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

Chapter 227 Taking on a mission in a time of crisis?

Zhang Wen drove back to the company. The moment the car entered the underground parking lot, he instantly felt that the more than 3 million yuan he spent was extremely worthwhile.

He no longer had to worry about heavy rain getting his shoes wet, even though those shoes were only worth a hundred dollars.

After Zhang Wen parked the car, he pushed open the door. Before getting out of the car, he looked back at the spacious seat space in the back row, wondering if he could use it.

Really looking forward to it.

In his mind, he had already started imagining the scene of communicating with Bai Lu in the car, which was simply too inappropriate for children.

Zhang Wen took the elevator back to the training department. Perhaps because there were only a few minutes left before the end of the get off work day, most of his colleagues were in the office, and they were all dressed neatly. On the surface, they seemed to be busy, but in fact, they were ready to go, waiting for the moment when the clock pointed to 5 o'clock.

When he returned to his workstation and waited for the end of get off work with everyone, he heard a "click" and then the entire office area fell silent.

It’s Director Xu!

In an instant, all the employees lowered their heads and pretended to be working seriously, for fear that they would be discovered slacking off by the director who walked out of the office.

Except Zhang Wen.

His eyes were fixed on the clock on the wall and did not move away because of Director Xu's appearance. It was as if he did not even see Director Xu appear.

The attitude is extremely arrogant.

In fact, his attention was all focused on the clock and he didn't notice Director Xu. It wasn't that he didn't take Director Xu seriously, but it was just that getting off work was too important to him. He even couldn't wait to fly back to Bai Lu's home and have a good communication with Bai Lu before the sign language teacher started the class.

Don't say he's lustful.

Ten out of ten men are lustful. This is 100% true. There is no such thing as an individual lustful person. It’s just that some are lusty towards women, and some are lusty towards men.

Xu Qingyu walked to the office area and stopped, looking around. When he saw Zhang Wen, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. After thinking carefully for a moment, he finally walked over.

"Teacher Zhang, come to my office for a moment." Xu Qingyu said in a low voice, then returned to the office.

Zhang Wen looked at Director Xu's back, his heart full of doubts. There was only one minute left before the end of get off work. Calling him at this time, could it be that they wanted him to work overtime?
Do all leaders like to ask their employees to work overtime just before the end of the day?
He sighed secretly in his heart, then stood up and walked towards Director Xu's office. It seemed that he would not be able to get off work on time today.

Sometimes being too capable is not necessarily a good thing.

"Director, are you looking for me?" Zhang Wen looked at Director Xu after entering the room, thinking about how to refuse the unreasonable request for overtime.

"Teacher Zhang, I heard that you can drink a lot? Is that true?" Xu Qingyu asked with a serious expression, as if there was something very important.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wen immediately guessed that the overtime might be related to drinking, so he asked, "Director Xu, who told you this? Do I look like someone who can drink?"

"Agent Gao said so."

"Well, look at me like this, I can drink at one glance. What's the matter with the director? Will I get a raise if I can drink?" Zhang Wen didn't expect that the person who betrayed him would be Gao Yue, that leg-beautiful girl. Wouldn't this delay his get off work?

I must teach that woman a lesson later. I will not forgive her unless she wears shiny stockings.

"I can't increase your salary, but I can give you a few days off," said Xu Qingyu.

"Have a holiday?"

After hearing this, Zhang Wen immediately became excited.

For workers, being able to take paid vacation is such a wonderful thing. It doesn’t matter even if they are punished by taking paid vacation for their entire lives.

It was just right that he could use the holiday to volunteer at other special education schools, subdue more negative personality derivatives, and gain more opportunities to receive blessings from the Star God.

Of course, these are secondary. The main thing is that he likes to help the future flowers of the motherland thrive.

"Director, what's the matter?" Zhang Wen walked over and his expression became extremely positive.

"Well, one of the company's important tasks this year is to deepen cooperation with various internet video platforms, including variety shows, film and television, etc..."

"Tonight, our General Manager Li is hosting a banquet for Mr. Wang from Qiyi Video. He has an incredible alcohol tolerance, and he has a secretary who's also a heavy drinker. You could think of this secretary as someone who's specifically there to keep him from getting drunk..."

"In order to achieve this cooperation, our CEO, Mr. Li, is currently searching the entire company for anyone who can drink. Anyone who can drink all the alcohol will have accomplished a great feat. They can rest as long as they want afterward, and they'll even be valued by CEO Li..."

Xu Qingyu finished speaking in one breath.

In fact, this matter has nothing to do with her, but she has worked in the training department for so many years and wants to go one step further and become the company's vice president, so she wants to find someone in the training department who can handle alcohol to solve Mr. Li's urgent problem.

In addition, considering the changes that Xiao Zhang brought to the training department, she believes that she is absolutely capable of competing for the position of vice president.

But after looking around, it seems that this important task still falls on Xiao Zhang.

"Teacher Zhang, how much can you drink? If you can't, don't force yourself." Xu Qingyu said.

She only heard from Gao Yue that Teacher Zhang could drink, but Gao Yue didn't tell her how much he could drink, so she didn't know.

Different people have different standards for "being able to drink". For those who don't drink at all, two bottles of beer are considered drinkable, but for those who have been drinking for a long time, two bottles of beer are like gargling.

When Zhang Wen heard the word "no", his expression immediately became serious.

Men can’t say no!
It has to work whether it works or not, and he really can do it.

"Director, I can do it." Zhang Wen said seriously.

Although he was anxious to go home, what if he went back a little later for the sake of paid leave?
Coming home late once can mean I can wait for Bai Lu to come home every day in the future. It’s worth it.

"Are you sure?" Xu Qingyu asked.

"Sure." Zhang Wen nodded heavily.

"Teacher Zhang, I was right about you. Okay, I'll tell Mr. Li right away." After Xu Qingyu finished speaking, he took out his cell phone from his pocket and called Mr. Li.

Soon, the call was connected.

"Mr. Li, I'm Xu Qingyu. I'd like to recommend someone to you: Zhang Wen from our department... Can he drink two or three pounds? No problem..."

As Xu Qingyu spoke, he looked at Zhang Wen next to him. After seeing him nod, he felt relieved and at the same time marveled that he could actually drink two or three kilograms. Although he might not be able to win over Mr. Wang from Qiyi Video, he was also qualified to sit at the table.

Not long after, the call ended.

Xu Qingyu put down his phone and said excitedly, "Teacher Zhang, come on, I'll take you to meet Mr. Li. If I can be promoted to vice president in the future, you will be the director of the training department!"

"Ok?"

Zhang Wen was slightly stunned. Was he hallucinating? Director Xu was being promoted to Vice President? How come he had never heard of this before?
Or maybe Director Xu is just promising him something?
As a worker, he doesn't buy into empty promises.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether he is a director or not. What he cares about is the paid leave.

Xu Qingyu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had just accidentally said what was in his heart.

It’s too early to be happy now since we haven’t even started yet.

"Let's go."

Xu Qingyu pointed outside the door and walked out of the office.

Zhang Wen followed Director Xu. As it was already time to get off work, there were only a few teachers left in the office area outside. The other thirty or so people had already left.

Ugh!
He sighed secretly, feeling envious.

But there is no way. The greater your ability, the more work you do and the later you get off work.

The two took the elevator upstairs.

This was Zhang Wen's first time meeting the company's general manager, and he couldn't help but feel curious about the head of Tianxi Media.

Xu Qingyu stood outside the general manager's office and knocked gently on the door.

"Come in."

"?!"

Zhang Wen couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard the voice. A female voice?

Could it be that Mr. Li is a woman?
Xu Qingyu pushed open the door and Zhang Wen quickly followed in.

There was a woman in her forties sitting behind the desk. She had dignified features, short hair, gold-framed glasses, and a white business suit. She looked very capable and had an aura of at least 1.8 meters.

Is this the general manager of Tianxi Media?
At this moment, Zhang Wen finally understood why the other party was in a hurry to find an employee who could drink.

"Mr. Li, I brought the person to you." Xu Qingyu said.

Li Lehua looked at him and asked with a smile, "Are you Zhang Wen from the training department? I've been hearing your name a lot lately. You improved the training department's teaching methods, helped Bai Lu invite Director Han Xiaohua, and even secured 80 million in investment... I didn't expect you to be so young."

"Mr. Li also looks very young." Zhang Wen said after hearing this.

Xu Qingyu's face changed and he looked at Teacher Zhang beside him in surprise, thinking: Is he teasing Mr. Li?

Li Lehua didn't expect that this young man was not afraid of her, so she asked with interest: "How old do you think I am?"

"42."

"..."

Xu Qingyu's eyes changed. She thought Teacher Zhang was at the first level, but she didn't expect that the other party was at the atmosphere level. She felt ashamed of herself for such flattery.

In fact, Ms. Li is already 51 years old, but a woman who has been weathered and treated kindly by time will always look younger.

From a woman's perspective, Mr. Li really doesn't look like someone over 50.

Li Lehua smiled. 42? There are even decimal places?

"How did you figure that out? Why isn't it 41, or 43?"

"Actually, you look 40, but I also know you're definitely not 40, so I took the liberty of adding two years. One is too little, and three is too much," Zhang Wen explained seriously.

"!!" Xu Qingyu was shocked.

It's actually a series of flattery?
Li Lehua smiled even more happily, looking at Xu Qingyu and said, "Director Xu, Teacher Zhang is quite interesting. Has he said something similar to you?"

"No." Xu Qingyu shook his head.

Li Lehua's smile faded slightly, and he returned his gaze to the young man's face. "I heard from Director Xu that you can drink two or three kilograms of liquor? Tonight's dinner is very important. You can't deliberately exaggerate your alcohol tolerance just to get close to me. If I catch you lying at the table, don't worry about my rudeness."

At the end of her words, although the woman still had a smile on her face, her voice was terribly cold, like a knife.

It wasn't that she was fickle, it was simply that there were too many people in the company trying every possible way to get close to her, including those male celebrities. Like peacocks, they all wanted to show off in front of her and gain her favor. As for their purpose, it was nothing more than to gain her attention and support, and obtain a large amount of resources...

Zhang Wen smiled nonchalantly and asked, "Mr. Li, I heard that if I can help you block the drinking, I can get paid leave. I wonder how many days this leave is?"

Li Lehua's expression froze. Could it be that this young man was not coming for her, but for the paid vacation?

This is the first time I've met such a person.

At least that's the first person to say that.

"How about three days?" Li Lehua asked.

This situation has happened before. Those who did not end up in the hospital due to drinking were given one day off, and those who ended up in the hospital due to drinking were given three days off. After all, they drank for the company, so it was considered an industrial injury.

Zhang Wen frowned. Three days was a bit too short. He thought he could get a week of paid vacation.

However, at his current rate of subduing negative personality derivatives, he would have many opportunities to receive blessings from the Star Gods within three days.

"It's okay." Zhang Wen said.

"!"

Xu Qingyu was sweating profusely on her forehead. She winked at Teacher Zhang repeatedly, begging him not to speak nonsense in front of Mr. Li again.

improvise?

Do you think Mr. Li is discussing this with you?

Just when she was getting anxious, there was another knock on the door.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

Li Lehua looked at Zhang Wen deeply, then said to the outside of the door: "Come in."

As the office door opened from the outside, a man in his forties walked in. He was wearing a business suit, his leather shoes were polished to a shine, his hair was combed meticulously, and he had a flattering smile on his handsome face.

"Mr. Li..." The man was halfway through his words when he saw that there were other people in the office. He restrained his smile a little, nodded politely at Xu Qingyu, and continued, "I'm ready."

Xu Qingyu raised her eyebrows slightly, she recognized this person.

The other person was an artist from the company, named Wu Ziming. He had been signed to the company for over a decade and had acted in numerous films and TV series, but his popularity had remained tepid. However, he had one special skill: a high alcohol tolerance. It was said he could drink two and a half kilograms. He also knew how to please wealthy women. Boss Li used to often take him out for social events...

Li Lehua nodded gently, thinking of the question he hadn't asked just now, and looked at Zhang Wen and asked, "How much white wine can you drink at most?"

"I don't know, I haven't tried it." Zhang Wen replied.

"What? Didn't you say two or three pounds is no problem?" Li Lehua was a little dissatisfied.

"Yes, two or three kilograms is indeed no problem, but didn't you ask me how much I can drink at most? I have never been drunk, so I didn't deliberately try to test how much I can drink." Zhang Wen said truthfully.

Li Lehua narrowed his eyes. "Two or three pounds and not drunk?" Isn't that a bit exaggerated?

Wu Ziming, who was standing by, felt the threat from the young man and said, "You've never been drunk. Is that because you've only had a few drinks? You look so young, you must have just graduated a few years ago. Have you ever been to a drinking party?"

Zhang Wen turned around and looked over. "Are you here to snatch my three days of paid vacation?"

"Ah?" Wu Ziming was stunned and didn't understand what the other party meant for a moment.

Zhang Wen looked at the woman sitting behind the desk and said, "Boss Li, are you deliberately using someone to goad me into a sense of urgency and reduce my paid vacation days? If so, I'm quitting. I won't do it for less than three days."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

For a moment, everyone in the office was stunned.

Why are young people so bad-tempered?

Don’t you know where this is?

Did you drink it before coming here?

Otherwise, where would the confidence come from?
