Cass's smile brightened. Shaotian, previously disinterested in the conversation, shifted his attention to Cass and asked, "What made you so happy?"

Interrupting Minglan mid-sentence, Cass explained, "CertifiedGossip invited me to appear on their podcast CertifiedGuest tomorrow, and they even agreed to let me sing my two new songs at the end. It's the first time they'll livestream it on all their platforms."

Her comment dripped with condescension, as if it made no sense for Cass to be invited among all the people they could have chosen.

Cass looked at her, raising an eyebrow. "Why wouldn't they? My new songs, released just two hours ago, reached 15 million views and 5 million downloads."
