OFR – Chapter 363 At this point in his life, there is no Leng Hao anymore

All across Huaxia, the Lunar New Year was being celebrated in a festive atmosphere with endless firecrackers, and naturally Shanghai, the Magic City, was no exception.

But amid the sound of fireworks, the chairman of Quanmin TV—who had just spent a full hour in conversation with Leng Hao—finally managed to digest the shocking news: this legendary figure was about to retire from the livestreaming industry!

At Leng Hao’s request, he cooperated fully, contacting the already bankrupt and restructuring Douyu TV as well as the Fengyun Gala organizing committee, ensuring that every piece of Leng Hao’s contact information and private data in the industry was completely destroyed.

From that moment on, if Leng Hao chose to disappear from the livestreaming world, then apart from this single QQ account before him, not even someone like Li Ran could ever trace the legendary magnate who had stirred up countless storms across the industry.

There would truly be no trail left behind.

So now, as Li Ran looked over the final lines of their chat, he didn’t know why, but after a moment he couldn’t help feeling a faint, indescribable sense of loss—even though he had long since grown accustomed to the cold realities of human nature.

“Your real name is Li Ran?”
“Yes, that’s right, Leng Hao. I’m the legal representative and CEO of Quanmin TV.”
“Mm. But before I leave, I want to ask one last time: will you really, as you said, treat every member of the Chen Shi Fuhua team well in the future?”
“I swear—from start to finish, without change. I will treat the Chen Shi Fuhua team as the most important part of Quanmin TV.”
“Good. Thank you. But if one day I find out that Zhang Yuyan, Haiqing, Jingbao, Awen Xiaoyue, or anyone else under your care has been wronged, believe me—I will return. And when that day comes, the price you pay will be far greater than what you’ve gained.”
“Rest assured, Leng Hao. Entrusting me with such a powerful force—if I break this vow, I am unworthy of being a man.”
“Mm. Then farewell.”
“Leng Hao… farewell.”

Li Ran stared at those final words, a trace of sorrow in his expression. He knew that this goodbye might truly mean that he would never again cross paths with the godlike figure who once dominated the entire industry.

At that moment, whether out of melancholy or to show his deepest respect for Leng Hao, he made a decision.

At 2 p.m. on New Year’s Day, Quanmin TV issued a farewell announcement across its entire platform. The PR department spent heavily to push the news onto the front page of every major browser, and countless figures in the media industry went wild, forwarding the explosive headline.

In an instant, the entire internet once again erupted into the same overwhelming frenzy that had filled it the day before.

A single line of news spread like wildfire, unstoppable and absolute:

“From this day forth, there will be no more Leng Hao.”

The 300 to 400 million viewers who had witnessed Leng Hao’s dominance over the livestreaming industry the previous day now froze before their phone screens, stunned and unable to react.

They couldn’t believe that the same magnate who had silenced the entire industry with his presence yesterday would simply vanish today.

Meanwhile, in the Chen Shi Fuhua team’s QQ group, news arrived that Leng Hao had chosen to place the team under Quanmin TV’s wing.

He had even divided the massive equity shares promised by Li Ran among Zhang Yuyan, Haiqing, Jingbao, and other core veterans and major contributors. As for the guaranteed ¥1.5 billion annual salary, he distributed it evenly based on the popularity of each streamer in the team.

This distribution of benefits—terrifyingly vast by industry standards—set off an ecstatic celebration within Chen Shi Fuhua, which by then had absorbed nearly the entire Douyu faction.

But amid the excitement, few noticed what was happening inside the QQ group. The number of administrators suddenly multiplied, and even the group owner had changed.

Originally, there had only been a single admin: a girl outside the streaming industry appointed by Leng Hao. But she had quietly left the group at some point.

Now, within mere seconds, the administrator role had been reassigned to Haiqing, Jingbao, Nuannuan, Han Xiaoxiao, Wentin, Xiao Leng, Goddess Xiaoxi, and over a dozen other highly respected or newly joined but immensely popular figures in the industry.

And the group owner… was no longer Leng Hao.

Instead, it had become Zhang Yuyan—the very girl who had held the Chen Shi Fuhua team together through its darkest struggles, and who yesterday rose to the top of the industry’s popularity charts, officially recognized by Quanmin TV and other platforms alike.

After making these changes, the architect of it all quietly left a fleeting, almost invisible message in the middle of the group’s frenzied celebration… and then exited the group without hesitation.

No second thoughts. No trace of reluctance.

Perhaps he feared that if he lingered, the members would try to hold him back, forcing him to refuse their pleas one by one.

So he left—decisive, resolute.

So resolute, in fact, that the members who had once worshipped him as an idol and a legend never even got the chance to say goodbye.

Leng Hao was gone.

When Zhang Yuyan and the new admins finally snapped out of their shock, it felt as if their hearts were being wrenched apart—so much so that even breathing seemed unbearable.

Frantically, they checked their QQ friend lists, only to be met with the system notification: [You are no longer in this user’s contact list].

For Zhang Yuyan, Jingbao, and the other softhearted girls, tears flowed uncontrollably.

Even Haiqing, Wentin, and the others who prided themselves on their masculinity felt their eyes grow wet.

A few minutes later, the rest of the Chen Shi Fuhua members realized what had happened. Their joy turned to confusion—until they stumbled upon the explosive news sweeping the internet.

In that instant, the massive Chen Shi Fuhua team erupted in chaos.

Too many had seen Leng Hao as their faith, their idol, their legend. Now, in near delirium, voices rose one after another:

“I don’t believe it! I don’t believe Leng Hao would leave us! I don’t believe it!”

The outcry needed no leader, no rallying cry.

Carrying a near-hysterical frenzy, this overwhelming force—powerful enough to shake every streaming platform in the industry—marched together at 3 p.m. straight to Quanmin TV, the only platform besides Douyu that could rival the very top tier.

When they arrived, they found Quanmin TV covered everywhere—from homepage to subpages—with messages paying respect to Leng Hao.

For a moment, they were stunned. But the sorrow and anger of losing Leng Hao soon drowned out reason.

Even top-tier streamers like Han Xiaoxiao, Nuannuan, Long Yaonie, and Wentin publicly tagged chairman Li Ran, demanding that he step forward and give them an explanation.

Deep down, many of them suspected that Leng Hao had left on his own. But with nowhere else to vent their grief, anger, and pain, they unleashed it all on Quanmin TV, engulfing the entire platform in an instant.
