When he pushed open the door of the ward, he saw a middle-aged woman kneeling next to the bed in the room. Needless to say, it was Liu Fugui's wife.
At this moment, she cried at Liu Fugui with tears and snot all over her face and said with a trembling voice, "Old Liu, you can't drive a taxi anymore now. So, how will you be able to feed the family?"
After hearing his words, she started to cry even more pitifully.
"What are you so anxious about? I'll think of a way to earn more money when I get discharged from the hospital," Liu Fugui attempted to comfort his wife.
"You don't know anything other than driving. Where are you going to find another job?" The middle-aged woman then cried even louder.
Wu Tian coughed twice, interrupting the couple's conversation. He walked in and asked with a smile, "Uncle Liu, who is this?"
"She's my wife, Song Mei." After Liu Fugui said this, he quickly pointed at Wu Tian and introduced him to his wife: "This young man's name is Wu Tian, he helped me pay for my medical expenses and even helped me get a VIP ward."
"Thank you so much, benefactor." Song Mei wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and bowed slightly to thank Wu Tian.
"You're welcome."
Wu Tian helped Song Mei to sit on the chair and said, "Aunt, I plan to hire Uncle Liu to be my driver. I want to hear your opinion."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Big Boss, thank you so much. I was just worrying about how our Old Liu will find a job!" Song Mei exclaimed excitedly. Her tears started to roll down her cheeks again, but this time, as tears of joy.
"Uncle Liu, be my personal driver. The pay will be two hundred thousand yuan a year."
"What?" Song Mei was taken aback as she counted the number of digits with her fingers. She then said with an exaggerated tone, "You said that the pay will be two hundred thousand yuan a year?"
"Yes, your ears did not deceive you."
"Boss. No, Big Boss. Thank you so much," Song Mei said cheerfully upon hearing how much her husband would make a year — her words even became incoherent at times.
"In addition, I've also rented a house for you. Bring your entire family there to live. I'll help you settle the matter regarding your child's schooling and registration."
"Benefactor…"
Song Mei was so touched by his kind actions that her eyes flooded with tears. She then grabbed Wu Tian's arm and said, "You really are our benefactor."
"Uncle Liu saved me before, so this would only be a natural thing to do."
"You really are a kind-hearted person." Song Mei found it hard to hide her excitement as she turned around and said to Liu Fugui, "Old Liu, you're really lucky. Our family has met such an amiable, rich man this time."
"Yep." Liu Fugui nodded in his moment of exhiliration.
"You have to work well with the boss in the future. You have to repay him well."
"Alright, I'll definitely work well with Boss Wu." Liu Fugui lifted the quilt and got up from the bed. He then said to Wu Tian, "Boss Wu, I will be discharged today, so I can go to work immediately this afternoon."
"Don't be in such a hurry. Take a good rest..."
"I'm already fully recovered and will be discharged very soon." After Liu Fugui said this, he turned around and ordered his wife, "Hurry, go and complete the discharge procedures for me."
"Leave the matter regarding your discharge to me." After Wu Tian said this, he hurriedly ran out of the ward and helped Liu Fugui get discharged.
After completing the discharge procedures, he called Loong Yun to help Liu Fugui set up a household registration and arrange for his child to go to school.
After settling Liu Fugui and his family down, Wu Tian remembered that Azure Dragon was still hospitalized in this hospital, so he went to his ward on the way.
The moment he entered the ward, Azure Dragon kneeled down and said gratefully, "Thank you for saving my sister's life."
"Please get up." Wu Tian hurriedly helped Azure Dragon up from the ground and asked with concern, "How is your sister now?"
Previously, he had asked Loong Yun to find the most capable doctor and to transfer Azure Dragon's sister to the most suitable hospital for her treatment.
"My sister's condition has obviously improved, and she even has a chance to recover from her illness." The steel-like Azure Dragon's eyes soon overflowed with tears.
His little sister had been dependent on him ever since she was young. After all, she was his very own flesh and blood.
After finding out that his sister was diagnosed with a strange illness, his entire body had become agitated and fell into a crazed state. The reason why he picked up martial arts in the first place was to raise money to treat his sister's illness.
However, even when he fought all his life, he was still unable to gather enough money to pay for his sister's hospital fees.
Not only did Wu Tian help his sister pay off a large amount of her hospital bills, but he also helped her find a doctor capable enough to cure his sister's strange illness.
"That's good." Wu Tian patted Azure Dragon's shoulder and comforted him, "Your sister's disease is quite unique indeed. It might take a long time to treat but don't worry too much."
Azure Dragon bent his legs and he kneeled on the ground once again, "Thank you for saving my sister. I, Azure Dragon, am willing to serve and follow you for the rest of my life."
"Quickly stand up."
Wu Tian hurriedly helped Azure Dragon up, "Are you really willing to follow me?"
"Most certainly, yes."
"Alright, then we'll be brothers from now on."
"I will be your sword and also shield, dashing into the flames of your enemies without any hesitation."
"Come, follow me home." Wu Tian smiled with utter satisfaction. He then helped Azure Dragon get discharged from the hospital and led him to his place.
To him, being able to tame Azure Dragon was like possessing a powerful relic.
Knowing Azure Dragon's personality, Wu Tian knew that Azure Dragon would follow him with utmost loyalty until death as long as he could make Azure Dragon submit to him.
After settling Azure Dragon down, Wu Tian began practicing martial arts with Azure Dragon every day, wanting to become strong enough to protect the ones dear to him.
During the day, Wu Tian practiced martial arts; at night, he studied. During this time, he devoted all of his energy to practicing martial arts and learning more about earning money through various methods.
Under his painstaking training, his martial arts has certainly improved.
On one afternoon, he suddenly received a call from Sun Sheng, the owner of Seafood TV.
"Boss Wu," Sun Sheng greeted with a humble and respectful tone from the other end of the phone. "Do you have time to come out and have a meeting with me?"
"Director Sun, if you have something to say, then just say it through the phone." Wu Tian fell on the sofa and wiped the sweat off his neck.
He had just finished his training and had expended too much energy. Thus, at this moment, he felt weak and did not want to go anywhere.
"It's about our Seafood TV."
On the phone, Sun Sheng paused for a moment and continued, "Recently, the viewership on our platform has been declining, and the profits are getting smaller and smaller. I'm worried that we will be marginalized if this goes on."
"Why did this happen?"
Sun Sheng sighed and explained, "There are many other platforms attracting the attention of other great streamers. As the flow of viewership becomes more concentrated on other platforms, the smaller platforms will naturally die out due to the lack of viewers."
"You mean the streaming platform?"
"Yes, the bigger platforms have been using money to lure in famous streamers lately. Thus, we, as smaller platforms, have no chance of competing with them whatsoever."
"Is that so?" Wu Tian fell into deep thought.
Sun Sheng's words did make a lot of sense. Now that the competition on the live streaming platforms has reached its climax, using money to lure in the streamers would indeed be the fastest option to attract more viewers.
Without constant viewers, those platforms will only end up marginalized.
Thinking for a moment, Wu Tian said into the phone, "In this era, traffic is money. Thus, we can also try to buy out other streamers in order to bring in more traffic."
"Even if we had the money, those great streamers would definitely not come to our platform to live stream. After all, it would only cause them to lower their value.
"So you're saying that even if we spend money, we won't be able to lure in a great streamer?"
"It's not that we can't pull it off. It's just that we have to pay an even greater pricefor that to happen, and that'll be extremely disadvantageous for us in the long run."
"Makes sense." Wu Tian nodded in agreement. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he asked, "What do you think of Huang Lan?"
