A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

"Believe in Yourself" quickly became a trending topic less than half a day after it was released.

It wasn't a purchased spot; it was genuinely promoted by users.

In the comments section, on social media, and in short videos, people everywhere are humming the phrase "Believe in yourself."

The melody is simple and easy to sing along to.

Major entertainment companies started keeping an eye on Su Fan when he announced the establishment of Han Tang Entertainment.

As soon as the new song was released, they listened to it almost immediately.

However, after listening, they all fell silent.

Several companies had already met privately to plan a coordinated effort to spread negative publicity.

But after listening to "Believe in Yourself," they found themselves completely at a loss.

You can't just say, "This song is too confident and there's something wrong with it," can you?

If they say this, they'll be the ones who get criticized first.

All the prepared tactics failed in the face of such a song.

Su Fan didn't give them a chance to make a move at all.

This is a bit upsetting.

It's like you've already taken your pants off, and you ask me to watch your cat do a backflip, and after watching it, you can't say it's bad.

At the same time, Jiang Wenli and Lin Chongguang also finished listening to the song.

Jiang Wenli exclaimed sincerely, "This kid really didn't disappoint. He's only been here a few days and he's already caused such a stir."

Lin Chongguang said, "The main point is that the theme of this song is sound. If he had changed to a different style, those people in Kyoto would have been restless long ago."

Jiang Wenli nodded: "Recently, several companies have been making trouble, they're making plans, it seems like they're planning something."

"Just keep an eye on them, and as long as they don't cross the line, don't interfere."

"I know what's good for me, but this kid is no pushover either. He came up with such a flawless song right away, clearly setting a high bar for himself."

Lin Chongguang didn't respond, but instead changed the subject, asking, "How's the investigation going with the Ye family?"

Jiang Wenli's expression also darkened: "It's confirmed, there was indeed an asset transfer operation."

Lin Chongguang asked, "Have you found out the motive?"

Jiang Wenli shook his head: "No, given the Ye family's status and background, there's absolutely no need for them to do such a thing. I still can't figure it out."

"I heard that investment fund is run by the Ye family's son. Have you found out his intentions?"

Jiang Wenli said, "That Ye Xuan was in a car accident and is no longer alive. However, we checked his WeChat Moments and found nothing suspicious."

Lin Chongguang then asked, "Does he have any debts outside? Or has he gotten involved in anything he shouldn't?"

"After investigating, we found nothing. Although he has a bad reputation, he doesn't have any obvious financial loopholes," Jiang Wenli answered truthfully.

Lin Chongguang asked in bewilderment, "Then that makes even less sense. Doing this would not benefit the Ye family at all, and might even drag the entire family into it."

"Indeed, a significant portion of this money came from people within the Kyoto circle. Now that the Ye family is in trouble, people haven't started making a fuss yet, but it's bound to explode sooner or later. At that point, the Ye family probably won't be able to withstand it."

Lin Chongguang was silent for a moment, then said, "Don't do anything yet. Before we find out the whole story, let's follow the procedures."

……

At this moment, in a club, Yuji Honda leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and twirled a whiskey glass in his hand.

The phone screen in front of him was displaying the trending search term "Believe in Yourself".

"They really have energy; they've caused such a commotion so quickly!"

Masaki Sano suggested, "Why don't we go and make contact with him? After all, it's a newly established company, and its foundation isn't stable yet. If we step in now, we'll have an advantage."

Honda Yuji put down his wine glass and said, "No rush. The more he makes a scene, the more restless those people in Kyoto will become. When he's been squeezed out, we can lend a hand. That would be a real lifesaver. By then, we won't even need to ask; he'll come knocking on our door himself."

Sano Masaki was somewhat worried: "But that kid isn't someone to be trifled with. So many companies wanted to sign him before, but he avoided them all. In the end, he started his own company. A person like that probably won't be easily manipulated."

Honda Yuji scoffed, "No matter how much trouble he causes, he's just a minor character. We don't need to focus on him right now. The most important thing is the Tengfei Group. Ye Xuanjun has already paved the way for us. Taking over Tengfei is the real priority."

Sano Masaki nodded slightly: "As you instructed, I have already started spreading rumors about the Ye family. The money invested in the investment fund is now in limbo. Although those people haven't made a public fuss yet, they're already getting restless in private."

Honda Yuji said, "It's good that Ye Xuanjun's sacrifice has made them hold back for a while. That way, when the time is right and they start making trouble, we can go and close in. At that time, the Ye family will have no choice."

Sano Masaki said with amusement, "It seems that Ye Xuan did do a good thing after all. Although I don't know why he did it, the result is good for us. From this point of view, he is indeed our ally."

……

The two plotted for a while longer before ending the discussion.

The Ye family, however, was still grieving over Ye Xuan's death and Ye Yao's coma.

But some rumors still reached their ears.

Ye Sicheng realized the crisis.

Because in the past few days, he had seen the betting agreements that Ye Xuan had signed with those wealthy families.

If this project cannot proceed, the Ye family will be in deep trouble.

Ye Sicheng still can't understand why Ye Xuan did this.

He kept recalling those overlooked details, but ultimately couldn't figure it out.

He had his suspicions that someone was setting him up.

But if that scheme exists, who is in charge?

No matter how despicable Ye Xuan is, he is still a member of the Ye family. He should not and has no reason to do such a reckless thing.

But that's exactly what happened.

Although only a portion of the money was spent, that's not the point.

The key issue is those betting agreements; they can really ruin an entire family.

Although the Ye family is large and wealthy, it is far from being able to allocate assets in units of hundreds of millions at will.

Most of those figures on the books correspond to specific assets, equity, and projects, leaving limited cash available for maneuver.

Once faced with debt collection, the only thing they can do is sell their shares in Tengfei Group.

Thinking this through, a possibility suddenly flashed through Ye Sicheng's mind: "Could it be that the people from Xiao Rizi are behind this?"

The thought made him sit up straight.

He recalled that several groups of small-time investors had indeed approached him through various channels, expressing their desire to acquire shares in Tengfei Group.

The Ye family's stance at the time was clear: they would not sell the company's shares to foreign investors.

This is even written into the company's articles of association, stipulating that existing shareholders have the right of first refusal if any shareholder wants to sell their shares.

This clause was originally established to prevent outsiders from taking advantage of any vulnerabilities.

The problem now is, if everyone's money is tied up, or if the Ye family can't hold on any longer, will this clause still be effective?

When everyone is powerless to exercise their right of priority, are the rules still effective?

Thinking of this, Ye Sicheng felt a chill run down his spine.
