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

Chapter 235 Flower Protector

As a new generation of young actress, Bai Lu has multiple commercial endorsements, and today she was invited by a clothing brand to promote the latest season of clothing.

The event will be held at the famous New Joy City Shopping Center, which not only houses numerous international and local brands, but also countless food and entertainment facilities. It combines eating, drinking, playing and shopping, making it an excellent place for shopping and leisure.

Zhang Wen had nothing to do, so he drove with Gao Yue and Bai Lu to the Xinyuecheng Shopping Center. On the one hand, he wanted to fill his stomach, and on the other hand, he wanted to see what Bai Lu usually did at work.

Half an hour later, the car drove into the underground parking lot of the shopping mall.

Zhang Wen did not go with Bai Lu, but took the elevator upstairs alone to see if there was anything delicious.

The sky and the earth are big, but nothing is bigger than filling your stomach; the people and the scenery are beautiful, but nothing is more beautiful than filling your stomach.

Probably because it was Saturday, there were quite a lot of people in the mall, especially on the first floor. Hundreds of people gathered around a makeshift stage, some holding celebrity posters and light boards in their hands.

Looking closely, isn’t the person in the picture Bai Lu?
In addition to Bai Lu, there was another man with a light board that read "Chen Xueqiu", which should be the name of this male star.

Zhang Wen bought two servings of fried chicken and a bottle of Coke, then stood behind the crowd, pretending to be a fan of Bai Lu.

Not long after, the host walked onto the stage and loudly announced the official start of today's event.

The first event was a model show. More than 30 models wore the latest summer clothes and showed them on the stage. The male models were tall and handsome, and the female models were tall and beautiful. They immediately attracted countless people's attention. Even passers-by stopped, crossed their legs and stretched their necks to admire the handsome men and beautiful women.

Some people may not be interested in this clothing brand, but no one is uninterested in handsome men and beautiful women. Everyone loves beauty, no matter how old they are.

Zhang Wen was watching with great interest, when suddenly an idea popped into his mind: when clothing brands promote their products, they would invite models to walk on the runway to showcase the clothes. Would stocking brands do the same when promoting their products?

If so, how cool would that be!
Soon, the model show ended and passionate music sounded at the scene.

"Now, please welcome our brand ambassadors Chen Xueqiu and Bai Lu to the stage."

As soon as the host's voice fell, the scene was suddenly filled with the screams and shouts of fans, so loud that it even drowned out the music and echoed throughout the entire shopping mall.

"Chen Xueqiu! Chen Xueqiu!"

"Bai Lu! Bai Lu!"

"Ah ah ah..."

Zhang Wen was startled by the fans around him and almost dropped the fried chicken in his hand. In particular, there was a female fan of Chen Xueqiu next to him who was shouting, jumping and waving her arms. She didn't even notice that she was stepping on someone's feet. She continued to shout with her head raised, trying to attract the star's attention.

And Zhang Wen was the victim whose foot was stepped on.

He looked at the stage. The male star was wearing casual clothes. Although he looked fair and clean, he also looked a little weak, giving people a effeminate feeling.

Is this type of young and handsome guy popular in the entertainment industry now?
Zhang Wen blinked and couldn't help but start to wonder if there was something wrong with his aesthetic taste.

To be honest, it’s more comfortable to watch someone repairing a cow’s hoof than to watch a star like this.

He turned his gaze to Bai Lu who was standing next to the male star. He remembered that when she left home, she was wearing a sports suit. But now, she was wearing a white dress that looked simple and generous. The slim design showed off her curvy figure to the fullest. Her smile was fresh and sweet, and she was worthy of the title of little flower.

In a word, it can be summed up in one word: beauty.

Zhang Wen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that there was absolutely nothing wrong with his aesthetic taste.

Next, the host took turns interviewing the two brand spokespersons, and Chen Xueqi and Bai Lu also did their job conscientiously and said a lot of good things about the brand.

As the saying goes: take money from others and do things for them.

The millions of dollars in endorsement fees every year are not earned for free.

Looking at Bai Lu standing on the stage with grace and elegance, Zhang Wen's mind unconsciously emerged with the other party's performance last night, and a smile appeared on his face. This feeling of contrast was really exciting.

"Does it look good?"

Suddenly a voice came from behind, and Zhang Wen knew who was speaking without turning around.

"nice."

"Compared with me?" Gao Yue continued to ask, obviously not satisfied with the previous answer.

"They are all beautiful, like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, each has its own beauty." Zhang Wen replied.

"What if I ask you to choose the best-looking one?" Gao Yue stared at the man, determined to get a satisfactory answer.

"Nothing is necessary, just like if I have a garden, I will never plant only one kind of flower." Zhang Wen said with a smile.

"This is the first time I've seen someone talk about being a playboy so confidently." Gao Yue clenched his fists tightly. He felt helpless and powerless when he thought that the person he liked was actually a playboy.

"I just don't know how to refuse." Zhang Wen said.

What's wrong with him?

He is just a man who is kind to women and doesn't know how to hurt them.

"..."

Gao Yue opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

In fact, it seems that it is not true to call this man a playboy. In the beginning, it was she and Bai Lu who took the initiative to pursue each other, and the other party just passively accepted it.

Moreover, the relationship between the three is open and transparent. Whether to leave or stay is entirely up to personal will, and no one forces anyone else.

She and Bai Lu were pursuing the same man, but she said that this man was unfaithful, which was indeed a bit like a sting operation.

"Between me and Bai Lu, who do you like?" Gao Yue asked more directly this time.

"I like them all." Zhang Wen said.

When it comes to love, he is always honest, just like when he does business, he is honest and never cheats anyone, and he is determined not to do anything fraudulent, both in business and in love.

"Who do you like more?" Gao Yue asked through gritted teeth. She just wanted a clear answer, why was it so difficult?
Even if I have to lie to her!
"Don't ask me to choose, I have difficulty making choices."

"Since it's an illness, it must be treated. You should overcome it."

"No! No! No!" Zhang Wen shook his head and said seriously, "As a psychologist, I can tell you very clearly that the best way to solve decision-making difficulties is not to overcome them, but to not make choices. If you ask me whether I like more strawberries or cherries, why should I spend time thinking about it instead of buying them all? It's not like I don't have the means to do so."

"You, you seem very confident!" Gao Yue said with a wry smile. This answer was really flawless, and he was a master of keeping things balanced.

Even though she had won the title of Best Debater at the Beijing University Student Debate Conference, she felt speechless and powerless at this moment. For the first time in her life, she felt like she had faced a difficult opponent.

Even after working for so many years and negotiating countless contracts, no one could create such trouble for her.

"You can try it, and you'll know after you try it." Zhang Wen directly reached out and hugged the other person in his arms. Compared with talking about love, he prefers to express it through actions. Isn't there a line in the song that goes like this?

Love is just one word, I will only say it once, you know I will only show it with actions...

That's him.

Gao Yue's delicate body trembled, and her temperament disappeared without a trace in an instant. She wanted to break free, but after seeing Bai Lu standing on the stage, she immediately gave up the idea.

If Bai Lu saw this, what would the girl think?

Since there is no way to make this man make a choice, there is only one way, to force Bai Lu to withdraw voluntarily.

How to force it?
It’s very simple. Make Bai Lu jealous. If he gets too jealous, he will leave.

If he doesn't leave, then I can only arrange a lot of work for Bai Lu, and it must be the kind of work that requires him to leave the capital for a long time. In this way, the feelings will fade and they will naturally separate.

Thinking of this, she leaned her head on the man's shoulder, acting very intimately, and at the same time looked at the stage with a hint of pride in her eyes, but more of provocation.

Bai Lu on the stage naturally saw everything, but to her, it did not threaten her at all, and it did not even arouse her jealousy at all, because they had slept in the same bed before, and they wore less than they do now, so the scene before her was simply child's play to her.

Besides, no matter how close they were, it wouldn't be as close as the distance between her and Zhang Wen. The distance between them was already negative.

Before we knew it, half an hour had passed since the promotional event.

Gao Yue checked the time, then stood up from the man's arms and said, "The event is about to end, and there are a lot of fans here. Do you mind acting as a bodyguard?"

"No problem, but please call me the flower protector." Zhang Wen said with a smile.

Gao Yue rolled her eyes in response and walked to the back of the stage.

Zhang Wen threw away the packaging bag in his hand and followed the woman closely. No matter when he looked at her, her legs were irresistible.

After a few minutes, the celebrity promotion session finally ended.

Although the brand arranged a lot of security guards, the fans at the scene were too enthusiastic. The crowd kept hitting the guardrails formed by the security guards like waves, hoping to attract the attention of their idols.

"Qiuqiu, give me an autograph!"

"Bai Lu, can we take a photo together?"

"..."

Some fans reached out their hands, bypassed the security guards, and grabbed the stars directly.

"Bai Lu!"

Chen Xueqi, who was walking behind, suddenly grabbed Bai Lu's arm and pulled him towards him.

Bai Lu frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. She just shook off the other person's hand calmly and continued walking forward.

Chen Xueqiu immediately followed after seeing this and asked quietly, "Bai Lu, you haven't had lunch yet? Do you have time later? I'll treat you to a meal. I know a good Western restaurant..."

"No time." Bai Lu replied directly with three words.

In fact, she knew exactly what Chen Xueqi was thinking. The two had worked together two years ago and were old acquaintances, but that collaboration was not pleasant. To be precise, it was she who was unhappy.

Because ever since they joined the crew, he would always deliberately approach her during their spare time, and then not long after, photos of the two of them together would appear on the Internet, and netizens began to discuss whether they were in a relationship.

At first she ignored it and just concentrated on filming, but later, the content of the photos became more and more excessive, and they even used a substitute camera to say that the two were hugging and kissing on the set.

Such close-up and professional shooting, it goes without saying that it was Chen Xueqi who deliberately arranged for someone to shoot it. However, when she found the other party to question him, the other party actually denied it and shamelessly said that he could use online public opinion to hype up a CP and bring traffic to himself and the TV series.

Later, it was Sister Yue who took action to calm the situation.

I thought that after filming the TV series, I could stay away from this scheming man, but the fact proved that a shameless person is invincible.

Since then, Chen Xueqiu has been looking for opportunities to create chance encounters with her. For example, when attending some evening parties, he would deliberately walk up to her side, then have someone take a photo and post it online, hiring a group of netizens to hype it up. Another example is deliberately asking for her flight information and then creating a chance encounter at the airport...

There are many similar things, but the more the other party does this, the more annoyed she becomes.

We are all in the entertainment industry, who doesn’t know who?
Even if she doesn't deliberately ask about the fact that the other person is a pretty girl in front of people but a rotten cucumber behind their backs, she can still hear about it from others. The problem is that the other person still feels good about himself.

"Bai Lu, if you don't have time at noon, what about at night?" Chen Xueqi didn't give up and quickly caught up with him. At the same time, he glanced at one of the fans and winked at him.

The man nodded immediately and picked up the camera to take pictures.

Chen Xueqi stretched out his hand and was about to pat Bai Lu's shoulder when suddenly a figure stood in front of him, separating him and Bai Lu.

He was not paying attention and did not stop his steps, so he bumped into it directly.

"Oh!"

Chen Xueqi felt as if he had hit a wall and his body took several steps back. Finally, he was supported by the assistant behind him and stopped his retreat.

"Bai Lu, be careful!" Chen Xueqi shouted, then quickly walked over, grabbed the man's arm and shouted, "Who are you? Security, quickly take this man away."

"Stop shouting, I'm Bai Lu's bodyguard." Zhang Wen said coldly, then shook off the other's hand.

He could tell at a glance what the other party was thinking. As a flower protector, if he didn't show up now, when would he wait?
Chen Xueqi staggered and took two steps back. At the same time, he felt severe pain in his arm, as if it was dislocated.

"What the hell..."

Chen Xueqi was about to curse when he realized this was a public place with a lot of media and fans around. So he swallowed the rest of his words and said with a forced smile, "Since she's Bai Lu's bodyguard, then escort her away properly. There were so many people just now that they almost squeezed Bai Lu. It was so dangerous."

Zhang Wen ignored the other party at all. He put one arm around Bai Lu's waist and reached out the other hand to clear the way.

Wherever he passed, it was like a tank rolling over, and anyone who blocked his way was pushed aside by him.

When Chen Xueqiu saw the man leave, he was filled with anger. How dare a mere bodyguard ignore him? Didn't he know he was a star?

He turned around to look at his own fans, and saw that they shook their heads slightly, which made him even angrier.

How to hype it up if you don’t take any photos?

I heard that Bai Lu has been preparing for a new play recently and rarely makes public appearances. Today, I finally got such an opportunity, how can I give it up easily?
Thinking of this, he winked at his men and then chased after Bai Lu in front.

No matter what, you must take a photo, even if you have to use a different camera.
