Zhao Liangchen actually didn't specify any particular style of rap, he just told Xu Lin to casually come up with one.

Obviously, Zhao Liangchen underestimated Xu Lin.

Xu Lin spent two hours studying rap.

A little past three in the afternoon.

Xu Lin began to ponder the lyrics.

The rap Xu Lin gave to Zhao Liangchen was bound to be stirring and eloquent.

"These days, too many people fawn over foreign cultures."

"Our Huaxia has always stood at the pinnacle of the world throughout history; it's things like the Qing Dynasty that have brought down the historical average."

Thinking of the Qing Dynasty, Xu Lin thought of the Opium Wars, the Eight-Nation Alliance, and so much more.

This world owes Huaxia too much.

Xu Lin didn't delve into other historical events.

Rap, at its core, is all about critiquing various things.

Some distasteful raps even criticize migrant workers, the poor, or the lower classes, because species diversity is an objective reality.

Xu Lin also wanted to deliver a wave of criticism.

However, he aimed his critique at those foreign devils from modern history.

Like the Opium Wars: what did you, Little Britain, do in our Huaxia?

Like the Eight-Nation Alliance: you burned down the Yuanming Garden and looted countless cultural artifacts from Huaxia.

Things like that.

Xu Lin focused on cultural topics, being careful with the scope so as not to get censored.

At the same time, while talking about these imperialist powers plundering Huaxia's cultural relics and destroying its culture, Xu Lin also criticized that foreign countries lack much history, and because their historical depth is insufficient, they resort to pillaging.

In short, Xu Lin cursed in a civilized way without uttering a single foul word.

He penned his words passionately, with five hundred articulate words.

The rap lyrics were a bit lengthy, but that's not an issue because rap is generally fast-paced.

Over the next hour, Xu Lin kept refining and editing, bringing the lyrics to a point where they were both catchy and scathing—something that would make Huaxia people exhilarated, make 1450 pound their chests, and incite foreigners to flip tables.

"This song should get released, right?"

"What should be the song's name?"

After some consideration, Xu Lin decided to name the song "Dressed Dogs and Swine."

Meaning: people who wear clothes yet behave like pigs and dogs.

Source: "Little Window Reminiscences" — draped like cattle and horses; crowned like dogs and swine.

It's a way to scold people for lacking propriety, ethics, and integrity.

After finishing it, Xu Lin began composing the music, which took another two hours.

The overall rhythm of the track was quite fast and energetic.

This is typical of rap; if you lack a bit of lung capacity, you can't do rap.

By now, the song was complete.

Xu Lin glanced at the time; it was already past six in the evening. By late November, it was dark outside by then.

Xu Lin prepared to send the song's sheet music and lyrics to Zhao Liangchen.

"Oh right, let's get the contract done first."

Xu Lin initially planned to draft a physical contract but realized it wasn't necessary to make it that complicated.

He already had the "Programming Master" skill.

So, Xu Lin spent some time creating a website for the Dream Entertainment studio.

After about an hour, Xu Lin had something pretty decent set up.

With a website, there would be no need for cumbersome paper contracts in the future, which not only required mailing back and forth but also needed signatures from both parties and two copies—a real hassle.

However, with a website, only electronic contracts were needed.

A little past seven in the evening.

Xu Lin sent a message to Zhao Liangchen.

Zhao Liangchen instantly replied: "Coming, master!"

Xu Lin sent him the website link.

Xu Lin: "Register an account on it, and once you succeed, I'll send the contract to you in the backend. Afterward, you just need to sign it."

Zhao Liangchen: "Got it, master! I'll handle it right away!"

Zhao Liangchen was quite naive; he was only eighteen years old and at an age where he knew little. He logged in to the website, registered an account, and returned to inform Xu Lin. Before long, the electronic contract arrived.

Without even looking at the contract, Zhao Liangchen proceeded to sign it electronically, a process that mainly involved three steps: electronic signature, identity card registration, and mobile verification.

Xu Lin reminded him to read it carefully, but Zhao Liangchen didn't bother.

Good thing Xu Lin wasn't out to scam anyone.

Generally, entertainment contracts would bind you to serve the company, and later, if you made a mistake or didn't comply with the company's requests, you might be shelved due to the big boss' displeasure, facing a five- to ten-year hiatus, effectively ending your career.

Zhao Liangchen promptly replied: "Master, I've signed it! The contract's submitted!"

Xu Lin: "Okay, I saw it in the backend."

At this point, the track was also complete, exported as an mp4 file, along with the sheet music and lyrics.

Three files in total, Xu Lin compressed them into a single package and sent it to Zhao Liangchen.

Filename: Confidential, Do Not Disclose.

Xu Lin specially added: Your song is ready. Until the official release, don't leak the content. Later, when you publish it on a platform, remember to request copyright on this website.

The website was the one Xu Lin had previously used for copyright applications.

Zhao Liangchen: "Whoa! Master, that was fast!"

Xu Lin: "Go ahead and start the process. If you don't understand something, just ask me."

Xu Lin: "Remember, secrecy is crucial in the early stages. Don't let the lyrics or sheet music leak."

Xu Lin was very attentive to his first batch of trainees because he wanted to make a strong start, so he put in extra effort.

If it were future trainees, he might not be as diligent unless someone showed exceptional talent.

Later on, Xu Lin expected to take in more trainees, hosting about five or six sessions with ten people each, which would be fifty to sixty people overall.
