Chapter 154

This world is quite small sometimes; to be able to run into each other like this, Lu Yan He didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

In the morning, Zhang Ming took Lu Yan He to class again, still talking about acting, talking about the greatness of different actors.

Lu Yan He knew the intention behind Chen Ziyan arranging this class for him, so he listened carefully, just automatically putting some of Zhang Ming's personal opinions aside and listening with discretion.

Zhang Ming is a person with high aspirations; you can tell just by listening to him talk.

There's probably a bit of the feeling of being a talent unrecognized.

After the morning class ended, Lu Yan He sent Zhang Ming to the elevator and returned to the rehearsal room, asking in the small group with Li Zhibai and Yan Liang: Are you guys at the company?

It turned out that neither of them came to the company today.

Yan Liang said: Li Zhibai is playing games, and that director has been playing games with Li Zhibai the whole time.

Lu Yan He: They've been playing games all morning?

Yan Liang: Almost two hours.

Lu Yan He: Alright then, I was going to have lunch together if any of you were at the company, but I'll go eat by myself.

Putting down his phone, Lu Yan He got up and left.

Because he had to come back for He Shuyi's class in the afternoon, Lu Yan He didn't lock the door.

Anyway, there was nothing in the rehearsal room, nothing worth locking.

Downstairs, Lu Yan He ran into Tu Song.

He was coming out of another elevator.

"Going to eat?"

"Yeah."

"Together?"

"Sure."

The two paired up.

Lu Yan He had also become Chen Ziyan's artist; Tu Song had only just found out about this recently.

Tu Song hadn't even had a proper chat with Lu Yan He about this yet.

He was actually quite curious and wanted to know when Lu Yan He had gotten in touch with Chen Ziyan.

Over the past six months, Chen Ziyan had signed three people.

Lu Yan He was the last one.

Tu Song was the only singer among the three.

After leaving the company, Tu Song asked in a low voice: "Yan He, when did you and Sister Ziyan start talking? How come not a single word leaked out? I asked Sister Ziyan several times who else she was planning to sign, and she refused to say."

Lu Yan He smiled and said: "We started talking a long time ago, but the formal signing of the contract was after the college entrance exam. Before it was finalized, it wasn't easy to tell everyone."

"That's true." Tu Song nodded. "Then you should be able to feel how uncomfortable it is to be envied by many people now, right? Every time I appear in the company, some people look at me with jealous eyes, as if I just got lucky, although... I also feel like I got lucky."

Tu Song smiled honestly.

Lu Yan He: "Being chosen by Sister Ziyan is indeed luck. There are so many artists in the company; who else would she pick if not them?"

"You can't say it like that; it's still being chosen by Sister Ziyan." Tu Song puffed out his chest. "Although I don't know what I'm better at than others, being chosen by Sister Ziyan must mean there are some things I'm better at than others."

Lu Yan He laughed and nodded.

Tu Song is also a very interesting person.

Usually quiet, a bit stubborn, and his way of doing things and talking isn't as sophisticated as Yan Liang's, who knows how to read the room.

But he himself is a very generous person, dares to say anything, and doesn't play mind games with you.

Lu Yan He didn't interact with him much, but every time they met, besides feeling that he sometimes didn't do things according to common sense, he didn't find anything bad about him.

The two still went to that restaurant near the company.

"I'll have the green pepper stir-fried eggplant and the oil-popped chicken." Tu Song ordered what he wanted to eat first, then gave the menu to Lu Yan He. "See what you want to eat."

Lu Yan He thought, there were only two of them eating, one more dish would be enough. The two dishes Tu Song ordered were both heavy on oil and spice, so he ordered a loofah, which was light.

Tu Song ordered the food and then smiled and talked about learning to sing.

"I'm learning to sing with a teacher every day now, and Sister Ziyan also asked me to take the exam for a music academy next year."

"That's great. You wanted to be a singer anyway; going to a music academy to learn seriously will make your basic skills more solid."

"Yeah." Tu Song nodded. "Sister Ziyan still cares a lot about our basic skills. You're also in class today, right?"

"Yeah."

"Wen Minglan was also assigned classes." Tu Song chuckled. "Everyone is in class."

This was the first time Lu Yan He had heard of this.

This really surprised him.

An agent brings in three newcomers, and the first thing she does is arrange for them to take classes.

Lu Yan He hadn't heard of any other agent doing this.

Sharpening the knife won't delay the work of cutting wood. Everyone knows this truth, but it's rare to see someone like Chen Ziyan practice it to the end.

"Look at MX, although they are very popular now, they are rushing to appearances every day. Yesterday, Ma Zhiyuan made a big fool of himself." Tu Song said.

"What fool did he make of himself?" Lu Yan He asked.

He didn't know.

Yesterday he even ran into Ma Zhiyuan at the company, with a moody face, like dark clouds pressing down on the city.

Tu Song: "Last night they participated in a livestream event together, and Ma Zhiyuan even mispronounced the brand's name."

The brand name was an English name; Ma Zhiyuan didn't recognize it and didn't know how to read it.

Lu Yan He didn't see this news.

"Many people on the internet said Ma Zhiyuan is uncultured and can't even read simple English." Tu Song said. "Actually, that brand name isn't very obscure. Even if you don't recognize it, you can probably read it by looking at the letter combination. Vecinne, he read it as 'Wei Ci Ni'. No wonder everyone is mocking him."

"Is Ma Zhiyuan's English not good?"

"He didn't even finish high school; how could his English be good?" Tu Song said with some disdain. "Usually he acts like a jerk; I don't know how many times he's crashed. This time, not reading the brand name correctly and not preparing in advance is one thing, but as a singer, last time he couldn't even read the sheet music when asked to look at it. He's simply a fool."

Although Lu Yan He knew Tu Song wasn't insinuating anything about him, he still felt like he had been shot in the knee.

Didn't the person who couldn't read sheet music include him?

Lu Yan He didn't expect Tu Song to have such a big opinion of Ma Zhiyuan.

"But you can't stop people from being popular." Lu Yan He was worried that Tu Song would have such a big opinion of Ma Zhiyuan in front of others, and if it spread, it wouldn't be good for Tu Song, so he reminded him, "Now that they are at the height of their popularity, don't say these things. There's always a reason for popularity."

"Isn't it just that he can dance? If he's so good at dancing, he should go be a professional dancer." Tu Song pouted.

It seemed that Tu Song's prejudice against Ma Zhiyuan was deeper than usual.

This made Lu Yan He a bit surprised, so he asked: "Do you have any conflict with Ma Zhiyuan?"

Tu Song simply said "Yeah" and said: "He mocked me before, saying that wanting to be a singer was a daydream, and also said my voice was ugly and no one would like to hear me sing."

To be honest, saying Tu Song's voice wasn't good and no one liked to hear him sing was really nonsense.

At Fengzhi, although Tu Song's popularity wasn't high, it was recognized that he sang well.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been thinking about releasing a single himself.

Ma Zhiyuan saying such things to Tu Song was clearly intended to disgust him.

Lu Yan He already looked down on Ma Zhiyuan's arrogant and smug face, and after hearing what Tu Song said, he understood why Tu Song had such great hostility toward Ma Zhiyuan.

To put it bluntly, this was provoked by Ma Zhiyuan's own foul mouth.

Tu Song's personality is relatively introverted, and he doesn't take the initiative to interact with people. Lu Yan He knows him to some extent and knows that Tu Song would definitely not take the initiative to provoke Ma Zhiyuan.

Then what was going on with Ma Zhiyuan, suddenly opening fire on Tu Song?

Lu Yan He asked.

Tu Song said: "It was because one time I was testing a song in the recording studio, and I ran into him. He insisted on using the recording studio half an hour early, even though I had already booked the time, and his booked time was half an hour later. He insisted on kicking me out and then said those things."

"This person is quite disgusting." Lu Yan He pouted.

This style is too petty.

As the two were talking, the boss came to serve them their food.

The two continued to eat and chat.

Suddenly someone pushed the door and came in.

The person who came was Ma Zhiyuan.

Ma Zhiyuan had a dark face, wore a baseball cap, and walked in looking unhappy. He was alone.

Lu Yan He and Tu Song looked at each other, both a bit surprised.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

Ma Zhiyuan didn't even look in their direction, walked straight to another direction, and sat down.

"What's wrong with him again?" Tu Song asked in a low voice, "A dark face."

Lu Yan He took out his phone and searched for Ma Zhiyuan's name online.

Searches are very smart now; as soon as Ma Zhiyuan's name was entered, the related terms jumped out.

——Ma Zhiyuan mocks Tang Qi for not knowing how to use Western tableware.

?

Lu Yan He clicked in and found that the topic was started by an entertainment marketing account. It posted a video, and the accompanying text wrote: "What kind of quality do idols have now? Openly mocking and despising others in a show for not knowing how to use Western tableware. Not everyone is born in Rome. Tang Qi, don't mind it. Tableware is just tableware; you can use it however you want. Don't be kidnapped by such people. Keep working hard. When you become famous, even if you eat pasta with chopsticks, others will only say you have your own style."

He muted his phone and opened the video. The video wasn't long, only one minute. It was actually Ma Zhiyuan participating in a show. In the show, there was a segment where they ate Western food and chatted together. But because Tang Qi didn't know how to use a knife and fork and didn't use them in the conventional way, after someone pointed it out, while a look of shame appeared on Tang Qi's face, a look of mockery also appeared on Ma Zhiyuan's face, looking down on Tang Qi a bit.

Lu Yan He forwarded it to Tu Song.

After Tu Song finished watching, he didn't seem surprised at all, pouted, and returned the phone to Lu Yan He.

At this time, someone else came in.

It was the other two people from MX, Wei Zhuoran and Qu Yousong.

"Old Ma, stop hanging your face. It's just a small matter; everyone will discuss it for a few days and it will pass." Wei Zhuoran shouted as he pushed the door open, and after finishing, he saw Lu Yan He and Tu Song in the restaurant.

His voice paused, he looked at them, and then he let out a "heh."
