"Of course we have to broadcast it!" said Lu Xingxing, the assistant director of "Little Song Gathering." "Such great material shouldn't be wasted."
"Xu Weiyang's team has been strongly urging us to delete this contentious segment," another person said. "If we air it, Xu Weiyang's company will definitely launch a stern negotiation."
"Are we afraid of them?" Lu Xingxing rolled her eyes in disdain. "It wasn't us who set her up. She said those disgusting things herself, and she's blaming us?"
Hou Jun raised his head from his contemplation and said, "This episode wasn't particularly interesting to begin with. It was only with the blessing of the God of Variety Show that we had this footage. If we don't include it in the main episode, we'd be doing the God of Variety Show a disservice."
The others listened to Hou Jun's serious talk about this ridiculous reason and laughed as if it was normal.
"But, let's edit it a bit so the audience doesn't really think Lu Yanhe's previous grades were bad," Hou Jun said. "He's a hard-working kid, and he's singing a new song on our show. He's almost one of us now, so we have to take care of him."
Lu Xingxing nodded in agreement.
"That's true."
"Yan Liang came to help save the day today. We'll arrange for him to appear on our show twice more." Hou Jun added, "He's a good singer. Talk to his agent and have him prepare two songs and come up with a good arrangement that suits him. Don't just do it half-heartedly like they did with 'Dream Chaser' this time."
"This time, the arrangement of 'Dream Chaser' was prepared for Lu Yanhe by his company. His company doesn't take him seriously at all."
Hou Jun curled his lips and said, "If he is not even allowed to appear on the show, how can he take it seriously?"
-
Lu Yanhe didn't know that he was unexpectedly taken care of by the director team of "Xiaoge Juzhonghui".
On Wednesday at noon, Lu Yanhe handed the signed termination agreement to Zhou Pingan.
In order to get the signed termination agreements from Lu Yanhe as soon as possible, Zhou Ping'an ran to the gate of No. 13 Middle School at noon.
After getting it, Zhou Ping'an turned around and left without saying a word.
Lu Yanhe watched Zhou Ping'an walk towards his car parked on the side of the road, curled his lips, and turned to walk into the school.
When I was going upstairs, I happened to meet Chu Saiying coming down with a sullen face.
The moment their eyes met, Chu Saiying looked away, as if she didn't want to look at him at all.
I didn't know what was so urgent about him, so I hurried downstairs.
Before Lu Yanhe entered the classroom, he heard the noisy sounds inside.
It was rare for the classroom to be so noisy in the middle of the day. Almost everyone was talking to the people around them, chatting with each other, and looking excited.
Lu Yanhe walked up to Li Pengfei puzzled and asked, "What's going on?"
Li Pengfei stood up immediately upon seeing him and said, "Guess how Chu Saiying got the recommendation for independent enrollment?"
"Didn't Xu Zijun give up?"
"Do you know why Xu Zijun gave up?" Li Pengfei said indignantly, "Chu Saiying's family spent 200,000 yuan to buy this quota from Xu Zijun's family, forcing Xu Zijun to give up!"
Lu Yanhe opened his eyes wide in shock.
On the day he recorded "The Technical Skills of the Workplace", he wondered if the relationship between Xu Zijun and Chu Saiying was the same as in the program, where some agreement was reached behind the scenes that caused Xu Zijun to give up this indicator. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true!
"How did you know about this?"
"Heh, Chu Saiying sent the message herself, but sent it to the wrong place, to the class group."
Li Pengfei took out his cell phone and showed it to Lu Yanhe. Only then did he see that just five minutes ago, Chu Saiying had sent a message to the class group.
He posted: "Regarding Xu Zijun, have you signed a confidentiality agreement with her and her family? Recently, many classmates have been discussing her giving up the recommendation quota. Make it clear to her family that no word of this can leak out. If anyone finds out, you'll lose the remaining 100,000 yuan."
Obviously, Chu Saiying wanted to send this message to someone else, but whether it was a slip of the hand or for some other reason, he sent the message to the class group.
Someone immediately took screenshots and caused an uproar.
These words did not directly point out that Chu Saiying spent 200,000 yuan to buy the indicator from Xu Zijun's family, but these words were enough for everyone to infer this content.
Lu Yanhe read this passage twice in surprise before returning the phone to Li Pengfei.
"This is really... No wonder I ran into him on the stairs just now. He left in a hurry."
Li Pengfei showed disdain on his face and said, "He ran away because he was guilty."
Lu Yanhe turned around and looked around, but he couldn't find Xu Zijun in the classroom.
"Huh? Where's Xu Zijun?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Li Pengfei shook his head. "I don't know. He was in the classroom just now. I don't know where he went."
Lu Yanhe suddenly thought of the scene when he met Xu Zijun secretly wiping away tears.
-
Li Pengfei never thought of himself as a good student. He was uneducated but he felt justified in thinking that he didn't need to study hard to have a good life in the future.
His life is already very good now, and his future is bright as well.
A typical rich second generation.
He has thought it through. He relies on his father now and his brother in the future.
But he never thought that he had the ability to laugh at or look down on those who worked hard.
On the contrary, he actually admires such people privately.
Just like he admired Lu Yanhe at the beginning, it was because he was surprised that he suddenly changed his personality and suddenly came to school for classes every day that they began to become friends.
Chu Saiying has always wanted to pull him into his camp.
So much time has passed, and Li Pengfei has been indifferent to Chu Saiying's attempts to win him over.
Li Pengfei doesn't care much about class, wealth, or differences, the things that Chu Saiying cares about.
Li Pengfei also doesn't like others using this kind of thing to distinguish between people.
To be a rich second generation who lies down and does nothing, one must have the awareness to lie down and recognize that he is a loser, and then accept the gift of fate with peace of mind - instead of thinking that he can do better than others as long as he works harder.
Li Pengfei was extremely disgusted by what Chu Saiying's family did.
It's simply breaking the bottom line.
"Isn't this just a disguised way of spending money to buy indicators?" Li Pengfei complained to Lu Yanhe dissatisfiedly.
At this time, Luo Zicheng said: "What's wrong with this?"
Lu Yanhe and Li Pengfei both looked at Luo Zicheng in surprise.
Luo Zicheng said nonchalantly, "It's not like we stole Xu Zijun's things for nothing. One sold it for money, and the other was paid for it. It was a consensual thing on both sides. Don't you think it's ridiculous that you're standing up for her?"
Luo Zicheng's words were like a dagger, piercing through a fact that everyone had unanimously overlooked - no matter what, it was Xu Zijun who gave up on this matter, which allowed Chu Saiying to get this recommendation.
