ranking.
Irina was really surprised and then became very excited. Even though she was resting at home, after hearing this news, she decided to come to the company right away.
She also called Cecilia, who was equally surprised. They both wore nice dresses and came to the company.
As Irina and Cecilia arrived at Dreamwave Entertainment, she saw that the company was in chaos. The news of their success had spread like wildfire and everyone was talking about them.
As soon as Irina and Cecilia entered the building, they were surrounded by employees.
"Congratulations on your success!"
"You guys are amazing! I can't believe you took the top spot!"
"We are so proud to have you in our company!"
Irina and Cecilia smiled and thanked everyone. They were overwhelmed by the attention they were receiving.
Previously, because of their conflict with Luna, they were ignored by most of them. Now that they achieved good results, everybody wanted to make connections with the two of them.
Cecilia was a bit overwhelmed by all the attention but she managed to compose herself.
After the chaos died down, Irina and Cecilia went to meet with Alan in his office.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Come in!"
A voice came from inside the office.
-THUK!
"Alan, why didn't you call us earlier?"
"I thought that I should give you time to rest. Moreover, didn't I call you after you two had reached the top?"
"By that time, it was already too late. You should have already given us a call when our song entered the Top 10, no, Top 30!"
Irina said while Cecilia nodded. She might be sounding like she is scolding Alan, however, she was just excited. She never expected the song to be in the Top 10, much less get the number 1 position.
It was their first song and it had already broken through to the number 1 ranking. She didn't know how to express her excitement.
Contrary to her and Cecilia, Alan was quite calm. He just listened to their talk and would occasionally nod at them.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
While the three of them were talking, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Alan called out.
"It's Director Zayden, may I come in?" a voice responded from outside.
"Of course, please come in!"
-TUCK!
"As expected, Irina and Cecilia were here."
"Congratulations! You two have made history in our company. Your songs have surpassed even the top idols in the industry. I'm so proud of you girls. This is a huge accomplishment for both you and Dreamwave Entertainment. Keep up the good work!"
Director Zayden said. He was truly happy and looked at Irina and Cecilia as treasures of the company.
Not only did they raise the popularity of the company but also proved that the Preside side's idea was good. They showed that investing in young people was the right choice and that it would benefit the company.
"Thank you, Director Zayden. We couldn't have done it without the support and resources of Dreamwave Entertainment."
"Haha… No need to be humble. It was all your hard work. I know that the company has failed to provide you two with good resources in your debut. But trust me, I had a talk with the CEO and we have decided to increase the resources that you two would receive in the future."
Director Zayden said, his voice firm.
"And Manager Alan! Thank you for your hard work! The company owes this success to you."
Director Zayden said. While he really treasured Irina and Cecilia, from his point of view, the most valuable person was Alan.
Not to mention the ability to manage everything and give a successful debut, he also has a connection to Eclipse Shadow whose songs all took the Top spot in the weekly ranking.
"No need to mention, I was just helping because of Irina and Cecilia."
Alan said honestly. He didn't care about the company and even hated it a little. He was working hard only for Irina and Cecilia. And he has no problem showing this attitude.
"Anyway, congratulations again," Director Zayden said, turning back to Irina and Cecilia. "I'll leave you all to your celebrations."
As Director Zayden left the room, Alan turned to Irina and Cecilia.
"So, what's the plan now?"
