More than ten days later.

Lin Fan was looking at the news. At this moment, a particular piece of news made him a little surprised.

“D*mn, they lost.”

Fraud Tian was puzzled. “Who lost?”

Lin Fan said, “I’m talking about table tennis. Our country lost to Japan. This is f*cking illogical.”

“If it’s a loss, it’s a loss. Isn’t that how competitions are? It’s only interesting if there are losses and wins.” Fraud Tian didn’t usually pay much attention to table tennis and he felt that this was very normal in a competition.

Lin Fan looked at the news headlines.

‘Asian Championships: Japanese athlete, Zhenping Yiming wins World Number 3, Xu Song.’

‘Chinese table tennis athlete, Bao Fu Zhong is beaten by Japan.’

Looking at these headlines was eye-piercing.

Then, he took a look at the comments.

“Chinese table tennis has never lost in the past and it makes people restless. It’s fine to lose once in a while.”

These comments were very positive. It was indeed not a big deal. However, the following comments were not the same.

“Xu Song was always bad but he still keeps participating in competitions. I think he’s taking backdoors. He ought to be kicked out.”

“This coach has problems. He has never understood anything but he acts like he does. It’s a f*cking miracle that they’ve managed to win in the past.”

“Xu Song is really an idiot. He doesn’t usually win but after winning a few times, he became cocky. Now, he has to kneel down.”

“This is rubbish. How embarrassing.”

“It’s actually a good thing. This will let him know his own shortcomings, so that he can work harder in future.”

“Can you guys stop scolding him? When he wins, you guys call him Daddy but when he loses, you flame him. No one can keep on winning without losing in sports competitions.”

The discussions on the Internet were very intense.

Lin Fan didn’t think too much. He felt that losing once was no big deal but this news was a little exaggerated. It was as if they were putting all the blame on the athletes.

Then, he went to Xu Song’s Weibo to take a look.

Indeed, under the pressure of the public opinions, Xu Song had apologized on Weibo.

Xu Song: I’m sorry to my countrymen who have always supported me. I’ve let you down this time. Because of an issue with my body, I didn’t manage to play to my best ability. However, this is not an excuse. I will accept this lesson and work on my shortcomings. Thank you.”

“F*ck off! Just because you lost, you’re saying that you have an issue with your body. Can you look for some other excuse?”

“Hurry up and give your place to more impressive people. You’ve been in your position for too long. Is it even meaningful?”

“Is it because you’ve started dating that you’ve spent all your energy elsewhere?”

“Just after you’ve achieved results, you start dating and looking for girls. What scum.”

“Work hard! I’ll always support you. Losing once is no big deal. Ignore those idiots above.”

There weren’t many supporters and most of the comments were from haters.

Lin Fan then posted something on Weibo.

“Work hard. It’s normal for there to be wins and losses in sports competitions. It’s fine as long as you win it back next time.”

After this Weibo post was uploaded, it instantly got a reply from Xu Song.

Clearly, Xu Song had been observing the situation on the Internet the whole time. Especially when he saw the netizens flaming him, he probably felt very bad.

After all, he was human and his heart wasn’t made of steel. How could he stay unaffected?

Xu Song: “Thank you for your support, Master Lin. I will continue to work hard. I won’t let you all down next time.”

Because Lin Fan had posted it, his loyal fans naturally kept up the momentum.

Regardless of whether they had any interest in table tennis or not, they saw that their idol had voiced out his support, so they definitely had to send a wave of support as well, suppressing all those haters.

Looking at this situation, Lin Fan chuckled. He didn’t mind this at all.

His fans were all like himself. They were all righteous and they all had forgiving hearts. They couldn’t be compared to those anti-fans.

But then, he saw another piece of news that made him displeased.

These were words that the reporters quoted from the Japanese.

“The World’s undefeated Chinese team has been beaten stupid by us in this competition, hahaha…”

“We’re finally rising up. We’ll brutally beat those Chinese to tears.”

“Let those Chinese people be cocky. Now that they’ve lost, they must feel like crying.”

“We’ve lost to you all in the past, not because we weren’t as good as you but because we were raising your spirits. Like feeding a pig, we’ve fed you until you’ve become fat and we’ll eat you up in one go.”

“Zhenping Yiming is amazing! Teach the Chinese a good lesson. Let them know our power.”

Lin Fan pursed his lips. Just after winning once, they were being so unbridled. They were bragging enough to last a lifetime.

The next day!

When Lin Fan reached Cloud Street, a phone call came.

When he saw his phone display, he saw that it was Director Liu. Lin Fan felt that there must have been something that required his help, otherwise, Director Liu wouldn’t have called him.

“Hello, Director Liu, what’s up?”

Director Liu, who was on the other end of the call, was all smiles as if trying to seduce someone. “Master Lin, this is the situation. I’ve started a new sports show. This will be the first episode, so I would like to invite you to be a special guest to bring some popularity to our show. Of course, you don’t have to worry. As long as the first episode is good, if you are still interested, you can stay on afterward as well.”

“Sports show? I don’t know anything about sports,” said Lin Fan.

Director Liu said, “No problem. You’ll just be a special guest. Just sit there and say a few words occasionally and it’ll be fine. Don’t you know? Your ability to create hype is simply too strong. Please help us out. You will be paid well.”

Lin Fan pondered for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, “Alright, since Director Liu has personally asked, how could I reject? As for the pay, forget about it. I’m planning to only go on the first episode.”

“That’s great!” When Director Liu heard that, he instantly started smiling brilliantly. He felt that Master Lin was really loyal.

To Lin Fan, he had already received a $20,000,000 appearance fee from Director Liu the last time and it was sufficient. As for this show, he would just go on for one episode as a way of helping them out.

He would gain a friend and in turn, gain a new path from that.

They hung up.

Fraud Tian said enviously, “You’re going on TV again?”

Lin Fan saw Fraud Tian’s jealous expression and raised his head. “You’re right. I’m going on TV once again. How troublesome. I can’t really stand going on TV so much.”

Fraud Tian looked at Lin Fan with jealousy and envy in his heart. Why did no one invite him to go on TV programmes?

“Hey, where’s Elder Dog?” At that moment, Lin Fan realized that Elder Dog had disappeared again. It was only morning and Elder Dog had run off to god knows where.

Fraud Tian said, “I don’t know. He was still here earlier in the morning. How did he disappear in the blink of an eye?”

To Lin Fan, Elder Dog seemed to go out quite often. Could it be that he was going out to look for females again?

After giving birth, Sister Hong’s Flowers had recovered and she had been following Elder Dog since then. But looking at Sister Hong’s shop, Flowers was still inside playing around. There was no sign of Elder Dog.

At this moment, at a certain park.

“D*mn, this dog is amazing. It actually jumped into the river to save someone.”

“Whose dog is this? It’s way too strong and it can even hold its breath. It went into the water and pulled that person up.”

“I think I’ve seen this dog before. It has been on TV before.”

Elder Dog’s body was soaked and dripping. Then, he shook his body to shake his body dry.

Looking at the girl who he had saved, he left contently.

Just after coming out, he had already done a good deed. That was Elder Dog’s style.

Moreover, he wouldn’t care about whether other people stayed. He would just turn his head and leave.

There were still more things that he had to do. His righteousness would never disappear.
