A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

Su Fan turned on his computer and typed a few words on the keyboard.

"Outside the Temple"

That's right, the song Su Fan is going to present is "On Earth," a song with lyrics by Tang Tian, ​​music by Peng Fei, arrangement by Zeng Wuqiujie, and sung by Chen Chusheng.

It is also the ending theme song of the movie "Lychee of Chang'an".

This song, told from the perspective of Lee Sun-deok, an ordinary man in the movie, expresses his courage and belief in upholding his principles despite being in a helpless reality.

The song tells the story of an ordinary person's life, and how, when faced with the clash between ideals and reality, he chooses to follow his inner sense of justice and kindness after weighing the pros and cons.

After organizing the lyrics, music, arrangement, and copyright information, Su Fan leaned back in his chair and couldn't help but sigh, "Come to think of it, my current situation is really fitting for this song."

After dealing with all of this, he got up and headed straight for the recording studio.

Seeing this, the others followed out of curiosity.

Everyone wanted to know what kind of work Su Fan would produce this time.

Inside the recording studio, Su Fan put on his headphones, gave the staff outside an OK sign, and indicated that they could begin.

Outside, He Xiaoxiao, Xu Meng, Xie Siyu, Ma Xiaoya, Jiang Yi, Cui Zhan, and others were all gathered around the listening device.

There weren't enough monitoring headphones, so everyone huddled together to listen.

He Xiaoxiao muttered to herself, "I want to see if his song this time can make me want to kneel down!"

As soon as the intro started, the group still had a relaxed, amused look on their faces.

But they couldn't hold back for even a minute.

Xu Meng's expression froze.

Xie Siyu's eyes widened further.

He Xiaoxiao was completely stunned.

The others were equally astonished.

Simply put, this song is just too catchy.

When the song ended, the recording studio fell silent, but the people outside seemed frozen in place, looking at each other without saying a word.

Su Fan took off his headphones and came out. Seeing their appearance, he asked, "What happened to you guys? Did something dirty possess you?"

Before he finished speaking, the people in front of him bowed in unison, their movements so synchronized as if they had rehearsed.

Su Fan was startled and instinctively took a half step back: "Holy crap, did I really run into something dirty?"

He Xiaoxiao clasped her hands in a fist salute, her face full of piety: "God Su, please accept my utmost respect once again."

Xie Siyu chimed in, "I feel like all the songs I listened to before were a complete waste of time!"

Ma Xiaoya retorted, not to be outdone: "President Su, from now on, wherever you point, I'll go!"

Xu Meng wasn't as exaggerated as the others, but she nodded seriously: "This song is really good."

Jiang Yi, Cui Zhan, and other men, while not quite as dramatic, were still captivated by the song.

Su Fan said, "Alright, stop making it sound like we're paying homage to a powerful sect. People will think I'm running a cult here."

He Xiaoxiao asked, "When are you planning to release the song? I'm really looking forward to it."

Everyone else looked at Su Fan with anticipation.

Su Fan said, "I'll go ask NetEase Cloud Music about it first. If they're ready, I'll put the song up for sale."

Just then, the receptionist quickly walked over and said softly, "Mr. Su, someone is looking for you outside."

Su Fan casually asked, "Who is it?"

"He seems like someone who lives a simple life."

Upon hearing this, Su Fan frowned immediately.

But then he thought about it again and decided to meet with the other party to see what they were really up to.

The person who arrived was none other than Honda Yuji.

Upon meeting, Honda Yuji immediately put on a warm smile: "Su Fan-kun, hello, hello, we've finally met."

Su Fan sized him up: "Who are you? Are we that close?"

"Let me introduce myself. I come from the great Yamato people, and my family name is Honda. You must have heard of that name, Su Fan-kun, right?"

"Never heard of it, but I've ridden it."

Honda Yuji's smile froze for a moment, not immediately realizing what those words meant.

Su Fan didn't bother to explain and went straight to the point: "What do you want from me?"

Honda Yuji put on a smile again: "I know Su Fan has been having some trouble lately, and I've come here to help you out of this predicament."

"When you state the outcome, it's best to state all the conditions at once, so I don't have to keep asking you questions."

Honda Yuji wasn't annoyed and continued to smile, saying, "Su Fan-kun is indeed a straightforward person. Well then, I won't beat around the bush. I can help you resolve your current predicament, on the condition that I want to acquire your company."

Su Fan chuckled. "Is there anything else?"

Honda Yuji was stunned: "Su Fan-kun, what do you mean by this?"

"What I mean is, if you have nothing else to say, please leave."

"I think Su Fan-jun might not have understood my sincerity." Honda Yuji's smile faltered.

Su Fan said bluntly, "I understand perfectly well. Aren't you just trying to take advantage of the situation and profit from it? Sorry, I won't agree to that."

Honda Yuji's tone turned cold: "Do you know what the consequences will be if you reject me?"

Su Fan didn't care at all: "You don't need to tell me about any serious consequences. I'm not easily scared. If there's nothing else, please leave."

"By doing this, you will lose a powerful partner."

Su Fan scoffed, "You?"

Honda Yuji could naturally hear the contempt in those words, and his expression changed slightly, but he still forced himself to say, "I came with sincerity."

"That's perfect. With your sincerity, let's go together."

"you……"

Su Fan interrupted him: "Alright, stop spouting tough talk in front of me. If you've got the guts, then show me."

Honda Yuji stared at Su Fan, the resentment in his eyes almost impossible to conceal.

Su Fan returned the look without backing down, his eyes filled with undisguised disgust.

Suppressing his anger, Honda Yuji coldly said, "We're complete strangers, with no grudges against each other. You have an old saying, 'Business may end, but goodwill remains.' Yet I can sense your hostility. Why is that?"

"Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts," Su Fan said bluntly.

Upon hearing this, Honda Yuji was not angry at all; instead, he laughed: "I didn't expect Su Fan to be such a narrow-minded person."

Su Fan countered, "Fine, then let me ask you, which country does the Diaoyu Islands belong to?"

Honda Yuji's expression changed slightly, and he downplayed the issue, saying, "This involves historical issues, which I cannot comment on, but I don't think it will affect our cooperation."

"If you really want to cooperate with me, it's simple: go back to your country and publicly acknowledge in major media outlets that the Diaoyu Islands belong to China. If you can do that, then come and talk to me about cooperation."

Upon hearing this, Honda Yuji's feigned elegance completely crumbled, and he retorted sharply, "This is utterly unreasonable!"

Su Fan sneered: "How many times have you caused trouble on this land? Besides, everything I said is true, not a single word is exaggerated, it's just that you dare not admit it."

Honda Yuji stared intently at Su Fan, forcing out through gritted teeth, "Fine, very well, we'll see."

"Alright, stop talking tough to me. Goodbye, and don't bother coming back."

Honda Yuji snorted heavily, turned around with a flick of his sleeve, and walked away without looking back.
