Chapter 116: The Lackey Zhou Ping'an

The posture Zhou Ping'an used to invite Vice President Ma to the stage was truly respectful—a forty-five-degree bow and a face full of smiles made Lu Yan He feel exceptionally uncomfortable.

After all, this person had always been bossy in front of them, the small artists.

Vice President Ma took the stage, coughed lightly twice, and then began to speak.

"Everyone might be very curious why the company summoned all of you here today for a meeting." Vice President Ma smiled. "Don't be anxious, everyone. That's because a great piece of good news is about to fall on your heads."

As soon as Vice President Ma finished speaking, a commotion immediately broke out in the audience.

Everyone looked at each other, unable to help but discuss.

Good news?

Great good news?

Falling on their heads?

Among those present today, except for a few idol artists with higher popularity like Li Zhibai, basically everyone was not very famous or popular.

Such things almost never happened to them.

Therefore, when everyone heard this sentence, they were all a bit excited for a moment.

Seeing that his suspense was very successful, making everyone excited and looking at him eagerly, Vice President Ma smiled with satisfaction.

"Our company's gold-medal agent, Chen Ziyan, is coming back soon. She will hold an open audition within the company to select a few newcomers." After Vice President Ma finished speaking, seeing that most people had no reaction, he knew that many people didn't know Chen Ziyan's name and therefore didn't know how significant this was for them, so he immediately added, "Chen Ziyan is a legendary agent of our Star Entertainment agency. She once brought out two super first-tier big stars, Chen Bige and Shang Yongzhou. She went on vacation half a year ago and will return to the company next month. Those selected by Chen Ziyan have never failed to become popular. You should know now what a precious opportunity this is for you."

Many people didn't know Chen Ziyan, but no one hadn't heard the names Chen Bige and Shang Yongzhou.

As these two names were spoken, a burst of cheering sounded throughout the venue.

Vice President Ma really hadn't exaggerated to them.

If someone were truly favored by Chen Ziyan, had their development path tailored by her, and were fed a hand of excellent resources, becoming a big hit depended on fate, but becoming a small hit was definitely guaranteed.

Vice President Ma specifically let these people discuss for a while before interrupting them, saying, "So, everyone, work hard during this period. As long as you can be favored by Chen Ziyan, your path to popularity will be just around the corner."

Lu Yan He felt that almost everyone around him was gearing up, having quite a feeling of wanting to do everything possible to win this opportunity.

Yan Liang also asked in a low voice, "Can we also participate in the audition? Won't Brother Ping'an have an opinion?"

"With his narrow-minded personality, how could he not have an opinion?" Li Zhibai said directly. "If you dare to participate in Chen Ziyan's audition, he will definitely freeze you later."

Yan Liang's face fell immediately.

"Sigh."

Yan Liang suddenly thought of something and said, "Old Lu can try it."

Anyway, Zhou Ping'an didn't like him to begin with.

Li Zhibai nodded and said, "I think so too. Old Lu can actually try it. Anyway, you and Zhou Ping'an have already fallen out to that extent."

Lu Yan He nodded.

He added, "Don't tell others yet. I promised Zhou Ping'an before that I would stay at school and study with peace of mind."

"Who cares about him," Li Zhibai said. "He doesn't have the ability to manage Chen Ziyan's affairs."

Lu Yan He thought to himself, if Zhou Ping'an were the only one wanting to kick him out of the company, it would be much simpler. Now, he didn't know who the person behind Zhou Ping'an was, nor did he know who else was watching him in the dark, wanting to kick out a small artist like him who had no threat?

Why?

Lu Yan He could never figure this out.

"The second thing," Vice President Ma spoke again.

As soon as he spoke, the audience immediately quieted down.

The first thing had given them such a big surprise; now everyone was very curious about what the second thing was.

"Director Luo Yuzhong's new drama, 'The Golden Age,' is coming to our company for casting. This drama will star Jiang Yuqian, and we need to select someone to play Jiang Yuqian's first love in the drama."

As soon as Vice President Ma finished speaking, the conference room, which had just returned to quiet, erupted into a new round of shock and surprise.

This time, even Lu Yan He and Yan Liang opened their eyes wide.

However, their surprise was different from others.

They looked at Lu Yan He for the first time.

Lu Yan He also opened his eyes wide in surprise, not reacting for a moment.

This drama, this role—wasn't it the one Jiang Yuqian had recommended to him before?

Why was it suddenly brought here and become an opportunity for everyone?

Lu Yan He didn't think for too long before he quickly reacted and looked at Zhou Ping'an.

Zhou Ping'an was sitting in the first row on the left.

He didn't look back but was smiling along with everyone else.

Lu Yan He couldn't see the expression on Zhou Ping'an's face at this moment, but he could almost imagine Zhou Ping'an's mood right now.

Yes, that's right, Jiang Yuqian recommended an opportunity to you.

So what?

Do you think we have no way to deal with you? No problem. As long as we do some tricks, this audition opportunity will become everyone's, and you will suddenly have to compete with over a hundred people.

Lu Yan He could completely imagine Zhou Ping'an's inner voice.

Zhou Ping'an's inner depths indeed, as Lu Yan He expected, gave rise to a sense of control of having the victory in his grasp.

But Lu Yan He got one thing wrong: this idea wasn't his.

Zhou Ping'an looked at Vice President Ma standing on the podium, the latter having a kind and amiable smile, like a benevolent elder who cared very much about these young people.

He couldn't help but think that when it came to being black-hearted, it had to be Vice President Ma. He could even think of such a damaging trick.

Zhou Ping'an didn't know how Vice President Ma had talked to Jiang Yuqian and Director Luo Yuzhong, but the final result changed from Lu Yan He auditioning alone to over a hundred young artists in the company auditioning.

Zhou Ping'an didn't look back; he actually really wanted to look back and see Lu Yan He's expression right now.

But that would be too obvious.

He didn't know how Lu Yan He had offended Vice President Ma to be targeted like this.

He couldn't help it either.

Zhou Ping'an actually felt a bit of regret.

Now Lu Yan He's image was positive, he was quite popular, and he could create a song. Now this song, "Commemoration," had very impressive streaming numbers on music platforms, and many people liked listening to this song very much.

If operated well, Lu Yan He and this song would both be an order of magnitude more popular than they were now.

But unfortunately, it couldn't be done.

Earning less commission was, of course, very painful for Zhou Ping'an.

But no matter how painful, it wasn't worth offending Vice President Ma.

Zhou Ping'an was calculating his own little abacus—Chen Ziyan was coming back, and the two most popular artists, Li Zhibai and Cheng Hai, couldn't be snatched away by her. He had to have a good talk with them later.
