Luo Yuzhong's reply made Lu Yanhe feel relieved.
It’s the director’s attitude that makes people feel at ease.
It would be a problem if Luo Yuzhong didn't respond to this matter. If he did respond, it means that his idea is correct.
It was Chen Ziliang and Zhou Pingan who were talking. No one mentioned Luo Yuzhong's attitude, as if it didn't matter at all. It seemed that as long as Chen Ziliang wanted to act, he would be able to do it.
A small thing gave Lu Yanhe a slightly different feeling.
He was glad that he didn't believe everything he heard.
-
After Zhou Ping'an finished painting a rosy picture for Li Zhi, he came to see Yan Liang again.
In front of Yan Liang, his attitude was not as enthusiastic, and he even acted like a leader bossing his subordinates around.
"Yan Liang, how's your exam preparation been these days? Is it tough?" Yan Liang asked, and without waiting for an answer, he immediately changed the subject, "I've always been very optimistic about you. You can feel it yourself. Among all these young people, I've always been more concerned about you. I'll always think of you when there's any good opportunity."
Yan Liang immediately said, "Yes, I know, and I have always been grateful to Brother Ping An."
"You're different from Li Zhibai and Cheng Hai. You haven't been very popular since the beginning of the competition, but you've always been obedient and hardworking. Do you know what I admire most about you? Your unwavering dedication and hard work." Zhou Ping'an looked directly at Yan Liang, as if emphasizing the effect of his words with his eyes, and nodded at the end. "This is a very important quality for an artist. Some artists explode right off the bat and become famous overnight, like Ma Zhiyuan from MX. But others, on the other hand, rely on perseverance and hard work to finally seize their opportunities and achieve fame."
Yan Liang hummed.
This was not the first time Yan Liang had heard these words from Zhou Ping'an. In the past few years, Zhou Ping'an had repeated these same words over and over again, and they had become words of comfort and encouragement to Yan Liang in his heart.
"Chen Ziyan is back. I think you young people should be ready to make some moves, right?" Now comes the point.
Zhou Ping'an mentioned Chen Ziyan seemingly in a casual chat.
Yan Liang immediately said, "I haven't. I've always wanted to stay with you. I know you've always taken special care of me."
Zhou Ping'an smiled with satisfaction.
"However, this is also my fault. There are seven people in Fengzhi, and I insisted on eliminating one of them. I said that only three people will remain. This is bound to make you a little uneasy. In fact, I am telling you the truth in private. I will not keep only three people. They are all artists I have trained myself. I have trained them for two or three years. How could I be willing to give them up? Except for a few who I don't want to train, I will still train them in the end. I said that before only to stimulate your potential, to make you work hard and have a sense of crisis. Look at how popular MX is now. We Fengzhi can't compete with them as a group, but after the group disbands, you will be individuals fighting alone. I hope you can be more proactive."
Deep in Yan Liang's heart: "..."
"Someone in our group should have contacted other managers, right?" Zhou Ping'an inquired casually. "Actually, I understand. You're all good kids. It's me who sometimes makes you feel insecure."
Yan Liang silently suppressed the alligator whimpering in his heart and said, "I'm not too sure about the others. I don't usually interact with the four people from Chenghai, especially in the past year. There haven't been any group activities, so I've seen them even less. Lu Yanhe and Li Zhibai are more familiar with each other. Lu Yanhe has been focusing on his studies lately, reading every day. I guess he doesn't have the time or energy to contact others. Li Zhibai doesn't care about these things even more. As long as no one disturbs him from sleeping in, that's fine with him."
Zhou Ping'an laughed.
"You guys are still the same as you were two years ago. You are truly the children I watched grow up."
-
The small group of three people became active.
Yan Liang: His question left me speechless. Could it be that he expected me to tell tales on him?
Li Zhibai: Disgusting.
Lu Yanhe: I second the motion.
Yan Liang: Are you guys free tonight? Let's have some spicy hot pot together.
Lu Yanhe: I can.
Li Zhibai: I don’t know. I have a job in the next city. I don’t know what time it will end in the afternoon. I will come over if I can make it.
Yan Liang: Okay, let’s make an appointment for now. I really have a lot to complain about. Every time this happens, I envy Li Zhibai. I also hope that I have a family background that allows me to be unscrupulous towards him and confront him if I am unhappy.
Li Zhibai: It’s okay, I’ll fight back for you next time.
Several people were chatting in the group.
Lu Yanhe suddenly reminded: You must remember not to send messages to the wrong group. In our class, a message was sent to the wrong person in the class group, and the person ended up exposing the scandal.
Li Zhibai: What you said made me take a quick look.
Yan Liang: I was also shocked, and my hair stood on end.
Lu Yanhe: Anyway, when you complain about others, remember to read carefully and don’t post it in the wrong place, otherwise you will be in trouble.
Li Zhibai asked: How's the drama "The Golden Era" going? Did Chen Ziliang steal your role?
Lu Yanhe: Probably not.
Li Zhibai: That’s good.
Li Zhibai: I met him today. His face was shiny black, as if everyone in the world owed him five million, grandson.
Lu Yanhe: You didn’t have a conflict with him, right?
Li Zhibai: I had no conflict with him, so I just ignored him.
-
Chen Ziliang's face was really dark today.
Yan Wei was tired, but he had to coax him in a good temper, saying, "Ziliang, Liu Zhilan greeted you just now, but you ignored her. After all, she is a senior."
"A washed-up singer, what's the point of calling him a senior?" Chen Ziliang complained bluntly, "Damn it, these old guys just rely on their seniority and look down on us. Luo Yuzhong is also a decadent guy. I don't know what benefits Lu Yanhe gave him, but he doesn't even care about me. I, a rising star, offered him a cameo role, but he refused. What a bunch of crap!"
Yan Wei took a deep breath and suppressed his speechlessness and complaints in his heart.
"Old directors like Luo Yuzhong really can't be influenced by us. I think he's actually very polite and respectful to you. He came out to have dinner with you as soon as you invited him." Yan Wei knew how to hit Chen Ziliang's nail on the head. "Others want to invite him to dinner, do you think it's that easy? The main thing is that you're a singer, and they always think more about who will play this role. Jiang Yuqian auditioned for his plays several times, but she didn't get it."
Chen Ziliang glanced at him and snorted, his temper somewhat softened, but he still said, "If I invite him to dinner and he doesn't even bother to show up, then all these years have been wasted."
-
In the evening, after Lu Yanhe finished his evening self-study, he took the bus back, got off the bus, and walked straight to the Malatang stall.
He was the last one to arrive; Li Zhibai and Yan Liang had already started eating.
"Hey, you're here." Li Zhibai greeted him and patted the chair reserved for him.
Besides them, there were a few other people at the stall, who looked like residents nearby. Some were wearing pajamas, and some had a bag of snacks at their feet. It looked like they were out for a walk, bought something, and then stopped by to eat some spicy hot pot before leaving.
The three handsome boys still attracted attention.
Under the gaze of everyone, the three people were too embarrassed to speak. There was nothing to say, so they just ate in silence.
"Are you celebrities?" Sure enough, someone couldn't help but ask.
Lu Yanhe pointed at his school uniform and said, "Going to school."
"Oh." The questioner nodded, suddenly realizing what was going on. After a moment, he added, "You can become celebrities. You're quite handsome."
"Thanks."
This is the time when residents of nearby communities come out to eat spicy hot pot soup - these people have been tempted by their gluttony since around eight or nine o'clock, and around ten o'clock in the evening, they can no longer bear it and run out.
The group of people were eating with their mouths full of oil, and they were very happy.
So is Lu Yanhe.
It’s really nice to eat hot spicy hot pot after evening self-study.
After a while, when everyone else had finished eating and left, and no one else came, Yan Liang finally took the opportunity to say, "I want to find another agent."
This sentence shocked Li Zhibai and Lu Yanhe.
"Ah?" the two people said in unison.
In their eyes, Yan Liang was the one who was most obedient to Zhou Ping'an, and Yan Liang was also the one who was least likely to leave Zhou Ping'an.
Even Li Zhibai hadn't said he wanted to change his agent, but Yan Liang suddenly said this.
Yan Liang said, "I'm really fed up with him. Besides, I've seen through him over the past two years. He's always promising you something, dangling you with a carrot, but in reality, he has nothing to offer. I'd like to take this opportunity to change my agent."
"Do you have a goal?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Yan Liang: "I'm going to try Chen Ziyan."
"Oh." Lu Yanhe was a little surprised and nodded.
Yan Liang said, "Old Lu, you'll sign up too, right?"
"Yeah." Lu Yanhe nodded, "I'll give it a try too."
"If I don't succeed, then forget it. However, since I've tried, Zhou Ping'an will definitely get the news, and he probably won't take me with him anymore." Yan Liang sighed, "But I'm still determined. I'll never get ahead if I stay with him."
"I'm surprised you could make such a decision," Li Zhibai said. "I thought you would never take this step."
"In the past few months, I've been quite touched by watching Lao Lu," Yan Liang said. "Giving up the art exam and taking the college entrance exam directly was such a big decision, but he did it right away. Later, whether it was "The Golden Age" or other things, Lao Lu was always brave enough to make changes. I was infected by him. I always worried that changes might not be for the better, and what if the situation got worse. Now I think about it, who cares? If I don't change, it will never get better. I know that Zhou Ping'an doesn't think much of me. In his eyes, I'm just a tool that will always be obedient. In this situation, how can I possibly make a name for myself? I don't want to be an 18th-tier artist forever."
"You're awesome! You made the right decision." Li Zhibai nodded, expressing his approval. "It's just that we're short of wine. Now's the perfect time for a drink."
Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang shook their heads.
Li Zhibai annoyed the two high school seniors and asked the boss for a can of beer to drink himself.
Someone else is coming.
The three of them stopped talking.
After eating and drinking, we paid the bill and left.
Because of this, Lu Yanhe started the live broadcast at around 11 o'clock in the evening.
When Helan saw the live broadcast notification and clicked on it, he couldn't help but say in the barrage: Don't study too late every day, your body can't take it.
Lu Yanhe saw it.
Lu Yanhe smiled at the familiar ID's remarks and explained, "It's okay. I feel like my body can handle it. If it doesn't, I'll rest. There are only a few months left, so I want to take advantage of this time to give it a try."
A group of people were typing “6666666” in the barrage.
Lu Yanhe gathered his attention and returned to the book.
-
At this point in time, everyone is thinking about their own future and planning for their own future.
Li Zhibai was quite touched by the fact that Yan Liang was planning to change his agent.
He wasn't kidding.
Li Zhibai was the most resigned among the three, and he had always been aware of this.
Because you don't need to work hard, you are lucky and very popular.
With his family at his back, people like Zhou Ping'an wouldn't dare say anything bad to him.
But people always have some ideas.
He is not an artist simply because he has nothing to do and wants to have fun with his identity.
The reason I participated in that talent show was more or less because I had some interest in this area.
Following Zhou Ping'an didn't have much impact on him.
In fact, from an objective point of view, Zhou Ping'an was very nice to him.
Zhou Ping'an is just like that. He will care about whoever can make money for him.
But what happens next?
What kind of artist does he want to be?
Singer, actor, or something else?
Li Zhibai lay on the bed and thought for a long time, but he couldn't come up with any result.
He had never thought about it before, and he didn't have so many ambitions and dreams. Now when he suddenly thought about it, he could only come up with some empty things, such as superstar, or movie emperor.
But this is too unrealistic and not controllable.
…
Sigh, people can’t work hard just because they want to. It’s so difficult to find a goal, so how can they work hard?
-
If Lu Yanhe knew what Li Zhibai was thinking, he would immediately feel a sense of déjà vu.
Isn’t it the same with Li Pengfei?
These two rich second-generations are both optimists who have no worries about food and drink and are carefree.
It's just that Li Zhibai is somewhat pushed by his identity as an artist and Zhou Ping'an, so he doesn't seem to be as bad as Li Pengfei before.
When Lu Yanhe woke up, he received a message from Li Pengfei: I have taken a leave of absence today and cannot go to school. Please help me get a courier from the mail room and put it in my drawer.
Lu Yanhe: Okay.
He asked again: Why did you ask for leave?
Didn't reply for a long time.
After Lu Yanhe got on the bus, Li Pengfei replied: I have a stomachache. I was so upset last night that I couldn't sleep all night. I'm on an IV drip now.
Lu Yanhe: Are you in the hospital?
Li Pengfei: No, I asked a doctor to come to my house.
Lu Yanhe: “…”
I’m so envious. If you get sick, you can just get an IV drip at home.
He replied: Okay, then you should have a good rest.
Li Pengfei emphasized again: Don’t open the express for me, just put it in my drawer.
Lu Yanhe: Why would I open your package?
Li Pengfei: Reminder, reminder.
-
In December, the temperature dropped several degrees again.
Lu Yanhe had to travel between the school and the dormitory in the wind and snow every day, so he bought himself a scarf and gloves. Not only that, three days after buying the scarf and gloves, he immediately bought himself a pair of earmuffs.
It's too cold.
I don’t know what Li Pengfei bought and why he specifically asked him to come to the message room to get it.
Even if he doesn't come today, he can still pick it up at the reception desk when Li Pengfei arrives tomorrow. Is he afraid someone else might take it by mistake? Is it so precious?
Lu Yanhe walked into the classroom holding a basketball-sized express box.
Mei Ping bumped into him and quickly moved aside, saying, "Lu Yanhe, I'm impressed by your handsomeness again."
"Haha, I'm also impressed by your beauty." Lu Yanhe said with a smile.
Mei Ping's eyes fell on the express box in Lu Yanhe's hand and asked, "What did you buy?"
"It's not mine, it's Li Pengfei's."
"Him? He's not here today." Mei Ping took a curious look, took two steps, and suddenly remembered something, reminding, "Oh, right, you weren't in the classroom just now. Teacher Su said he would come to talk to everyone about the Hundred Days' Reform at 12:30 this afternoon."
Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "Okay, thank you."
This express package can't fit into Li Pengfei's drawer.
He put the express under Li Pengfei's desk, sent him a message and said something.
Li Pengfei: OK.
Lu Yanhe: It's not something valuable, is it? How about I put it in Teacher Liu's office for you? You can pick it up from Teacher Liu tomorrow?
Li Pengfei: No, please don't! Just put it under my desk. It's okay. It's not something valuable.
Lu Yanhe: Okay.
This was so mysterious that Lu Yanhe was very curious about what Li Pengfei had bought.
He stuffed it under Li Pengfei's desk.
When Jiang Haitian saw it, he also asked what it was.
Lu Yanhe: "I don't know."
Jiang Haitian hissed and said, "It can't be some weird things, right? Tsk tsk."
"What strange thing?" Ying Hetian also asked.
Jiang Haitian's eyes rolled and he chuckled twice, "What else could it be? Porn films, or some sexy magazines. Otherwise, why would he send them to school? Why not send them home? He bought them without telling his family. What else could it be?"
The same obscene smile appeared on Ying Hetian's face.
None of them noticed that Luo Zicheng, who was sitting in front, looked back after hearing what they said.
-
Star Entertainment Agency.
Zhou Ping'an was a little confused when he received the stamped contract returned by the "Golden Age" production company.
Stamped?
This role was given to Lu Yanhe?
Zhou Ping'an was stunned for a while.
Didn't Chen Ziliang handle it? It's so rubbish?
"Knock knock."
Someone knocks on the door.
Zhou Pingan: "Come in."
He turned the contract upside down on the table and looked up at the person who came.
He was a little surprised by the person who opened the door and walked in.
"Oh, Zi Yan, why did you come here suddenly?" Zhou Ping'an didn't expect that the person who knocked on the door was Chen Zi Yan.
Chen Ziyan smiled slightly and said, "It's been so long since we last met, can't I just meet you?"
"Oh, I couldn't be happier that you're willing to come to my place." Zhou Pingan hurriedly stood up and invited Chen Ziyan to sit in the reception area. He asked, "What would you like to drink? Coffee? Tea?"
Chen Ziyan: "Coffee bar, American, thank you."
Zhou Pingan used the office coffee machine to make two cups of coffee, brought them to her, and said, "Do you need me for something?"
"I do have something to discuss with you," Chen Ziyan said frankly. "I've taken a liking to someone you're managing. How about transferring him to me?"
Zhou Ping'an's eyelids twitched and he looked at Chen Ziyan in surprise.
Are you so confident in robbing people?
Zhou Ping'an really didn't expect that Chen Ziyan would actually run up to him and ask him for someone.
He was a little flustered at this moment and didn't react.
Does Chen Ziyan want Cheng Hai or Li Zhibai?
These two are the most popular artists under his management, and Zhou Pingan subconsciously thought of them.
He doesn't want to let either of these two people go.
"Zi Yan, you've already set your sights on me since you came back." Zhou Ping'an gave a wry smile, "I've worked so hard to cultivate you for so long, and I've been so loyal to you."
"Don't worry, I won't make you feel bad. Those you've been focusing on training, unless they contact me and want to leave, then I'll seriously consider it." Chen Ziyan said, "If someone hadn't asked me to help with this matter and asked me to take care of it, I wouldn't have asked you this. I don't like to steal other people's artists to coach."
Zhou Pingan thought, if you don't want to steal other people's artists, then what are you doing now?!
He smiled and said, "Hey, who is so influential that he can ask you to take care of him?"
"Mao Bingyu, you know, she was also an artist I managed back then. Later, she retired from the circle for some personal reasons. I have kept in touch with her over the years. She said that she has a nephew in our company, and he is in your hands." Chen Ziyan said.
"Mao Bingyu?" Zhou Pingan was surprised. He certainly remembered this once famous star. "Who is her nephew?"
"Tu Song," Chen Ziyan said, "Now you understand why I came to see you, right?"
Zhou Ping'an was very surprised.
He has been taking care of Tu Song for almost three years, but he never knew that Tu Song was Mao Bingyu's nephew.
Tu Song himself never said it.
"Tu Song doesn't want others to know that he's Mao Bingyu's nephew, nor does he want to use Mao Bingyu's connections to help his career. This time, Mao Bingyu also approached me privately, hoping that I could help him without letting Tu Song know." Chen Ziyan said, "I've inquired, and Tu Song isn't an artist you usually focus on training. Transferring him to me won't hurt you. I think you'll make a decision by the end of the month to stop training him. I came to see you now because I want to transfer him to me before you eliminate him, so as not to let this kid lose confidence. I owe you a favor."
Zhou Ping'an was silent.
He didn't expect that the person Chen Ziyan wanted was Tu Song.
If it was Tu Song, then indeed, he wouldn't be reluctant to give him up even if he passed him on to Chen Ziyan. As Chen Ziyan had said, he hadn't planned to continue with Tu Song. Besides, being able to earn a favor from Chen Ziyan was quite worth it.
"Okay, since you came to me in person, I have to give you this favor." Zhou Pingan laughed, "But aren't you looking for artists from the entire company? Besides Tu Song, don't you have anyone else in mind?"
Zhou Ping'an was still worried that Chen Ziyan would take a fancy to Cheng Hai and Li Zhibai, so he snatched them away.
Zhou Ping'an has no confidence at all in competing with Chen Ziyan, this girl is too legendary.
Chen Ziyan glanced at him, making him feel that his thoughts were seen through.
She smiled and said, "Don't worry. As I said before, I never like to steal other people's artists. I won't steal the artists you are focusing on training."
-
Li Pengfei was not in school, so Lu Yanhe went to the cafeteria to eat alone.
The weather outside was too cold, and Lu Yanhe went to the playground less often. He would rather stay in the classroom than go out.
As soon as you step out of the classroom, the wind blows towards you like a knife, not just freezing you but hurting you.
"Hey, who opened this box?" Lu Yanhe was reading a book at his seat when he suddenly heard Jiang Haitian ask in surprise.
box?
Lu Yanhe looked back.
Jiang Haitian pointed at the express box under Li Pengfei's desk.
Everyone around looked here.
Lu Yanhe also looked down and found that the express box that was originally sealed with tape had been cut open in the middle at some point. Because it was still folded, it was not obvious. Only when you looked closely could you see that the express box had been opened.
He couldn't help but frown.
He was in the classroom all morning and never left the room. He left for lunch at noon and came back after lunch. The express box must have been opened by someone when he left.
However, Lu Yanhe went to the cafeteria quite late, and many classmates had already returned from the cafeteria. There were quite a few people in the classroom. If someone ran over to open the express box, someone should have seen it.
"Who opened it?" Jiang Haitian turned around, faced the whole class, and asked loudly.
The classmates then looked over, and many of them didn't know what had happened.
Jiang Haitian pointed at the delivery box and said, "Did anyone see who opened it? It's Li Pengfei's package. Who was so bored as to open it while he was away?"
No one spoke.
There is no surveillance in the senior high school classroom, so it is impossible to verify. If no classmates saw it, then this person does not exist.
Lu Yanhe thought for a moment, then turned to ask the students sitting around him if they had seen anyone come to Li Pengfei's seat just now.
But everyone shook their heads.
"have no idea."
"No."
"I just got back to the classroom too."
…
At noon, everyone went out to eat or chat with classmates outside, and no one paid special attention to Li Pengfei's desk.
Moreover, since the water dispenser in the class is at the back, students in the front row have to go to the back to get water, and no one will find it strange.
Lu Yanhe called Li Pengfei.
"Hello? What's the matter?" Li Pengfei answered the phone and asked.
"I don't know who opened your package just now. What did you buy? Let me see if anything is missing." Lu Yanhe said.
If something is lost, the person who stole it is the one who opened the package privately.
Li Pengfei was shocked. "Someone opened my package? Who's that idiot?"
Lu Yanhe: "I just don't know who it is. Everyone went to eat at noon, so I didn't see it."
"I'm speechless. I bought a pair of gloves and was going to give them to..." Li Pengfei said, and hesitated again, "I was going to give them to Xu Zijun. I saw that she had frostbite."
Lu Yanhe showed a surprised expression.
He opened the package and took a look. There was indeed a pair of gloves inside. It was obvious through the transparent packaging bag that there was a pair of pink women's gloves.
Lu Yanhe suddenly understood.
No wonder Lu Yanhe wanted to send it to school and refused to give it to Teacher Liu, and he hesitated and refused to say what it was.
If people knew about this, they would definitely suspect that he was secretly in a relationship and wanted to give it to his girlfriend.
He had no doubt that Li Pengfei was in love with Xu Zijun. He knew Li Pengfei well enough, and if he fell in love with someone, he wouldn't be able to hide it. He bought these gloves for Xu Zijun because he had recently noticed a girl like her in the class. She came from a poor family, and now that winter was approaching, she had frostbite on her hands. So he wanted to be a good person and give her a pair of gloves. It was that simple.
"It's just a pair of gloves, right? Okay." Lu Yanhe said, "The item is still there, it's not lost."
He hung up the phone and said to Jiang Haitian and the others, "It's just a pair of gloves. Nothing's lost. I don't know who opened his package, but that's it."
As long as nothing is lost.
Jiang Haitian was very puzzled, "I don't know who would do such a thing."
"Is it intentional?" Ying Hetian suddenly thought of something. "This morning we were talking about this thing Li Pengfei bought and how he didn't dare send it home. Maybe it's something he didn't want his family to find. Someone thought it was some pornographic film or something, so they wanted to secretly open it and take a look?"
Hearing this, Jiang Haitian looked at Ying Hetian in shock and said, "Who is so hungry?"
Ying Hetian smiled obscenely again.
"Then this is very likely."
“…”
Lu Yanhe fell into deep thought.
Maybe it’s not to see those things, but to confirm whether those things are inside?
Lu Yanhe suddenly saw Luo Zicheng also looking at them.
As soon as Lu Yanhe looked over, Luo Zicheng immediately turned his head back.
“…”
Forget it, nothing is lost anyway, so who cares.
At this time, Li Pengfei sent him another message: Don’t tell others, these gloves are for Xu Zijun. If they know, they will definitely complain and have bad ideas.
Lu Yanhe: I know. I haven’t told anyone. Don’t worry.
-
Two days later, Lu Yanhe saw the gloves on Xu Zijun's hands.
He smiled.
I don’t know when Li Pengfei sent it out.
However, the weather is really getting colder and colder.
Especially in the morning, when Lu Yanhe got off the bus with the heating on, the cold wind rushed over like a tide, and he felt as if he was hit by a freezing magic. His whole body shivered, and his warm body instantly became cold.
Lu Yanhe hopes this winter will pass quickly.
He learned that Tu Song was chosen by Chen Ziyan.
This news caused a huge uproar in Star Entertainment Agency, including among several people in Fengzhi.
Even Tu Song himself was confused and didn't know why.
Tu Song said that he didn't even submit the application form because he felt that Chen Ziyan would definitely not be interested in him.
Everyone said Tu Song was incredibly lucky.
This news did not cause much fluctuation in his heart.
Anyway, he has already submitted his application form. He doesn't know whether Chen Ziyan will take a fancy to him. It would be best if she is chosen, but if not, he won't force it.
Lu Yanhe's current focus has always been on studying.
After all, the college entrance examination is getting closer and closer. He feels that if he wants to be admitted to Zhenhua or Yuming, he still has a lot of room for improvement and he does not have the ability yet.
But at this time, Chen Ziyan took the initiative to add him as a friend.
Lu Yanhe was a little surprised when he saw the friend request message.
——I am Chen Ziyan.
He accepted Chen Ziyan's friend request with surprise, holding the phone, not knowing how to greet her for a moment.
It’s not appropriate to call her Miss Chen, and it’s even more inappropriate to call her Sister Zi Yan. Should I call her Ms. Chen?
Lu Yanhe hesitated for a long time, and finally addressed him as "you": Hello, I am Lu Yanhe.
-
It was snowing heavily. After class at noon, many students filed out of the teaching building, trampling the thick layer of snow on the ground into an ugly mud.
Lu Yanhe walked in the opposite direction of most people and headed towards the school gate.
After adding Chen Ziyan as a friend yesterday, Chen Ziyan didn't say anything else to him. She just asked him where he would be today, and then asked him to meet at a cafe near the school at noon today.
I didn't expect it to snow so heavily today.
When he reached the school gate, Lu Yanhe saw a layer of snow on his shoulders.
He had to frequently brush off the snow that fell on him to prevent it from melting and soaking his clothes.
Lu Yanhe walked out of the school gate and followed the instructions on the map to the cafe two hundred meters away.
My feet were frozen and I felt like I had lost consciousness walking in the snow.
Fortunately, it wasn’t far and only took two minutes to walk there.
When I opened the door, a warm breeze hit me in the face.
Lu Yanhe felt like he came back to life in an instant.
Chen Ziyan sat in a window seat inside.
She is actually a very beautiful woman, with long wavy hair, a generous and magnanimous face, bright and charming. She wears a white jacket and a pair of long boots. Sitting there, it looks like a blockbuster film set.
Several people around were secretly looking at her.
Lu Yanhe walked over and called out, "Hello."
Chen Ziyan was staring out the window in a daze. When she saw Lu Yanhe, she nodded and motioned him to sit down.
"Haven't you had lunch yet?" She pushed the menu in front of Lu Yanhe. "Let's see what we're having. We can talk while we eat."
The cafe only has some sandwiches and salads to order.
Lu Yanhe ordered a smoked chicken sandwich.
Chen Ziyan waved her hand and a waiter came over immediately.
She ordered a smoked chicken sandwich, a vegetarian salad, a fruit platter, and a latte for Lu Yanhe.
"Okay." Chen Ziyan looked at the menu quickly, almost without hesitation, and even told the waiter a few names, then closed the menu and returned it to them.
After the waiter left, she looked at Lu Yanhe and asked, "How are your grades now?"
"It's okay. I ranked over 160th in the grade in the last exam," said Lu Yanhe.
"Where is the target?"
Lu Yanhe said these two names for the first time with some embarrassment: "Zhenhua and Yuming."
Although Chen Ziyan's reaction was not as unbelievable as others, there was still a flash of surprise in her eyes. Indeed, it was hard for anyone to imagine that Lu Yanhe would really target these two top universities.
"I watched your livestream and thought you were just putting on a show, but I didn't expect you to actually be studying." Chen Ziyan asked, "Why don't you take the art exam? If you do, the college entrance exam score requirement is much lower."
Lu Yanhe said: "Taking the art exam requires a lot of training, and I don't have the ability and conditions to participate."
"What exactly happened between you and Zhou Ping'an that made him want to force you away?" Chen Ziyan asked.
"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.
"Didn't you sign a termination agreement with him? After the college entrance exam, you will terminate the agreement with the company." Chen Ziyan said, "Although this matter is confidential, someone has already told me."
Lu Yanhe was extremely embarrassed.
He originally thought that Chen Ziyan didn't know about this, and thought that if Chen Ziyan really wanted to take him with him, he would take this termination agreement to tell her how to deal with the follow-up.
I didn't expect that people already knew about it.
"Oh, sorry, I thought you didn't know, because when I communicated with Brother Ping'an before, he said to keep it a secret from everyone."
"It makes me curious why he pushed you away."
"I don't know either," Lu Yanhe answered sincerely. "I asked him, and he said that someone didn't want me to stay in the entertainment industry, so they put pressure on the company's top management. But I actually come from a very ordinary place and have a very ordinary family background. I don't understand why anyone wants me to leave the entertainment industry, and it has always troubled me."
Chen Ziyan: "It's not as simple as just wanting you to leave the entertainment industry. I heard that in September of this year, you were pushed into the river? You almost died?"
Lu Yanhe looked at Chen Ziyan in shock.
Why does Chen Ziyan even know about this?
Lu Yanhe couldn't believe it.
Chen Ziyan waved her hand.
At this time, the waiter brought up sandwiches, salads and coffee.
The conversation between the two paused for a moment.
After the waiter left, Chen Ziyan continued, "Obviously, there's something else about you that you don't know."
Lu Yanhe frowned.
"Let's ignore that for now. The person who attacked you is hiding in the dark and doesn't dare to show up. You should be more careful and at least don't go to places like this that will put you in danger." Chen Ziyan said, "I asked you out today. I think you know what I mean. I'm quite interested in you and I want to take you with me. If you were just an ordinary artist, even if you had a disagreement with Zhou Ping'an, it wouldn't matter. But now there is obviously a big hand behind you, whose identity we don't know, preventing you from staying in the entertainment industry. This means that even if you stay in the entertainment industry in the future, you will have a lot of trouble. I'm thinking, if I take you with me, will there be more rewards or more trouble."
Chen Ziyan's frank words left Lu Yanhe speechless.
"I...I don't even know what kind of troubles I'll face in the future, and I can't tell you that these troubles won't arise." Lu Yanhe smiled. "I'm sure many people want to win your favor and become your artist, and I'm no exception."
Chen Ziyan looked at him with interest and asked, "Have you ever thought about the fact that if you still want to stay in the entertainment industry, you will still face such life-threatening situations?"
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "When I was pushed into the river, I had already debuted for two years and was already a nobody in the entertainment industry. Rather than saying that my presence in the entertainment industry put my life in danger, I prefer to believe that it was because I was so out of fashion that no one cared about me, so that person dared to do it. After that, he never appeared again, and the police have no clues about him. If one day I became famous and received a lot of media and fan attention, would he still dare to do it?"
Chen Ziyan smiled slightly and asked, "If one day you discovered that there was a force beyond your imagination trying to stop you, suppress you, or even threaten your life and force you to quit the entertainment industry, would you give up?"
"I can't predict what will happen in the future, but I won't do that now. If I were just an ordinary person, facing that black hand that's hiding somewhere, I would be truly powerless to protect myself," said Lu Yanhe.
The young man in front of me still looks young and immature. He has a kind of calmness that is rare among young people, but because of his youth he does not seem to be cunning. Of course, he really looks simple.
What surprised Chen Ziyan the most were the words he said. He clearly showed that he was a person who was good at thinking and thought a lot.
Chen Ziyan has been observing Lu Yanhe for almost a month.
Ever since she noticed this person at the audition for "The Golden Age" and subsequently read a lot of his information and data, Chen Ziyan discovered that the changes in Lu Yanhe in recent months were somewhat unbelievable compared to the previous two years.
However, it was precisely the changes in recent months that gave rise to a quality in him that attracted Chen Ziyan.
Chen Ziyan is an old-school agent. Perhaps younger agents have become accustomed to the current star brokerage model and believe more in the company's packaging, personality creation, and label marketing, but Chen Ziyan came from the past era of star brokerage. She still retains some habits of the past era, such as choosing an artist based on whether the person has attractive qualities.
Traits are very mysterious things. They are not personal talents or abilities. Some people are proficient in all kinds of skills, but they are not liked and have few fans. Some people can't do anything, but the charm they exude in their every move is attractive. It's completely metaphysics.
First of all, Lu Yanhe has a good-looking face.
A young man's face.
His facial features are regular, without thick eyebrows or big eyes, nor too delicate, which makes him suitable for various roles.
Secondly, he has a good voice and his singing has a youthful quality.
Although the music market is not doing well now, if an actor can sing, whether it is the OST of a film or TV series or various large-scale events or parties, it can help him gain greater exposure.
The most important thing is that his hard work and diligence do not give people a sense of pressure.
It's a talent.
If a person is better, works harder, and is more diligent than those around him, it will cause pressure on others.
Lu Yanhe is able to study live in the live broadcast room every day, and many people follow him to study. This is a kind of charm.
At the same time, the fact that he was able to make such great progress in a short period of time without being hostile to his classmates is another kind of charm.
For Chen Ziyan personally, Lu Yanhe gave her the interest and motivation to cultivate.
If an agent has no interest in an artist himself, how can he recommend him to his partners?
At this moment, the door of the cafe was pushed open from the outside again.
Lu Yanhe was sitting with his back to the door. Feeling a gust of cold wind, he subconsciously looked back and saw Yuan Yi, whom he hadn't seen for dozens of days. Behind her was Su Su.
Lu Yanhe looked at them in surprise.
He had long thought that the matter between the two had been resolved and ended, but he didn't expect that it hadn't been.
Chen Ziyan asked: "Do you know them?"
"Well, that man is my history teacher." Lu Yanhe explained.
Chen Ziyan said, "I do have hesitations about you and haven't thought it through yet, so I want to meet you today and talk to you. To be honest, I still don't have a definite idea. Of all the people I'm interested in, your situation is the most complicated."
Lu Yanhe laughed, shook his head, and said, "It's okay. I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't choose me in the end."
"Then you might never be able to be an artist again," Chen Ziyan said. "I'm the only person in Star Entertainment who can invalidate that contract termination agreement."
"It doesn't matter if the contract is terminated," Lu Yanhe said. "By then, I'll definitely have been admitted to Zhenhua or Yuming. I can write my own songs, I have my own livestreaming room, and I have a good social image. I have two police-awarded banners for bravery. I may not be someone other agencies are eager to sign, but I don't think anyone will be able to completely pull me out of this industry anytime soon."
Chen Ziyan laughed.
"You say you won't be surprised if I don't choose you, but in reality, you're still trying to sell yourself to me."
"Why not?" Lu Yanhe admitted frankly, "I hope you can be my agent. Today is the first time I've discussed this with you face to face. Although I'm pretending to be calm and composed, I'm actually very sincere and hope to gain your favor. I know that if you are willing to be my agent, I can focus on this path from now on."
Chen Ziyan burst out laughing.
- If a person tells you so seriously that he is nervous and hopes to win your favor, the image of this person that appears in your mind must be that he must be a little timid and nervous, but he doesn't even breathe quickly, and every word he says is smooth and powerful. For a moment, you don't even know whether what he said is true or false, but you don't mind. Then you must admit that you have made a choice in your heart.
Chen Ziyan was about to speak.
Suddenly, a terrified scream pierced the entire cafe.
Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan turned their heads in shock. The scene before them made them dazed.
Especially Lu Yanhe, the moment he saw this scene, his hands and feet became cold and numb. He couldn't believe it and found it difficult to react.
Yuan Yi held a small silver knife in his hand and stabbed it into the chest of Su Su, who was sitting opposite him.
Red blood gushed out, quickly staining a large area of his white shirt red.
Su Su's face was full of shock, astonishment and pain.
"Teacher Su!" Lu Yanhe finally reacted, shouted, jumped up at the same time, and ran towards Su Su.
There stood a panicked crowd around, not daring to approach, their eyes filled with fear and uneasiness as they looked over here.
Amidst the commotion, Yuan Yi looked at Su Su calmly.
"Since you say I'm mentally ill, then it shouldn't be a problem if I stab you, right?"
Lu Yanhe has rushed over.
He looked at Su Su with a pale face, wanting to reach out and hold his shoulders, but he didn't dare to.
Because Yuan Yi's hand was still on the hilt of the knife.
She half stood opposite Su Su, smiling at him condescendingly.
"You were the one who said you would love me forever. You broke your promise. You owe me this."
Yuan Yi let go of his hand and sat back in his chair.
Lu Yanhe felt his hands, feet, lips and cheeks trembling.
He looked at Su Su, and saw that this young, handsome, gentle and elegant teacher's face almost turned pale in an instant, and he could not hide his pain.
Suddenly, he remembered something and shouted to the bar: "Call an ambulance!"
Yuan Yi said lightly: "Stop shouting, he won't die."
There was a coldness in her eyes as she looked at Su Su, a sorrow that was greater than a dead heart.
Su Su finally spoke.
He stared at Yuan Yi, his strength barely taciturn as he spoke, but with hatred in his eyes, he said, "You are... a fucking lunatic!"
