Chapter 119: You Taught Me This Principle Long Ago

After Lu Yan He got up and left, Cheng Hai asked Li Zhibai and Yan Liang with some surprise: "Has Lu Yan He changed a lot?"

Li Zhibai nodded. "That change is very big."

Cheng Hai sighed: "It feels like he's a completely different person."

"Forced," Li Zhibai said. "But him becoming like this is quite good, much better than before."

Cheng Hai also nodded and said: "He's much better now than when he didn't speak before, but he's also really capable. He said he'd go find Zhou Ping'an and he went. I remember before, he was very afraid of going to find Zhou Ping'an, and every time he had to brew for a long time before going."

"Zhou Ping'an's attitude toward him is also the worst," Li Zhibai said.

When Lu Yan He came over, Zhou Ping'an thought Lu Yan He was here to ask about the audition for "The Golden Age."

Since the meeting ended in the morning, Zhou Ping'an had been waiting for Lu Yan He to come find him. In his expectation, Lu Yan He should be very angry and furious, coming to question him why this opportunity that belonged to him had become everyone's.

Zhou Ping'an had already prepared to ridicule him well—the termination agreement had already been signed; Zhou Ping'an didn't intend to leave any face for Lu Yan He now.

But Lu Yan He hadn't come, which made Zhou Ping'an keep muttering in his heart, feeling strange.

Now that he finally came, Zhou Ping'an's heart finally settled down, preparing to teach him how to behave after Lu Yan He questioned him—these days, it's not enough to succeed just by having one or two noble people.

As a result, as soon as Lu Yan He opened his mouth, it caught him off guard.

"Ma Zhiyuan wanted to make a move on Li Zhibai, and I stopped it, but I was accidentally injured because of it." Lu Yan He showed Zhou Ping'an his bandaged wrist. "You are our agent, this matter should be handled by you to help me solve it."

Zhou Ping'an was stunned.

This was not quite the script he had set.

"What's going on?" Zhou Ping'an asked.

Lu Yan He told the story of what happened in the restaurant.

After hearing what Ma Zhiyuan said, Zhou Ping'an also frowned.

Feng Zhi was indeed not popular, but it was a boy group he managed. What were these brats from MX being crazy about?

Zhou Ping'an had anger in his heart, but he was still unwilling to find trouble with a popular idol like Ma Zhiyuan for such a matter.

It wasn't Li Zhibai who was injured.

Lu Yan He saw what Zhou Ping'an was thinking at a glance.

He immediately said: "I came to find you because if I don't, Li Zhibai and Cheng Hai will go find trouble with Ma Zhiyuan. I think you are like me, not wanting this matter to continue to ferment, right?"

As soon as Zhou Ping'an heard this, he immediately frowned.

"They are messing around. A group of people who are idols, and they are like street thugs, coming to blows at the slightest disagreement?"

"Yeah," Lu Yan He nodded in agreement. "No matter what, they are friends I've known for more than two years in the same group, and I don't want to see them suffer losses. But I can't control their tempers either. If Brother Ping'an can't make Ma Zhiyuan give an attitude about this matter, I don't know what they will do. You know Li Zhibai's temper; once his temper comes up, he doesn't listen to anyone. Because I was injured blocking for him, he is now very guilty toward me and is holding a ball of fire with nowhere to vent."

Zhou Ping'an looked at Lu Yan He with some shock.

The meaning behind Lu Yan He's words was actually threatening him.

Zhou Ping'an didn't think he had misunderstood the meaning; he was just shocked by Lu Yan He again.

His change was simply a rebirth—obviously, Lu Yan He knew very well that he wouldn't care about his injury at all, but he would definitely be wary of Li Zhibai being involved in this matter and causing more trouble. That was why Lu Yan He was so fearless in asking him for an explanation.

Did Lu Yan He have such a mind before?

Zhou Ping'an didn't quite remember when the last time he had a proper chat with Lu Yan He was.

After signing, Lu Yan He, someone without family background or strength, quickly went out of style, was timid in front of him, and had no opinions of his own. Zhou Ping'an had subconsciously looked down on him for a long time.

Lu Yan He being able to suddenly produce an original song had already shocked him, and the subsequent negotiation made Zhou Ping'an look at Lu Yan He with new eyes. The former could be said to be Lu Yan He's talent, but the latter was a real change in character.

No matter how high an artist's talent was, to Zhou Ping'an, it was just the ability to make money. But an artist's character becoming more rounded and mature was a threat that was difficult to control for Zhou Ping'an.

Zhou Ping'an scrutinized Lu Yan He's face.

Lu Yan He was still in a calm, simple, and clean posture, but at this moment, it made Zhou Ping'an feel unfathomable.

"I will communicate with Ma Zhiyuan's agent about this matter, but you should know that he is a popular idol. Even if I communicate, it is difficult to achieve any effect. The company will definitely protect him and not let his public image be damaged."

"It's fine. Anyway, if the handling result can't satisfy Li Zhibai, I will try my best to appease Li Zhibai," Lu Yan He said. "Anyway, I will terminate the contract with the company after the college entrance exam next year. It's nothing to suffer a little grievance now; I don't have the ability to protect myself."

Zhou Ping'an's heart skipped a beat.

Lu Yan He nodded to him and turned to leave.

"Are you implying something to me?" Zhou Ping'an asked.

"Hmm?" Lu Yan He looked at Zhou Ping'an with an innocent face. "Brother Ping'an, what are you talking about?"

"If there is no satisfactory handling result for this matter, and Li Zhibai doesn't intend to continue pursuing it, what about you?" Zhou Ping'an had never thought that one day he would ask such a question. "Will you swallow this grievance?"

Lu Yan He laughed.

"When I am an artist of this company, of course I will swallow it. When people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads," Lu Yan He smiled purely.

He didn't say the following words.

But there was no need to say them.

Zhou Ping'an must understand.

When he was no longer an artist of this company, what did he have to be wary of?

Just let it break, anyway, there was nothing left to lose.

Zhou Ping'an clenched his hands and took a deep breath.

"Right and wrong are not for you alone to decide," Zhou Ping'an said suddenly.

Zhou Ping'an was reminding Lu Yan He that in this matter, the parties involved were all artists of the company. If Lu Yan He said anything randomly outside, the company would have ways to make others change their statements and make Lu Yan He a "liar."

Lu Yan He looked at him suspiciously: "Brother Ping'an, you taught me this principle long ago. Why do you still think I would naively think that I could clarify right and wrong by myself? Do you think I am still the Lu Yan He from before?" ===== CHAPTER 120 =====
