84: Chapter 84 Performance
Immediately, Qin Mo approached with a swaggering gait and blocked a young man's path.
"What are you doing?"
The young man looked at the Qin Mo before him with confusion.
Qin Mo revealed a mysterious smile.
"Young man, do you have any troubles weighing on your mind?"
The young man looked Qin Mo up and down.
"I don't think I know you, do I?"
"Although you don't know me, I know you."
"Your name is Shen Chen, you're from Yanjing, and you work as a circus troupe leader. Am I right?"
Upon hearing this, the young man immediately looked at Qin Mo with a guarded expression.
"You investigated me? What is your goal?"
Hehe...
Qin Mo smiled slightly and continued, "You only need to know that I can help you."
"Help me? Help me with what?"
"If I'm not mistaken, your circus is about to go bankrupt, and I am the person who can help you turn things around."
Shen Chen gave a cold laugh.
"First of all, I'm not sure of your intentions, and I don't believe in free lunches. What are your demands?"
Seeing that the man had finally taken the bait, Qin Mo emotionlessly held up one finger.
"I want ten percent of your circus's revenue tonight. As a condition, I will make your circus's revenue tonight exceed one million."
Shen Chen's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he said with an expression of disbelief:
"Are you kidding me? How is that possible? Do you know how much one million is? That's nearly a year's worth of revenue for me."
"It's up to you if you want to or not."
Qin Mo stood to the side, looking at Shen Chen calmly, not rushing him.
Shen Chen stood to the side, hesitating.
On one hand, the conditions Qin Mo proposed were too tempting; on the other hand, he was still worried about the veracity of Qin Mo's words.
Anyway, it couldn't keep running as it was. Trust him once; what if it really could turn around?
Thinking of this, Shen Chen gritted his teeth.
"Fine! I agree."
Qin Mo nodded with satisfaction.
"You have made a wise decision."
Shen Chen looked at Qin Mo with some curiosity.
"What method do you have?"
"I have my own ways. You just need to wait to collect the money tonight; don't ask so much about the rest."
Shen Chen nodded. As things stood, he could only trust Qin Mo.
Afterward, the two walked toward the location of the circus.
Meanwhile, Qin Mo posted a message on his private account.
...
"What is the Streamer up to? Could he really be able to get money?"
"I believe in Lord Qin Mo. He is a man who creates miracles. Only such a man can conquer me!"
"To the person above, what confidence do you have that Brother Mo would like a woman who looks like Li Kui?"
"I don't care! I am the most beautiful little fairy in the world. He must like me; he's just too shy to confess to me."
"To the person above, what makes you so confident? Is it your photo picking your nose? It made me want to puke..."
"Stop arguing. Everyone, look at Brother Mo's private account. He's going to perform at the Yanjing pedestrian street circus tonight!"
"To the person above? Is the news accurate?"
"Absolutely true!"
"Very good! Keep investigating and reporting! I'm going to carry a train over there overnight to buy tickets."
"You're too slow, upstairs. I'm already almost there carrying a plane!"
"Awesome..."
...
"Aren't we going to hand out flyers or something?"
At this moment, inside the circus, Qin Mo was slumped in a recliner like a big boss.
Shen Chen, who was to the side, asked curiously.
Qin Mo didn't move a muscle and said calmly, "No need, just wait for people!"
"Huh?"
Shen Chen stared with wide eyes at Qin Mo, who was acting like a total boss.
Afterward, he finally couldn't help but say coldly, "Are you messing with me?"
"What do you mean?"
Qin Mo frowned, looking at Shen Chen.
"Since you came here, you've just been lying here. You don't hand out flyers, you don't do any promotion. Are you waiting for people to come to your door on their own?"
"What else? Just do as I say. Stop making noise; you're disturbing my sleep!"
"You..."
Shen Chen was so angry that his face flushed red, and a nameless rage instantly surged in his heart.
"I really didn't expect that you were actually lying to me! Today, when you said you could help me bring the circus back to life, I was really happy. I even thought I had met a benefactor, but now, I guess I was wrong. You are just a scammer!"
"Do you think I'm easy to bully? You came here on purpose to mess with me? I have no grudge against you; why would you do this? Do you know that this circus has been my dream all along..."
"Excuse me... is this the ticket office?"
Just then, a cautious voice came, immediately interrupting Shen Chen.
Shen Chen subconsciously turned his head.
He saw a timid young girl holding cash, looking at him with a confused expression.
"You... you are here to... buy a ticket?"
Shen Chen said in disbelief.
"Yeah! Why else would I be here?"
The girl looked at Shen Chen strangely, as if looking at an idiot.
"Selling! We're selling!"
Shen Chen beamed with joy as he took the cash from the girl's hand, ignoring Qin Mo who was to the side.
Hehe... opened for business!
After buying the ticket, the girl looked around. Upon seeing Qin Mo to the side, her eyes immediately lit up like stars, and she said:
"Lord Qin Mo, will you be performing later?"
Qin Mo lazily sat up and revealed a handsome smile.
"Of course!"
"Yay!!!"
After getting the answer, the girl happily went to choose a seat.
At this moment, Shen Chen, who was to the side, looked blankly at the girl, then at Qin Mo.
"Here... here for you?"
Qin Mo nodded and continued to lie back down.
Seeing this scene, Shen Chen looked at Qin Mo with some guilt.
So he really had made an effort, and he had thought he was a scammer...
Thinking about it, Shen Chen said guiltily, "Um... I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now."
"Mhm."
Qin Mo nodded, seemingly not taking it to heart at all.
"Sigh..."
Shen Chen sighed and said, "Just one person is too few. Although a ticket is 800, the gap to one million is really too big."
"How about this, I'll give you 200 as a reward for bringing in a customer for me. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Mo immediately looked at Shen Chen with the gaze one would use for an idiot.
"Can your circus even open with one customer?"
"This is already considered good. Usually, sometimes there isn't even a single person. In the end, I couldn't even pay wages, and the employees all ran away..."
"As the boss, I work as a ticket seller, an actor, and sometimes I even have to act as security..."
Upon hearing this, the corners of Qin Mo's mouth twitched violently.
This is... too miserable...
Thinking about it, Qin Mo comforted him:
"Don't worry! There will be a lot of customers this time. I guarantee you'll be counting money until your hands cramp."
