Chapter 115: Transformation

"Sigh, to be honest, I originally thought the result of this matter would at least be Hong Zhixing apologizing to Xu Zijun."

After evening self-study ended, on the way to the school gate, Li Pengfei said.

"How could that be?" Lu Yan He hadn't thought so from the beginning. "She is in the top ten of the grade, and her father is a lawyer. There is no way she would smear her resume at such a critical time. Look at her black-and-white-blind slander of Xu Zijun at the beginning, that attitude—the blame was already placed on Xu Zijun's head. Being able to remove that blame now is already very good."

Li Pengfei was furious: "Is being a lawyer so great? Her father is a lawyer, but my father isn't—does that mean I can't afford a lawyer?"

"That's not what I mean. I mean that Liu Laoshi being able to handle this matter to this result is already the best situation for Xu Zijun at the moment." Lu Yan He said. "If it weren't Xu Zijun this time, but you or Lin Yu, then we could push to make a big deal out of it. But look at Xu Zijun's family situation, the attitude her parents have toward her—you haven't heard what her sister said? Liu Laoshi must also know Xu Zijun's family situation and know that her parents certainly wouldn't give much support in this matter. So, ending this matter by making a big issue small is the best handling for Xu Zijun."

Li Pengfei's brows furrowed instantly when Lu Yan He mentioned Xu Zijun's parents.

"Damn, I forgot to give her that letter from her sister." He sighed and stopped walking. "Then you go first; I'll go give her the letter."

Lu Yan He nodded.

"I only have the last bus left, so I won't accompany you."

"I know, you go do your thing." Li Pengfei turned around and walked back.

Xu Zijun lived on campus; now she was either in the classroom or back in the dormitory.

Lu Yan He walked to the bus stop to wait for the bus.

A car drove past him.

Luo Zicheng sat in the car, glanced at him, and rolled up the window.

Lu Yan He withdrew his gaze, put on his headphones, and continued listening to the audio.

The night was already very deep.

There were quite a few students taking the last bus. When Lu Yan He got on, there were no seats, so he had to stand.

Even though he was wearing headphones, some discussions around him still reached his ears.

"Isn't that Lu Yan He?"

"Why is he taking the bus with us?"

"Is there no car to pick him up?"

Usually, Lu Yan He would leave after the first session of evening self-study or before the second session ended; he rarely stayed until the end of evening self-study.

Otherwise, he would have to catch the evening rush hour like now.

The discussions around him were like the car window Luo Zicheng had rolled up; it was impossible to say that it didn't have some impact on Lu Yan He's mindset.

But he still tried his best to adjust his mindset.

Other people's opinions were completely unimportant.

What was important was who you were and what you wanted to do.

In less than a month since transmigrating, he had already experienced many things here.

He was becoming more and more familiar with life here and with the identity of Lu Yan He, and he was identifying with it more and more.

His former world and life seemed to have become a dream, sinking deeper into his heart, where only he knew, and only he would think of it in the middle of the night.

But here, for the vast majority of the time, he was occupied by the people and things here with all his energy.

Especially after this incident with Xu Zijun, he had experienced another emotional and cognitive shock. He was a transmigrator, yes, but before coming to this world, he was still just a young man who had just turned eighteen. He still had many shortcomings, deficiencies, and areas that needed improvement.

It wasn't enough just to get into a good university.

In the future, when encountering such problems, how could they be solved better?

How could he gain more power to protect what he believed to be right?

Xu Zijun's matter touched Lu Yan He a lot; these touches were not even discovered by Li Pengfei.

Everyone subconsciously distinguished him from Xu Zijun and would never think that the two of them had similarities. The former was a celebrity artist, the latter was an ordinary student; the former had a peculiar life different from ordinary people, the latter had to work very hard to break free from the shackles of their background to earn a place.

However, Lu Yan He knew himself that among so many people, the one whose situation was most similar to his was actually Xu Zijun.

A family that couldn't provide support, an ordinary life with no ability to parry sudden accidents.

He told Li Pengfei that being able to remove the blame was the best result for Xu Zijun, which was actually a pessimistic summary of his own current situation.

What else could they do?

Without the power to protect themselves, they could only endure.

But, endure once, endure twice—did they have to endure forever?

How could they not endure forever?

Power.

Gain more power.

Not just the power to fight back when others provoke you, but the power to be so strong that others wouldn't even dare to provoke you!

"Yo, you're back." Li Zhibai was lying on the sofa playing games. Seeing Lu Yan He return, he greeted him, "Why are you back so late today?"

"I came back after finishing evening self-study." Lu Yan He changed his shoes and yawned.

"Are you still live-streaming tonight?"

"Live-streaming." Lu Yan He nodded. "I promised them I would live-stream every day."

Li Zhibai clicked his tongue and sighed: "If I had your perseverance, I guess I could have gotten into Zhenhua too."

Lu Yan He laughed.

"By the way, don't say I didn't tell you—there's one thing I forgot to tell you yesterday. Zhou Ping'an wants us all to go to the company this Saturday." Li Zhibai said.

"Including me?" Lu Yan He was a bit surprised.

You know, he had been away from group activities for a long time.

Li Zhibai nodded and said, "Yeah, including you. Zhou Ping'an specifically mentioned it."

Lu Yan He felt a bit strange, or rather, shocked.

What kind of trick was Zhou Ping'an playing?

He had already signed the termination agreement with him; what business did he have at the company? Zhou Ping'an was bent on sweeping him out the door and wished he would never appear in front of others again.

Lu Yan He felt strange, returned to his room, started live-streaming, and continued reading and doing problems.

On Saturday, Lu Yan He went to the company with Yan Liang and Li Zhibai.

The result was also something he hadn't expected: the hundreds of trainees signed by the company were all there.

A group of people were ushered into a large conference room.

Lu Yan He sat in the middle of the crowd, puzzled for a moment, not knowing what big event had happened. Today, it looked like all the male idol artists signed to the company had been summoned.

Zhou Ping'an stood on the podium and said with a smile, "Summoning everyone today is to announce two very important things. Let's invite President Ma to speak to everyone."

Lu Yan He sat in the crowd, applauded with everyone, and looked suspiciously as Vice President Ma took the stage. ===== CHAPTER 116 =====
