The next day.

Zijing Middle School.

The small stir Xu Fan caused after school yesterday didn't make any big waves in Jinling; at least, sitting in the classroom right now, he hadn't heard any news related to that Hong Zitao.

Xu Fan guessed that the current calm had something to do with his excellent photography skills from yesterday.

Even if Hong Zitao had a big temper and wanted to retaliate against him, he'd have to consider his public image.

An incident involving South Korean idol group member Hong Zitao and a hefty guy, that news, if it spread, wouldn't sound too good.

Classes hadn't started yet, and Xu Fan, resting his chin in his hand, was pondering how to help Guan Shimeng.

First, he had to resolve the opposition from her family, and second, he couldn't let her be affected by those vile influences; coming up with a plan wasn't that easy.

What was even more headache-inducing for Xu Fan was that Chen Dongdong was lying on the table, focused on something, laughing foolishly, seriously distracting him from his thoughts.

"Dongdong, in broad daylight, can you put away those little movies filmed by just one or two people?"

Silently glancing over at Chen Dongdong, one could see that he was sneakily using his phone to watch a video.

"Boss, what are you talking about?"

Seeing Xu Fan teasing him, Chen Dongdong became very alert, sat up, and with a look of blame said, "Accusing me like that could damage the radiant image I have in the eyes of our female classmates, you know?"

"..."

Xu Fan rolled his eyes speechlessly—radiant image, yeah right...

At least half of the Dongying torrents circulating in the class were spread by this guy.

If it weren't for the fact that he saw him as a brother, he would have reported him for spreading inappropriate content a long time ago.

"Look, boss, look closely, what I'm watching is live streaming, not those embarrassing things you mentioned."

Seemingly to avoid suspicion, Chen Dongdong handed his phone to Xu Fan right then. On the screen, a man was playing League of Legends.

Live streaming was something Xu Fan was rather unfamiliar with.

Throughout his life, apart from being tormented by that old-timer, he had only killed people, drunk alcohol, and flirted with women; indeed, he hadn't had much time to engage in such activities.

But when he was abroad, he had heard Azure Dragon talk about it; that guy even secretly live streamed himself playing games when he was bored.

Having glanced at the streamer Chen Dongdong was watching for a moment, Xu Fan handed the phone back.

"What's there to see? This guy is nowhere near as handsome as your boss. If you want to see a handsome guy, just look at me, isn't that enough?"

"Eh, boss, you don't get it."

Chen Dongdong, not in the mood to tease Xu Fan this time, pointed at the loudly shouting streamer on the screen and said, "Though he's ugly, he plays badly too."

"Look, boss, this guy is a major broadcaster on the Douyu Platform, with millions of people watching his live stream. He's made enough to drive a sports car and marry a model just from streaming!"

Chen Dongdong seemed quite envious of the live streaming industry and explained to Xu Fan while fantasizing, "Ah, if I weren't so busy studying, I'd become a streamer too."

"Tsk tsk, with my handsome face, imposing stature, witty speech, and my skills that sweep through the silver rank! I'd definitely have loads of female fans supporting me!"

"Ah, just thinking about it is delightful—earning a hundred rockets every day, that would be an income of a hundred thousand daily!"

"Hmm?"

Listening to Chen Dongdong self-indulgently speaking, Xu Fan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

It wasn't because of the exorbitantly high income of the streamers...

Right now, seeing the millions of viewers displayed on Chen Dongdong's phone screen, Xu Fan couldn't help but show some interest.

"Dongdong, are you saying that anyone can livestream?"

Maybe this was an opportunity for Guan Shimeng, Xu Fan couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, boss, didn't you know? It's the era of livestreaming for everyone now!"

Chen Dongdong was getting excited now, holding his phone enthusiastically while explaining to Xu Fan.

Look, there are streams of playing various games, singing, dancing, flirting, outdoor activities, and even, at night, there are haunted house adventures too!"

From Chen Dongdong's phone, one could see that on the Douyu Platform, there was a variety of livestream content available, and even, damn, a cute girl was livestreaming her sleep, attracting tens of thousands of viewers...

Such a fiery performance invariably brightened Xu Fan's eyes.

Perhaps this was the solution he was looking for.

Compared to traditional media, online streaming had its shortcomings, but it also had its own unique advantages.

Though it couldn't match the fame of the entertainment industry and its influence was limited, streaming could indeed be considered a great platform for ordinary people to rise rapidly.

More importantly, online streaming was less chaotic compared to the entertainment industry. For Guan Shimeng, it might be a good place to test the waters.

Even if Guan Shimeng's parents found out about this, he could explain it.

Just singing online, he believed Guan Shimeng's parents wouldn't be so prejudiced as to not allow even this, would they?

Having considered everything, Xu Fan made up his mind; he would wait and talk to Guan Shimeng to see what she thought.

But this girl was utterly obedient to him, so he feared that whatever he suggested, she wouldn't hesitate...

"By the way, boss, you're asking so much, do you think that your little bro here is particularly suited for this industry?"

Having finished explaining, and seeing Xu Fan looking pensive, Chen Dongdong smugly raised his eyebrow and asked.

"Apparently, Dongdong, you're overthinking it."

Xu Fan shook his head seriously and said, "I've lived for eighteen years, and I never knew that being this handsome, apart from attracting girls, had any other use."

"Now hearing you talk about it, I think I should use my face to make a living."

After bantering with Chen Dongdong for a while, it was soon time for class.

In class, Xu Fan discussed some more with Chen Dongdong, who usually watched a lot of livestreams. Although he hadn't been involved in this industry, he knew quite a bit, so after talking to him, Xu Fan also gained some understanding.

Soon, after Xu Fan had more or less figured it out, he went to find Guan Shimeng to hear her thoughts.

Just as he expected, this silly girl trusted him completely. She didn't even plan to listen to his detailed explanation and simply said, "I'll listen to you," not at all afraid that he might sell her out.

He suggested she try online streaming, and believing that even if there were any troubles, he could handle them, Xu Fan didn't waste more words. After the classes ended at noon, he went to find Shi Lei.

He still had some other matters to deal with...
