From Lu Yanhe's original memory, there was absolutely no content that offended Zhou Ping'an.
Zhou Ping'an wanted to drive him away, so there must be a reason that Lu Yanhe didn't know.
Coupled with the incident of being pushed into the river, which Lu Yanhe always remembered, Lu Yanhe knew that his situation after traveling through time was not so safe.
The people who secretly pushed him into the river and the people who openly wanted to drive him out of the entertainment industry.
How did Lu Yanhe, an unknown artist whose parents had both passed away, was frustrated in the entertainment industry, and had never offended anyone, end up in such a seemingly crisis-ridden situation?
Lu Yanhe tried to get some clues from Zhou Ping'an.
However, Zhou Pingan took a deep breath and said, "How can this short-lived performance offset your abysmal performance over the past two or three years? Don't think that just because you sang this one song, you'll be able to get the company to keep you. There's no room for negotiation on this contract termination!"
Lu Yanhe was silent for two seconds.
Just when Zhou Ping'an thought Lu Yanhe was intimidated by his aura, he heard Lu Yanhe chuckle softly on the other end of the phone and say, "Is that so? Fine then. It just so happens that the TV station people will accompany the police tomorrow to present me with a banner for bravery. Brother Ping'an, why don't we announce this tomorrow?"
Zhou Ping'an almost couldn't breathe, his eyes almost popped out and he started cursing.
Fortunately, he still had some rationality left and he held back.
"Lu Yanhe, put aside everything else. After all, the company has supported you for three years, allowing you to go to high school and have enough food and clothing." Zhou Ping'an said coldly, "If the company hadn't signed you, given your uncle's attitude towards you, do you think you can talk to me like this now? You'd either be a waiter wiping dishes, or your uncle would have sent you to work in a factory! Don't be ungrateful and bite back!"
Lu Yanhe took a deep breath.
"Brother Ping'an, I don't want to bite back, but this is what you said. If the company terminates my contract at this time, can I still finish high school? You want to cut off my retreat, so I can only fight to the death." He said calmly in an angry voice.
This is a negotiation.
Lu Yanhe didn't know how Zhou Ping'an would respond.
But this is the best opportunity.
Having said that, if Zhou Ping'an doesn't give in, Lu Yanhe can only think of other tricks.
Zhou Ping'an was silent for a long time, and his tone returned to calm.
There was also a more indifferent emotion mixed in with the calmness.
"What do you want?"
"I know that if I don't want to terminate the contract and stubbornly stay in the company, you have many ways to disgust me and force me to terminate the contract. Although I don't know why you want to force me to leave, I hope that this will at least happen after I take the college entrance examination." Lu Yanhe said, "Brother Ping'an, I don't want to be a waiter washing dishes, nor do I want to be sent to work in a factory. Let me take the college entrance examination normally. At that time, as long as the company doesn't want to keep me, I am willing to take the initiative to terminate the contract with the company."
Lu Yanhe adopted a compromising tone.
"Whether the company wants to keep you or not, you must terminate the contract with the company." Zhou Pingan said without hesitation.
"If the company doesn't want to terminate my contract, I will take the initiative to terminate the contract. I want to pay the termination fee. You know my situation. I can't afford it."
Zhou Pingan said: "This will not happen."
"When you asked me to sign the contract, you also told me that there would be no mid-term termination." Lu Yanhe said, "When you came to me, you told me to trust you."
Zhou Ping'an was silent.
"Okay, then I'll draft a termination agreement for you to sign. It will take effect after the college entrance examination next year," Zhou Ping'an said. "It should state that the termination was a friendly negotiation between the two parties and that neither party has breached the contract. However, you must keep this confidential. Before officially terminating the contract with the company, you must not tell anyone, including anyone within the company, or you will be required to pay liquidated damages."
Lu Yanhe: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yanhe picked up a pen and began to write on the paper:
1. Zhou Pingan must terminate the contract with him. This is not the company's will. It can be basically confirmed that it is based on Zhou Pingan's personal wishes. Otherwise, Zhou Pingan would not have to emphasize "you can't tell anyone, including anyone in the company."
2. Zhou Pingan may not be the one who must terminate the contract with him. After talking for so long, including using angry questioning to provoke Zhou Pingan, Zhou Pingan did not answer any of the questions about why he was targeting him. Although Lu Yanhe had no evidence, he had a strong feeling that Zhou Pingan himself might not know why he had to terminate the contract with him.
…
After sorting out his thoughts, Lu Yanhe suddenly felt fortunate that he had been on the social news and was commended by the police for his "heroic act".
Otherwise, with his previous mentality of taking chances, he might not be able to hold on until the end of the college entrance examination and would be forced away by Zhou Ping'an.
A small artist like him who has no background or power has almost no power to fight back against an agent like Zhou Pingan who holds power and influence.
After reviewing the conversation with Zhou Ping'an and confirming that he had said nothing wrong, Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Ping'an looked at the phone that had ended the call, sat on the sofa, frowned, and fell into deep thought.
This evening's phone call with Lu Yanhe had made him feel out of control for the first time. Previously, Zhou Ping'an had always believed he had complete control over Lu Yanhe. In his mind, Lu Yanhe was just a clueless kid, clueless and submissive. If it weren't for the fact that terminating the contract after the group disbanded seemed more reasonable and would avoid attracting attention, he would have kicked Lu Yanhe out long ago.
Unexpectedly, by now, Lu Yanhe had lost control.
How dare he talk to him in that manner?
Just because you've been in the news recently, gained some fame, and become a bit popular, do you have the confidence to resist him?
Fortunately, he finally agreed.
This agreement must be signed immediately, otherwise there will be more trouble.
Just at this moment, his cell phone rang.
At first glance, the caller ID showed Vice President Ma.
Zhou Ping'an immediately frowned again, having just relaxed his brows.
"Hello, Mr. Ma!" Zhou Ping'an shouted enthusiastically.
"Yes, yes, he did appear on a variety show today. However, there's nothing I can do about it. President Hong has personally inquired about his affairs. In order to prevent President Hong from getting suspicious, I can only accept two shows for Lu Yanhe first."
"Don't worry, I've already made an agreement with Lu Yanhe. We'll sign the termination agreement tomorrow. It will take effect as soon as he finishes the college entrance exam. There won't be any problems with this matter."
"Boss Ma, we can't help it. He just made the news and will be commended by the police tomorrow. If we terminate his contract now, it will be too embarrassing. Everyone will pay attention to this matter. If Boss Hong asks about it, it will be difficult to explain."
"Don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem with this. I'll send a copy to your office as soon as the termination agreement is signed tomorrow."
