Wang Jin smiled and said, "Does the old principal also have a favor to ask?"

Fang Yang waved his hand: "As long as the old principal invites me, I will definitely do what I can, and I will try my best to do what I can't."

Wang Jin smiled and said, "It's not a difficult thing. You just need to give a lecture at the Central Conservatory of Music at least once every semester. You can decide the course content yourself."

Fang Yang laughed and said, "No problem!"

After finishing their business, Fang Yang took the two men on a tour of the various departments. When they arrived at the recording studio, they were intrigued by the bustling activity.

Fang Yang introduced, "This is a recording studio under construction, built to the highest standards in the industry. The company will be recruiting singers in the future, and we have excellent resources for mentors in this field. Could you please introduce us?"

Wang Jin was particularly interested and said with a smile, "Do you have any requirements? You have so many junior brothers and sisters, you have a lot of room to choose from."

Fang Yang smiled and said, "The main requirements are solid singing skills, a distinctive voice, and a wide vocal range. For girls, those who can sing three eights will be given priority."

Wang Jin pointed at Fang Yang and said, "Your requirements are exceptionally high. Very few graduates from the Central Conservatory of Music each year can meet your standards!"

Fang Yang smiled helplessly: "My family is just a small one, so all we can do is create stars. We can only strive for excellence. Right now, the most important thing is to recruit a skilled band as my professional music composition team."

Wang Jin's eyes lit up. "I can introduce you to someone. One of my senior classmates founded the Kyoto Black Panther Band. They're all top-notch in the industry, but they're getting a bit older now and can't keep up with the commercial performances anymore. So they're looking for a more stable job to take care of their families. If you're interested, I'll call them and we can discuss it."

Fang Yang was overjoyed. "Mentor, then call them. I don't always need to compose music. They can come whenever I need them. Their salaries will be the highest in the industry. I will definitely not treat them unfairly."

The three returned to the office. Wang went in to call his senior, while Zhao Liang chatted with Fang Yang about the recent situations of the other classmates. Most of them had gone to various universities to become teachers, a few had signed contracts with entertainment companies to become trainees, and a few, like Zhao Liang, were preparing for postgraduate entrance exams. In short, Fang Yang was probably the most successful right now.

Fang Yang also frankly talked about his recent situation, mentioning the embarrassing situation when he only had 100,000 yuan in his account, his current situation, and some future plans. When Wang Jin, who had called back, heard Fang Yang's plans, he was a little surprised. These plans were quite ambitious. If they were to be realized, there might not be a single entertainment company that could compete with them!

That evening, the three of them didn't go to a restaurant for dinner. Instead, they bought a lot of materials and went to Fang Yang's villa. Looking at the beautiful seaside scenery, Wang Jin and Zhang Liang were filled with envy. Living in Kyoto, they couldn't have such a good view. No matter how rich they were, they could only live by an artificial lake. Kyoto wasn't by the sea!

The three sat on the rooftop, listening to the crashing waves and chatting. "Xiao Yang, this rooftop is the West Tower you wrote about in your poem 'Joyful Reunion'!" Wang Jin said, looking at the surrounding scenery.

"Yes," Fang Yang said, gazing at the rolling waves in the distance. "I wasn't in a good mood at the time, and after climbing to the rooftop, I was moved to write that poem."

As Zhao Liang gazed at the setting sun, its rays shimmering on the sea, creating a breathtaking scene, he smiled and said to Fang Yang, "Yangzi, looking at this magnificent view, how about composing a poem? Maybe I'll become famous for this poem!"

As the sun set, Fang Yang recalled Li Shangyin's famous poem and recited: "My joy subsided as evening approached, so I strolled to the Bund. The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is nearing dusk."

After reciting the poem, he saw Wang Jin and Zhao Liang staring at him blankly, and couldn't help but laugh and say, "I'm sharing 'A Record of Climbing the Bund' with my friends Wang Jin and Zhao Liang."

Zhao Liang cheered, got up, and grabbed Fang Yang as they went downstairs. "Brother, hurry up and write this down, then post it on the website. Today, I'm going to be famous for all time!"

Looking at Zhao Liang's massive, bear-like arms, Fang Yang had no choice but to lead Wang Jin and Zhao Liang to the study. He ground ink and wrote a poem. After the poem was finished and uploaded to the website, it was immediately taken away by Wang Jin, who claimed he wanted to take it back to frame and hang it in the study as a memento. He also took the previous poem, "Joy of Meeting," which the principal had specifically requested!

Zhao Liang was slow to react. He only realized what was happening after Wang Jin took the calligraphy away. He begged Fang Yang to write another one. Fang Yang couldn't resist Zhao Liang's cuteness. Seeing this giant of cuteness, he felt a surge of emotion and had no choice but to write another one to get rid of the silly Zhao Liang.

That evening, the three of them enjoyed barbecue and beer on the rooftop. Zhao Liang was a complete glutton, and all the barbecue was prepared by Wang Jin and Fang Yang. Knowing that Zhao Liang had a big appetite, Fang Yang even bought a whole roasted lamb to satisfy him.

At 10 p.m., Wang Jin and Fang Yang helped the completely drunk Zhao Liang into a guest room to sleep. Fang Yang was speechless. This guy was both a poor drinker and a heavy drinker. He got so drunk after only six bottles of beer. After arranging for Wang Jin to go to another guest room, Fang Yang went to the study. He had to finish the comic he had been putting off today, otherwise he would have to stop updating tomorrow.

At three in the morning, when Wang Jin got up to drink water because he was thirsty, he saw Fang Yang still busy in the study and couldn't help but feel heartbroken. Indeed, there is no easy way on the road to success.

Entering the study, she saw Fang Yang coloring the last comic strip and couldn't help but feel sorry for him, saying, "Do you work like this every day? This won't do. You need to balance work and rest and take a proper break."

Fang Yang smiled as Wang Jin entered and said, "Is Professor having trouble sleeping? I'm fine. I get plenty of sleep every noon and evening, and I can concentrate better and work faster at night. Anyway, it's finished now!"

Wang Jin shook his head, not exposing Fang Yang's lie. It was clearly his and Zhao Liang's arrival that interrupted Fang Yang's work plan, which was why he was working until midnight. "I was a little thirsty from eating barbecue tonight, so I got up to drink some water. Once I'm done, I'll go to sleep quickly. I need to go to sleep too."

When Fang Yang came downstairs the next day, Wang Jin was already leisurely drinking tea in the living room. Seeing Fang Yang come downstairs, Wang Jin smiled and said, "There's porridge in the pot and steamed buns in the insulated box. Have some!"

Fang Yang was a little embarrassed. "My supervisor came to my house, and I had to ask him to do things for me. I'm really sorry."

Wang Jin waved his hand, "Hurry up and eat. I don't get up earlier than you young people, so I made breakfast while I was at it."

Fang Yang nodded, went to the restaurant for breakfast, then went to the study to upload and save yesterday's comic, planned to release it at noon, and then went downstairs to chat with Wang Jin.

At noon, Fang Yang arranged a sumptuous and delicious river seafood feast at Zhenxing Restaurant. Zhao Liang ate with gusto, exclaiming that the trip was worthwhile and that the food in Shanghai was incredibly tasty. Unfortunately, Wang Jin had urgent business to attend to and dragged Zhao Liang, who had originally planned to stay in Shanghai for a while, along with him, leaving Zhao Liang feeling quite frustrated. However, power doesn't always buy decisions. Wang Jin used the excuse that Zhao Liang needed to prepare for his postgraduate entrance exam, leaving Zhao Liang speechless. Dejected, Zhao Liang followed Wang Jin back to Beijing.
