Chapter 167: Cheap Relatives Are Being Tried
It is already hot in Yuming in June.
Even though it was eight o'clock in the morning, the sun was already as hot as a furnace, shrouding the entire city in an unshieldable heat wave.
This city has its international and modern side, as well as its ancient and backward corner.
Everyone says that every inch of land in Yuming is precious, as if there is gold buried under every floor tile.
But only if you measure this land with your own feet will you be surprised to discover its not-so-good side.
-
Leming Hotel is a small restaurant opened in the old city. The owner is He Bangan.
The surrounding stores don't like this person very much because he has a bad temper and is stingy.
However, He Bangan has been opening a store here for a long time.
He rode a motorcycle and stopped in front of his house. He took down several large packages of meat and vegetables and carried them to his store.
"Oh, you are finally back!" A woman with a plump figure and gaudy clothes saw him and hurriedly walked out, "Don't be busy yet, do you understand?"
He Bangan frowned, "What do you know?"
Fengxiu is He Bangan's wife. One look at him and he knew that he must not know about it.
"It was said in the news just now that that kid Lu Yanhe scored 657 points in the college entrance examination! Ranked 13th in the entire Yuming City!" Fengxiu's eyes were shining, "I didn't expect that you brought him out before. Is this kid’s grades so good?”
When He Bangan heard this, his first reaction was: "Did you hear wrongly? His grades are not very good."
Fengxiu immediately took out his mobile phone and handed it to He Bangan.
“See for yourself, is it your nephew!”
He Bangan took the phone and took a look, wow, it’s true!
“This kid is very lucky, I thought he was really useless.” A shrewd smile appeared in He Bangan’s small eyes, “It’s not in vain that I brought him to Yuming.”
Fengxiu slapped him hard, "I asked you to bring the person back, but you refused. Now that the person is destined to be prosperous, what do you think we should do?"
He Bangan immediately scolded: " You mother-in-law, don’t you recognize me as your uncle now that you are rich?”< br>
Fengxiu smiled lightly and said, "That's not necessarily true. When someone becomes prosperous in the future, he might not recognize you as my uncle."
"He dares!" He Ban Gan cursed first, but felt a little weak in his heart.
In the past two years, he has not contacted Lu Yanhe much.
At that time, I thought, this guy is useless, he can't be an artist, he can't make money, and he will be the one holding him back later.
So, He Bangan didn’t even let him come over for the New Year’s Eve dinner, for fear that Lu Yanhe would miss him and come back.
Then there will be one more mouth to eat in the family.
I didn’t expect that this kid got such a high score in the exam without saying anything!
Didn’t Zhenhua and Yuming choose this randomly?
"Where is Le Ming? Where is he?" He Bangan immediately asked about his son.
Fengxiu said: "Where else can he be? Of course he is at school at this time!"
He Bangan: "Let him go with me to meet his brother tonight."
Fengxiu: "..."
-
Star Entertainment.
Vice President Ma was sitting in his office, looking at the reports about Lu Yanhe on the computer screen, his face visibly ugly.
Since Lu Yanhe’s results came out, he has received inquiries and congratulations from many people. Many people are even sincerely jealous of him - such a fairy figure has appeared in his company, and he is the only one in the entertainment industry. One, of course, is jealous.
Only Vice President Ma himself knows that this is not the situation he wants to see at all.
Due to Chen Ziyan’s special status in Star Entertainment, especially Lu Yanhe’s previous termination and contract signing with the company, Lu Yanhe is no longer considered an artist under him.
He couldn't care less about Lu Yanhe.
Who could have imagined that this kid would soar into the sky?
Vice President Ma is very depressed.
But at this moment, Vice President Ma was somewhat lucky. Fortunately, Lu Yanhe was still in the company.
Otherwise, if Lu Yanhe had just terminated his contract with Star Entertainment and got such a score, Star Entertainment would become everyone’s joke.
When the time comes, can he be alone?
Vice President Ma himself has Hong Qi above him.
Although this guy doesn't take care of things very much, he and Chen Ziyan are the only two people in the company who are really familiar with the big boss behind the scenes.
Vice President Ma has never even met the big boss until now.
If such a public scandal occurs, Vice President Ma believes that he may be scolded by Hong Qi immediately.
Today, Star Entertainment is no longer the grassroots team it was when it was first established.
It’s just that now that Lu Yanhe is making such a big fuss and the whole Internet knows about it, that person is probably going to be furious.
If it weren't for that person, he wouldn't have driven Lu Yanhe away before.
-
While everyone around him was shocked by his college entrance examination score, Lu Yanhe regained his composure from the initial ecstasy.
The college entrance examination is over, and he will still be filming later.
"Golden Age" has officially announced his appearance, which has attracted a lot of attention.
It’s just that the people who are paying attention to him now are basically because of his college entrance examination results, so the fact that he will star in this drama has not caused many people to discuss it.
This is his first play.
Lu Yanhe worked hard and focused on performing well.
However, with the results of the college entrance examination coming out, the acting classes arranged by Chen Ziyan for him are coming to an end.
After He Shuyi finished teaching him today's class, she told him that the class was over.
"You will have to join a group and continue learning later. I will just guide you to get started first, and you will have to rely on yourself later." She warned, "Don't develop a habitual performance mode for yourself. Performance is not that simple. If you deal with it, it will deal with you, so work hard."
While Lu Yanhe was surprised, he was also a little reluctant to let go of He Shuyi.
“Teacher He, are there no classes anymore?”
"No more for now." He Shuyi said with a smile, "This is what I decided after discussing with Zi Yan. Of course I can teach you more, but it will not be conducive to your understanding of the performance. I don't want you to be too deeply influenced by me. You have to Explore for yourself, especially Director Luo Yuzhong, who is very good at training actors. You can learn more if you keep a blank slate."
Lu Yanhe nodded reluctantly.
"Okay."
He asked: "Then when I don't know how to deal with it, can I still ask you?"
"Of course." He Shuyi Nodding, "I'm very optimistic about you, come on, future actor!"
Lu Yanhe had a look of astonishment on his face.
He is still not used to being praised like this.
After class, Lu Yanhe went to Chen Ziyan's office to find her.
“Dong Dong.”
He knocked on the door.
"Come in." Chen Ziyan's voice sounded.
Lu Yanhe opened the door, "Sister Ziyan, the class is over."
"The class is over?" Chen Ziyan asked.
"Well, you suddenly told me that the class will be over after today." Lu Yanhe was a little confused because he was caught off guard.
“I decided after communicating with them that I will continue to ask them to teach you at different stages in the future, but it is not appropriate to teach you too many things when you first come into contact with acting. "Chen Ziyan explained, "They are all very experienced acting teachers. You may not understand many things now, but when you don't understand, you won't go wrong by listening to experienced people first."
"Yeah." Lu Yanhe nodded.
Chen Ziyan suddenly smiled and said: "There is another happy event today."
"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was a little surprised and asked, "What happy event?"
""Young" "The date has been set, Chen Biqiu decided to invite you and gave up on Ma Zhiyuan." Zi Yan laughed, "I guess this is because you were so popular on the Internet yesterday. They didn't dare to delay it any longer. In fact, I received messages from more than a dozen producers today, asking you to appear on the show."
The number of invitations to program recordings is the indicator that best reflects an artist’s recent popularity.
Lu Yanhe smiled sheepishly.
"But there is another point. You are also taking advantage of Li Zhibai." Chen Ziyan said, "He told Chen Biqiu very clearly that as long as they invite Ma Zhiyuan, he will quit. So, you are not alone. It was you and Li who upset Ma Zhiyuan Zhi Bai defeated Ma Zhiyuan together, don't be too proud, don't be arrogant."
Lu Yanhe immediately nodded and said, "I won't be arrogant tonight."
" Are there any arrangements?" Chen Ziyan asked suddenly. "Tonight? No, what's wrong?" Lu Yanhe asked.
"If you don't have any arrangements, come with me to have dinner. I don't have any arrangements tonight and I don't want to eat alone." Chen Ziyan said.
"Oh." Lu Yanhe nodded, "Then I'll tell Li Zhibai and the others not to go back for dinner tonight."
"When do you plan to move out from their place?" Chen Ziyan stood up and packed her things, throwing various small items into her bag.
"I had already said that I would move, but because Li Zhenzhen wanted to observe our living conditions before, I stopped moving, and Zhou Ping'an never urged me to move." Lu Yanhe actually didn't really want to move, " Anyway, I’m going to change my place after school starts. If I can’t move, I want to continue living here this summer, okay?”
“Of course, as long as Zhou Ping’an doesn’t kick you out.”
Lu Yanhe thought to himself, he just accidentally helped Zhou Ping'an's mother a few days ago, he shouldn't kick her out in cold blood again, right? -
If it weren't for the cold-blooded fear of driving people out directly, Li Zhibai really didn't want to let them in.
Li Zhibai's face was extremely dark, and he looked at He Bangan and He Leming who were sitting on the sofa.
For the father and son, one looked sly and the other looked silly and rude.
Ten minutes ago, the two of them rang the doorbell and wanted to see Lu Yanhe.
Li Zhibai met them once and knew that they were Lu Yanhe's uncle and brother.
Who knew that these two people had never contacted Lu Yanhe before coming here.
“Who knew you were coming without even saying hello?” Li Zhibai looked at them impatiently.
The two of them had ignored Lu Yanhe for the past two years, and Li Zhibai knew very well.
Li Zhibai didn’t have a good relationship with Lu Yanhe before, so he never took any care of him.
The year has become familiar recently, and Li Zhibai has asked several times why Lu Yanhe clearly has an uncle, but he doesn't even go back during the New Year?
Lu Yanhe is outspoken and has little affection for each other. They are afraid that he will become a drag, and he does not want to drag them down. It is best not to disturb each other.
If Li Zhibai hadn’t seen with his own eyes that Lu Yanhe had lived here for three years, his uncle’s family had come a few times in the first month when they moved in, and never showed up again. Li Zhibai heard that Lu Yanhe's words made everyone feel that Lu Yanhe was too cold.
This is simply not the case.
Zhou Ping'an buried Lu Yanhe in front of the Fengzhi members, saying that his relatives were embarrassing and tried to ask for money from him several times.
How could a tough guy like Zhou Ping'an let anyone ask for money?
After scolding the person, he scolded the person back without saying a word, and even ran against Lu Yanhe. Li Zhibai and Yan Liang both knew about this.
He suddenly came to your door now?
Yan Liang came back from buying dinner at a restaurant. When he saw the situation in the room, he was not as mean as Li Zhibai at ordinary times. As soon as he opened his mouth, he sarcastically said: "Hey, as soon as the college entrance examination scores come out, Lao Lu, Why is a cheap relative who has not been seen once in eight hundred years suddenly appeared?"
Compared with Li Zhibai, Yan Liang hated Lu Yanhe's uncle even more.
Because he once had several relatives who wanted to seduce Qiu Feng. When they found out that he had become a star, they all came to his house to borrow money.
When they had no money to borrow, they changed their faces and kept saying, "You have become a star, how can you have no money?" !
If you really care about Lu Yanhe, where do you usually go?
He Bangan's face suddenly turned ugly after being squeezed by Yan Liang.
"How do you, a young man, talk? What do you mean by cheap relatives?"
"Isn't it cheap?" Yan Liang didn't even think about it. He opened his mouth and said, "The last time I saw you was three years ago, right? Relatives who see you once every three years are not cheap relatives. What are they?"
He Ban Gan's face was really red but he couldn't come up with an explanation. In the past two years, he really hadn't come to see Lu Yanhe once.
Knowing that he was not doing well as an artist, I was afraid that he would go back and be raised by them, so I didn’t even call him.
"This is not your debut as a star. I'm afraid of disturbing Yan He. He is my nephew. How can I not care about him?" He Bangan said confidently.
“Tsk, tsk.” Yan Liang looked at him speechlessly, “If you don’t contact me for two years because you’re afraid of being disturbed, then you’d better not contact me for the rest of your life. But today, you’re suddenly not afraid of being disturbed anymore?”
He Bangan was so angry with the young man in front of him.
"I'm here to see my nephew. I have nothing to say to you!" he shouted.
The fat son beside him sat on the edge, not daring to say a word.
The main reason is that Li Zhibai and Yan Liang look like they are not easy to mess with.
Li Zhibai immediately stared when he saw that He Bangan dared to yell.
"This is not your home. Try yelling at me again!" Li Zhibai said with a straight face, "Don't act like an elder in our place! Whether Lu Yanhe treats you as an elder or not is his business. What are you doing? What are you wearing in front of us? Damn it, you came in and sat down and you served it, get out!"
Li Zhibai suddenly raised his hand.
He Bangan looked at the two young boys in disbelief, both of them seemed to have eaten explosives.
Such a bad character!
No wonder people on the Internet say that artists are not good people!
"I came to see my nephew, why do you drive me away? You are all public figures. Believe it or not, I will report you to the media!" He Bangan narrowed his eyes and threatened.
Li Zhibai sneered, "This is the first time in my life that I have been threatened like this. In a place like Yuming, who dares to threaten me?"
He directly picked up the phone and turned on the video mode.
“Look at the two people in front, one is Lu Yanhe’s uncle and the other is Lu Yanhe’s younger brother. They were the ones who brought Lu Yanhe out of the countryside, but they didn’t care about anything after they were brought out. I haven’t taken any risks in the past year, but now that Lu Yanhe’s college entrance examination scores came out, he suddenly transformed into a corpse. , The coffin board can't suppress their greed!" Li Zhibai said, "They also said they would report me to the media, but I want to explain carefully, what is the purpose of these two cheap relatives coming to Lu Yanhe? ”
The camera of Li Zhibai’s mobile phone was focused on He Bangan and He Leming, and he became more and more enthusiastic as he talked.
Seeing this, He Bangan became more and more nervous, and Li Zhibai's words became more and more harsh.
He couldn't figure out the situation and thought Li Zhibai was doing a live broadcast, and he suddenly panicked.
“Put it down!” He Bangan looked about to rush up and grab Li Zhibai’s cell phone.
Yan Liang pushed him away.
“You still want to take action, right?” Yan Liang scolded angrily.
Li Zhibai held up his mobile phone: "You are not leaving yet, are you? If you are not leaving, I will continue recording and post it on Weibo later. I want to see if you still have the nerve to see your neighbors!"
He Bangan was so angry that his face turned as red as pig liver.
He Leming was afraid.
He covered his face and said, "Dad, let's go back!"
He has to go to school every day.
If Li Zhibaizhen posted it online, he would be embarrassed by the whole school!
He Bangan was dragged away by his son.
Li Zhibai held up his mobile phone and chased him to the door: "Come back if you have the ability. You report me, and I will expose you. Let's see who can outsmart whom!"
"Okay, okay. ." Yan Liang tugged on Li Zhibai's arm, "Stop recording."
Li Zhibai then put away the phone and slammed the door.
"What kind of dog relative!"
Yan Liang: "You have a big temper."
"The more I think about it, the more angry I become. Damn it, I'm angry for Lao Lu!" Li Zhibai Crossing his hands on his hips, "It's a good thing that Lao Lu isn't here tonight, or else he would be so angry to death from such a shameless person?"
Yan Liang: "There is no way, the world is like this. As soon as you see that your life is getting better, someone will immediately want to get on your body and drink a mouthful of your blood."
"No, we have to follow Lao Lu, please tell me that you can’t let such cheap relatives take advantage of you.”
"Wait until he comes back." Yan Liang said, "When I was so happy, after getting such a good score in the test, rats immediately ran out and were an eyesore."
Li Zhibai snorted coldly and said: "As long as I'm here, I'll kill one of these mice every time I see them."
Yan Liang couldn't help laughing when he looked at Li Zhibai's majestic and high-spirited look.
"You were really wrong just now. You probably scared people." Yan Liang said.
“To deal with this kind of person, you have to be more shameless than him.” Li Zhibai said, “I learned this trick from my mother. She dealt with some annoying people, that’s it, more annoying than the other person. ”
Yan Liang gave Li Zhi a thumbs up and said with emotion: "Famous teachers make great disciples."
Li Zhi Bai sighed, feeling a little proud: "You are indeed lucky to have a friend like me."
Yan Liang: "Applause for you."
Li Zhibai grinned and was not that angry anymore.
I originally wanted to take a rest, but when I saw it, there were more than 200 people in the monthly ticket queue. What else could I say? I just hummed and coded another chapter to express my gratitude! Asking for a monthly ticket!
