"The contract has been signed. The client is very satisfied with the work and has added an extra 500,000 yuan bonus."
"The manager in charge of signing off on this matter keeps saying he wants to see you, but unfortunately you're not at the company."
"The client also said that they would prioritize working with our company for future customized projects."
"Lin Rui, thanks to you, President Zhou was able to connect with the government, which will greatly promote the company's future development."
"So, President Zhou made the decision on the spot to reward you with 500,000 yuan, bringing the total bonus to one million yuan. The finance department has already been notified to transfer the money, and you will receive it soon."
Chen Tianye's tone was not without excitement, but ultimately he was an artist and not very interested in the ins and outs of business.
"That's great." Lin Rui said somewhat absentmindedly.
"I can't sense even the slightest bit of excitement from you," Chen Tianye teased.
"Wasn't this all expected?"
Lin Rui countered with a question.
Chen Tianye was taken aback, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"That's right, it was exactly what I expected."
"Just as their manager said, this is a great work."
“If even works like these cannot meet the standards of official law, then they are not qualified to sit in that position.”
After chatting with Chen Tianye for a while, Lin Rui was about to go back to his dormitory to rest when a text message notification sounded.
It's the sound of my bank card balance changing.
The 830,000 yuan has been received.
As for why it wasn't a million, Lin Rui guessed it was because taxes were deducted.
The thought of losing nearly 200,000 yuan for no reason made him secretly feel the pain.
“At school, I’m considered a nouveau riche now.”
A sense of satisfaction finally appeared on Lin Rui's face.
Money is the most practical thing.
No matter how many empty boasts you make, if you don't have money, it's all nonsense.
Of course, we should not forget those who dug the well when we drink the water. Although Lin Rui deserves great credit for the great success of this official customized mission, he will not forget his colleagues behind the scenes.
"Sister Qi."
"Xiao Rui, you need me for something? Are you about to release a new song?"
Luo Qi's tone was filled with excitement.
"No...it's something else..."
Lin Rui was startled; Luo Qi really dared to think that way.
It's only been a short time, and they're already preparing to release a new song?
Do you really think you're a god?
"I believe the editing team deserves a lot of credit for the video's great success, and I'd like to personally contribute to that..."
Before Lin Rui could finish speaking, Luo Qi interrupted, "Xiao Rui, it's enough that you have this intention. I've already given each of them a big red envelope in your name."
"Huh?" Lin Rui was somewhat surprised.
"Although I don't know how to compose music or write lyrics, I do know how to be a good person."
“You mentioned to Mu Bai before that this editing greatly enhanced his song, and I kept that in mind after hearing that.”
"Mu Bai should be treating them to seafood at the hotel right now. Xiao Rui, wanna join us?"
Faced with Luo Qi's enthusiastic invitation, Lin Rui smiled and politely declined, "Maybe next time, I have something to do tonight."
"Oh well."
…
Six o'clock in the evening.
Many students in Xiazhou noticed that their school's official Weibo account had updated with a new post.
May you wander through half a lifetime, and return still a youth at heart.
Below the text, a four-minute short video was also posted.
Many students were immediately drawn to the incredibly artistic title and text, and driven by curiosity, they clicked on the video.
A WeChat chat group.
Huazhou Ancient Literature College Lao Lin: What's the situation in Xiazhou? Are you just going to let the graduation season pass by uneventfully?
Chen Jun from Huazhou Chinese Academy: What else? Just like in previous years, it's all about love and romance with no substance. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at for showing this?
Li Debiao of Huazhou College of Arts: You can't say that. Although it's the same every year, who knows if a miracle will happen this year?
Chen Jun from Huazhou Chinese Academy: Lao Li, we are cultured people, let's not get into that feudal superstition stuff, you know that's called a miracle.
Pei-Cheng Cheng, College of Humanities, Washington: The end of science is metaphysics.
Huazhou Ancient Literature College Lao Lin: Lao Zheng, what you're saying makes no sense.
Gu Chang of Huazhou Chinese Academy: May you leave home for half your life and return still a youth.
The group, who had been chatting casually, all fell silent.
One minute later…
Chen Jun from Huazhou Chinese Academy: @All members, Gu Changxin's new work, please enjoy.
Cao Jun from Huazhou Ancient Literature Academy: Wow, Gu Chang, where did you find your inspiration? It's perfect for the graduation season theme.
Old Lin from the Ancient Literature Department of Huazhou: When it comes to literature and art, your Chinese Literature Department is the best.
Li Debiao, Huazhou College of Literature: It has a strong literary flavor, but our teachers in the College of Literature also have many excellent works.
Chen Qiao from Huazhou College of Arts: Teacher Zheng Lin wrote a poem yesterday, which I will share with everyone later. However, I must admit that Teacher Gu Chang's words are indeed very good.
Huazhou Chinese Academy Gu Chang: Everyone, you've misunderstood. This statement was made by the people in Xiazhou. Go check their Weibo!
Chen Jun from the Chinese Language and Literature Institute of Washington State: ...
Cao Jun, Huazhou Ancient Literature Academy: ...
…
The once-active WeChat group fell silent. Gu Chang's words were like a thunderclap, leaving them stunned.
Xiazhou?
Those musicians can also write such artistic and meaningful copy?
This is not scientific!
With a skeptical attitude, they logged onto Weibo to find out the truth.
It would have been better if they hadn't looked; once they did, they were all dumbfounded.
Especially when I clicked on that video, my mouth was agape.
The name Fusheng was etched into their minds, haunting them like a nightmare!
Compared to the students of Xiazhou who were in a state of collective euphoria, these people were just the tip of the iceberg.
Yes!
The students in Xiazhou have all gone crazy!
With the school's deliberate promotion, students, whether currently enrolled, about to graduate, or even those already in the workforce, all watched the video through various channels.
That was an epic opening that was absolutely stunning!
That beautiful melody that brings tears to my eyes!
Those lyrics that reminisce about the past!
That thought-provoking end credits narration!
They collectively reached a climax the moment the video ended.
Many people were surprised to find that many of their friends had secretly changed their signatures to: "May you leave home for half your life and return still a youth."
At first, it was limited to a small group of people, but gradually, more and more people changed their chat signatures.
Moreover, many newly released videos on short video apps such as Douyin and Huoshou incorporate this phrase as text.
It's like a contagious disease; similar videos are becoming more and more common!
Douyin Technology Department.
As the head of the technology department, Lin Tao was the first to discover the data anomaly.
He immediately asked the technicians to check what caused such a huge fluctuation in the data.
Lin Tao even suspected that he had been hacked, which made him quite upset.
"Manager, the data is all normal, but ten minutes ago, a piece of copywriting suddenly surged in popularity and has now topped the trending search list."
"Copywriting?"
Lin Tao looked at the technicians with a strange expression.
Are you sure you're not ganging up on me?
"Yes, and all the videos related to that copy have garnered over three billion views in less than ten minutes."
"How much? Thirty billion?!" Lin Tao was dumbfounded.
"Several top-tier works related to this copywriting have all topped the trending search list, receiving over 300,000 views per minute, and this number is still soaring!"
"Manager! Look over here!"
"What is it now?!"
Lin Tao was extremely worried; since the company was founded, he had never encountered anything so bizarre.
"Manager, something terrible has happened! The server is about to collapse!"
Just as one problem was about to be resolved, another arose. Before things were over on this side, the technicians on the other side started screaming again.
Upon hearing that it concerned server stability, Lin Tao couldn't sit still and quickly ran over: "What exactly happened!"
"The platform is experiencing a surge in visitors and registrations, which is pushing the server to its limits."
"Holy crap, what on earth is going on?!"
Lin Tao scratched his head and roared, "Immediately start the backup server! We absolutely cannot let the server crash! Also, report the situation here to the general manager right away."
