"Ah! A disgrace!"

Although Bai Shengwu was taken away, Principal Xu's face was ashen. With such an incident occurring, he, as the principal, also bore responsibility!

"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry you had to witness this debacle," Principal Xu seemed to have aged several years in a moment.

"Principal, it's not your fault, there's no need for you to apologize."

"As for the donation, I have no face to accept it," although very reluctant, the disgrace their school suffered today was already too much.

"Hong Yi, transfer ten billion to Gusu University's account," Zhang Menglong instructed.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang."

"Mr. Zhang, what are you..."

"Principal Xu, this scum needs to be dealt with, but the school also needs to develop, right? After removing the rat feces, the stuff in the pot also needs to be changed. Let's start over from this new campus!"

Upon hearing Zhang Menglong's words, Principal Xu was immediately moved to tears, "Mr. Zhang, on behalf of all the teachers and students, I thank you for your generosity!"

...

"Was that whole incident your doing?" Bai Shengwu was behind bars, and it was only a matter of time before the remaining issues were investigated. Zhang Menglong and Lu Yiyao also left the school.

"What do you mean, 'was it my doing'? Do you really think I'm that twisted?" Zhang Menglong said with a bitter smile, "Bai Shengwu was trash to begin with; is it surprising he would do something like this?"

"True!" Lu Yiyao thought for a long time. Even if Zhang Menglong was wealthy, he couldn't be so omnipotent, could he? Suddenly, she couldn't be bothered to think more about it.

"Come with me to Jiangnan City!" Zhang Menglong took Lu Yiyao's hand, "I'm afraid I can't take good care of you here."

"Hey, I'm not a child anymore," Lu Yiyao protested, "I'll graduate in less than half a year, can't you wait that long!"

"Of course, I can't wait!" Zhang Menglong suddenly revealed a mischievous smile, "That Teacher on the bridge just now..."

"Ah! Don't talk about it anymore! Zhang Menglong, you've changed!"

"How have I changed? I never said I didn't look before, hahaha!"

...

After staying in Gusu for a few days, Lu Yiyao switched to a new teacher, and all preparations had to start again. Zhang Menglong instructed Hong Yi to take good care of her while he returned to Jiangnan City alone.

Two days earlier, Wang Ling had resolved all copyright issues and had also returned to Jiangnan City. In three days, the download volume of Music Voice Forest exceeded 50 million, and the number of users broke through 300 million!

Keep in mind, Wangyi Music had been operating for so many years and had only just broken through 800 million users (including duplicate registrations).

Moreover, according to feedback from app markets, in these few days, the uninstall rate of Wangyi Music reached an astonishing 12%!

Of course, the desire to uninstall due to comments on songs was a major reason, but as the user count of Music Voice Forest increased, the number of comments on songs also soared. It wouldn't take long to replace Wangyi Music.

What mattered most was that in the past three days, the user payment rate of Wangyi Music was only 3% of the same period!

With free copyright, the best sound quality, only a fool would pay for songs that you charge for!

Moreover, to meet the needs of some fans, Music Voice Forest had also launched a tipping feature; except for a portion taken by the app market, Music Voice Forest didn't take a penny, giving it all to the musicians!

Such actions instantly won the favor of musicians nationwide. Most niche musicians were just making ends meet, so for them, Music Voice Forest's approach was a godsend!

As a result, a large number of musicians chose to sign with Music Voice Forest, and their number of original musicians began to skyrocket.

Because Wangyi Music was entirely controlled by Ding Yuxi, the Ding Family, and some relatives, there were no fluctuations in stock prices, but it was clear to those with discerning eyes that their withdrawal from the market and potential closure was only a matter of time!

Days ago, Tengxun had announced that the entire Tengxun Music was sold to Zhang Menglong, which further solidified these speculations.

In the first week after Music Voice Forest's explosion, Zhang Menglong arrived at the headquarters of Wangyi Music, "Find Ding Yuxi for me!"

"Zhang Menglong is here!"

"What's he doing here? How dare he show his face? Look what he's done to us!"

"Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you. I heard that our boss Ding offended him, which is why he went to such lengths!"

"Yeah, spending tens of billions on copyrights to take us down, it's like he's avenging his father's death or something!"

"You're underestimating Zhang Menglong. Is ten billion a lot for him? At most, it's because boss Ding is too ugly and blinded him."

"Hahaha, you really dare to say that, aren't you afraid of getting fired?"

"What's there to be afraid of? Anyway, even if we don't get fired, the company's about to go under soon. Hey, what do you think he's here for?"

"Could he be here to take over our company?"

"That would be great! Given the current situation, we won't be able to get our salaries in two months, so it would save us the trouble of looking for another job."

As Zhang Menglong arrived at the company, everyone began to talk, each with a different attitude, after all, he was the one who had forced Music Ease to this point.

"Mr. Zhang, our boss Mr. Ding says he doesn't want to see you," the receptionist said as she hung up the phone.

"Oh, let him be. It doesn't make any difference to me whether he sees me or not!" Zhang Menglong signaled to the two men following him, "Bring out the stuff!"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang!" The two young men in Music Forestry's uniform promptly rolled out a pull-up banner in the company lobby.

"Music Forestry recruitment?"

"A special recruitment event for Music Ease? Holy shit, this is a stab to the heart! This operation is genius; it's my first time seeing someone directly recruiting from their competitor's company."

"Is this even poaching? This is outright recruitment!"

"Salary based on the original with a 20% increase! They're offering raises!"

"Damn! No wonder he's Mr. Zhang, I'm resigning on the spot at light speed!"

"Mr. Zhang, are you really here to recruit?" one employee asked, curious.

"Of course! It's written in black and white!"

"Any requirements?"

"If you could get into Music Ease, you must be talented. All you have to do is resign now, and you can start working with me tomorrow!"

"Damn!"

"Shit!"

"Hurry up and write your resignation letters! Are you waiting around here to retire or what?"

"What... what are you doing?" Several veterans of Music Ease panicked immediately. To them, Music Ease was as vital as their own child; even if it was falling apart, they would support it to the very end!

"Director, the company's almost gone. Don't blame us. We have our elders to care for, children to feed, and mortgages to pay, we can't miss this opportunity!"

"Yeah, Director, why don't you come with us?"

"Traitors! You lot, once you leave, don't ever think of coming back!"

"Director, no offense, but even if we wanted to come back, would the company still be here?"

"Director, pen, paper, let's write it together!"

"Where's the security? Call the police; this is harassment! This is unfair business competition!" the Music Ease director shouted.

"Call the police?" Zhang Menglong laughed, "Go ahead and call them. Even if the police come, they won't arrest me. I'm poaching from my own company, why would they arrest me?"

"What? Impossible! Except for a small part of the shares held by us executives, the rest are with Mr. Ding and his relatives."

"Right!" Zhang Menglong said, "Last night, Ding Xinbo, representing Mr. Ding's seven aunts and eight uncles, begged me to buy their shares. 57% of the shares, supposedly worth over 40 billion US dollars, I got them for just 10 billion dollars!"

"What? How could this be?" The director was completely dumbfounded.

"57% of the shares? Doesn't that mean Mr. Zhang is now the chairman of our company?"

"Damn! Who would care about someone poaching in their own company?"

"Poaching from his own company? What the hell kind of move is that?"

"I get it now, he's here to piss off Mr. Ding!"

"What Mr. Ding, it's Mr. Zhang now!"

"Hahaha, I'll gladly call Mr. Zhang the most cunning!"
