Chapter 155 The World Is a Little Small
The world is sometimes quite small; how could we run into each other like this? Lu Yanhe was stunned for a long time.
In the morning, Zhang Ming again dragged Lu Yanhe to class, still talking about acting and the greatness of different actors.
Lu Yanhe understood Chen Ziyan's intention in arranging this class for him, and listened attentively, but automatically put aside Zhang Ming's personal opinions and listened carefully.
Zhang Ming is a very ambitious person; you can tell just by listening to him speak.
Perhaps he felt somewhat like his talents were going to waste.
After the morning classes ended, Lu Yanhe dropped Zhang Ming off at the elevator and then returned to the rehearsal room. In his small group chat with Li Zhibai and Yan Liang, he asked: Are you guys at the company?
Neither of them came to the company today.
Yan Liang said: Li Zhibai is playing a game, and the director is playing the game with Li Zhibai the whole time.
Lu Yanhe: They played games all morning?
Yan Liang: It's been almost two hours.
Lu Yanhe: Okay, I was thinking of having lunch together if any of you were at the company, but I'll go eat by myself.
After putting down his phone, Lu Yanhe got up and left.
Because he had to attend He Shuyi's class in the afternoon, Lu Yanhe didn't lock the door.
Anyway, there's nothing in the rehearsal room, and there's nothing to lock.
When they got downstairs, Lu Yanhe ran into Tu Song.
He came out from another elevator.
"Want to go eat?"
"Um."
"That area?"
"Sure."
The two of them then got together.
Lu Yanhe also became Chen Ziyan's artist, something Tu Song had only recently learned.
Tu Songdu has not yet seriously discussed this matter with Lu Yanhe.
He was actually quite curious and wanted to know when Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan first met.
In the past six months, Chen Ziyan has signed three people.
Lu Yanhe was the last one.
Tu Song is the only one of the three who can sing.
Once outside the company, Tu Song asked in a low voice, "Yan He, when did you and Sister Ziyan start talking? How come you didn't let a word out? Wen Minglan and I have asked Sister Ziyan several times who she's planning to sign, but she's always refused to say."
Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "We've been talking about it for a while now, but we'll officially sign the contract after the college entrance exam. It's not appropriate to tell everyone before it's finalized."
“That’s true.” Tu Song nodded. “Now you can probably feel how painful it is to be envied by a lot of people, right? Whenever I appear in the company, some people look at me with envious eyes, as if I’ve stepped in dog poop. Although… I also think I’ve stepped in dog poop.”
Tu Song gave a simple, honest smile.
Lu Yanhe: "It's really lucky that Sister Ziyan took a liking to me. There are so many artists in the company, it doesn't matter who I choose."
"You can't say that, right? She was chosen by Sister Ziyan." Tu Song puffed out his chest. "Although I don't know what makes me better than others, I must have some strengths to be chosen by Sister Ziyan."
Lu Yanhe laughed and nodded.
Tu Song is also a very interesting person.
He is usually quiet, a bit stubborn, and doesn't act or speak as carefully as Yan Liang, who is good at reading people's expressions.
But he is actually a very generous person, he dares to say anything, and he doesn't play any tricks on you.
Lu Yanhe didn't have much contact with him. Every time they met, apart from feeling that he sometimes spoke and acted unpredictably, he didn't find anything wrong with him.
The two of them went to the same restaurant next to the company.
"I'd like some stir-fried eggplant with green peppers and a fried chicken." Tu Song ordered what he wanted first, then handed the menu to Lu Yanhe, "See what you'd like to eat."
Lu Yanhe thought that since there were only two of them eating, ordering one more dish would be enough. Tu Song had ordered two dishes that were very oily and spicy, so he ordered a loofah instead, which was light and refreshing.
After ordering the food, Tu Song smiled and started talking about how he was learning to sing.
“I’m learning to sing with my teacher every day now, and Sister Ziyan even encouraged me to take the entrance exam for a music academy next year.”
“That’s great. You’ve always wanted to be a singer, so going to a music academy to study seriously will give you a more solid foundation.”
"Yes." Tu Song nodded. "Sister Ziyan still cares a lot about our basic skills. You were in class today too, right?"
"Um."
"Wen Minglan has also been assigned classes," Tu Song chuckled. "Everyone's in class."
This was the first time Lu Yanhe had ever heard of it.
This was something he really hadn't expected.
An agent was assigned to manage three new recruits, and the first thing he did was arrange for them to attend classes.
Lu Yanhe had never heard of another agent doing this before.
Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting. Everyone knows this principle, but it's rare to see someone like Chen Ziyan put it into practice.
“Look at MX, although they’re very popular now, they’re always rushing to new gigs. Yesterday, Ma Zhiyuan even made a big joke about himself,” Tu Song said.
"What joke did he make?" Lu Yanhe asked.
He didn't know.
He ran into Ma Zhiyuan at the company yesterday; Ma's face was unpredictable, like a dark cloud looming over the city.
Tu Song: "Last night they participated in a live broadcast event together, and Ma Zhiyuan even mispronounced the brand's name."
The brand name is in English, which Ma Zhiyuan doesn't recognize and doesn't know how to pronounce.
Lu Yanhe did not see this news.
“Many people online say that Ma Zhiyuan is uncultured and can’t even pronounce a simple English word,” Tu Song said. “Actually, the brand name isn’t that obscure. Even if you don’t recognize it, you can probably pronounce it by looking at the letter combination. Vecinne, but he pronounces it as ‘Wei Ci Ni.’ No wonder everyone laughs at him.”
"Is Ma Zhiyuan's English not good?"
“He didn’t even finish high school, how can he possibly be good at English?” Tu Song said with a hint of disdain. “He’s always so arrogant, like a complete idiot. He’s made so many mistakes. This time he couldn’t even pronounce the brand name correctly or didn’t prepare in advance. And as a singer, last time he couldn’t even understand the sheet music. He’s just a complete bum.”
Although Lu Yanhe knew that Tu Song wasn't making veiled attacks on him, he still felt like he'd been shot in the knee.
Doesn't he also include people who can't even understand this sheet music?
Lu Yanhe did not expect Tu Song to have such a strong opinion about Ma Zhiyuan.
“But he’s so popular.” Lu Yanhe was worried that Tu Song would have such a strong opinion about Ma Zhiyuan in front of others, and if it got out, it wouldn’t be good for Tu Song. He reminded him, “He’s at the peak of his career right now, so don’t say these things. There’s always a reason why he’s popular.”
"So what if she can dance? If she can dance so well, she should become a professional dancer." Tu Song pouted.
It seems that Tu Song's prejudice against Ma Zhiyuan is exceptionally deep.
This surprised Lu Yanhe, who asked, "Is there some kind of conflict between you and Ma Zhiyuan?"
Tu Song simply hummed in agreement and said, "He used to laugh at me, saying that my dream of becoming a singer was a pipe dream, and that my voice was awful and no one would like to listen to me sing."
To be fair, it's completely unfounded to say that Tu Song's voice is unpleasant and that nobody likes to listen to him sing.
Although Tu Song isn't very popular in Fengzhi, he's widely recognized for his good singing voice.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so focused on releasing his own single.
When Ma Zhiyuan said those things to Tu Song, he was clearly trying to disgust him on purpose.
Lu Yanhe had always disliked Ma Zhiyuan's arrogant and smug attitude, and after hearing what Tu Song said, he understood why Tu Song was so hostile towards Ma Zhiyuan.
To put it bluntly, it was all Ma Zhiyuan's own fault for being so foul-mouthed.
Tu Song is rather introverted and doesn't take the initiative to interact with people. Lu Yanhe knows him to some extent and knows that Tu Song would definitely not provoke Ma Zhiyuan.
What's going on with Ma Zhiyuan, that he suddenly started attacking Tu Song?
Lu Yanhe then asked.
Tu Song said, "It was once when I was auditioning a song in the recording studio and I ran into him. He insisted on using the recording studio half an hour early, even though I had already made an appointment for the time. He insisted on kicking me out and then said those things."
"This guy is disgusting," Lu Yanhe said, pursing his lips.
That's such a stingy thing to do.
As the two were talking, the owner came to serve them their food.
The two continued eating and chatting.
Suddenly someone pushed the door open and came in.
The person who came was Ma Zhiyuan.
Ma Zhiyuan walked in with a dark face, wearing a baseball cap, looking very unhappy. He was all alone.
Lu Yanhe and Tu Song exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised.
Speak of the devil and he shall appear.
Ma Zhiyuan didn't even look in their direction; he walked straight to another direction and sat down.
"What's wrong with him now?" Tu Song asked in a low voice. "His face is all black."
Lu Yanhe took out his phone and searched for Ma Zhiyuan's name online.
Modern search engines are very intelligent; as soon as Ma Zhiyuan's name was entered, related keywords immediately popped up.
— Ma Zhiyuan mocked Tang Qi for not knowing how to use Western tableware.
?
Lu Yanhe clicked on it and found that the topic was from an entertainment marketing account. The post contained a video with the text, "What kind of quality do idols have these days? They openly mock and look down on others for not knowing how to use Western cutlery on shows. Not everyone is born into privilege. Tang Qi, don't mind it. Cutlery is cutlery. You can use it however you want. Don't let these kinds of people hold you hostage. Keep working hard. When you become famous, even if you use chopsticks to eat pasta, people will just say you have your own style."
He silenced his phone and turned on the video. The video was short, only one minute long. It was about Ma Zhiyuan participating in a program where there was a segment where they ate Western food and chatted. However, Tang Qi didn't know how to use a knife and fork properly and didn't use them correctly. When someone pointed it out, Tang Qi looked ashamed, while Ma Zhiyuan looked mocking and looked down on her.
Lu Yanhe passed it on to Tu Song.
After reading it, Tu Song didn't seem surprised at all. He pursed his lips and handed the phone back to Lu Yanhe.
Just then, someone else came in.
They are the other two members of MX, Wei Zhuoran and Qu Yousong.
"Old Ma, don't look so long. It's just a small matter. Everyone will talk about it for a few days and then it will be over." Wei Zhuoran shouted as he pushed open the door. After he finished speaking, he saw that Lu Yanhe and Tu Song were still in the restaurant.
He paused, looked at them, and then scoffed.
