"Hello everyone, I'm Chao Ge, and today I'm taking you to explore the old streets of Rongcheng."
A stylish young man, holding his phone, was constantly talking to the camera.
People passing by cast curious glances at him, but the young man paid them no mind.
He was an outdoor streamer, and being stared at was something he was long accustomed to.
Nowadays, many young people enjoyed being streamers because if they became popular, they could earn a lot of money.
Chao Ge continued to walk and talk, and before long, he suddenly spotted a place where a large crowd had gathered.
"Chao Ge, let's go take a look. Is it some old, established shop? If it's something delicious, I'll go another day."
"This place is rundown, what good could be here? Perhaps something happened inside."
"Oh, won't we know once Chao Ge goes to see?"
Lines of comments scrolled across the screen of the phone Chao Ge was holding.
The audience was God, and besides, Chao Ge, being a streamer, naturally hoped for something interesting to appear.
So Chao Ge replied to his phone, "As you wish," and then walked towards the crowd.
"Miss, what's going on in here? Why are so many people gathered?"
After walking over, Chao Ge picked out a woman who looked slightly older than him and was reasonably attractive, and asked her.
The woman turned her head, and upon seeing Chao Ge pointing his phone at her, she immediately covered her face.
After all, many ordinary people were not accustomed to being filmed with a phone.
"You're not from around here, are you? This is a traditional Chinese medicine clinic opened by Dr. Du. Speaking of Dr. Du, he's a renowned physician, famous far and wide. No illness is too difficult for him to cure."
A kind-hearted elderly lady from the vicinity answered.
However, the old lady's words caused Chao Ge's phone screen to explode with comments.
"Miracle doctor? This old lady has probably been fooled."
"Exactly, where are these miracle doctors? Besides, if they had such high medical skills, why would they be holed up in this old neighborhood? If they opened a private clinic in any city center, the income would be tens of times higher than here!"
"Definitely a scam. These people queuing up have probably all been deceived."
"Right, right. Chao Ge, hurry up and expose this charlatan for the sake of the common people."
Chao Ge smiled happily as he saw the growing viewership and the explosive comments in his live stream.
He never expected to gain such popularity by live-streaming in such a neglected area. It seemed he should explore more niche streaming locations in the future, and perhaps his popularity could reach new heights.
After filming for a full half hour, Chao Ge finally entered the Chinese medicine clinic.
As he walked in, he began to film around with his phone, allowing the viewers in the live stream to see the scene clearly.
"What are you filming?"
Just as Chao Ge was filming, someone suddenly walked up and stopped him.
Chao Ge turned his head and saw a young woman, who was quite good-looking. He smiled and said, "I'm an outdoor streamer, broadcasting live for everyone. Miss, would you like to say a few words to my viewers?"
Then, Chao Ge turned his phone, pointing the camera at the young woman.
The young woman didn't expect Chao Ge to point the camera directly at her and pushed his phone away with her hand.
*Clatter.*
Chao Ge also didn't expect her to push his phone away. He lost his grip, and the phone fell directly to the ground.
By the time Chao Ge quickly picked it up, a large crack had already appeared across the screen, clearly broken.
"What the hell! What are you doing, woman? You broke my phone!"
Chao Ge looked at his cracked phone, then thought about the explosive popularity he had just gained, and anger surged within him.
The young woman also didn't expect Chao Ge's phone to break. She stammered, "Who, who told you to point your phone directly at my face? I didn't do it on purpose. At worst, I'll pay for it."
Although the situation was partly Chao Ge's fault, the young woman had a good temper and felt responsible for Chao Ge's phone breaking, so she was willing to compensate him.
Unexpectedly, Chao Ge snorted coldly, "Alright then, pay me twenty thousand yuan."
"What? Your phone costs twenty thousand yuan?"
The young woman had expected it to be a few thousand at most. She never imagined Chao Ge would demand twenty thousand yuan.
A few thousand, she might have managed to pay if she gritted her teeth, but twenty thousand yuan was several months' salary for her. Moreover, with her mother in poor health and unable to work, all the household income relied on her. She had no savings and no idea where she would get twenty thousand yuan.
Chao Ge pointed at his phone and said, "This is the latest model Apple phone, and on top of that, my live stream was so popular just now, and you interrupted it. You have to compensate me for my loss of viewership. Twenty thousand yuan is already a very low price. You're trying to default on the payment, aren't you? Fine, I'll film you and put it online later, and then we'll see if you pay!"
In reality, Chao Ge's phone had been used for some time, and he had bought it second-hand specifically for live streaming. It wasn't worth that much money at all. He was purely taking advantage of the young woman's perceived vulnerability and making an exorbitant demand.
Hearing that she couldn't afford to pay, he immediately threatened to post her picture online.
"Wenshan, what's wrong?"
Just then, someone walked towards them.
Chao Ge's eyes lit up when he saw that the person approaching was a stunning beauty.
However, the beauty didn't even glance at him and went directly to Wenshan, who was opposite him.
"Zhongling, just now..."
The person who walked up to Xu Wenshan was Wang Zhongling.
She had been idly scrolling through her phone. Since most of the work of dispensing medicine had been handed over to Xu Wenshan and Du Dabao, she had gradually started to see patients herself.
However, there were few patients at the moment, and since these individuals had specifically requested to see Du Fei, Wang Zhongling was happy to have some leisure time.
But she didn't expect Xu Wenshan to seem to be in a dispute with someone, so Wang Zhongling quickly came over to see what was happening.
After listening to Xu Wenshan's explanation, Wang Zhongling stared at Chao Ge with her large, clear eyes and said, "You fellow, you actually have the nerve to demand compensation? You pointed your phone at the young lady without a word, and you're even threatening to post Wenshan's picture online? Do you believe I'll find a lawyer and sue you for extortion? Get lost! You're not welcome here."
Compared to Xu Wenshan, Wang Zhongling was completely different.
Firstly, Wang Zhongling had an outgoing personality. Secondly, Wang Zhongling came from a well-off family and had been exposed to more things, unlike Xu Wenshan, who was intimidated by a few words.
To her, Chao Ge had first violated Xu Wenshan's right to privacy. If he were truly sued by a lawyer, Chao Ge would undoubtedly be in deep trouble.
Chao Ge had initially intended to try and get close to this beautiful woman, Wang Zhongling.
But he had no idea that Wang Zhongling would be so difficult to deal with, chasing him away with just a few words.
Hearing Wang Zhongling's stern tone, Chao Ge knew that she was not someone to be trifled with. So, after uttering a few harsh words, he fled.
