"Brother Ping'an, if you are worried about my acting skills, why can't the company hire a teacher to teach me before I officially film?"

Lu Yan He pretended not to notice Zhou Ping'an's true intentions and responded faintly.

"Sister Qian also said that this play won't start filming until July next year at the earliest, right?"

Zhou Ping'an said: "Aren't you still preparing for the college entrance exam? Don't you really intend to take the college entrance exam next year? Take it the year after?"

"For the past few years, I have been waiting for an opportunity. Now that the opportunity has come, how dare I miss it?"

"Opportunities, there will naturally be plenty in the future."

"But a month ago, Brother Ping'an, you advised me to terminate the contract with the company and quit the entertainment industry," Lu Yan He said.

Zhou Ping'an was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Lu Yan He waited for ten seconds before saying again: "Actually, Brother Ping'an, you don't have to worry about my acting skills. Maybe the director will look at me and refuse directly? Sister Qian also said that this matter is not up to her, she can only recommend me."

This sentence comforted Zhou Ping'an's anxious mood.

Also, even if Jiang Yuqian recommended him, the director might not necessarily use him.

The key was that this sentence reminded Zhou Ping'an that he didn't need to worry about how to solve this matter himself.

The person who wanted Lu Yan He to quit the entertainment industry was Vice President Ma, so let Vice President Ma solve this matter.

Jiang Yuqian took a fancy to Lu Yan He

Lu Yan He had a feeling that Jiang Yuqian asking him to act in a film would not go so smoothly.

When he returned to the dormitory, Yan Liang and Li Zhibai were both there.

"Why are you back so late today? I sent you messages, but you didn't reply," Yan Liang said.

Lu Yan He gave an 'oh' sound and said, "Zhou Ping'an took me to meet Jiang Yuqian this evening, and I had dinner with them, so I didn't look at my phone the whole time."

"Jiang Yuqian?" Upon hearing this name, Yan Liang immediately widened his eyes and asked, "Why would Zhou Ping'an take you to meet Jiang Yuqian?"

"Actually, it was Jiang Yuqian who told Zhou Ping'an she wanted to see me, which is why he took me. Jiang Yuqian said there is a role coming up that she thinks I'm suitable for, so she wanted to see me in person." Lu Yan He put down his schoolbag, looked at Yan Liang and Li Zhibai who had followed him into his room, and smiled slightly. "I feel like this whole thing is fishy, so don't tell anyone else yet."

Yan Liang, however, said with pleasant surprise, "How is that fishy? Since Jiang Yuqian was able to take a liking to you, then this role must be yours."

"I still have to meet the director. She also said that this matter still depends on the director's decision," Lu Yan He said.

He did not mention the possibility that Zhou Ping'an might try to obstruct it.

"It'll definitely be fine. Since Jiang Yuqian has already spoken up to recommend you, how could the director not agree?" Li Zhibai crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against the door. "Not bad, Little Lu, a comeback from the brink, back into the entertainment industry again."

Lu Yan He: "It's not that exaggerated. Alright, I need to study, you two go out."

Li Zhibai stared at him and said, "Are you kidding me? You're studying again the moment you get back?"

"I still have to take the college entrance exam," Lu Yan He said.

Li Zhibai: "Aren't you about to go film a movie?"

"There's no sign of it yet, and even if I do film, it'll be after next year's college entrance exam."

"Why do you look so unexcited and not thrilled at all?"

"For something with no sign of happening yet, getting excited and thrilled in advance might just lead to empty joy in the end." Lu Yan He pushed the two of them out of his room. "Alright, I really need to study, don't disturb me."

He immediately closed the door.

How to put it? Why wasn't he excited or thrilled?

In that moment, he was certainly excited and thrilled, but Zhou Ping'an's attitude was like a knife held to his throat; the sharp blade was telling him with a clear and definite attitude that he would, in all likelihood, not be able to act in this film.

Lu Yan He's heart was filled with doubt and anger at this moment.

He sat down to calm his emotions.

It was already eight-thirty in the evening.

Lu Yan He shook his head, forcing himself to calm down.

He opened his laptop, logged into the livestreaming backend, and prepared to study.

But the follower count on the livestreaming backend startled Lu Yan He; he didn't know how, but the follower count had actually reached 327. The last time he logged in, it had only been 37.

He had only interrupted for one day yesterday and didn't livestream.

Lu Yan He thought about it and felt it must be related to him trending on the hot search and the news yesterday.

He started the livestream and began to study and do practice problems.

He Lan's name had not been exposed in the news or on online platforms.

In the videos taken by the crowd at the scene, she was not there. When she was pushed away by Lu Yan He, the situation had just begun to escalate, and no one was filming.

However, the news released officially included footage captured by the surveillance cameras at the intersection.

The scene where he pushed her and Li Chang away was broadcast by the news program, but both her and Li Chang's faces were blurred to protect their privacy.

Li Chang had already left last night.

After He Lan returned to school, she let herself recover for a long time before she could snap out of the lingering fear.

If it hadn't been for Lu Yan He's help, the hostage most likely to be seized would have been her.

Her roommates didn't know that in the news event that had caused such a stir yesterday, the girl pushed away by Lu Yan He's act of righteous courage was her.

Today, He Lan was still somewhat absent-minded, and even Xu Mingyue and Jiang Linxian noticed it, asking her with concern if she was feeling unwell.

She only brushed it off by saying she was a bit listless, went to bed early, pulled the bed curtains, opened her phone, and subconsciously searched for Lu Yan He's name online.

Online, Lu Yan He's name was tied to yesterday's news event, with almost everyone discussing his appearance and praising his courage.

After being washed up for so long, he had finally become popular again, and even the authorities had named him to praise him.

He Lan really hoped Lu Yan He could become popular again.

Then, He Lan saw someone on a social media platform talking about Lu Yan He's livestreaming room, using an incredulous tone to say that Lu Yan He had been frequently livestreaming himself studying recently.

This post was very popular, with thousands of likes and over five hundred comments. Everyone was very curious: how could a celebrity star livestream studying?

Just at this moment, the backend suddenly pushed a notification: The streamer you follow in the "Targeting Zhenhua or Yuming" livestreaming room is online!

He Lan clicked in, surprised.

Had Lu Yan He started livestreaming again so soon?

On the screen, Lu Yan He was leaning close to the camera, likely adjusting the angle. After he finished, he opened his book and began to read.

Today, there were many more people in the livestreaming room than usual; there were actually over a hundred people watching simultaneously all of a sudden.

In the chat room, many people were discussing Lu Yan He's act of righteous courage yesterday, as well as their confusion about this livestream content.

Most of them were unfamiliar IDs.
