Chapter 615: 606, the demon in the Qinghe Club (second update)_1

Ren He found it very interesting. Many bullying incidents in school actually had no real cause; it was just a group of kids who disliked someone or found someone to be an easy target. Then that kid would naturally become the one who got picked on.

Sometimes people say that human nature is inherently good, but is that really the case? Ren He was willing to believe this statement, but he felt that a child still needed more education from a young age.

Sun Yu thought for a moment and then laughed, "We are here to accompany Zhang Ke to the competition. What about you?"

The implication was that they had a legitimate reason to be there, unlike him. In Sun Yu’s view, Ren He’s avoidance of performing at the New Year’s Eve party must mean he lacked any real talent, right? And they couldn’t make any connection between Ren He and playing the piano.

"Me? I’m here to see the beauties," Ren He replied indifferently, and wasn’t it true? He was there to see Yang Xi. His own wife certainly counted as a beauty. Beauty lies in the lover’s eyes, and Ren He thought Yang Xi was the most beautiful girl in the world.

The two beauties nearby laughed out loud when they heard what Ren He said; they hadn’t expected the charming young man beside them to be so candid.

Sometimes when you’re secretive, people think you’re sleazy, but if you’re good-looking and just speak your mind, even if it’s about something sleazy, people will think you’re straightforward...

In the end, it all depends on your looks and what you have to offer... Such a pragmatic society.

"Hey, I haven’t asked you yet. All three of your roommates went to shoot ’Crazy Stone.’ Why didn’t you go?" Sun Yu took the opportunity to try to irritate Ren He.

Ren He shrugged his shoulders: "They wanted me to act, but I refused, eh. I don’t need to act."

That was the truth. Zhang Ming had always wanted Ren He to play the role of the assassin, thinking it would be interesting, but Ren He had declined. And indeed, he didn’t need to act; others acted to make money for him. What he wanted was just to bring this great work to the world. With the script and storyboard already done, he left the rest of the matters to Zhang Ming to worry about.

Sun Yu understood all too well what Ren He meant by not needing to act—it felt somewhat off, like an evasive response.

When the beauties next to them overheard their conversation, they became interested: "Crazy Stone? The one that’s currently in theaters? We’ve seen it; it’s really good!"

That struck a sore point for Sun Yu. Of course, it was good; if it weren’t, he wouldn’t be feeling jealous.

But of course, he couldn’t show his true feelings now. Seeing that he could spark the beauties’ interest in conversation, he naturally continued: "Yes, the lead actor Chen Da is our teacher. We are all students of the Central Drama Academy and, in fact, three of the actors are our classmates!"

"Really?" The beauties felt pleasantly surprised: "Then why didn’t you guys take on a role?" In their eyes, it seemed like everyone from Central Academy of Drama had an opportunity to act, and since their fellow classmates were in it, the others would reasonably have cameo roles or something.

Pfft, Ren He couldn’t help but laugh. The beauty’s words were really comforting, hitting Sun Yu’s sore spot perfectly and delivering a beautiful assist.

Sun Yu’s face turned green on the spot. If he could have a cameo role, he wouldn’t be here feeling bitter...

"Well... the roles this time weren’t quite suitable for us, so the teacher didn’t let us take part," Sun Yu explained tactfully, still believing that Zhang Jinglin and the others got to act because of Chen Da’s assistance, which made Sun Yu even more determined to curry favor with Chen Da.

Ren He didn’t say much throughout the conversation, but his laugh just now had indeed stung Sun Yu a bit. Sun Yu was actually very annoyed inside. What are you laughing at? Aren’t you supposed to be the most miserable one?!

The elevator reached the 11th floor. Sun Yu and the girls were chatting away happily. When the door opened, Ren He walked straight out as if he didn’t know Sun Yu and the others, even though the two beauties had already sensed in such a short time that this somewhat charming young man didn’t seem to get along well with the others; it was quite apparent.

Just then, Zhang Ke, who had come to compete with Sun Yu, suddenly said, "Hey, see those students in the hallway over there? They are from the Qinghe Club at No. 4 Middle School. The girl is named Liu Jiamin; she’s probably the favorite to win this competition. It’s said that her skill level was only about professional, not even top-tier, but then their Qinghe Club’s president, who’s quite a character, taught her for a while and even took the whole club to the summit of Mount Everest!"

"Ever since they returned from Mount Everest, Liu Jiamin has been transformed. The domestic pianist Liu Fei praised her as having a piano sound as pure as the snow lotus on a glacier, and now she’s become an instant hit!" The truth is, Ren He had always been very clear that if Liu Jiamin wanted to improve her skills significantly, she needed a breakthrough in life, which was something Ren He had told Liu Jiamin long ago.

Thus, when they went to the summit of Mount Everest, Ren He, while ensuring everyone’s safety, still hoped that the views from above 8,800 meters and the entire experience of summiting Mount Everest would leave these kids with a valuable treasure in their hearts.

In times of difficulty, a voice inside them would say: "We’ve climbed Mount Everest; what could be harder in ordinary life?"

It was also after Ren He left No. 4 Middle School that the few high school students in the Qinghe Club who had summitted Mount Everest realized that the biggest gain Ren He brought to the Qinghe Club wasn’t the tens of millions in funds each year but a different kind of life altogether.

Sun Yu paused for a moment: "Qinghe Club? Does it have anything to do with Qinghe Group?"

"Not the same thing. It’s just a club in the school. It’s normal to have clubs with the same name, but they are quite famous too. ’The Murder Game’ was created by them. I heard that their president at the time has already been inducted into the No. 4 Middle School Hall of Fame. ’The Murder Game’ earns tens of millions each year, and the guy simply took out a portion for No. 4 Middle School as scholarships and research funds. The rest serves as internal rewards for the Qinghe Club; whoever gets first place in exams gets a scholarship. Now there are several millionaires in the club, and two of them have already earned more than ten million..." Zhang Ke was more familiar with these matters; he was a native of Capital and went to Peking University Affiliated Middle School, which is as famous as No. 4 Middle School, so he was fairly clear about such a phenomenon coming out of No. 4 Middle School.

"A student club with an annual income of tens of millions...?" Sun Yu was really stunned. The idea was frightening to even think about; his family claimed to own over a billion in assets, but their annual income was less than one-tenth of Qinghe Club’s. Assets and profits are two completely different concepts!
