Chapter 575: 569, Was Ren He Sponsored? (Second Update)_1

"Ren He has a girlfriend now?" Someone was a bit puzzled to see Yang Xi pounce on Ren He like a koala, and even more puzzled about why the other person was so keen on concealing their appearance.

Because the distance was too far, nobody could get a clear look. No one knew that was Yang Xi, except for Ren He.

They were all half-stepped into the entertainment industry, hearing more about celebrities at the Central Academy of Drama than other schools, so when they saw Yang Xi’s dress-up, they instinctively thought she could be a celebrity fearing recognition from passersby!

Some people wanted to get closer to see which celebrity it was, but Ren He walked off with Yang Xi, not giving them a chance to get a closer look. The two of them seemed to be in that blissful state of a newfound relationship; Yang Xi herself was already a bit worried about Ren He’s safety after that phone call, naturally elated to see her boyfriend in one piece.

She didn’t care whether she was being reserved or not, or whether jumping onto Ren He was elegant or not; after all, they both acted according to their own feelings, unconcerned with others’ opinions.

When it was time for her to take the initiative, Yang Xi never hesitated. She knew very well that what Ren He needed most upon his return was her embrace.

"Could it be a celebrity?" someone in the troupe asked.

"Very likely, this kind of get-up is usually only done by celebrities, right?"

A group of people followed behind, their curiosity piqued, of course they had to rush over to see for themselves. If it was just an ordinary girlfriend, they wouldn’t have felt much novelty about it, who hasn’t been in a relationship a few times? But linking Ren He with a celebrity made things a bit more interesting!

When they got outside, they just saw Ren He and Yang Xi at the distant parking lot, Ren He opening the door of a huge pickup truck and lifting Yang Xi into it. The truck was so big; it was a bit tough for Yang Xi to get up on her own—Ren He wondered how she even managed to drive it over...

Then Ren He got into the driver’s seat, and the massive pickup roared away with a roar of its engine.

They were not people unfamiliar with luxury; that pickup truck was worth at least a couple of million. Before, everyone thought Ren He’s family might not be well-off, but could someone who wasn’t well-off drive such a car?

But Ren He was indeed very low-key. While in the Netherlands, he mostly went for buffets, unlike them who almost went out to find a fancy Dutch restaurant every day in the latter days.

At that time, everyone was open about it, with Cheng Jian who would spend 20,000 on a meal inviting others to eat, and then others followed suit.

However, whenever they called Ren He, most of the time he didn’t join them for meals. Some wondered if Ren He was worried it would be his turn to treat.

Some people even suggested they didn’t need him to treat, it was all voluntary, yet Ren He still didn’t go, as if the hotel buffet was the best delicacy.

What they didn’t know was that Ren He was on guard against the CIA at the time, absolutely couldn’t allow himself to stray too far from a sniper rifle, but how was it to take a cello case to a meal?

At that time, Ren He himself didn’t even know if the CIA was actually after him, and he certainly didn’t want to involve his classmates.

But these things also couldn’t be shared with his classmates; after all, it was too far-fetched, even he himself found it bizarre.

"Could Ren He be kept by that celebrity..." someone said with a bit of annoyance.

"In terms of looks, Ren He isn’t the most outstanding, but there’s a charm about him... Don’t say it, it could really be possible..."

In just a couple of sentences, the ordinarily low-key Ren He had already become a hot stock potentially being kept by a star.

Such things have never been a secret in the circle; some celebrities themselves are someone else’s mistresses, casually keeping one themselves—it’s quite the norm.

People always say that the high society is so chaotic, but damn it, it’s the entertainment industry that’s the real mess!

Chen Da felt a bit of a toothache hearing their words. Others might not know about Ren He’s situation, but how could he be unaware? Was it even plausible that someone with Ren He’s net worth needed to be kept? That’s nothing but bullshit.

But he didn’t have the privilege to know about Ren He’s "Knight" status either, and Director Zhang wouldn’t be so idle as to tell him these things for no reason. Director Zhang considered himself as working for Ren He now, just like Elder Zhou did, so he knew better than to gossip about the big boss when it wasn’t necessary.

They were old hands at this game, clear on what the rules were.

Moreover, Zhang Ming was very aware that Ren He might seem young, but he was exceptionally methodical when it came to doing business.

Sometimes, there would be frequent conflicts during collaborations, but working with Ren He was a relief because he was used to laying all cards on the table. The distribution of interests between each other was clear and transparent, as plain as day.

In today’s society, as long as the interests are clearly sorted out, there wouldn’t be any conflicts. This is why Zhang Ming envied Elder Zhou; Zhou Wumeng might not have a single share in Qinghe Fund, but he had everything else that should be his.

An annual salary three times higher than that of the Capital Journalism Group, decision-making power over the entire Qinghe Fund, Ren He was generous with all that he could offer, not stingy in the least.

It was precisely because of Zhang Ming’s shift in attitude towards Ren He that Chen Da cherished the relationship he had with Ren He even more.

"Alright, stop badmouthing people behind their backs," said Chen Da in a firm tone before he left straight away. Everyone looked at each other and stopped discussing, but the topic had already taken root in their minds...

On the way home, Yang Xi said to Ren He, "The meal has already been prepared by Uncle Fang, there’s your favorite shredded pork with garlic sauce, stir-fried pork with peppers, sautéed shredded potatoes in vinegar, Kung Pao chicken, and a soup with seaweed and egg drops. How’s that?"

"Perfect!" During the few days Ren He had been in the Netherlands, what he missed most was these homemade dishes. Just add three bowls of rice, and it’d be a hundred times better than Western food!

Yang Xi extended her hand, and Ren He was taken aback for a moment: "What?"

"Phone, I want to see if you’ve been flirting with girls abroad," Yang Xi said righteously.

"Checking a man’s phone is not a good habit," Ren He felt a twinge of discomfort.

"Hmm, I know," Yang Xi responded seriously.

"So..."

"So hand over the phone quickly," Yang Xi showed no sign of having listened, ignoring whatever justification he had—today was the day for a checkpoint!

Ren He realized that Yang Xi had the same kind of attitude in certain aspects as her mother, Su Ruqin; no matter what grand principles you talk about, she wouldn’t give a damn.

Yang Xi took the phone out of Ren He’s pocket and asked with a puzzled face, "Calling Xu Nuo more times than you called me? Do you have a thing with Xu Nuo? I always felt that there was something off between you two... Xu Nuo, this little mistress! Haha!"

As she spoke, Yang Xi started to laugh first!
