Chapter 42: You have an eight-pack?

Qin Yanran, seeing the netizens' concerns, immediately posted a video announcing that she would personally visit Officer Tan in the hospital.

Upon hearing this, netizens flooded the comments with messages:
"President Qin, you must livestream when you go!"
"You can turn on the tipping feature; we’d like to contribute a small amount so you can buy Officer Tan some gifts. If he has any financial difficulties, we can help out."
"Exactly! There aren't many righteous officers like him left; we cannot let a hero suffer both pain and poverty!"

Qin Yanran was a woman of action. She quickly changed into casual clothes—a black hoodie, tight jeans, and white sneakers—with her hair tied back, giving her a sharp and professional look. She also swapped her usual vehicle for a standard business van.

Once inside, she sat in the back and started the stream: "Everyone, I’m in the car now and heading straight to the People's Hospital!" She then used her phone to show the environment outside.

"President Qin, turn on the tipping! I want to send a little gift!" a netizen commented. Qin Yanran noticed the user, "Purple Aura from the East," a high-level "whale" at level 52.

She smiled and said, "Since Brother Purple Aura is so generous, I won't be coy! I’ll state this beforehand: this is a charity stream. All proceeds from tips will go toward caring for Officer Tan. If there is anything left over, I will keep a ledger, set it aside as a charitable fund, and lead my employees in regular acts of charity. Every expenditure will be made public!"

The moment she finished speaking, gift effects erupted on the screen.
"Purple Aura from the East gifted the host a Carnival x1!"
"A Carnival! Purple Aura is so generous! That’s 3,000 yuan right there—a whole month's salary for us regular folks!" The viewers were filled with envy.

Seeing the comments, Qin Yanran’s jade-white face lit up with a faint smile: "Everyone, please give only what you can afford. Those with money can contribute funds; those who aren't as well-off can contribute their presence! Now, I’ll send out a digital gift bag!" She then posted a gift bag worth 10,000 diamonds.

"10,000 diamonds! That’s 1,000 yuan! President Qin is so generous!"
Before long, the livestream became lively, with the viewer count quickly climbing from hundreds to thousands.

Qin Yanran glanced at the chat and said, "We've arrived at the hospital. Let me take you all to see Officer Tan!"
Suddenly, a netizen commented: "President Qin, that photographer with the 'chrysanthemum injury' from when you were getting your car fixed—is he in this hospital too?"

The comment caused an immediate stir.
"What? President Qin, you were involved in that? What about morality? What about the law? Where is he?"
"Someone upstairs, please elaborate!"
"This is too shocking!"

Qin Yanran, who had been all smiles, turned grim. She immediately clarified: "Don't talk nonsense! What do you mean 'I did it'? He was hit by a traffic cone..."
After her detailed explanation, the viewers were stunned: "What? Is someone actually that unlucky? He stood behind a car and got hit by a traffic cone that was launched by another vehicle right into his... vital spot?"
"666! I’ve never heard of such a way to get injured; I've learned something new today!"
"President Qin, while you're there, go check on that photographer, Lin Shigong! I want to see just how 'extraordinary' his skeletal structure is!"

At that moment, Qin Yanran called Li Yuwei: "Weiwei, do you know which ward Officer Tan is in? I happen to be passing by and want to drop in."
"Oh, is that President Qin? I'm in the ward right now, I'll come down to meet you!" replied Officer Li, the "Rabbit Officer."

Soon, Li Yuwei emerged from the elevator in her police uniform.
"Is that the Rabbit Officer?" The viewers were delighted to see her.
Qin Yanran took the opportunity to introduce her: "Officer Rabbit and I are partners now! Our company is collaborating with *Tan Comments on Traffic*..."

The netizens began to discuss:
"So President Qin bought the copyright to *Tan Comments on Traffic*? You have a great eye!"
"Exactly! I've watched many clips of Officer Tan and always felt it was a pity the show wasn't more popular. With President Qin's involvement, it's bound to take off!"
"President Qin is doing charity! Truly beautiful inside and out!"

After greeting each other, Li Yuwei led the way. Qin Yanran smiled and said, "Weiwei, I'm two years older than you. Don't call me President Qin; call me 'Sister'!"
"Okay! Sister Qin!" Li Yuwei immediately complied.

They soon arrived at Tan Ping’s ward. Given his status as a local celebrity and the influx of visitors, the hospital had specially cleared a private room to avoid disturbing other patients.
"Boss Qin, it’s so kind of you to take time out of your busy schedule to visit me!" Tan Ping said with a smile from his bed. He had just heard from Li Yuwei that the show's copyright had been sold to Daqin Entertainment, and Qin Yanran was the head of that company.

Tan Ping wasn't surprised by the acquisition. In his past life, the original show had also been sold to an entertainment company, which later sparked disputes. Daqin Entertainment was significantly stronger than the company that had acquired it in his previous life.

He also realized that his recent surge in followers was entirely due to this "Boss Qin." Otherwise, given the show's lukewarm state, it would have taken over a week to gain 70,000 followers. Even then, he would eventually hit a bottleneck. Even the famous "Officer Tan" from his past life, despite his online fame, only had about 5 million followers—hardly comparable to the influencers and internet celebrities who commanded massive traffic. The main reason was the lack of capital backing.

Tan Ping felt a sense of gratitude toward Qin Yanran; this was a genuine opportunity for him.

Qin Yanran placed the fruit basket on the table and said, "Officer Tan, our viewers are very worried about you. I'm here to visit on behalf of them." She then pointed her phone camera at Tan Ping.
Tan Ping greeted them: "Hello everyone! I'm Tan Ping, your Officer Tan. I'm in the hospital right now and can't teach you about traffic laws for the time being!"

The netizens replied:
"Officer Tan, your top priority is to recover!"
"Yes! Get well soon!"
Then, a netizen asked: "Officer Tan, can we see your injury?"
Qin Yanran relayed the request: "Officer Tan, the viewers are worried about your injury. Of course, if it’s inconvenient, we don't have to."
"That’s no problem at all!" Tan Ping said with a laugh. After all, it wasn't an embarrassing injury.
"Haha! Officer Tan is still so optimistic!" The viewers were relieved.

Tan Ping slowly sat up and took off his shirt. A wave of awe rippled through the livestream!
"Officer Tan, you have an eight-pack!"
Both Officer Rabbit and Qin Yanran’s eyes lit up.
