Chapter 192 I am the Lu Yanhe you want to see
After Li Zhibai woke up, he looked surprised and asked, "Eat? What to eat?"
When he heard that it was Xin Zixing who invited them to dinner, Li Zhibai immediately agreed happily.
"Of course it's nice to have dinner together." Li Zhibai immediately jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom to wash his face and comb his hair.
Li Zhibai, this fellow, couldn't move his body when he saw a beautiful woman, his eyes widening. Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang had guessed his reaction and didn't find it strange at all.
After a while, Lu Yanhe received some photos and information sent by Xin Zixing, which were introductions to some places in the city of Langhua.
Xin Zixing said: You can take a look first to see if there are any places that you are interested in and willing to go.
-
"Zixing, were you really not injured last night?"
The person who asked this question was Xin Zixing's colleague Liu Yaliang at Yemai.com.
Xin Zixing shook her head, "No."
Liu Yaliang clasped her hands together and looked at Xin Zixing with admiration. "You're amazing! You can handle three men at once and beat them into submission. I feel so safe working with you."
Xin Zixing smiled slightly.
After the Langhua work plan was approved, Xin Zixing asked the company to find someone to help.
Chen Liang.
Liu Yaliang came along to help at her own expense.
Xin Zixing roughly understood what Liu Yaliang was thinking - Chen Liang was the man she liked, and she didn't want to see Chen Liang traveling alone with her on a business trip, so she followed him.
Anyway, Liu Yaliang came from a wealthy family and got her job at Yemai.com through her family connections. No one would say anything if she skipped work, let alone volunteering to go on a business trip at her own expense to help.
Chen Liang is tall and thin. He wears a black T-shirt and looks a bit serious, making him seem quite unapproachable.
Xin Zixing admired his professionalism and said, "After Lu Yanhe decides on the places he wants to go, we'll plan the route."
Chen Liang nodded without saying a word.
But Liu Yaliang interrupted, looking a bit puzzled, and asked, "Why don't we just determine the route ourselves and have Lu Yanhe come directly?"
"This is Lu Yanhe's geographical diary about corridor development, not from our Yemai.com staff," said Xin Zixing.
Liu Yaliang: "Then will you appear on camera?"
“I’m not on camera.”
"That's such a shame! If you were on camera, with the popularity you displayed last night, standing alone against three people, this plan would definitely be a huge success and attract a lot of attention." Liu Yaliang said, "Right, Chen Liang?"
Chen Liang looked at Liu Yaliang in confusion.
Xin Zixing said: "We at Yemai.com have never relied on hot topics or hype to attract users."
"That's what I mean," Liu Yaliang said. "You invited celebrities to plan this, aren't you also trying to capitalize on their popularity?"
Xin Zixiong glanced at her and found that this person was not being sarcastic, but was genuinely confused and really didn't understand the difference.
Xin Zixing shook her head and didn't bother with the question anymore. Instead, she said, "Lu Yanhe's image is suitable for the City Geography Diary project. We've mentioned it long ago, and we wanted to invite well-known celebrities to do it. But at the time, we couldn't afford suitable celebrities. The ones we could afford were mostly minor celebrities and artists whose image wasn't suitable for this kind of artistic endeavor, so it fell through. Now, we've finally found an artist like Lu Yanhe who loves reading and has a strong student vibe. Let's invite him to do one episode. If the results are good, we'll do it again later."
"I've always felt that most of our website users are quite pretentious," Liu Yaliang suddenly said, "Do they only like artists like Lu Yanhe?"
"Lu Yanhe's image and reputation on our website are indeed quite good."
Liu Yaliang immediately curled her lips and said, "I just don't like it very much."
"Why?" Xin Zixiong asked.
"Too great and glorious! I don't like people who have a perfect image. Everyone has flaws. An overly perfect image only means one thing," Liu Yaliang said. "This person is insincere."
What Liu Yaliang said is certainly not wrong, but it also depends on who she is talking about.
Xin Zixing: "Of course, that makes sense, but everyone is different. If you get to know someone based on preconceived notions, you'll easily overlook their strengths."
Liu Yaliang: "Oh my god, Zixing, you talk like my mom."
“…” Xin Zixing was speechless.
"I'll treat them to lunch at noon, and we'll meet up after that," she said.
Liu Yaliang readily agreed to have dinner with Chen Liang alone.
Chen Liang didn't care.
-
The real world is in stark contrast to the noisy Internet.
In the real world, whether it is Xin Zixing or Lu Yanhe and the others, even after what happened last night, they still have their own things to do today.
However, in the online world, discussions about this incident continue without any signs of cooling down, giving people the wrong impression that everyone involved in this incident is still in the same state: some are perpetrators, some are victims, and some are heroes.
Huang Kairen, who was originally the most popular, was suddenly surpassed by Li Zhibai and Yan Liang near noon, and the latter two ranked fourth and fifth on the hot searches.
If you click on it, you will find that most of the content about the two of them is about their justice, bravery, and ability to protect girls.
Li Zhibai was quite happy when he saw it at first, but then he realized it belatedly.
"What's going on? Could this be a trending search bought by Zhou Pingan?"
"Or maybe Zhou Ping'an asked a company to do it." Yan Liang said.
The smile on Li Zhibai's face collapsed in an instant.
"Why is this happening?" he said angrily. "He's making a good thing out of it, like we're just trying to get on the trending search."
He immediately took out his cell phone and called Zhou Ping'an.
When Zhou Ping'an saw that the call was from Li Zhibai, he refused directly.
It goes without saying why Li Zhibai called at this time.
These kids were all clamoring to stand firm on their own feet with their own real abilities.
This is a joke in the entertainment industry.
Anyone who has established a firm foothold in the entertainment industry has countless hands supporting and holding him up. Expecting fair competition without any oppression is just dreaming!
Zhou Ping'an put down his phone and looked at Li Zhenzhen who was sitting in front of him.
The director of "Young Days" is very young and looks like a young girl.
Zhou Pingan looked at her, smiled, and said, "Zhenzhen, you look very young. To be able to be in charge of a program and become a director at such a young age, you must have unparalleled talent."
Li Zhenzhen wasn't used to dealing with people like Zhou Ping'an. After being praised so unexpectedly, she immediately waved her hand and said, "You're welcome. I just happened to get this opportunity. Zhou...Agent, is it okay if I call you that?"
"Sure, Agent Zhou, people usually call me that," said Zhou Ping'an.
"You made an appointment to meet me today. Is there something wrong?" Li Zhenzhen asked.
Zhou Pingan said, "Aren't Li Zhibai and Yan Liang going to be participating in the recording of the show 'Young Days' later? I want to discuss their cooperation with this show with you."
Li Zhenzhen frowned slightly, "Cooperation?"
"Yes, some more specific cooperation matters." Zhou Pingan said.
-
"He actually refused to answer my call. It seems he was the one who did it. Haha, after such a thing happened, he didn't even call to inquire about the situation. But he bought the trending searches quickly." Li Zhibai was speechless. "He clearly knew that we really don't like being put on this kind of trending search."
"When has he ever cared about what we think?" Yan Liang was more rational. "It's already happened, so stop complaining. It's getting late. Old Lu, did Xin Zixing send you a place for lunch?"
"It's sent." Lu Yanhe nodded. "It's not far from us. I checked and it takes about fifteen minutes to drive there."
"That's fine." Yan Liang turned to Li Zhibai and asked, "After we have lunch, shall we go straight back to Yuming?"
"Don't you want to take another nap?" Li Zhibai asked.
Yan Liang: "...Didn't you just wake up an hour ago?"
Li Zhi scratched his head and said, "But I always feel sleepy after lunch."
"Then go to sleep. You are the driver, you have the final say."
Lu Yanhe said, "Then I'll get you a room card. You can come back and sleep. Just leave it at the front desk for me later."
Yan Liang nodded.
-
Xin Zixing picked up the cup and said, "I still have work to do this afternoon, so I won't drink. I'll have tea instead as a token of my gratitude."
She has a generous and big sister style at the dinner table.
After taking a sip of tea, Xin Zixing nodded and said, "The oolong tea here is good."
Lu Yanhe asked, "Sister Zixing, do you usually know anything about food and drink?"
"I wouldn't call it research, but I do try to find interesting shops," Xin Zixing said. "I often go to explore shops with my friends."
"Then if you do a live broadcast, you should have a lot of followers."
"Who knows? I don't really want to do livestreaming, or it wouldn't be that fun. I do it to relieve the fatigue and stress from work. That's why I like to spend my free time on these things, but I don't want to turn this little bit of fun into work." Xin Zixing said with a smile, "Besides, I've seen enough of the lives of you celebrities, and I don't really want to be on camera. What if I become an internet celebrity or something, and I have to worry about being filmed no matter what I do."
Li Zhibai said, "You are so beautiful, even if others don't know you, they will secretly take pictures of you."
"At least I have my privacy, no one's always snooping," Xin Zixing said. "I saw a news report not long ago that someone sneaked into Song Linxin's room. It was an avid fan who just wanted to see her sleeping."
Lu Yanhe and others widened their eyes in surprise.
"Song Linxin should have just debuted not long ago, right?" Li Zhibai said, "She also sang Yan He's "Remembering"."
"Yeah." Xin Zixing nodded. "Anyway, he's a pervert. Didn't you see the news before?"
"No." Lu Yanhe shook his head.
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang also shook their heads.
Xin Zixing: "Well, in short, you should be careful. Although you are men, in this day and age, perverts don't discriminate between men and women."
A nightmare-like twitch crossed the faces of the three people.
Xin Zixing laughed when she saw the three of them like this.
"There's no need to be so nervous. After all, it's just an extreme situation."
After lunch, they prepared to leave.
Xin Zixiong went to pay the bill, and the three of them waited for her at the restaurant entrance.
Li Zhibai suddenly remembered something and said, "Weren't there just the three of us yesterday? Why didn't she call Huang Kairen?"
"Brother Ren is filming on the set today, so he doesn't have time to come out." Lu Yanhe explained.
Li Zhibai nodded.
"Too."
"Bye then. We'll meet again after I finish filming."
"Yeah." Li Zhibai nodded.
-
Lu Yanhe got into Xin Zixing's car.
Xin Zixiong's car doesn't look very feminine.
There was nothing cute or playful in her car, not even any decorations.
Xin Zixing handed Lu Yanhe a document and said, "You can take some time to read it on the way. These are some questions we prepared. We will ask you some random questions during the filming."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
The entire plan is actually the route of a travel blogger or a store exploration blogger.
It is similar to the VLOG videos that can be seen on the Internet, with not much difference in form.
Afterwards, they met Chen Liang and Liu Yaliang at the first point - the entrance of Jiangqiao Bookstore.
Xin Zixiong gave them a brief introduction.
Lu Yanhe greeted them.
Xin Zixing told Lu Yanhe, "We'll film a video at the entrance later, mainly explaining how you discovered this bookstore."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"Chen Liang, have you finished shooting the empty shots at the bookstore?"
Chen Liang nodded.
Liu Yaliang said, "But, Zixing, we have encountered a problem."
"What's the problem?"
"The boss won't let us film inside the bookstore," Liu Yaliang said helplessly. "No matter how much I talk to him, it doesn't make any sense. I tell him that doing this will help the bookstore's business, but he won't listen."
This is the disadvantage of finding a place temporarily. No one has done a good job of pre-connection, and if you come directly to the site, it is easy to encounter various situations.
Xin Zixing: "It's okay, Boss, I'll go down and talk. Chen Liang, Yaliang, you guys just stay here and take some shots of the door."
She turned to Lu Yanhe and said, "Don't be too serious. Yaliang will lead the conversation. The camera will basically follow you from now on and won't turn off or pause. The footage will be similar to a documentary. Just say whatever comes to your mind. Don't be too serious."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
After Xin Zixing finished her instructions, she walked into the bookstore.
"Boss, do you remember me? I was here yesterday." Xin Zixing greeted the boss sitting behind the counter with a smile.
-
“There is no distinction between protagonists and supporting characters in this show.”
Li Zhenzhen said helplessly to Zhou Ping'an, "I understand you want to give Li Zhibai and Yan Liang more screen time. In fact, every artist team hopes so. But if the program is not done well, even if all the cameras are on Li Zhibai and Yan Liang, it will be useless. Agent Zhou, a program must be done well first before we can discuss subsequent issues."
Zhou Pingan: "Of course, I believe you can make this program well. Chen Biqiu highly praises you and says that you are very keen in program production."
"Yes, that's true." Li Zhenzhen nodded. "I'm confident I can create a show that everyone will like, but the prerequisite is that there will be no interference. And please believe me, I invited Li Zhibai and Yan Liang to record this show because I saw how they fit in with the show. They will definitely show their attractive side in this show. I'm not the kind of director who relies on malicious editing to attract attention, and I don't need to do that."
Zhou Ping'an: "Yes, I'm relieved to hear you say that. However, Director Zhenzhen, I think our Zhibai has made a great contribution to attracting investment for your program, right? If Zhibai's time on the show is too short, I think there will definitely be a lot of people making a fuss online. By then, the fans' opinions will be too strong, and I won't be able to stop them."
Li Zhenzhen nodded and said, "Manager Zhou, I've been in the Korean variety show production industry for a while. I've seen everything from idol artist management to the craziness of fans."
The implication was that she didn't care about those people making a fuss at all.
Zhou Ping'an didn't expect that after talking with Li Zhenzhen for so long, there was almost no progress in the end.
He got in the car, was silent for two seconds, and called Chen Biqiu.
"Chen Bijiu, you pestered us to let Li Zhibai join your program. Now that the contract is signed, you turn your back on us and want to handle the matter impartially, right?" Zhou Pingan angrily yelled at Chen Bijiu.
Chen Biqiu said calmly, "Ping'an, can't you just talk it over calmly? Why are you so angry?"
Zhou Pingan snorted coldly, "Don't you understand how you feel? Shouldn't Li Zhibai be the most popular star artist on the show 'Young Days'? At this time, you don't even plan to promote him as the main artist. What are you doing? Are you trying to use him to attract advertisers so that you can promote others?"
Chen Biqiu: "This is a very serious accusation. I can interpret it as an angry remark on your part. Zhou Ping'an, you have to understand one thing. On my show, there will be contradictions, controversies, and focuses, but there will never be a situation where one person is praised and another is criticized. When I discussed this show with you, I told you very clearly that this is a cohabitation observation program, not a show for a particular artist. The focus of this show is on the interaction between the artists, showing their true selves as young people and the social topics they share. Without that, how many people would watch me filming Li Zhibai for 90 minutes in one episode? No matter how popular he is, can 10 million viewers watch this show just to see him?"
Chen Biqiu's response was very straightforward and unquestionable.
Zhou Pingan said, "If that's what you're saying, then why did you invite Li Zhibai? You can just find a few people to record your observation variety show. Anyone can do it."
"Hey, Lao Zhou, we've known each other for a long time. Why are you saying such angry words to me? Of course we value Li Zhibai. He is the magic weapon for promoting our program."
"Then why are you still saying that bullshit?"
"I just want to explain to you what sets this show apart from others," Chen Biqiu said. "We can't interpret this show with the same standards as other shows. Am I willing to support a new talent to create a show just to make it mediocre? A new genre, a new format, is bound to have many aspects that don't fit into the current variety show landscape, and the gameplay is also different. I understand you want more screen time for Li Zhibai and Yan Liang, but more screen time isn't necessarily a good thing. I promise we won't treat them unfairly, okay?"
Zhou Pingan: "Words are not enough."
"Words aren't enough, but I've worked with you for so long. How many times have your artists appeared on my show? If your artist team made fewer demands on us, we could make the show better. And when the show is better, the artists will benefit," Chen Biqiu said. "I understand using contractual rules and regulations to protect artists, but you also know that the more rules and regulations there are, the uglier the dance will be."
Zhou Ping'an was silent.
He agreed with Chen Biqiu's words.
-
"We have never been concerned about how much profit it can bring. The key lies in the relationship between Jiangqiao Bookstore and the city of Langhua."
Xin Zixing sat with the boss at the tea table. Her voice was clear, gentle and powerful. As she spoke, she picked up the teapot and refilled the boss's cup with hot water.
"You're clearly someone who loves and holds fast to books, history, and culture. I admire your dedication to opening a used bookstore in this day and age. If this special feature can attract more young people to learn about this bookstore and make them want to learn more about it, that's exactly why I wanted to do this special feature."
"Let more people know that there is such a bookstore in Langhua. It will not only be meaningful to you, but also meaningful to everyone, especially to young people. What do you think?"
Xin Zixiong's eyes fell on the boss in front of her who was wearing tortoiseshell glasses.
Judging from his appearance, he is in his early fifties, and judging from some details of his facial expressions and reactions, he seems a little slow and stubborn.
When Xin Zixiong said every word, she was observing the other person's reaction calmly.
In the end, the topic turned to its significance for young people.
…
Five minutes later, Xin Zixing came out of the bookstore, nodded to them, and said, "The owner agreed. Let's go in."
Liu Yaliang looked at her in surprise and asked, "Wow, Zixing, how did you do that?"
Xin Zixing smiled slightly and said, "Hurry up, we have other places to go today."
She turned to Lu Yanhe and said, "Yanhe, when we go in to shoot later, I'd like you to talk to the owner."
Lu Yanhe nodded and asked, "Any requirements for what we want to talk about?"
"Just a casual chat is fine," Xin Zixing said. "Don't make it too serious."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
So, the filming began.
-
At the filming site of "The Golden Age", people would pass by Huang Kairen from time to time and talk about what happened last night.
Everyone looked at Huang Kairen with admiration.
Even director Luo Yuzhong patted him on the shoulder today and said, "Well done on yesterday's job."
Huang Kairen smiled and dealt with everyone, but he still felt a little guilty. Everyone now regarded him as a hero who stood up to protect a stranger girl, but the reality was not the case. If everyone knew that girl was his girlfriend, how would they view this matter?
Huang Kairen felt a little uneasy.
When he was uneasy, Wang Yunfan felt a little jealous.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with him. He was telling Huang Kairen yesterday that he shouldn't be so impulsive, but the facts proved that Huang Kairen's action brought him rich rewards.
Just by being on the hot search today, he has established a heroic image in the hearts of many people, and all the media and netizens are praising him.
At this moment, Wang Yunfan also began to regret why he didn't go down with them yesterday?
Of course, it is impossible to admit it. Wang Yunfan will never admit to others that he regrets it.
Only he himself knows what is in his mind.
If this incident only made him feel a little regretful, Li Qian's attitude made him a little concerned.
Throughout the day today, Li Qian was actively describing to everyone at the scene how handsome Huang Kairen was when he rushed out last night, acting like a real fangirl.
Wang Yunfan got angry just by looking at it, even a little upset.
Now, the crew is taking a break.
Everyone is waiting for the daybreak and the sunset.
In the next scene, director Luo Yuzhong wanted to shoot a panoramic shot of them at sunset.
This scene is a very brilliant moment in the play. It is a rare moment of harmony among these people as they fight against foreign enemies together.
There was joy on the set.
"Kairen, do you want to go karaoke together tonight?" Wang Yunfan suddenly heard Li Qian's voice asking Huang Kairen cheerfully.
Wang Yunfan was unhappy, why didn't he come and ask him?
Even though he knew that Li Qian liked Huang Kairen, he could never correct his attitude.
Huang Kairen shook his head and said, "I have something to do tonight, so I won't go. You guys go have fun."
Li Qian sighed in disappointment.
"Every time I ask you out, you reject me."
Huang Kairen: "It just happened that I was busy. I will definitely do it next time."
"Okay."
Wang Yunfan deliberately didn't look over there and waited for Li Qian to come to him.
"Hey, Wang Yunfan, we're going to sing karaoke tonight, are you coming?"
Wang Yunfan glanced at her and said, "Does it matter whether I go or not? You didn't ask me to go because Huang Kairen rejected you, did you?"
Li Qian gave him a puzzled look and said, "What does it have to do with whether I ask you to go or not, or whether Huang Kairen goes or not?"
Wang Yunfan's expression looked a little better.
"You haven't been normal all day. What's wrong with you?" Li Qian asked.
Wang Yunfan immediately denied it: "What's wrong with me today? Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense. You're just a little bit abnormal right now." Li Qian said firmly, "Forget it, whether you want to admit it or not, I'm going to sing karaoke tonight, so don't stand me up."
Wang Yunfan thought to himself, when have I ever stood you up?
In the evening scene, when the sun set, the sky seemed to be filled with countless goldfish swimming in it. Luo Yuzhong grabbed all the actors and filmed this scene, which was successfully completed before the sunset completely sank into the ground.
When we finished work, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening.
Wang Yunfan saw Huang Kairen hurriedly packing up his things and leaving. It looked like he really had something to do in the evening.
"What do you think Huang Kairen did at night?" Li Qian suddenly appeared from behind him, saying this with a hint of resentment.
Wang Yunfan was startled and said angrily, "Can you please stop popping up from behind me like a ghost? It's not even dark yet and you're already scaring me."
Li Qian: "Ah, how can you understand my mood."
Wang Yunfan: “…”
Wang Yunfan: "What on earth attracted you to him that made you act like this?"
"I fell in love with her at first sight." Li Qian said seriously.
"There are so many handsome men in the entertainment industry."
"But there's only one Huang Kairen," Li Qian said. "That's his unique charm."
Wang Yunfan: "Stop, stop. I don't want to listen to your crazy talk anymore. If you want to know what he did at night, just go and ask him yourself."
"Can you help me ask?"
"You wish."
"You're not my friend anymore."
"Not at this time."
"Wow, Wang Yunfan, you have no loyalty at all at this time."
"I don't want to be loyal to you at all at this time." Wang Yunfan just felt that this moment was extremely ridiculous.
-
As soon as Huang Kairen got in the car, he called Xin Zixing.
"Zixing, where are you?"
"We're filming now," Xin Zixing said. "I'll call you later."
Huang Kairen: "Then I'll wait for you for dinner?"
"Don't wait for me. I probably won't finish until very late tonight." Xin Zixing said, "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. Lu Yanhe is right next to us. We'll talk later."
Huang Kairen was stunned when he heard this, "Lu Yanhe?"
Unfortunately, Xin Zixing didn't hear his exclamation at all and hung up the phone directly.
Huang Kairen: “…”
What's going on?
He immediately opened the chat box with Xin Zixiong and sent a text message.
-
Xin Zixiong's phone kept vibrating. She looked down and saw that they were all messages from Huang Kairen asking her why she was with Lu Yanhe.
Xin Zixiong replied with two words: "work".
Now, Lu Yanhe was holding a grilled sausage in his hand and eating as he walked forward.
"I think Langhua is a city well worth exploring for outsiders like us. It has many places that appear ordinary at first glance, but reveal a whole new world once you open the door." Lu Yanhe spoke to the camera, smiling and pointing to the river to their right. "Also, I haven't seen a riverbank like this in a long time. There are several barbecue restaurants and snack stalls along the riverbank, and it looks very lively. If Li Zhibai and Yan Liang were here, we would definitely go there to eat tonight."
Xin Zixing looked at Lu Yanhe, and a slight smile appeared involuntarily in her eyes.
Lu Yanhe was full of vigor and vitality, which made her happy to see him.
A person’s most energetic and insightful period is these few years.
Xin Zixiong sincerely hoped that Lu Yanhe could maintain this temperament for a little longer.
She couldn't help but think of the time when she first met Huang Kairen. At that time, Huang Kairen was not many years older than Lu Yanhe is now.
He had not yet become famous and had the confusion of a young man about the future, but at that time, he was also full of confidence in the future.
They can eat five-dollar instant noodles and dream of having dinner in a high-end restaurant ten years later.
Xin Zixing thought of that time when they were in a small house, hugging each other and watching TV series. It was warm and cozy, and there was a sweet and soft light in the depths of her memory.
-
"Let's have dinner together." Lu Yanhe asked Xin Zixing.
Xin Zixiong nodded and said okay.
They had already found a place for dinner in the afternoon. However, to ensure smooth filming, they planned to go after the busiest meal time.
It's around 7:30 in the evening now, and the first group of people should have finished eating.
They took a taxi and headed for the hotel.
The driver was a little surprised when he saw Chen Liang carrying a camera. He asked, "What are you filming?"
"Just some random footage." Xin Zixing quickly explained, "We're usually more interested in making documentaries."
“Oh, I see.” The driver laughed. “I thought you were here to record a show.”
Lu Yanhe laughed.
I had thought this was just a minor incident, but the driver suddenly said, "Oh my god, I wonder when I'll see Lu Yanhe come to Langhua. I heard this celebrity scored 657 on the college entrance exam. He can choose between Zhenhua and Yuming. This is really enviable. How did this kid manage to be a celebrity and do so well on the college entrance exam at the same time? I really want to learn from him when I see him."
Lu Yanhe was sitting in the back seat, right behind the driver, in the driver's blind spot.
Perhaps because it was almost dark and the light was insufficient when they got in the car, the driver did not recognize that the person sitting in his car was Lu Yanhe, whom he had been thinking about.
Xin Zixing, Chen Liang and Liu Yaliang were all trying to suppress their laughter.
Chen Liang did not turn off the camera at this time and was still recording Lu Yanhe.
Chen Liang thought that this part should be included in the main film as an interesting clip, which would probably make many people laugh.
At this time, Xin Zixing suddenly asked: "Master, if you meet Lu Yanhe, do you have any questions for him?"
"I just want to ask him how he got such good grades!" the driver said without hesitation. "My child studies until the early morning every day, but his grades haven't improved. It's so frustrating that I can't sleep at night."
"How old is your child?" Xin Zixing asked again.
The driver said, "He's in the first year of high school. Oh, there are only two years until the college entrance examination. With this score, it will be difficult to get into a third-tier university."
"There's still time. Look at Lu Yanhe. When he started his senior year, he was ranked around 500th in his grade, but within a year, he shot up to second in the grade," Xin Zixing said. "Or, you could let your kids watch Lu Yanhe's livestreams. I heard he often answers fans' questions about their studies."
"Really?" the driver asked. "I don't let my child go online because I'm afraid he won't realize it."
"It's good to let him have some rest. Besides, he studies until the early hours every day. Why are you still worried that he won't be disciplined?" Xin Zixing said, "How are your child's grades now?"
"Oh, there's no way he can compare with Lu Yanhe. He's ranked 20th in the grade and there's no way he can get into the top ten." The driver looked worried.
Xin Zixing, who had been talking to the driver for a long time, was stunned on the spot.
"You still say your grades haven't improved?"
"I want him to get into the top ten, but he just can't make it. Doesn't this mean he's not making any progress?" said the driver.
Xin Zixing: "...Uncle, don't put too much pressure on your child. To be able to rank in the top 20 in the grade, he must be a top student. At this stage, you should take some pressure off him."
"Do you think Lu Yanhe has relaxed his load?" the driver said. "I've heard he studies until the early hours every day."
"That's because his foundation was too weak, so he needs to cram. But he also said that when it comes to studying, if you're too rigid, you'll easily break. If you focus all your attention on improving your grades, your grades will actually decline." Lu Yanhe finally couldn't help but speak up. "Only by relaxing properly can you maintain better concentration and focus."
"Tsk, you youngsters, listen to what he said. Let me tell you, people who say that usually just say it, but they're actually even more ruthless in their studies," the driver said. "Just like the top student in my kid's class. He always says he never stays up late or goes to cram school, but guess what, he's secretly enrolled in four cram schools."
"Are you really that hardworking?" Xin Zixiong couldn't believe it.
"That's right," the driver said. "So, all this talk about proper rest and giving kids time to themselves is bullshit. It's all just deception."
"I'm not kidding you, uncle," Lu Yanhe said. "I should rest when I really need to. Pushing on when you're exhausted is just a waste of time. Studying until the wee hours every day is really unnecessary. If I didn't have such a poor foundation and needed to cram, I would definitely get seven hours of sleep every day, and I would have done much better on the exam."
"What's the point of you saying this?"
"Uncle, I'm Lu Yanhe," he said.
"what do you?"
"I said, I'm Lu Yanhe, the Lu Yanhe you want to meet."
The car suddenly braked!
The taxi stopped directly on the side of the road.
The driver suddenly turned around and looked at Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe silently nodded to the driver, saluted, and said, "Hello, uncle."
The driver stared at Lu Yanhe for a long while, then suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes gleaming with surprise. "Are you really Lu Yanhe?! Wow!"
The driver looked shocked and delighted as if he had seen his idol.
Lu Yanhe was embarrassed, smiled, and said, "Yes, I am Lu Yanhe."
Driver: "Are you recording a show?"
"Actually, it's not a recording. It won't be broadcast on TV or video websites." Lu Yanhe explained, "Uncle, I've heard you say a lot just now, so I have to explain this to you."
"Okay, since you said it, of course I believe it." The driver wiped his hands excitedly and said, "Can I take a photo with you later?"
"Sure, let's take a photo when we get there." Lu Yanhe said.
The driver nodded immediately.
"Hahaha, what a coincidence! I didn't expect you to be in my car right now! Who would believe this if I told anyone?" the driver said, "You have to take a photo with me later, otherwise my kids won't believe I saw you."
"Okay, don't worry, I will take a photo with you later." Lu Yanhe was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
