Chapter 179: The Keyword is College Entrance Exam 657

~17 min read 3,277 words

Leaving MX to go solo was something Ma Zhiyuan had proposed long ago, but when the day of departure really arrived, Ma Zhiyuan also felt a bit reluctant in his heart.

After all, it was the group he had been in since he debuted.

It's just that this feeling of reluctance was suppressed by Ma Zhiyuan in the bottom of his heart, and nothing was shown.

He never showed vulnerability in front of others, and it was even more impossible to show attachment in front of them when he left.

"I'm leaving."

Ma Zhiyuan opened the door and left without looking back.

Neither Wei Zhuoran nor Qu Yousong expected Ma Zhiyuan to leave so decisively and resolutely, without any hesitation.

"It seems he really has no attachment to us at all," Qu Yousong said with a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth.

Wei Zhuoran looked back at Jiang Bai and Chen Jing who were still sitting on the sofa without moving.

He frowned slightly and said: "Ma Zhiyuan is leaving. Even if his relationship with you was average before, it hasn't reached the point where you don't even want to send him off, right?"

Chen Jing raised the corner of his mouth quite sarcastically.

In their eyes, Ma Zhiyuan's relationship with them could still be maintained at "average." In their eyes, did the things Ma Zhiyuan had done before not count for anything?

Chen Jing only looked at Jiang Bai unexpectedly.

On the contrary, why didn't Jiang Bai get up to send Ma Zhiyuan off either?

Jiang Bai and Ma Zhiyuan were truly average in the literal sense. It wouldn't have mattered to send him off for the sake of face.

Jiang Bai didn't say a word, got up, and returned to his room.

Wei Zhuoran's face looked even worse.

He said unhappily to Qu Yousong: "This Jiang Bai, always has a straight face, who of us let him down?"

Qu Yousong persuaded: "He has always been like that, don't worry about him."

His gaze turned to Chen Jing.

Chen Jing looked back at Qu Yousong with an unfriendly expression.

The people who bullied him in the past, besides Ma Zhiyuan, also included Qu Yousong.

Although Qu Yousong never actively did anything to him, every time it was him who burned Ma Zhiyuan's anger towards him.

Chen Jing stood up, looked at Qu Yousong with an unkind expression, and said: "Now Ma Zhiyuan is gone, our MX captain position is vacant. Next, will it be you or Wei Zhuoran to be this captain? Have you discussed it?"

He left this question behind and also returned to his room.

Leaving Qu Yousong and Wei Zhuoran looking at each other, neither of them spoke.

Lu Yan He felt he had overestimated himself.

Originally, he thought that two small cups of white wine in his stomach would only make his stomach burn a little, and he still had the heart to worry about Li Zhibai's family affairs and listen to the discussion about Ma Zhiyuan. He didn't expect that after fifteen minutes, the aftereffect would come up, and a sense of dizziness would rush to his eyes.

Others didn't notice his strangeness and were still talking.

Only Chen Ziyan discovered that Lu Yan He's eyes were not as clear as before. After observing carefully, she knew what the situation was.

Lu Yan He's aftereffect had come up, and he was a bit drunk.

Chen Ziyan wanted to take Lu Yan He back to rest quickly, but today they were treating Luo Yuzhong and the others to dinner, and everyone was talking enthusiastically and the atmosphere was lively. If Chen Ziyan proposed to take Lu Yan He away first at this time, it would be a bit of a buzzkill.

Lu Yan He himself also realized that he was a bit dizzy.

Is it a bit dizzy?

The dizziness struck, and Lu Yan He not only felt dizzy now, but also had a headache.

Fortunately, at this time, Jiang Yuqian said: "Director, we have to film tomorrow, so let's stop here tonight. I'm worried that if I sleep too late, I'll get acne on my face."

Luo Yuzhong nodded and said: "That's true, it's not early, let's stop here today, withdraw."

Lu Yan He tried his best to cheer up, stood up with everyone, and accompanied them to the back to go out.

Lei Shuangcheng had already arranged for a car to pick them up and send them back to the hotel.

Lu Yan He and Chen Ziyan were in the same car.

As soon as he got in the car, Chen Ziyan asked Lu Yan He: "How do you feel? Are you okay? Do you want to vomit?"

"It's okay," Lu Yan He denied habitually, and then said, "Just a bit dizzy."

You can tell the truth in front of Sister Ziyan.

Lu Yan He didn't want to be a person who hid everything in his heart. Here, there are a few people who can tell the truth and tell their true feelings, and Chen Ziyan is one of them.

Chen Ziyan: "I didn't expect you to be so unable to drink, why didn't you say anything?"

Drinking white wine, in a thumb-sized cup, totaling two cups, really didn't count for anything in Chen Ziyan's eyes, and she misjudged Lu Yan He's drinking capacity—she was fooled by Lu Yan He. Lu Yan He once told her that he would occasionally drink a little with Li Zhibai and Yan Liang, which made her misjudge that Lu Yan He was not a person who couldn't drink.

Lu Yan He said: "I overestimated myself, thinking I had practiced a little."

"Pay attention next time, try not to drink," Chen Ziyan said. "There is no work that must be drunk to be achieved."

Lu Yan He said hmm.

"Tell me directly if you can't do something next time, don't hold on, you know?" Chen Ziyan exhorted again.

"Okay."

Lu Yan He responded, but the corners of his mouth curled up.

Chen Ziyan's concern for him always gives him comfort in silence.

Returning to the hotel, Chen Ziyan told Lu Yan He to rest early and set an alarm, and they would set off for makeup at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

Lu Yan He hasn't filmed yet tomorrow. He has to go and set the styling in the play.

The main characters of the crew had already completed this step before, and only Lu Yan He was delayed until tomorrow because he was preparing for the exam at that time.

Lu Yan He returned to the room, washed his face with cold water, and finally woke up a little.

He was thinking about Li Zhibai's family affairs and opened his phone to check the chat records he had just missed.

Scanning through hundreds of records, there was not much valuable information updated.

It was just Li Zhibai and Yan Liang discussing various possibilities.

Lu Yan He thought about it and spoke in the group: Your parents will definitely not disappear for no reason. Even if the company really has an accident, they will not run away without telling you. You are their son, not an ordinary person. Don't be like last time, just because you are on an international flight, you lost contact. Do you have the contact information of the secretary or assistant around your parents? Ask them.

After five minutes, Li Zhibai said excitedly in the group: It really is! They are going to fly to the UK and are now on the plane. The acquisition is also true, but it has nothing to do with my family's bankruptcy. Fortunately, fortunately, my family didn't go bankrupt.

Lu Yan He breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Zhibai scared people with one sentence, causing him and Yan Liang to follow him in fear.

He said: I told you long ago, don't listen to the wind and rain.

Li Zhibai said: It is also Huanjin's shamelessness. In order to lower the acquisition price, they have been buying water armies to blacken my family's company for half a month.

Buying water armies to blacken people is not only the patent of the entertainment industry, but also the same in business wars.

The word smear was not created for the entertainment industry from the beginning.

Lu Yan He breathed a sigh of relief and said: Okay, it's best if nothing happens. I drank some wine tonight, and my head is too dizzy now, so I'll sleep first.

He closed his phone after saying this and prepared to sleep.

Therefore, he did not see the questioning and sarcasm of Li Zhibai and Yan Liang in the group for the first time.

Li Zhibai: Drinking?

Li Zhibai: How much did you drink?

Yan Liang: You can still hold on until now after drinking? Brother Bai, it's unreasonable for you not to send Old Lu a red envelope.

This sleep was incomparably long and hearty.

Lu Yan He even felt that he hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time.

He woke up at five in the morning, earlier than his usual wake-up time.

After getting up, he went to take a shower first, then opened his laptop and opened the live broadcast room.

At five in the morning, when he started broadcasting, thousands of people poured in, which shocked Lu Yan He.

And the audience in his live broadcast room was even more shocked, all asking what kind of incredible broadcast time this was for Lu Yan He.

Lu Yan He explained: "I slept relatively early yesterday and just woke up."

Although it was only five o'clock, the sky outside was not completely dark.

It was already a little white.

This is five o'clock in the morning in summer. In another half an hour, the sky will be bright and white, ushering in the sunrise.

Lu Yan He yawned, but he was awake.

He scratched his head and asked: "Why did you come to watch the live broadcast at this time?"

Messages flashed across the barrage.

Someone said that they were still working the night shift, and someone would take over at eight in the morning.

Someone said that they were reviewing all night, and there was an important exam the next day.

Someone said that they had just woken up, and Lu Yan He's broadcast notification popped up on their phone.

In short, in this world, no matter how quiet you think the night is, there are always people awake for various reasons.

Lu Yan He rubbed his face and said: "Okay, then everyone, please feel free. I will follow the old rules and mute it."

He muted the live broadcast room and started reading.

Chen Ziyan also woke up early, waking up at six o'clock. When she habitually checked her phone messages at 6:30 in the morning, she found Lu Yan He's live broadcast notification. Looking again, it was half an hour ago.

Get up so early?

Chen Ziyan was surprised.

Lu Yan He is still broadcasting.

Chen Ziyan clicked into Lu Yan He's live broadcast and saw that the latter was indeed reading.

Chen Ziyan was actually quite curious about Lu Yan He. Before choosing him as her artist, Chen Ziyan had done a very detailed background investigation on Lu Yan He.

In Chen Ziyan's view, before Lu Yan He's senior year of high school, every step was mostly luck.

Participating in the competition, accidentally hitting the public's psychology, producing a "pity the weak" mentality, crazily voting for him, and sending him into the debut position with strong public opinion.

But his own strength couldn't support such thick love, so after his debut, fans lost a lot—of course, this also had a lot to do with the decline of Fengzhi Youth.

Chen Ziyan couldn't see any place worth investing in Lu Yan He.

This is a person who can't stand up for himself.

However, after his senior year of high school, Lu Yan He seemed to have become a different person.

He took the initiative to open a live broadcast room.

He took the initiative to set the goals of Zhenhua and Yuming.

He wrote a song "Ji·Nian".

He began to have his own personality charm, attracting Hou Jun, Li Zhibai, Li Pengfei, Lin Yu and other colorful people to become his friends, and began to be willing to help him.

If a person can get up from his past life, this person will start to go uphill.

Chen Ziyan has always believed in this point.

After she contacted Lu Yan He, her understanding of Lu Yan He became deeper and deeper, but she was not surprised at all that Lu Yan He could be admitted to Zhenhua and Yuming.

People who invest 100% effort often fall into the dilemma of drilling into the horns, and are bound by stubbornness and extremism.

Lu Yan He, however, has always maintained a broad-minded openness, and his attitude towards life presents a broad-mindedness of "human affairs are in me, and fate follows the heart." This kind of temperament moved Chen Ziyan.

In the dinner party last night, Lu Yan He's performance was satisfactory, but it was the effect Chen Ziyan wanted most. Too cautious, unable to let go, this will make everyone feel embarrassed. Too enthusiastic, taking the initiative to talk to others, this is another kind of embarrassment. For Lu Yan He, the biggest significance of the dinner party last night was the word "appearance." When others were not familiar with him, he just played the role of "Chen Ziyan's artist" well.

Chen Ziyan didn't specifically explain these things, just wanted to observe how Lu Yan He's own temperament would do in such an occasion.

She is an agent, mastering the true temperament of the artist, so that she can prescribe the right medicine in the future.

At 7:30 in the morning, Chen Ziyan finished her video conference and sent a message to Lu Yan He: Is the live broadcast over? Let's go to breakfast together.

Lu Yan He replied with a good.

Chen Ziyan: See you in the restaurant.

Putting down the phone, Chen Ziyan tied up her hair.

Since the weather became hot, Chen Ziyan didn't like to let her hair down.

She went downstairs to the restaurant and met Lu Yan He in the restaurant.

"You got up quite early today, and started broadcasting so early," Chen Ziyan said.

Lu Yan He explained: "Woke up relatively early."

"A website talked to me about cooperation before, wanting to invite you to settle in their website and write reading notes," Chen Ziyan said. "You love reading yourself and have appeal in the book market, so I think this cooperation is quite suitable for you."

Lu Yan He was a bit surprised, nodded, and said: "Okay."

"But the remuneration is not much. People are originally a small website, not big, 100,000 yuan a year. The requirement is that you post dynamics on the website at least once a month and write five reading notes every year," Chen Ziyan said.

"Okay." Lu Yan He had no pressure on this, but he didn't expect that there was such a way of cooperation, feeling like he was going to go back on the route of reading bloggers.

"Then okay, I'll go and sign the contract," Chen Ziyan smiled. "Actually, this website is quite interesting. Although it is not very popular now, various community designs are quite literary, which should be very attractive to the group of literary youth."

Hearing Chen Ziyan's words, Lu Yan He suddenly thought of Douban.

Does this website sound like Douban?

In this world, there is no website like Douban, but there are specialized movie rating websites, which are also very popular.

Unlike Douban, specialized movie rating websites are really just rating websites, not built into an online community like Douban.

With the development of the internet era, the group of literary youth has slowly become a derogatory term with "literary youth disease."

However, anyone who really understands the development of the internet knows how much these people with "literary youth disease" have contributed to the development of online communities.

And how a website stands out from the increasingly homogenized internet world, the people in it, the style and atmosphere, are the most unique things that can preserve this website.

Isn't Douban like this?

Scoring websites, any capital can do it, but in the end only Douban stood up, its score has a certain reference, because generations of literary youth follow their own aesthetics to be "opinion leaders" on it, not following the laws of capital.

Literary youth is the group that capital hates most, because they are self-righteous and objectively hypocritical, and at the same time they have some culture and thinking, not so easy to be led by the nose, and once they find that they are led by the nose, they will be ashamed and angry and not play cards according to common sense.

Lu Yan He thought, does this world also need an online community similar to Douban?

I always felt that there might not be so many people with idealism now, but whenever I think it is about to go extinct, it will spark a little star fire, telling you that they are still there.

Lu Yan He thought of the fans in his live broadcast room.

Now they have even gathered a group of people, spontaneously established a reading group, followed him to start reading, and checked in every day.

"Check-in, plan, community, these are the three key concepts of our APP."

At the company meeting, Li Luzhi introduced this new product to the shareholders.

"Originally, I wanted to promote it in the first half of this year, but because several new settings were added halfway, it was postponed for half a year," Li Luzhi said. "This learning APP is ready to be pushed to the market in August this year."

The shareholders' reactions to Li Luzhi's introduction were different.

"Learning APP, where is the profit space?"

"Membership and advertising," Li Luzhi said.

"Since it is the concept of building a community, the student group facing it will not be elementary school students, right?"

"Of course, it is facing high school and college students," Li Luzhi said. "According to our investigation, a phenomenon has appeared among high school and college students now. Because of their loneliness or laziness, they need company to study and supervise self-study, just like Lu Yan He's live broadcast room. I don't know if anyone here knows? His live broadcast room has no chat, no performance, most of the time he is reading books and doing questions by himself, but the number of viewers in his live broadcast room is increasing. In fact, about 70% of the viewers in his live broadcast room use him as their companion object, opening the live broadcast to accompany themselves to study or read."

The shareholders whispered and discussed.

"And I also plan to invite Lu Yan He to be our spokesperson for this learning APP," Li Luzhi said. "A learning APP with an active community concept is a new product that satisfies the blank space of high school and college students' needs now."

"But... Lu Yan He is not very popular, right? Can he improve the popularity of our APP as a spokesperson?" Someone questioned.

"Lu Yan He's college entrance examination score this year is 657, ranking 13th in Yuming, and he can definitely be admitted to Zhenhua and Yuming," Li Luzhi said. "Compared to whether he is popular or not, his resume is the key keyword for the spokesperson we need for this APP." ===== CHAPTER 180 =====
