The dinner venue was decided.
Linyu is the class monitor and she has always been very popular in the class.
In the end, there were more than 40 students who confirmed that they would come to eat, and three tables could not accommodate them all. There was no choice but to squeeze in a little.
Fortunately, they are all young boys and girls, so it doesn’t matter if they squeeze together, it makes it more lively.
After the exam, everyone was in a state of freedom, like a wild horse finally breaking free from its reins, and they looked much more excited than usual.
Chu Saiying and Luo Zicheng did not come to the dinner, but the atmosphere was particularly good.
After living in the same classroom for two years, it is impossible to say that there is no affection.
Everyone drank juice instead of alcohol, and talked about embarrassing things in the past, various memories and jokes. They were all trivial matters, but because of the emphasis on graduation, every one of them became as precious as the past that could not be retrieved.
After dinner, many people go home.
Although he has finished the college entrance examination, in the eyes of his parents, he is still a child and cannot stay outside too late.
Linyu asked the remaining people if they wanted to go to KTV to sing, and received support from many people. Those who didn't want to go naturally used the excuse of going home and went back.
In the end, there were only a dozen or so people going to the KTV.
Lu Yanhe had no objection, especially since Li Pengfei asked him to go along, so of course he didn't refuse.
Even at this time, Li Pengfei still did not tell Xu Zijun the truth.
Xu Zijun and Li Xiang walked together.
When they arrived at the KTV, no one was embarrassed to sing the first song, so they all looked at Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe: “???”
To be honest, he didn't really like singing.
However, everyone asked him to sing a song first, and he was pushed forward, so he asked everyone what they wanted to hear.
Lin Yu said, "I don't know if there's a song called 'Memorial'. How about singing 'Memorial'? Everyone loves this song."
Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "Okay."
Linyu went to request a song, and sure enough, there was one available. After all, it was made popular by Song Linxin.
Of course, she ordered the version of "Xiao Ge Ju Zhong Hui".
Lu Yanhe picked up the microphone.
In the eyes of the students in Class 3, this song was written by Lu Yanhe for their class.
When the song was over, everyone applauded.
"It sounds so good!" Mei Ping raised her hands and waved them. "God of Songs, you must become a superstar, hold a concert, and invite us to your concert!"
Others followed suit and shouted.
"Please invite us to your concert!"
"We'll buy our own tickets!" someone said immediately.
Lu Yanhe laughed.
He said, “If I have a concert in the future, I will invite everyone to come.”
Mei Ping led the cheers.
After Lu Yanhe opened the show, everyone stopped being reserved and started ordering songs.
Lu Yanhe sang many songs with everyone, but they all felt a little tired and went to the bathroom.
Li Pengfei came out with him.
"Li Cui's singing is so magical that it is catchy to the ears." Li Pengfei complained.
Lu Yanhe smiled.
"Lao Lu, when are you going to film?" he asked.
Lu Yanhe said: "Next month."
"Are we filming in Yuming?"
"I don't know yet. It probably won't be filmed in Yuming." Lu Yanhe said, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just curious." Li Pengfei said, "My dad asked me to ask when you are free. I want to invite you to have dinner together."
"I, I'm free these two days."
Li Pengfei's father had previously said that he wanted to cooperate with his live broadcast room on a product, but there was no follow-up. It was not known whether there was a problem with the product development or whether they had given up on the idea of cooperation. Lu Yanhe did not ask because his attention was on preparing for the exam. Now that Li Pengfei's father asked him to dinner again, he remembered this matter again.
"Okay, I'll talk to him later and see when he can schedule an appointment with you," Li Pengfei said. "I don't know what my final score will be. Do you have an estimate?"
"without."
"Me neither," Li Pengfei said. "My dad insisted I estimate my score, but I was too lazy to do it."
"Are you planning to go out and play this summer?"
"Of course. My dad said that when my brother has summer vacation, he will take me to travel around Europe."
"Wealthy families go out to play and play in circles." Lu Yanhe asked, "Will he be back in half a month?"
"Half a month? We have initially planned a trip of more than 20 days." Li Pengfei said proudly.
Lu Yanhe gave him a thumbs up.
"You are awesome. A wealthy family is a wealthy family."
Li Pengfei said, "Don't complain. I'll bring you a gift later."
"Okay, wait for the reward from the young master." Lu Yanhe teased.
Speaking of his senior year in high school, the most important person Lu Yanhe met was Li Pengfei. It could be said that they became acquainted with each other through fighting. At first, they disliked each other a little, but after being attracted by their common enemy Luo Zicheng, they became friends.
It is luck to have a friend like Li Pengfei.
Of course, a person can be without friends, but if a person really has no friends, he will always feel a little lonely.
-
After singing, it was already 11:30 in the evening.
Everyone dispersed at the entrance of the KTV.
Xu Zijun and Li Xiang both went to sleep at Linyu's house. Their homes were too far away and it would take more than two hours to get back. It was so late, and Linyu had already invited them both in advance.
Chen Qin sent the three girls back.
Li Pengfei's family had a car coming to pick him up, so he asked Lu Yanhe to get in his car, saying that he would take him back.
Lu Yanhe didn't bother to be polite with Li Pengfei and got into the car directly.
Seeing that Li Pengfei and Xu Zijun still kept their distance in front of others, Lu Yanhe actually wanted to ask Li Pengfei a question, but because his driver was there, he didn't dare to open his mouth.
It was Li Pengfei who said, "If you have nothing to do tomorrow, would you like to go shopping with me? I want to buy two laptops. Would you like to accompany me to pick some out?"
"Okay." Lu Yanhe nodded. "I should have gone with you earlier. I just bought a laptop this morning."
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Li Pengfei said, then realized what was happening and asked, "You got up this morning? Damn, you animal! I slept until eleven o'clock."
"Why are you up so late?"
"Of course it's because I partied all night last night!" Li Pengfei said immediately, "I finally finished the exam!"
"There's no need to party all night. What did you do?"
"Playing games." Li Pengfei smiled. "I haven't played games for half a year. I played to my heart's content. Even my dad didn't say anything."
"After all, I just finished the exam." Lu Yanhe smiled.
After being dropped off at the gate of the community, Lu Yanhe got out of the car.
"See you tomorrow."
"Okay," Li Pengfei said, "I'll contact you when I wake up tomorrow."
"Um."
Lu Yanhe walked into the community in the warm evening breeze.
-
It was already early morning when he got home, but maybe because he had just finished singing with everyone, Lu Yanhe didn't feel sleepy. After thinking about it, he decided to start a live broadcast.
He stopped chatting with everyone. He couldn't digest all the negative words right now, so he just read quietly.
So, the live broadcast started. Lu Yanhe didn't have any opening remarks. He just muted the audio and started reading the novel he bought today.
Lu Yanhe usually likes to read novels, but because of preparing for the high school entrance examination, this hobby was abandoned.
The first novel he bought was a mystery novel.
"Nineteen Years of Crime Records" was written by an author named Liu Jiazhen.
Lu Yanhe was quite shocked when he saw the title of this book. He thought the content of this book must be quite explicit. The key point is, how could this title pass the review?!
It was late at night and Helan was getting ready to go to bed.
She was listening to an English radio drama with headphones on. She yawned and was about to go to sleep after listening to this episode when her phone suddenly vibrated with a background notification.
When Helan looked, it turned out that it was Lu Yanhe who had started broadcasting.
This broadcast time... is too weird!
Helan clicked on it in confusion and saw Lu Yanhe adjusting the camera as usual, then lowering his head to read.
There was no intention of communicating with them at all.
Return to the previous live broadcast room appearance.
Helan took a curious look at the book and was surprised to see the title "Nineteen Years of Crime Records".
Could Lu Yanhe actually read this kind of book?
Is it nonfiction or fiction?
Helan immediately searched for the book out of curiosity and found that it was a crime novel.
Helan couldn't help but speak in the barrage and asked: Xiao Lu actually likes to read crime novels?
Maybe it was because the broadcast started at too late a time and many people had already gone to sleep, so the barrage room was not as lively as usual today.
Some people say: This novel is quite good.
Someone immediately followed up and said: What a coincidence, I am also reading this novel. It is so scary that I even hid under the quilt while reading it.
…
Helan saw the discussion about this book in the barrage room, hesitated for a moment, and decided to buy a copy to see what it was like.
She logged into the shopping app, searched for the name of the book, and quickly placed an order.

Li Chang is a young man who works as a stock picker in a warehouse.
Simply put, his job is to distribute goods according to orders in the warehouse.
Tonight, he is on night shift.
The number of orders in the evening is generally smaller, so it is not very busy.
Moreover, the warehouse he was in was full of books, and there were even fewer people placing orders at night.
He had been thinking of taking a nap, but just as he sat down, the order was sent to him in real time.
A book, "Nineteen Years of Crime Records".
Li Chang muttered that buying this book so late at night must be a bit abnormal.
Even though he was muttering this in his heart, he was still very diligent. He quickly adjusted the goods, packed them, put the invoice on them, and put them aside, ready for shipment.
Before anyone sat down, the phone beeped twice, indicating a new order had arrived.
Li Chang was stunned for a moment, and when he looked again, he was even more stunned.
This is another "Nineteen Years of Crime Records".
What's going on?
Did any celebrity recommend this book?
Li Chang didn't expect that this was just the beginning.
In the next thirty minutes, more than a dozen people placed orders for the book. His warehouse was sold out, so he had to quickly mark it as "out of stock" and apply for emergency replenishment.
This situation is happening in book warehouses across the country.
Lu Yanhe also didn't know that when he was reading the novel live, nearly a thousand people placed orders for the book after seeing his live broadcast.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Xu Mingyue heard the alarm on her cell phone ringing, and she immediately turned off the alarm and climbed out of bed.
She found an internship at a publishing house this summer.
Her internship started in June, and because of her major, she did proofreading work.
This job was not very challenging for her, and she hoped to be able to challenge herself with other editorial duties. However, this publishing house was not a makeshift one. As a large publishing house that had been operating for decades, they would not hand over the core work to interns.
Xu Mingyue could only do the work assigned to her first.
"Well, you're up so early?" Helan opened the bed curtains and was surprised to see Xu Mingyue already dressed. He asked quietly, "Do you have classes today?"
Xu Mingyue shook her head and said, "I have to go to internship today."
Helan suddenly realized and nodded.
Xu Mingyue found an internship for herself, and everyone in the dormitory knew about it.
Not many students start internships at the end of their sophomore year, as most students still want to pursue graduate studies.
Helan admired Xu Mingyue very much. For the sake of internship, she was willing not to go home or go out for fun during the entire summer vacation, and was willing to spend the entire summer vacation on internship.
Xu Mingyue went out and took the subway. It took about fifty minutes to reach her internship location, Jiangyin Publishing House.
Xu Mingyue's internship is in the novel editing department.
After she went in, she greeted everyone with a smile, just like she had in the past few days.
"The bright moon is here."
"Oh, your school is far from here. It's okay to arrive a little late. You don't have to always arrive before work hours."
Xu Mingyue smiled and said, "It's okay. I get up early every day, so it's not a problem."
"Wow, have you heard? One thousand copies of "Nineteen Years of Crime Records" were sold last night!" Suddenly, a female editor ran in and said in an exaggerated tone.
"ah?"
"What's going on?"
This news made the editors in the editorial department look surprised.
Xu Mingyue didn't understand why this news surprised everyone so much.
Although physical publishing is not as popular as it was twenty years ago, with sales often reaching hundreds of thousands or even millions, it shouldn't be so shocking just for a thousand copies, right?
"Xiaoyin, did you find a celebrity to promote this product?" asked a senior.
Xu Xiaoyin is the editor-in-chief of "Nineteen Years of Crime Records". The author of this book, Liu Jiazhen, was discovered by her. He is a newcomer. If Xu Xiaoyin had not tried her best, it would be difficult for a work by a newcomer to get a chance to be published.
Xu Xiaoyin also looked confused and had no idea why this happened.
"No, although 'Nineteen Years' sold well and was reprinted once after it was released, only 8,000 copies were printed in total. How could we have the budget to find celebrities to promote it?" said Xu Xiaoyin.
Seeing that everyone was suspicious, Xu Mingyue took out her mobile phone and searched the book "Nineteen Years of Crime Records" on the Internet.
Sure enough, nowadays you can find clues about anything on the Internet.
If you sell a thousand books in one night, someone will definitely share it on their social media.
Xu Mingyue saw a familiar name.
"It's actually him?" Xu Mingyue was very surprised.
"What is he?" Xu Xiaoyin asked.
Xu Mingyue said: "Last night, an artist read the book during his live broadcast. Many of his fans mentioned it on social media and said they had also ordered a copy."
"Who?" When the other editors heard that an artist was involved in this matter, they were instantly enlightened. Now if an artist can recommend a book, then the book can sell thousands more copies. This is a very common phenomenon.
"Lu Yanhe." Xu Mingyue said.
When this name was mentioned, many people looked puzzled.
"Lu Yanhe?"
"who is he?"
"It sounds familiar, but I don't know who it is."
"A new celebrity?"
Xu Mingyue had no choice but to explain his background to everyone.
"So it's him." Someone immediately realized, "That's the high school student who bravely stood up for justice."
After this was mentioned, the others also remembered it.
This incident happened in Yuming. Even if the local people in Yuming have not seen the news, they must have heard about it from people around them.
"Did he just start a live broadcast to read this novel?" Xu Xiaoyin suddenly turned around and asked Xu Mingyue.
Xu Mingyue also saw it online, but was not sure. She did not watch Lu Yanhe's live broadcast.
But someone must have seen it!
Xu Mingyue thought of her roommate Helan.
"Sister Xiaoyin, wait a moment. I need to call my roommate. She watched Lu Yanhe's live broadcast yesterday. I want to ask her what happened."
Xu Xiaoyin nodded.
Xu Mingyue called Helan.
"Lanlan, I'm sorry to disturb your sleep."
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm awake." Helan yawned. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"I want to ask you, did you watch Lu Yanhe's live broadcast yesterday?"
"I saw it. Did I...did I disturb your sleep?" Helan's voice suddenly revealed a hint of apology.
"No, it doesn't matter. I just want to ask you something. Did Lu Yanhe read the book 'Nineteen Years of Crime Records' during the live broadcast last night?" Xu Mingyue asked, "Did he recommend it?"
"No, he only read for about half an hour and then went offline without saying anything." Helan was a little confused. "What's wrong, Mingyue?"
Xu Mingyue said, "Because of his live broadcast yesterday, 'Nineteen Years of Crime Records' sold very well, and we want to know why."
"Oh, I see. Because he was reading this book, we were discussing it in the barrage. Many people were curious about the book, so they bought it. I bought one too," said Helan.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Mingyue went to talk to Xu Xiaoyin.
The others also listened, tutted their tongues, and sighed, "Liu Jiazhen is really lucky. Just because a star like Lu Yanhe read his book, a bunch of fans immediately bought it."
Xu Xiaoyin fell into deep thought.
"Xiaoyin, what's wrong? You have a frown on your face and are thinking so seriously."
Xu Xiaoyin said to Editor-in-Chief Liu Cheng, "Editor-in-Chief, I'd like to meet Lu Yanhe. There have been many cases where celebrities have read books and posted them on social media, or even recommended a book directly, but it's rare to see over a thousand copies sold in a single night. As far as I know, Lu Yanhe isn't a very famous star, so his appeal is rare."
Upon hearing this, Liucheng frowned slightly.
"What do you want to talk about when you meet him?" Liu Cheng said.
If you want to establish a long-term cooperative promotion relationship with Lu Yanhe, you must first obtain the consent of the society.
Xu Xiaoyin: "I want to express my gratitude. As the editor-in-charge of 'Nineteen Years of Crime Records,' I want to thank him for reading the book during the live broadcast. This helped us sell over a thousand copies of the book in one night."
After hearing this, Liu Cheng thought for a moment and asked, "Can't I find a way to contact him? Add him as a friend or give him a phone call to express my gratitude?"
Xu Xiaoyin hesitated for a moment, but finally confessed, "It's mainly because the book I'm responsible for, 'Star Orbit,' is going to be released this Thursday, and I'd like to ask him for help promoting it. It's better to tell him about this in person, and I also need to give him the book in person."
"Star Orbit" is another book written by Xu Xiaoyin, a work of youth literature.
Similarly, it was written by a less famous author, but Xu Xiaoyin conducted various data surveys and statistics to convince the publishing house to publish the book.
Because physical books can’t be sold now, publishing a book is much more difficult than before.
When a publishing house decides to publish a book, it has to go through many processes.
Xu Xiaoyin started working on a book called "Nineteen Years of Crime Records" and a book called "Star Orbit" two years ago, but they were not launched on the market until this year.
Liu Cheng thought that if "Star Orbit" could sell thousands more copies, the first month's sales would be much better.
After all, for a new book like this, the publishing house only set the first print run at 8,000 copies.
"Okay, let's go then." Liu Cheng glanced at Xu Mingyue and suddenly thought of something. He said, "Take Xu Mingyue with you. She's been doing her internship for a while now. You can help with the marketing of the book 'Star Orbit'."
Xu Xiaoyin glanced at Xu Mingyue and nodded.
Xu Mingyue's face showed surprise.
Two people have a small meeting.
"Do you have a way to contact Lu Yanhe?" Xu Xiaoyin asked Xu Mingyue.
Xu Mingyue shook her head and said, "You can try sending him a private message through his live broadcast account and social media account."
Xu Xiaoyin pondered for a moment and said, "He's an artist, he should have an agency. Can you try to contact his agency?"
Xu Mingyue nodded, searched for the contact information of Star Entertainment Agency on the Internet, called them, and was transferred through several phone calls.
"Ah?" Xu Mingyue was stunned.
When Xu Xiaoyin heard Xu Mingyue's surprised "Ah?", she looked at her in confusion.
After Xu Mingyue hung up the phone, Xu Xiaoyin immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Mingyue was stunned and said, "Star Entertainment said he has terminated his contract with them."
Xu Xiaoyin also looked surprised.
-
The weather in June is mostly sunny.
Lu Yanhe and Li Pengfei were shopping in a mall. They were originally planning to buy a laptop first, but Li Pengfei said that it would be a bit heavy to carry in his hands after buying it, so he wanted to buy other things first and then buy the laptop.
"What else do you want to buy?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Li Pengfei said, "Buy Xu Zijun a suitcase. After the last college entrance examination, she packed her things in bags and brought them back home, which was difficult to carry."
"Then you bought it and sent it to her?" Lu Yanhe asked curiously.
"Well, I'm going to learn how to drive. My dad said he'd give me a car, so I can drive her there when the time comes," Li Pengfei said. "If she goes to college in Yuming, I can also take her there."
Seeing Li Pengfei talking so excitedly, Lu Yanhe was stunned and a little surprised.
Seeing that you have thick eyebrows and big eyes, I didn’t expect that you are such a filial boyfriend!
