NOVPUBFrom the moment Wu Bin received the message until they stepped out of the dormitory building, He Bingbing and the others were constantly being followed and filmed.
When the viewers in the live streaming room heard that Wu Bin’s relative had come, at first everyone actually had some expectations.
They knew Wu Bin was an orphan, otherwise Xu Wenyao wouldn’t always be the one showing up to sign papers whenever Wu Bin was hospitalized.
So, the viewers originally thought that this time Wu Bin’s meeting with his relative would definitely be more heartwarming and touching.
But the situation did not unfold as they had imagined.
"What does this man mean, is he threatening Brother Wu?"
"Damn, did he even listen to what he’s saying? He said he has some disgraceful material on Brother Wu?"
"It’s over, won’t my favorite Brother Wu have his life ruined? Could it be that Brother Wu was a bully back in the orphanage?"
No wonder the viewers were so anxious; in recent years there had simply been too many online celebrities whose careers had collapsed. 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
They indeed admired Wu Bin for his unyielding and optimistic spirit when he faced his illness.
But who really knew what kind of person Wu Bin had been in the past?
Wu Bin sneered, "You have evidence of my disgrace? Alright then, bring it out. I would like to see what this evidence you’re talking about is."
Seeing that Wu Bin had no intention of compromising, the man was enraged with embarrassment.
"Alright, you want to play tough with me?"
The man took out a hard disk and said to He Bingbing standing on the side, "I know you are from the biggest TV station in Magic City. In this hard disk, I have evidence of Wu Bin’s past disgraceful actions."
"I want someone from your TV station to witness this. I am giving Wu Bin twenty-four hours; if he doesn’t apologize to me and pay me three million, then I will take this hard disk to your TV station tomorrow and reveal his ugly side!"
The man looked at Wu Bin.
"Wu Bin, if you dare, come to the TV station tomorrow and confront me face to face. I want everyone to see whether someone like you deserves to be the spokesperson for Agricultural University’s image!"
After saying this, the man turned around and left with the hard disk.
His steps were firm as if he already held the winning ticket before this so-called confrontation had even begun.
Watching the man leave, He Bingbing asked worriedly, "Wu Bin, do you need legal aid?"
"If you do, our TV station can provide help free of charge."
After spending time with Wu Bin, He Bingbing was convinced that Wu Bin was a good person.
No matter whether now or in the past, Wu Bin would never do anything illegal or undisciplined.
Wu Bin shook his head and said very calmly, "No need; he’s just a clown jumping on the beam. There’s no need to hire a lawyer."
After saying this, Wu Bin suddenly felt a pain in his stomach.
Wu Bin immediately became alert.
Damn, could it be that he was about to have an attack?
Thinking that he had chosen a basic illness this time, Wu Bin started to panic.
Because there were just too many basic illnesses, and he didn’t even have a chance to prepare in advance.
"Wu Bin, what’s wrong with you?"
Noticing that something was off about Wu Bin, He Bingbing quickly inquired.
Wu Bin waved his hand.
"It’s nothing, just a bit of stomach discomfort. I’ll be fine after some rest."
The sudden visit from the man at the school actually hadn’t affected Wu Bin personally that much.
But it caused quite a stir online.
…
After Wu Bin got back to his dormitory, he started on his business plan.
Previously, with just a few hundred thousand, Wu Bin always worried about insufficient funds.
But Wu Bin’s account already had several million in it, which was definitely enough as the initial startup capital for Wu Bin’s entrepreneurship.
Following the contact Song Bing had previously recommended, Wu Bin proactively added someone’s chat account.
The person’s nickname was "Hooligan Rabbit", but the avatar was a woman wearing bunny ears, showing off a pair of stocking-clad long legs, with a phone covering her face.
Having seen countless people, Wu Bin knew immediately from the nickname and avatar that the person was definitely a bashful man.
But this also fit his own stereotype of tech guys.
The more skilled they are with computers, the more they are like bananas, consistent inside and out.
As soon as Wu Bin added the friend, the other party immediately sent Wu Bin a message.
"Holy shit, Brother Wu, you actually added me!"
Wu Bin sent back a smiling emoji.
Because Song Bing had already reminded him that this Hooligan Rabbit was not only a computer expert but also a fan of his, the obsessive diehard kind.
So as an idol, Wu Bin naturally wanted to give a friendly first impression.
But as soon as he sent the smiling emoji, the other person sent over a string of question marks.
"Brother Wu, why are you cursing at me?"
Seeing this, Wu Bin was startled for a moment.
He was clearly trying to show goodwill. How did it turn into cursing?
It just so happened that Song Bing walked behind Wu Bin.
Seeing their conversation, Song Bing couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.
"Old Wu, are you out of your mind? Don’t you know nowadays sending a smiling emoji means cursing at someone? How long has it been since you went online?"
Reminded by Song Bing like this, Wu Bin then remembered.
Back when he was a corporate drone in his previous life, as a minor leader sending messages to young subordinates, he had received the same reaction.
It wasn’t that Wu Bin couldn’t keep up with the times; it was just that he spent most of his time on work and study, with no time to check out short videos and the like.
So he was completely unaware of the latest popular jokes online.
Realizing he had used the wrong emoji, Wu Bin typed out an explanation to Hooligan Rabbit, saying that he had only intended to express goodwill.
Hooligan Rabbit was quite magnanimous and replied with a smiley face as well.
"No worries, Brother Wu. Since you’re my idol, it’s no crime not to know. Let’s just communicate like this from now on."
Looking at the stiff smiling emoji on the screen, Wu Bin felt more and more awkward.
No wonder the other person thought he was cursing.
Indeed, Old Ma made that micro-expression far too perfunctory!
"Brother Wu, I heard you want to make a website? What kind do you want to build? I can do them all."
Hooligan Rabbit said, sending over a price list.
Forums, search engines, stick bars, personal web pages, blogs, online albums...
The price list had over a dozen items, all clearly priced.
This indicated that Hooligan Rabbit wasn’t new to this kind of business.
After thinking for a while, Wu Bin said, "I want to start with a short video site, can you do that?"
"Short videos, huh."
Hooligan Rabbit was somewhat reluctant.
"The short video field is quite competitive now. Making such a site, there’s a high chance we won’t make any money."
Hooligan Rabbit kindly reminded him.
After all, Wu Bin was his idol, and he didn’t want Wu Bin to fail in his venture and lose five million straight away.
