With just a few casual words, I've swept the music scene.

Guo Yafen was so excited that she couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Fan, thank you so much this time! How much do I need to pay for this song?"

Wang Ke laughed and said, "You are a well-known artist. It's my honor that you can sing my songs! Talking about money would be too formal."

Guo Yafen quickly shook her head.

How could she possibly accept Wang Ke's song for free?

This song is of extremely high quality and has a wonderful message; it can definitely become a representative work of her artistic career. Even if she is no longer here one day, this song will surely live on, and as long as the song remains, there will always be people who remember her!

So, do you think this song is valuable or not?

"How can that be?" Guo Yafen shook her head. "I can accept any other song, but I can't take this one for free!"

Wang Ke said, "How about this, you can help promote me within the circle of Chinese singers. If any teacher wants to commission a song, please introduce me to them."

“This isn’t really helping you at all,” Guo Yafen shook her head. “Yesterday, someone already asked me who wrote the song ‘My Hometown by the Sea’ for me. Once this song ‘Unforgettable Tonight’ is released, I believe many people will contact me and ask for your contact information. If I introduce you to them, that would be helping them, and they would owe me a favor!”

"Then you can consider this a favor you owe me, okay?" Wang Ke asked with a smile.

After thinking for a moment, Guo Yafen nodded and said, "Okay!"

After all, Flip Culture is a private company, and private companies inevitably encounter various problems and troubles in their operations.

As a high-ranking official, she might be able to use her position and status to help overturn the culture at certain times.

This kind of assistance cannot be simply measured in money!

Frankly speaking, if this were a transaction, Wang Ke would definitely be the one who benefited.

Guo Yafen naturally understood this, but she still agreed, which shows how much she valued and appreciated Wang Ke.

Seeing this, Deng Jinsheng was overjoyed and made sure to drink several cups of wine.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of Yuting Culture, Zhuo Tao was so angry that his nose was crooked.

"This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"

"When did he write a theme song for a documentary again?"

"Linhai TV is really something, they actually got Guo Yafen to sing this song?"

"The timing of this documentary's release is too coincidental, isn't it? Was it planned by them?"

The assistant asked nervously, "Mr. Zhuo, what's our next step?"

"What else can we do?" Zhuo Tao said irritably. "Those music critics aren't stupid. They know who they can bully and who they absolutely mustn't mess with!"

"So we're just going to leave it at that?" the assistant asked.

"What else can we do?" Zhuo Tao glared angrily.

The assistant was too frightened to utter a sound.

Zhuo Tao sulked there for a while, then said, "Let's put this on hold for now. We can't just keep fighting with the 'Revolutionary Culture,' we still need to get our own things sorted out first. I've already decided on the 'Strongest Newcomer King' finale—we won't use a pre-recorded format, we'll do a live broadcast! Go and make the arrangements."

"Okay." The assistant nodded and left.

Zhuo Tao stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the boundless city nightscape.

"Zhuo Tao, you need to calm down!"

"Your opponent shouldn't be Flip Culture, it shouldn't be Wang Ke!"

"Your journey is to the stars and the sea, your goal is to dominate the music scene, what is a mere Wang Ke compared to that?"

At that moment, an airplane streaked across the night sky, its red lights flashing. Zhuo Tao didn't know why, but he couldn't help but stare at it for a long time.

At that moment, Wang Ke was dozing off on the plane and only woke up after a long time when the plane landed.

Luo Jun was already waiting outside the airport to pick up Deng Jinsheng. After dropping Deng Jinsheng off, the two drove towards the company.

When Luo Jun asked about the outcome of the trip to the capital, Wang Ke opened up and told him a lot, which excited Luo Jun as well.

"If we could really get all these singers and artists to become our people, then who would dare to challenge our cultural revolution?"

“That’s right!” Wang Ke suddenly became interested and took out his phone to post a message on Weibo:

"You bunch of nobodies, what right do you have to talk to me about art? Trash! Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not referring to any one person as trash, but to all of you! What Flip Culture is going to do from now on is sweep all of you trash out of the music scene and restore a clear sky to the music world! If you're not happy, then speak up! If you are, then shut up!"

The moment this scarf was posted on Weibo, the internet exploded.

"Fan Zong replied! Fan Zong finally replied!"

"Wow, he really lives up to his reputation as CEO Fan. He started cursing right away. He's really brave!"

"If the singers under his management are all so talented, how could he himself be any less so?"

"This is a direct confrontation! Let's see how the music critics respond!"

"Reply? Do they dare?"

Sure enough, three days after Wang Ke posted on Weibo, the internet remained completely silent; not a single person replied. It was as if the music critics had vanished into thin air. No matter how many comments netizens left on their Weibo accounts, urging them to say something, they remained completely silent!

"They chickened out, all these music critics chickened out!"

"Of course we have to back down. No matter how powerful Fanfu Culture is, it's still a private company. They can't just criticize it however they want. But who is Teacher Guo? He's the vice chairman of the Music Association! Do they dare to say a word?"

"Exactly! If they dare to speak out, they won't be able to make a living in the music industry!"

"But if they don't reply, wouldn't that mean they've given in?"

"Hahaha! Boss Fan is awesome! That was so satisfying!"

"What Boss Fan said is right, these people are just a bunch of trash!"

"Keep it up, Mr. Fan! Sweep this garbage out of the music scene as soon as possible and give us, the fans, a clear sky again!"

For a time, almost everyone online was condemning them, calling these music critics utterly despicable.

Of course, some online trolls and haters from Yuting Culture came out to support them, but ultimately they couldn't stop the overwhelming trend. Their words of defense were all empty and powerless, and were quickly drowned out by the flow of information.

Some netizens, knowing that these music critics were backed by Yuting Culture, went to Yuting Culture's Weibo account to petition:

"Take our people for example, they were insulted by the 'Flip Culture' group. Can we stand up for them? After all, they're not just doing this for no reason; they're trying to protect our interests!"

"Shouldn't you guys have some kind of stance? Your people were making such a fuss about accusing Fan Zong of plagiarism before! Why are you silent now? Did Fan Zong plagiarize or not? If he did, provide evidence; if he didn't, shouldn't you apologize?"

Yuting Culture, of course, didn't reply, so everyone went to Xu Chen's Weibo:

"There are indeed many shameless people in this world, and I've seen them with my own eyes, but to be honest, I've never seen anyone as shameless as you!"

"Go ahead and keep arguing, keep saying it's plagiarism? And then tell us, which of your songs did the song 'My Hometown by the Sea' plagiarize?"

"Xu Chen, stop playing dumb! Come out here and explain yourself!"

Will Xu Chen dare to respond?

He wouldn't dare even if he had a thousand lives!
