Zhu Qing’an thought he had heard wrong and frowned, “What did you just say?”

The professional butler smiled slightly: “Your foot is injured, Mr. Qin sent a car for us to take you home.”

Zhu Qing’an: “……”

When they said Mr. Qin, did they mean his paper man ……?

Zhu Qing’an：”!!!?”

He instantly fell into a state of shock and overwhelm, with wide round eyes, his hands going nowhere, and his speech faltered: “No …… this car, I can’t ride.”

The poor personality he had worked so hard to build up by picking up garbage and sleeping in cardboard boxes collapsed again the moment the limousine pulled up at his feet.

If he rode in that car again, he would never get his poor personality back.

Butler: “Mr. Zhu doesn’t like to ride in this car? There are many cars in the back, all different styles of luxury cars. Mr. Qin specially sent many cars over for you to choose and sit.”

Zhu Qing’an: “……”

Zhu Qing’an took a few steps back, clutched his garbage bag full of bottles, and prepared to run away.

The butler stared at him smilingly, “Mr. Zhu, where is your home? We’ll send you back.”

Zhu Qing’an was stunned and frowned in thought.

Then, under everyone’s gaze, he silently took a few steps backward, dragging a garbage bag full of plastic bottles crunching, and walked into a neighborhood garbage dump not far away.

Then he shrank and got into one of the large cardboard boxes.

He poked his head out of it, like a kitten keen to sleep in a cardboard box.

He muttered to the butler, “This is my home, I’m home, I don’t need a ride.” — This was really his home.

The neighborhood dump was clean, with no bugs or odors. The cardboard boxes were also clean and could have been used as a bed to sleep in.

In the cardboard box were his daily necessities: ointment and slippers, a small blanket.

Zhu Qing’an would lie comfortably in the cardboard box.

His poor man’s life, secure!

The live broadcast, the group of luxury cars, and the crowd of onlookers fell into a brief silence.

The butler was the first to break the silence, and he smiled awkwardly: “So Mr. Zhu’s home is nearby. …… So, shall we go back first?”

Zhu Qing’an was anxious for them to leave: “It’s okay, goodbye.”

The butler looked at the young man with a bit of heartache in his eyes.

He had heard from above that Mr. Qin had met a lovely little boy, but this little boy was so poor and poor.

But this child …… was so poor.

What did Mr. Qin do to him?

*

Xiao Ruiyu on the other side could not hear what Zhu Qing’an and the housekeeper were saying.

But he could barely guess the cause and result.

Zhu Qing’an didn’t like the surprising life of rich people. The people sent by his family to pick him up couldn’t resist his stubbornness, and after all, he refused to leave. They had no choice but to leave.

Xiao Ruiyu looked at the small head in the cardboard box and smiled lightly.

In fact, he was already tired of the rich life, but he couldn’t leave everything behind.

He had a good feeling and empathy for the young man who insisted on simplicity despite all odds like Zhu Qing’an.

“What a …… poor-chasing teenager.” Xiao Ruiyu said in a soft voice, “I like it.”

Li Tianqiu, who was standing beside Xiao Ruiyu: “……”

He had already heard the person he was trying to impress say twice that he liked Zhu Qing’an.

Li Tianqiu’s face was pale and his hands couldn’t stop trembling.

How, how could this happen?

“Brother Xiao …… “Li Tianqiu said softly, hoping that the other party would still notice his presence.

Xiao Ruiyu glanced at him: “Did you just say …… that Zhu Qingan’s family is poor? To imply that he is not worthy of my affection?”

Li Tianqiu paused, his face even paler.

“You guessed wrong.” Xiao Ruiyu took one look at the luxuriously dressed him and said in a cold voice, “I don’t like persecutors any more than poor kids. So, please leave.”

He could see that Xiao Ruiyu was tactfully reminding Li Tianqiu not to approach him again. He didn’t like him.

Li Tianqiu was wooden.

The scene, which happened to be filmed by a paparazzo hiding in the bushes, was uploaded to Weibo-.

The young star Li Tianqiu, who was greedy for resources and was courting movie stars, was rejected due to his personality.

*

The Poor Man had no idea that his god’s opinion of him had changed dramatically in a short period of time.

He was constantly turning over in the cardboard box and was annoyed.

Everyone else was annoyed because it cost too much money to feed their paper man.

He was annoyed because it cost too much money to feed him to the paper man.

A non-existent virtual character suddenly dropping big bucks on him for some reason made him panic and feel insecure. Normal games didn’t do that.

And ……

He was again on the hot search because of the luxury car incident.

Also on the hot search was Xiao Ruiyu’s golden phrase recorded by the paparazzi – “Poor-chasing poor teenager, I like it.”

A pile of echoing emojis were also released online.

The photo of Zhu Qing’an holding the Imperial Express with a confused look, and the photo of Zhu Qing’an facing the group of luxury cars and the respect of the butler, also confused and doubtful, were put together, with the text: [I really don’t have a group of luxury cars, I really didn’t receive the Imperial Express, I’m just a humble and simple poor chasing teenager].

Within one day, Zhu Qing’an’s popularity soared, which also brought fire to the variety show “Poorer Than Poor”.

Zhu Qing’an: “……”

He didn’t bother to go to the paper man for an explanation.

But if he thought about it, Qin Hengyi did nothing wrong.

Zhu Qing’an only asked Qin Hengyi not to send a courier over again.

He didn’t refuse a limousine.

He took a look at the Empire Express in the cardboard box, poked the package, and was unable to open it.

Zhu Qing’an shrank in the cardboard box and fell asleep in a daze.

“Brother? Wake up.”

The sweet voice woke up Zhu Qing’an.

He opened his eyes and saw a girl standing in front of him.

The little girl was no more than seven or eight years old, wearing a few pieces of cloth sewn into a dress, her hair and face puffy. She was clutching a bulging garbage bag in her small hands.

She blinked her watery eyes: “Eeeeh, brother, you’ll catch cold sleeping here.”

A five-year-old boy peeked out from behind the girl.

The boy was sobbing and crying for some reason.

The girl smiled apologetically, “This is my brother. We can’t even find food lately, and he’s so hungry …… that he can’t help but cry.”

Zhu Qing’an looked complicated.

If there was an emergency, the crew could have someone apply to take money out to buy something.

Zhu Qing’an went out to the supermarket outside the neighborhood and paid for a big bag of stuff with his light computer.

The girl and the little boy were still waiting nicely by the cardboard box.

Under their amazed eyes, Zhu Qing’an handed out a big bag of stuff: “I bought a lot of food, which is very healthy and can be eaten for a long time. You can also share it with the other children.”

The girl stammered as she saw so much food for the first time: “Thank you, thank you brother ……”

The boy couldn’t help but keep staring at the food: “Brother, can I eat it now?!”

“Of course.” Zhu Qing’an took another new item out of her pocket and slipped it to the boy, “But before and after eating, you have to take the stomach medicine first. To avoid starvation and stomach pain.”

“Thank you brother ……”

After they repeated their thanks for a long time, Zhu Qing’an couldn’t help but see them off.

Zhu Qing’an looked at their backs and sighed.

When he was a child, he was the same way.

When he met these poor children, he couldn’t help but help them.

Zhu Qingan ate the bread he had bought with his garbage money and wrapped himself in a blanket to go back to sleep.

*

In the grass.

Li Tianqiu looked at Zhu Qing’an’s big cardboard box, and then looked at his own light computer, and was very satisfied.

Zhu Qing’an had just met two children, both with sad faces, one of them was crying.

…… Li Tianqiu filmed this scene and then edited it. A video of Zhu Qing’an bullying a small child and crying had been forged.

What would happen if he posedt the fake video on Weibo? What would netizens think of Zhu Qing’an?

The more Li Tianqiu thought about it, the happier he became, so he registered a Weibo account and uploaded this video along with it —…

@ Explosive Devil: [Newcomer to the entertainment industry, Zhu Qing’an, blatantly bullied children at a variety shooting location.

The location shown in the video was in a poor neighborhood.

The other was crying like a baby. They were standing next to Zhu Qing’an, who was saying something to them, but netizens couldn’t hear them clearly.

Such a scene could easily lead people to believe that Zhu Qing’an was bullying children.

Zhu Qing’an was a regular on the recent hot search list and was a hot topic among netizens.

The tweets had just been sent out, and the clicks were building up.

–If an artist did something wrong, it was easy to attract public opinion from netizens. Not to mention bullying children.

Li Tianqiu switched off his light computer and left, while gloomily speculating about Zhu Qing’an’s expression when he saw the tweet.

*

The next morning.

“Ding–”

Zhu Qing’an woke up from the big cardboard box, he poked his head out and rubbed his eyes. He grabbed a disposable toothbrush and towel for three interstellar coins and headed to the nearby public sink.

When he came back from washing up, he noticed that the light computer in the cardboard box was ringing non-stop.

It was a communication call from the variety team.

With a frown on his brow, Zhu Qingan answered the phone. A slightly impatient female voice came from there: “Zhu Qing’an, something’s wrong with Weibo! People are discussing your bullying of kids on …… this? What’s going on? It also led to a bit of a ratings drop for the variety ……”

He was stunned. He hung up, opened Weibo, and went to the hot search list.

#Zhu Qing’an bullying children

This line jumped into his eyes unpreparedly.

Zhu Qingan: “……”

He was a bit helpless.

He couldn’t remember how many times he had been hacked.

Zhu Qingan simply switched off his light computer and didn’t want to bother about it.

–He hadn’t done anything wrong

He glanced at the Tudor Express beside him and remembered that there was a paper man waiting for him in the game.

He wasn’t online yesterday.

By some miracle, he couldn’t help but open the game.

Welcome to False Love!

Qin Hengyi sat on a pink chair covered with lace seat cushions, in front of a fan table filled with love puppets.

The tall and cold man, compared to the background, was very out of place …… and even a little spicy.

Zhu Qing’an scratched his head and finally decided to ask the man about yesterday’s incident: “Mr. Qin, did you send someone to pick me up yesterday?”

The man was silent for a long time and nodded.

This service was available in the Love Mall for one million yuan.

This little kid, whose foot was injured, refused to talk to him, and stubbornly held on ……

His heart was tugged, and he bought the service without hesitation.

He looked into the dark eyes of Zhu Qing’an’s kitten-like eyes and his heart softened.

The other party should be surprised and happy to know that someone was taking care of him and guarding him.

However, Zhu Qing’an was not happy at all.

Zhu Qing’an was even a little angry.

His poor man personality …… had …… turned over a cart.

But he still forced a smile, smiling and rejecting the man’s good intentions: “Thank you Mr. Qin, you really …… don’t have to help me like this in the future, I will be embarrassed.”

Qin Hengyi frowned.

This child ……

He was so shy that he was reluctant to even accept the help he deserved.

He laughed inwardly and did not respond to Zhu Qing’an’s rejection.

But his heart was even more determined to help Zhu Qing’an.

“An.” Qin Hengyi raised his eyes, his red eyes were still indifferent, and his voice was low and dark: “If you have any difficulties in the future, just talk to me.”

For the sake of the other party’s self-esteem, he did not pierce the other party’s unwillingness to let him help, but instead hinted at the other party in a different way –

“Huh?” The young man was confused for a moment, his cheeks reddening.

What was this paper man …… up to?

The man stared at him with a meaningful emotion, his deep blood-red eyes like a sharp knife, making Zhu Qing’an’s back swish with cold sweat.

Zhu Qing’an: “……”

Since the man with the piece of paper was forcing him to talk about his difficulties, Zhu Qingan forced himself to talk about the difficulties he was currently experiencing.

The young man’s cheeks grew redder and redder, his hand clutched the corner of his coat, and his voice was soft and warm, sounding cute.

“I helped two kids, but …… was told by others that I bullied them.”

He hung his head down, his fine soft black hair half-hiding his eyes, but he could still see the moisture in his eyes, hazy, like teardrops that were about to roll out.

“Mr. Qin …… “The teenager deflated his mouth and softly called out the man’s name. It was like a kitten waiting for its master to smooth its hair and comfort it.

Qin Hengyi listened to the pitiful voice of the teenager, his eyebrows squeezed, and his eyes flashed with a bit of hostility.

He leaned against the back of the chair, his tall shoulders making his whole body like a wall, protecting the child in front of him. After a long while, he spoke in a deep voice, still dark and unreadable in his emotions.

“Got it.”

*

After chatting with him about his daily life. The task of logging into the game every day was finally complete.

He took one look at the interaction value and closed the game with satisfaction.

Zhu Qingan did not expect the man to “do anything”.

He huddled in a cardboard box, felt the ragged fabric of his clothes, and glanced at the light computer screen.

Most of Zhu Qing’an’s fans were unaffected by the smear and were still supporting him.

[An is also the best chasing poor boy today!! [Dog head]]

[Ann is poor today, too!]

He looked at the pop-ups, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

He had asked the man to stop helping him …… the poor man set up, and perhaps could still be stable.

Zhu Qing’an looked at the live screen, he whispered back, “Well, thank you all for your support. I will try to chase the poor.”

The teenager wore tattered clothes, slept in a cardboard box at the dump, and earned his living by picking up trash.

If the paper man hadn’t done what he did, his persona as a young man chasing the poor would have been secure.

Zhu Qing’an dragged up the garbage bag and was about to pick up some bottles again to sell for money to eat.

But when he was about to turn off his light computer, it dinged …

Someone @ed at him.

@EmpireCharityAid: [ – @ZhuQingan bullying kids, it’s not real! We have received news that Zhu Qing’an has made an unconditional donation of 10 million interstellar coins to the Empire for the children in need. The children in the poor neighborhood where Mr. Zhu is currently located will also be helped. Such a person would never bully children, so let the innocent be innocent.

The message accompanied by a picture of Zhu Qing’an. –The poor boy who donated 10 million RMB to children’s charities would try his best to pursue poverty today!

But for a moment.

Another tweet appeared in the news.

It was an anonymous trumpet.

@Anonymous: [Truth. [Surveillance video]]

In the video were the two children who were rumored to have been “bullied by Zhu Qingan”.

However, the camera was no longer obscured but was directly in front of Zhu Qing’an and the children.

Zhu Qing’an didn’t make any action of bullying the children.

Instead, he took a big bag of extremely expensive food and handed it to the hungry children without hesitation. ……

At the same time.

Li Tianqiu, who was hiding in the bushes and shooting a fake video, was also caught on tape.

The netizens saw his ugly face.
