Chapter 60 Reunion Phone Call
The orphan incident did not subside with Tian Ersan closing his store; the major television stations, belatedly realizing the situation, quickly caught on.

On the morning of the third day after the incident, the second day after Tian Ersan arrived in Donghai City, mainstream news media reported on Tian Ersan's situation. They also edited together a video that Tian Ersan recorded and posted himself, and broadcast it on a regular television station, showing Tian Ersan working hard to move canned goods.

Watching the boy working diligently, drenched in sweat, and hearing the announcer's heartfelt account of the boy's suffering on television.

The popularity of orphan Tian Ersan instantly surged, making him a nationally renowned figure overnight.

Tian Ersan, a computer engineer in his previous life, had just finished developing the recognition and calculation program and was testing the automatic order filtering and mass messaging functions in his office when his phone rang.

"Hey."

"Hello, I am Wang Tiancheng, the chairman of Shanghai Tiancheng Food Company. I would like to adopt you as my godson."

"Excuse me, I didn't have that kind of thought. Please don't bring up such a rude thing, thank you."

Tian Ersan hung up the phone immediately and blocked the number.

A few seconds later, the phone rang again, this time from a Beijing number.

"Hey, who are you looking for?"

"Are you Tian Ersan? I saw your report on TV. I have three houses in Beijing. Would you like to come and live with me?"

“No, I’m not an orphan from an orphanage. Please stop harassing me! Many people have already called me today wanting to adopt me as their son. I just want you to take care of your own sons and daughters; I don’t need them!”

Tian Ersan angrily hung up the phone.

The phone rang again immediately after I hung up.

Tian Ersan felt a chill run down his spine again.

"What is it?" Tian Ersan continued to answer the phone impatiently, to prevent missing any important information.

A girl said, "I'm a reporter from Donghai News TV. Our station director asked me to ask you if you'd like to stay at their house. Our station director only has one daughter, and he said he would definitely treat you like his own son, and he's willing to give you half of his future assets."

“Our station director’s daughter is a college student. The station director said that if you two are a good match, he will give you everything in the family.”

"No need!" Tian Ersan clenched his fists, then slumped onto his desk with a sigh. "Stop bothering me, okay? So many, many people have called me, saying they want me to be their son. What a bunch of lunatics! I'm busy with my business and my own things. Who has the time to be their son!"

"And another thing! My parents are dead. I was absolutely not abducted or abandoned. Anyone who wants me to reunite with my family is a liar!"

Tian Ersan didn't want to be swayed by public opinion, and he didn't want a group of con artists to jump out and call him their son, making everything clear in advance.

Although Tian Ersan is already eighteen, there are still a lot of middle-aged couples who want to adopt him.

If he were eight years old now, the phone would be ringing off the hook with people wanting to adopt him.

Even now, the phone is practically ringing off the hook. There are just too many influential people who somehow got Tian Ersan's phone number and are all thinking of adopting him.

"Okay, sorry to bother you."

Tian Ersan was in a bad mood, but he kept his composure and said, "It's okay. I feel like I'll be harassed by countless people as soon as I hang up, but I still have to hang up. Goodbye."

Jingle bell bell~
Tian Ersan answered the phone, "Hello, who is it?"

A woman's voice came from the other end very quickly, "Child... I'm your mother!"

Tian Ersan quickly said, "My mom's cooking at home. Who are you looking for? My surname is Wang. Who are you?"

Snapped!
The other side hung up the phone.

"How rude! They didn't even apologize."

Tian Ersan said dismissively.

After blocking the number, he continued to answer the phone, asking, "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Tian?"

"What is it?" Tian Ersan sensed that it must be something important.

"Hello, I am Yun Ningshuang, the manager of Zhengcheng Haoyunlai Supermarket. Our supermarket has a large store in Zhengcheng and we would like to purchase 500,000 cans of your company's canned goods at the online price. When can you deliver them? We can pay in advance."

"There aren't any for now. The canned yellow peaches are almost sold out. Besides, you can get canned yellow peaches directly from other manufacturers. As long as the canneries can make a profit, it doesn't have to be me."

Tian Ersan no longer wants to make money; he just wants some peace and quiet.

There was a silence of three or four seconds on the other end, then the person quickly continued, "Okay, I will relay your words to our chairman."

"Okay, thank you." Tian Ersan hung up the phone and took the next call.

This time it was a sexy, languid female voice: "Hello, Mr. Tian?"

Tian Ersan hung up and blocked her immediately, unable to stand the affected and pretentious female voice.

Next!
……

"Damn it!!" Bai Wanru cursed angrily, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get the needle in.

After angrily putting down her phone, Bai Wanru frowned as she looked at the information on her computer.

According to information provided internally by the bank, they already know how much money Tian Ersan has.

"This kid is already a multi-millionaire."

Bai Wanru frowned slightly and stuck out her sexy tongue to lick her rosy lips.

"Ten million a month, that's almost a tenth of our family's capabilities."

Bai Wanru quickly revealed a confident smile. "You naive kid, I'm not worried about you not taking the bait!"

Bai Wanru took out her phone and handed it to her secretary, "Arrange a meeting for me with Mr. Tian Ersan, the general manager of Chengbang Company. Our company can help him open up overseas markets and develop international business. Let's have a meal together sometime, it's not far anyway."

Bai Wanru's base is not in Beijing. She is only in Beijing for the convenience of her daughter's medical treatment. In fact, her businesses are all in Lianhai City.

Lianhai City is very close to Donghai City, only a couple hundred kilometers away. The two cities can be both competitors and partners.

Bai Wanru was very confident in her beauty. She knew exactly where young men's eyes would go and what they would think when they saw a beautiful woman.

"It's numb! It's numb!"

Tian Ersan threw the phone away, not wanting to answer those spam calls anymore.

Zhang Shuya walked over with a smile and said, "President Tian, ​​you've worked hard!"

Tian Ersan looked at Zhang Shuya, and then at Wang Linlin, who was working as a customer service representative on the side.

This time, Zhou Shanshan wasn't brought along; only two obedient women were.

"You two will work as receptionists for now. One of you will be the receptionist, and the other will handle sales matters as customer service. Do as much as you can, there's no rush."

Tian Ersan assigned two people to work and instructed them, "Being a receptionist means refusing all invitations and not letting anyone in to disturb my work or rest. If you really can't stop them, you should shout loudly to remind me that someone is coming."

Zhang Shuya asked curiously, "Did you refuse all invitations?"

Tian Ersan nodded very affirmatively.

"Reject them all! Just say I'm busy shipping orders!"

Wang Linlin asked, "Weren't the shipping matters handled by the people from Taoxian and Donghai Express companies?"

Starting yesterday, Tian Ersan directly printed out the orders and sent them to the courier company for delivery, while he quietly collected the money.

The courier company is responsible for the packaging, and the municipal government helps coordinate the packaging of the boxes, including arranging for local food factories to come and help with odd jobs.

Tian Ersan just needs to pay; although he'll definitely rip you off a bit, he won't go too far.

After deducting labor costs, operating costs, and express delivery fees from the business worth over ten million, Tian Ersan can earn a profit of over five million. With the additional five million given by the city, he is now close to becoming a multi-millionaire.

"Now that I have money, more people will target me, set me up, and take me to high-end places."

Tian Ersan was unusually calm. "I won't see any outsiders or receive any guests for a while. I'll go back to my neighborhood to rest later. Working from home is fine too. I can avoid those sugar-coated bullets and all sorts of scams targeting nouveau riche."

Zhang Shuya understood somewhat, and then asked, "What if they come to discuss business, do you refuse them too?"

"No!" Tian Ersan resolutely refused. "I know exactly what kind of business I want to do. Anyone who comes to cooperate with me uninvited is up to no good and has ulterior motives!"

Zhang Shuya asked, "What if the leader is trying to arrange a marriage for you?"

Tian Ersan looked at Zhang Shuya, probably because someone had already asked Zhang Shuya about Tian Ersan's marriage.

Tian Ersan shook his head. "I don't want to go on blind dates with a bunch of big-faced girls, and I don't want to be tied to anyone's power. Otherwise, I'll be relying on other people's influence in everything I do in the future."

Zhang Shuya nodded in agreement, unsure of what to do next.

Wang Linlin was even more confused.

Tian Ersan pondered his next steps.

Arranged marriages should be refused. Besides the fact that daughters of wealthy families are difficult to get along with, the most important reason is that they offer very little freedom.

If an orphan marries into another family, he will only be treated as an outsider by a large group of relatives.

As the saying goes, "People fear becoming famous, just as pigs fear growing fat." Tian Ersan needs to rationally deal with the negative risks that come with his fame.

This includes issues such as being harassed by phone calls, being harassed in real-life situations, being aggressively sold things, being invited to meals, being treated like a dog, and being restricted in one's image.

The most troublesome thing is that the image is becoming more and more positive and tragic, so it will be hard to laugh in the future.

Fortunately, I smiled naturally when I was writing the poem yesterday, which naturally gave people the impression that I love to laugh, so I didn't have to play the role of a stoic, suffering, and righteous man.

Most people, once they become public figures, become just as reserved as broadcasters.

Many male online anchors, when interviewed by television stations, especially reputable ones, also try their best to appear upright and serious.

Public opinion can constrain the behavior of some people.

Normal orphans are usually serious and earnest, but Tian Ersan is not like that. His background is tragic, but he himself is not tragic.

His previous image as a news anchor allowed Tian Ersan to express himself freely; he has always been that kind of person, saying whatever comes to mind.

Too much positive energy is meaningless, especially since being an orphan means not having to worry about being harassed online, but the lack of interaction with fans can easily cause one's popularity to drop.

Most people with tragic figures don't achieve much. Those who rise to power through political correctness are eventually sidelined; they're not worth offending, but you can avoid them.

If you want to make big money through live-streaming e-commerce in the future, the first thing you need to do is to dim your current dazzling image and not be so eye-catching.

This is a technical job.

It is extremely difficult to do; one wrong move and it gets dirty or the golden statue breaks.

But if you don't darken it a bit, it really will look like a Buddha that's been placed on a pedestal and left to languish.
