"Good evening, viewers, and welcome to Yunzhong City Television’s program, ’Special Focus.’" On the screen, Lin Xuezhen was poised and charismatic. On any other show, the audience’s eyes would have been fixed on her, but this time was different. The vast majority of viewers were focused on Hah’Er, who was on the large screen behind her.

"Gah?" Egg tilted its head and looked at the LCD television on the living room wall. ’Why does that panda on the screen look so familiar?’ it seemed to wonder.

"Hah’Er, look! You’re on TV!" Sylvie picked Hah’Er up and sat him in her lap, which made Shen Yibin quite envious.

"Haha, Hah’Er is quite photogenic, isn’t he?" Sun Qian hadn’t gone to her regular singing gig at the bar today, staying in the store to watch the program with them instead.

"Wow, Mr. Panda is really amazing." Even Sakai Kaori, for once, tore her attention away from Egg and stared curiously at Hah’Er on the screen.

"Tch, it’s just being on TV, and only a local Yunzhong City station at that. I’ve been on national television so many times I’m sick of it." Only Cheeky looked disdainful. Of course, it had the right to be arrogant. The talent show it had been in was a national sensation, and countless people had gone crazy for Cheeky.

"That’s different. You were there to perform. Hah’Er was a hero this time." After speaking, Shen Yibin stroked Hah’Er’s head. "Hah’Er, as a reward, I’ll give you an extra bowl of wine tonight. It’s okay even if you get drunk today."

The coffee table was already covered with all sorts of snacks. They were planning to drink and watch TV tonight. Of course, they had to be careful this time. If they ended up throwing Egg downstairs again, the nearby Golden Retrievers, Siamese Cats, and whatnot would go crazy.

"...Due to a lack of funds and long-term disrepair, a child broke through a railing at the Yunzhong City Zoo’s Xiong Mountain and fell into the enclosure..." The scene on the TV screen suddenly changed, cutting to a shaky video clip. It was the exact moment Hou Longtao had fallen into the Xiong Mountain enclosure, clearly filmed by a tourist on their phone.

"Daddy, Daddy, Mommy, Mommy, look! That’s me!" In a high-end residential complex somewhere in Yunzhong City, Hou Longtao clapped his hands excitedly. ’Haha, I can’t believe I’m on TV! I have to tell Xue Nuo from the class next door when I go to school tomorrow.’

"Sigh, Long Tao is fine now. Should we go visit Mr. Shen tomorrow and thank him properly?" Yesterday, Hou Longtao’s parents had been busy taking him to the hospital for a check-up, so they hadn’t had a chance to thank Shen Yibin. Now that the test results showed everything was normal, they could finally relax.

"We absolutely should. If it weren’t for Mr. Shen and his panda yesterday, the consequences would have been unimaginable." Seeing the familiar scene on television, Hou Longtao’s parents were still terrified. A cold sweat instantly soaked their clothes.

"Oh my, that child is in real danger! Are black bears something you can mess with?" Many viewers who hadn’t seen yesterday’s news felt their hearts leap into their throats. They chattered amongst themselves, guessing how the authorities would rescue the child. Would they send in a sniper to kill the three black bears? Or lure them away with food?

"Sigh, those three black bears are so unlucky." In a situation like this, ensuring the child’s safety was the top priority. Wouldn’t that make the three black bears sacrificial victims?

However, the subsequent turn of events was completely beyond their expectations. Suddenly, a round, chubby, black-and-white panda tumbled down from the same spot where Hou Longtao had fallen.

"The Yunzhong City Zoo has a panda? How did I not know that?"

"Mommy, Mommy, I want to see the panda! Can you take me to the Yunzhong City Zoo this weekend?" After their initial surprise, the viewers in front of their TVs started to worry. Surely the black bears wouldn’t attack the panda, would they?

"Haha, that kid is really brave!" The audience chuckled as they watched Hou Longtao hand candy to Hah’Er, who in turn shared it with the small black bear.

"This panda is pretty gutsy too! Logically speaking, shouldn’t a black bear be stronger than a panda?" When Hah’Er slapped the black bear on the head, these people gasped. They didn’t relax until the little black bear shamelessly stretched its head forward, at which point they roared with laughter. "That little black bear is a real foodie!"

After that, the audience completely relaxed. From the looks of it, the brat’s safety wasn’t going to be an issue. They never expected such a critical situation to be so easily defused by Hah’Er with just a few pieces of candy.

For the next ten-plus minutes, the audience’s laughter was non-stop. It reached its peak when Hou Longtao was rescued. And in the end, when they saw the little black bear leaning against the railing, watching Hah’Er leave with reluctance, they all felt a little sorry for the little guy.

The program caused a huge sensation immediately after it aired. Netizens posted links to the video from the official Yunzhong City Television website on Weibo and shared photos on their Moments. Overnight, it spread throughout the entire country.

By the time everyone woke up the next day, the story had already shot to the top of Weibo’s hot search rankings, even eclipsing the scandal of a certain big celebrity’s affair. This ended up saving her a lot in PR fees.

"I’m so jealous of that brat. If I had a chance like that, I’d even be willing to jump into the Xiong Mountain enclosure myself," a netizen commented.

"And then the black bear would pin you down and do you. The second time, you’d go back for more, unwilling to give up, and get done again. The third time you jump down, the black bear would just ask: ’Bro, are you here for the media hype or to sell your ass?’" This savage reply immediately made the original commenter the butt of everyone’s jokes.

"Sigh, that zoo is so dilapidated. I’d like to donate some money. Does anyone know how?" This was from someone who genuinely wanted to help the Yunzhong City Zoo.

"Yunzhong City seems like a great place. Even the pandas are so well-behaved. I have to go to Yunzhong City to see this panda next time I get a chance." This was one of the comments praising Yunzhong City.

"Huh, has no one noticed how good-looking the female host is? I think she’s way better than the ones on XX Satellite TV." Lin Xuezhen also gained something from this.

"Uh, with a panda around, who’s going to pay attention to a girl?" Uh, that’s the comment of someone destined to be single forever.

Yunzhong City was a medium-sized city, and tourism was a major pillar of its economy. Therefore, government officials paid close attention to the city’s image. This news story seemed to present them with a great opportunity to increase Yunzhong City’s renown.

"What do you all think about inviting this panda to be Yunzhong City’s official city image ambassador?" the mayor of Yunzhong City suggested at a meeting.
