Chapter 417 Lin Miaomiao's boyfriend fell into a trap!
"The Shanghai TV station and the Jiangsu TV station have also contacted us about the program 'China in Culture'."
At the latest meeting, Xin Zixing shared the latest news.
“This program is indeed suitable for broadcast on television,” Zheng Huai-ren said. “However, would you like to broadcast this program on television?”
“I think it’s quite suitable,” Xin Zixing said. “After all, TV viewers are more likely to become the audience of this program.”
“That’s true, he’s older.” Zheng Huai-ren smiled.
Lu Yanhe felt uncomfortable hearing such sarcastic remarks.
However, the competition between video platforms and television stations has a long history, involving both cooperation and competition, and the relationship is complex and cannot be explained in a few words.
Lu Yanhe simply suppressed his discomfort.
Chen Siqi said, "It's certainly a good thing that this program can be broadcast on both TV and the internet. It can further expand its influence, right? Mr. Zheng, as a video platform, you also shoulder the task of cultural inheritance and dissemination. Since we have reached a consensus to produce this program together, it is also a good thing to make it more influential."
Zheng Huai-ren asked, "You're not going to let this show be like 'Friends,' airing on TV before finally going online on video platforms, are you?"
"Of course not, this program will just be broadcast at the normal pace of TV and online broadcasting," Chen Siqi said. "Actually, neither of us expects to make a fortune through this program. For both of us, the value and significance of the program itself is the most important thing."
Zheng Huai-ren looked at Lu Yan-he: "I remember Yan-he said before that this show might become a phenomenal hit?"
Lu Yanhe shrugged and said, "I did say that we didn't expect to make a fortune through this program. That was our original intention in making this program, and it doesn't affect the fact that the final result exceeded our expectations."
Zheng Huai Ren couldn't help but laugh when he heard Lu Yan He's words.
A matter can be said in two ways: positive and negative.
However, the fact that this happened to Lu Yanhe made him feel a little uncomfortable. Other people are other people, but you're Lu Yanhe. How could you do this to him?
Neither of them probably expected that at this meeting, they would both feel somewhat displeased by what the other said.
-
Despite these unpleasant things, work is about finding common ground while respecting differences.
"China in Culture" continues to be promoted.
Filming for "Squid Game" has also started.
This web series boasts an all-star cast, with each actor having representative works and being a familiar face to the media and audiences.
For this reason, the publicity strategy adopted by this drama is consistent with the publicity strategy usually used by big productions. The cast was officially announced as soon as filming started.
Such a cast has made the drama a hot topic of discussion, as expected.
Among them, the fans of the female lead Jiang Yuqian and the second male lead Liu Zefan generated the most buzz. Jiang Yuqian's fans, in particular, were anxious. In the past two years, two of her works have flopped, and she hasn't had any other promising projects. Now that Jiang Yuqian has finally landed a very reliable big-budget production, her fans are happier and more excited than anyone else.
The fact that Lu Yanhe, the sole screenwriter, was not listed among the main actors caused an uproar online.
Entertainment critic Guan Suchen said: "This is the third film and television work written by Lu Yanhe but not starring him. The two films are 'Lost in Thailand' and 'Rouge,' and now the web series 'Squid Game.' This makes me a little confused. What is Lu Yanhe thinking? Actors writing and starring in their own works has always happened, but it is really rare for someone like Lu Yanhe to frequently write his own scripts but not star in them."
Lu Yanhe's fans left comments under her post: We fans don't understand either.
Many people don't understand.
Lu Yanhe's Weibo account also received many comments and questions.
He offered no explanation.
Because it was already explained long ago. There wasn't a suitable role available, otherwise he would have played it himself.
He didn't want to explain the same thing over and over again.
-
March, a season that should be filled with spring warmth and blooming flowers, has been strange this year. Perhaps the north wind still lingers in this world, unwilling to leave easily, and the temperature remains as unsteady as an old lady climbing a mountain.
Lu Yanhe was out on campus, not wanting to dress too bulky and hinder his movement, but it was too cold, and he couldn't just worry about his appearance. He gradually put aside his image and decided to wear a thick down jacket.
"Lu Yanhe, can you slow down a bit!" Lin Miaomiao's voice rang out from behind him.
Lu Yanhe turned back to look at Lin Miaomiao with a helpless expression.
Didn't you say it was extremely urgent?
That's right, Lin Miaomiao, whom we hadn't seen for a long time, reappeared. Since entering the Mathematics Department of Zhenhua University, she had been preparing for competitions in seclusion. She participated in several important international mathematics competitions and achieved very good results in almost all of them, becoming the new generation of academic goddess at Zhenhua University.
Lin Miaomiao also has a bad temper, and she directly said on her WeChat Moments: I don't like being called a goddess.
Lu Yanhe was surprised when he saw the news on the school forum. Lin Miaomiao hadn't contacted him for too long, and he hadn't seen Lin Miaomiao for too long. Seeing her news again suddenly made him realize how awesome she was at school.
When Lin Miaomiao suddenly appeared in a panic today, it startled Lu Yanhe.
When Lin Miaomiao saw him, it was as if she had seen a lifeline; her eyes lit up. "Lu Yanhe!"
I only found out what happened after asking.
Lin Miaomiao's boyfriend has fallen into a trap.
Lu Yanhe was stunned when he heard about this.
What is that?
Two things shocked Lu Yanhe:
First, when did Lin Miaomiao get a boyfriend?
Secondly, what happened to Lin Miaomiao's boyfriend falling into the pit?
Lin Miaomiao, panting, ran alongside Lu Yanhe for a while and said, "It's over there, in that little grove of trees."
Lu Yanhe said, "You two are in such cold weather, you don't need to come to this grove for a date. Can't you find a warmer place to meet?"
"None of your business!" Lin Miaomiao snorted.
Lu Yanhe: "...Where is it?"
He followed Lin Miaomiao into the grove. This grove was quite secluded and large, and it was a popular spot for couples to date or have secret rendezvous, provided the weather was nice.
In this chilly weather, almost no one stays here.
Subsequently, Lu Yanhe found the pit.
It turned out to be a large pit that was more than four meters deep.
Lu Yanhe looked down at the disheveled man squatting in the pit, stunned for a long time, before hesitantly calling out, "Senior?"
-
In the end, Lu Yanhe had to ask the school security guards for help to get Wang Xiao out of the pit.
His left foot was twisted and he couldn't move it, so Lu Yanhe had to carry him to the infirmary.
Lin Miaomiao followed beside them.
Lu Yanhe didn't know where to begin.
Lu Yanhe didn't know what to say to this senior who was still serving as the president of the Youth Association even though he was a senior.
"This pit is too much!" Wang Xiao's face showed a disheveled look, but he couldn't help but make excuses for his slip. "I don't know who dug such a big pit there, I must find that person!"
Lu Yanhe said, "A pit more than four meters deep, it shouldn't have been dug by students, they couldn't have dug such a big pit."
Wang Xiao had a stern face.
"Then why would such a pit suddenly appear?"
Lin Miaomiao said, "Replaced the water pipes? The school did it?"
"What water pipes could possibly need replacing in a forest?" Wang Xiao's twisted foot accidentally bumped into Lu Yanhe's leg, causing him to wince in pain and gasp for breath.
Seeing this, Lin Miaomiao reminded her, "Be careful."
Wang Xiao and Lu Yanhe both thought Lin Miaomiao was referring to them, and both said "Oh" in unison.
Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth and smile.
Only then did Lu Yanhe ask, "When did you two... get together?"
Wang Xiao chuckled and said, "This winter break."
"Winter break?" Lu Yanhe was surprised. Wasn't that something that happened recently?
However, the fact that Lin Miaomiao had a boyfriend relieved Lu Yanhe.
Wang Xiao said, "We had a study tour during the winter break, and we went to Hujiang together."
-
"Wang Xiao and Lin Miaomiao are together?" Chen Siqi was just as shocked when she heard the news, her astonishment no less than that of Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe: "You didn't expect this either, did you?"
Chen Siqi: "I thought Lin Miaomiao liked you."
"Hmm, if I said I've never felt that way, wouldn't that be too hypocritical?"
"Yes," Chen Siqi said decisively, "However, they might not like you anymore."
“Yes, maybe so,” Lu Yanhe said. “When I saw her with her senior, although she was still a bit spoiled as before, her eyes were full of tenderness when she looked at him. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such tenderness in her eyes before.”
Chen Siqi: "You observed her very carefully."
"Uh, it's an actor's instinct, I'm used to observing others," Lu Yanhe quickly explained.
Chen Siqi: "But your senior is graduating soon, right?"
“He will continue his studies at the graduate level,” Lu Yanhe said. “He has chosen to pursue graduate studies.”
"I see."
“My roommates are all preparing to pursue graduate studies, but I’m not,” Lu Yanhe said. “Although I had already made up my mind, I still felt quite disappointed when I saw that I was the only one not going to graduate school.”
Chen Siqi said, "It's not too late for you to change your mind now."
“I won’t change it,” Lu Yanhe said firmly. “If I really want to pursue a master’s degree, I can take the entrance exam anytime.”
"Just don't regret it later," Chen Siqi said. "I really don't like studying, so I've decided not to pursue a master's degree."
-
That day, Lu Yanhe and Zhou Mukai went to Professor Zhao Dezhong's office to see him.
Zhou Mukai wants to pursue his graduate studies and has already started working on a research project with him. Of course, his part-time editing work for "Jump Up" hasn't stopped either.
Lu Yanhe went to ask Zhao Dezhong some questions.
After the book list was released on the "Xueyou" APP, many people joined the reading plan, reading the books and leaving comments with many questions.
Lu Yanhe specifically compiled these questions, intending to find Professor Zhao Dezhong to answer them.
Professor Zhao Dezhong readily agreed.
To Lu Yanhe's surprise, there were other people in Professor Zhao Dezhong's office.
It turned out to be someone Lu Yanhe knew.
Deng Siyuan from Beijing-Taiwan. He was previously in charge of external publicity and liaison at Beijing-Taiwan. He was also the one who planned the "Lu Yanhe is a genius" promotional video for the first season of "Friends" and caused Lu Yanhe to be ridiculed by the public.
Deng Siyuan was stunned when he saw Lu Yanhe, clearly not expecting to run into him here.
When Professor Zhao Dezhong saw the two of them arrive, he said, "Minister Deng, it's time for my appointment with the students. I'll consider what you told me, and we'll contact each other again later."
Deng Siyuan stood up, a smile returning to his face.
"Okay, Professor Zhao, then I'll wait for good news." Deng Siyuan shook hands with Zhao Dezhong, turned around and left. As he brushed past Lu Yanhe, he gave Lu Yanhe a forced smile and said, "Long time no see, Yanhe."
Lu Yanhe nodded and said softly, in a voice almost inaudible to a second person, "It's better not to meet."
He lowered his eyes expressionlessly, staring at his two shoes with an air of indifference.
Deng Siyuan smiled and left.
Zhou Mukai looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise. He had heard what Lu Yanhe had just said.
Zhao Dezhong didn't hear it, but he noticed that Deng Siyuan greeted Lu Yanhe.
"You two know each other?"
Lu Yanhe nodded, "I'll let it go."
Zhao Dezhong was somewhat surprised and asked, "What, do you have a grudge against him?"
“We had some conflicts before,” Lu Yanhe said. “This person is dishonest and made some underhanded moves, which caused me to suffer a loss.”
Zhao Dezhong immediately frowned. "Is he really that kind of person?"
"Teacher Zhao, what does he want with you?"
"They said there was a program on Beijing and Taiwan that wanted me to participate," Zhao Dezhong said. "They wanted me to talk about ancient Chinese literature on the program."
Lu Yanhe: "..."
He was somewhat taken aback and startled.
"ah?"
Zhou Mukai also cast a questioning look at him.
He worked as a part-time editor at "Jump Up," so he knew very well what Chen Siqi and her team had been up to lately.
-
“Deng Siyuan has been removed from the publicity department,” Hu Siwei explained to Lu Yanhe over the phone. “He’s back to making programs now, but I haven’t heard that he’s preparing any new ones.”
Lu Yanhe said, "He came to the school to see my teacher today and invited him to be on a program to talk about ancient Chinese literature. I really can't help but think about this. Siwei, we're making a big fuss about creating a cultural program, and he's doing it too?"
Hu Siwei: "Could it be a coincidence? Or maybe he heard some rumors and thought that if he did it with you, the show would definitely be a hit?"
Lu Yanhe: "That's ridiculous, isn't this plagiarism?"
Hu Siwei remained silent for a moment.
"If it's just about making cultural programs, then it doesn't constitute plagiarism."
“That’s true.” Lu Yanhe knew he had been too hasty.
Furious.
He took a breath to calm himself down before saying, "Fine, let him do whatever he wants."
Hu Siwei: "What are you after when you make these cultural programs? I don't quite understand them. Are you planning to transition into a program producer?"
"Just trying it out," Lu Yanhe said. "Just having some fun."
"Alright then, I was just doing a good job as an actor, why are you here trying to steal the producer's job?" Hu Siwei chuckled. "I originally wanted to buy your show and broadcast it on Beijing TV, but unfortunately, Xu TV thinks no one watches it and doesn't agree."
Lu Yanhe: "It's alright, even if you come to me to buy it, you won't be able to."
"Hmm?" Hu Siwei asked, "Why? Are you planning to do exclusive online streaming?"
“No, we’ve already sold the first and second rounds of airtime on TV,” Lu Yanhe said.
It's no longer your turn, Beijing and Taiwan.
Hu Siwei was shocked.
"Is this show really that popular?"
"Perhaps it's because of its cultural significance? Everyone was quite enthusiastic."
Hu Siwei was speechless.
Lu Yanhe's words were perhaps intentionally said to him.
-
Lu Yanhe hung up the phone, put it in his pocket, tucked his laptop under his left arm, held a cup of coffee in his right hand, pushed open the glass door of the coffee shop, and walked out.
The cold wind still howled.
He hurriedly returned to his dormitory and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Open the door, kind person." He couldn't free his hand to take out the key to open the door, so he could only call out to his roommate at the door.
Zhou Mukai opened the door from the inside.
Lu Yanhe put down his laptop and placed the coffee on the table.
"Aren't they both here?"
"He went to be with his girlfriend," Zhou Mukai said. "Why are you back at this time?"
It's 3 PM now. Lu Yanhe usually doesn't have classes at this time and is studying outside.
Lu Yanhe said, "The air conditioning in the library was broken, and it was too cold to sit there, so I came back."
Zhou Mukai smiled.
"Today I overheard Teacher Zhao making a phone call to that person from the other day."
"Which one?"
"It's the person we met in Teacher Zhao's office that day, I think he's a program producer."
"Huh? Oh, Deng Siyuan." Lu Yanhe realized.
“Teacher Zhao rejected him,” Zhou Mukai said. “Moreover, Teacher Zhao also called another teacher, who seemed to have received the same invitation and told him not to go.”
Lu Yanhe stared at Zhou Mukai in shock, "Huh?"
Zhou Mukai said, "I never expected that Teacher Zhao would do such a thing. Not only did he not go himself, but he also called other people and told them not to go."
Thinking of Zhao Dezhong's usually serious expression, Lu Yanhe sighed, "I never expected this either."
Do you know what he said to that teacher?
"What did you say?"
"He said that Deng Siyuan had bullied you, and the teachers at Zhenhua must stand up for the students of Zhenhua."
Lu Yanhe took a deep breath, visibly alarmed, and said, "This really can't be, Teacher Zhao, this is too much..."
He had originally intended to put on an act, but as the words were about to come out, he looked at Zhou Mukai and thought, "Why bother pretending now?"
His expression immediately changed. "Yes, Teacher Zhao is awesome!"
Let Deng Siyuan beat his chest and stamp his feet in regret!
When Zhou Mukai saw Lu Yanhe's expression suddenly change, from gratitude ("Why did Teacher Zhao go to such lengths?") to delight ("Teacher Zhao is my god"), he also laughed.
"Teacher Zhao is so good to you. I have never seen him care for a student like this before."
"Actually, no. Professor Zhao looks quite serious, but he's actually a warm-hearted person despite his cold exterior. He knew I wanted to study, but I didn't want to pursue a master's degree, so he even gave me a reading list."
“He’s never driven it for anyone else either,” Zhou Mukai said, a hint of bitterness in his voice.
After all, he had already started working on research projects with Professor Zhao Dezhong and was going to pursue graduate studies, yet he had never received such treatment before.
Lu Yanhe hooked his arm around Zhou Mukai's neck and said, "Don't be jealous."
Zhou Mukai had the word "get lost" on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed it back out of the restraint expected of a scholar.
-
After reading for two hours in the dormitory, Lu Yanhe and Zhou Mukai went to the cafeteria for dinner in the evening.
Zhou Mukai said, "It seems like the latest issue of 'Jump Up' is on sale. I'll go buy it later?"
Lu Yanhe said, "They'll send it to me. You're the editor, won't they send you a copy?"
"The copy they sent me was snatched by Xiuxiu, and they even changed the address to hers. I have to buy it myself," Zhou Mukai said helplessly.
Xiuxiu—Ning Xiu, his girlfriend.
Lu Yanhe: "Okay, let's go buy it."
Perhaps because Lu Yanhe has been appearing on campus frequently lately, this time when he walked through the cafeteria, people's reactions to him were noticeably less intense than before; they would just glance at him a couple more times.
Lu Yanhe got his food and turned around when he suddenly bumped into Wang Xiao and Lin Miaomiao, who were also eating in the cafeteria.
Lin Miaomiao was looking at Wang Xiao with an unhappy expression; it was unclear what had happened between the two of them.
"Hi." Lu Yanhe pretended not to notice the unpleasant atmosphere between them and greeted them.
Lin Miaomiao hummed in response and gave a weak "Hello."
Wang Xiao was a little embarrassed and said, "You're here to eat too?"
"Yes, senior."
Lin Miaomiao suddenly turned to look at Lu Yanhe, seemingly lost in thought.
"Lu Yanhe, let me ask you, would you go out alone with another girl without your girlfriend's permission?"
Lu Yanhe's eyes widened instantly as he looked at Wang Xiao in disbelief.
Wang Xiao immediately looked extremely aggrieved, "It's just about the Youth Association's work, don't misunderstand!"
Lu Yanhe let out a sigh of relief.
Lin Miaomiao immediately swept her gaze across the room.
"Maybe it really is just about work with the Youth Association, but she definitely has other intentions towards you. I have sharp eyes; no one's thoughts can escape my notice." Lin Miaomiao glared at Wang Xiao. "I don't believe she didn't use this opportunity to hint at something to you. The fact that you didn't tell me first shows you're guilty!"
Wang Xiao looked bitter and speechless.
"No, there really isn't!"
Lu Yanhe realized what was happening.
Damn it, how did I suddenly drag him into this couple's argument?
He looked around, trying to escape through Zhou Mukai.
But with so many people, Zhou Mukai was nowhere to be found.
Instead, many people around them were looking in their direction.
Let's eat melon seeds.
Lu Yanhe looked at the two of them awkwardly. He saw that Wang Xiao looked troubled and didn't know where to start. His expression didn't seem fake. Moreover, Wang Xiao usually had a lot of work that required him to go out with his classmates, so it was difficult for him to take care of so many things.
He said to Lin Miaomiao, "Have you ever considered that it's possible that the girl really did hint at something to Wang Xiao, but Wang Xiao didn't understand her hint at all? So, it's also possible that he wasn't hinted at?"
Lin Miaomiao paused for two seconds, then hesitantly let out an "Ah".
