A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

Upon hearing this, Su Fan gave Liu Ruyan a meaningful look and slowly said, "It really is... the most important thing during pregnancy."

Su Fan swallowed back what he wanted to say and uttered a polite remark.

No one thought much of it, taking it as just ordinary concern.

Zhang Lingyuan, who was standing to the side, also glanced at Liu Ruyan and slowly added, "In this life, it is easy to utter falsehoods, but difficult to expiate the karmic consequences."

The Ye family members were completely bewildered, exchanging bewildered glances, utterly clueless about what it meant.

Liu Ruyan, however, seemed to understand the meaning behind his words. Her expression changed slightly, and she lowered her eyes, not daring to meet his gaze.

At this moment, Ye Beichen changed the subject: "Daoist Master, how much longer until Xiao Yao wakes up?"

Zhang Lingyuan countered, "Last time she reacted, did you say something to her?"

Ye Yun replied, "I played Su Fan's recent song 'The Warden.' The first time I played it, her finger moved slightly, and I thought I was seeing things, so I played it again to make sure I wasn't mistaken."

Zhang Lingyuan nodded: "Now that we've found the direction, let's proceed in this manner."

Ye Yun looked puzzled: "But I've been playing music for her these past two days, and she hasn't responded at all."

"It could be the song's fault," Zhang Lingyuan said.

"When I played that song again later, she didn't react at all."

Zhang Lingyuan thought for a moment and said, "There are many reasons. Maybe it's a coincidence, or maybe she just likes listening to new songs."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell on Su Fan.

Su Fan rubbed his nose helplessly: "Alright, if this method really works, I'll release another new song and give it a try."

The Ye family members thanked them sincerely, saying, "Then we'll have to trouble you."

……

After leaving the hospital, Su Fan returned to the company and sat alone in his office, muttering to himself, "Perfect timing, the voting results for another song are out too. This time it's opera. Which one should I sing?"

He leaned back in his chair, pondered for a while, then suddenly sat up straight and made his decision: "This is it!"

So, Su Fan turned on his computer and typed three words.

"Bring in the Wine"

That's right, what Su Fan is going to bring out this time is Li Bai's timeless masterpiece, "Bring in the Wine".

On Earth, Prince and Zhang Yiping re-composed the poem into a Peking Opera version.

After organizing the lyrics, music, and arrangement, Su Fan got up and went to the recording studio.

Upon seeing this, the others reflexively dropped what they were doing and followed without thinking.

Su Fan glanced back at the people behind him and said, "Advance viewing will cost money."

Ma Xiaoya immediately replied, "I'll become a member."

Su Fan said, "Regular members only have the right to watch on demand, not the right to watch in advance. If you want to watch in advance, you have to upgrade to a diamond member."

Ma Xiaoya looked speechless: "Why are you using the same tactics as those other video websites?"

He Xiaoxiao, standing to the side, immediately said, "Give me a monthly subscription, no, a yearly subscription!"

Su Fan remarked with a sigh, "It seems those video websites have really trained you all very well."

After saying that, he went into the recording studio.

He Xiaoxiao blinked and asked, "What does he mean?"

Xu Meng said quietly, "He means that we've been manipulated."

Ma Xiaoya waved her hand: "Stop worrying about it, let's listen to the song!"

So everyone skillfully gathered around the listening headphones and took their positions.

In the recording studio, Su Fan began to sing.

The Peking Opera version of "Bring in the Wine".

"Have you not seen the Yellow River's waters come down from the sky..."

As soon as the song was sung, everyone outside was completely dumbfounded.

Everyone knows that Su Fan can sing opera, but that's just singing a short segment in a song, which is just the finishing touch.

This time, the entire song, from beginning to end, was sung in the authentic style of Peking Opera.

That voice, at its highest pitch it was like tearing silk through the clouds, at its lowest it was like the mellow richness of aged wine.

These people outside have been shocked before.

This time, however, there was an added sense of awe amidst the shock.

Ma Xiaoya kept her mouth open and didn't move the entire time.

As soon as Su Fan came out of the recording studio, Ma Xiaoya was the first to rush forward, bowing deeply and respectfully: "Master Su, do you accept disciples?"

"Your father is an expert in this field; you've chosen the wrong person to consult."

"He's outdated. You will eventually become the leader in this industry."

"If Old Ma heard this, he would be heartbroken."

"Compared to me bringing him a master back home, his sadness is nothing more than tears of joy."

"I give up!"

After saying that, Su Fan left without looking back.

Ma Xiaoya persisted, asking, "So? Are you going to take on an apprentice or not? I'll go prepare the apprenticeship ceremony right away!"

"No, we won't accept it."

Why?

"I'm busy."

After saying that, Su Fan quickened his pace and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Only Ma Xiaoya remained standing there, stubbornly shouting at his retreating back, "Then I'll come back when you have time!"

No sooner had Su Fan left than Ma Xiaoya called Ma Yuesong.

As soon as the call connected, Ma Xiaoya got straight to the point: "Old Ma, Su Fan's new song is out."

"How's the skill level?"

"Quickly use all your resources to promote this song!"

Ma Yuesong was taken aback: "You mean...?"

"Listen to me, hurry up! This song—no, this Peking Opera—will be the masterpiece that will completely turn the Chinese Opera Association around!"

"Is it really that good?" Ma Yuesong asked with skepticism.

"It's not just good, it's absolutely amazing!"

Ma Yuesong's tone became serious: "Daughter, tell me the truth. I know Su Fan is very skilled, but this is traditional opera, and a newly created one at that. How popular do you think it will be?"

"It's at least three or four stories high!"

"Then hurry up and give me the song, I want to listen to it first."

"Early access viewing will incur a fee."

Ma Yuesong was bewildered: "What do you mean?"

"I've got my eye on a bag..."

"Buy, buy, buy!" Ma Yuesong agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll go get it for you right away."

So Ma Xiaoya found Su Fan and told him about the opera association's desire to help promote the song.

Su Fan nodded: "Okay, I'll give you the sample first, and let Old Ma and the others give their feedback."

As soon as Ma Xiaoya received the sample, she sent it to Ma Yuesong.

At this moment, everyone at the opera association, upon hearing that Su Fan's new song demo had arrived, swarmed around him.

Ma Yuesong cleared his throat: "Quiet down, everyone, let's listen together!"

The intro started playing from the speakers.

This is followed by: "Have you not seen the Yellow River's waters come down from the sky..."

The first sentence rang out, and the conference room fell silent instantly.

Everyone was stunned.

Next, everyone listened to the whole song while maintaining their original posture.

The entire performance was sung in the style of Peking Opera.

It wasn't the pop song they envisioned, punctuated with a couple of lines of traditional opera.

It is a complete, well-structured, and clearly pronounced Peking Opera piece.
