Lin Shiyin got off the plane with a flushed face and said, ”In three days, I’m going to participate in a guzheng competition. Can you cheer for me?”

Ye Chen nodded, ”No problem, I’ll drive over to pick you up when the time comes.”

After saying goodbye to Lin Shiyin, Ye Chen called both Su Wanyi and Lin Wanrou.

Having not seen them for so long, he missed the two girls very much and invited them out for a meal.

Driving, he picked up the two of them.

Lin Wanrou giggled, ”By the way, I know a little music pub in Modu, there’s a band singing inside, the atmosphere is so good.”

Ye Chen nodded along after listening, ”Okay, let’s go there.”

Driving, they arrived at the pub.

The interior design was very avant-garde, and in front of the dining tables was a stage where several youngsters were singing.

The three of them ordered a few snacks, chatted while eating, and listened to the music.

I have to say, the ambiance here is really nice.

After a song finished, several singers stepped off the stage for a break.

Ye Chen smiled and asked Lin Wanrou and Su Wanyi.

”Do you want to hear me sing?”

”Of course we do.”

Upon hearing Ye Chen was about to sing, the two girls got very excited.

Ye Chen walked onto the stage and said to a staff member, ”Can I use the stage to sing a song for these two ladies?”

The staff member smiled, ”Of course you can.”

Ye Chen picked up a guitar and activated the Guitar Master skills.

As Ye Chen strummed the guitar strings, a beautiful melody flowed out.

In an instant, the somewhat noisy little pub suddenly became quiet.

Oh my, this song is just so beautiful.

Everyone in the pub was captivated by this music.

Especially the lyrics, they were simply too beautiful.

Lin Wanrou and Su Wanyi, the two beauties, were completely moved by Ye Chen’s song.

Su Wanyi was even moved to tears.

Once Ye Chen finished singing, thunderous applause erupted at the scene.

Many people were moved, their eyes tinted red.

Su Wanyi said, ”Honey, I love this song so much, record it for me later, I want it as my ringtone.”

”I want it too,” Lin Wanrou chimed in.

”Alright, alright, I’ll specially record it for you both, how about that.”

At this moment, the lead singer in the pub excitedly said, ”Sir, can you sell this song’s rights to me? I’ll pay a hundred thousand.”

Ye Chen shook his head, ”I won’t sell the song’s rights, but you can sing it in the bar, just make sure it doesn’t go online.”

”Alright,” the singer reluctantly nodded.

After having supper, Ye Chen first drove Su Wanyi home, then headed back to Hua Mansion.

Ye Chen smiled warmly at Wanrou, ”Did you miss me?”

”Of course I did.”

”How about we take a bath together, and then...”

Lin Wanrou’s pretty face reddened, ”You big rascal, just got back and you...”

The next day, Ye Chen just woke up and saw a news headline.

DiDi Brother bravely fought against a thug, seriously injured.

Seeing this news, Ye Chen was dumbfounded.

When was I ever seriously injured?

Turns out, a friend of the community security guard was an internet celebrity.

While chatting last night, he heard about this news.

Because a recent incident of a brave act leading to arrest had blown up online, he saw the news spot.

Not knowing the details, he could only imagine.

Following the usual pattern, DiDi Brother’s heroic act was surely an intense story.

Bravely fought the thug, seriously injured.

So, he posted a picture of a bloodied DiDi Brother online, then wrote a poignant heroic story.

”DiDi Brother, good job.”

”This is the positive energy our society needs.”

”I just want to know if the thug was caught.”

”Last time, my bag was snatched while so many people were watching. I wish I had met DiDi Brother.”

Ye Chen glanced at the news, feeling quite bored.

At this moment, Modu TV Station’s director of the social life program also saw the news.

This is a great news point.

His eyes lit up, inspired.

We must interview that DiDi Brother.

He called in the host Brother Le.

Brother Le’s show ”Brother Le Talks” is influential.

”Brother Le, this topic is great, you must interview DiDi Brother, ideally use this opportunity to highlight DiDi Brother’s hardships, make his life sound as tough as possible, then add this heroic video, the impact will be incredible.”

”Alright, leave it to me. By the way, did that heroic DiDi Brother die?”

”Probably not, this was reported by an internet celebrity, you should verify with the police for authenticity.”

”Got it, I’ll go take care of it. If he died, the effect when broadcast will be even better.”

Soon, Brother Le led a team of photographers to the police station.

After verification, it turned out to be true.

Brother Le immediately got excited. If the program airs as designed, it will surely hit big.

Unfortunately, the officer on duty wasn’t present, so they had to drive to the detention center to interview the criminal.

Li the Third sat on the interrogation chair, handcuffed.

Brother Le asked, ”Mr. Li the Third, can you tell me how you snatched the bag, how DiDi Brother fought you bare-handed, and how you resisted and injured him, then got caught?”

Li the Third lifted his head and glanced at Brother Le with a dazed expression.

”Bare-handed fighting? Resisting?”

”I dare to resist? What a joke.”

Brother Le was momentarily stunned.

The story’s tone doesn’t quite match.

”Mr. Li the Third, we are conducting an interview, and the content may be broadcast on television. Please tell the truth, alright?”

”I’m speaking the truth. I snatched the bag and rode my motorcycle to escape. That scary DiDi Brother...”

Brother Le and the photographer glanced at each other.

Is Li the Third mentally unstable today?

Leaving the detention center, Brother Le frowned, this segment can’t be used.

Kidding, if this airs, it’ll be a joke!

”Alright, let’s interview some DiDi drivers.”

Along the way, Brother Le interviewed a few DiDi drivers.

”DiDi Brother, do you think driving DiDi is tough?”

”Of course it’s tough, driving for seven or eight hours a day, plus some customers might deliberately give us a hard time and bad reviews.”

”Driving DiDi, your income is low, right?”

Brother Le kept leading the conversation, wanting to show how tough DiDi drivers had it.

In his view, the tougher DiDi Brother’s interview, the better the effect.

”After deducting fuel and daily expenses, there’s not much left. You can’t save much in a year.”

”With such little income, is it easy to find a girlfriend?”

The DiDi Brother being interviewed was about one and a half meters tall, with a crooked mouth and squinty eyes.

”Not easy at all, no girls fancy me.”

But Brother Le twisted the narrative, attributing the difficulty of finding partners to DiDi Brothers.

After the interview, Brother Le held the microphone to make a concluding speech.

”Dear audience, now you know how tough DiDi Brothers have it. We should give them more care. Just yesterday, a DiDi Brother bravely fought against a thug, helped a customer retrieve their lost items, and caught the thug. Now, let’s head to Wanyuan Manor, the origin site, to interview the security guard and learn about the situation that day.”

For broadcast effect, Brother Le purposely took a DiDi ride.
