Chapter 60 Coming to School
“It’s not that I’m brave; I didn’t even think about it for that split second,” Lu Yanhe said. “If it were you, you would have done the same.”
“That’s not necessarily true.” Li Zhibai immediately waved his hand. “I don’t think I’m that noble. In a crisis, I would definitely protect myself first.”
Lu Yanhe laughed.
Li Zhibai suddenly gave him a sly smile and asked, "Did Zhou Ping'an call you?"
"He called, so what? Right after you said you were coming back, he suddenly called me." Lu Yanhe pursed his lips. "I haven't received a call from him in ages."
Li Zhibai gave a knowing smile.
“After your news was published, Zhou Ping’an was stunned, and I happened to see it,” he said. “He was still repeatedly confirming with people whether it was someone with the same name as you, because he didn’t believe it was you.”
Lu Yanhe: "Maybe I burned down his ancestral graves in my past life, which is why he has such a big grudge against me and can't see anything good about me."
“You never know,” Li Zhibai said. “This matter has had a huge impact now. I walked around the company and everyone was talking about you. This kind of act of bravery that was praised by the police is such a positive thing.”
Yan Liang also said, "Ping An probably won't let you leave the company next week."
"He must be out of his mind to let Lao Lu leave at this time," Li Zhibai said. "Such a big thing has happened, Lao Lu, shouldn't you treat us to a meal?"
"I have no money, don't ask me to treat you." Lu Yanhe refused decisively without the slightest hesitation.
Yan Liang: "I told you long ago, he definitely wouldn't agree."
Li Zhibai sighed, "Alright, my treat. What shall we eat tonight?"
"Going outside again? Forget it, I'm not going." Lu Yanhe shook his head. "I've just recovered from this, and I don't want to go out."
“It’s fine if we don’t go out. We can order takeout and have it brought to our house,” Li Zhibai said.

Lu Yanhe's act of bravery made the news and became a trending topic.
Former idols are being seen again by some people, awakening some memories from the past.
"I remember him. I even voted for him."
"I never imagined he'd grown up so much. He was just a kid back then, but now he looks so handsome."
"Yeah, what has he been doing these past few years? I've never seen him again. Does he act? With a face like that, it's a shame he doesn't act."
...
There has been a surge of online discussion about Lu Yanhe.
Perhaps due to the surprise of Lu Yanhe, a once-popular idol, suddenly appearing in social news, Lu Yanhe has attracted a lot of attention and discussion.
His Weibo account was also found by many people.
In comparison, only a very small number of people were curious about what he had been doing in the past few years. Out of curiosity, they clicked into the few shows that Lu Yanhe had recorded, and after finding that the young man was extremely boring and had no sense of variety, they left with nothing of note.
Logically speaking, given Lu Yanhe's sudden surge in popularity, his agency should have seized the opportunity to promote him.
However, Lu Yanhe's agent is Zhou Ping'an, who recently advised Lu Yanhe to retire from the entertainment industry. It's impossible for him to turn around and promote Lu Yanhe again now.
Throughout the day, five or six TV programs approached Lu Yanhe, wanting to invite him to record an episode.
Zhou Ping'an was very conflicted.
Should we give Lu Yanhe a break?
If Lu Yanhe takes over, he can get a cut, but then he won't be able to explain it to Vice President Ma.
Vice President Ma specifically instructed him to find a way to sideline Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe is now trending on social media and attracting a lot of attention, but Zhou Pingan hasn't contacted Vice President Ma yet.
Whether or not he accepted the job, Zhou Ping'an didn't care about the commission.
Lu Yanhe's pay is very low. Even though the news event has made him popular, the production team will only give him 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. After deducting his share, he might only get a few thousand yuan.
But if he pushes away all these tasks, he'll be too obvious about it.
Even General Manager Hong specifically inquired about Lu Yanhe's recent work situation.
Regardless, we need to get Lu Yanhe two shows first.
After careful selection, Zhou Pingan arranged for Lu Yanhe to participate in two of the least popular programs.
-
Lu Yanhe received Zhou Pingan's message at 9 p.m.
The recordings for the two shows will take place next Wednesday evening and next Thursday afternoon; both are indoor variety shows.
A month ago, Lu Yanhe would have been so excited about recording these two shows that he couldn't sleep at night, but now he's a bit conflicted.
Zhou Pingan has already accepted both programs, and he has to go and record them.
But what about the future? If there are other jobs, will he still have to do them?
This means there's definitely no chance of getting into Zhenhua or Yuming schools.
Lu Yanhe tossed and turned all night, suffering from insomnia, which was rare for him.
On Monday morning, he went out with dark circles under his eyes.
The brighter the sun shines, the more listless he becomes.
Fortunately, young people are physically strong, and he regained his senses by the time he got to school.
Everyone in the school looked at him like he was some kind of exotic animal.
Lu Yanhe felt the long-lost aura of stardom.
When Lu Yanhe arrived at the classroom, he was scrutinized by his classmates, who asked him about the events of the previous day.
He was both amused and exasperated.
Li Pengfei arrived and, seeing Lu Yanhe surrounded by a group of people, immediately dispersed them.
"Are you all just bored? You've all memorized the vocabulary words Old Chen assigned? Don't delay Lu Yanhe's studies."
Everyone was criticizing him while rolling their eyes at him.
But Li Pengfei resolutely drove them away.
"Am I a good friend?" Li Pengfei said, trying to take credit after shooing the people away.
Lu Yanhe cupped his hands in greeting and said, "You're kind."
"I'm honest, you're awesome." Li Pengfei chuckled. "Damn, I was stunned when I saw the news."
Lu Yanhe waved his hand: "I really don't want to talk about this anymore. Let me calm down first. I was questioned for ten minutes straight, and my head is about to explode."
Li Pengfei slapped Lu Yanhe on the shoulder.
"Take your time."
His eyes darted around and found Luo Zicheng, who was sitting in his seat, looking intently at a book.
cut!
They were acting so serious, but who knows how much they were actually curiously observing them!
Li Pengfei sat down, took out his English book, and recited the words from memory.
Tsk tsk, I've basically memorized it all.
Wow, Li Pengfei! You used to dislike studying, but now that you've started, your progress is incredible!
He mentally praised himself highly.
"Hey, Li Pengfei, you've really changed your ways and started reading books?" Chu Saiying's sarcastic voice rang out behind him.
Li Pengfei frowned and turned to look at him.
"none of your business."
Chu Saiying shrugged and said, "I was surprised and couldn't help but sigh. You can pretend you didn't hear me."
