At this moment, Vice President Ma suddenly dropped a bombshell.
"The auditions start this afternoon, so prepare well."
The audience instantly exploded.
"Old Lu," Li Zhibai asked, "Do you know what's going on?"
Among the excited crowd, the three of them seemed out of place and a little different.
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "I don't know, but maybe he didn't want me to get this opportunity, so he did this."
"How shady." Li Zhibai said with disdain, "How shameless they are, finding you so many competitors."
"It's okay. I actually feel more at ease knowing they're doing this. Otherwise, I never know what bad things they're going to do." Lu Yanhe smiled. "You guys should also prepare well. If it really isn't my turn in the end, I'd rather you get the role than let someone else snatch it away. That way, the benefits won't go to outsiders."
Yan Liang looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, not knowing what to say.
It is ten o'clock in the morning.
Li Zhibai said, "Let's just go eat something first. We have an audition later this afternoon, and it's not good to be too full."
"Yes, sure." Lu Yanhe nodded. "Let's go."
The three of them left the company building and went to a restaurant nearby.
The restaurant is a homely place located in a nearby alley.
This store has been open for many years, and they often eat here when they come to the company.
Because it's affordable.
Li Zhibai said, "Being called to a meeting so early in the morning really made me starve to death."
Among the three people, he was the only one who did not have the habit of getting up early and did not eat breakfast, so he came with an empty stomach.
Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang couldn't eat much.
But once the food arrived, the aroma of this home-cooked meal was so tempting that I immediately felt hungry.
"The boss's braised eggplant is incredible," Li Zhibai commented. "I always want to take some home, but it doesn't taste good when I take it home."
As he was speaking, the door was pushed open again.
Cheng Hai and Tu Song walked in.
"Oh, what a coincidence." Cheng Hai saw them and greeted them with a smile.
"What a coincidence! Why are there only two of you?" Li Zhibai asked when he saw them.
There are seven people in a group, three of them share a house, and the remaining four share a house.
It’s just like students being assigned to dormitories. Generally, people who are assigned to the same dormitory will do activities together.
Cheng Hai said: "They said they couldn't eat anymore and needed to prepare, so Tu Song and I came."
"If I don't have enough food, how can I have the energy to audition in the afternoon?" Li Zhibai said, "Let's sit down and eat together."
Cheng Hai and Tu Song shared a table with them and sat down.
Li Zhibai waved his hand again: "Boss, bring over the menu and add two more dishes!"
The boss responded immediately and came over with the menu.
Li Zhibai gestured to give the menu to Cheng Hai and the others.
"What do you want to add, boss? Two more sets of bowls and chopsticks."
"Okay."
They have known each other since they were fifteen or sixteen years old, and have known each other in a group for several years. They have more or less the closeness they had when they were teenagers.
As soon as we sat at the same table, we started chatting.
"Are you planning to go to Chen Ziyan for an interview?" Tu Song asked Lu Yanhe and the others as soon as he sat down.
Li Zhibai immediately said, "I haven't thought about it yet. Yan Liang and Lu Yanhe are both in their third year of high school. Who would want to think about changing managers at this critical moment? However, Zhou Ping'an is really cruel. He actually asked us to kill each other and said that in the end, only three people would be left to lead the team."
Tu Song had a sullen look on his face and said, "You don't need to worry. You and Cheng Hai are both so popular, so he will definitely keep you, unlike us."
"Why are you saying all this? I'm not sure whether I'll stay with him or not." Li Zhibai didn't care and said directly, "He's been managing me for the past few years, but my parents are not very satisfied. They've been mumbling about changing my agent, but I don't know if they will do it."
Li Zhibai's biggest asset wasn't his popularity, but his parents. Compared to the others, Li Zhibai was the one who least needed to look at Zhou Ping'an's face. He wasn't worried about his situation in the company anyway.
Tu Song's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Aren't you going to stay under Zhou Ping'an?"
"Not necessarily. It depends on what my parents think." Li Zhibai looked at Tu Song and said, "Tell me the truth, Tu Song. You and Zhou Ping'an had a bad quarrel before. Do you still want to stay with Zhou Ping'an?"
Previously, regarding the single, Tu Song questioned Zhou Ping'an in front of many people, which made Zhou Ping'an so angry that he scolded him.
Tu Song was helpless and said, "Then I have no other way out. I am not like you guys, who are popular and other agents are willing to take me. If Zhou Pingan doesn't take me, I may not find anyone else in the company who is willing to take me."
"That's not certain. How can you know if you haven't tried it?" Cheng Hai also spoke up. "You're just too cautious. Anyway, you're already a little unhappy with Zhou Ping'an. Why bother hanging on to him? It would be better to contact other agents as soon as possible."
The direction of the topic was inexplicably heavy.
Yan Liang didn't know how to respond.
He was the most obedient and well-behaved among all the people in front of Zhou Ping'an, so it would be inappropriate to say anything at this time.
"Hey, actually, Lu Yanhe, aren't you quite popular these days? Didn't Zhou Ping'an talk to you about it?" Cheng Hai suddenly asked Lu Yanhe.
"He talked to me and asked me to terminate the contract." Lu Yanhe smiled.
Cheng Hai and Tu Song were both stunned.
Only a few people knew about Lu Yanhe's contract termination, and Lu Yanhe had not told anyone else before.
But now Lu Yanhe has changed his strategy.
Since the current situation shows that the termination of the contract has become a foregone conclusion, let more people know what is going on.
It’s not him who wants to terminate the contract with Star Entertainment, it’s Zhou Ping’an who wants to terminate the contract with him, Lu Yanhe.
Let more and more people know about this.
Lu Yanhe didn't know what benefits would come from doing this, but he knew that if he didn't do this, the dirty water of the contract termination would definitely be thrown on his head in the future, and he would not be surprised at what Zhou Ping'an said to slander him.
"Why?" Tu Song asked in disbelief.
He was a little envious of Lu Yanhe's recent popularity. He thought Lu Yanhe would become a strong competitor to stay under Zhou Ping'an, but he didn't expect that Zhou Ping'an would terminate the contract with him?
Lu Yanhe shrugged and said, "I don't know the specific reason. You'll have to ask him. Maybe he thought I wasn't popular enough before."
When Cheng Hai and Tu Song thought about Lu Yanhe's previous performance, they really didn't know what to say.
After all, it was really bad, and everyone felt that it was a drag on the entire group.
Compared with Lu Yanhe's intention to terminate the contract, Tu Song's worries and concerns seemed less heavy.
While they were silent, someone pushed the door open and suddenly said loudly, "Wow, Feng Zhi and these rubbish are eating here too. Why don't we go somewhere else?"
