Listening to the director's furious scolding over the phone.
Meng Lan's scalp tingled, and a thick layer of goosebumps instantly rose on her body.
She looked at the 'broken' phone worth two thousand yuan in Chen Nan's hand with disbelief, her body trembling uncontrollably.
In this instant.
Many thoughts flashed through her mind.
For example.
Who was this man?
Why did his live stream have millions of online fans?
As a media professional.
She immediately had an ominous feeling.
Yes.
This unremarkable man before her was definitely not as simple as he appeared on the surface.
Because she knew that even for top-tier celebrities, reaching a million online viewers in a live stream was difficult.
Only Heavenly King level superstars.
Or a big shot extremely skilled in a particular field!
Of course.
None of that mattered.
What mattered was…
Whether she could keep her job.
*Plop!*
Liu Jun knelt before Chen Nan in front of everyone, his eyes filled with pleading, "Brother Gou, I was wrong, please be merciful and let me live."
The viewers in the live stream immediately exploded.
"Holy crap! Did the tables turn that fast?"
"He finally knows Brother Gou's background!"
"Of course, who in the entire internet doesn't know Brother Gou's status online?"
"I have to say, Brother Gou's fans really include a lot of big shots. If I'm not mistaken, his partner must have terminated their cooperation with him, otherwise he wouldn't be kneeling and begging for mercy in public."
Chen Nan kicked Liu Jun away and scolded him impatiently, "Your words make it sound like I'm causing trouble for you. Even if you want to stage an accident, I won't let you succeed, and the 1.3 million brothers in my live stream won't agree either!"
"Get lost, get lost, go play somewhere else!"
Meng Lan's pupils trembled violently.
A monstrous wave surged in her heart.
Brother Gou?
Liu Jun actually called this man Brother Gou?
Good heavens!
He couldn't possibly be the legendary top online tycoon 'I'm Not a Simp', could he?
As a media professional.
She naturally knew of the most mysterious, wealthiest, and longest-standing figure online, 'I'm Not a Simp'.
This person rose to prominence ten years ago.
Since his appearance, he had been active online.
No one could rival him.
This was extremely rare.
After all, in this era of rapid online change.
Even a phenomenally popular internet celebrity would have a 'lifespan' of at most three to five months.
Take the grassroots celebrity Cao Cao, who rose to fame overnight more than a decade ago.
He was incredibly popular at the time.
But what was the result?
As long as you had any dark spot, it would be dug up, amplified infinitely.
And then you'd be cast into eternal damnation.
But 'I'm Not a Simp' was an anomaly on the internet.
When he first emerged, he spent lavishly, spending a hundred million in one night.
This caused a huge uproar across the entire internet.
Even overseas netizens marveled at such a tycoon.
After all, a hundred million was wealth that many people couldn't earn in eight lifetimes of hard work.
When he first emerged, many people speculated that his rise was to attract fans for monetization.
Or perhaps to launder money through donations.
But the results proved many people wrong.
He didn't engage in any product sales.
The tax bureau also investigated his finances; everything was clean.
Not only that.
Brother Gou also set up a restriction on following.
Except for the initial fans who followed him, no one else could follow him afterward.
If he hadn't set up the follow restriction.
He would undoubtedly be the person with the most followers on the entire internet, bar none.
Of course.
He didn't stop spending money.
He spent several hundred million each year.
Truly, ten years of consistent behavior.
This was definitely an evergreen figure on the internet.
The ceiling!
"If he really is Brother Gou, then I'm finished!" Meng Lan swallowed nervously. She no longer hoped to keep her job. The incident today alone would lead to online harassment.
"Boss, this is bad! Someone is smashing our shop!" A young man rushed over frantically, saying to Meng Yunyang with great urgency.
"Who the hell is so bold to smash my shop?" Meng Yunyang was furious and rushed towards his shop in a rage.
"Let's go, we need to leave quickly!"
Meng Lan realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly got into the car.
Soon, the news van started and drove away.
"Brothers, this is my friend's shop. If you like birds and flowers, you can come and take a look." Chen Nan pointed the camera at the Baiju Pavilion sign: "I'll talk to you all later!" With that, he ended the live stream.
He then looked at He Shuqin: "Yu... Miss He, shall we leave for now?"
Seeing that shop employees were arriving for work, He Shuqin nodded in agreement.
She then extended her right hand, and the cockatiel landed on her hand. She then got into Chen Nan's Mercedes G-wagon, and they quickly disappeared from the Panjiayuan area.
"Dr. Chen, are you really the online tycoon Brother Gou?" He Shuqin looked at Chen Nan nervously from the passenger seat of the Mercedes.
"Uh..." Chen Nan looked embarrassed: "Do I look like that kind of tycoon?"
He Shuqin smiled brightly: "The age doesn't match."
Chen Nan looked to be only twenty-four or twenty-five years old.
And that tycoon emerged ten years ago.
She didn't believe Chen Nan was 'I'm Not a Simp'.
After all, they had known each other for over two years. She knew Chen Nan had some money, but that money was earned from treating patients, nowhere near the level of that mysterious tycoon.
"I've treated that tycoon before, and my relationship with him is similar to yours, we are friends. I was forced to borrow his account for the live stream earlier," Chen Nan said casually.
He Shuqin looked grateful: "Thank you! If you hadn't revived this cockatiel, I would definitely be in big trouble and wouldn't be able to establish myself in this circle."
She felt ashamed.
She shouldn't have doubted Chen Nan's medical skills.
And she was certain.
The reason this colorful cockatiel in her hand had undergone genetic mutation was definitely related to the medicinal liquid Chen Nan fed it last night.
However.
She still couldn't understand.
Why did this cockatiel wake up today after drinking the medicinal liquid last night?
Why did it only wake up after she paid Liu Jun one million yuan in compensation?
The cockatiel perched on the center console and made a crisp sound: "Saying thank you is too insincere. Why don't you just marry me!"
He Shuqin was stunned.
A blush then rose to her cheeks.
She looked more alluring.
Chen Nan glared at the cockatiel angrily: "Believe it or not, if you say one more word, I'll pluck your feathers and roast you?"
It was one thing for Qinglong to learn bad habits from him.
He couldn't accept a bird being so improper.
The cockatiel was startled and immediately landed on He Shuqin's right shoulder, saying with a hint of grievance: "You don't appreciate a good bird's intentions. Bird Lord was clearly trying to set you up, why are you thinking of roasting me?"
"If you're like this, Bird Lord curses you to have disabled arms and to be single for ten thousand years!"
Chen Nan's face turned green!
Being single for ten thousand years was one thing!
Why add disabled arms?
Holy crap!
Does this bird know too much?
