Chapter 156

At noon, the sky garden on the fourteenth floor was quite crowded.

It was a small garden that could seat about fifty people, and it looked like basically every table was occupied.

When Lu Yan He appeared, he drew some sidelong glances.

Although one often saw celebrities and artists at this company, Lu Yan He was the center of public opinion these past few days, and everyone was curious about what kind of divine figure he was to be picked by Chen Ziyan.

Lu Yan He looked up and soon found Lin Miaomiao.

She was wearing a white long dress and was waving at him.

Lu Yan He walked toward her.

"Why are you here?" Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he pulled out the chair opposite Lin Miaomiao and sat down.

Lin Miaomiao said, "My dad came to your company to discuss business with your boss, so I tagged along."

Lin Miaomiao's expression was a bit displeased, but she still nodded in cooperation and said, "Fine. Who is this Vice Ma Zong in your company? He's got quite an attitude. He wants to clear everyone out just because he wants to use this place. Even my dad isn't that overbearing."

An embarrassed look appeared on Vice Ma Zong's face.

Once just an ordinary agent, he had now become a middle-level manager with a say.

Lin Miaomiao said, "I took leave. I haven't been feeling well these past few days."

This was all because of Chen Ziyan. Chen Ziyan was the nightmare of every agent at Star Entertainment. With her there, it was like a great mountain standing before them; no matter how well they did, they could never cross that mountain.

He had brought Lin Desheng over specifically to negotiate a framework agreement with Northern Lights Video to secure more resources for his company's artists. Just think about how many programs Northern Lights Video produced each year and how many film and television productions they participated in. Many agencies wanted to negotiate framework agreements with video platforms precisely for this reason; if they could sign a partnership at the company level, they wouldn't need the people below to negotiate one by one, and the scale of the cooperation would be on a completely different level.

In this internet age, the people on the scene were watching with their eyes while not forgetting to sneak a few photos to send to their colleague group chats to gossip.

Vice Ma Zong was ten thousand times unwilling in his heart, but at this moment, he could only smile and agree.

"Don't you have classes?" Lu Yan He asked with some surprise.

Lu Yan He looked at Lin Miaomiao in astonishment; he couldn't see any signs of this girl being unwell at all.

Lu Yan He did not answer and glanced at the young man in the suit.

He was in charge of artist management at Star Entertainment. What made Star Entertainment different from other agencies was that they had too many young artists; people in the industry said they were "raising poisonous insects," and the quantity was evident.

Lin Miaomiao asked, "Have you estimated your score?"

That person still had a smile on his face and said nothing.

Lin Suyang walked into the company, and many people greeted him; he responded with a faint expression.

"What are you chatting about?" Lin Miaomiao snorted at this moment. "Just now, Lu Yan He and I were chatting happily in that little garden when we were suddenly chased away by someone saying Vice Ma Zong wanted to use it and telling us to find somewhere else. Forget it, forget it, you guys chat."

"Next Thursday?" Lin Miaomiao nodded. "That's soon."

Because MX, the group he managed, was a huge hit, Lin Suyang's status in the company was rising day by day.

How to get the company's artists more exposure was a problem Vice Ma Zong had been worrying about in recent years.

"Does that mean you won't be in Yuming in July?" Lin Miaomiao asked.

"Why didn't you estimate your score?" Lin Miaomiao said. "This way, you don't even know roughly how much you scored."

Lin Miaomiao?

This name made Lin Suyang fall into deep thought.

"I came to see a friend." Lin Miaomiao pointed at Lu Yan He. "There, it's him, Lu Yan He."

As a result, the two of them had just come out of the sky garden when they ran into Vice Ma Zong and his group.

Lin Desheng examined Lu Yan He carefully, nodded, and said, "Since we ran into each other, Vice Ma Zong, shall we chat together? I even saw your company's Lu Yan He in the news a while ago; the officials have praised him quite a bit."

As they were talking, a young man in a suit suddenly came over, said something to the group of people sitting at the table in front of them, and then those people got up and left.

"Otherwise, why would he suddenly be picked by Chen Ziyan? I heard that Lu Yan He was originally required by the company to terminate his contract, and his original agent, Zhou Ping'an, had even signed a termination agreement with him."

People are always superstitious about successful experiences. But it cannot be denied that the artists Chen Ziyan brought out were so brilliant that no one could ignore the newcomers she picked. Lin Suyang was the same.

Just now, during the negotiation, Lin Desheng had mentioned Lu Yan He's name, saying that cooperation was no problem, but it needed a foundation—for example, Lu Yan He. If they cooperated, they would sign for five dramas and three variety shows in one go. To put it bluntly, he was optimistic about Lu Yan He's future development trend, so he was betting on Lu Yan He.

While the two of them were talking, the people around them were also exchanging glances.

"Really, the termination agreement was even sent to the Human Resources Department, but then Chen Ziyan brought a new contract and sent it over. You must not have been paying attention to the company's official website; Lu Yan He's name had been deleted by the company before."

This kind of talk made Lin Suyang sneer, but he also took it to heart. If Lu Yan He and Tu Song really surpassed MX, could MX's status in the company still be the unique one it was now?

Lu Yan He wasn't not anxious, but because he had experienced the process of waiting for scores once, he was more confident this time. Even if he couldn't get into Zhenhua or Yuming, his score would definitely be enough to get into a decent university; he had a bottom line in his heart.

"Wow!"

The name Lu Yan He had appeared in his ears too frequently recently.

Under these circumstances, how could Lin Miaomiao not guess that the person beside her father was Vice Ma Zong?

Everyone was curious: was Lu Yan He dating someone? Or was it something ambiguous?

In short, once matters between men and women reached other people's mouths, it was like dropping a drop of water into a hot oil pan—it hissed instantly and splattered high.

After Lin Suyang returned to his office, he immediately found someone to inquire about the matter between Lu Yan He and Lin Miaomiao.

All in all, the number of times Lu Yan He and Lin Miaomiao had met was only four.

Lu Yan He nodded and said, "Yes, it seems I have to go to another place to film at that time; it won't be filmed in Yuming."

Immediately after, the young man in the suit came to their side.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman sitting together was a beautiful landscape.

Lu Yan He was about to take Lin Miaomiao aside when he heard Lin Miaomiao call out, "Dad."

Lu Yan He said, "Next Thursday."

Following the conversation between the father and daughter, Lin Miaomiao and Lin Desheng, the eyes of the people around them fell on Lu Yan He with a hint of disbelief.

Among so many people, the most shocked was Vice Ma Zong.

She glared at Lu Yan He with feigned anger and said, "I'm already better; I'm going to school this afternoon."

"The exams are already over. Anyway, it's just my normal level of performance; I'll know when the scores come out," Lu Yan He said.

He looked at Lin Miaomiao and said, "How about we find a place inside the building?"

Although he had no evidence, he felt that Lin Miaomiao was doing it on purpose.

"Two, could you please change places?" this person said to them. "Vice Ma Zong will be using this area in a while."

Lin Miaomiao was looking exactly at the man whom Vice Ma Zong was enthusiastically welcoming by his side.

She had an expression of not knowing who Vice Ma Zong was at all, complaining with dissatisfaction.

Watched by everyone, Lu Yan He called out generously, "Hello, Mr. Lin."

It seemed that no matter where he went, he would hear this name.

Seeing Lin Miaomiao, Lin Desheng immediately said, "I was wondering where you ran off to. Why did you run here? Didn't we agree before that you would stay by my side?"

"Yeah, just finished eating."

Lin Miaomiao asked, "When will the college entrance exam results come out? Do you know?"

But Lin Miaomiao seemed to be exceptionally familiar with Lu Yan He's affairs.

MX was a huge hit last year, and until this year, the trend of this huge hit showed no signs of decline.

But now, there were already people in the company saying that sooner or later, Tu Song and Lu Yan He would surpass MX and become the company's hottest male artists.

Today, he had finally invited Lin Desheng over to discuss a very important cooperation.

Lin Miaomiao understood Lu Yan He's thoughts at a glance.

"No."

Subsequently, someone recognized: Isn't this the daughter of the boss of Northern Lights Video? Mr. Lin is still in our company now.

"Brother Yang, just finished eating?"

Lin Suyang walked into the elevator and heard the little girl next to him discussing Lu Yan He.

Lu Yan He had searched for him online and recognized him at a glance: Lin Desheng of the Northern Lights Video platform.

Lin Miaomiao looked at him thoughtfully and said, "I've discovered that you are really calm. Others are more anxious about these things than you are."

"... No wonder he was suddenly picked by Chen Ziyan. Was it because of Lin Miaomiao?"

Lu Yan He was a bit surprised upon hearing this.

"Yeah, it's soon," Lu Yan He said.

Vice Ma Zong was still muttering in his heart: how would Lin Desheng, a big boss, know Lu Yan He's name? Now that he knew, it turned out it was because he had a daughter who knew Lu Yan He.

Lu Yan He had witnessed Lin Miaomiao's little temper before.

Lu Yan He looked at Lin Miaomiao in surprise.

Actually, whether Lin Miaomiao went to school or not was none of his business; he just said it casually, but Lin Miaomiao seemed to care very much about his opinion, so he had to put away his surprise and nodded.

Whether it was the live streaming exchange activity with the two writers, Liu Jiazhen and Ming Yin, or the filming he had to join later, Lin Miaomiao was very clear about it.

Lu Yan He: "..."

But she was also a very clever and smart girl.

"Really?"

"Oh, Miaomiao, Uncle Ma has to apologize to you." Vice Ma Zong's waist bent as soon as he said it. He said, "I have something to discuss with your father, and I just happened to see this garden and thought about chatting here; the environment is more comfortable. I didn't expect to disturb you."

Lin Desheng sighed and said, "My daughter is just spoiled by me. Vice Ma Zong, please don't mind."

He turned to look at Lu Yan He. "Little Lu, since I'm chatting with Vice Ma Zong about cooperation and we happened to mention you, why don't we sit together and have a good chat?"
