Ren He and Yang Xi returned to San Francisco the next day because they still had four songs left to record, and the owner of the recording studio was waiting for him to come back to work. Although Ren He had taken a week off, the boss didn't know what he had gone to do; such cheap labor must be respected for their personal wishes. Otherwise, if Ren He suddenly quit, it would be his loss, not Ren He's.
Colleagues in the recording studio were quite happy to see Ren He back. He was low-key and amiable, often treating everyone to lunch.
In foreign countries, going Dutch with colleagues is more common, a custom, so when Ren He generously treated everyone, it felt quite novel to them.
During lunch that day, a bunch of people got together, and someone suddenly brought up Knight: "Did you guys see the news? Many people are guessing Knight returned to San Francisco after the challenge!"
Ren He perked up his ears, and someone asked, "What's that based on?"
