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

Chapter 215: The circle of noble ladies?
May 1st, International Labor Day.

It was a holiday, but it had nothing to do with Zhang Wen.

He arrived at the hotel early and called the trainees who were participating in the casting into a room, reminding them of some relevant matters that needed to be paid attention to during the audition.

Yesterday, the female characters in the play were selected, and today, the male characters are selected. In addition to the male lead who has already been selected by Director Han, other major male roles, such as the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh male characters will be determined today.

If yesterday was a day full of beautiful women, then today is a day full of handsome men.

After explaining things to the trainees, Zhang Wen announced the disbandment. He had said everything he needed to say, and the rest depended on how these people performed.

He came to the casting room and saw director Han Xiaohua as soon as he entered. He was standing by the window, looking at the actor's information in his hand.

"Good morning, Director Han!" Zhang Wen took the initiative to greet him.

Han Xiaohua turned around after hearing the voice. When he saw that the person coming was Zhang Wen, his eyes immediately lit up. They were not as bright as when he was selecting the actress yesterday.

"Brother Zhang!"

Han Xiaohua strode forward, put his arm around Zhang Wen's shoulders affectionately, and said excitedly, "Your sister-in-law slept until 11: this morning, a full hours. She said it was the best sleep she'd had in recent years. It relieved her sleepiness and fatigue, and she felt her whole body had become lighter. She asked me to thank you very much."

"My sister-in-law is so polite. If she wants to thank me, she can make another plate of fried meatballs tonight. To be honest, she didn't eat enough last night." Zhang Wen said after hearing this.

His emotions didn't fluctuate much. After all, it was expected. If his sister-in-law didn't sleep well last night, that would be a problem.

And last night was the first night. As my sleep quality improves, my physical condition will only get better and better. Last night was just the beginning.

You should know that the quality of sleep is closely related to a person's physical condition.

"No problem. When I left this morning, your sister-in-law kept telling me to come to her house for dinner tonight." Han Xiaohua said with a smile, "By the way, your sister-in-law also said that there are many residents in our community who often suffer from insomnia and nightmares. If you have time, she can help you find someone."

A hint of excitement flashed in Zhang Wen's eyes.

The high-end villa area is inhabited by wealthy ladies who have plenty of money. She likes to serve these wealthy ladies. Not only can she make money, but she can also expand her network, which may be useful in the future.

"Then I would like to thank my sister-in-law in advance. I will have time after the casting is completed." Zhang Wen said, feeling that countless hundreds of thousands of people were waving to him.

and many more!

Perhaps the "Life Essence" can also be sold to wealthy ladies. No woman can refuse it just for the beauty and skin care function, not to mention that it can also strengthen the body.

In the eyes of those rich ladies, one million is probably just the money for two or three bags.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wen couldn't help but get excited, but before breaking into the circle of rich ladies, he should first solve the problem of Xiantao.

Although he had obtained a lot of fairy peaches some time ago, in order to strengthen his physique and increase his attack power against monsters, he ate all of them, and now there is not a single one left.

How to produce "Life Essence" without fairy peaches?
At this stage, the only way to obtain fairy peaches is to be blessed by the Star God, and to obtain the Star God's blessing, one needs to kill or educate monsters.

With his current attack power, he can easily destroy the intermediate negative personality derivatives and obtain the blessing of the Star God, but if he does that casually while standing on the street, wouldn't that be giving those people an advantage?

It seems that I can only go to the special education school to volunteer.

There are a total of 20 special education schools in the entire capital, and the one where Bai Lu is currently interning is just one of them.

By the way, you can also wait outside ordinary schools, such as kindergartens, elementary schools, and junior high schools. There are also children with mental illnesses in these schools, but no one pays attention to them.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wen's eyes flashed with determination.

The task of protecting the healthy growth of the next generation of the motherland is entrusted to me.

you are welcome!
After chatting for a few more minutes, the casting process officially began.

Today’s casting starts with the second male lead.

The second male lead is also considered the protagonist, so the male actors who come to audition are all very well-known male stars, including many powerful male actors who have won mainstream awards.

Although Zhang Wen had no interest in male stars, for the sake of the TV series, he still forced himself to cheer up and provided Director Han with his own opinions and ideas on casting, trying his best to restore every character in the script.

As for how he knew the character's appearance...

He is the spokesperson for my great-grandfather. The two are connected by blood and share the same thoughts. His thoughts must be the same as my great-grandfather's thoughts. It's that simple.

Before he knew it, it was noon and Zhang Wen was ready to go outside the hotel to get some fresh air.

I stayed in the room for several hours and kept looking at men. I felt so uncomfortable that I urgently needed to go to the street to see some beautiful women to relieve my eye fatigue.

As a result, as soon as he went out, he saw Director Chen again. He didn't say anything, but stuffed another room card into his pocket, and his eyes seemed to say: You know.

I don’t understand!

Zhang Wen did not go to the room listed on the room card, but took the elevator directly to leave.

Yesterday, the person who came to audition was a female actress. Even if her acting skills were poor, she was a beauty after all, and he didn't mind being alone with her for a while. But today, the people who came to audition were all male actors. What was he going to do?
What the hell, what do you take him for?

It wasn't until I stood outside the hotel and watched the beauties coming in and out that I felt much better.

The day passed quickly.

evening.

The business car was parked outside Director Han's house. At the same time, there were three cars parked on the side of the road, including a Rolls-Royce, a Bentley, and a Land Rover, all of which were luxury cars worth millions.

Zhang Wen followed Director Han out of the car and caught a glimpse of the luxury car nearby. He wondered if Director Han had guests coming to his house tonight.

In response, Han Xiaohua just glanced at it indifferently, then walked to the door and rang the doorbell.

“Ding Dong!” “Ding Dong!” “Ding Dong!”

"Crack!"

As the door opened, Xu Li's enthusiastic voice came from inside.

"Xiao Zhang, you're here, come in quickly..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled the person inside.

"Hello sister-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you and Director Han again." Zhang Wen said politely.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm so happy you're here, how can I be bothering you?" Xu Li said with a smile. She slept for 11 hours last night and woke up feeling refreshed this morning. She felt energetic all day and even went to the gym that afternoon. She felt a few years younger.

Zhang Wen walked in and found that there were other people in the living room, three women.

They look to be in their early forties, with pretty faces, exquisite dress, noble temperament, and the aura of a lady from head to toe.

Such women, because of proper maintenance, are often older than they appear, just like Xu Shihou, who is obviously fifty years old but looks only forty-one or forty-two years old.

"Come here, Xiao Zhang. Let me introduce you." Xu Lila pulled Zhang Wen over and pointed at the three ladies in the living room. "These three are my neighbors, Sister Wang, Sister Su, and Sister Yang."

After hearing this, Zhang Wen looked at the three women. One was slender and wore a long black skirt. One was plump and wore a white plaid jacket and a short black plaid skirt. The last one had the best figure of the three, with a curvaceous figure. She wore a gold dress and a white shawl.

All three of them look very elegant. Although their identities are unknown, one can tell at a glance that they are wealthy ladies.

"Hello Sister Wang, Hello Sister Su, Hello Sister Yang." Zhang Wen greeted them one by one.

He remembered what Director Han had said during the day, that many owners in the community suffered from insomnia and nightmares, and his sister-in-law wanted to introduce him to some, no need to ask, it must be these three.

The three women looked at the young man in front of them at the same time. If it weren't for Xu Li's strong recommendation, they would never have been able to connect the young man in front of them with an expert.

In order to treat insomnia, they have visited many hospitals and seen many experts, but this is the first time they have met someone so young, so they can't help but feel a little skeptical.

After all, in the field of treating diseases, the older you are, the more experience you have and the stronger your ability.

Like the experts in the hospital, which one of them is not in his fifties or sixties?
The three of them just nodded in response and didn't say anything.

Xu Li immediately noticed the three neighbors' suspicion and said with a smile, "Don't underestimate Xiao Zhang's age. As the old saying goes, 'the waves behind push the waves ahead.' He's a very famous psychologist with unique treatment methods for anxiety and depression, and even the insomnia and dreaminess caused by them. Isn't that right, Xiao Zhang?"

After saying that, he blinked at Zhang Wen, as if urging him: Introduce yourself quickly, it’s okay to brag, but we have real skills, so what are we afraid of?
Zhang Wen smiled faintly and said modestly, "It's just a trifle. China is full of hidden talents. I'm far behind those true experts."

"?"

Xu Li was stunned when she heard this, and her expression became a little stiff.

Before, she had praised Xiao Zhang in front of her three neighbors, saying how powerful his hypnosis was and how effective it was for insomnia, much better than those experts in big hospitals.

Of course, she did this not only to help Xiao Zhang, but also to deepen the relationship with these neighbors.

The three people invited to the house today are all people of status and position, and their families are very powerful. A TV queen like her, even if she is the wife of a famous director, cannot compare to her.

To be honest, her relationship with these neighbors is very ordinary, mainly because she can't enter this circle of wealthy ladies at all. When they occasionally take photos together, she always stands at the edge and no one pays attention to her.

If she could help the three neighbors, she might be able to break into this circle of wealthy ladies, which would be of great help to her and her husband in the future.

In fact, she had tried before, such as trying to please the other person, but it was useless. The other person had everything he needed, and his family was better than hers in every way, so she couldn't find any opportunities at all.

If you flatter too much, you will be laughed at.

If you want to get closer to someone, besides trying to please them, you also need to help solve their problems. Since trying to please them is useless, you can only choose the latter.

And Xiao Zhang is the key to helping her solve the problem.

There was nothing wrong with what Xiao Zhang said just now. Young people should be humble. But the problem was that she had said a lot of compliments in front of the three ladies before. Now that Xiao Zhang was so humble, it seemed that she was exaggerating.

Those who know her think she is pragmatic, while those who don’t think she likes to brag.

Obviously, the three neighbors in front of us are the ones who don’t know.

However, Han Xiaohua, who was standing by, understood Brother Zhang very well after seeing this.

As the old saying goes: It’s not a good deal if you chase after others.

Being too proactive or wishful thinking often backfires.

Especially when it comes to medical treatment, it is the patients who take the initiative to seek medical treatment. How can a doctor rush to treat the patients?

Just like him, when Brother Zhang wanted to treat his insomnia, he was full of doubts and even thought that the other party was a liar. If he had not been moved after reading the script, he would not even give the other party a chance to treat his illness.

I think the three neighbors my wife called over must be feeling the same way now.

Although we are called neighbors, we don’t actually interact with each other very often. After all, the community is so big and we all drive to and from the community, so we rarely meet. At most, we meet when we are taking a walk in the community.

He even felt that Brother Zhang had a good sense of measure in his words. If he was too active or praised himself, he would be disliked by these ladies.

After all, there are too many flatterers and braggarts around these people.

"Since it's just a trivial skill, I don't think there's any need to watch it." Wang Bei said in a flat tone, and never stood up from beginning to end.

Even if this is someone else's home.

"You're right. I've seen many experts, but none of them could cure my insomnia." Yang Yuhong said, looking at the woman sitting next to her. "Sister Su, what do you think?"

"It's getting late. I think we should go home." Su Yang said expressionlessly, but there was a hint of indifference in his voice.

When Xu Li heard this, she immediately became anxious. She had finally invited the three of them to her home, so how could she let them go so easily?

If she lets him go like this, how will she stay in the wealthy community in the future? Who will believe her?
"Don't be in a hurry to leave, everyone. Since you are here, why not give it a try and feel how it goes?" Xu Li asked hurriedly.

"Didn't you say that hypnosis takes a long time? We can't sleep here with you, right? Besides, I tried hypnosis and it didn't work." Wang Bei said after hearing this.

"Xiao Zhang's hypnosis is really different from others, Xiao Zhang..." Xu Li didn't know what to say, and finally could only ask Xiao Zhang for help. After all, Xiao Zhang was the expert and he must have a way to convince the three to stay.

Zhang Wen said calmly, "Since you three are here, I can't let you come in vain. How about this? I'll give you a simple massage on a few acupoints. If you feel good after going back, we can meet at my sister-in-law's place tomorrow night to discuss the follow-up treatment plan. If you feel there is no effect, just treat it as a trip over a stone. How about that?"

After hearing this, the three ladies were amused by the last metaphor. Then, seeing that the other party was a handsome young man, they immediately had the idea of giving it a try.

It’s just massaging a few acupoints, and it won’t waste too much time. Even if it’s what the other party said, since I’m here, I can’t come for nothing, right?

The three of them looked at each other and quickly reached an agreement.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance."

"..."
