Chapter 330 Me Too (Second Update, Please Vote!)
Perhaps because of the upcoming May Day holiday, there's no need to fight for seats in the school library's study rooms these days.
There were fewer people.
For three consecutive days, Lu Yanhe found and organized the materials for his course papers for several courses, preparing to write them before the end of the semester, rather than waiting until June to start writing.
Although his next project is a streaming crime film directed by Chen Lingling, co-starring with Zeng Qiao, which is scheduled to start filming in August, Lu Yanhe is currently taking on more and more work. He has a feeling that if he can get some things done first, he should do them first, so that he can leave more time for later and not rush to finish one thing after another, resulting in nothing being done well.
At this moment, Helan suddenly contacted him.
Senior Helan rarely contacts him—even though she's always there whenever he does a live stream.
Afterwards, because of "Jump Up", Lu Yanhe became more familiar with senior Xu Mingyue, and had relatively less contact with He Lan.
Helan usually only contacts him when she sees something she feels she needs to tell him.
Lu Yanhe and He Lan arranged to meet at the cafeteria.
He Lan then gave Lu Yanhe a set of management regulations.
“Look, these are the rules I drafted myself. Your live stream is getting more and more popular. Since you made me an administrator, I still want to make it more orderly, especially those who sneak in to post spam. It's incredibly annoying. So, I'm going to establish a ranking system. Only fans with a level above 6 can speak in the chat—and our live stream fans need to reach level 6 and watch your live stream for more than six hours,” He Lan said. “With this rule, those who want to ride your popularity and sneak in to post spam can be directly restricted from speaking, without harming your real fans.”
Lu Yanhe looked through the regulations that He Lan had made with surprise.
Helan not only made a management regulation in a serious manner, but also clarified many aspects.
For example, the speaking requirements he just mentioned, as well as the sensitive topics that are not allowed to be discussed in the bullet comments, are explained in great detail.
"Senior, did you do all of this by yourself?"
“Yes.” Helan nodded. “What do you think? If there’s anything that needs to be changed, let me know and I’ll go back and revise it.”
Lu Yanhe didn't know how to express his feelings, "Senior, you're amazing! How long did it take you to finish that?"
"I didn't do it for very long; I did it in my spare time," He Lan said.
Lu Yanhe: "Senior, I think what you did is pretty good, so let's do it this way. However, I may have less and less time to do live streams in the future, and I won't be able to do them every few days like before."
Helan: "We know, we all understand what's going on. Don't feel embarrassed. As long as you have time and remember to do a live stream, everyone will be satisfied. In fact, many people have made watching your live stream a habit. You may not know, but we usually just use your live stream as a background or chat in the bullet comments. We don't stare at the live stream screen for a long time. After a while, there's nothing to see."
Lu Yanhe wore an expression that was both funny and exasperated.
"Okay, I understand."
Helan said, "Keep up the good work! We believed you would succeed from the very beginning when we supported you."
Lu Yanhe smiled and nodded, saying okay.
Lu Yanhe really wanted to ask He Lan why she was willing to do so many things for free.
However, Lu Yanhe didn't want to ask such an unfamiliar question to this senior he had known for almost three years.
Lu Yanhe kept Helan's willingness to do such a thing in mind and never forgot the contributions of others.

Lu Yanhe mentioned to Chen Ziyan the management regulations that He Lan had made.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ziyan was somewhat surprised. She turned her gaze and said, "Now that you mention it, I'd like to meet your senior. She'll be a senior soon and probably looking for a job, right?"
Lu Yanhe asked, "Sister Ziyan, do you want to recruit Senior Helan to the company you plan to establish in the future?"
Chen Ziyan said, "I do need an assistant."
“But the senior student might not be willing to be someone else’s assistant,” Lu Yanhe said. “Although the students at our school are all very capable, most of them are also quite arrogant.”
Chen Ziyan rolled her eyes at him. "What are you thinking? Do you think she's just here to be my ordinary assistant? In the company I start in the future, I'll be the president, and she'll be the president's special assistant. Do you even know what a special assistant does? And what she can do in the future?"
Lu Yanhe said very honestly, "I don't know."
Chen Ziyan rolled her eyes even more.
-
Chen Ziyan was too lazy to talk to Lu Yanhe any further. She asked Lu Yanhe what his plans were, and Lu Yanhe said that he would be leaving in two days to go to Shangjing with Li Pengfei, and then go into the desert to stay there for two days.
Chen Ziyan asked, "When are you coming back?"
"Number six, I guess."
Chen Ziyan: "Okay, it won't affect anything. Don't forget the work I told you about the Jose Film Festival. You'll be attending as Math's spokesperson and participating in their brand activities. Also, Aurora Video has contacted us. They want to announce our strategic partnership at the Jose Film Festival."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "Okay."
Chen Ziyan: "At only a sophomore, I've already reached a position where I can have a strategic partnership with a top platform. When this news is announced, the entire entertainment industry will be shocked."
Lu Yanhe asked, "Has no one else done this?"
“Generally, only a company or a top-tier artist can form a strategic partnership with a video platform. Even actors of Jiang Yuqian or Huang Kairen’s caliber can’t do it because they haven’t reached that level. You can’t offer the same amount of resources to form a strategic partnership with them,” Chen Ziyan said. “You have the advantage of being a screenwriter, which is why you have the ability to take a shortcut and gain this kind of influence.”
Chen Ziyan's face was filled with emotion and amazement at Lu Yanhe.
She was Lu Yanhe's manager, and she had watched him grow to this point.
Lu Yanhe asked, "Will you be there when this is announced?"
Chen Ziyan nodded: "Of course. We signed the contract with them with Linghe as the main entity. Moreover, this is the first time that Linghe has been exposed to the media. From now on, everyone will know that we have established a film and television production company."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"It will probably take a lot of explaining to everyone that our company is not actually going to produce films and TV series ourselves," Chen Ziyan said. "Once the news is announced, many people will definitely think that you are going to produce films and TV series yourself."
Lu Yanhe: "Then I need to tell everyone right away that I don't have that kind of ability."
Chen Ziyan lowered her head and chuckled softly.
-
Just then, Xin Zixing came looking for Lu Yanhe.
"Yan He, now that you've finished filming, do you have time to record 'City Travelogue' later?"
Previously, Lu Yanhe missed two months of recording due to filming, so "City Travelogue" invited several other celebrities to record the program.
However, the results were consistently poor, and the show's ratings were never as good as those of the episodes in which Lu Yanhe participated.
Lu Yanhe said, "Sister Zixing, I can record now, but I'm going to Shangjing with my friends soon. We want to spend a few days in the desert. Let me come back after my vacation."
"Wait, wait, wait—" Xin Zixing interrupted Lu Yanhe immediately upon hearing his words, "You're going to Shangjing?"
“Yes.” Lu Yanhe nodded.
Xin Zixing asked, "Who are you going with?"
Lu Yanhe said, "My high school classmate, Li Pengfei, and whether there are others, I don't know yet. It was Li Pengfei who organized it. I have to ask him."
Upon hearing this, Xin Zixing said, "Yan He, could you authorize us to film the whole trip? Don't worry, since this is a trip you organized yourself, we won't follow the previous program format or make any related designs. We will just film you, without saying a word or interfering with your activities."
Lu Yanhe let out a puzzled "Ah".
“Sister Zixing, this is ‘City Travelogue,’ not ‘Desert Travelogue.’”
“If cities can be steel forests, why can’t deserts be desert cities?” Xin Zixing asked confidently.
Lu Yanhe was speechless for a moment.
He thought Xin Zixing's words made a lot of sense.
Xin Zixing added, "If you and your friends agree, we will still pay you the normal program recording fee, and we will cover all your round-trip expenses and the cost of this trip."
Lu Yanhe hesitated for a moment, then said, "Then I'll ask them."
-
“I can do it, no problem.” Li Pengfei immediately agreed when he heard Lu Yanhe say that. “However, Ziju might be a little reluctant. I have to ask her. I don’t know if she is willing.”
Lu Yanhe said, "Then ask around, is it just the three of us going to Shangjing this time?"
Li Pengfei said, "I also invited Lin Yu, Chen Qin, and Chen Siqi, but none of them have told me whether they will go or not."
Lu Yanhe said, "We're about to leave. Why don't you ask around again? If a few of us can go together, this trip will be much more fun."
Lu Yanhe thought to himself, it's a rare opportunity for everyone to get together.
Li Pengfei said, "Okay, I'll ask them again. But, with so many of us going together, wouldn't it be a little awkward if we all appeared on the 'City Travelogue' program together?"
"What's so embarrassing?"
"You and Chen Siqi haven't gone public yet, have you?" Li Pengfei said directly, "Although many people are speculating whether you and Chen Siqi are together."
Lu Yanhe thought of the post on the "Spring Sprout" forum that revealed he was no longer single.
He said, "I'll ask Chen Siqi about it. You don't need to worry about it."
"Okay." Li Pengfei chuckled, seemingly having thought of something.
Lu Yanhe hung up the phone and sent a message to Chen Siqi: Are you free? I have something I want to ask you.
Chen Siqi: I'm in class, wait a minute.
Lu Yanhe: Okay.
It wasn't until noon that Chen Siqi called back.
"What's the matter? You're asking me so seriously if I'm free," Chen Siqi said.
"It's all because of that last time I called you and talked to you for ages, but you said you were in a meeting and had it on speakerphone, so everyone heard it." Lu Yanhe said, still feeling embarrassed.
Chen Siqi: "I told you I had it on speakerphone, so who can you blame if you didn't hear it?"
Lu Yanhe swore he hadn't heard it.
Chen Siqi: "I'm not going to argue with you about this anymore. What do you want to ask me?"
Lu Yanhe said, "It's like this, Li Pengfei and I originally planned to go to the Shangjing Desert for two days during the May Day holiday. Didn't he also invite you? You haven't replied to him yet whether you're going or not."
“I think if you go, I’ll go; if you don’t, I’m not familiar with them, so it’s not fun,” Chen Siqi said.
When Lu Yanhe heard Chen Siqi say, "If you go, I'll go," his heart was filled with joy, and he smiled broadly.
He said, "Okay, but there's this thing now. The team behind 'City Travelogue' wants to film us the whole time. If they do, our relationship might just be made public. Are you willing to do that?"
Chen Siqi: "Wait, what did you say?"
Lu Yanhe: "What I mean is, if 'City Travelogue' follows us throughout the whole process, and we don't intend to deliberately hide this, everyone might know that we're dating. Would you be willing to do that?"
Chen Siqi suddenly laughed.
Lu Yanhe was completely bewildered. "What are you laughing at?"
Chen Siqi: "It's nothing, um, sure."
Lu Yanhe also laughed.
"Okay."
"Whether it's public or not is none of my business, it's up to you," Chen Siqi said. "Anyway, most of the people close to me know about this."
Lu Yanhe hummed in agreement, his eyes full of laughter, and said, "Me too."
