Chapter 82 Chapter 82 Meeting
After seeing these press releases, Shen Sisi speculated about people's hearts with the greatest malice.
Lu Yao's appearance itself has aroused the fear of countless people. During this period, Lu Yao has been on the hot search list crazily. There are not many good things about him, but a lot of bad things.
After the verdict came out a few days ago, the marketing account was as quiet as a chicken. Now it suddenly pops up. Are they trying to show goodwill to Lu Yao?
How is that possible?
She forwarded the Weibo posts of these marketing accounts into the group and started discussing with a group of sisters.
No matter what these marketing accounts want to do, the negative reviews that Lu Yao has received again in recent days are definitely related to them, or they are the work of the water army companies behind these marketing accounts.
They are in the marketing business, so aren't those trending comments that you see everywhere exactly what they do?
The fights between fans happened some time ago when they were frantically controlling the comments, but the style of these negative comments now is completely different from that time.
Unlike its rivals, it is more like a specialized machine that automatically triggers comments and replies after capturing keywords. This also explains why there are comments below newly uploaded videos or posts with very poor data.
With these cyber creatures in front, marketing accounts start praising Lu Yao right after?
No matter how I think about it, it doesn't seem right.
There are problems no matter how you look at it.
After discussion, Shen Sisi and her sisters in the data group decided to lower public expectations regarding the exam.
After Lu Yao's school test results were revealed, many fans have been saying this in the past two months. After learning that Lu Yao is a professional chess player and that he has performed well recently, the fans are even happier.
He thinks he is handsome, good at singing and dancing, and has excellent grades. How can he not make his fans proud?
But now that the marketing accounts have been eliminated, we are afraid that this kind of trend will be set in motion. If Lu Yao performs slightly worse in the future, it may cause a backlash.
Isn’t this an unexpected disaster?
Soon, Shen Sisi and her sisters came to a conclusion after discussion.
A big account from the data group issued a statement on Weibo, detailing Lu Yao's busy schedule and calling on everyone not to portray Lu Yao as a top student and to lower psychological expectations. No matter what Lu Yao's grades are, he is now a trainee and his job is to practice. The grades are just icing on the cake.
With the call from the data group, fans have also responded that some characters can be established, but some characters will cause more harm than good, so it is better not to mention them.
They began to reply in the comment section under the marketing account, explaining that Lu Yao was not a nerd, but the comments of a real person were still slightly insufficient in direct confrontation with the cyber life forms and were drowned in the vast army.
So, amid the fans' nervousness, it was time for Lu Yao's midterm exam.
There was no competition scheduled, so Lu Yao took a pen and paper and got into Li Qiang's car early in the morning.
This is his second time coming to school.
The first time I came to school was for reporting and the opening test, the second time was for the midterm exam, and every time was an exam.
It is foreseeable that the third time I come to school will probably be for the final exam.
The head teacher had already sent the seating chart to the class group, and Lu Yao now went directly to his examination room according to the seating arrangement.
Although he missed the last monthly exam, Lu Yao was still assigned seat number one in the first examination room because of his trainee status and the test results at the beginning of the semester.
When the students in the first examination room walked into the classroom, they couldn't help but look down at the first seat next to the classroom door, where the words "Lu Yao" were clearly visible.
Since the start of school, I have only heard of Lu Yao but never seen him. Will I finally meet him today?
Over the years, many trainees from Minghui Entertainment have enrolled in this school.
The trainee's grades are not good enough to get into a good high school, but at the same time he can't go directly to a too bad private school. Comparing the two, this school is the best choice.
But among so many trainees, Lu Yao's performance is the best one.
At the same time, Lu Yao's presence during this period was really too high.
As soon as they go online, they find information about Lu Yao everywhere.
The previous one was a medley of Lu Yao’s stage performances, the next one was Lu Yao winning another game, and after watching a few more, I saw fans making comments expressing their sympathy for Lu Yao’s injury.
How should I put it, it's really curious.
As often asked in trending comments, how can a 14-year-old boy be both a professional Go player and a trainee, and even achieve some success in both? And also have decent academic performance?
Everyone is curious, really very curious.
Finally, under the expectant gaze of the students and accompanied by the ringing bell, Lu Yao walked into the examination room.
"Wow!"
Uncontrollable exclamations suddenly rang out in the classroom.
Beautiful, really beautiful.
Someone kept staring at Lu Yao until Lu Yao sat down and he could only see Lu Yao's back, then he suddenly came to his senses.
No, how could there be someone in this world who looks so delicate?
It's like a game model, too perfect to be real.
This is too scary.
Lu Yao acted as if he didn't hear the voices or feel the gazes in the classroom. He sat down in his seat, took out a pen, and waited for the exam to begin.
The invigilator stood at the podium and coughed lightly, signaling everyone to come back to their senses, and then began to distribute the test papers.
This exam was destined to be turbulent. Although the students could not see Lu Yao's face because his seat was number one in the row, the number one seat also meant that they could see Lu Yao every time they looked up.
How does that saying go? Being handsome is a feeling.
Now Lu Yao exudes this feeling all over his body.
Not to mention that Lu Yao is really handsome.
They can’t see the face now, but they can imagine it.
Recall the moment when Lu Yao walked into the classroom, then recall the Lu Yao you saw in the video, and then combine it with the Lu Yao who is now sitting in his seat doing questions.
Oh my god, this is so handsome.
Some people hold a pen in their hands, but their minds are elsewhere.
It was not until the invigilator walked around the classroom and reminded everyone to do the questions that the distracted students finally woke up and started answering the questions.
After three days of exams, the teachers worked overtime to mark the papers, and the students were still restless.
It’s not that I’m worried about my grades like before, but I’ve flown somewhere else.
【Luyao exam repo】
——
Main Building
Wow, I have studied hard and made progress every day since I was a child. This time, I deserve to be able to take the exam in the same examination room with Lu Yao!
I just got my phone back from the exam room, and I'm still quite emotional. Please allow me to sort out my thoughts before replying.
[1st floor]
After surfing the Internet for a long time, you can see all the repos.
【2nd floor】
Stayed here, waiting for the host to come back
【3rd floor】
Wow what is this what is this
…
[19th floor] OP
I'm back! I'm a Lu Yao fan, so please don't leave any bad replies. I'll delete them after I see them.
Ok, now let’s start the repo!
I've actually met Xiaolu once before, before school started. I went to breakfast and happened to see them recording some material. I was instantly drawn to him! I searched for him after returning home and became his fan! So when school started, I realized we were in the same class. I was so happy I went crazy.
Although Xiaolu has never come to school to attend classes, I was very happy when I saw Xiaolu's name in the class group.
Cough cough cough, I’ve gone too far, let’s get back to the topic.
When I saw Xiaolu on the seating chart this time, I was excited and couldn’t believe it. It was not until the day before the exam that the teacher reminded me, and then I really believed that Xiaolu was going to take the exam. I was going to see Xiaolu again.
But before the day of the exam, the author was still very nervous. Until the exam started, Xiaolu really walked into the examination room and stood at the classroom door. At that moment, the author's mood was simply indescribable. He just felt that all his hard work over the years had paid off.
20th Floor
Wow, the OP has actually met Lu Yao and is in the same class with him. How lucky!
21st floor
Follow the host's star-chasing luck
22nd Floor
I actually ran into them recording some materials. How lucky I am! When will I be able to run into them recording some materials?
23rd Floor
What is Xiaolu like in person? Is he handsome?
…
【34th floor】Owner
Xiaolu is incredibly handsome in person! Much more handsome than he appears in his profile! Super, super handsome! No, not handsome, but exquisite! Super exquisite! His skin is incredibly white and delicate, with no visible pores at all. His eyes are incredibly large, dark and bright! His face is so small, it feels like it could be completely covered by a palm! And he's not short at all! He's definitely over 170cm tall!
Also, Xiaolu has a lot of hair, and the hair quality is very good, black, shiny and smooth, unlike the OP's hair, which is dry, split and yellow [crying] Xiaolu, can you give me some of your hair?
【35th Floor】
Is she that good looking?
36th Floor
Hahahaha hair
37th Floor
Lu Yao's hair is indeed very good. You can see it in his daily materials. I really want to ask how he maintains it. Is there any special secret?
…
【47th floor】Owner
Xiaolu was wearing his light blue and white outfit today, which was very refreshing. He looked so gentle and kind (although he had a blank expression on his face the whole time). Xiaolu's temperament was really special, completely different from others.
Then the exam began. After the exam started, the author concentrated on answering the questions and didn't look at Xiaolu much. But occasionally when he looked up, he could see that Xiaolu was also concentrating on answering the questions. He was very serious and kept writing, and he wrote very fast.
His sitting posture is also very straight, and a photo of him is so good that it can be put into a textbook.
The above is the repo of the Xiaolu test. There is nothing much here, but it is more of a record of my memories of this test. I will remember it for the rest of my life! [crying]
【48th Floor】
Thank you for your hard work, OP.
49th Floor
How did Lu Yao do in the exam?
【50th floor】Owner
Reply [49th floor]
The results are not out yet
[51st floor]
I saw some photos taken by fans outside the venue, saying that Lu Yao always left after a few minutes. Did he hand in his paper early?
【52nd floor】Owner
Reply [51st floor]
Yes, each exam only took about 40 minutes.
53rd Floor
Forty minutes... this is too short. Even if it's just a casual test, you should show your attitude. If you hand in the paper after forty minutes, you might as well not take the test at all.
【54th floor】Owner
Reply [53F]
Lu Yao doesn't take tests casually; he takes every one of them seriously.
55th Floor
Reply [54th floor]
Did you take the exam seriously when you submitted the paper so early? Are you going to use the term "genius" to make a fuss again? If I were you, I would say Lu Yao shouldn't have taken the exam. It's normal to do well in the exam, but you will be scolded if you don't do well.

Fans were worried about Lu Yao's results, and the trainees who had finished their midterm exams also rushed to the company.
After the exam, everyone was in a good mood. Although they were worried about their grades, there was no point in worrying now, so they shifted their attention elsewhere.
The most effective distraction right now is Wang Mingzhi’s 18th birthday on Saturday.
Last weekend, the company filmed Wang Mingzhi's birthday materials, which will be released on Wang Mingzhi's birthday this Saturday. Although we had already wished Wang Mingzhi a happy birthday during the recording, he is eighteen years old after all, a very important day, so everyone is also discussing celebrating together again.
Luo Wenbo first looked over the company's class schedule for Saturday. "One class in the morning, two classes in the afternoon. We can find a place to go out and play in the evening."
Wang Mingzhi was very excited and looked at his own schedule: "I don't have any classes in the evening, so I can go out."
After looking at his own, he went to look at others, "Xiao Qiuqiu, what about you?"
Qiu Yuge remembered his class schedule very clearly. "I have a class tonight, but it ends at 8:30. I can come find you after that."
Wang Mingzhi nodded: "That's fine. Anyway, the day after tomorrow is Sunday and we don't have to go to school. It doesn't matter if we're late."
Qiu Yuge agreed: "Yes."
Wang Mingzhi looked at the others again.
Cong An raised his hand first: "I'm with Qiu Yuge."
This is what it means to go after class.
Lu Jianian met Wang Mingzhi's gaze and nodded indifferently, "I don't have classes tonight, I'll go with you."
Wang Mingzhi asked this question to everyone present. He didn't plan to ask Lu Yao who was not present. Bai You, Wu Anyi, Jiang Mu and others could send messages to ask.
After checking the time, the next step is to confirm the project. At night, it needs to be secluded, safe, and fun. What projects can we do?
Before Wang Mingzhi could come up with a plan, his thoughts were interrupted. In the group chat, Ding Ling tagged everyone and asked them to gather in the conference room.
So the group quickly packed up and rushed to the conference room.
There are not many meeting rooms above the third floor of Minghui Entertainment. Apart from two or three small ones, there is this large meeting room that can seat forty or fifty people.
When Lu Yao arrived at the conference room, there were already quite a few people sitting inside. Ding Ling and several common staff members sat in the first row, and the trainees were already sitting in the back row.
Everyone silently squeezed to the back, and the row behind Ding Ling became empty.
Lu Yao went over and sat in the corner of the second row.
Soon, all fifteen trainees except Yin Hongxue arrived.
Ding Ling glanced back and said, "I called everyone here today to have a simple meeting. Mr. He has something to say to you."
As soon as the words fell, the conference room suddenly began to whisper.
Mr. He? He Zheng?
Everyone looked at each other, their expressions somewhat nervous.
After all those years as a trainee at Minghui Entertainment, who wouldn't be unfamiliar with the company's top boss, Su Junliang, and second-in-command, He Zheng? Now the second-in-command was coming to a meeting... A wave of nervousness washed over the employees, as if they were facing a powerful boss. Everyone immediately sat up straight.
Not long after, footsteps were heard outside the conference room, and then the door was pushed open, and He Zheng arrived late.
He Zheng is younger than Su Junliang. He is just in his early fifties. He has a buzz cut, is slightly fat, and is serious, which makes him look a little scary.
He walked to his seat on the stage and sat down, facing the crowd. He glanced at the silent trainees and slowly spoke: "Today's meeting is mainly to discuss the debut plan."
"The first phase has ended, and the second phase of the debut variety show recording is about to begin."
"In just one month, recording will begin on December 1st and will last for 49 days. One month after the recording ends, that is, in March of next year, a group concert will be held to officially announce the debut of the fifth-generation boy group."
Upon hearing this, although the trainees did not speak, their shaking eyes revealed their inner turmoil at the moment.
He Zheng continued, "Although I haven't communicated with you like this in recent years, I have always been paying attention to you, and I am aware of what has happened in the past few months."
"I know you're pressed for time and under a lot of pressure, and you might be feeling a little uncomfortable mentally, just like some of you aren't here right now. However, there can be no mistakes during the debut variety show." He Zheng's tone was serious, and his words were serious, making his stance clear. "I hope you understand why the company has invested so much resources in your debut project. It's to help you adjust to the transition from trainee to artist in advance."
"Tension, pressure, and competition are all things you must overcome on your own. The company can provide you with help, but it can't always help you. The company has spent so much time and energy training you, not to produce a bunch of giant babies."
Ding Ling's expression changed slightly, but He Zheng continued.
"After your debut, you will face an entertainment industry that is much more brutal than the current one. Competition, elimination, and pressure. If you can't handle it, how can you survive in the entertainment industry?"
"By crying now?"
WHAT?
Ding Ling couldn't help but open her eyes wide, unable to believe what she heard.
What bullshit is He Zheng talking about.
Ding Ling was about to speak when a shrill voice suddenly sounded behind her.
That's the friction between the chair and the ground.
"squeak--"
She looked back and saw Lu Yao standing up.
"Mr. He, I have something to say."
He Zheng looked over and said, "Lu Yao, I recognize you. What do you want to say?"
Lu Yao stood there, his expression not as nervous as other trainees, but very calm.
He said, "I have the following objections to what you just said."
"First, you said that the debut project is to help trainees adapt to the change in their roles. However, in the past three months, based on my observations, apart from the artificially created high-pressure environment and tense atmosphere, I haven't seen any guidance from the company regarding the transition. Therefore, I am skeptical of your statement."
"Secondly, you said the company invested a lot of resources in creating our debut plan. Is this the company's contribution to us? If so, I would like to point out that the relationship between the company and the trainees is a business relationship. Training trainees is a business activity of the company. Business activities inevitably carry risks. Regardless of the final outcome, these risks cannot be passed on to the trainees."
"Third, you said the company can't always help us. But as I just said, the relationship between the company and the trainees is a business one. What the company provides isn't help, but rather tasks written down in black and white in the contract that must be completed. The company doesn't provide help for free; the trainees have also put in the work for it. So, by specifically bringing this up, are you trying to breach the contract?"
Wow.
Ding Ling silently closed her mouth which had opened at some point.
Lu Yao's tone sounded calm, but to Ding Ling it sounded sarcastic.
Qiu Yuge opened his eyes wide, looking at Lu Yao and then at He Zheng, watching He Zheng's face getting darker and darker as Lu Yao talked. When Lu Yao finished talking, he put his face next to the bottom of the pot, and he couldn't tell which one was darker.
Lu Jianian only hated himself for not being able to become invisible. He felt that he would die the next second if he sat there.
Cangzi bit his lips until they hurt before he could control his expression.
It seems that Lu Yao didn't just speak so arrogantly to them, he was also true to He Zheng.
Zhu Xiangming's mind stopped working as soon as Lu Yao started talking.
No, what is Lu Yao doing?
No, this matter seems to have been strange since Mr. He started.
He Zheng was saying something inexplicable, and then Lu Yao just confronted him?
Cong'an didn't dare to raise his head, just staring at the table, and was full of admiration for Lu Yao.
What is a warrior? This is a warrior!
He Zheng was stunned for a long time and didn't react. He really didn't expect that someone would stand up and refute him directly like this.
Even the one who refuted him was just a trainee.
He raised his hand angrily, pointed at Lu Yao and was about to speak.
Lu Yao's voice rang out first: "If you don't have anything to say, I'll leave first."
After saying that, Lu Yao left the meeting room without waiting for He Zheng's response.
shock!
At this moment, everyone looked at Lu Yao's back as he left, as if they were looking at an alien.
The meeting ended in a bad mood.
When Ding Ling found He Zheng, He Zheng was sneering in her office.
Seeing Ding Ling coming back, he laughed out loud: "Is this the fifth generation of you and Su Junliang? Very good, I want to see what kind of group you can launch."
Ding Ling put on a smile. "That's okay, Mr. He. I wanted to ask you, you said we'd have a meeting to sync up the debut battle. Is that how we do it?"
He Zheng: "I see you fifth-generation trainees are having it too easy. At this critical juncture, you just say you won't come to training. I'm going to give them a heads up, so that after you debut, if you encounter an event you don't want to go to, you won't just say no."
Ding Ling took a deep breath and said, "We will naturally take care of these things. It would be better for you to take good care of your fourth generation."
"Ha." He Zheng's smile faded. "I want to see how you and Su Junliang can manage the fifth generation. I'm really looking forward to Minghui Entertainment's fifth generation boy group. You have to work hard and make some achievements to open my eyes."
After saying that, he walked past Ding Ling and was about to leave. Suddenly, he remembered something, stopped, and turned to look at Ding Ling. "By the way, have the debut members been decided? I'll give you a piece of advice from an elder. You should be careful with Lu Yao. He looks very dangerous."
"An artist who is out of control, is this what you and Su Junliang want?"
After saying that, He Zheng left the office without waiting for Ding Ling's response.
Only Ding Ling was left standing alone in the office, thinking about what He Zheng had just said, her face flickering.
