Chapter 146: One Livestream, One Book

The gathering place was decided like this.

Linyu is the class monitor, and her appeal in the class has always been very high.

In the end, there were more than forty classmates who decided to come to dinner. Three tables couldn't sit them all, so there was no way, they just had to squeeze a bit.

Fortunately, they were all young boys and girls, so it didn't matter if they squeezed; it was more lively.

Everyone finished the exam and was in a free state like a wild horse finally breaking free from the reins, looking much more excited than usual.

Chu Saiying didn't come to this gathering, and Luo Zicheng didn't come either, so the atmosphere was exceptionally good.

Having spent two years in a classroom, it's impossible to say there were no feelings.

Everyone didn't drink alcohol, just drank fruit juice, talking about past awkward things, various memories, and teasing. They were all trivial things, but because of the rendering of graduation, every thing had a preciousness like the past cannot be chased.

After dinner, many people had to go home.

Although they had finished the college entrance exam, in the eyes of their parents, they were still children and couldn't stay out too late.

Linyu asked the remaining people if they wanted to go to KTV to sing. They got the support of many people, and those who didn't want to go naturally used going home as an excuse and went back.

In the end, there were more than ten people who went to KTV.

Lu Yan He had no objection, especially since Li Pengfei pulled him to go, so he naturally didn't refuse.

Even at this time, Li Pengfei still hadn't gone public with Xu Zijun.

Xu Zijun and Li Xiang walked together.

When they arrived at the KTV, no one was embarrassed to sing the first song, so they looked at Lu Yan He.

Lu Yan He: "???"

To be honest, he didn't like singing that much.

However, everyone asked him to sing one first. He was pushed up, so he asked everyone what they wanted to hear.

Linyu said: "Don't know if there is 'Commemoration,' why not sing 'Commemoration'? Everyone likes to listen to this song very much."

Lu Yan He nodded and said: "Okay."

Linyu went to order the song, and sure enough, it was there. It was at least made famous by Song Linxin.

She ordered the version from "Small Song Crowd Gathering" of course.

Lu Yan He picked up the microphone.

In the eyes of the third-class classmates, this song was written by Lu Yan He for their class.

After singing a song, everyone was applauding.

"So good to listen to!" Mei Ping raised her hands and swayed, "Song God, you must, must become a superstar, hold a concert, and invite us to watch the concert!"

Others also followed and shouted.

"Must invite us to watch your concert!"

"We'll buy tickets ourselves!" someone immediately said.

Lu Yan He smiled.

He said: "If I hold a concert in the future, I will invite everyone."

Mei Ping took the lead in cheering.

Lu Yan He opened the field, and everyone wasn't reserved anymore, starting to order songs.

Lu Yan He sang many songs with everyone, and he was a bit tired later, so he went to the restroom.

Li Pengfei came out with him.

"Li Cui's singing is too magical," Li Pengfei complained.

Lu Yan He smiled.

"Old Lu, when are you going to film?" he asked.

Lu Yan He said: "Next month."

"Filming in Yuming?"

"Don't know yet, probably won't be filmed in Yuming," Lu Yan He said. "Why?"

"Nothing, just curious," Li Pengfei said. "My dad asked me to ask you when you are free, he wants to invite you to dinner."

"I, I am free these two days."

Before, Li Pengfei's dad said there was a product to cooperate with his livestream room, but there was no follow-up later. Don't know if there was a problem with product development or if he gave up the idea of this cooperation. Lu Yan He didn't ask, his attention was on preparing for the exam. Now Li Pengfei's dad invited him to dinner again, so he remembered this matter again.

"That's fine, I'll tell him later and see when he can invite you," Li Pengfei said. "Don't know what score I can get in the end. Did you estimate your score?"

"No."

"Me neither," Li Pengfei said. "My dad insisted on me estimating a score, I'm too lazy to estimate."

"Are you preparing to go out to play this summer?"

"That's for sure. My dad said, wait for my brother to have summer vacation, let him take me to Europe for a circle."

"Big household, going out to play is playing circle by circle," Lu Yan He asked. "This won't be back in half a month, right?"

"Half a month? We initially set an itinerary of more than twenty days," Li Pengfei said proudly.

Lu Yan He gave him a thumbs up.

"You are awesome, big household is big household."

Li Pengfei said: "Don't babble, I'll bring you a gift later."

"Okay, waiting for the young master's reward," Lu Yan He teased.

To say that in this senior year of high school, the most important person Lu Yan He met was Li Pengfei. It could be considered not knowing each other without fighting. At first, they didn't like each other, but after being messed with by Luo Zicheng, this common enemy, they became friends instead.

Being able to get a friend like Li Pengfei is luck.

A person can of course have no friends, but if a person really has no friends, it is always a bit lonely.

After singing, it was already 11:30 at night.

Everyone dispersed at the KTV entrance.

Xu Zijun and Li Xiang both went to Linyu's house to sleep. Their homes were too far away, and it would take more than two hours to go back. It was so late, and Linyu had invited them long ago.

Chen Qin sent the three girls back.

Li Pengfei's family had a car to pick him up, so he let Lu Yan He get in his car, saying he wanted to send him back.

Lu Yan He didn't stand on ceremony with Li Pengfei and got in the car directly.

Seeing Li Pengfei and Xu Zijun still keeping their distance in front of people, Lu Yan He really wanted to ask Li Pengfei, but because of his driver, he was embarrassed to speak.

Li Pengfei said: "If you have nothing to do tomorrow, go shopping with me? I want to buy two laptops, accompany me to pick them?"

"Okay," Lu Yan He nodded. "If I knew earlier, I would have been with you. I just went to buy a laptop this morning."

"You didn't say earlier," Li Pengfei finished, then reacted and asked: "You still got up this morning? Holy crap, you animal! I slept until eleven."

"Why did you get up so late?"

"Of course because I partied all night last night!" Li Pengfei immediately said. "Finally finished the exam!"

"There's no need to party all night, what did you do?"

"Playing games," Li Pengfei smiled. "Haven't played games for half a year, played to my heart's content, even my dad didn't say anything."

"After all, just finished the exam," Lu Yan He smiled.

Sent to the community entrance, Lu Yan He got out of the car.

"See you tomorrow."

"Alright," Li Pengfei said. "I'll contact you when I wake up tomorrow."

"Okay."

Lu Yan He walked into the community facing the warm night breeze.

It was already midnight when he got home, but probably because he had just finished singing with everyone, Lu Yan He didn't feel sleepy. He thought about it and decided to livestream.

Not chatting with everyone anymore, he still couldn't digest those negative words, so he just read silently.

So, he started the livestream, Lu Yan He didn't have an opening, just muted it and started reading.

Lu Yan He usually liked reading novels, but because of preparing for the senior year of high school, this hobby was also broken.

The first novel he bought was a detective novel.

"Nineteen Years of Crime Record" written by an author named Liu Jiazhen.

Lu Yan He was shocked when he saw this book title, thinking the content of this book should be quite large-scale. The key is, this book title can actually pass the review?! -

Late at night, He Lan was ready to sleep.

She was listening to an English radio drama with headphones, yawned, and was ready to finish this episode and sleep. The phone suddenly vibrated, and there was a background prompt.

He Lan looked, it was Lu Yan He livestreaming.

This livestream time... is too hellish!

He Lan clicked in suspiciously, saw Lu Yan He adjust the camera as usual, and then lowered his head to read.

Not a trace of wanting to communicate with them.

Back to the appearance of the livestream room before.

He Lan looked curiously, saw the book title "Nineteen Years of Crime Record," and showed a surprised expression.

Does Lu Yan He actually like reading this kind of book?

Is it documentary literature or a novel?

He Lan immediately searched for this book curiously and found it was a crime-themed novel.

He Lan couldn't help but speak in the livestream chat, asking: Does Little Lu actually like reading crime-themed novels?

Probably because the livestream time was too hellish, many people had already slept, and the livestream chat wasn't as lively as usual today.

Someone said: This novel is quite good.

Immediately someone followed: What a coincidence, I am also reading this novel, it's scary, I'm hiding in the quilt to read it.

He Lan saw the discussion about this book in the livestream chat, hesitated, and decided to buy one to see what it was like.

She logged into the shopping APP, searched for the book title, and placed an order soon.

Li Chang is very young, a distribution clerk working in a warehouse.

Simply put, his job is to distribute goods in the warehouse according to orders.

Tonight, he is on the night shift.

The order volume at night is generally relatively small, so he doesn't have to be very busy.

Moreover, the warehouse he is in is books, and there are even fewer people ordering goods at night.

He originally thought he could squint for a while, but just as he sat down, the order list was sent in real-time.

A book, "Nineteen Years of Crime Record."

Li Chang muttered, buying this book late at night, the psychology is probably a bit perverted.

Muttering in his heart, he was still very diligent, agilely going to adjust the goods, then packing, sticking the cargo list, putting it aside, and preparing to ship.

Before he sat down, two more beeps, new orders came.

Li Chang was stunned, and when he looked again, he was even more stunned.

Another "Nineteen Years of Crime Record."

What is going on?

Did any celebrity recommend this book?

Li Chang didn't expect that this was just a beginning.

In the next thirty minutes, more than a dozen people placed orders for this book one after another. The inventory of his warehouse was sold out, and he had to hang up "out of stock" and apply for emergency replenishment.

Such situations happened in book warehouses all over the country.

Lu Yan He didn't know that when he was reading this novel in the livestream, nearly a thousand people placed orders for this book because they saw his livestream.

At seven in the morning, Xu Mingyue heard her phone alarm ring, immediately pressed the alarm, and climbed down from the bed.

She found an internship at a publishing house this summer.

The internship started in June. Because of her major, she did proofreading work.

This job didn't have much challenge for her, and she hoped to challenge other work content of the editor. However, this publishing house was not a grass-roots stage. As a large agency that had been operating for decades, they wouldn't hand over core work to interns.

Xu Mingyue could only do the work handed down well first.

"Hmm, you got up so early?" He Lan lifted the bed curtain, saw Xu Mingyue already dressed neatly, and asked in surprise, "Do you have class today?"

Xu Mingyue shook her head and said: "Going to internship today."

He Lan realized and nodded.

Xu Mingyue found an internship, everyone in the dormitory knew about this.

Not many students started interning after the sophomore year, most students were thinking about graduate school.

He Lan still admired Xu Mingyue very much. For the sake of the internship, she was willing not to go home for the whole summer vacation, nor go out to play, and put the whole summer vacation into the internship.

Xu Mingyue went out, took the subway, and spent about fifty minutes before arriving at her internship location, Jiang Yin Publishing House.

Xu Mingyue's internship department was in the novel editing department.

After she went in, she greeted everyone with a smile as she had done for the past few days.

"Mingyue is here."

"Oh my, your school is far from us, it doesn't matter if you arrive a little late, you don't have to always arrive before work time."

Xu Mingyue smiled and said: "It's okay, I get up early every day, it doesn't matter."

"Wow, have you heard? Last night, 'Nineteen Years of Crime Record' sold one thousand copies!" Suddenly, a female editor ran in and said in an exaggerated tone.

"Ah?"

"What's the situation?"

This news made the editors of the editorial department show surprised expressions.

Xu Mingyue, on the contrary, didn't understand why this news would make everyone so surprised.

Although it is said that physical publishing is not as red-hot as twenty years ago, selling hundreds of thousands or millions, it shouldn't be so shocking for one thousand copies, right?

"Xiaoyin, which celebrity did you find to do the promotion?" a senior asked.

Xu Xiaoyin is the responsible editor of "Nineteen Years of Crime Record." The author of this book, Liu Jiazhen, was discovered by her. He is a newcomer. If it weren't for Xu Xiaoyin's desperate efforts, it would be difficult for a newcomer's work to get a publishing opportunity.

Xu Xiaoyin was also blank, not knowing why this happened at all.

"No, 'Nineteen Years' although it sold quite well, it has been reprinted once after listing, but it only printed eight thousand copies in total. How could there be a budget to find celebrities to do promotion?" Xu Xiaoyin said.

Xu Mingyue saw everyone guessing, so she took out her phone and searched for the book "Nineteen Years of Crime Record" on the internet.

Sure enough, everything can be found on the internet now.

Selling one thousand copies of a book in one night, someone will always share it on their social media.

Xu Mingyue saw a familiar name.

"Is it actually him?" Xu Mingyue was very surprised.

"What is him?" Xu Xiaoyin asked.

Xu Mingyue said: "Last night, an artist read this book in his livestream. Many fans in his livestream room mentioned this on social media and also said they followed up and ordered one."

"Who?" Other editors heard that there was an artist's participation in this matter, and instantly showed a look of sudden realization. Now, if an artist can recommend a book, then this book can sell thousands more copies. This is a very common phenomenon.

"Lu Yan He," Xu Mingyue said.

When this name was mentioned, many people showed confusion.

"Lu Yan He?"

"Who is he?"

"A bit familiar, but don't know who it is."

"A newly debuted star?"

Xu Mingyue had to explain his background to everyone.

"So it's him," someone immediately reacted. "The high school senior who acted bravely."

After this mention, others also remembered.

This happened in Yuming. Even if Yuming locals hadn't seen the news, they must have heard people around them mention it.

"Did he just livestream reading this novel?" Xu Xiaoyin suddenly turned her head and asked Xu Mingyue.

Xu Mingyue also saw it on the internet and didn't confirm it. She didn't watch Lu Yan He's livestream.

But someone must have watched it!

Xu Mingyue thought of her roommate He Lan.

"Xiaoyin sister, wait a moment, I'll call my roommate. She watched Lu Yan He's livestream yesterday, I'll ask her what's going on."

Xu Xiaoyin nodded.

Xu Mingyue called He Lan.

"Lanlan, sorry, disturbed your sleep."

"It's okay, I'm already awake," He Lan yawned on the other side. "What's wrong? Anything?"

"Want to ask you, did you watch Lu Yan He's livestream yesterday?"

"Watched it, did I... did I affect your sleep?" He Lan's voice immediately revealed a bit of apology.

"No, didn't affect it. There is something I want to ask you. Was Lu Yan He reading the book 'Nineteen Years of Crime Record' in the livestream last night?" Xu Mingyue asked. "Did he make any relevant recommendations?"

"No, he just read for about half an hour, didn't say anything and logged off," He Lan was a bit confused. "What's wrong? Mingyue?"

Xu Mingyue said: "Because of his livestream yesterday, 'Nineteen Years of Crime Record' sold quite well, we want to know why."

"Oh, so that's it. Because he was reading this book, we discussed it in the livestream chat, were a bit curious about this book, and many people bought it. I also bought one," He Lan said.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Mingyue went to tell Xu Xiaoyin.

Others also listened and clicked their tongues twice, sighing: "Liu Jiazhen is really lucky. Just because he was read by a star like Lu Yan He, a bunch of fans immediately followed and bought it."

Xu Xiaoyin, however, fell into deep thought.

"Xiaoyin, what's wrong? Brows locked, thinking so seriously."

Xu Xiaoyin said to Editor-in-Chief Liu Cheng: "Editor-in-Chief, I want to meet Lu Yan He. Before, there were many celebrity artists who read a certain book and it was posted on social platforms, or they directly recommended a certain book, but it was rare for more than a thousand copies to be sold in one night. As far as I know, Lu Yan He is not a very famous star. His appeal is very rare."

Liu Cheng heard this and frowned slightly.

"Meet him, what do you want to talk about?" Liu Cheng said.

If you want to establish a long-term cooperation and promotion relationship with Lu Yan He, you must first get the consent of the agency.

Xu Xiaoyin: "Express gratitude. As the responsible editor of 'Nineteen Years of Crime Record,' thank him for reading this book in the livestream, which made our book sell more than a thousand copies in one night."

Liu Cheng heard this, thought for a moment, and asked: "Can't you find a way to contact him, add him as a friend, or make a phone call to express gratitude?"

Xu Xiaoyin hesitated, but still confessed: "Mainly because 'Star Track,' which I am responsible for, is also going to be listed this Thursday. I want to ask him to help with promotion. It's better to talk about this in person. I also need to give him the book in person."

"Star Track" is another book Xu Xiaoyin is responsible for, a youth literature book.

Similarly, it was written by a not-very-famous author, but Xu Xiaoyin did various data surveys and statistics to convince the agency to publish this book.

Because physical books are not selling well now, publishing books is much harder than before.

The agency decided to publish a book, and it also went through many processes.

One "Nineteen Years of Crime Record," one "Star Track," both were operated by Xu Xiaoyin two years ago, and only pushed to the market this year.

Liu Cheng thought, if "Star Track" could sell more than a thousand copies, the first-month sales would also look good.

After all, for such a new book, the agency only set the first printing at eight thousand copies.

"Fine, then go." Liu Cheng's gaze swept over Xu Mingyue, suddenly thinking of something, and said: "Take Xu Mingyue with you. She has been interning for a while, and you take her to do the marketing for the listing of 'Star Track'."

Xu Xiaoyin looked at Xu Mingyue and nodded.

Xu Mingyue's face showed surprise.

The two held a small meeting.

"Do you have a way to contact Lu Yan He?" Xu Xiaoyin asked Xu Mingyue.

Xu Mingyue shook her head and said: "You can try sending him a private message through his livestream account and social account."

Xu Xiaoyin pondered for a moment and said: "He is an artist, he should have an agency. Try contacting his agency?"

Xu Mingyue nodded, searched for the contact information of Star Entertainment Talent Agency on the internet, called it, and transferred to several phones.

"Ah?" Xu Mingyue was stunned.

Xu Xiaoyin heard Xu Mingyue's surprised "Ah?" and looked at her in confusion.

After Xu Mingyue hung up the phone, Xu Xiaoyin immediately asked: "What's wrong?"

Xu Mingyue was stunned and said: "Star Entertainment said he has already terminated the contract with them."

Xu Xiaoyin also showed surprise.

Most of the weather in June is sunny.

Lu Yan He was shopping in the mall with Li Pengfei. Originally, he was going to buy a laptop first, but Li Pengfei said that after buying it, he would have to hold it in his hand, which was a bit heavy. He should buy other things first, and then buy the laptop at the end.

"What else are you buying?" Lu Yan He asked.

Li Pengfei said: "Buy a suitcase for Xu Zijun. Last time the college entrance exam finished, she was carrying things in a bag, which was very hard to carry."

"Then you buy it and send it to her?" Lu Yan He asked curiously.

"Yeah, I'm preparing to learn to drive. My dad said he would give me a car. When the time comes, I'll drive and send it to her," Li Pengfei said. "If she attends university in Yuming, I can also send her to school."

Lu Yan He looked at Li Pengfei talking with excitement, couldn't help but be stunned, a bit surprised.

You look thick-browed and big-eyed, didn't expect you to be a filial boyfriend! ===== CHAPTER 147 =====
