Am I a crispy college student? The whole internet says that I'm hard to kill!

After leaving the hospital, Yin Shize returned to the Douyin headquarters and reported the matter to the big boss.

"Boss, Wu Bin has already been signed by the television station. I estimate that they will soon start promoting him heavily, which might have an adverse effect on us," he said.

Upon hearing Yin Shize's analysis, the big boss frowned and remained silent.

These years, traditional television programming had been losing viewers.

In this era of short, fast, and catchy videos, Douyin had found its fortune and dominance using this very principle.

Their original plan was to crush the television stations completely, and then turn around to acquire and cooperate with them.

But now, seemingly out of nowhere, a fragile university student had appeared, trending in the hot search rankings for two consecutive weeks.

Seeing Wu Bin's live broadcast room's popularity soar, the big boss was envious.

How did a Wu Bin suddenly appear and save the dying television station?

"Let them sign. After all, that university student can't be sick every day. I believe this popularity is only temporary," he said.

"While everyone's attention is on the university student, we can also start promoting a batch of our own up-and-coming live streamers."

Yin Shize quickly handed over a list that he had prepared earlier.

"Big boss, these are the three new live streamers we plan to push this month. Do you see any issues?" he asked.

The big boss glanced over it.

The three new live streamers were Beibei from the dance area, Fish General who does the social shake dance, and sports champion Geng Hao.

Their streaming data had been quite solid during this period, especially Fish General with his social shake. His fans were rapidly increasing, as it seemed young people nowadays enjoyed such rustic vibes.

"Alright, let's push these three this month. Give them a bit more resources and see if they can compete with that fragile university student," he said.

...

In the hospital room.

Since signing the contract with the television station, Wu Bin's bank account was filling up daily, which made him feel extremely good.

But as the day of his discharge approached, Wu Bin became more and more anxious.

He was aware that his next illness was a bone fracture, and he had also purchased "Chain Reaction"—if it were to trigger, he couldn't imagine how painful it would be.

"Wu Bin, you can be discharged now," said the nurse.

The nurse stood at the door and called out.

Wu Bin was reluctant.

"I'm good to leave already? Maybe you can give me another check-up?" he asked.

The nurse, who had gotten to know Wu Bin, said with a smile, "Aren't you going back to school? Hurry back to the university. The dean complains that you are occupying a hospital bed."

Wu Bin sighed.

If Li Guotai had said so, then it seemed he indeed no longer had any reason to keep sticking around in the hospital.

After changing out of his patient gown, Wu Bin slung his bag over his shoulder and walked out of the hospital.

He Bingbing and the filming team followed him the entire way.

Wu Bin was now the television station's ace, and the station had brought in a lot of equipment to enhance the live broadcasting effect.

"Bingbing, where's your car?" he asked.

He Bingbing said somewhat awkwardly, "Do you want to take our car back? I'm just worried…the same accident might happen again."

Wu Bin couldn't help but laugh.

"How could that possibly happen again? You all are following to film me; surely, you can't expect me to take a cab back to university?" he said.

"That's true. Just wait a moment; the car will be here soon," she replied.

Shortly after, the car arrived.

Wu Bin took the car back to the university and learned from the dormitory supervisor that it was class time.

Since He Bingbing and her team were live streaming the whole time, Wu Bin thought it over and decided he still needed to set a positive example for university students.

Deciding this, Wu Bin went directly to the teaching building.

"Reporting," he announced.

Wu Bin stood at the door, reporting to the teacher.

Teacher Wei Hong was startled upon seeing Wu Bin.

"Wu Bin, you've been discharged?" she exclaimed.

Wu Bin said with a smile, "Yeah, I just got discharged from the hospital today and came to class."

Wei Hong was panicking inside.

"If you were sick, you should have stayed in the dorm for a few more days. There was no need to come to class right after being discharged."

Wu Bin shook his head.

"Thank you for your concern, teacher, but as a university student, I still need to prioritize my studies."

Wei Hong was left with nothing to say to that, after all, you can't really refuse someone who wants to attend class, can you?

"Okay then, go ahead, but be careful."

Wei Hong watched Wu Bin with a tense face, even more worried than watching her own child walk.

As Wu Bin was looking for a seat, he didn't notice the step underfoot and almost stumbled.

Wei Hong turned pale with fright, and the surrounding students also gasped in alarm!

Seeing everyone looking at him with terrified faces, Wu Bin scratched his head.

"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Don't be afraid, everyone. I'm in good health now, there's no problem at all."

I don't believe you at all!

Wei Hong felt like she was about to have a heart attack from the scare.

Thankfully, Wu Bin took his seat without any mishap, which allowed Wei Hong to relax a bit and continue with the class.

Song Bing and Xue Gui came over.

"Look at you now, Wu! You take a tumble, and everyone's almost scared to death."

Wu Bin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Do you think I wanted this? No choice, I was born frail and sickly."

Xue Gui said, "Did you know the president applied for a direct Ph.D. placement for you?"

"Huh?"

Wu Bin shook his head: "I really didn't know about that, where did you get this news from?"

"Everyone's talking about it. It seems like the president mentioned it during a meeting. He said you're a talent and must be retained by the Agricultural University."

"Not just the direct Ph.D. placement, but you've also been assigned the best supervisor, and you can choose any research topic you want."

"Bro, you've made it big time!"

Wu Bin hadn't expected Xu Wenyao to go to such lengths to keep him.

It looked like he had misunderstood him before.

Wu Bin looked around the classroom and asked, "Where's Zhao Hao? Why haven't I seen him?"

Song Bing had a weird look on his face.

"What do you want with him? Aren't you guys enemies?"

Wu Bin said seriously, "Do I look like the kind of person who holds petty grudges? I mainly want to hear him call me 'Dad.' I missed it last time, felt like a loss."

As soon as Wu Bin said this, the viewers in the livestream went wild with laughter.

"Wu is so mean! Even at this time, he still remembers to have someone call him 'Dad.'

"That's how it should be. If it weren't for Wu, the situation would have been completely reversed."

"Indeed, that rich second generation's actions weren't upfront at all, I look down on him too!"

Wu Bin didn't have time to pay attention to the viewers' discussion.

He was still looking for Zhao Hao.

Song Bing said, "Stop looking, Zhao Hao transferred schools."

"Hmm?"

Wu Bin was surprised. "He transferred just like that? It's only about him calling me 'Dad'."

Xue Gui added from the side, "It's not just about calling you 'Dad.' Remember how Zhao Hao's mom was pointing at your nose and cursing you?

"The netizens couldn't stand it and directly went to the flagship store to leave malicious reviews, bought things and then returned them. Now Zhao Hao's dad's company has already lost a hundred thousand or so."

"You're their living dad now. Zhao Hao had to transfer schools."

Wu Bin couldn't help but laugh and gave a thumbs up to the camera.

"Netizens are awesome!"
