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

Chapter 186 Secretly Happy

Zhang Wen returned to the training center after having dinner with Gao Yue.

All the practitioners for the first class have arrived and started today’s meditation after burning incense.

After this period of "special training", all the negative personality derivatives of the trainees have been eliminated by him, and the reason why he did not stop the special training classes was entirely to gain incense.

However, as the TV series "Perfect Days" officially entered the preparation stage, according to Mr. Liu's intention, he would also have to join the crew as a screenwriter. By then, he might not have time to return to the training center for special training classes, let alone collect incense for his great-grandfather.

Therefore, he had to think of a best of both worlds before filming started, so that he could go to the crew and collect incense without delay.

Making money is important, but collecting incense for my great-grandfather is also important.

As the old saying goes: God is watching what you do.

What if he is not active in collecting incense offerings and his great grandfather abandons him in anger?
Great-grandfather is his greatest support now.

Zhang Wen looked at the meditating trainee and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

If they don't come to the training center, where should these trainees go to burn incense?

First, the location must be close and not in a remote place. Second, the location must be one that the trainees can actively and consciously go to. It would be best if there is someone to lead the trainees to prevent them from being lazy...

As he was thinking, a place suddenly popped up in his mind.

the company!

Yes, it’s the company.

That is where the trainees need to go every day. It fully meets these two requirements, and there are training teachers there. When he goes to the crew, he can ask Teacher Lin and others to lead the trainees to burn incense.

As for where to burn incense, once he leaves, practice room 9 will be vacant, perfect for burning incense.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wen's mood immediately relaxed.

This way, he will have more time to himself after get off work.

Wouldn’t it be nice to earn some extra money by treating artists’ insomnia?

It’s okay to drink or drive for someone else!

Anyway, he has harvested all the leeks in the training department, and he will have to wait until new trainees join the company to harvest more.

Soon, the one-hour special training class ended.

"Clap clap clap!"

Zhang Wen clapped his hands, and after everyone looked over, he said, "Classmates, after these days of training, I think you should have felt the changes in yourselves. I'm very happy that you have mastered the essentials of meditation in such a short time. Today is the last class of the special training course, and you don't need to come here anymore..."

"what?"

Surprised voices rang out one after another, and everyone looked in disbelief.

The special training class was going well, why did it end suddenly?
Everyone looked at each other, feeling very confused, but more of a sense of reluctance.

Because since coming to Teacher Zhang’s special training class, everyone can feel the changes in themselves, and these changes are not only reflected in their specialties, but also in their personality.

I used to be careless and sloppy, but now I am careful and attentive. I used to be lazy and procrastinate, but now I am diligent and proactive...

There are many similar things, and these all happened after I came to the special training class and learned meditation.

Now that it has suddenly been announced to be over, no one can accept it for a while.

"Teacher Zhang, why is it over so soon? I haven't had enough lessons yet." Someone couldn't help but say.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, how about we pay the tuition and let us study with you for a while?"

"Teacher, please don't give up on us!"

Everyone spoke up, their faces filled with anxiety.

"Clap clap clap!"

Zhang Wen clapped his hands, and the noisy classroom became quiet instantly.

"My special training class mainly teaches meditation to train your psychology. Since you have mastered the method now, you can practice on your own when you go back. You don't have to come to me. Do you understand what I mean?" Zhang Wen said.

He could only collect the tuition for the special training course once, because it was the labor fee for eliminating negative personality derivatives. He should make money from this money, but if he collected it again, it would be pure fraud.

Although he likes money, he also has principles.

He will earn the money that he deserves, but he will not take the money that he does not deserve even if it is offered to him.

He is a businessman, not a liar.

"But, but I think your class, Teacher Zhang, is more effective." said one of the trainees.

"That's a psychological effect," Zhang Wen said. "Starting tomorrow, you'll meditate for an hour every night before bed. It might be uncomfortable at first, but it will get better over time. You have to understand one thing: I can't teach you forever. You'll eventually have to face problems on your own."

"..."

After hearing this, everyone stopped insisting on continuing the class.

Zhang Wen glanced around and suddenly laughed again. "Why are you feeling so down? You're just leaving the special training class, not the company. I'm still working in the training department and I'm still your teacher. If you encounter any problems, you can come to me as before."

After hearing these words, everyone's expressions relaxed a lot.

"One more thing. Although the special training class has ended, we must not forget to burn incense to Wenquxingjun. I will hang his portrait in practice room 9. You can go there to burn incense and pray for blessings after work. I want to reiterate that this is not feudal superstition, but a spiritual sustenance for a better future. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

Everyone said in unison.

Although until now, no one understands why Teacher Zhang favors only the God of Literature, but since Teacher Zhang said that he wants to worship him, there must be a reason for that. Besides, the trainees go to and from school every day, and their lives are very boring, so it is a good thing to have a spiritual sustenance.

It's better than going out and drinking alone.

"Okay, get out of class is over!"

"Goodbye, Teacher Zhang!"

"..."

Everyone walked out of the classroom one after another, and soon the second group of trainees entered the classroom.

After the second special training session, Zhang Wen repeated his previous words, and then the third group of trainees...

10 pm.

Zhang Wen stood outside the training center, watching the trainees gradually go away, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, he finished the special training class and had more time to do his own things. Just as he was about to go back to the classroom to get the electric car, a white Mercedes-Benz G slowly stopped by the roadside, and then he saw someone get out of the driver's seat.

The combination of baseball cap and mask almost covers the entire face, while the long windbreaker covers the part above the calves tightly.

If it weren't for the pair of gourd shoes on his feet, you couldn't even tell whether he was a man or a woman.

But even so, it could not be hidden from Zhang Wen's sharp eyes, not to mention the car that took him to work in the morning.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Wen asked with some confusion. It was already past 10 o'clock in the evening. Why was the other party not at home getting a beauty sleep but coming to him?
"I know your special training class will last until very late, so I'm here to bring you some midnight snacks." Bai Lu said as he raised the bag in his hand.

Zhang Wen looked at the words printed on the outside of the bag. It was a very famous restaurant in Beijing, well-known for its raw pickled food, and the prices were also very high.

As for why he knew, it was because he had gone to pick up takeout.

"I feel a little embarrassed that you care about me so much." Zhang Wen reached out and took the bag from the woman's hand, then pulled her into the training center and carefully locked the door from the inside.

"You are my boyfriend. If I don't care about you, should I let other women care about you? How about it, am I a competent girlfriend? Are you touched?" Bai Lu asked with a smile, taking off her hat and mask, revealing her pretty face.

"Yeah, I'm touched." Zhang Wen nodded, so moved that tears were already flowing from his mouth.

He could already smell the raw pickle.

"Hehe, you can be happy to have a celebrity girlfriend like me who is rich, pretty, and considerate." Bai Lu said proudly.

"It's the same for you. Didn't you find a boyfriend who is talented, handsome, and good at both literature and martial arts? You can also be happy about it." Zhang Wen said.

Bai Lu wanted to call the other person shameless, but he also felt that what he said seemed to be right, so he said with a smile: "I won't be happy secretly, I just want to be happy openly, hahahaha!"

The arrogant laughter echoed in the corridor, sounding like the laughter of the villains on TV.

Zhang Wen came to the classroom and took out the lunch boxes from the bag one by one. Bai Lu bought a lot, including raw marinated crabs, raw marinated shrimps, raw marinated sashimi and raw marinated scallops. It looked very rich.

"Do you like it?" Bai Lu asked.

"Yeah, I like it." Zhang Wen nodded. For the past twenty years, he was very happy to be able to eat his fill, so he was never picky about food.

"I'm talking about me." Bai Lu said.

"what?"

Zhang Wen looked up in confusion, only to see that the woman was wearing a white slim-fitting suspender skirt under her open windbreaker, which formed a strong visual contrast with the black matte stockings on her legs. Zhang Wen was stunned by the sight, and felt a sense of surprise as if he had opened a blind box.

This little devil always challenges his bottom line.

"I'm talking about you." Zhang Wen swallowed unconsciously.

There were oysters in the raw marinated food, and he couldn't help but wonder which one was the real midnight snack.

Bai Lu smiled brightly, very satisfied with the man's reaction. She wrapped the windbreaker around herself again, just like wrapping the filling in dumplings, and then sat opposite the man.

"Are you hungry? Eat quickly."

"..."

Zhang Wen's hands trembled unconsciously. He thought he was going to be asked to review the stockings again. What a pity.

He put on gloves, picked up the raw pickled crab and took a bite. It was like jelly, icy cold, sweet and salty with a hint of spicy.

I wasn't hungry at first, but after a few bites, my appetite was immediately whetted.

"You eat too." Zhang Wen said to the woman in front of him.

Although the other person was wearing a windbreaker, the calf part below the knee was still exposed, which made him really want to evaluate it.

"You eat it, I'm losing weight, and I like watching you eat, it makes me feel like the food is delicious." Bai Lu said after hearing it.

Zhang Wen knew that these female stars needed to strictly manage their figures, so he stopped trying to persuade them and started eating with big mouthfuls.

"correct……"

Zhang Wen suddenly thought of something and said to Bai Lu, "Boss Liu came to me today. 'Perfect Days' has already started preparations for filming. He's personally producing it, and it's expected to start in June. During this time, you need to work hard to improve yourself and silence those who are skeptical of you."

If it were in the past, he would never say such words to the other person, but it is different now. The other person is his girlfriend. How can he tolerate his girlfriend being looked down upon?
Bai Lu smiled wryly upon hearing this. "I want to make those people shut up, and I want to blind their eyes, but Director Han is notoriously strict in the industry. Although I want him to be the director, I'm also afraid of being scolded by him if I don't perform well. You don't know, even the Best Actress has been scolded to tears by him."

"Really? That makes me feel relieved." Zhang Wen said.

"What are you reassured about?" Bai Lu frowned slightly. Why did the other person's words sound so awkward?
Director Han cursed, shouldn't this man be worried about her? Why is he relieved?

"I was worried that Director Han wouldn't take this drama seriously and would make a bad one. But after hearing what you said, I can rest assured as a screenwriter that Director Han will be in charge of the actors' acting skills and the quality of the TV series. I don't want my script to be criticized," Zhang Wen explained.

He also has a movie script and may get a TV drama script in the future. Naturally, he wants to make a name for himself this time and pave the way for selling scripts in the future.

If the TV series produced by Director Han have high ratings, he as the screenwriter will naturally benefit from it. If the TV series produced by Director Han have low ratings, he as the screenwriter will inevitably be scolded by the audience.

Bai Lu looked at the man in a daze. What he said seemed to be correct. In fact, she also hoped that Director Han could be stricter. After all, it was a rare opportunity to work with such a great director. If she could improve her acting skills during the filming process, it would not be a good thing. It would be better if Director Han did not scold her.

"Ugh!"

Zhang Wen looked at the sighing woman and couldn't help laughing.

I'm already getting stage fright before filming even starts. Isn't this worrying too much?
"Don't worry, I'm here. I'll go too," Zhang Wen comforted.

After hearing this, Bai Lu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stamped his foot and said, "Yes, and you too. If Director Han scolds someone, you can hypnotize him."

"?"

Zhang Wen was completely speechless.

If he hypnotizes the director, who will take over and continue filming this TV series? If it fails, who will be held responsible?
"Stop dreaming. The most I can do is prevent Director Han from pointing at you and scolding you. As the old saying goes, a blacksmith must be strong himself. If you don't want to be scolded, you'd better seize the time and work hard to improve yourself." Zhang Wen said.

Bai Lu naturally knew this truth. Recently, she has not only been studying the script frantically and carefully researching every scene, but also preparing to experience life.

Isn't the heroine a teacher at a school for the deaf? She is contacting the school and has already hired a sign language teacher. She will officially start learning sign language tomorrow.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered that the man in front of her was also a teacher, so she moved her stool to his side and put her arm around his. "Boyfriend, can you help me?"

Zhang Wen sighed inwardly. When it came to filming, he just wanted to help Director Han.

A strict teacher produces good students, and only a strict director can produce a good play.

"It's not that I don't want to help, it's really..."

"What do you think of my stockings? Do you want to touch them?" Bai Lu asked with a blink of his eyes, then grabbed the man's ungloved hand and placed it on his leg.

"Well, I will definitely help if I can. If I don't help you, who else can I help?" Zhang Wen said seriously, and began to assess the other person's legs.
