I became popular after participating in a high-IQ variety show

Lu Yan thought that Jian Qi added him as a friend to ask him for love, but no, the other party's request was very simple, just to see him.

After Lu Yan had breakfast, he went to the leisure bar across the street from the training camp, where Jian Qi had already been waiting.

The leisure bar is partitioned, with a high degree of privacy. When Lu Yan opened the curtain and entered, Jian Qi had already taken off his mask.

He was dressed very simply and without makeup. He looked haggard, but his eyes were still alive and he didn't look particularly embarrassed.

Seeing Lu Yan, Jian Qi's mouth curled into a small arc, "You're here, what do you want to drink?"

"Stop drinking." Lu Yan sat down opposite him, "I still have something to do in the training camp, I only took half an hour off, so please tell me if you have anything to do."

Jian Qi nodded, "That's right, you are a very busy person now, unlike me, all work is gone, and you have a lot of free time."

Lu Yan frowned slightly, "Are you here to betray me?"

Jian Qi shook her head, "Selling miserably is not counted, let's talk to you."

Lu Yan didn't speak.

Jian Qi took a sip of the coffee on the table, and said to herself: "Actually, I have complicated feelings for you. I think you are stupid, but at the same time I think you are smart. I think you are annoying, but at the same time I kind of... like you."

"I think you are stupid because at the time of the draft, you knew that I was dating Mr. Lan, and the person behind me was the person with the most say in the whole show, yet you even reported it to the show crew for the sake of so-called fairness I."

"There are so many people who hate me, but you are the only one who will show it directly. In public, in front of the media, you will fight with me, like a single-celled creature without a brain."

"I think you're smart because I know you have the evidence of Mr. Lan at the night meeting in your hand, but you haven't exposed this evidence for so many years. It shows that you are not that stupid, and you still know that you can't offend Mr. Lan. "

Speaking of this, Lu Yan also felt that the original owner was all stupid. He knew that Boss Lan would crush him to death as easily as crushing an ant, so no matter how angry he was with Jian Qi, he did not expose the deadliest evidence to the media. , just stored it in the U disk and hid it.

Jian Qi went on to say: "I hate you, it's normal, because you're stupid and trying to hinder my interests. But it's strange, I obviously hate you so much, for so long, but recently, inexplicably... "

Jian Qi's voice stopped suddenly, Lu Yan didn't speak, and the cubicle suddenly fell into silence.

After a long while, Jian Qi continued: "The day you came to my crew as a group performer, I was very impressed. You seemed to be a different person. When you saw me, you were no longer incompetent and furious, but turned a blind eye. Even I took the initiative You are very calm when provoking."

"What impressed me the most that day was that I threatened you to block you, but you said you were not afraid."

"Do you know how I felt at the time? I envy you, and I'm a little jealous, because I'm most afraid of being blocked."

"Actually, I am very timid and vain. I am afraid of living an ordinary and simple life. I am afraid that others will not like me. I am afraid that I am not popular enough. I am even more afraid of being deprived of everything I have."

"So when I heard you say that you are not afraid of being banned, and it doesn't matter if you are not popular, I was really shocked. How can any artist not want to be popular?"

"Later I figured it out. I guess you don't want to be popular and you are not afraid of being banned because you have nothing to lose. Of course you are not afraid. Thinking of this makes me feel a lot better."

"Mr. Lan spent a lot of effort to get me into the "High IQ Genius" program group as a special guest. Although I can only be on one episode, this program is very helpful to my development. I never expected that I could Saw you on that show."

"I looked at you in the audience, and I suddenly understood why you were not afraid of being blocked, because you are not worthless, you just don't care about things in the entertainment industry. With your ability, even if you were suppressed by Xue Zang at that time, There will also be a chance to stand up."

Speaking of this, Jian Qi smiled, "No one who looked at you in the audience that day could not be impressed by your brilliance, and your boss is no exception, do you know?"

Lu Yan still didn't speak, didn't even nod, just looked at him quietly.

Jian Qi was amused by his vigilant look, "Don't look at me like that, I have no ability to torment you anymore, you have Jin Zhuofeng behind you, I have nothing."

Lu Yan hummed perfunctorily.

"So I have to suspect..." Jian Qi suddenly stopped laughing, her eyes were sharp, and she stared straight into Lu Yan's eyes, "Are you really Lu Yan?"

"Although this question is a bit ridiculous, I also understand the reason why Shibie looks at you with admiration for three days, but I am too familiar with what you were like before, and it is far from what you are now."

"You used to memorize lyrics and dance moves very quickly, but it is far from the current level. You can't play Sudoku at all, you can't play Morse code at all, and you don't have any elegant artistic attainments. Know any famous artists? Famous paintings."

"It's unbelievable that you can go from being good at nothing to being good at everything overnight."

Lu Yan licked his lower lip, randomly took out a piece of paper and played with it in his hand, without saying a word.

Just when Jian Qi thought that there was no answer to this question, Lu Yan suddenly said, "It's what you think. I won't go into details about the specific situation. Anyway, it's almost the same as what you think."

Jian Qi raised her eyebrows, "Then this is a big secret, what if I am pretending to be depressed now, are you not afraid that I actually installed a recording pen?"

Lu Yan said very firmly, "You can't turn over."

It is basically impossible for Yi Menghua's news to be false. She said that Jian Qi and Boss Lan broke up completely, so it must be broken.What's more, even if there is no quarrel, there is a big tree like Jin Zhuofeng behind him, and Jian Qi can't threaten him.

In fact, Lu Yan didn't even realize that he had unconsciously relied on Jin Zhuofeng.

Jian Qi didn't get annoyed by what he said, but nodded and said, "You're right, I really can't turn over."

Lu Yan glanced at the time, "Do you have anything else to do?"

"No, I just wanted to talk to you, and now I have said almost everything I need to say." Jian Qi smiled at him, "Go and do your work."

"OK, bye."

Back at the training camp, Lu Yan kept up with the progress of the other players, and did not end today's training until [-]:[-] pm.

As soon as he came out of the classroom and was about to eat, Lu Yan received a message from Jin Zhuofeng.

The other party only sent two short words: go downstairs.

Lu Yan greeted Yan Gao and the others, put on his down jacket and went downstairs.

It gets dark very early in winter in the north. Although it is only seven o'clock, it is almost night outside the house.

As soon as Lu Yan pushed the door and went out, he saw Jin Zhuofeng standing by the side of the road, his shadow being dragged long by the streetlights.

He was wearing a long black trench coat and carried a thermos bucket in his hand.

"Boss Jin." Lu Yan trotted over, "Why are you here?"

Jin Zhuofeng looked up at him, probably because it was too cold, and the muscles on his face were a little tense.

He didn't speak, just shook the thermos in his hand.

Lu Yan asked, "Is this for me?"

"Ah."

Lu Yan: "..."

Hiss——his boss suddenly became so indifferent, and he wasn't used to it.

Lu Yan took the thermos, was silent for a moment, and asked again: "Well, aren't you cold?"

Jin Zhuofeng glanced at him coolly, squeezed out a word between his teeth, "Cold."

"Then you still..." Wearing so little.

"nice."

Lu Yan: "?"

Jin Zhuofeng smacked his lips lightly, "It looks good in this dress."

Lu Yan: "..."

A lot of age, but still so graceful.

Jin Zhuofeng pointed to the thermos bucket, "There is fish soup in it, to nourish the brain, don't work too hard."

He spoke the last few words very lightly, if it wasn't for the lack of wind, Lu Yan wouldn't be able to hear what he was saying.

Lu Yan blinked his eyes, and suddenly something bad came up, he pretended not to hear clearly, and asked, "What did you just say?"

"I said you..." Jin Zhuofeng paused, "Forget it, it's nothing."

Lu Yan moved closer to him, "Are you not angry anymore? About the misunderstanding last time."

Jin Zhuofeng glanced at him. In fact, he really wanted to say that he was angry with backbone, but when he thought that the misunderstanding was caused by his own overthinking, he felt embarrassed to say so.

And...and even if he was angry, Lu Yan obviously wouldn't coax him. No matter how angry he was, he would still be sulking on his own, and he might as well heal himself.

"That's right." Jin Zhuofeng said impatiently, "Why do you have so many questions, hurry back and eat."

Lu Yan couldn't help laughing, "I see, thank you."

After Lu Yan said hello and wanted to go back, Jin Zhuofeng suddenly stopped him and said, "By the way, do you know that Jian Qi is dead."

Hearing this news, Lu Yan's first reaction was that Jin Zhuofeng's "death" meant "you are going to die" in a joking way, but seeing his serious expression, Lu Yan's second reaction was that Jian Qi is really In a sense, he is no longer alive.

It was too sudden, they met in the morning.

Jin Zhuofeng explained: "He was in a car accident, but it shouldn't be an accident."

Lu Yan frowned, "A car accident is not an accident... What do you mean? Someone hurt him?"

"Well, he has been with Boss Lan for a long time, and he basically knows Boss Lan's secrets, and now the two of them have broken up..." Jin Zhuofeng said: "Although Jian Qi's current situation can't make any troubles, there is only death. People keep their mouths shut forever."

Hearing this, Lu Yan was silent for a while, then nodded, and asked, "Will we be affected?"

"Don't worry about that. Lan Ying wants Jian Qi's life because he knows too much. At most, we have a little friction with her. She is not so stingy."

Jin Zhuofeng paused, and then said: "Even if she really wants to do something, there is still me, you don't have to be afraid."

Lu Yan couldn't help smiling again, "OK, I know you're amazing, but I'm not too scared."

After saying this, the two looked at each other for a while, before Lu Yan greeted Jin Zhuofeng again, "Then I'm going in, go back quickly, and be careful on the road."

"Ah."

Lu Yan returned to the villa with the thermos bucket in hand, finished his meal quickly, and continued to practice the project.

Although Jian Qi's incident shocked him, the relationship between him and Jian Qi was really not good. When he heard the news of his death, his surprise passed away.

The schedule of the training camp is very tight. Every morning, I have to get up at [-] o'clock to start the training program, and I can only go to bed at [-] o'clock.

Because every day is very fulfilling, so the past few days have passed extremely fast.

Soon it was time to enter the international competition.
