Chapter 86: He Also Has Genuine Fans Now

Two hours later, the plane arrived at the capital airport.

When Fang Zhou’s feet touched the ground, he finally felt a sense of reality.

Finally leaving that terrifying island and returning to the embrace of Mother Earth, he felt so excited he almost wanted to jump.

As he exited the passage, planning to hail a cab, he noticed a group of people outside the railing, calling his name.

“Fang Zhou! Fang Zhou!”

Following the sound, he saw a group of girls, with a familiar-looking loli at the forefront.

Meichuan Kuchako? Oh no, Meichuan Meichuan, the little rich girl?

Seeing Fang Zhou’s attention, Meichuan Meichuan waved her hand even more enthusiastically.

“Here! Here!”

With a few strides, Fang Zhou walked out of the railing and was instantly surrounded by seven or eight fans.

Each person held something, eagerly stuffing them into his arms.

First, a bouquet from Meichuan Meichuan, then a blind box from another female fan, followed by cookies and other items.

Fang Zhou, overwhelmed, held a large pile of things, thanking and politely refusing at the same time.

“Thank you for your kindness, but please, take these back.”

But his enthusiastic fans wouldn’t listen, wanting to give him more.

Meichuan Meichuan, standing beside him, laughed and told him.

“We’ve formed a fan club just for you. From now on, fans will accompany you on your schedules!”

Isn’t this a celebrity thing?

Fang Zhou was flattered and quickly waved his hand, “No need, no need! This is too much trouble for you! I’m just an ordinary person; you don’t have to treat me like this.”

Even at the peak of his streaming days, the most he experienced was being recognized on the street and asked for a photo.

He had never seen such a grand scene, with a reception and a fan club.

Unexpectedly, after recording a romance show, he suddenly had genuine fans.

Fang Zhou feared he couldn’t handle it.

But Meichuan Meichuan tugged on his sleeve and whispered, “This is good for your streaming. Fans will gradually stabilize, and it’s all beneficial.”

Fang Zhou’s eyes lit up. Talking about streaming woke him up.

“What about fan management?”

He asked in a low voice.

Managing well was fine, but poorly managed fans could lead to conflicts, which he heard could be terrifying.

The little rich girl patted her chest, full of confidence.

“Don’t worry, with me here, nothing will go wrong! I’m the fan club president!”

Fang Zhou was amused by her demeanor. Someone took a picture of his smiling face, capturing the moment.

The photo soon became the profile picture in the super topic.

Finally reaching outside the airport, Fang Zhou was touched by his fans’ enthusiasm. Waving and thanking them from the car.

“Thank you for your kindness, but please, no need to bother next time. See you in the live stream!”

Meichuan Meichuan and the fans waved goodbye.

“Goodbye! See you in the live stream!”

The car sped away, leaving them with a dashing silhouette.

Sitting in the car, Fang Zhou was filled with emotions.

It turned out that joining the variety show wasn’t all bad.

As he thought about calling his sister to check if she was at the hospital or home, his phone suddenly showed a call from the show’s chief director.

Fang Zhou frowned, debating whether to answer.

He had only received half of the fifty thousand remuneration, not enough for his sister’s kidney transplant.

However, the two live broadcasts on the island, supported by the top two donors, had added nearly twenty thousand to his account, leaving him with over ten thousand after taxes.

Combined, it totaled over forty thousand, almost enough for his sister’s transplant.

Fang Zhou quickly decided not to return to the romance show!

Damn it, with four ex-girlfriends, three yanderes, and nearly getting stabbed, he was risking his life for money.

Now that the money was almost sufficient, Fang Zhou decided not to continue the show!

With newfound determination, Fang Zhou answered the director’s call, ready to decline the next episode. But the director dropped a bombshell.

“Hello? Fang Zhou, a GG sponsor contacted us, wanting to collaborate with you. Are you interested?”

GG sponsor? Isn’t that a major backer?

Swallowing his words, Fang Zhou changed his tune, “Hey, Director Liu, I’m interested! I’m interested!”

“Great, since you’re interested, I’ll send your WeChat to the GG sponsor. You’re the second one after SiSi to receive a business deal from the show. Impressive! I have high hopes for you!”

Fang Zhou smiled and flattered the director.

“Not at all, without you and the show, I wouldn’t be here! Thank you, I’ll treat you to drinks sometime!”

After a few polite exchanges, Fang Zhou hung up.

His decision to quit was swallowed back.

Not good, quitting would mean paying a penalty fee, and the contract was signed, possibly leading to bankruptcy.

Thinking of his troublesome ex-girlfriends, Fang Zhou felt a real headache.

Caught between a rock and a hard place.

But with a major backer interested, Fang Zhou felt he could manage.

The money for his sister’s kidney was enough, but the surgery and ongoing treatment costs were still daunting.

Better to capitalize on his current popularity and save more money.

As for the ex-girlfriends, he couldn’t provoke them but could avoid them.

If all else failed, he wouldn’t choose anyone, treating them equally.

Fang Zhou’s mind raced, his hand unconsciously rubbing something. Suddenly, his palm felt a prick.

Picking it up, he saw a cartoon figurine keychain encased in acrylic.

The figure, a cute boy with headphones holding a mouse, looked familiar?

Fang Zhou, puzzled, examined it closely and realized it resembled him.

The back even had the small characters “Fang Zhou.”

Looking at the carefully crafted miniature, he felt a warm flow in his heart. The fans really put effort into this.

Unexpectedly, he also experienced genuine affection from strangers without relying on gimmicks.

Fang Zhou looked out the window, the bustling cityscape clearly visible from the road.

For the first time, he felt the charm of this city he had no attachment to.

Inclusive, accommodating, offering everyone a chance to start over.

Even if you fall from the top, it still tells you: you can keep striving upwards.

How could one not be moved by this?

Fang Zhou looked out the window, contemplating his next move as the city buzzed around him.
