After joining the penguin group, the Gods greeted everyone: "If you're still alive, make a sound. That troublemaker has come in. Everyone, be low-key, don't scare the little brother away."

Soul of Helan Mountain: "Has Zhou Xing come?"

Dragon Chanting Moon: "That scoundrel has finally come. He actually dared to give a gold alliance before me. Unforgivable!"

Phoenix Dancing in the Clouds: "Hehe, welcome the new member."

Horn of the Wind: "Little brother, quickly show your photo. It's the penguin group rule."

Young Master Hao Yu: "Unfortunately, it's a guy. Why isn't it a girl?"

...

Zhou Xing was instantly flustered, his forehead drenched in cold sweat. Were these a group of tycoons or a bunch of **s?

Scared, he didn't dare to speak!

"Um, everyone, hello," Zhou Xing weakly sent a message, "I'm new here. I'm not good at talking. If I offend anyone, please don't hold back, just beat me to death."

"..."

Silence.

No one expected such a humorous little brother to come in. One sentence directly choked the previously arrogant and overbearing crowd, making them choke on their saliva and unable to speak for a long time.

"Cough, cough." The Gods sent a coughing emoji, followed by a fiercely angry one, and added, "Not bad, kid, looks like you came prepared!"

Zhou Xing: "Big Sister, I'm only seventeen, a minor. Don't bully a kid!"

The Gods were also choked, and after a long time, she said dominantly, "I don't care how old you are! Anyway, you took my gold alliance, so you should give me some compensation, right?"

Zhou Xing: "Whatever you say, I'll do it."

"Wow, quite a big talker!" The Gods' eyes lit up. She flicked a bit of ash from her cigarette, revealing a charming and evil smile: "Brat, you're still too young to play with me." Thinking this, she tapped her delicate fingers on the keyboard: "How about this, if you give a gold alliance to 'Perfect World' in my name, we'll call it even, okay?"

Soul of Helan Mountain, Horn of the Wind, and others were drenched in cold sweat.

The Gods were indeed still so ruthless!

When it came to punishing people, she showed no mercy, not even to a child!

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xing fell silent.

There was no response for a long time.

Hey, hey, hey, at least give a response, right? Although the Gods were just joking, ignoring her completely was a loss of face, wasn't it? Even if you're just a kid, you should still be polite, right? Soul of Helan Mountain, Phoenix Dancing in the Clouds, and others were worried for Zhou Xing. Getting on the bad side of the most fiery-tempered Gods, this kid's future would be tough.

"Is this brat offline?"

The Gods were also stunned.

Could he be so easily scared?

Wait, at this moment, a picture appeared on the computer screen. No, it was a screenshot. Upon closer inspection, the Gods were stunned, and Horn of the Wind, Phoenix Dancing in the Clouds, Soul of Helan Mountain, and others opened their mouths wide, collectively falling silent, as if under a spell, staring at the picture motionless.

The screenshot clearly showed a few lines of text.

"[Reward] Flowers falling from the sky, moved to tears, Mr. Chen Nan deserves this reward! 'Zhou Xing' rewards 'Chen Nan' 10,000,000 Origin Coins: This is on behalf of Big Sister Gods. I'm sorry for taking Big Sister Gods' gold alliance. This reward is to compensate for the hurt to Big Sister Gods' heart."

"Congratulations to 'Zhou Xing' for becoming the gold alliance of 'Perfect World'!"

"This kid actually did it for real! He must have secretly gone to reward!" Soul of Helan Mountain said with a bitter smile.

The others were also speechless. Damn, did he have to be so straightforward?

Unlike their reactions, the Gods were initially surprised, then satisfied, but after realizing, she was extremely frustrated and couldn't help but shout, "Damn brat, you actually became the gold alliance of 'Perfect World' before me!"

Although her fan value was as high as 50 million, Zhou Xing's was only 11 million, but the position of gold alliance was still taken by Zhou Xing!

Despite being frustrated, she couldn't find an excuse to make things difficult for Zhou Xing anymore.

He had agreed to her request without a word and directly rewarded a gold alliance. If she continued to be aggressive, it would seem unreasonable. She adhered to the principle of a tough woman, keeping her promises. If she said the matter was settled, it was settled, and she wouldn't continue to纠缠 (harass).

"I underestimated this kid." The Gods became more curious about Zhou Xing's identity.

Not just the Gods, but Soul of Helan Mountain, Horn of the Wind, Phoenix Dancing in the Clouds, and others were also curious about Zhou Xing's identity.

Who is this little brother?

Zhou Xing in the room let out a sigh of relief. Finally, he had infiltrated the enemy's inner circle, no, the tycoons' inner circle. From now on, he was also a true tycoon! Isn't there a saying that a tycoon's friend is also a tycoon?

"Little brother, what does your family do?"

"Are you still in high school?"

"Kid, do you have a girlfriend? Do you want me to introduce a few to you?"

Zhou Xing, who had just wiped his sweat, opened his eyes wide and directly lied: "My family is a hidden clan. You probably haven't heard of it. I've never gone to school. I have a private tutor who teaches me at home. I study a wide range of subjects, including music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, flowers, and tea, as well as some modern subjects and some tricks. As for a girlfriend, my dad said I shouldn't have one. They've already found three fiancées for me, and I'll marry them when I grow up."

A group of tycoons in front of the computer were stunned.

What is a hidden clan? Studying at home? And three fiancées?

This kid's family is too strange, right? Could he be joking with everyone?

After waiting for a long time with no response, Zhou Xing's sweat came out again, "Are they taking me seriously?" Today, his sweat was particularly frequent.

Zhou Xing's eyes turned, and he sent a message: "I've already said my identity, now it's your turn."

This wasn't a secret, and the Gods and others didn't hesitate, introducing themselves straightforwardly.

Although what they said wasn't entirely true, more than 60% was. Of course, one should be cautious. In certain situations, speaking only half the truth is the way to survive. Here, everyone had gathered because of web novels, a kind of fate, so there was no need to hide too much or reveal too much, leaving oneself with no secrets.

"Big Sister Gods, you said your family is in the entertainment industry?" Zhou Xing's eyes lit up.

"Yes."

"Is your family's influence in the entertainment industry significant?" Zhou Xing asked.

"Pretty good."

"Then..."

"Enough, kid, just say what you want, don't beat around the bush."

"Um, okay, a friend's father used to be a small director, but he was recently blacklisted by the Lin family and kicked out of the entertainment industry. I want you to help..."

Before Zhou Xing could finish, the Gods said, "Is your friend's father Zhou Hong?"

Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment, "How did you know?"

The Gods: "Is your friend Zhou Xing? Zhou Xing, it seems you're Zhou Xing's classmate! But that's not right, you just said you've never been to school, how can you be his classmate? Kid, quickly explain, what's your relationship with Zhou Xing? Were you lying to us just now?"

Zhou Xing swallowed, "Big Sister Gods, did Zhou Xing offend you?"

The Gods: "Not really. But although he didn't offend me, he offended a friend of mine. You, as Zhou Xing's friend, should know that he recently ** a rich girl, and that rich girl is my friend."

Zhou Xing's face turned bitter. He couldn't believe such a coincidence, sighing, "So, there's no room for negotiation?"

The Gods chuckled, "I thought it was something serious, but it's just a small matter. Don't worry, my friend isn't angry anymore. And it was Zhou Xing who ** her, not his father, so we don't need to go after his father. I'll talk to her about it later, and as long as I give her a heads-up, the matter will be settled. But you should warn that guy, if he does it again, don't come to me!"

Zhou Xing jumped up, excited, "Done! Dad, your problem is solved!"

He sent a message in the penguin group: "Thanks, Big Sister Gods, I have to go offline. Dad just called me, it's time to practice martial arts." The main purpose was to say goodbye. As long as he achieved this, he could say anything.

Martial arts?

The Gods, Soul of Helan Mountain, and others' faces changed. Thinking about Zhou Xing's background, they couldn't help but recall some things their elders had said, but whether Zhou Xing was part of that circle still needed to be confirmed, as they hadn't obtained solid evidence yet.

In the living room.

Zhou Hong had just returned and heard a loud cry from his younger son's room: "Done! Dad, your problem is solved!" He couldn't help but shake his head. This kid always acted like he hadn't grown up, but upon closer reflection, he indeed hadn't grown up.

He knocked on the door and asked, "What problem did you solve for me?"

Zhou Xing, who hadn't expected his dad to be back, lost his excitement and said awkwardly, "It's about the blacklist in the entertainment industry. A friend just promised to help lift the blacklist on you."

Would Zhou Hong believe him?

Shaking his head, Zhou Hong said, "You're getting better at making me happy. Although I know it's impossible, I'm still happy."

"Impossible?" Zhou Xing smiled inwardly but didn't argue, "We'll see the results tomorrow."

There was no need to wait until tomorrow. That night, a certain entertainment news program broadcast a piece of information.

The host, with a charming smile, said, "Famous director Lin Zexiong announced: The negative news about assistant director Zhou Hong has been investigated by the relevant authorities... Finally, we warmly welcome Director Zhou Hong back to the entertainment industry. The entertainment industry needs such an excellent director who adheres to principles!"

Seeing this entertainment news...

Zhou Hong's eyes instantly turned red.

He looked up at Zhou Xing's room, seeing the child's head nodding, his eyelids drooping, almost asleep. Zhou Hong was both amused and moved, but mostly relieved. The child had finally grown up and was thinking about his parents. Wasn't this something to be happy about?
