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

Chapter 172 The smell of gunpowder

noon.

Zhang Wen, Gao Yue and Bai Lu came to a famous roast duck restaurant and entered the private room that had been booked in advance.

As the host, Zhang Wen sat down first.

The round table is large and has plenty of seats, and can accommodate more than ten people for dinner at the same time.

However, Bai Lu secretly glanced at Sister Yue. In order to make her realize her feelings and cure her stubbornness, she naturally sat next to Zhang Wen.

Gao Yue originally wanted to sit opposite the man so that she wouldn't have to turn her head while chatting, but when she saw Bai Lu sitting next to the man, her feet moved uncontrollably to the other side of the man and she sat down.

Oh no, has my body been possessed? Why are my brain, limbs, and hands and feet all out of control?

Zhang Wen looked to the left and then to the right, and suddenly felt like he was surrounded by people.

If this happens in bed, would sleeping on your side be considered partiality?
"Order now, don't be polite to me." Zhang Wen said generously, "I'll pay for everything."

He never thought that one day he would be able to say such words.

Sure enough, money is a person's confidence.

When you have a lot of money, even your words become very assertive.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't save you any money." Bai Lu said with a smile after hearing this, then picked up the tablet and frantically poked at the menu.

Such crazy behavior made Zhang Wen, who was standing by, terrified.

It’s not that I regret treating him, but I’m worried that he will damage the tablet, and I’ll have to pay for it just for a meal.

Bai Lu poked around for two minutes, then passed the tablet to Gao Yue. "Sister Yue, here you go. Order more of your favorite food. Teacher Zhang said, don't be polite to him."

Gao Yue took the tablet and wanted to order a drink, but after seeing the selected items, he was stunned.

3356 yuan?
She and her grandfather had just been to this roast duck restaurant a while ago. It was also Zhang Wen who treated them. There were four of them, including her eldest sister, and they only spent a little over a thousand yuan in the end.

But now, she and Zhang Wen haven't ordered yet, and Bai Lu alone has ordered more than three thousand.

Considering that one roast duck costs more than 1 yuan, does this mean you are ordering 10 roast ducks?

She took a look at what Bai Lu ordered. In addition to roast duck, there were also sea cucumbers, lobsters, abalone, etc. No wonder he spent so much.

"Xiao Lu, can you eat so much?" Gao Yue looked at Bai Lu and asked.

Who would order so much seafood if they were here for the roast duck? Wouldn't it be better to go to a private restaurant or seafood restaurant?

"If you can't finish it, pack it up and take it away." Bai Lu said.

"what?"

Zhang Wen was stunned, thinking, is this woman here to eat her enemy? And she wants to take it away?
He pretended to be calm and glanced at the menu, then his eyes immediately widened and his eyeballs almost popped out.

More than three thousand?
This woman is so cruel!

But when I thought about the big words I said when I entered the door, I finally endured it.

Eat, eat, and make your waist rounder!

Zhang Wen thought.

"Agent Gao, you should order more too. Don't save money for me." Zhang Wen said generously.

"Yes, Sister Yue, you are not his wife, why should you help him save money?" Bai Lu deliberately provoked the agent to see how he would react.

Gao Yue's cheeks flushed slightly as she opened her mouth to explain, "I, I'm not trying to help him save money. I just think that food shouldn't be wasted. Wasting is a crime."

Bai Lu smiled inwardly after seeing Sister Yue's expression, and said, "Don't worry, Sister Yue, I won't leave even a single cucumber stick behind today."

After hearing this, Gao Yue stopped talking, ordered a drink, and a plate of mustard duck feet, then returned the tablet to Zhang Wen beside him.

Zhang Wen took a look at what Bai Lu ordered. Actually, he didn't order much, it was just that the unit price was more expensive.

He thought, since he had already ordered more than 3,000 yuan, a few hundred yuan more wouldn't make a difference, so he ordered two more roast ducks. Since he was here, he had to enjoy the meal to his heart's content, after all, he wouldn't come here to eat every day.

After placing the order, the waiter left the private room with the tablet.

Bai Lu turned around and asked with a smile, "Teacher Zhang, do you feel heartbroken?"

"Why should I feel heartbroken?" Zhang Wen asked doubtfully, pretending to be ignorant even though he knew the truth.

"Just keep acting." Bai Lu rolled his eyes, then suddenly seemed to remember something. He turned around and asked curiously with sparkling eyes, "Teacher Zhang, how did you write the story of 'Perfect Days'? Was it based on your own experiences, or did you hear others tell you about it, or did you just imagine it? Can you tell me about it?"

The dissatisfaction in her eyes was gone, and now it was full of anticipation, and she turned into a little fan girl.

In fact, when she got the script and read half of it, she became curious about the author. What kind of person could write such a wonderful story? This person must have a very exciting life. She must have a good chat with him when she met him.

I was too excited before and had to sign the contract, so I temporarily forgot about this matter. Now that everyone is here and the food hasn’t been served yet, I naturally can’t miss this opportunity.

Zhang Wen had already thought about this question, so he replied calmly: "All three."

"Ah? You mean, this story was pieced together?" Bai Lu asked in surprise.

"That's right, isn't there a saying like that? Art comes from life, but is higher than life." Zhang Wen said confidently.

Bai Lu nodded, then asked, "Teacher Zhang, could you please tell me about the three unfinished stories? I think they must be very interesting, right?"

what?
Zhang Wen's mouth twitched. He really hadn't thought about this question, but this didn't stop him from answering the other party's question.

"The endings of these three stories are not happy, and the protagonists are also quite miserable. I'd better not say more. Explaining too much will affect your understanding of the story. Once you can't put yourself in the role of the character, Director Han will definitely regret agreeing to direct this drama. How about this, I will tell you after you finish filming."

Zhang Wen not only brought up Director Han, but also used the tactic of "dragging", which not only persuaded the other party but also left them with hope.

Sure enough, as soon as Bai Lu heard Director Han, she immediately hid her curiosity. She had finally persuaded Director Han to agree to direct this TV series, and she didn't want to change his mind at the last minute because of Director Han.

"Okay, I'll wait for that day to come." Bai Lu nodded heavily, then picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip to moisten his throat, and then continued to ask, "Teacher Zhang, can you tell me why you wrote this script?"

"As for the reason, it's actually a bit naive. There are too many disappointments in the world, and I just want to give them a happy ending." Zhang Wen said with a wry smile.

Bai Lu was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly felt that Teacher Zhang was so great.

This is to leave the pain to yourself and leave the beauty to others.

"Teacher Zhang, what do you think of the heroine in the play?" Bai Lu asked seriously.

Communicating with the script writer can help the leading actress deepen her understanding of the role, which is of great help to her in shaping the role.

She likes this script and this role very much. Whether she can successfully transform in the future depends entirely on this script and this role.

There is no room for error.

"Haven't you already read the script? Go ahead and tell me how well you understand the character." Zhang Wen acted like a teacher testing a student; he couldn't let the constant "Teacher Zhang" calls go in vain. "Okay, let me tell you my thoughts on the story and the heroine. Teacher Zhang, please correct me..." Bai Lu took a sip of tea and began to share his thoughts.

Zhang Wen listened quietly with a serious expression.

This time it's not pretend, it's real.

In fact, his comprehension of the script had only just reached the point of analyzing the personalities of the various characters, and Bai Lu's answers were of great help to his understanding of the characters.

Gao Yue's eyes moved back and forth between Zhang Wen and Bai Lu. Since she had not read the script, she could not get a word in at this time.

Looking at the two people communicating, she suddenly felt that she was the superfluous one. She really shouldn't have come today, or she should have taken the time to read the script in advance so that they would have a common topic.

The script that could capture Xiaolu and Director Han's heart must be extraordinary.

Soon, all the food was served.

The table was full and the aroma filled the private room.

Since the filming director was filming on the spot, Zhang Wen and Bai Lu also stopped discussing the roles.

With the superb knife skills of the duck slicer, a whole roast duck is quickly turned into slices of duck meat.

Bai Lu picked up two slices of duck meat and placed them in the lotus leaf pancake, then added cucumber strips and green onion shreds, spread some sweet bean sauce on it, rolled it up and picked it up.

She was originally planning to feast on the meal, but after seeing Agent Gao, another idea popped into her mind, and she immediately placed the rolled roast duck on the plate in front of Zhang Wen.

"Teacher Zhang, the first one is for you."

"Thank you." Zhang Wen didn't hesitate and took it and put it in his mouth.

After all, it was his money, so it would be a waste if he didn't eat it. If he didn't eat it, Bai Lu would pack it up anyway. So he had only one goal today, which was to eat as much as he could and not give Bai Lu the chance to pack it up.

"Are you still so polite to me?" Bai Lu smiled sweetly and started to roll the second roast duck.

Gao Yue looked at the sweet interaction between the two people beside her and couldn't help but put the rolled roast duck on the plate in front of the man, saying, "Thank you for treating us to dinner."

"You're welcome." Zhang Wen accepted everyone who came. In fact, if he wasn't worried about Bai Lu's celebrity identity being exposed, he even wanted to ask the waiter to help him roll the pancakes.

Two hands are not enough!

When Bai Lu heard Sister Yue's reason, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

You can toast to express your gratitude, and if you can't drink, you can also "replace wine with tea". How can rolling up a roast duck be considered a thank you?
Thinking of this, she rolled another one and placed it in front of Teacher Zhang, "Teacher Zhang, here's another one for you."

"Yeah, okay." Zhang Wen nodded, finished his own roll, and started eating Bailu's roll.

Gao Yue paused, then uncontrollably handed the rolled roast duck to the man next to her.

"???"

She looked at her hands, her face full of surprise.

what's the situation?
Why don’t my hands obey me?

Zhang Wen looked at the two women beside him strangely. He had agreed to treat them to a big meal, so why did they now have to serve him the meal?

Although he enjoyed the meal, if the two women didn't eat, wouldn't it be a failure to treat him to a meal in the end? What if he asked him to treat them to a meal again?
Next time it won’t be roast duck.

"You guys eat too!" Zhang Wen said, pointing at the dishes on the table.

In his opinion, the two women had to eat. Even if they only took a bite, it meant he was treating them.

"I'm losing weight!"

"I'm losing weight!"

Gao Yue and Bai Lu said in unison, and the private room instantly became quiet.

The two women looked at each other. They had a tacit understanding at work, and I didn't expect that they even had such a tacit understanding when answering questions.

"??"

Zhang Wen stopped chewing, looking at Bai Lu with a puzzled look on his face. He asked, "Didn't you order all these? Isn't it a little too late to think about losing weight after you ordered? Eat quickly, don't even think about taking it away."

Bai Lu just wanted to make a joke, but he didn't expect the other party to take it seriously.

How could she possibly pack it up? She didn't need a few bites of seafood.

"I understand. Aren't I just thinking of serving you first?" Bai Lu said in a coquettish voice.

When Zhang Wen heard Bai Lu's accent, he immediately got goose bumps. He was already used to the other person's accent, and now he suddenly heard it, he felt very uncomfortable.

"Bai Lu, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Wen asked. He felt that the other party had been possessed by someone, otherwise why would the way he spoke have changed so much?

"Teacher Zhang, everything I said is true." After Bai Lu finished answering, he placed the third rolled roast duck in front of Zhang Wen.

Gao Yue's hands became uncontrollable again. After rolling up the roast duck, she handed it directly to the person next to her.

In this way, Bai Lu and Gao Yue rolled one by one, as if they were competing.

Zhang Wen looked at the roast duck rolls piled up like a mountain on the plate and fell into deep thought.

Are these two people trying to ask him for service fees?

Soon, all four roast ducks were rolled up, but Gao Yue and Bai Lu didn't eat a single bite.

Bai Lu saw that the roast duck was gone, so he picked up the chopsticks and put the sea cucumber in front of Zhang Wen, while Gao Yue continued to be unwilling to be outdone and picked up a piece of lobster meat and handed it to Zhang Wen.

For a moment, there was a smell of gunpowder in the private room.

Maybe because he was fed too much, Zhang Wen soon became full. He looked at Gao Yue and Bai Lu who were putting more food into their plates. Why did it feel like these two people who usually had a good relationship had become enemies today?

And he felt like the fisherman was the only one who benefited from the conflict between the two.

"Teacher Zhang, we haven't finished talking about roles yet, let's move on." Bai Lu saw that he couldn't beat Sister Yue in picking up meat or picking up vegetables, so he had to find another way to stimulate her.

"It's not easy to talk while eating. It affects digestion and may also cause damage to the esophageal mucosa. In my opinion, we should talk after dinner. It doesn't matter if we wait a little longer." Gao Yue said tit for tat.

Zhang Wen was puzzled. How could two people who were as close as sisters become enemies now?
It seems that not only beautiful women can cause trouble, but men can also cause trouble.

Ok?
Bai Lu narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't feel angry at all, but rather excited. It was a wicked smile that showed that his evil plan had succeeded.

She regarded Sister Yue's behavior as jealousy, because only when she was jealous would Sister Yue compete with her for a man.

Sister Yue, Sister Yue, are you finally going to stop hiding your thoughts?
