3 PM.
The broadcast started on time.
Millions of people tuned in to Lin Xiaozhe's live stream.
Many people were there to watch the spectacle, eager to see what kind of mental state Lin Xiaozhe, the popular anti-fraud livestreamer, would exhibit after being scammed out of millions in an online romance scam.
Dejected? Frustrated? Disappointed? Depressed? Down on their luck?
Both mentally and economically, many entertainers and haters hope to see all of this.
It's 3 o'clock, and the screen is still black.
[Open the door.]
[FBL room check, open the door.]
Check the water meter.
What do you say if you're three seconds late?
[Being three seconds late means working three hours of overtime, or I'll get angry.]
Only then did the camera finally get a shot, first zooming in on his face, and Lin Xiaozhe wiped the lens.
However, you can tell he's very hot right now, as he's covered in sweat.
Lin Xiaozhe sat on a small stool, with an electric fan blowing wildly beside him, and he also fanned himself with a fan.
Besides these, you can see that the ground is covered with very ordinary tiles, and the walls and windows behind it are typical of a rural courtyard.
"Hello everyone, I'm here."
"It's so hot today, 41 degrees Celsius, can you believe it?"
"I just cracked an egg into a pan and left it in the yard for five minutes. It's cooked now."
The haters and entertainers who had been waiting in the live stream for a long time started analyzing what Lin Xiaozhe showed in just one live stream shot.
This time I've really gone back to the village.
[The streamer has fallen on hard times; his family can't even afford an air conditioner anymore.]
[Ah, Lin Xiaozhe, you've finally met your match.]
Brothers, Xiaoze's current living conditions are similar to the old houses in my village, which shows that Xiaoze is really poor.
[This time, the haters weren't disappointed; the streamer is truly down on his luck. Fans, please send him a membership card!]
[One card per person so the streamer can buy an air conditioner.]
No, Lin Xiaozhe is destined to be poor. Giving him too much money isn't good for him. I suggest you give it to me.
Lin Xiaozhe saw a bunch of people having fun and haters getting excited in the comments section, and he laughed too.
"Actually, living in this kind of old courtyard is quite nice. After living in apartment buildings for so long, it's nice to change your lifestyle. I see a lot of people laughing about it, but I don't know what you're laughing about." Lin Xiaozhe frowned as he glanced at the comments.
The anchor is still being stubborn.
No amount of words can change the fact that you're down on your luck.
Tell me how much you owe, otherwise you wouldn't be hiding in this old house.
[I heard the streamer mortgaged his house; it seems it's true.]
The streamer said he likes living in old houses, and I laughed. Surely no one actually believes that.
Lin Xiaozhe shook his head speechlessly and continued calmly, "The biggest advantage of this place is that you can walk to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-raising ceremony in just a few minutes."
The number of comments in the live stream instantly decreased by more than half.
Someone who didn't know better might think it was stuck.
A few seconds later, the screen was filled with question marks.
【？？？】
Brothers, something feels off.
Oh no, could it be...?
[High-energy content predicted ahead, evacuate immediately!]
[Covering the retreat, an ambush, the cunning Lin Xiaozhe.]
Lin Xiaozhe didn't give the haters time to retreat; he took out his phone and immediately set a location.
"Sorry, the anchor is not down on his luck. He now lives in a courtyard house in Beijing, just one street away from the place where the national flag is raised."
"I'm sorry to disappoint the haters."
"Damn it, is this what I came here for?"
[Which bastard said he mortgaged the house?]
[He wasn't scammed out of millions, so how come he's getting richer and richer by scamming people?]
This is a traditional courtyard house! Even if you have money, you might not be able to buy it.
How did he do that?
[Holy crap, what happened to the promised entertainment? I've been feeling awful for days.]
K God: [Wow, he's living in a courtyard house now!]
Empress Liuyun: [Last time, my second uncle bought a courtyard house for 2 billion, and the renovation alone cost 300 million.]
Six Paths Demon Lord: [Damn it, the richer you are, the more you feel like we who give you gifts are clowns.]
Lin Xiaozhe smiled, and the camera panned to the courtyard. Although it couldn't compare to the luxurious house of Tang Pinyichen, it had a strong sense of home.
Lin Xiaozhe still really likes this place.
However, we need to install an air conditioner first. There's no need for a major renovation; as long as we can live here, that's fine. Lin Xiaozhe doesn't have high requirements.
Lin Xiaozhe is now planning to visit that hospital.
New Life Private Hospital in Beijing.
It's common for private hospitals to change owners, and many hospitals may be going out of business due to the sharp decline in newborns in recent years.
This morning, the doctors at the hospital were discussing how, less than three months after the last change of ownership, another new owner had taken over, and they wondered how long this new owner could last.
Many people are worried that the hospital might close down at any time, and many have already secretly looked for another hospital.
Yesterday, the boss called to say he would come to visit today. The attending physician at the hospital, Chang Jian, specially decorated the entire hospital with a large banner and balloons and other decorations.
Around 4 p.m., after receiving the message, Chang Jian and his men were already queuing at the entrance. Soon after, a Lamborghini drove into the hospital.
Security personnel opened the car door, and a young man dressed casually and looking very relaxed got out of the car with a smile. He was holding up his phone, seemingly live-streaming.
Upon seeing the person in front of them, some of the female nurses at the hospital covered their mouths and gasped in surprise.
Lin Xiaozhe has recently become a viral sensation, and even many people who don't watch live streams know who he is.
"Lin Xiaozhe!"
"The new boss is Lin Xiaozhe?"
"Is Lin Xiaozhe the anti-fraud anchor who was scammed out of millions?"
"It was him, what a surprise."
Many of the female nurses looked excited.
