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

Chapter 184 Strength
Han Xiaohua not only admired the teaching ability of the young man in front of him, but was also shocked by his versatility.

Training teacher, psychological counselor, screenwriter, these three professions seem to have nothing to do with each other, but they are found in one person, and he does each of them very well, which sounds incredible.

There are people who have succeeded in crossing borders, but this is the first time he has met someone who has succeeded in such a big span. For a moment, he could not find any other words to describe him except "awesome".

"Doctor Zhang, it's already noon. Let's go out for lunch to celebrate your outstanding teaching achievements." Han Xiaohua said as he took out a bottle of Maotai from the cabinet under his desk and asked, "Doctor Zhang, how can you drink? Can you have a few?"

Zhang Wen smiled. He said nothing and slowly extended a finger.

"A bottle? Doctor Zhang can drink quite well." After seeing this, Han Xiaohua took out another bottle of Maotai from the cabinet.

"Keep drinking!" Zhang Wen said lightly.

His current record is eight bottles of Maozi, which was when he was trying to secure investment for Bailu. He was fine after drinking them, so he was not bragging.

"Oh?"

Han Xiaohua's eyes widened, with surprise in his eyes.

Keep drinking?

This sounds a bit exaggerated, but when I think about the fact that this young man really has something, maybe it is not impossible.

Of course, drinking all the time is definitely a bit exaggerated, but judging from the other person's tone, two kilograms should be no problem.

Skillful.

He also weighs two kilograms.

Usually at a drinking party, we mostly chat and toast each other, but most of the time we don’t enjoy the drink enough. Today, I can have a good drink with this young man.

So he put the two bottles of Maozi he had just taken out back into the cabinet. Since he didn't know how much he could drink, he would just order it at the dining area and drink as much as he wanted.

"Doctor Zhang, this is what you said. We must have a good drink later." After Han Xiaohua said this, he pulled Zhang Wen out, and it seemed that he couldn't wait to have a good drink.

Zhang Wen followed Director Han silently. Drinking is a good way to build relationships. It would not be a good thing if you could conquer the other person with a drink.

You have to know that not everyone can get in touch with a big director in the entertainment industry like Han Xiaohua, let alone drink with him.

Perhaps because he couldn't wait, or perhaps because he thought it was convenient, Han Xiaohua found a restaurant near the studio, drank four bottles of Maotai, ordered a few side dishes, and then walked into the private room.

Soon, the food and wine were served.

Han Xiaohua opened four bottles of Maotai tea and placed two in front of each person. He then looked at the young man and asked, "Doctor Zhang, is this okay? If not, don't force it."

Zhang Wen smiled indifferently. He was not exaggerating, but the two bottles in front of him were not enough to moisten his throat.

"Okay, a man can't say no." Zhang Wen said after hearing this, then picked up the straw and filled the wine glass in front of him.

Seeing the young man's straightforward demeanor, Han Xiaohua thought to himself that he had made the right choice. What he hated most were people who acted pretentiously at the table, who were hesitant when drinking, and who could obviously drink half a catty of liquor but acted as if they couldn't drink to avoid it.

This is not only a matter of attitude, but also a matter of thought.

"Come on!" Han Xiaohua raised his glass and said with a smile, "Congratulations on all the students you've taught making it to the finals."

"Thank you, Director Han."

Zhang Wen picked up the bottle, and after a "ding" sound, he drank the wine in the glass.

The smell of alcohol spreads quickly in the mouth, but after it enters the stomach, there is no feeling.

Han Xiaohua saw the young man's behavior and nodded with satisfaction. He liked people who were quick to do things.

"Director Han." Zhang Wen poured himself another glass, raised it, and said, "I toast you. Thank you for your appreciation of my script."

What he said was sincere.

It is precisely because the script was favored by the other party that it was sold at a good price. If it were replaced by a director of a smaller status, the value of the script would be greatly reduced.

A bottle of Coke is worth 3 yuan in a convenience store and 30 yuan in a hotel.

"Haha, that's because your script is good enough." Han Xiaohua said without hesitation and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

However, when the script was mentioned, he became more talkative. Although he did not bring the script here today, he had read it many times and had memorized the story by heart, so even if there was no script, it would not stop him from chatting.

And because of the wine, the two of them didn't have to just chat. With the addition of wine, the conversation became more enjoyable.

One cup, two cups, three cups...

Soon, one bottle of wine was finished, so the two picked up the second bottle.

Time passes quietly as we clink glasses and exchange cups.

After an unknown amount of time, the second bottle of wine for both of them was already empty.

Han Xiaohua's face turned red, and he looked like Guan Gong. His voice also began to fluctuate, sometimes loud and sometimes soft.

In contrast, Zhang Wen remained calm and looked as if he had drunk two bottles of water.

"Zhang, brother Zhang, I didn't expect you could drink so well. Waiter, bring me two more bottles of Maotai!" Han Xiaohua said loudly.

"Director Han, you have to take care of yourself. I think we should stop here today." Zhang Wen advised, and at the same time shook his head at the waiter, indicating that there was no need to get some wine.

In fact, he wanted to continue drinking because he could continue talking about the script.

Han Xiaohua, who was drunk, obviously talked more. Without his deliberate guidance, the other party would talk incessantly about his analysis of the script.

But Director Han is old, and there are only two of them drinking. If something happens to the other person after drinking, how will he explain to Director Han's family?

"I, I'm fine, I can still drink. If you don't believe me, let's have another bottle." Although Han Xiaohua said this, his words were a little lisp.

"Director Han, let's just have fun. There's no need to get drunk. If you want to drink, how about we continue another day?" Zhang Wen stared at Han Xiaohua intently, fearing that he would fall to the ground.

Two bottles of Maozi equal two kilograms of liquor. The fact that the other person can still sit here means he has a good alcohol tolerance.

As for him...

He is an alien.

"Since Brother Zhang said so, I will listen to you and stop drinking here today. But Brother Zhang, your alcohol tolerance is really amazing. I admire you." Han Xiaohua gave a thumbs up.

But this thumb kept shaking, sometimes drawing a dragon on the left, sometimes drawing a rainbow on the right, and he was still chattering. He could definitely participate in "The Rap of China".

Zhang Wen looked at the time. It was already 2:30 in the afternoon, which meant that the two of them had been drinking for two and a half hours.

If this guy hadn't been so bad at drinking, he really wanted to chat with him for another two and a half hours.

You can't just listen to a great director's opinion on a script whenever you want.

He helped Director Han out of the restaurant and sent him directly back to the studio.

At this moment, Director Han Xiaohua was already drunk and unconscious, with no other sounds coming out of his mouth except "hmm" and "hmm".

Zhang Wen laid him down on the bed in the lounge, watching Director Han's movements. This saved him the trouble of hypnotizing him. He summoned his Whip of Education and began to strike the faded intermediate negative personality derivative with a barrage of blows.

Because I had to rush back to the company before getting off work, today's treatment only lasted for an hour. If nothing goes wrong, the intermediate negative personality derivatives in Director Han Xiaohua will be completely conquered by tomorrow and can be used by him.

As I walked out of the office building, the sun was shining brightly outside.

Zhang Wen bathed in the sun and felt particularly relaxed. He finally didn't have to endure it anymore.

"what!"

With a loud shout, he released the excitement that had been pent up in his heart.

He didn't care about the looks others gave him. After all, these people had no experience of making more than four million in one go. He believed that if they were in his place, they would definitely be more excited than him.

Zhang Wen picked up a shared bicycle and pedaled and sang along the way.

"Today is a good day, everything in my mind can be accomplished..."

Things that didn’t exist before are now available.

Money, girlfriend, and more, just thinking about it makes me happy.

Back to the training department.

As soon as Zhang Wen sat down, the female colleague next to him came over curiously.

"Teacher Zhang, what are you so happy about? Did you win the lottery?"

Zhang Wen smiled. Winning the lottery was nothing compared to 432 million.

Just when he was about to find an excuse to get away with it, he saw Xu Qingyu suddenly walk out of the office, and his steps were very fast, as if he had something urgent to do.

The female colleague immediately turned around and lowered her head, pretending to look at the documents.

Zhang Wen looked at Director Xu curiously, their eyes met directly. His intuition told him that the other party was looking for him.

"Teacher Zhang!" Xu Qingyu stopped and looked at the young man in front of him and said, "Go to Deputy General Manager Liu's office. He has something important to discuss with you."

Zhang Wen was puzzled by this. Vice President Liu was the second-in-command of the company, so why would he need help? And it was such an important matter?

Could it be that the matter of collecting special training fees from trainees was reported to Vice President Liu?

While this wasn't a big deal, it was a violation of company policy.

He stood up and asked cautiously, "Director, what does Mr. Liu want to see me about?"

Xu Qingyu shook her head and said, "I don't know. Mr. Liu didn't tell me on the phone, and his tone was very flat. I couldn't tell if it was a good thing or... You haven't done anything bad recently, have you?"

Zhang Wen blinked. Whether he had done something bad or not depended mainly on Mr. Liu's definition of bad.

If Mr. Liu thinks that collecting special training fees from trainees is a bad thing, or that dating Bai Lu is a bad thing, he has indeed done something bad. But if we use national law as the standard, then he is a very good person.

Xu Qingyu was stunned when she saw Zhang Wen's thoughtful expression. She asked in surprise, "Did you really do something bad?"

Zhang Wen immediately gave a wry smile. "Director Xu, I'm just a low-level employee. What bad things could I possibly do? The worst I could do is leave the toilet unflushed."

Xu Qingyu thought about it and felt that what Xiao Zhang said made sense. Firstly, the training department was not a confidential department and there were no company secrets that could be leaked. Secondly, the other party had only been in the company for two months and he hadn't even recognized everyone yet. What bad things could he do?
"Go quickly. I've seen everything you've done over the past two months. Even if Mr. Liu wants to embarrass you, I'm still here."

Xu Qingyu patted Zhang Wen's shoulder to comfort him. This young man was now her right-hand man, and she didn't want anything to happen to him.

Zhang Wen nodded, then left his workstation and walked out of the training department.

The elevator slowly rose and finally stopped on the 15th floor.

Zhang Wen walked out, came to the outside of the deputy general manager's office, and knocked on the door.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

A few seconds later, the door opened from the inside, and the person who opened the door was Chen Yang, the director of the film and television production department.

Zhang Wen was stunned and thought: Could it be that Mr. Liu found out that I used company resources to take Du Wenjuan to the audition?

"Teacher Zhang, you're here. Please come in." Chen Yang said with a smile, then turned sideways to make way.

Zhang Wen looked at Director Chen's expression and felt relieved. It shouldn't be a bad thing, otherwise Director Chen wouldn't be able to smile.

"Hello, Director Chen."

He greeted politely and walked into the office.

Liu Haiyang stood up and walked out from behind his desk with a smile on his face. He pointed to the reception area and said, "Xiao Zhang is here. Come and sit down."

"Mr. Liu, are you looking for me?" Zhang Wen walked over and sat next to Mr. Liu. He was completely relieved at this moment.

"Xiao Zhang, what have you been busy with recently?" Liu Haiyang asked in a friendly manner.

"Mr. Liu, apart from training interns, I have been discussing the script with Director Han Xiaohua recently," Zhang Wen said truthfully.

"I heard that it was you who persuaded Director Han?" Liu Haiyang asked.

"I guess so." Zhang Wen nodded.

"Don't be so modest. I've heard from Gao Yue and Bai Lu. I really didn't expect you to invite Director Han, and I didn't expect you could actually write scripts. Teacher Zhang, you've given me so many surprises." Liu Haiyang's hearty laughter spread throughout the office.

Zhang Wen smiled faintly in response, thinking that if the other party knew that Gao Yue and Bai Lu were both his girlfriends, he would probably not be able to smile anymore.

"Xiao Zhang, this is what's going on." Liu Haiyang finally got to the point. "Regarding 'Perfect Days,' our company has already submitted the relevant documents for filing. It won't be long before we get the filming permit. This time, I'll be the producer, and Director Chen will be the assistant director, fully responsible for the preparatory work. Since you have a good relationship with Director Han, the casting will be left to you and Director Han. However, since this is a TV series invested in and produced by our company, I hope the male lead can be chosen from one of our own male artists..."

Zhang Wen was shocked. He didn't expect that the preparations would start so soon. He thought he would have to wait for a while.

"I'm OK!"

Zhang Wen answered very straightforwardly. He didn't care who the male lead was, as long as the second female lead was left to him.

Liu Haiyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with satisfaction.

Although the company invested, the proportion was not large, and the bulk of the expenses were paid by others, so he was not sure whether he could get the important resource of the male lead.

But since Xiao Zhang agreed personally, there should be no problem. After all, he is the one who has made arrangements with the coal boss, so he can definitely get the resources for a male lead.

"Xiao Zhang, the company is very interested in this TV series. You are the screenwriter and you are the one who made this project possible. I hope you can continue to work hard. The company will spare no effort to support you..."

Zhang Wen looked at Mr. Liu who was talking non-stop. He clearly remembered that when Bai Lu approached him about filming this TV series, he was not in favor and even added additional conditions for Bai Lu...

But if you think about it carefully, at that time, there was nothing except Bai Lu and the script. But now, with investment and a famous director, it is normal for the other party to be restless.

Sure enough, strength is everything!
