A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

After Shen Fei left, Zheng Hao kept insisting on seeing Xu Nianjiao.

In fact, from the moment the affair was exposed, Xu Nianjiao had already planned to cut ties with Zheng Hao.

After all, keeping a useless piece will only lead to trouble.

But when she heard that Zheng Hao had something urgent to see her about, Xu Nianjiao said, "Fine, let's go see him one last time. It will be a perfect ending to this relationship."

When Xu Nianjiao appeared in the meeting room, Zheng Hao hurriedly said, "Jiaojiao, you've finally arrived."

"What do you want from me?"

"I've been set up; someone tricked me."

Xu Nianjiao thought he was talking about her, so she said, "I don't know what you're talking about?"

"It was Sun Zheng from Beifeng Entertainment who told Su Fan in advance that I was going to do something shady, which is why I was targeted."

Upon hearing this, Xu Nianjiao was also somewhat surprised: "You mean, they already knew you were going to take action against the company?"

"Yes, they already knew."

"You said Sun Zheng from Beifeng Entertainment told them, how did you know?"

"Shen Fei came to see me today; he told me himself..."

Xu Nianjiao listened quietly, her face expressionless, but her mind was already racing: "So that's how it is. No wonder Zheng Hao failed. They were prepared all along. I need to report this to my superiors immediately."

"Alright, I understand." Xu Nianjiao calmly collected herself, her tone indifferent. "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"Jiaojiao," Zheng Hao's eyes were filled with reluctance and anticipation, "Will...will you wait for me?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Nianjiao felt an urge to laugh.

A pawn that has been used up, even at this point, is still indulging in wishful thinking.

But she still managed to maintain the proper composure and gentleness on her face.

She lowered her eyes and said softly, "Brother Hao, some things are not a matter of waiting or not. Fate is a thing; when we meet, it's fate; when we part, it's destiny. Perhaps it was all destined that we would end up like this."

"What...what do you mean by that?"

"I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, she stood up, put on her high heels, and left without looking back.

Zheng Hao sat there blankly, feeling that Xu Nianjiao had abandoned him.

But he didn't want to admit it.

He called out to Xu Nianjiao's retreating figure, "Jiaojiao, you must wait for me. I'll marry you as soon as I get out..."

As soon as Xu Nianjiao left the police station, she immediately reported the news.

After hearing this, Honda Yuji said coldly, "It was him... It seems we were too lenient before."

"Should we take action against the guy surnamed Sun?" Sano Masaki asked.

"Isn't there someone over there who's always wanted to climb the ladder? Well, let's give him a hand."

Therefore, Honda Yuji secretly began to support another shareholder within Beifeng Entertainment who coveted Sun Zheng's position, providing him with resources and assistance both openly and covertly, with the sole intention of completely squeezing Sun Zheng out of Beifeng.

This is going to be tough on Sun Zheng.

For a time, he could only devote all his energy to dealing with the mess inside the company.

What Sun Zheng was completely unaware of was that the source of all this was precisely the result of Su Fan's manipulation behind the scenes.

Meanwhile, Su Fan was also busy during this time.

He originally planned to focus all his energy on creating the "Under One Person" comic.

That day, I suddenly received a call from Jiang Wenli.

Jiang Wenli's voice carried a hint of seriousness: "There's something I need to tell you. The National Day program team wants to commission you to create a song."

"Custom-made songs?"

"Yes, didn't you create a work like 'With Me' before? It had a high theme, a grand vision, and received a very good response. So this time, the program team specifically asked you to create a song about the theme of inheritance."

"Boss, you think too highly of me."

"Stop being so sentimental with me," Jiang Wenli said with a sullen laugh. "Let me tell you, if this matter is handled well, it will be of great significance to you."

"For example?"

"Compare you to me! Don't you understand the stakes involved? Do I have to spell it out for you?"

"I just wanted a definite answer from you."

Jiang Wenli instructed, "The production team will contact you later. Perform well. If you can get some screen time on the National Day stage, this step will make a big difference to your future. You know what I mean?"

Su Fan knew, of course, that this wasn't just about a song; it was an opportunity given to him by the authorities to move to a higher level.

"Yes, I understand. Please rest assured, I will complete the task!"

……

Soon, the National Day program crew came knocking on our door.

The person who came was a director from the program team named Deng Zongqi.

This is a veteran director who has been working in the industry for decades and has produced several large-scale galas. He is very experienced.

Upon seeing Su Fan, Deng Zongqi warmly grasped his hand: "Teacher Su Fan, it's an honor to meet you! I've wanted to get to know you for so long. I've listened to your songs 'With Me' and 'Outside the Temple' on repeat countless times. Well done, you're truly a promising young talent!"

Su Fan said politely, "Director Deng, you flatter me. You can just call me Xiao Fan. It's my honor that you came in person."

The two sat down, and Deng Zongqi didn't beat around the bush, directly stating his purpose: "I'll get straight to the point. This year's National Day theme is just two words: inheritance. But it's easier said than done. If it's too abstract, it's easy to just shout slogans; if it's too concrete, it won't stand up to scrutiny. To be honest, we selected many songs, but none of them met our expectations."

Su Fan asked, "Director Deng, I'd like to clarify the direction with you first. When you talk about inheritance, do you mean focusing on grand narratives of national righteousness, or do you mean embodying the perseverance passed down through generations through the lives of ordinary people?"

Deng Zongqi's eyes lit up: "The fact that you asked this question tells me that you've come to the right person! This is exactly what I want to talk to you about. We don't want that kind of grand but empty stuff. What we want is the kind of inheritance that can touch the softest part of people's hearts. It's a relay where this generation realizes the prosperous times that the previous generation couldn't see and the dreams that they couldn't achieve."

Based on Deng Zongqi's description, a song instantly came to Su Fan's mind.

That was a song on Earth that brought countless people to tears.

That's right, Su Fan was thinking of "As You Wish".

At this moment, Su Fan said, "Director Deng, do you mean that the dawn that our predecessors never saw should be seen by those who come after?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I mean!"

"Okay, I already have an idea in mind. I'll send it to you once I've finished the song."

"That's great, I'm relieved to hear that!"
