“All, youth is wonderful,” Wu Mingtao, lying in the bed next to him, sighed as the doctor left.
“What’s the matter, old Wu, you really think you’re old now?” Bi Fang dressed himself, chuckling.
Having been hospital mates for two days, their relationship had developed nicely, free of the tension that existed when they faced off against the wolf pack.
Friendship between men can sometimes be that simple and direct.
“How could that be, I have nearly thirty years till retirement,” Wu Mingtao denied vehemently, then turned to ask, “Are you leaving?”
“Yes, since there’s no issue with my wound, I don’t want to stay in the hospital, and since I can get vaccinated anywhere, going back works too.” Bi Fang was already packing his things.
Wu Mingtao nodded; that made sense.
“Then you can rest easy. Once my injury heals, I’ll start writing straightaway
and publish your experience. It’s guaranteed to go viral!”
“Remember to make the pictures look cool.”
“Of course!” Wu Mingtao laughed heartily.
After stepping out of the sickroom, Bi Fang greeted the two bodyguards waiting by the door.
“Let’s go.”
Journalists hadn’t been able to find Bi Fang for two consecutive days and had already left. These two bodyguards were left to escort Bi Fang to his appointment in the Magic Capital.
The afternoon before, Lin Chang had made contact with him and discussed having a meal together. Bi Fang didn’t refuse. The other party was clearly serious, and Bi Fang thought it was good to have one more friend, one more path, so he agreed right away.
Although Shenhua’s headquarters was in Shenchuan, they also had a substantial branch in the Magic Capital.
On the airplane, Bi Fang used a bodyguard’s phone to check his B Island page and found that the video he had edited and posted with the System the day before had already reached over three hundred million views; even his follower count had soared to nearly three hundred thousand.
And this wasn’t even the premiere!
Bi Fang was thrilled; more fans meant more people loved Wilderness Survivalist. It seemed that despite some cultural and entertainment differences between the two worlds, the love for survival programs was the same.
After getting off the plane, Bi Fang saw that the entourage that came to pick him up was not small.
He could tell from those cars’ license plates alone that it was something impressive; a crowd gathered around, pointing and discussing, assuming some big shot had arrived. They had only seen such plate numbers on television.
But when Bi Fang thought of Lin Chang’s identity, he understood.
Even though Shenhua wasn’t publicly traded, there had always been rumors that Shenhua Group was actually a special “state-owned enterprise.
A military-industrial enterprise with a solid lineage.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t always be private.
At that moment, Lin Chang and Lin Xue also got out of the car, which shocked the onlookers gathered around the vehicles. They hadn’t expected such imposing cars to be carrying two young people; they thought they were some sort of leaders.
Many people took out their phones to take pictures, and they were even more stunned by the next scene because the people being greeted were even younger.
“Who is that? A celebrity?”
“Seems like it, pretty handsome.”
“Could be some rich second generation, perhaps?”
“I don’t think so, it’s probably a celebrity. He looks somewhat familiar.” “Then he must be a celebrity, right? Otherwise, we wouldn’t recognize him.” The crowd buzzed with speculation, but no one could pin down Bi Fang’s identity.
As soon as Lin Chang got out of the car, he headed straight for Bi Fang with a bear hug.
This enthusiastic attitude caught Bi Fang by surprise.
“Finally, we meet again, Bi Fang.”
“Come on, didn’t we just meet a few days ago?” Bi Fang said with a laugh.
“Brother Fang, you don’t know, right after my brother went back the day before yesterday, he watched your last Wilderness Survivalist video and immediately became a fan,” Lin Xue laughed, covering her mouth.
“Really? Are you just saying that to be nice?” Bi Fang raised an eyebrow, somewhat disbelieving.
“Of course, it’s true.” Seeing Bi Fang’s disbelief, Lin Chang put on a serious face and immediately reached for his phone to prove it, “I’ve followed all your accounts, Weibo, Douyin, and even B Island, not a single one missed!
“Alright, alright, I believe you!” Bi Fang stopped Lin Chang, who was still trying to show evidence, feeling somewhat moved, “I never expected people like you to enjoy scrolling through these things.”
“What do you mean ‘people like us’? We’re ordinary people, alright? We have our own personal hobbies. Otherwise, my sister wouldn’t have gone to work for National Geographic.”
“If that’s the case, then I’ll give you a little fan benefit.” Seeing that Lin Chang seemed to be serious, Bi Fang opened his backpack, picked out two of the larger Wolf Fang teeth, and handed them to Lin Chang.
“Hey, weren’t you saying in your live stream that you were going to have a giveaway? Isn’t this like a backdoor deal?” Lin Chang’s face lit up as he accepted the two big Wolf Fang teeth.
“What? You don’t like it? If you don’t like it, then give them back to me, whether you’ll win in the giveaway later will depend on your luck,” Bi Fang pretended to take back the wolf teeth, but Lin Chang quickly blocked him.
“No, no, no, of course I’m happy,” Lin Chang said, while slipping the Wolf Fang teeth into his pocket.
One thing’s for sure, whether Lin Chang was being genuine or putting on an act, he had absolutely none of that airs of a rich heir, making him feel just like a normal friend.
And Lin Xue wasn’t bad either, she was very beautiful and strong.
It seems Lin Zhengnan really knew how to educate his children, otherwise, they wouldn’t all be so outstanding.
“Alright, let’s talk in the car; dad has been waiting for a while,” Lin Xue said. Hearing this, Bi Fang and Lin Chang stopped chatting and got into the car directly.
They were then escorted away, surrounded by the rest of the motorcade. Normally, for a business tycoon like Lin Zhengnan, many people would queue up hoping to pay for the chance to have a meal with him, with no path to do so. Now that Bi Fang had this opportunity, no doubt countless people would be green with envy.
But he himself didn’t feel that way at all. In the first place, their industries were so different that unless he offended Lin Zhengnan, they would never cross paths.
Bi Fang also didn’t think he needed anything from Lin Zhengnan; he genuinely considered the meal as nothing more than a thank-you dinner.
That’s why Lin Zhengnan was quite surprised when they first met, as very few young people could face him with such calm composure. Even the executives of his company were very restrained around him, but Bi Fang seemed to treat their status as equal right from the start.
Of course, Lin Zhengnan didn’t really think he was superior to others, but that’s just the way things were.
“Truly a young talent!” Lin Zhengnan came forward, shaking Bi Fang’s hand, feeling emotional, “No wonder you were so calm and composed in such a critical moment. It’s really all thanks to Mr. Bi that Xue survived.”
“No, please, just call me Bi Fang,” Bi Fang waved his hand. While he wasn’t intimidated by Lin Zhengnan, respect was another matter entirely. After all, the man was an elder; being called ‘Mister’ was too much for him to accept. Seeing this, Lin Zhengnan was even more pleased and promptly invited Bi Fang to take a seat.
The dishes were served one after another.
Lin Zhengnan called out, “Come on, Bi Fang, see how our chef does. Let’s see if it’s as delicious as the food you eat in the wilderness.
Bi Fang didn’t stand on ceremony and began eating with everyone else. At the dinner table, Lin Zhengnan and Bi Fang talked happily until Lin Zhengnan mentioned the recent state of his company, which made him even more interested in Bi Fang..
