The man who emerged from the crowd was roughly one meter eighty tall and now stood in front of the three women, effectively blocking them.

"Xu Brother..."

This person likely held considerable prestige in the broadcasting circle, and as he glared at them now, the three women, timid, backed down.

"Since we're all on Douyu livestreaming, that makes us friends, understand?"

"We, we understand..."

All three women responded in unison and promptly retreated.

"Hmph, pathetic driver, don't let us run into you again."

Giving face to Xu Brother by not going against Guan Shimeng was one thing, but letting Xu Fan off was another matter entirely.

After the three women backed away, they still glared at Xu Fan with undisguised annoyance.

As for the three women who would never be away from beauty cameras in their next life, Xu Fan couldn't care less. His attention swiftly turned to Xu Brother, who was walking towards him.

If Xu Fan remembered correctly, this guy's ID on Douyu was Warm Winter Sunlight. Although he'd never really checked out the guy's livestream content, he would always see Warm Winter Sunlight's streaming room in the front row every time.

In Douyu, he could be considered a popular broadcaster, often featured on the homepage with his banner.

Handsome, talented, and charming to girls; if Xu Fan were Douyu, he too would promote such a person.

"Shimeng, I'm sorry about the misunderstanding just now. You don't mind, do you?"

Warm Winter Sunlight, who was responsible for organizing this gathering, came over with a warm smile and started to apologize to Guan Shimeng.

"No, it's fine. I didn't take it to heart."

Guan Shimeng was not one to hold grudges. She nodded politely at the other party and explained.

"Alright, then. Since all the broadcasters have arrived, let's go in. The people from Douyu will be here soon too."

With all the invited broadcasters present, Warm Winter Sunlight clapped his hands, ready to lead the group inside and wait for the officials from Douyu.

"Hey? What are you doing following us, you stinking driver?"

Before the group could enter Prosperous Dynasty, the Douyu Trio began to shout.

Their target was obviously Xu Fan.

This gathering, meant for top broadcasters, indeed wasn't quite the place for a driver like Xu Fan to tag along.

However, since Shimeng didn't say anything, everyone else turned a blind eye.

But the Douyu Trio clearly hadn't forgotten their grievances.

Seeing everyone's attention turn to Xu Fan, Guan Shimeng felt somewhat awkward.

If it weren't for his shenanigans, it wouldn't have been so awkward...

"Xu Fan is actually my friend. Bringing him along shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Confronting such shameless women, Guan Shimeng was clearly out of her depth. She weakly asked the question.

"Not a problem?"

The Trio squawked loudly, pointing at the resplendent sign of Prosperous Dynasty and remarked, "This place, he won't be able to afford even with half a year's earnings! You want to bring him along? Shimeng, as a top broadcaster, are you going to foot the bill?"

"Kikiki, isn't all his money spent on renting cars?"

"I'll cover his costs. Is that alright now?"

Without cameras around, the Trio were far from their livestream personas, mercilessly taunting! Just then, a cute girl with twin ponytails walked out indignantly.

"Yo? Miaomiao, you seem to have a lot of money?"

Seeing the host emerge from the crowd, San Sao couldn't help but laugh.

I really didn't expect someone would actually stand up for such a loser.

"What's it to you? The money he spends later will all be on my tab, are we good now?"

In the past, during live streams, these three women never refrained from using manipulations to compete for popularity. Miaomiao had long been displeased with the trio, and now, driven by anger, she took a stand.

It's likely this girl hadn't recognized him yet, but to do such a good deed, Xu Fan watched from the side, narrowing his eyes.

It wasn't in vain that he had donated so many rockets to her before.

"If Miaomiao doesn't have enough money, I'll cover for this brother too. That should settle it, right?"

At this point, Han Dong Wenux also stood up. As one of Douyu's most promoted male live streamers, San Sao immediately ran out of things to say when she saw him.

"Bro, let's go in."

As if fearing embarrassment for himself, Han Dong Wenux also deliberately nodded at him. Xu Fan saw it and raised his eyebrows subtly.

Truth be told, this guy had no reason to stand up for him. He was willing to offend these three difficult female live streamers just to show face to himself, but why?

Even before arriving today, Douyu's official staff had already booked the Tianzi suite at Prosperous Dynasty, and once the group entered, they didn't need any ice-breaking and got lively straight away.

The Douyu official in charge of this network Spring Festival Gala was a director especially dispatched from the Shanghai branch.

According to Han Dong Wenux, the person had just gotten off the plane and was on their way here; it would still be a while before they arrived.

The crowd couldn't exactly sit around doing nothing, and most of the people present were karaoke enthusiasts. After everyone finished picking their songs, they started enjoying themselves.

As the most applauded, Han Dong Wenux had just finished singing and handed the microphone to Guan Shimeng, then made his way over to the empty spot next to Xu Fan.

"Bro, aren't you going to sing a song?"

"Nah, I'm just average at singing."

Xu Fan waved his hand and directly refused the other's invitation.

Most of those present were people who earned their living by singing; he didn't need to embarrass himself in front of them.

"True, singing isn't that interesting. I saw a billiards table outside a moment ago, how about we go play a game?"

"..."

Xu Fan felt an inexplicable chill, wondering if he had become so attractive that even men were interested in him?

He looked the other over carefully and didn't detect that kind of vibe.

Since entering, this guy had mostly kept his attention on him. Xu Fan was genuinely curious as to why.

Prosperous Dynasty was his turf, and Xu Fan wasn't worried about any mess; since the other had invited him, Xu Fan simply agreed.

"Sure, since you've offered, we can play a game."

As Xu Fan spoke, he stood up and followed Han Dong Wenux out toward the main entrance.

In the meantime, several male live streamers who weren't enthusiastic about singing also seemed to consider stepping out for some fresh air, but they were all turned down by Han Dong Wenux.

"Hey, it's been a long time since I played, I'm a bit rusty. Are we playing eight-ball or...?"

After the two left the Tianzi suite and arrived at the billiards table in the hall, Han Dong Wenux picked up a cue stick and asked Xu Fan.

Xu Fan took the cue stick thrown to him and narrowed his eyes, then said with a smile, "Bro, if you have something to say, just spit it out."
