Chapter 420: Chapter 420 Inevitable_1

"Unromantic." Kang Yue glanced with her beautiful eyes and put on her long coat.

She caught up to Shen Dong with truly passionate steps and instructed him in advance, "Marketing is my battlefield. When the time comes, try to speak as little as possible, okay?"

Arm in arm, with a coquettish tone...

Shen Dong helplessly agreed, ’Okay’.

He had long been accustomed to Kang Yue, but it was precisely this habit that gradually made Shen Dong forget that these actions had already gone beyond the boundaries of male-female friendship of their era.

Nor did the pair notice that, behind the revolving doors of Silver Moonlight, a pair of bloodshot eyes was staring at their backs, biting her lips tightly.

Youth, oh youth.

Shen Dong had no idea what was happening in Hai City, and along with Kang Yue, who shared his destiny, flew to Shenchuan for what seemed like a nostalgic trip.

Only upon arrival did Shen Dong realize it wasn’t Bay Island. He was a bit dazed, "Weren’t we going to find Mr. Zhou?"

"Concert," Kang Yue had no trace of wisdom left and seemed utterly crazy as she grabbed Shen Dong and ran.

They took a taxi to the Shenchuan Stadium, where a massive line snaked at the entrance.

Kang Yue was also quite clever; she didn’t queue up, and with a loud cry, she called out, "Where are the scalpers!"

This trick really worked, and in less than thirty seconds, seven or eight scalpers rushed up with tickets, "Miss, wanna buy tickets?"

"Two, front row." Kang Yue was quick to decide, clearly a regular client of the scalpers, taking out two thousand yuan from her bag, "Don’t even think about ripping me off. If you’re not selling, get ready to take a loss."

Two scalpers still wanted to haggle, but one of them handed over two tickets, "I’ll sell for two thousand, definitely front row, eligible to send flowers."

"Deal." After ensuring the tickets were genuine, Kang Yue readily handed over the money.

Shen Dong felt displeased, and once inside the stadium, he couldn’t help but dwell on it, "You’re nourishing criminals."

Kang Yue gave him a sideways glance, with a sense of entitlement in her voice, "They take on the risk of detention and fines, along with the effort of queueing up in the early hours. A high price is what they deserve.

In my view, they are a group of people desperate to change their lives. At least, they’re way better than those who complain about life’s unfairness but are unwilling to strive or take on risks."

"Hmph," Shen Dong scoffed in rebuttal, "By your logic, bank robbers are even more desperate to change their lives."

Without agreeing or disagreeing, Kang Yue simply smiled and pulled Shen Dong to their seats.

Shen Dong had always thought there were no seats at concerts, just a crowd waving glow sticks, standing and jostling one another.

Once seated, Kang Yue leaned her head over, "Let’s put it this way, if scalping tickets is a crime, then is it a crime for merchants to buy low and sell high, trading everyday or medical supplies?"

"And about those products dubbed with internet celebrity names, which are sold for several times their value, what do you say to that?"

While speaking, Kang Yue suddenly gestured dismissively.

There was disgust welling in her eyes as she disdainfully said, "Some souls hidden beneath their glamorous exteriors are far more nauseating than the scalpers; scalpers just lose because they’re exposed in the light."

Shen Dong believed that if the circumstances and status were right, Kang Yue would cling to this issue and keep discussing it.

He couldn’t quite articulate his feelings; he found her point very sensible yet felt something was off. Seeing Kang Yue’s annoyed expression, Shen Dong instinctively spoke to comfort her, "Don’t be angry. We didn’t come all this way to get upset. Just wait to see Mr. Zhou..."

"I’m not angry, just annoyed," she replied.

Just then, a piercing scream erupted from the crowd.

The music burst forth, and Mr. Zhou descended from the sky, the spotlight dancing through the air like a magic sword.

Shen Dong couldn’t relate to the fans’ emotions, but the atmosphere at the venue still swept him up, and he waved his glow stick too. He enjoyed this vibe and envied the attention focused on the stage.

Being in the midst of it all, Shen Dong understood even more Kang Yue’s persistent pursuit of Mr. Zhou.

If Shen Dong were to promote Huaxu’s business, he guessed that no matter how much he ran around or how eloquently he talked, he wouldn’t be able to pull in a single customer.

But with Mr. Zhou, he guessed that all it would take was a few words, and tens of thousands of people would come knocking on the door.

The celebrity effect was truly awesome.

Shen Dong was so immersed that he didn’t even notice when Kang Yue left or when she came back until Kang Yue’s cold little hand grabbed his own, bringing him back to reality, "What’s up?"

"Let’s go."

"It’s done?" Shen Dong looked at Kang Yue walking ahead with a baffled face.

Could this girl be so naive? That was Mr. Zhou—she managed to get it done so quickly?

As soon as they left the venue, Kang Yue winked playfully at Shen Dong, "Want to know how I managed to deal with Mr. Zhou?"

"No kidding." Shen Dong couldn’t help but be curious. If Mr. Zhou really became the spokesperson for Huaxu, and just one percent of his fans joined Huaxu, that would be a storming force.

He frowned, deliberately speaking with an exaggeratedly stern tone, "Spit it out. Play games with your boss, and watch your salary get docked."

"Not telling you!" Kang Yue pouted at Shen Dong, even sticking out her tongue slightly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Dong rolled up his sleeves and pretended to threaten, "The world’s turned upside down, huh? You think I’m a sick cat because I don’t show my claws?"

"Ptooey!" Kang Yue suddenly spit on the ground.

She ran off swiftly, hooking her hand and saying proudly, "Brat, as if that dumb, cute face of yours could scare anyone!"

Oh, she could do that?

Shen Dong’s brain heated up and he took off after her, "If you’ve got the guts, don’t run."

"If you’ve got the skills, catch me—Ouch!" Kang Yue called out in triumph, but she didn’t watch where she was going and tripped over onto the grass, her once-pale stockings instantly turning grass green.

"Troublemaker, you fell, didn’t you." Shen Dong hurried over to help Kang Yue up, "Are you okay? Are you bleeding?"

Kang Yue, with no sense of modesty, hooked her arm around Shen Dong’s neck and jumped into his embrace, "I’m not bleeding. It’s probably a broken bone or internal injury. Hurry, take me to the hospital."

Shen Dong looked down at Kang Yue lying across his arms with a helpless expression, "Can you act normally? My arms and legs are weak. What if I drop you?"

"I’d just stick to you." Kang Yue said matter-of-factly, nodding towards a long bench, "Come on, carry me over there."

Shen Dong helplessly walked to the long bench, placing Kang Yue down, "Seriously, are you hurt or not?"

Kang Yue glanced around and began to lift her skirt.

Shen Dong, startled, quickly turned his head away, but he heard Kang Yue’s teasing voice by his ear, "Good thing I didn’t wear thigh-high stockings."

Uh, Shen Dong thought too much.

Kang Yue stuffed her two long stockings into her bag, gently rubbing her knee, which was red in one spot.

She spoke unhurriedly, "Actually, I just used the opportunity of giving flowers to say a word to Mr. Zhou. He took my business card. There’s a teensy-weensy chance he might call me."

"A teensy-weensy chance?" Shen Dong felt somewhat disappointed.

He had already prepared a strategy for developing a partnership with Mr. Zhou, but on second thought, Mr. Zhou surely wouldn’t be that easy to please.

"Teensy-weensy is pretty good. Back when I was running sales, I’d stake out at a client’s doorstep at three in the morning just to say three sentences. Humph, don’t look down!" Kang Yue was wearing a short dress, and when she bent her knees, a glance downward could reveal too much.

Hearing this, Shen Dong couldn’t resist teasing her, "You know how to be embarrassed?"
