Chapter 78: 77, The final performance_1
Ren He noticed that Zhou Wumeng was still somewhat disgruntled and quickly offered a suggestion, “If you want to create another profitable avenue for the media group, you can do so without partnering with me and him. In fact, the media group could operate it on its own entirely, and I’m not just talking big—martial arts novels are like money trees, a surefire hit that can’t lose. And what’s our relationship like? Wouldn’t I send my work to you first for approval anyway? How could I send it to someone else?”
So far, Zhou Wumeng had offered him the highest price, so why bother with anything else? He’d just write his stuff and give it to the media group, and that would be the end of it—it’s just part of the initial accumulation process. There was no need to make things too complicated, right?

If Zhou Wumeng were a swindler, Ren He would definitely not speak like this. Both being adults, they knew that benefits were based on a win-win foundation. If one side were to be tricked, the collaboration couldn’t continue. Ren He wasn’t foolish enough to still play buddy-buddy if you were screwing him over.
Zhou Wumeng didn’t give Ren He a pleasant look, “Stop spouting rubbish, let me think a bit more.”
In fact, Capital Journalism, owning the top media channels at the moment, could easily dabble in these things themselves, depending on what Zhou Wumeng himself decided. It was just frustrating for Ren He not to be able to participate.
Come noon, the two went out to eat together—as Ren He had promised, letting Zhou Wumeng treat him. When they left, all the editors were watching them with sidelong glances, discussing the youth’s identity once the pair had entered the elevator. None had any clues because Zhou Wumeng had ensured tight confidentiality from the start; even the signing process had been handled by either himself or the middle-aged editor under him, never letting the contracting editors at the bottom get involved.
But in the end, they chose a small restaurant downstairs, and the two of them only spent a little over a hundred yuan. Zhou Wumeng was a tough-talk, soft-hearted type of person, and Ren He felt that he ought to repay him sometime.
Of course, what Elder Zhou was most looking forward to now was the second part of The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Cang Hai…
Ren He had nothing to do that afternoon, so he returned to the hotel to type away. After all, he had to keep up with the updates of his “Divine Book.” In the evening, he took a taxi to Yang Xi’s neighborhood and texted her, “Let’s go, I’ll take you on an elopement!”
Yang Xi laughed so hard at home when she read the message that she was practically falling over. It felt like she was truly about to elope with Ren He—exciting!
She put on the outfit Ren He had bought for them to make a scene in the face-off, and when Yang Xi put on the cap, she felt like she might actually possess the murderous vibe Ren He had talked about. The thought amused her, and just like that, two crazy teenagers caused quite a stir in the Capital.
However, this wasn’t the first time for Ren He; his influence back in Kunlun had not been any less considerable.
The magical youth, Yang Xi’s lips curled up, “Eloping, how interesting.”
However, Ren He didn’t take her straight to Back Sea; instead, they went straight to Wangfujing where he bought another set of clothes and a different cap.
Yang Xi was a bit curious, “Why buy new ones?”
“You’ll see when we get there,” Ren He said cheerfully, it seemed Yang Xi still lacked the awareness of being a celebrity.
That evening, when they arrived at Back Sea, they unexpectedly found many people just standing around chatting in the street, not entering the bars, just standing outside.
Ren He decisively pulled Yang Xi past them without donning the caps, just strutting right by. As they passed, Yang Xi overheard the crowd discussing, “How come they’re not here yet? Today, we definitely have to see what they really look like!”
“Haha, that young lady must be really pretty, just listening to her singing voice tells you that.”
“Give it a rest, as if you could identify a person by their singing,” a girl said with contempt. “I just want to see what that boy looks like, ask if he could also sing a song…”
“Silly girl!”
Yang Xi looked up at Ren He. Due to his exercise regimen, Ren He’s height had reached 175 centimeters. Keep in mind, he was just a middle school student, while Yang Xi was only 157 centimeters and hadn’t hit her growth spurt yet. Initially, Yang Xi hadn’t noticed, but Ren He’s height had shot up recently, and now she had to tilt her head up to see his face.
Ren He tightly held Yang Xi’s cute hand…
Yang Xi was curious how Ren He had guessed that someone would be staking them out today and had changed his clothes in advance, so much so that they could walk through the crowd without being noticed. To those people, their image was black clothes, a duckbill cap, a boy and a girl…
The feeling was too amazing, as if someone had already thought of the difficulties you might encounter.
Regarding which bar to choose for tonight, Ren He had already made up his mind; there was no need to change it—just go to the bar owned by the lady boss, Xie Zexi. Ren He had a rather good impression of her, thinking she was a fairly straightforward person.
And that bar’s stage had lights which could be turned off, perfect for concealing one’s appearance.
When the two walked into the bar without their duckbill caps on, Xie Zexi greeted them like normal customers. Then she watched, wide-eyed, as they took out their caps from their backpacks, put them on with a smile, and said, “Boss, can we sing?”
Xie Zexi’s mouth slowly dropped open. Even though the two had changed their clothes and hats, the voices were unmistakable!
She hadn’t expected that they would choose her bar today. Everyone on Back Sea Street was guessing which bar they’d show up at since, according to the pattern so far, they would sing at one place and then switch to another!
And she had seen their true faces. The little girl wasn’t what you would call a standard beauty, but if someone asked Xie Zexi if Yang Xi was pretty, she’d definitely say yes. Her features were delicate, and she had a unique charm that made you take a second look.
And the boy was quite handsome in a fresh way, not particularly striking, but with an indescribable allure…
If it weren’t for the Divine Punishment System’s charisma +1 reward, Ren He would not have been associated with charm in eight lifetimes…
“You can sing, yes, you can sing! We can turn off the stage lights, we can even turn off all the lights in the bar!” Xie Zexi said excitedly, “As long as you’re willing to come back and sing, I’ll give up 20% of the bar’s shares!”
Ren He smiled, “Keep your shares, today is our last performance, and if we see each other again, it won’t be until next year. Boss, you better start promoting, we’ll start singing promptly in 10 minutes! It’s a new song too.”
A new song, again? How many more astonishing songs could these two possibly bring out? The last performance? Xie Zexi was taken aback. She didn’t understand why, but she knew that no matter how many times they wanted to sing, she had to cooperate well.
Xie Zexi stepped outside and shouted, “New song release, this is the last performance of the year, starting promptly in 10 minutes!”
She didn’t even name the performers; she didn’t know what to call Ren He and his company, but she believed everyone on the street knew exactly who she was talking about!
