A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

Soon, Yu Baye recorded a video.

In the video, he said, "I listened to 'Ten Yuan Renminbi' three times, and I only had one feeling: it was cathartic. Those who are being sarcastic and stirring up trouble, aren't you going to take it personally? Well, then please sit tight..."

Xiaoyu Bailongmen also published an article with a single-word title: "Criticism".

The article concludes: "Some people think that money and power can turn black into white, but this time they've met their match. Su Fan doesn't cause trouble, but he's never afraid of trouble either."

This assist prompted Su Fan's fans to like and share the post.

The online debate began to revolve around the "Ten Yuan Renminbi".

When Qin Shen came across Su Fan's song "Ten Yuan Renminbi" back in his hometown in Northeast China, he was sitting cross-legged on the kang (a heated brick bed) peeling peanuts.

He became more and more excited as he listened, crushing peanut shells all over the floor. Finally, unable to resist any longer, he slammed his hand on the kang table, picked up his phone, and dialed Su Fan's number.

"Brother Fan, your Mandarin is getting more and more standard! Let me tell you, this song has to be sung in our Northeastern Mandarin to have the right feel!"

Su Fan was silent for a second on the other end of the phone. He really wanted to say, "How dare you say that's Mandarin?!"

Before he could speak, Qin Shen chimed in, "Brother Fan, I'm not good at singing, but I'm an expert at playing the trumpet. How about I organize a performance for that guy named Ye Xuan? Our Northeast Suona is great for sending away the plague god, it's really awesome!"

Su Fan quickly stopped him: "Brother Shen, there's no need. Don't get involved in my business with him; it won't do you any good."

Qin Shen objected: "Brother Fan, you're wrong about that. If I were to cower in the back while that kid is targeting you, would I even be human? I have to get revenge for you!"

"Brother Shen, targeting those people won't do you any good. You know their backgrounds."

"Don't worry, Brother Fan, when it comes to cursing, no one can beat us Northeasterners."

Knowing he couldn't dissuade him, Su Fan could only say a few words to him to be mindful of his behavior before hanging up.

Qin Shen hung up the phone and, without saying a word, set up his phone and started a live stream.

His live stream is different now than before. Ever since his great-grandfather's joyous funeral, he has become unique in the funeral live stream category.

In addition, Su Fan's book "Home in Northeast China" became a hit, and his fan base grew by hundreds of thousands.

As soon as the live stream started, a lot of people flooded in, and the chat was full of speculation.

"Old Qin, whose house is in trouble?"

"Which village is having a funeral today?"

……

Qin Shen cleared his throat in front of the camera.

Then he said, "I heard some people have been talking about my brother Fan behind his back lately. They're like asking for trouble! Look at them, like they're from a sauerkraut vat, all rotten and wilted. And look at your double chin jiggling so loudly, you don't even need a butcher to slaughter a pig for the New Year. What are you guys doing jumping around like that? Wearing a suit and tie, you think you're something special? Let me tell you, with your skills, in our Northeast, even the village idiot wouldn't look down on you..."

Qin Shen's output completely baffled netizens.

The live chat exploded instantly.

"Holy crap! Old Qin's really going all out? He's going all out!"

"Hahaha, what the heck is a sauerkraut jar coming to life? That's hilarious!"

"Why does Old Qin use proverbs when he curses? He's a cultured man!"

"Su Fan just started singing, and Lao Qin followed suit—that was a brilliant teamwork!"

"Northeasterners' swearing is truly a family tradition!"

……

The number of viewers in the live stream skyrocketed, and gifts were also being sent in droves.

Qin Shen got more and more into cursing, going on to insult everyone from Ye Xuan who was named and shamed to the bloggers who were following suit in criticizing Su Fan.

Ye Xuan also saw the comments about him online. He was so angry that he slammed his hand on the table, making the teacup jump.

In order to save face and to target Su Fan, Ye Xuan launched an even fiercer attack.

Marketing accounts and online trolls maliciously interpreted Su Fan's past statements, song lyrics, and even crowdfunding projects.

Furthermore, they also filed a complaint against the song "Ten Yuan Renminbi".

The reasons for the report were written very professionally.

First, the lyrics contain insulting content and are suspected of being a personal attack.

Second, the song has sparked group conflict online and disrupted social harmony.

Third, as public figures, publishing such works violates public order and good morals, and it is recommended that they be removed from the platform.

……

Several waves of complaints simultaneously poured into music platforms and cultural regulatory departments.

Below Su Fan's Weibo post, the comment section that originally supported him began to be filled with copied and pasted report links and slogans.

The comments section gradually became a bit out of control.

Su Fan was also thrust into the spotlight.

At this moment, on Longhu Mountain, Huixin finished her practice and was playing with her phone.

Suddenly, he saw the news about Su Fan.

Seeing someone cursing Su Fan, Hui Xin picked up a twig and drew circles on the ground.

As he drew, he said, "I'll teach you a lesson for bullying my junior uncle! I'll draw a circle to curse you!"

Seeing him muttering to himself, Zhao Xiyan asked, "What are you doing?"

Huixin handed the phone to her master: "Someone is insulting Junior Uncle!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiyan picked up his phone, glanced at it, and frowned.

Having understood the cause and effect of the matter, he turned and went into his master's room.

Zhang Lingyuan sat upright on the wooden couch, with a half-read scripture book in front of him.

Zhao Xiyan stood at the door and said, "Master, it seems that Junior Brother has encountered some trouble."

"What happened?" Zhang Lingyuan asked.

Zhao Xiyan explained the situation between Su Fan and Ye Xuan.

After listening, Zhang Lingyuan sighed, "Fate is truly a wondrous thing."

Zhao Xiyan asked, "Master, should we stand up for our junior brother?"

"No need, making a scene might not be a bad thing!"

"Right now, the internet is full of comments targeting our junior apprentice, so he's under a lot of pressure."

Zhang Lingyuan retorted, "When have you ever seen that kid suffer a loss? As long as the bottom line is still there, let them do whatever they want."

Zhao Xiyan asked, "What is the bottom line?"

"As long as your junior brother's freedom of speech isn't blocked, let them do whatever they want. People can say whatever they want; it won't hurt them. But if they can't even speak, then it's a different story."

Zhao Xiyan nodded, turned around and left the room.

……

At this moment, Su Fan leaned back in his chair, scrolling through the overwhelming links to reports and screenshots taken out of context, a slow smile curving his lips.

It wasn't a wry smile; I genuinely found it funny.

"They're getting desperate, huh? Since you think it's not high-class enough, then I'll give you something more high-class!"

He closed Weibo, turned on his computer, and typed a song title on the keyboard.

"The Upside-Down Song"

This song was written and sung by Dao Lang on Earth.

After Su Fan had settled all the lyrics, music, arrangement, and copyright matters, he went to the city to record the song.
