How can you ascend to heaven when you are a star?

Chapter 166 I'm Not a Lobbyist

"Gululu!"

Suddenly, the sound of drums rang out in the silent parking lot.

Zhang Wen covered his stomach with his hands while looking at the time displayed on his mobile phone screen. It was 12:37, which was already past the usual lunch time.

Looking at the still empty parking space in front of him, he had been waiting here for two hours, but still hadn't seen the shadow of Director Han Xiaohua.

"Xiao Lu, is your source of information wrong? Are you sure this is Director Han's parking space, or are you sure Director Han will come to the studio today?" Zhang Wen couldn't help but look at Bai Lu who was a few meters away and asked.

The other person was still wearing a hat and a mask. He had been looking in the direction of the parking lot entrance since he arrived here, looking so conscientious as a scarecrow.

"This is indeed Director Han's parking space, and Director Han will indeed be returning to Beijing from out of town today." Bai Lu said seriously, "As for returning to the studio, I guessed based on his previous schedule."

"..."

Zhang Wen frowned, feeling cheated.

He trusted the other person so much and came out to help him despite his busy schedule, but in the end, he responded with a "guess"? This really didn't respect him at all.

Bai Lu also realized that he had been waiting too long, so he turned around and said embarrassedly, "Teacher Zhang, wait a little longer. I'll treat you to a feast later."

"What are you talking about? I didn't come with you to have a big meal." Zhang Wen said seriously.

"I know you are not, but because of me, you couldn't have lunch. I feel bad not treating you to a meal." Bai Lu said.

"In order to put your mind at ease, I will reluctantly accept your invitation," said Zhang Wen.

"Thank you!" Bai Lu took off his mask and smiled sweetly.

At this time, two beams of light shone over and a car entered the parking lot.

Bai Lu immediately put on a mask, hid beside a car, and looked at the cars coming from the distance, like a thief.

He didn't stand up until he saw the car model and license plate clearly.

It’s not Director Han’s car.

Zhang Wen stood up and walked back and forth near the parking space. His feet were numb from squatting for too long.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Several more cars entered the underground parking lot, but each time the expectation eventually turned into disappointment.

"Teacher Zhang." Bai Lu suddenly turned around, a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

"Someone is coming?" Zhang Wen quickly put away his phone.

"Not yet, not yet. I'm going to the bathroom and will be back soon." Bai Lu said and left in a hurry.

Zhang Wen looked at the girl's back and realized that she was not anxious, but had to pee urgently.

He squatted down again, took out his cell phone and continued playing Landlord.

As a peasant with two kings, he would not let the landlord get away.

After several rounds, the landlord finally played four 2 bombs and only had three cards left in his hand.

Just as Zhang Wen was about to use his trump card, two dazzling lights almost flashed his titanium dog eyes.

That feeling reminded him of the interrogation scenes in TV dramas.

Damn, who is it?

He quickly put his hands in front of his eyes to block the light. Does he have any sense of public morality?
"do not want!"

The voice coming from the phone made Zhang Wen collapse.

It turns out that if the card playing timeout occurs, the system will not play the card by default.

In the end, the landlord played three 6s and the peasant failed.

Test!
"drop!"

The loud horn sounds echoed in the parking lot.

It was glaring just now, and now it’s piercing to the ears.

Zhang Wenben was already unhappy because he lost happy beans, and now he was scared like this, his mentality completely collapsed.

"you……"

He stood up and was about to speak when he suddenly felt that the license plate looked familiar.

Hey, isn’t this the license plate number that Bai Lu kept repeating?

Could it be that this is director Han Xiaohua’s car?

It can’t be such a coincidence that Director Han comes just as Bai Lu leaves?
He quickly moved to the side and walked away from the parking space, but he didn't go far. He just stood there staring at the car door.

This behavior stunned the people in the car.

Is this, paparazzi?
Other paparazzi take pictures secretly, but this paparazzi is different. He just stands aside and takes pictures.

The purpose of taking secret photos is to capture secrets, but this paparazzi seems to be afraid that others will not see it. Even if the subject has a big secret, he has plenty of time to hide it.

The business car slowly stopped and the driver opened the door and got out first.

The middle-aged man first looked around, and after making sure that there was no one else, he walked in front of Zhang Wen. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were full of vigilance.

Zhang Wen looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. He was not tall and thin, but looked very strong. He had a crew cut, dark skin, and sharp eyes. It was obvious that he had practiced martial arts.

At this time, the back door opened and a man wearing a baseball cap walked out.

Zhang Wen stretched his neck to take a look. Compared with the photos he saw on the Internet, it cannot be said to be exactly the same, but it is about 70% similar.

In order to confirm the target, he directly flipped through the opponent's skill panel.

"Han Xiaohua, skills: Directing 76 points, Screenwriting 63 points, Photography 55 points, Acting 53 points..."

When Zhang Wen saw the name and a series of skills, he was 200% sure that the man in the baseball cap was Director Han Xiaohua that Bai Lu was looking for.

The names may be the same, but the skills will never be the same.

He was about to move forward when the driver moved to the side, blocking his way.

He went left, and the driver went left. He went right, and the driver went right again.

"Is there something wrong?" Zhang Wen looked at the driver in front of him.

"What do you think?" the driver asked expressionlessly.

Zhang Wen looked at the other person as if he was an idiot, thinking: Is there something wrong with this person's brain? Is there something he doesn't know and needs to ask others?

The driver frowned when he was looked at, and his eyes gradually became fierce.

Zhang Wen watched Han Xiaohua leave, and Bai Lu still hadn't returned, so he said, "Director Han, please wait a moment."

Han Xiaohua didn't say anything, nor did he stop, but walked straight towards the elevator.

As a celebrity, there are so many people who know him. If someone calls him, he has to respond and ask what's the matter. How can he have time to do his own things?

Zhang Wen became anxious and was about to chase after him, but the driver blocked his way again, this time even with his arms open. If you didn't know better, you would think the two were playing a game of "Eagle Catches Chicken".

Seeing Director Han about to enter the elevator, Zhang Wen could only shout, "Director Han, I'm Bai Lu's agent here to treat your insomnia. We've been waiting for you here for three days."

As the old saying goes: A day without seeing you feels like three years.

I waited for three hours, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was three days.

Moreover, Bai Lu said that Director Han went out of town to participate in an event a week ago, so even if he said three days, the other party would not know.

Not sure what words had an effect, but Han Xiaohua finally stopped, looked back, and asked, "Where's Bai Lu? Why can't I see her?"

"She has a stomachache and went to the bathroom. Can you wait a moment? I'll call her right away." Zhang Wen said as he took out his cell phone.

He said he had a stomachache to gain sympathy and make Bai Lu seem pitiful.

Han Xiaohua turned back and said as he walked, "Don't rush her. I'll wait here with you."

"Thank you, Director Han." Zhang Wen put down his phone. After all, he didn't know whether Bai Lu went to the bathroom because she had to pee or poop, or because women always have those days. If it was the latter, calling at this time would be somewhat impolite.

Besides, he and Bai Lu had been waiting here for Director Han for three hours. So what if he let the other party have a taste of what it was like to be waiting for someone?

Han Xiaohua looked at the young man in front of him and asked, "You just said that Bai Lu asked you to treat my insomnia? You are..."

After hearing this, Zhang Wen immediately introduced himself. "My name is Zhang Wen. I'm the director of the Xingxiang Art Examination Training Center, a teacher in charge of teaching in the Tianxi Media Training Department, and a renowned psychologist..."

When Han Xiaohua heard so many titles, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Could this young man be a liar?
What scammers are best at is using various names to package themselves, bluffing people while gaining the trust of their targets.

However, this method may be used to deceive a girl like Bai Lu, but it is impossible to deceive him!

While introducing himself, Zhang Wen was also observing the expression of Director Han. After noticing the suspicion in his eyes, he immediately added a few words.

"Actually, I rarely provide home treatment, but Bai Lu begged me for a long time, and later her agent also found me. I only agreed for Mr. Gao's sake."

Not many words, but a lot of information.

Han Xiaohua was slightly startled and asked tentatively: "The Mr. Gao you are talking about is..."

"Mr. Gao Shengqiang, his daughter Gao Yue is Bai Lu's agent. Director Han, don't you know?" Zhang Wen asked.

"Know, know."

Han Xiaohua nodded.

Of course he knew that Gao Yue was Bai Lu's agent. In fact, the reason why he was standing here waiting was because of Gao Yue's relationship.

Thinking of the young psychologist's expression when he mentioned Mr. Gao, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you know Mr. Gao?"

"I know him. He is also my patient. I went to Mr. Gao's house some time ago to treat his insomnia. There are also Mr. Chen Xu, Mr. Zhou Zhennan, Mr. Guo Jinhai..." Zhang Wen said with a faint smile.

He recalled the scene when Director Wang Xinguo visited Mr. Gao, so he told him all about the old men he knew.

Among so many veteran artists, there must be one that Director Han knows.

Han Xiaohua lost his composure when he heard the names of these big guys.

You know, the people mentioned by this young man just now are all respected old artists. How could he not know them?
In particular, Mr. Guo Jinhai was very kind to him.

Without the appreciation and support of Mr. Guo, he would not have achieved his current success and status.

"Is Mr. Guo in good health?" Han Xiaohua asked with concern.

"After a period of treatment, Mr. Guo's sleep quality has not only improved, he no longer has to get up at night. His overall mental state has also improved a lot. Now he plays chess with Mr. Gao, Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhou and others all day long, and even when they quarrel, he is full of energy." Zhang Wen said in a torrent of words.

The strategy of bringing up the old man really worked. He could clearly feel that the other party had completely lost the suspicion and contempt he had just had.

Han Xiaohua couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

That's right, when he visited Mr. Guo, he did encounter several scenes where Mr. Guo and Mr. Gao and others quarreled over playing chess.

With this relationship, looking at the young man in front of me, I suddenly felt much closer.

Besides, since Mr. Guo is a client of this psychologist, he must have some outstanding qualities.

Zhang Wen saw Director Han smile, and taking advantage of his good mood, he immediately handed him the script, "Director Han, can you take a look at this script?"

Han Xiaohua took it, looked at the cover, and asked, "Is this the script for Bai Lu's new play?"

"Yeah." Zhang Wen nodded.

Han Xiaohua immediately smiled bitterly. "Doctor Zhang, it seems that you are not only the psychologist Bai Lu hired to treat my insomnia, but also her lobbyist. But with all due respect, Bai Lu is not suited to modern dramas. Anyone who has seen her previous TV series should know this. I understand her desire for transformation, but she is not suitable for me."

"Director Han, you misunderstood." Zhang Wen said with a smile, "I'm not lobbying for Bai Lu. I just want you to see the script. In fact, they don't know that I wrote this script."

"Oh?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Han Xiaohua's eyes.

Bai Lu once called him and invited him to be the director of a new play. He was so confident in the script that he almost praised it to the sky.

A script that Bai Lu picked up on must not be too bad, but he didn't expect it to be written by the psychologist in front of him.

"Director Han, I know many people are not optimistic about Bai Lu starring in modern dramas. Even the top executives at Tianxi Media are not optimistic. So I won't help Bai Lu convince you to direct this drama. I also don't want you to direct this drama because of Bai Lu, and I don't want you to direct this drama because I can cure your insomnia. I just hope you decide to direct this drama because of this script, that's all."

"..."

Han Xiaohua looked at the sincere attitude of the young man in front of him and immediately felt a strong liking for him. At the same time, he also became curious about the script in his hand.

If nothing else, he had to take a look at the script because the other party was treating Mr. Guo.

"Okay, I promise you, I will read the script as soon as I get back." Han Xiaohua said.

In this young man, he saw his own shadow.

Mr. Guo helped him, so why couldn't he give this young man a chance?

What's more, the other party can cure the insomnia that has troubled him for more than ten years?
"Thank you, Director Han." Zhang Wen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He is not afraid that the other party will refuse the invitation, but he is afraid that the other party will not read the script. As long as the other party reads the script, he will not worry about the other party refusing.

"Director Han, you're back!!"

Suddenly a voice sounded, it was Bai Lu who came back.

The other person walked over quickly, with excitement and nervousness in his eyes.

Han Xiaohua smiled and nodded at Bai Lu. Although he had rejected the other party's invitation, he could not remain indifferent to the other party's willingness to wait here for three days and even invite a psychologist for him.

"Bai Lu, thank you for your hard work."

"Not hard, not hard."

Bai Lu shook his head repeatedly, but he didn't know what Director Han was talking about. In the end, he could only look at Teacher Zhang beside him.

How could Zhang Wen dare to tell Bai Lu what he had just said in front of Director Han? The three days of waiting alone was enough to make him sweat profusely.

So, he ignored Bai Lu and looked at Han Xiaohua and asked, "Director Han, when are you free so I can start treatment?"

"I wonder how long the treatment will take?" Han Xiaohua asked.

"Two hours a day, and after five days, it will be completely cured," said Zhang Wen.

In fact, it doesn't take that much time. With his current damage value, three hours is enough to destroy a mid-level negative personality derivative.

The reason why it takes five days is, on the one hand, to get closer to the other party, and on the other hand, to know the other party's opinion on the script.

If these cannot change Han Xiaohua's attitude, then it can only be said that the other party is blind and cannot recognize the value of gold and jade.

"Doctor Zhang, regarding the cost..." Han Xiaohua didn't want to owe others too many favors. Since Bai Lu had already invited a psychologist, there was no need for him to ask the other party to pay for it.

"Director Han, you don't have to worry about the cost. Teacher Zhang and I are friends, and he will provide free consultation this time." Bai Lu said quickly, and then winked at Teacher Zhang, meaning that she would pay for it.

Zhang Wen ignored Bai Lu's hint and looked at Han Xiaohua and said, "Director Han, the treatment fee is 40 yuan. If you can get it, you will pay it. If you can't get it, you won't be charged."

Bai Lu was shocked. Wasn't it 20? How did it become 40? Could it be that Director Han's condition was more serious?

"Okay." Han Xiaohua nodded.

He did not think that 40 yuan was a lot, because he had spent more than 40 yuan on the treatment of neurasthenia over the years. He even spent 60 yuan to buy a mattress in order to have a good night's sleep, but his insomnia symptoms still did not improve.

If he could be cured, he would pay for the treatment without hesitation, even if it was 40 million, let alone 400.

"Director Han, are you free tomorrow?" Zhang Wen asked.

"Have."

"I'll come to the studio to see you tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. What do you think?"

"Okay, I'll trouble you, Doctor Zhang."

"Then we'll see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow!"
