A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

Yu Baye and Xiao Yu were very savvy this time.

Before Su Fan could even speak, they had already started stirring things up in their own chat.

The meanings they conveyed were quite intriguing.

"A singer-songwriter's work is suddenly removed from all online platforms without notice or explanation. Do you think this is reasonable?"

He didn't directly call it a ban, but his words implied that he was targeting the simultaneous actions of several mainstream platforms.

Fearing that netizens might not understand, they even arranged for people to piece together the outline of the event in the comments section.

"This is an organized takedown, not a technical glitch, not a copyright dispute; someone doesn't want Su Fan's voice to be heard..."

The internet immediately became abuzz.

"What is this if not a ban?"

"It's not a ban, it's capital clearing the field!"

"Whose interests did Su Fan actually threaten?"

……

At this moment, Yu Baye and Xiao Yu Bailongmen couldn't resist stirring things up: "You absolutely must not go looking for trouble with Beifeng Entertainment. Although that company is the prime suspect, it hasn't been confirmed yet whether they were behind it. Everyone must not act rashly."

Once this rhythm is set in motion, it's hard not to act impulsively.

As a result, netizens immediately pointed the finger at Beifeng Entertainment.

"Banning a singer is one thing, banning a song is another, but can you really plug the ears of everyone who's ever heard a song?"

"They sidelined Deng Xinyao back then, and now they're blacklisting Su Fan. Beifeng Entertainment's survival strategy is to eliminate the people who create the problems if they can't solve them!"

"The more uniformly the bans are issued, the more it shows how afraid you are of him; that's the so-called unwritten rule in the industry!"

……

Sun Zheng originally thought that the combined efforts of several platforms, along with the deterrent effect of the industry ban, would be enough to crush Su Fan.

But he underestimated the memory of netizens.

They also underestimated the ability of someone to manipulate the narrative.

After Beifeng Entertainment was hit, Sun Zheng couldn't sit still any longer.

He dialed Jiang Xiangdong's number.

After the call connected, he spoke faster than usual: "President Jiang, quickly release a few juicy tidbits to quell the hype; I can't keep up with this."

Jiang Xiangdong didn't dare to delay and immediately made arrangements.

Soon, various news reports began to circulate.

Someone issued a statement refuting the rumors about their relationship.

Someone announced that an additional show will be added to the concert.

There are official posters for film and television projects.

A new song is teased and will be released.

There are also some unremarkable behind-the-scenes videos.

These contents dominated different trending topics.

When Qu Feiming saw these messages, he angrily retorted, "They really will stop at nothing! Fine, fine, then I'll give you some news too!"

So Qu Feiming logged into his Weibo account and posted a message.

"I, Qu Feiming, hereby officially join Han Tang Entertainment, effective immediately!"

This news immediately attracted a lot of attention.

The name Qu Feiming carries weight in itself.

He never joined any entertainment company in his entire life.

From following others into the industry in his early years to later standing on the podium of a music academy.

It can be said that he has maintained a detached, observer's stance for most of his life in the entertainment industry.

In most people's eyes, he is a scholar, a senior, and the kind of person who doesn't participate in the game but only evaluates the results.

At this moment, he chose to join Han Tang Entertainment.

And to join at such a sensitive time.

This is definitely big news.

This news quickly became a trending topic.

Everyone who saw this message thought they had misread it.

I only left a comment after confirming it repeatedly.

"The old man never signed with any entertainment company in his entire life, but this time he actually chose Han Tang. This is even more explosive than Su Fan releasing ten songs!"

"It's no coincidence that Elder Qu stepped forward at this time; he's clearly supporting Su Fan!"

"Su Fan is Qu Feiming's apprentice, which makes sense. Su Fan is so lucky to have such a master!"

……

In no time, the master-disciple relationship between Qu Feiming and Su Fan became a trending topic.

Netizens gave them thumbs up.

Looking at the trending topics, Xu Meng turned to He Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, your grandfather really went all out this time. Not only did he publicly side with Su Fan, but he also directly announced that he was joining Han Tang. As a result, Han Tang Entertainment is no longer the small company it used to be. With your grandfather in charge, its foundation has been greatly enhanced. Before long, I'm afraid many people in the industry will want to join us."

He Xiaoxiao said, "I didn't expect my grandfather to have such courage; I have to give him a thumbs up."

Xu Meng sighed, "Su Fan is going through a tough time right now. How can we help?"

He Xiaoxiao's eyes darted around: "How about... we join Han Tang too?"

"Huh? Will this work?"

"Let's go find your second uncle and sound him out first, see what his attitude is before we talk about it."

"What if my second uncle blames me?" Xu Meng said with some worry.

"What are you afraid of? Just act cute and I'll get scolded. I won't lose anything."

……

The two left immediately and headed straight for the office of Xu Wenshan, the general manager of Huasheng Entertainment.

At that moment, Xu Wenshan was on the phone with his father, Xu Shuhan.

The two were talking about the same thing.

Xu Shuhan's attitude was very clear: "The industry has issued a ban, and we can't just stand by and watch. We have to make a statement and let people know that we have nothing to do with this."

Xu Wenshan frowned and said, "But at this critical juncture, if we stand up, it's like going against the grain of the entire industry."

"So what if we disagree? But just talking isn't enough; we have to take action."

"You mean...?"

Before Xu Wenshan could finish speaking, Xu Shuhan interrupted him: "Hasn't Xiaomeng always wanted to go out and explore? Perfect, let's take this opportunity."

Xu Wenshan instantly understood: "This is a good idea. It can both show our position and help Xiaomeng get to know that kid surnamed Su better."

"Alright, go and make the arrangements."

……

After hanging up the phone, Xu Wenshan pondered how to bring it up with Xu Meng.

Just then, there was a knock on his office door.

"Come in."

Xu Meng and He Xiaoxiao pushed open the door and entered.

On the way here, Xu Meng had been thinking about how to bring it up.

But after thinking it over and over, I still couldn't come up with a suitable excuse.

Xu Wenshan looked at the two men and asked, "What brings you two here?"

Xu Meng hesitated, unsure of where to begin.

He Xiaoxiao was straightforward: "Let me say it, Mr. Xu. I want to leave Huasheng and join Hantang."

Xu Wenshan was taken aback. It wasn't that the idea surprised him, but rather that these words happened to coincide with what he had been thinking about.

He quickly replied, "Okay, go ahead."

"We're friends with Su Fan, and now that he's in trouble, naturally we..."

He Xiao was telling a joke when he suddenly realized something.

She originally thought Xu Wenshan would not agree, so she prepared some excuses.

But to my surprise, the other party replied, "Okay, go ahead."

This clearly means agreement.
