After spending three days in Shanghai, Fang Yang recorded the official version of "The Lone Warrior" and uploaded it to the music section. It was downloaded by eager fans immediately. However, to Fang Yang's surprise, the most popular and widely enjoyed version was still by elementary school students!
Throughout Shanghai, you can hear little kids waving tree branches and singing "The Lone Warrior" everywhere you go. This has shocked the entire music industry. It's unbelievable!
In Fang Yang's view, this was both unexpected and reasonable. He had experienced all of this in his previous life, and this life would be much the same, although there would be some differences. History always has surprising similarities.
It's like one day you're walking in a strange city. Even though it's your first time there, at some point, you feel like you've been there before, as if you've traveled through time. At that moment, you can recognize all the buildings around you with your eyes closed, even though they still feel unfamiliar when you open them!
In his past life, Fang Yang encountered a funny scene. One day, Fang Yang had a cold and went to the hospital to get an IV drip. There was a little boy of five or six years old next to him. When he saw the nurse coming with the needle, he started crying loudly. No matter how his parents tried to coax him, he refused to give in. Just when everyone was at a loss, the nurse's cell phone rang. The ringtone was "The Lone Warrior"!
What's both funny and sad is that the little boy immediately stopped crying as soon as he heard "The Lone Warrior" and started humming along softly. The nurse, who had just realized what was happening, immediately put an IV drip on the little boy, who was completely absorbed in the song and didn't even notice.
This surprised Fang Yang. He later learned that the song "The Lone Warrior" had unknowingly become a hit among elementary school students. Whether bullying others or being bullied, they would hum this song to cheer themselves up.
In this life, Fang Yang may or may not experience the injection incident, but he will be just as popular with the children. Perhaps this is just as the saying goes: no matter which time and space you are in, history always repeats itself in an amazing way. It does not change according to human consciousness. In the dark, everything is already predetermined!
Compared to before, Fang Yang's popularity has increased significantly. Moreover, Yuewen Entertainment Media is now sharing resources with several major music websites. His song "The Lone Warrior" was released online immediately and was downloaded more than 300 million times in just three days, breaking a new record. This surprised Fang Yang, who realized that his influence still had potential to be explored!
Although China boasts over 700 million netizens, there are many who don't listen to music. Some like playing games, watching short videos, live streams, or binge-watching dramas, while others are simply keyboard warriors who enjoy wielding their keyboards online as if they own the world.
So, the fact that he was able to get more than 300 million downloads really surprised Fang Yang. Did this mean he had unlocked new netizens?
After receiving Fang Yang's call, Fang Hai rushed to Shanghai the next day, accompanied by two strong-looking companions. Judging from their fierce aura, they were most likely his comrades who were discharged from the army in the same batch as him!
"Xiao Yang, it's been a long time!"
Fang Hai gave Fang Yang a bear hug as soon as he saw him. Seven or eight months had passed, and Fang Hai, who had been waiting impatiently, finally received Fang Yang's call. He immediately called his two closest comrades and boarded the high-speed train to Shanghai, because Fang Yang said he would be going out in a couple of days and needed people at that time.
"Brother, you must be getting impatient. I'm really sorry, the construction of the West Lake City headquarters is being done at a lot of extra speed, and your camp hasn't been completed yet, so I haven't been able to call you!"
"What are you saying? Anyway, I haven't been home for so many years, so it's a good opportunity to do more things for the family and also keep the old man company."
"How are Grandpa and Grandma? Have you harvested all the crops?"
"What time is it now? It must have all been harvested by now. The weather has been good lately, and the late rice has all been dried and stored. The old man and his wife are both in good health. They even asked me to bring some dried seafood when they came, which is all in the car!"
Fang Yang swallowed hard when he heard that they had brought dried seafood. "I'll make something to eat when I get home tonight. You guys come home with me for the next couple of days. After we finish this, we'll go to Xihu City and get the security department's license sorted out."
Fang Hai put his arms around a comrade-in-arms on each side and introduced them to Fang Yang, "Xiao Yang, these two are my comrades-in-arms. This is Su Cheng, and this is Bai Mo. The three of us are from the same city, which is why we were able to come over together as soon as possible."
"Hello," Fang Yang greeted the two with a smile, inviting the three of them to sit down and have some tea. "The Golden Rooster Awards ceremony will start in a few days. Our company has received several nominations, so we have to go. You know what happened in Guangzhou a few days ago, right? So to avoid the same thing happening again, I called you over in advance. You can come with us then."
Fang Hai asked worriedly, "I only found out about that the next day. Is there any progress now?"
"We've identified the main suspects, but it's not appropriate for us to get involved directly. Someone else will handle this. We called you over as a precaution. Also, the database construction in Xihu City will enter a critical phase after the New Year, and security will be on duty then. You should get the basics in order so you can get up to speed quickly."
"Don't worry, Xiao Yang. Although only a dozen or so people in our company are being demobilized this time, quite a few were demobilized in previous years. We all know each other well and have good relationships. Although some of them have gone to work in the unit, many are still farming at home. I'll call them all over when the time comes, and we'll definitely be able to defend headquarters like a fortress!"
Fang Hai patted his chest loudly. He dared not speak for anything else, but when it came to his own area of expertise, he was an expert. He would bring the entire headquarters under surveillance, and with the help of a few people patrolling constantly, even a fly could find a place to land immediately.
“We had an agreement with the Xihu Municipal Government to try our best to meet the resettlement needs of demobilized soldiers within the Xihu City area. After you have built the basic model, you can coordinate with the relevant departments to select the best candidates.”
Fang Yang recalled his promise to the West Lake Municipal Government and couldn't help but remind Fang Hai, "The entire security department will need about a thousand people. If there aren't enough people, we can recruit from the public. If we put them in the amusement park, the impact won't be too great."
Fang Hai laughed and said, "That's no problem. Even a worm can be turned into a dragon after our special training."
Fang Yang pondered for a moment, "We should hire a group of security guards who can speak English to work at the amusement park. After all, if there are foreign tourists visiting, they may need to ask for directions, and those who can speak English will be given priority."
Fang Hai and Su Chengbai smiled at each other. "Xiao Yang, I'm afraid you don't know this yet, but for us reconnaissance soldiers, being able to speak and write English is the most basic requirement. It would be a piece of cake to assign each squad leader to be a reconnaissance soldier."
This was the first time Fang Yang had heard of this. He hadn't expected the military to have such high requirements. But this was just right, otherwise it would have been quite difficult to recruit a group of college students to work as security guards.
