Chapter 236: Wanting to Leave

As soon as Meng Li spoke, everyone was stunned. For a moment, it was awkward, and no one knew what to say.

Especially Peng Zhixing, the expression on his face was the most awkward.

Lu Yan He frowned slightly and couldn't help but speak, saying: "Self-introduction is also quite good. We may know each other, and we have seen each other's news on the Internet, but not everyone knows each other very well. I quite hope to understand everyone as soon as possible through this way."

Yan Liang also nodded and said: "I also think it's okay."

Meng Li shrugged, "Then whatever you want."

Meng Li's attitude... was too disappointing.

Lu Yan He didn't understand why Meng Li wanted to put on such a posture.

Everyone came to record the program together, and they weren't very familiar friends. Everyone cooperated to record the program and do the work well. Why did she have to put on this appearance?

It was as if everyone owed her money.

Qin Zhibai suddenly raised his hand.

His action of raising his hand expressionlessly made everyone stunned for no reason.

He opened his mouth and said: "I am a singer, but you probably haven't heard me sing much. After all, I'm not very popular. I'll have a chance to sing for you."

A group of people was stunned first, then looked at each other, and Song Lin Xin laughed first.

"Sorry, the way you introduced yourself expressionlessly and seriously is too funny." Song Lin Xin put her hands together, making an apology.

Qin Zhibai shrugged and said: "Used to it."

He was still in that tone without much emotion.

However, after this dialogue between Qin Zhibai and Song Lin Xin, the atmosphere at the dinner table finally eased a lot, not as awkward and tense as before.

Lu Yan He also learned from Qin Zhibai's appearance, raised his hand, and said: "I am Lu Yan He, hmm, singing, and acting, but both are still beginners."

Song Lin Xin immediately said: "Why are you so humble? You clearly know how to write songs. Isn't *Memory* written by you?"

Xiao Yun's eyes lit up, and she asked shockingly: "Is *Memory* written by you?"

Lu Yan He nodded.

Xiao Yun said excitedly: "I love this song so much!"

"I only wrote this one." Lu Yan He said very embarrassedly.

"Many people can't write such a popular song in their whole life." Qin Zhibai said suddenly.

"Yes." Song Lin Xin nodded, "Look at how many songs I wrote and how many songs I sang, the performance everyone knows me for is still the time I sang *Memory*."

Lu Yan He was so praised that he was a bit embarrassed, lowered his head and smiled.

"Do you have any other songs written?" Qin Zhibai asked suddenly.

"I don't have any for now." Lu Yan He shook his head.

Qin Zhibai: "You are very talented in writing songs. You should write more songs."

Lu Yan He felt very embarrassed, smiled, and said okay.

Starting with Qin Zhibai and Lu Yan He, everyone else introduced themselves with a little less seriousness, and they all simply introduced what they did first.

In fact, everyone knew what each other did, but saying it like this gave them topics.

Many topics were derived.

For example, about Li Zhibai's transformation into an actor, everyone was praising, especially the two girls, Song Lin Xin and Xiao Yun. They both liked the character Li Zhibai played in *Accompany You to the End of the World* very much, and they laughed together when they mentioned it.

"I really can't stop laughing every time I see you appear." Xiao Yun said to Li Zhibai.

Li Zhibai also smiled.

"Zhibai is playing himself." Peng Zhixing said with a smile, "I also watched this drama, and I feel that I can see Zhibai's real appearance in private in many places."

Li Zhibai shook his head, "I don't admit that. I'm not that crazy."

"Hahahahaha." Song Lin Xin covered her mouth and smiled.

Lu Yan He and Yan Liang also looked at each other and smiled.

Peng Zhixing saw this and said: "Lu Yan He and Yan Liang seem to have something to say about Zhibai's words just now."

"I don't." Lu Yan He waved his hand immediately, "Brother Bai is not playing himself."

He had a righteous look, but at the same time, he was also using his expression to indicate to everyone: "That's right, he is playing himself, it's just because Li Zhibai is on the scene that I say these insincere words."

Everyone saw his expression and laughed even harder.

"Yan He also acted in Luo Dao Yuzhong's new drama not long ago, right?" Peng Zhixing looked at Lu Yan He.

Lu Yan He nodded.

Others showed a surprised expression.

Although the news had been public for a long time, some people still didn't know and just found out.

As one of the three major TV drama directors in the country, Luo Yuzhong's fame was so great that anyone who knew about the film and television industry had heard his name, and naturally knew the weight of this.

"Very powerful. In the past, few idol artists could directly participate in Luo Dao Yuzhong's drama. How did you do it?" Peng Zhixing asked.

Lu Yan He said with a smile: "It was recommended by Sister Yuqian. She is in the same company as me. She said it was because she saw me wearing a school uniform during an interview, and I wasn't wearing makeup at the time, just a typical student look. She felt my image was very suitable for that role. By chance, I got this role."

"You are too humble, and by chance." Li Zhibai immediately pointed at Lu Yan He and said, "Luo Dao Yuzhong didn't just pick him at a glance and think he was the only one. Luo Dao specifically ran to our company to hold an audition. Hundreds of male artists in our company participated in the audition. The role he finally got, his strength is very strong. Actually, if it weren't for this audition, I wouldn't dare to act in *Accompany You to the End of the World*."

"Hmm? How so?" Peng Zhixing asked.

"Although Luo Dao didn't pick me, he praised me a lot." Li Zhibai had a proud and triumphant look, and also a bit arrogant, "You didn't hear how Luo Dao praised me, tsk."

"No matter how much he praised you, didn't he still choose Lu Yan He in the end?" Meng Li suddenly opened her mouth.

A basin of cold water poured down.

The atmosphere that had finally become lively was again input with a cold air by Meng Li.

Li Zhibai glanced at her and subconsciously wanted to retort, but facing Meng Li, he was a bit guilty and couldn't retort.

It was Lu Yan He who said: "Meng Li, you are a professional actor, you must understand. Luo Dao also said that picking actors is never picking the one with the best acting skills, but the one most suitable for the role."

Meng Li looked at Lu Yan He unexpectedly, smiled, and said: "Luo Dao is of course right, but I wasn't talking to you."

Lu Yan He was stunned.

Meng Li: "You are amazing, acting in Luo Dao's play, unlike us, who have worked hard for several years, and haven't even seen Luo Dao's face. It's better to be an idol artist, with popularity, with opportunities, it's really enviable."

These words were almost a naked sarcasm placed on the table.

Several other people looked at each other.

Li Zhibai frowned and looked at Meng Li: "Did idol artists offend you?"

"What kind of temper are you throwing? I haven't talked about you yet, and you dare to choke me?" Meng Li's eyes slanted towards Li Zhibai.

"I let you say whatever you want. I offended you, Lu Yan He offended you, what kind of attitude is this?" Li Zhibai's tone already carried anger.

Meng Li: "What kind of attitude are you talking about? How come I don't know my attitude is a problem?"

Lu Yan He held Li Zhibai's arm and said: "It's okay, everyone has everyone's attitude. This is our first time meeting, and this is our first meal. No matter what, the program is still recording. Don't put these things on this table to say. What do you think? Or, Meng Li, do you think it doesn't matter if everyone knows the cause and effect?"

Meng Li looked at Lu Yan He with disgust and said: "What are you insinuating? What do I dare not let everyone know?"

Lu Yan He: "I'm not insinuating anything. I just want to say that the audience has no obligation to watch us argue here. We just met, and we are arguing upside down, and the audience is confused. We should still be responsible for the audience. If you think my attitude is wrong, I apologize to you. My intention was not to insinuate anything about you. I just think no matter what, the program team invited us, and we can try our best to record the program to the best."

In the next room, which was also a private room, it was temporarily requisitioned as the director team's workroom.

Li Zhenzhen and the others saw this scene on the screen and were all dumbfounded.

Indeed, this was a situation no one expected.

How come they just ate the first meal, and Meng Li had such a fierce conflict with Li Zhibai and Lu Yan He?

It's not hard to see that there is a significant conflict between them.

It's just that no one knows what the conflict is now.

The PDs in charge of several people looked at each other and asked: "Should we intervene? The atmosphere is a bit scary now."

"Wait and see." Li Zhenzhen said.

Chen Biqiu sat behind Li Zhenzhen, calmly crossing his arms in front of his chest, not in a hurry at all.

A variety show veteran seeing such a scene expressed satisfaction.

At the same time, at Star Entertainment.

Zhou Ping'an was on the phone with Meng Li's agent.

"Sister Xia, let's keep our cooperation between you and me." He laughed magically, "If that kid Li Zhibai finds out, he'll probably make trouble with me again."

Li Xia said: "Rest assured, it's quite good that our cooperation this time can stir up the topic. Originally, if recording a program is just 'you are good, I am good, everyone is good', then it's boring, who would watch it? Meng Li is usually a character whose eyes are on the sky, it's good to kill her arrogance."

Zhou Ping'an said: "Otherwise, I wouldn't always say that I have the most compatible temper with you. If it were another agent, they would definitely be afraid of affecting the artist's reputation, afraid of being scolded by the audience, etc. Only you and I understand that there is nothing to be afraid of being scolded or not. No popularity is the most terrible. In this day and age, traffic is king. Platforms look at traffic, business looks at traffic, everything looks at traffic. Not being popular is the original sin."

"Exactly." Li Xia nodded.

After hanging up the phone, the corner of Zhou Ping'an's mouth curled up slightly.

After Li Zhibai asked him for help and told him the cause and effect, Zhou Ping'an had a headache for a while, and then thought of making a mistake, finding Meng Li's agent Li Xia, and deciding to simply borrow this matter to stir up a wave of topics.

Li Xia was not happy at first, but later she didn't know how she agreed. After another chat, both of them were going to record *Young Days*, so they knew the opportunity to stir up topics had come.

The two of them designed a series of topic stories.

They could stir it up for a year or a half.

Zhou Ping'an didn't tell Li Zhibai about this, because Li Zhibai definitely wouldn't cooperate.

But Zhou Ping'an didn't need Li Zhibai to cooperate either.

Zhou Ping'an could figure out what reaction he would have with his toes, as long as he designed around Li Zhibai's reaction.

What Zhou Ping'an didn't expect was Li Xia's attitude.

Li Xia really didn't care about the impact on Meng Li after this matter was exposed—after all, being late for filming is indeed a damage to the image for an actor. Zhou Ping'an had thought of many reasons to persuade Li Xia to accept this matter, but Li Xia didn't need these reasons to persuade her at all and accepted it immediately.

Zhou Ping'an thought about it and guessed that it was probably because after Meng Li became a little popular in *Accompany You to the End of the World*, her attitude towards Li Xia changed, and her thoughts became bigger. Li Xia was taking this opportunity to knock Meng Li at the same time.

Just as Zhou Ping'an was thinking this, his phone suddenly rang again.

The person calling was Li Zhibai himself.

"I'm not recording anymore. You come over and communicate clearly with the program team. I'll leave in a while." Li Zhibai said with a bad tone.

Zhou Ping'an was stunned.

"Everything is fine, why do you suddenly say you won't record if you don't record?"

"Do you know that Meng Li also participated in this program?"

"Ah?" Zhou Ping'an started acting, "How did she also participate in this program?"

"Stop acting. The director team might hide from us who the artists participating in the recording are, but how could they hide from you!" Li Zhibai said coldly, "I'm too lazy to talk to you more. You come over and deal with this matter immediately, otherwise, I don't know what this matter will become in the end."

After Li Zhibai finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Zhou Ping'an was dumbfounded.

He knew that Li Zhibai would have a big opinion about seeing Meng Li, but he didn't expect the opinion to be so big.

Wanting to leave directly?

Not to that extent, right?

Zhou Ping'an quickly contacted the director team.

Li Zhenzhen's tone revealed a feeling that was hard to describe, saying: "You come over. They ate together at noon, and Meng Li had a direct conflict with Li Zhibai and Lu Yan He. Now they have parted on bad terms."

Li Zhenzhen's voice revealed exhaustion.

Zhou Ping'an couldn't care about stirring up topics anymore and hurried to the program recording site.

Lu Yan He, Li Zhibai, and Yan Liang sat in Li Zhibai's room.

Li Zhibai was packing his suitcase.

He really wanted to leave, and this posture was not acting.

The people from the director team were all panicked. Li Zhenzhen ran over personally to persuade: "Your agent will be here soon. Zhibai, calm down first, don't be anxious. If there is anything, let's talk about it properly, okay?"

Li Zhibai looked at Li Zhenzhen impatiently and said: "You said every guest was chosen by you. How did you choose someone with a sick brain like Meng Li? I'm convinced."

Li Zhenzhen took a deep breath. Of course, it was hard to explain that when choosing people, you couldn't choose everyone with a good personality.

Just at this time, something suddenly sounded in Li Zhenzhen's headset. She was stunned, and her face changed, "What? She wants to leave too?" ===== CHAPTER 237 =====
