Wang Baolin.

This name might not ring a bell for Douyu livestream viewers, but for Han Dong Nuanchu, one of Douyu's top streamers, it was all too familiar.

This was Douyu's major shareholder, someone who could determine his fate, an untouchable high-profile figure he currently couldn't hope to match!

Previously, Han Dong Nuanchu had just assumed that Xu Fan was an exceptionally generous tycoon, but now it seemed that Xu Fan's true identity was ten times more terrifying than he had imagined...

This time, he probably had stumbled upon a treasure...

Even if he hadn't been selected for Douyu's online spring festival gala, arriving in Jinling, Han Dong Nuanchu wouldn't have felt the slightest bit upset.

Just knowing Xu Fan was enough for him.

"Director Wang, what do you mean?"

After relaying the events as instructed by Wang Baolin, Han Dong Nuanchu inquired about his intentions.

"This Mr. Luo, tell him directly that he's no longer needed, and then that woman, have her get lost as well!"

"As for Xu Fan, I'll leave him in your hands. Han Dong Nuanchu, right? You must handle this matter for me today, understand?"

"Rest assured, Director Wang, I know what to do," Han Dong Nuanchu confidently replied.

It took a good while talking to Wang Baolin before he finally hung up the phone.

Han Dong Nuanchu was still reeling from shock at Director Wang's respectful attitude towards Xu Fan.

It was truly hard to imagine how such an unassuming person could hold such a prominent status.

Now, under the curious gazes of everyone, Han Dong Nuanchu calmly looked towards Director Luo and the three rambunctious sisterheads.

"You two, don't bother hanging around Douyu anymore."

"What?"

The three rambunctious sisterheads almost laughed when they heard Han Dong Nuanchu's words.

True, Han Dong Nuanchu was a bit more popular than her, but since when did a streamer have the authority to fire her?

Not to mention, firing Director Luo—did he have the qualifications?

"Han Dong Nuanchu, you dare threaten me?"

As Director Luo and the three rambunctious sisterheads glared at him, Han Dong Nuanchu wasn't the least bit intimidated. Smiling faintly, he responded, "As a streamer, indeed I don't have that authority. However, Wang Baolin, Director Wang, should have that power, right?"

"Director Luo, in this world, there are some people you can't afford to offend."

"What... what?"

The name Wang Baolin dropped from Han Dong Nuanchu's mouth like a bombshell, stunning Director Luo as if he had been struck by lightning, his spirit completely shattered.

After overhearing Xu Fan's phone call, he had felt something was odd, and now, with Han Dong Nuanchu's reminder, he realized the truth.

This time he was really in trouble.

His phone in the pocket rang at that moment, clearly a call from Douyu's upper echelon.

Without answering the call, Director Luo already knew what awaited him.

Finished... He was completely finished...

Director Luo's eyes lost their light as he collapsed to the ground, listless as a dead man.

Seeing his despondent state, the three rambunctious sisterheads became somewhat panic-stricken.

Shaking his arm, she cried out, "Director Luo, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me like this..."

"You damn well get out of here!"

Director Luo, with a cold expression, smacked the three rambunctious sisterheads across the face!

It was all because of this woman!

Had it not been for her incessant meddling, how would he have ended up in this predicament?

Being dismissed from Douyu, where could he find shelter in the future?

It was over. His life was completely over!

"Worthless woman, I'll kill you!"

Two scumbags ripping into each other, it was truly disgusting. Xu Fan frowned, waved his hand dismissively, and then ordered, "Throw the both of them out, don't dirty up this place."

"..."

At this moment, the people from Prosperous Dynasty were obedient. They dragged the two men towards the restroom exit.

This bunch of top streamers, now looking dumbstruck at the unfazed Xu Fan, were at a loss.

One by one, a feeling called regret began to take root in their hearts.

Why hadn't they possessed the foresight like Cold Winter Warmth, to recognize the extraordinary in this guy...

If they had made friends with Xu Fan right from the start, wouldn't their path at Douyu be smooth sailing from thereon?

But by now, it was too late to talk about this...

"Alright, if everyone wants to keep playing, go back."

"For this online Spring Festival Gala, Chairman Wang already said that others would handle it, so everyone need not worry."

At this time, Cold Winter Warmth briefly soothed everyone before walking over to Xu Fan.

"Brother Qianfan, what are your plans now?"

Before hanging up the phone, Wang Baolin had explicitly instructed him to take good care of Xu Fan.

However, Cold Winter Warmth guessed that after today's incident, Xu Fan was no longer in the mood to continue the fun.

"Alright, I guess we should be going too, brother. Meeting you today was a pleasure."

Sure enough, Xu Fan shook hands with Cold Winter Warmth, already preparing to leave.

Cold Winter Warmth shook hands with Xu Fan awkwardly, too embarrassed to ask him to stay.

Now that Xu Fan's status had been revealed, he was simply not on the same level as the other top streamers present.

If he stayed longer, what would follow would just be all sorts of obsequious fawning over him.

With his low-key personality, how could he like such hypocrisy?

"Then, let's keep in touch when we have time."

...

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Cold Winter Warmth, Xu Fan led Guan Shimeng out of Prosperous Dynasty.

If it had only been Guan Shimeng, that couldn't have been as troublesome, but Xu Fan was exasperated by having Miaomiao, who was holding Guan Shimeng's hand, by his side.

He didn't know what trick Miaomiao had pulled during the short period he had been in the restroom, but in such a brief time, she somehow became chummy with Guan Shimeng.

"Miaomiao, isn't your flight tonight?"

Miaomiao showed no signs of leaving at this point, and Xu Fan was genuinely getting anxious. If this girl decided to stay in Jinling, he would be too overwhelmed to look after her.

"Shimeng! Look!"

At that moment, Miaomiao turned to Guan Shimeng in feigned distress.

"Xu Fan, Miaomiao's visit to Jinling is so rare, how could you rush her to leave?"

Right then, Guan Shimeng began to admonish him as if she were speaking to a child.

Xu Fan saw this and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

You naive girl, can't you sense the slightest bit of danger...

This girl... she's up to no good!

"Comrade Miaomiao, let me tell you, you have to leave Jinling before tonight!"

Currently, Xu Fan had no time to spare for Miaomiao's antics. First, he had to help Duoduo with her treatment, and second, there was a business deal at Xia Yanyu's end that needed his direct supervision.

Xu Fan could not afford to be distracted.

Miaomiao was quite dissatisfied and was planning to make a fuss with him.

At this moment, Xu Fan's phone suddenly rang in his pocket. Seeing the caller, Xu Fan's expression changed drastically.

"You two wait a minute…"
