Taking Liu Yifei back to Northeast China for the Chinese New Year has sent the entire internet into

Fang Yu stared at Cai Kun for a full two seconds.

The young man looked very sincere and spoke with utmost seriousness.

His face was practically covered with a piece of paper.

I am sensible and I will not cause trouble for my seniors.

Fang Yu's lips twitched to the side.

"Brother Chicken".

Cai Kun opened his mouth reflexively.

"Don't call me Chicken Bro..."

Every time he hears that name, his back teeth ache.

I still can't figure out how I have anything to do with chickens.

What's even more disheartening is that after Fang Yu made that remark, many people in the company started to follow suit.

The dance teacher in the practice room called out, the receptionist called out, and even the cleaning lady passing by greeted him cheerfully with "Good morning, Brother Chicken."

Fang Yu completely ignored his protest, leaned forward, put his arm on his knee, and looked directly at Cai Kun.

"I can understand what netizens are saying."

"But for you to come and tell me this is pure fantasy."

Cai Kun blinked.

"A shimmering silver smile?"

Fang Yu had no choice but to translate for him.

"It'll make us a laughingstock."

Cai Kun was even more bewildered.

"Brother Yu, what does that mean?"

Fang Yu leaned back in his chair and casually placed his hands behind his head.

"You may not have been on the leaderboard before and don't understand the ins and outs of it."

Cai Kun quickly sat up straight, adopting a posture of listening attentively.

"Do you think that if I write another new song, release it directly, and the data surges, I can push Liu Yifei out of second place?"

"So, does that mean all ten spots in the top ten will be occupied by my name, Fang Yu?"

Cai Kun nodded.

This logic sounds reasonable.

Fang Yu shook his head.

"That's not how you do it."

He made a gesture in the air.

"I now occupy nine of the top ten spots, with the last one being 'Comrades: Almost a Love Story'."

"If I release a new song that's incredibly high quality and its popularity skyrockets, it could definitely break into the top ten."

"But when it rushed in, who did it push aside?"

Cai Kun opened his mouth slightly, but didn't say anything.

Fang Yu held up one finger.

"It's highly likely that 'Comrades: Almost a Love Story' will still be ranked tenth."

New songs come in, old songs go out.

"In the end, it looked lively. Nine of the top ten songs were my songs, plus one of your sister-in-law's songs."

"The quantity hasn't changed at all."

Cai Kun finally realized what was happening and blurted out, "Unless..."

"Unless I release a whole bunch of new songs at once."

Fang Yu continued speaking, following his lead.

"Every song has to be more powerful than the songs currently on the charts."

"I'll shuffle all my old songs and, while I'm at it, beat your sister-in-law."

Do you think this is a reliable idea?

Cai Kun shook his head vigorously.

Even in his wildest dreams, he wouldn't dare to do that.

Fang Yu shrugged.

"So, that's about it for this matter."

"Nine poems it is, the main theme is family harmony."

Cai Kun opened his mouth.

He originally wanted to say a few more words of comfort.

Before he could even organize his thoughts, Fang Yu had already steered the conversation away from there.

"Alright, stop worrying about me."

"You're talking."

Fang Yu leaned forward again.

"First stage performance of 'Idol New Generation'".

What style of song do you want?

Cai Kun was stunned.

He didn't expect Fang Yu to turn around so quickly.

One second they were talking about something earth-shattering, like the top hits chart being crowned.

The next second, all attention fell on him, the trainee who had not yet debuted.

Just like those trending topics, data, and god-like records, they are not a big deal to Fang Yu.

……

The two chatted in the lounge for almost an hour and a half.

When the door opened again, Cai Kun was completely different.

When I arrived, I looked like a student waiting for their homework to be graded.

I walked out with such speed that I almost jumped up in the hallway.

My mind was filled with what Fang Yu had just said.

He hadn't gone far when Cai Kun suddenly turned back.

He peeked into the lounge and shouted.

"Brother Yu! I'll treat you to lunch!"

Fang Yu looked up.

"Okay, what do you want to eat?"

Cai Kun's chest was still heaving with excitement as he spoke with great fervor.

"You said, pick whatever you like!"

Fang Yu looked him up and down.

Cai Kun's family is indeed well-off; he went to high school in California.

His monthly allowance is likely more than he used to receive in a year.

That being the case.

Fang Yu spoke.

"How's that Japanese restaurant downstairs?"

Cai Kun patted his chest.

"no problem!"

Fang Yu stood up and patted his pants.

"Let's go then."

……

The two exited the elevator and went into the basement of the mall.

The Japanese restaurant had a fairly large storefront, with a sign that read "Wagyu Beef Specialty Restaurant".

The cheapest lunch set meal is 880.

Fang Yu pushed open the door and went in. The waiter led the two into a private room.

After sitting down, Fang Yu took the menu and casually flipped through a couple of pages.

His eyes swept across the menu, and his finger tapped the "A5 Wagyu Beef Special Set Meal" section.

One thousand six hundred and sixty thousand one.

"Two of these, please."

Cai Kun sat opposite him and peeked at the string of numbers.

"OK."

He flipped through the menu.

"Let's add a sashimi platter, their salmon looks good."

His tone was as calm as if he were eating Lanzhou noodles with an egg.

Fang Yu nodded in satisfaction.

Chicken Bro is a worldly man, and he can easily rip people off.

The two ate quickly.

In less than half an hour, the plate was empty.

While Cai Kun was paying the bill, Fang Yu was picking his teeth at the door of the private room.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Cai Kun take out his phone to scan the QR code, and the numbers on the bill paused for a full two seconds.

Four thousand three.

The lunch cost 4,300 yuan.

If you put it in Kaoshantun, you could afford to prepare several top-of-the-line Northeastern banquets.

Fang Yu threw the toothpick into the trash can.

My conscience hardly aches.

almost.

……

After finishing her meal and returning to the company, Fang Yu spent the entire afternoon relaxing in the break room.

If you eat too much, you shouldn't exercise too much.

If your stomach is full of good things, you'll lose a lot if you digest them too quickly.

The light outside the window shifted from bright white to warm yellow, and then gradually dimmed.

5:47 PM.

Fang Yu was leaning back on the sofa scrolling through short videos when a WeChat message popped up at the top of his phone.

Fairy Sister: [Come to my house tonight.]

Fang Yu clicked into the chat box.

Fairy Sister: [I have something to tell you.]

Fairy Sister: [Also, I've prepared a surprise.]

Fang Yu stared at the word "surprise" for three seconds.

My heart skipped a beat for no reason.

He typed quickly.

What surprise?

The other side replied very quickly.

Fairy Sister: [You'll know when you get here.]

Fang Yu put down his phone and sank into the sofa.

Surprise, her home, evening.

The combination of these three words is quite devastating.

The images in Fang Yu's mind began to veer off course uncontrollably...
