Chapter 468: The Strange Envelope

Immediately, marketing accounts popped up.

In matters that cause huge public opinion and discussion, marketing accounts are never absent.

Lu Yanhe didn't expect that this matter would actually be held onto by a part of his fans, forcing Ceng Qiao to give up this first lead position.

They didn't care at all about the attitude Lu Yanhe had already expressed, acting on their own initiative, insisting on their own attitude, under the banner of being good for Lu Yanhe and fighting for Lu Yanhe's interests, recklessly and unreasonably making a scene.

Lu Yanhe really felt uncomfortable at this moment.

These were not opponents deliberately smearing him, but fans who truly liked him.

Lu Yanhe couldn't understand why they could really ignore his true thoughts and feelings and self-righteously represent him to say some things and do some things?

When Lu Yanhe himself felt that his career was soaring like the wind, this matter gave him a blow to the head.

The worst thing is that Lu Yanhe didn't even know how to solve this matter.

Lu Yanhe couldn't speak out again and again for this matter. The more he spoke, the crazier those radical fans became, as if they were deliberately going against Lu Yanhe.

"Currently, we can only lower the heat first and handle it coldly." Chen Ziyan said to Lu Yanhe.

"Um." Lu Yanhe nodded.

However, no one expected that Maxine would suddenly change the order of the signatures in every one of their promotional messages at this time.

Lu Yanhe's name appeared before Ceng Qiao's name.

For a time, this matter immediately hit the hot search.

Lu Yanhe's radical fans saw this scene and also questioned Bingyuan Video and the domestic *River of Silence* official blog in a posture that their battle had achieved phased victory: Are you still not changing it?

Lu Yanhe took a deep breath, called Zhong Benshuo, and asked why Maxine suddenly made the change in the order of signatures.

At such a critical moment, Lu Yanhe didn't think Maxine's change was an unintentional coincidence.

Zhong Benshuo said directly: "Because on our Maxine platform, your popularity and fans are much more than Ceng Qiao's. This is out of consideration for promotion."

"Did you communicate with director Chen Lingling and the others about making such a change?"

"We at Maxine are the producers of this drama, so we can decide this matter ourselves." Zhong Benshuo said, "Yanhe, this matter has no harm to you, why do you mind this matter?"

"Mr. Zhong, I hope you can change the order of signatures back." Lu Yanhe felt exhausted. These past few days, he had been forced to face these things he didn't want to face, making his emotions in a very irritable state. "When we were filming this drama, both Ceng Qiao and I signed contracts with the crew, so please act according to the contract. Ceng Qiao is the first lead, and I am the second lead. This is a clause clearly written in the contract."

Zhong Benshuo felt very confused and couldn't understand at all.

He asked: "Yanhe, changing the order of signatures, you being the first lead, this is a matter that has a hundred benefits and no harm to you, why do you refuse?"

As for the contract... as long as Ceng Qiao doesn't pursue it, the contract doesn't mean anything. And with Lu Yanhe and Ceng Qiao's current situation, Zhong Benshuo didn't think Ceng Qiao would pursue this matter. If he really pursued it, Zhong Benshuo also had the confidence to settle this matter.

Lu Yanhe said seriously: "Mr. Zhong, this is not a matter of being beneficial or harmful. Everyone worked together to create a work, and the process was not easy. If because I won a few awards in the past year or two and have more fame, we ignore the contract signed before and overturn what was already decided, this is a matter of credibility. In addition, a more important point is that I am also very good friends with Ceng Qiao. It is even more impossible for friends to do such things. Please change our order of signatures back."

Lu Yanhe's attitude was firm.

Facing his attitude, Zhong Benshuo naturally didn't insist anymore.

Thus, less than two hours after the change, the latest signature order released by Maxine returned to the way it was at the beginning.

Someone questioned on the foreign internet why the signature order was changed back.

? ttkΛn? co

Zhong Benshuo's account replied directly: Lu Yanhe is a very humble actor. He took the initiative to contact us and asked us to change back to the previous signature order. We respect his opinion.

This reply directly broke the defense of those fans of Lu Yanhe.

"..."

Lu Yanhe even saw someone scolding him in his Weibo comment section: Rotten mud can't be supported on the wall.

Lu Yanhe was amused.

"Are you okay?"

Probably because the momentum on the internet was a bit big, when Lu Yanhe returned to school, he met Miao Yue in the cafeteria, and Miao Yue asked with concern.

Lu Yanhe shook his head and said: "It's okay, I haven't been knocked down."

Miao Yue said with a smile: "I'm not worried about you being knocked down, but I'm worried if your pressure will increase again. Are you not more anxious because of this? Do you want to go for a check-up?"

Lu Yanhe was reminded by Miao Yue and was also stunned for a moment.

He hadn't thought about this aspect before.

But—

"Should be fine, right? My previous anxiety mainly came from work. As for the pressure of this public opinion on the internet, it has never been able to bring me much mental anxiety." Lu Yanhe said.

Miao Yue: "Are you that strong? Why can you not care about those public opinions?"

"Probably because I have always felt that those voices on the internet have no actual connection to my real life. Although they are sometimes annoying, that's just how it is." Lu Yanhe was not putting on airs; he really felt that way.

Miao Yue was also familiar with Lu Yanhe's character and knew that he wouldn't deliberately act like a big shot in such matters.

"Have you been at school recently?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Miao Yue nodded, "Where else would I be if not at school?"

"The classes are all finished, I thought you would go to the crew with Liu Bige."

"Only your classes are finished. I still have two electives this semester and still have to write my graduation thesis." Miao Yue said this, and gave Lu Yanhe a resentful look, "Do you know that you have become the thorn in the side of all our classmates now?"

"Why?" Lu Yanhe was confused when he heard that he had become the thorn in the side of his classmates.

Miao Yue: "Because you have so much work usually, but you can still finish your credits in advance and finish your graduation thesis in advance. Do you know how many teachers are using you as an example to whip us now?"

Lu Yanhe: "Uh..."

This was really something he hadn't expected.

Miao Yue said with a smile: "Do you know? There are even a few people complaining privately, saying that your thesis must have been written by Professor Zhao for you."

"What?"

"Saying that Professor Zhao helped you write your graduation thesis to repay your life-saving grace." Miao Yue said this with a sneer, "Some people are jealous of you, and they have had opinions about you for a long time. Even knowing it's impossible, they still deliberately say so, just to have a good time with their mouths."

When Lu Yanhe heard her say this, he guessed who was saying these things behind his back.

At Zhenhua, in their academy, there was only one person who had such malice towards him.

Ji Qiansheng, who failed to confess to him at the beginning.

Lu Yanhe curled his lips.

Miao Yue suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, there is one more thing. Is Bingyuan Video preparing to buy the drama adaptation rights of *Rouge* from you?"

Lu Yanhe nodded, "Yes, how did you know? Not only this, but also *Lost in Journey*, they also want to adapt it into a drama."

Miao Yue: "Someone came to me and wanted me to participate in the script adaptation work."

Lu Yanhe: "I haven't even agreed to give them the adaptation rights for the drama, and they are moving so fast?"

"They also said they were still negotiating the adaptation rights with you, so they didn't fool me." Miao Yue smiled.

"Do you want to do it?" Lu Yanhe asked.

"Refused." Miao Yue said, "I am revising my new novel, and before the novel is finalized, I won't take any other work."

Miao Yue had a kind of calmness typical of Zhenhua students in this regard. At Zhenhua, many students were actually in a state of being very competitive and very hard-working, but they wouldn't have the anxiety and impulse of "I must grasp this opportunity immediately" for some opportunities that looked quite good. Everyone still had the confidence of being a Zhenhua student and wouldn't rush to grasp an opportunity that looked okay because they were afraid of missing it. Everyone firmly believed that they could still wait for better opportunities.

Lu Yanhe said: "With the current reputation of the *Rouge* film, adapting it into a drama might be a bit stressful."

Miao Yue frowned and looked at Lu Yanhe sideways: "Are you trying to provoke me?"

Lu Yanhe hurriedly raised his hands to show his innocence.

"I don't have such thoughts. It's just that we suddenly talked about this, so I said so." Lu Yanhe explained.

Miao Yue: "What you said makes me have the impulse to take it on and prove myself."

"Don't be impulsive." Lu Yanhe immediately crossed his hands and said: "I'm not responsible."

"You're not responsible? That's a scumbag statement." Lin Miaomiao suddenly appeared from nowhere.

She was wearing jeans and a light yellow jacket, with fluffy hair, looking a little less student-like and a little more exquisite and fashionable.

Of course, she was good-looking herself, and it looked good in any style.

"You scared me." Lu Yanhe was not exaggerating. Lin Miaomiao suddenly appeared behind him and spoke, scaring him so much that he bounced to the side.

Lin Miaomiao looked at him with disgust.

"You are a star artist, I'm already so close to you, and you have no alertness." She said, "What if I were a black fan? You would have probably been splashed with chicken blood by me by now."

"I'm not a ghost, why would you splash me with chicken blood?"

"In the eyes of your black fans, you are not a ghost, are you still a human? Splashing you with chicken blood is to ward off evil." Lin Miaomiao said, "Do you know how many fans have scolded you on the internet recently?"

Lu Yanhe: "..."

He was actually suddenly lectured by Lin Miaomiao.

"This is school, not some place where fish and dragons are mixed, do I need to be splashed with chicken blood by someone?"

Lin Miaomiao: "Hehe, do you know what happened to the pit that Wang Xiao fell into before?"

"What happened?" Lin Miaomiao didn't say, and Lu Yanhe almost forgot about this matter.

Lin Miaomiao: "It was only recently found out that the pit was dug overnight by someone from outside who sneaked in."

"Sneaked... in?"

"That's right." Lin Miaomiao nodded, "And before he took the initiative to surrender, no one in the school found out who dug this pit."

Lu Yanhe became more confused as he listened, "What do you mean? He wasn't found out, and he still took the initiative to surrender? He admitted it himself?"

"Um, he didn't even want to come to dig this pit; he wanted to dig some of our Zhenhua's soil to go back and plant trees." Lin Miaomiao waved her hand, "Don't look at me with such unbelievable eyes. Every one of us felt unbelievable when we heard this story, and we all felt it was absurd, but this is the fact."

Lu Yanhe: "Then what are you trying to explain by telling me this story now?"

"I want to explain to you that the world is big and full of wonders, and all kinds of weird people will appear. Don't think that just because you are at Zhenhua, no one will splash you with chicken blood." Lin Miaomiao said.

Lu Yanhe: "..."

When Lu Yanhe received a very thick envelope at the dormitory manager's office downstairs, took it to the dormitory and opened it, and found that it was a stack of his photos, and each photo had a big cross drawn with a red pen, Lu Yanhe, besides feeling his blood boil and his heart in a mess, also felt great astonishment, and took the time to add: Lin Miaomiao is really a crow's mouth.

Mao Jiayang finished drying his clothes and came in from the balcony. Seeing Lu Yanhe standing in front of his desk, staring at a pile of things in a daze, he was rarely stunned, confused, walked closer, and called out Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe came back to his senses and looked at Mao Jiayang.

"Ah?"

"What's wrong with you?" Mao Jiayang asked.

Lu Yanhe came back to his senses, "Oh, it's nothing, I received a... somewhat strange envelope. Yes, I have to make a call."

He picked up his phone and called Chen Ziyan.

Mao Jiayang leaned over to look, and his eyes widened instantly.

"Damn! Who sent this to you?" Mao Jiayang asked in disbelief, seeing the photos with big crosses scattered on the table.

He reached out to take it.

"Don't touch it!" Lu Yanhe stopped him immediately and said, "There might be fingerprints on it."

Mao Jiayang reacted, nodded, and pulled his hand back.

Lu Yanhe briefly told Chen Ziyan what had happened.

As soon as Chen Ziyan heard it, she became serious and said: "Wait for me, I'll be there right away."

Lu Yanhe said "um".

After Lu Yanhe hung up the phone, Mao Jiayang asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"

Lu Yanhe shook his head, "I don't know what's going on now either."

"This package... you got it back from the express point? Who sent it to you, did you check?"

"No, it wasn't from the express point, it was from the dormitory manager's office downstairs." Lu Yanhe said, "When I came back, the dormitory manager stopped me and said there was an envelope for me."

When Mao Jiayang heard this, he immediately said: "Then I'll go ask the dormitory manager now."

After a while, Mao Jiayang came up.

"The dormitory manager said he didn't know who sent it either. It was sent from the school's mailroom along with a pile of postcards and envelopes."

Lu Yanhe was a bit surprised: "Mailroom?"

"Um." Mao Jiayang nodded, "Now basically no matter which express delivery, it is basically sent to the express point. Only China Post still runs a separate line, which will be sent to the school's mailroom and then distributed according to the building."

Lu Yanhe suddenly realized and asked: "So, this was sent by China Post?"

Mao Jiayang said: "Um, although in this era, very few people send letters, this line has always been maintained. If someone puts an envelope in the mailbox, it can still be sent to the designated location."

Lu Yanhe suddenly realized.

"However, who would send you such intimidating things and also know your dormitory building number." Mao Jiayang was very suspicious.

Lu Yanhe also understood his suspicion.

Although he was a bit confused in his heart now, he also knew that the person who did this kind of thing and could send this envelope to his hands was definitely not joking with him or playing a prank.

Lin Miaomiao's words not long ago were still in his ears.

—Do you know how many fans have scolded you on the internet recently?

People who don't have a certain hatred for Lu Yanhe can't do this kind of thing.

Chen Ziyan came to the school with people.

Not alone.

And, the lineup was not small.

Several people followed behind her, wearing black masks. As soon as they entered the door, they were like agents in a movie, opened the toolbox in their hands, put on gloves, and packed the photos and envelopes on Lu Yanhe's desk into transparent plastic bags one by one.

Lu Yanhe and Mao Jiayang stood aside in surprise throughout the whole process, watching the scene happening before their eyes.

Chen Ziyan asked: "Besides this envelope, is there anything else?"

Lu Yanhe shook his head.

Chen Ziyan looked at Mao Jiayang.

"Please keep this matter confidential for now and don't tell others." Chen Ziyan said to Mao Jiayang, "Otherwise, it's easy to cause some people to imitate."

Mao Jiayang nodded and said okay, "I definitely won't reveal a word."

Lu Yanhe asked Chen Ziyan: "Sister Ziyan, how should this matter be handled?"

"Let's see if we can find any clues first." Chen Ziyan said, "Reporting to the police at this time doesn't make much sense. I have already found a professional team to help us investigate. Before there is any progress, don't reveal this matter. Now it's just one person; once this kind of thing spreads, perhaps some people will imitate this behavior." ===== CHAPTER 469 =====
