"A billion-dollar contract!" Xia Xueqi was so excited she almost jumped up, screaming, "My God, your family seems insanely rich! A partnership worth forty billion!"
"Barely okay," Bill Bragg decisively returned to his assertive nature, casually brushing his hair, "I can’t call it a trifle, that’d be way too arrogant. Let’s say it’s a medium gesture, since the market isn’t that big after all."
Damn, how did this amazing guy become Brother Hao’s follower...
"Awesome, awesome," Xia Xueqi exclaimed with admiration, "Ah, you really can’t compare people... But you made the right call this time, mixing with Brother Hao is guaranteed not to disappoint you!"
"Definitely," Bill Bragg boasted proudly, "The Brage family has always been spot on in judging people! Miss Ice Princess is by far the most perfect woman I’ve ever met, a pity that we’re incompatible, no chance there. But being able to hang with the boss, I have a premonition that it will be smooth sailing from here on!"
Both Wang Hao and another person had only one thought in their minds at this point, Brother Hao is awesome! Like a legendary figure!
"Alright, I won’t disturb you anymore," Bill Bragg stood up, saying, "I’m going to rest now. You should get some sleep too. Oh, and let’s exchange contact info, anything comes up we can get in touch anytime."
"Sure," Xia Xueqi took out her phone, "Feel free to contact me whenever."
They exchanged contact information, and then Bill Bragg went off to rest.
The next morning, Wang Hao only managed to crawl out of bed at ten.
Absorbing the Evil Qi from the Heart of the Ocean really wore him out; he fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed last night. It seems like the energy was quite significant.
"Today is the day of my darlings’ concert," Wang Hao got up, washed, dressed, and while brushing his teeth, continued, "There’s bound to be a big crowd at the concert. I need to get there early. After all, it’s my sweetie’s big day; can’t drop the ball now."
As he was thinking, his phone suddenly rang. Picking it up, it was Ren Xing calling!
"Hello, what’s happening?" Wang Hao rinsed his mouth and answered the call, "Is there another piece of good news?"
"Brother Hao, you can’t be serious?!" Ren Xing shouted from the other side of the line, "Today is Ice Princess’s concert day! Don’t tell me you forgot!"
Damn, how could I forget? I was just planning for it!
"How could I forget," Wang Hao said, puzzled, "Isn’t it starting at eight tonight? I haven’t even had breakfast yet..."
"Forget about breakfast," Ren Xing yelled, "Where are you? I’m coming to get you!"
"I’m at home," Wang Hao was even more bewildered, "The concert isn’t until eight tonight, why the rush? There’re still ten hours to go!"
"I’ll be there soon!" Ren Xing hung up hastily, leaving Wang Hao clueless—what’s actually going on?
After leaving his house, Wang Hao waited at the roadside for Ren Xing, and then...
Ren Xing arrived very quickly, Wang Hao was certain he must’ve driven at 120 in a 60-speed zone—he had barely waited ten minutes before Ren Xing appeared at the main gate of the residential area, with a few close friends like Zhao Zhenhao, Fang Wenbin, and Wang Mengfei following. Ren Xing rushed over to Wang Hao, gesturing frantically, "Brother Hao, get in quick! The concert starts at eight, we won’t get a chance if we don’t hurry!"
"It’s only ten in the morning! Is it that urgent?" Wang Hao got into the passenger seat, and after getting in, he noticed a beauty sitting in the back, hurriedly greeting, "Mu Qing is here too!"
"Hello, Brother Hao," Zhang Muqing smiled sweetly, "It’s been a while since I last saw Brother Hao."
"All good, all good," Wang Hao grinned and nodded, "You’ve been well lately... Ah, ah, ah...!"
He had barely sat down when Ren Xing was already speeding like mad!
"Slow down, slow down!" Wang Hao felt his heart almost leap out, "It’s just ten o’clock now, there are ten hours left, what’s the rush? I haven’t eaten yet! Neither King and our agent have been informed!"
"Forget about them, I’ve already contacted them, they’ll be here soon, let’s go in first!" Ren Xing was sweating bullets, "It’s ten o’clock now, even with two more hours it might not be enough!"
Is it really that exaggerated?
Wang Hao clearly had no concept of the situation, but he quickly found out...
Bai Yaning’s concert was at the Si Hai Gymnasium in the Central South Third Ring of Zhonghai City, normally just a half-hour drive from his neighborhood.
Just five minutes after Ren Xing started driving, Wang Hao realized the car wasn’t going anywhere!
The whole area around the Si Hai Gymnasium was swamped with people! Dozens of laser beams crisscrossed in the sky, and the crowd’s screams and cheers merged into one loud wave!
"Get out, we’ll have to walk from behind!" Ren Xing quickly parked the car in a spot he had reserved in advance, and then got out to squeeze through, "Brother Hao, hurry up! If we don’t push through with all our might, we won’t be able to get into the venue! Those brainy bastards arrived four hours early! Damn, I overslept today!"
"We’re nearly three kilometers from the gymnasium, aren’t we?!" Wang Hao yelled incredulously, "And from here it’s impassable?!"
"Brother Hao, did you time travel?!" Wang Mengfei hurried along beside them, saying, "Miss Ice Princess’s concerts are always this explosive, you have to find a spot at least ten or more hours early, otherwise, you won’t even be able to hear a sound if you arrive late!"
What the fuck, this exaggerated?! Our Meme’s popularity... is seriously too fierce, right?!
Now Wang Hao knew why there was such a rush—the entire area surrounding the Si Hai Gymnasium had been placed under strict security, with eighteen helicopters patrolling the skies, streets awash in neon lights, and seas of people bustling around, each with a crazed look on their faces, all shouting the name of one person, the one and only name!
"Ice Princess!" "Ice Princess!" "Ice Princess!"
Wang Hao broke into a sweat, even seeing some people so overwhelmed with excitement, their faces covered with tears and snot, screaming at the top of their lungs—
"Ice Princess! I love you!"
"Miss Ice Princess, don’t go! Don’t leave me!"
"Miss Ice Princess, give us one more look!"
The whole venue was filled with such shouts, Wang Hao felt a tingling in his scalp and asked, "Holy shit, how many people are there?!"
"How many people?" Ren Xing, pulling along Zhang Muqing and squeezing through, said, "There are over eighty thousand people who could get into the venue gathered here, and who knows how many couldn’t buy tickets, not to mention the two thousand or more security staff. All the available security guards in Zhonghai City are almost used up."
It was clear that the two thousand and more security guards were already overwhelmed by the crowd of indeterminate size, still summoning reinforcements from all directions, the situation was no less frantic than a battle!
