My Website Is About to Go Bankrupt

Fang Yang, a struggling bar singer, soul-transferred into a parallel universe where he inherited a dying website and a music academy, graduating from a student who lost both parents. He revived th...

Chapter 189, /.

Hu Xiaobo sat listlessly in his office. He and a few college classmates had started this advertising company right after graduation, but after three years, they hadn't made much money, and their friendship had come to an end. This morning, all three of them dumped all the company's debts on Hu Xiaobo, the legal representative of the company, and demanded to withdraw their entire investment. Hu Xiaobo was no match for the three of them, so he had no choice but to take on all the debts.

With little money left in his account and the initial investment of one million yuan gone, Hu Xiaobo slapped himself hard. He blamed himself for trusting a villain and partnering with three good-for-nothing spendthrifts who did nothing but enjoy themselves to start a company. Now the company was facing bankruptcy, and he had to bear all the consequences alone.

Thinking about the company's current situation, Hu Xiaobo felt utterly hopeless. The rent was due next month, and if the company didn't get any business, closing down would be the only option. There were still employee salaries to pay. Looking at the three anxious employees outside the door, who had worked diligently for the company for three years, Hu Xiaobo felt helpless. He decided to listen to some music to recharge and see if he could find that old business contact to get a single order to get through the crisis.

I remember someone recommended a song in our class group chat earlier, so I thought I'd give it a listen! Hu Xiaobo opened the group chat, found the recommended link, clicked it, and... huh? I have to download it? A new website? Hu Xiaobo hesitated for a moment, then thought, "Oh well, I've got nothing else to do, so I'll download it and give it a try!"

After following the instructions, Hu Xiaobo registered an account. Hmm? Yuewen Entertainment Media, is this a comprehensive website? I've never heard of it! I've been fighting with those three scumbags lately, and I've been completely cut off from information. I don't even know when a new entertainment website opened up. The page looks well-organized, with few ads, very clean and refreshing. Hu Xiaobo really likes this feeling.

The homepage featured a huge advertisement for "I Am a Wolf from the North," showing that the website valued the song or the singer highly. Following the advertisement's instructions, Hu Xiaobo clicked on the music section. Huh? According to the advertisement, the song had only been released for two hours, yet it already had millions of listens and downloads. He had never heard of this singer named Fang Yang before, and yet his download count was comparable to that of a top-tier singer.

Hu Xiaobo was surprised. He clicked to listen, and after a soothing piano melody, Fang Yang's clear singing voice came through, instantly capturing Hu Xiaobo's heart. Wasn't this singing about his own heart? He was that lone wolf searching for the legendary beautiful grassland!

Hu Xiaobo burst into tears. For the past three years, he had worked hard to establish his company in this dazzling city, but he never expected to be betrayed by three classmates who took advantage of his success, leaving him with a mess to clean up. Thinking of the bitterness of the past three years, he felt extremely sad.

After listening to the song, Hu Xiaobo immediately paid to download it. If he didn't support such a good song, what song would be worth supporting? After downloading it, Hu Xiaobo still felt unsatisfied and kept recommending it to his friends and classmates. Good songs need to be shared.

After finishing all that, Hu Xiaobo watched another song, "Sailor," composed, written, and sung by Fang Yang. After listening to it once, Hu Xiaobo felt completely revitalized. He immediately continued downloading, then picked up the phone and called his former clients, determined to revive the company. "I am that wolf searching alone for the legendary beautiful grassland," he said. "What is this little pain in the face of wind and rain? Wipe away your tears, don't be afraid, at least we still have dreams!"

Professor Chen from the Central Conservatory of Music was very happy today. His former student, Chen Qing, had been promoted to a first-class singer a few days ago. Today, Chen Qing specially came over to treat Professor Chen to a meal to thank him and also gave Professor Chen two jars of his favorite pre-rain Longjing tea. Professor Chen was overjoyed and praised Chen Qing for being sensible, saying that Professor Chen's hard work in teaching him had paid off.

After having a few drinks, Professor Chen, being of advanced age, felt a bit groggy after his midday nap. So he brewed himself a cup of pre-rain Longjing tea and sat down at his computer to listen to some music. Professor Chen has always had a habit of listening to music, and when he hears a good song, he will share it with his students, analyze its essence, and give an analytical lesson.

This afternoon, someone recommended Fang Yang's new song in the teachers' group. It was recommended by Fang Yang's mentor, Wang Jin. Professor Chen is quite envious of Wang Jin, who has produced such an all-around talent as Fang Yang, who has now been promoted to a special lecturer and has a bright future. As a result, Wang Jin has also gained some influence in the school because of his protégé.

Opening the Yuewen Entertainment website, the homepage is full of highly recommended songs. The Yuewen Entertainment website is supported by Fang Yang's works alone, and all of Fang Yang's works are highly recommended. Professor Chen agrees with this point and also sighs, "This kid is not simple!"

"I Am a Wolf from the North"—the song title is quite straightforward. The lyrics, music, and vocals are all by Fang Yang, his usual formula. The intro begins with a melodious piano sound, interspersed with other instrumental sounds, which is very catchy. Professor Chen listened quietly. The lyrics are very simple, just a few repeated lines, but they have a kind of inspiring feeling. The greatest truths are the simplest, Professor Chen exclaimed!

After listening to the song, Professor Chen downloaded it and analyzed it slowly. Although the song was simple and used a slow 4/4 time signature, it used a lot of instruments, which unexpectedly created a sense of harmony. It was clear that the composer was very skilled, and the accompanists were all experts. This level of skill is difficult to achieve with computer composition. After checking, he found that it was composed by the Black Panther Band, which explained it!

Professor Chen knows the Black Panther Band very well. They were also outstanding graduates of the Central Conservatory of Music. Back then, Professor Chen had just started teaching at the Central Conservatory of Music and was still a newbie. The Black Panther Band first showed their talent at the school and had a smooth career after entering society. They were very popular for a long time. In recent years, they have declined a bit, produced fewer works, and gradually fallen behind in the mainstream music market. But their level is still quite high. To be honest, it is a bit of a waste of their talents to accompany Fang Yang.

After listening to it five or six times, Professor Chen couldn't help but write on his blog, word by word: "The greatest truths are the simplest, and the greatest sounds are the most subtle! Today, listening to Fang Yang's song 'I Am a Wolf from the North' was very insightful. This song uses the simplest 4/4 time signature and just a few lines of lyrics to express intense life insights. This is much better than the lyrics piled up with fancy words that are popular today. It is concise yet profound! The entire score uses 23 instruments, but they are blended together to create a transcendent beauty! Whether it is the lyrics or the music, 'I Am a Wolf from the North' is a rare masterpiece in recent times. I hope that Fang Yang can continue his efforts and write even better songs. As your teacher, I am proud of you!"
