Chapter 42 Schools and Companies
Physical education class.
Chen Qin picked up the ball from the ground and put it in the basket.
Lu Yanhe came over carrying another ball.
"Everything's ready. We can put it back in the equipment room now," Lu Yanhe said.
Chen Qin nodded.
The two of them pushed the basket cart together to the equipment room under the covered playground.
"Thank you," Lu Yanhe suddenly said.
Chen Qin pursed his lips and said, "There's nothing to thank me for. I don't like Luo Zicheng myself."
"Alright."
"I didn't expect you to stand up for Li Pengfei."
"No, not exactly." Lu Yanhe laughed. "Just like you, I just can't stand Luo Zicheng."
“It seems there are quite a few people who can’t stand this idiot,” Chen Qin said. “He implied that Li Pengfei’s family is rich, which is why he dares to be so arrogant. He himself is only able to get extra tutoring from his teachers because his father works in the municipal government. It’s a pity that his brain isn’t developed properly, and even with extra tutoring, he still won’t become smart.”
Lu Yanhe: "You... can be quite sharp-tongued."
Chen Qin instructed, "Don't tell Lin Yu, she doesn't like it."
"Um."
After putting the things away and locking the door, Chen Qin asked, "Want to go to the convenience store? I'll buy you a Coke."
"Sure."
The rain has stopped, but the sun has not yet come out.
There was also standing water on the roadside.
Chen Qin and Lu Yanhe didn't have much to say to each other, since they weren't familiar with each other. If it weren't for Lin Yu, they probably wouldn't have exchanged a single word.
"Do the teachers know about your relationship with Linyu?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Chen Qin glanced at him sideways: "If you have nothing to talk about, don't force it."
"oh."
After a couple of seconds, Chen Qin began to speak: "They probably know, but no one has come to talk to us about it."
"It seems I trust both of you."
"Maybe."
Do your parents know?
“I guess they know, but they haven’t talked to us about it directly,” Chen Qin said. “Maybe the teachers have spoken to them. It’s senior year, and trying to break us up at this time would easily cause us to rebel. Anyway, we’re both in a stable state right now, and our grades are stable too, so let’s just keep it this way and talk about it after the college entrance exam.”
Lu Yanhe: "Only good students get preferential treatment like this."
"Don't be envious of our preferential treatment. You get the most preferential treatment in the whole class," Chen Qin complained.
Lu Yanhe was unable to refute it for a moment.
Because of his status as a celebrity, he did receive a lot of preferential treatment.
"To be honest, I'm still shocked and surprised that you're going to take the college entrance exam with us. We haven't said it out loud, but we've all been a little envious of you. You don't have to come to school every day, and you don't have to carry the expectations of your parents and teachers like we do. You started working early, and you're a celebrity."
"You have a misunderstanding about me. What kind of star am I, a celebrity who has faded into obscurity not long after my debut?" Lu Yanhe laughed self-deprecatingly. "But no matter what I say, there are definitely many people who won't believe me. Oh well, I'll just keep working hard and try to make a comeback in the future."
Chen Qin: "You're quite impressive. You said you'd start studying and you actually started. Many people only get a little hyped up for a day or two and then give up."
“I had no way out, otherwise who would want to persevere?” Lu Yanhe said. “So, thank you and Lin Yu for your help. At least you are here to guide me, so I don’t have to figure everything out on my own.”
Many of the knowledge points and test points were compiled for him by Lin Yu and Chen Qin.
"I'm thinking about my wallet. Don't let Li Pengfei really surpass you, or I'll be bleeding money." Chen Qin regretted the bet as soon as he thought about it.
Lu Yanhe laughed.

Star Entertainment Agency's building is located in the famous Sanjingkou area.
In Yuming City, Sanjingkou is one of the most famous and prosperous CBD areas, where land is truly incredibly valuable.
Frankly, many people don't understand why a brokerage firm would choose to open in such a prime location.
For a brokerage firm, this is actually unnecessary.
However, Star Entertainment never cares about this rent because the company has a boss who doesn't care about it.
He never expected this company to make him a lot of money; he didn't need this company to make money for him.
The entertainment industry has such a small market capitalization.
He started this company purely to please his girlfriend, who was a talent agent. Then, the company was established. Then, he broke up with his girlfriend. Then, he hired a manager to run the company and never touched it again.
"Our Star Entertainment agency doesn't support idlers." Zhou Ping'an said to the young boys in front of him with a serious expression, "Since your group debuted, you've been lukewarm at best, and now it's time to disband. How you develop after that is up to you. I've said before that by the end of this year, I will decide which three I will continue to manage. The rest of you will either be taken over by other agents in the company, or you'll have to fend for yourselves. It's cruel, but that's how the entertainment industry is. If you're not famous, you have no value."
Yan Liang and Li Zhibai stood among the boys. Yan Liang looked down at the tips of his shoes, while Li Zhibai looked at Zhou Ping'an with an arrogant expression.
“Lu Yanhe is the first to be eliminated. He doesn’t even have a chance to compete for these three spots. You all should make the most of your opportunities.”
"Brother Ping An, do you mean we can contact other agents now?" Li Zhibai asked immediately.
Zhou Pingan glared at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I'd give up on you? As long as you cause less trouble, with your popularity, the company will arrange for you to act in a movie next year."
The others' expressions changed instantly.
Zhou Ping'an's meaning was quite clear.
Of these three spots, Li Zhibai will definitely be one of them, leaving only two spots for them to compete for.
Six people are competing for two spots, and four of them will be eliminated.
Yan Liang estimated his ranking in Zhou Ping'an's heart and couldn't help but feel somewhat pessimistic.
In terms of popularity, he's not in the top tier, and he doesn't have absolute confidence in his future development potential. Whether Zhou Ping'an will keep him is truly an unknown.
Of course, they all wanted to stay under Zhou Ping'an's command.
After all, Zhou Ping'an is one of the company's most capable agents.
If Zhou Ping'an doesn't want them anymore, why would other agents be willing to accept them? Those who are willing to accept them are probably just ordinary agents.
They had all been with Xingyu for three years and had some understanding of the company's situation.
If they went to work for an ordinary agent, they might become the next Lu Yanhe.
Without resources, without job opportunities, and without even the chance to appear in public, they can only watch helplessly as they fade into obscurity.
