A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

Everyone was taken aback by Ma Yuesong's suggestion at first, but then they immediately understood and the meeting room erupted in a buzz.

"Brilliant! This method is ingenious!"

"Exactly! If the traditional Chinese style community can do this, why can't we? This is called following suit, and it's legal and compliant!"

"The key is that Su Fan's opera singing skills are genuine. If he sings, we are convinced, and netizens are convinced too. This reason is completely valid!"

"Moreover, Su Fan singing it herself generates more buzz than having any other celebrity sing it—it's a win-win situation!"

……

Just as everyone was excited about this ingenious idea, someone timidly raised a question: "Isn't what we're doing a little undignified?"

Before Ma Yuesong could even speak, the person next to him snapped, "Do you want your song or your reputation? Answer me! Look in my eyes!"

The man trembled at the shout and immediately cowered, pleading, "I want the song, I want the song, I want the song!"

Ma Yuesong surveyed the room with satisfaction, then made the final decision: "Since everyone has no objections, let's proceed this way. From now on, the association will focus all its efforts on this matter, mobilizing all available resources, even if it means spending money, to get this trending on social media!"

Without hesitation, the opera association mobilized its resources that very day.

Local theater troupes, opera schools, and amateur opera communities all mobilized and flocked to NetEase Cloud Music to vote for the opera genre and the singer Su Fan.

Netizens across the country burst out laughing when they saw the commotion caused by the opera association.

"Hahahaha... No, the traditional Chinese style circle just finished using this trick, and the opera association immediately copied it without even changing the format. You guys must have graduated from the same cram school!"

"Hilarious! The current situation is like all sorts of celebrities are fighting tooth and nail for a song, and then both sides flip the table one after the other, saying, 'We don't want you to sing, we want Su Fan to sing it himself!'"

"Su Fan's current situation: He organized an event where he wrote songs for others, but ended up singing the first song himself, and it looks like he'll have to sing the second one too. He's definitely the most miserable event organizer on the entire internet!"

"When others organize events, they're giving away freebies; when Su Fan organizes events, he's assigning himself homework, and the homework keeps piling up!"

"My family, I'm truly grateful. We worked so hard on voting for a week, and first the traditional Chinese style community hijacked our efforts, then the opera association flipped the table! Are they trying to kill us all?!"

"I already have a feeling that if this trend continues, the second song will still be by Su Fan, then Su Fan will have to add another one, and then the third song will also be by him, an endless nesting of songs. In the end, the event might as well be renamed the Su Fan Solo New Song Release Conference!"

"I voted! I voted! Not for anything else, just to see Su Fan's expression when he sees the voting results. It'll be quite a sight!"

……

The artists and their entertainment companies were completely stunned when they saw this news.

To be honest, they spared no effort in getting Su Fan's song and in order to establish a relationship with him.

They bought trending topics, held live streams, and mobilized fans to vote day and night, throwing away promotional budgets like they were free.

But now, the opera association's actions have completely stolen the spotlight.

What's even more infuriating is that netizens are all eager to watch the drama unfold.

People who were initially inclined to vote for the various celebrities suddenly switched sides and cast their votes for the Chinese Opera Association.

The reason given was particularly self-righteous: "Sorry, this time I choose Su Fan!"

Those celebrities and their entertainment companies watched helplessly as their votes were overtaken, and they were heartbroken.

When Su Fan saw the commotion online, he felt a sense of being watched.

He couldn't help but complain: "Originally, they were promoting NetEase Cloud Music and finding some useful people, but they ended up getting all the benefits for themselves! What kind of nonsense is this?!"

He put down his phone, called Ma Xiaoya over, and asked, "Your dad... he's quite the entertainer!"

Ma Xiaoya said awkwardly, "Maybe...maybe they have some expert guidance in their workplace."

"Are you sure this wasn't Mr. Ma's doing?"

Ma Xiaoya quickly denied it: "How could that be? Don't you know my dad's head?"

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, my dad doesn't have that kind of brain. If he really had that kind of shrewdness, he would have been doing very well by now. Why would he have been stuck in the association for so many years?"

"How dare you talk about your father like that?"

"I'm telling the truth. If it weren't for me, how could this have happened..."

Halfway through her sentence, Ma Xiaoya suddenly realized something and quickly changed her words: "How could I possibly be living such a happy life?"

"You mean, your father is becoming complacent because of you?"

"Oh, don't worry about the details. I have something to do, so I'll go now."

……

After Ma Xiaoya left, Su Fan muttered, "What kind of mess is this?!"

He decided to ignore the outside voting and let things take their course.

Shen Fei looked at the online poll, shocked, but the smile on his lips was harder to suppress than an AK.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "A second goal! Could he go for a hat trick?!"

Su Fan had little to do these past few days, spending his time with his master and senior brothers, and occasionally visiting Ye Yao at the hospital. His days were quite relaxed.

That day, Xu Xingzhi found him and said, "I asked the dean about the matter you asked me to inquire about last time. Have your sister and brother-in-law organize the information and submit it there."

Upon hearing this, Su Fan's eyes lit up: "Second Senior Brother, you're amazing!"

"Basic procedures, don't overdo it."

"Second Brother Pig, you've been spending a lot of time online lately, haven't you? You even know all these trendy slang terms now."

"I call this keeping up with the times."

"I'm really curious, one day when you're performing surgery on a patient, will you suddenly say, 'The surgery was a success, but the patient wasn't cooperating'?"

Xu Xingzhi's face hardened: "Don't joke around with patients."

"Okay, I was wrong. I'll go call my sister first."

……

Su Fan called Yuan Shanshan.

"Sister Shan, I have something to tell you. You and your future brother-in-law should prepare the documents and submit them to the military hospital."

Yuan Shanshan looked completely bewildered: "What do you mean?"

"My second senior brother has found you a job. Just submit the documents first, and then follow the hospital's instructions for the rest of the process."

The person on the other end of the phone exploded: "Holy crap! What kind of sect are you from? Do you have that much power?"

"Basic procedures, don't overdo it."

"Does your master need any more apprentices? Maybe I should become your master's apprentice too!"

"If you come, you'll become my junior sister."

"screw you!"

……

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Shanshan immediately told Xiao Ran the news.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran also looked incredulous: "Just what is the background of your brother's sect?"

"How would I know? Let's go and see first."

Soon, the two took the documents to the military hospital.

To be honest, even after they reached the hospital entrance, the two were still in a daze and couldn't believe it was real.

You should know that Xiao Ran's family has been trying to use their connections to get him transferred from a private hospital to a public hospital for years.

But all I wanted was to get into a regular public hospital; I never even dared to dream of a military hospital.

It's like spending two dollars on a lottery ticket, hoping to win ten thousand dollars and be content, but then you find out you've won five million.

The excitement was almost unreal.
