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

Chapter 252 Helping in times of need
Zhang Wen looked at the handwritten apology letter posted by Chen Xueqi on Weibo, and a sneer appeared on his face.

The letter not only acknowledged the rumors of sleeping fans that went viral on the Internet, but also stated that all activities would be suspended for the next period of time.

Even if he didn't suspend his activities, no one would dare to use him. With such a scandal, it's too early for all parties to terminate their contracts, so why would they continue to work with such a disrespectful artist? Wouldn't that tarnish their own brand?
This means that those who do unrighteousness will be punished by themselves!

Zhang Wen looked up at the wall, where hung an artistic photo of Bai Lu. Bai Lu in the photo was bright and charming, so beautiful that he no longer had to worry about being scammed by Chen Xueqi.

Trying to take advantage of his woman, this is what happens.

"Buzz!"

The phone suddenly vibrated.

Zhang Wen took a look at the caller ID and saw that it was an unfamiliar mobile phone number. He hesitated for a moment, but finally answered the call, but did not speak immediately.

"..."

"Hello, is this Mr. Zhang Wen? I'm Wu Qing." A humble and flattering voice came from the microphone.

"Well, what's the matter?" Zhang Wen asked lightly.

"Mr. Zhang, have you read the news online?"

"What news?"

"It's the news about Chen Xueqiu sleeping with his fans. It has been on the hot search since last night and is very popular. Moreover, Chen Xueqiu just sent an apology letter and decided to temporarily withdraw from the entertainment industry." Wu Qing said quickly, with a bit of courtesy in his voice, as if he was asking for credit.

"Really? This is probably retribution." Zhang Wen said.

"Yes, it's retribution. It's retribution. He did so many immoral things, and he deserves what's happening now." Wu Qing echoed repeatedly. After a while, he asked in a low voice, "Mr. Zhang, Chen Xueqiu's matter has been resolved. Why don't you call the police?"

"Don't worry, I will do what I say." Zhang Wen said after hearing this.

To be honest, he was very satisfied with the other party's ability to do things.

In less than a day, Chen Xueqi announced his temporary withdrawal from the entertainment industry. Such ability and efficiency are rare in the entire entertainment industry.

"Thank you, thank you for your magnanimity." Wu Qing said gratefully. Although he betrayed Chen Xueqi and lost a financial backer, he finally kept his job as a reporter. It was a blessing in disguise.

"You're welcome. Just remember to do less immoral things in the future, otherwise your depression and mania will become more serious." Zhang Wen said and hung up the phone.

He had no intention of taking back the four intermediate negative personality derivatives that he had placed on the other party for the time being. One reason was to teach the other party a lesson, and the other was to use the other party for his own benefit.

Although from Bai Lu's perspective, Wu Qing is not a good person, but from the perspective of the profession of entertainment reporter, he is definitely a talented person.

He now works in a media company, and usually writes songs and scripts. He has a celebrity girlfriend and is also considered a member of the entertainment industry.

It would be very helpful for him if he could get to know a few more entertainment reporters. In the future, if he needs to investigate or promote something, he can solve it with just one phone call, and he won't be in the dark and unable to do anything.

The intermediate negative personality derivative has only been possessing Wu Qing for one day, and the impact on him will not be very big. I believe that after a while, when the other party is tortured and can't sleep all night, he will definitely come to find him again.

Not looking?

That means this person is a fool and not worthy of working for him.

Anyone with a bit of intelligence would list him as a key suspect, even if he denies it.

Zhang Wen put his phone aside and continued writing the novel "Perfect Days". He had already finished half of the story, and he planned to use the holidays to finish the remaining half.

"Buzz!"

He had just written two paragraphs when the phone on the table vibrated again. He glanced at the caller ID and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

Someone sent money.

"Sister Hong, good afternoon." Zhang Wen said with a smile after answering the phone.

The person who called was none other than Yang Yuhong, a wealthy sister who had just received hypnosis treatment a few days ago.

"Brother Wen, you haven't contacted me for such a long time. Have you forgotten me?" Yang Yuhong's resentful voice came from the microphone.

"Sister Hong, you are closer to me than my own sister. How could I forget you? Besides, didn't we meet last week?" Zhang Wen said after hearing this.

If the other person is corny, he will be even cornier than the other person.

"Haven't you heard the saying 'a day without seeing you feels like three years'? Even though I haven't seen you for a few days, it feels like years. I miss you so much, my sister."

"Thank you, Sister Hong, for caring about me so much. Actually, I miss you very much too. It's just that I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to contact you."

After saying this, Zhang Wen sighed heavily to express his helplessness.

Of course, he was just acting, just like Yang Yuhong on the other side of the phone was also acting.

Life is like a play, it depends on acting.

Since the other party is acting, he naturally has to cooperate with the other party. After all, this is his big client, and he needs the other party to contribute to his small goal.

"Brother Wen, are you free this afternoon? I made some cakes myself. Would you like to come to my house and try them?" Yang Yuhong asked.

Zhang Wen was slightly startled. He had been to Yang Yuhong's house before. There was a nanny and a chef there. All he had to do was ask for what he wanted. Cooking it himself? This treatment was unparalleled.

"Sister Hong, I'm sorry, I have some work to do and can't leave for the time being. I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy it." There was a hint of regret in Zhang Wen's tone.

In terms of acting skills, he is not inferior to professional actors at all, and he must perform well in every situation.

"Really? Oh, what a pity. What about tonight? Do you have time tonight?" Yang Yuhong asked again.

Zhang Wen couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

What does the other person mean by this?
Is it because you are greedy for his body?
I heard from Director Han’s wife that Yang Yuhong divorced ten years ago and is currently single. Could it be that she wants to have a second chance at life?

If it were three months ago, he would have gone there without hesitation and started a unique sister-brother love affair.

Although fifty does sound a bit old, when Lin Chi-ling and Li Bingbing stand in front of you, who would think such a woman is old?

Unfortunately, he no longer has the idea of hanging out with a rich woman.

"Sister Hong, is there something wrong? We are not strangers, just tell me if you have something to say." Zhang Wen asked directly.

"Nothing, I just want to chat with you, Wendi."

"Okay, then I'll chat with Sister Hong."

Uh……

Yang Yuhong opened her mouth, but didn't know where to begin. Although they referred to each other as brother and sister, they had only known each other for a short time and didn't know each other very well. She couldn't just start talking about "what to eat in the morning" or "what to eat at noon"? It would easily lead to a dead end. After thinking it over, she decided to tell the truth.

"Nothing can be hidden from Wen Di'er. Sister, I do have something I want to ask you for help. It's about the essence of life. Do you still have it in your hand?" Yang Yuhong asked.

"Sister Hong, the medicinal materials are being collected. If nothing unexpected happens, the next batch of life essence will not be available until the end of this month at the earliest." Zhang Wen said.

He knew that the other party must have called for the essence of life.

When a woman reaches his age, she cares most about her appearance and health in her life.

Who wouldn’t want to stay young forever? Who wouldn’t want to feel younger?
"I know. You told me last time. Oh, forget it. I'll think of other ways." Yang Yuhong sighed deeply, completely losing her previous enthusiasm.

Zhang Wen frowned after hearing this.

Other ways?

Could it be that the other party has other channels to purchase the essence of life?

And judging from the other party's tone, it seemed that there was an urgent need.

But he remembered that he had told the other party that the efficacy of the Life Essence would last for two or three months, so why was there such a rush?
"Sister Hong, have you encountered any difficulties?" Zhang Wen asked tentatively. Is it possible that there are other spokespersons for Wenquxingjun in this world besides him?
"It's not a difficult thing actually. I just want to buy a bottle of life essence to give to someone." Yang Yuhong said.

"Give it to someone?" Zhang Wen was a little surprised.

Anyone who has drunk the essence of life doesn’t have enough for themselves, yet they want to give it to others?

Don't want to be younger? Don't want to stay young forever?

"Well, I've been discussing a partnership lately. I heard their chairman likes antiques, and her birthday is coming up in a few days. Some rival companies are planning to give her jade, and some are planning to give her calligraphy and paintings. I feel like if everyone else is giving antiques, it's unoriginal for me to give her antiques too, and I'm likely to be outdone. So, I'd like to buy a bottle of Life Essence from you..."

Yang Yuhong briefly explained the situation.

If it was just an ordinary customer, she wouldn't need to do this at all, but this time it was a big customer with an order worth tens of billions. If she missed it, although it would not have any impact on the company, she would always feel a little regretful. Moreover, if a long-term cooperation could be achieved, the company's scale would be further expanded.

Who would mind having too much money?

"Forget it, I'll just give him calligraphy and paintings." Yang Yuhong said after thinking for a while.

When Zhang Ran heard this, he immediately understood.

Giving life essence as a gift is indeed novel and can also bring surprises. It is much better than those antique calligraphy and paintings. The rich sister’s idea is not wrong.

He couldn't miss this deal.

"Sister Hong, I do not have the essence of life on hand, but I can ask other customers for you. Maybe some of them haven't drunk it yet." Zhang Wen said.

"Really? Is it really possible?" Yang Yuhong asked excitedly. If she could get a bottle of life essence, she believed that she would be able to win this big customer.

"Well, I still have this face, but the price may be higher. After all, I am giving it up with great reluctance..." Zhang Wen deliberately stopped talking halfway and let the other party give it on his own. Such words should not come out of his mouth.

"Five million, no, ten million. As long as someone is willing to give me the essence of life, I am willing to pay ten million to buy it!" Yang Yuhong said loudly.

It's not that she is generous, but even if she gives calligraphy and paintings as gifts, it will cost at least 18 million, or even more.

In her opinion, it is better to spend 10 million to buy a bottle of life essence than to spend 10 million to buy an antique painting.

As the old saying goes, scarcity makes things valuable.

When it comes to antique calligraphy and paintings, there is no best, only better. No matter how much money you spend, there is a chance that one will be inferior to the other. In comparison, the Essence of Life is unique and can only be bought from my younger brother as a birthday gift. There will never be a duplicate.

"Sister Hong, is ten million too much?" Zhang Wen was shocked by the other party's offer. He knew that the other party was rich and even the hardware in her home were made of gold, but there was no need to offer so much, right?
You should know that he priced the Life Essence at only one million.

"It doesn't matter. I think it's worth it. Brother Wen, I'll leave this matter to you." Yang Yuhong is not only a wealthy woman, but also a shrewd businessman. Compared with orders worth tens of billions, what is ten million?
The Essence of Life is such a precious thing. If she doesn't pay a high price, who would be willing to give it up?

You have to know that people who buy life essence are definitely not short of money.

Which one is light and which one is serious, she can tell clearly.

"I'll try my best, but Sister Hong, don't have too high hopes." Zhang Wen deliberately whetted the other party's appetite so that his contribution would appear greater.

"Well, I'll wait for your news." Yang Yuhong said.

Zhang Wen hung up the phone and rubbed his hands happily.

It was so easy to earn these ten million.

Sure enough, if you want to be rich, you have to make money from rich people.

For ordinary people, ten million is an astronomical figure, and they can never earn that much money in their lifetime, but for rich people, it is just a drop in the bucket.

A piece of jewelry on her body or a piece of calligraphy and painting in her home probably costs more than 10 million.

After all, he underestimated the spending power of the rich. The price of one million per bottle of Life Essence was too low.

Zhang Wen glanced at the time. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Thinking that Bai Lu and Gao Yue were about to get off work, he quickly got up and went to the kitchen. He took out a fairy peach from the Wenqu Tower and threw it into the juicer.

If there is not enough juice, add water.

Under normal circumstances, one fairy peach can be diluted into three bottles of life essence, but this time, in order to make the effect of the life essence more obvious and not delay Sister Hong's business, he only diluted two bottles of life essence.

One bottle was sold to Yang Yuhong and one was left to Bai Lu.

After making the essence of life, Zhang Wen did not call Yang Yuhong immediately, but wrote a novel for a while, and did not call until five o'clock in the evening.

Probably because I was waiting, the phone rang once and then was connected.

"Brother Wen, how about it? Is anyone willing to give up the life essence?" Yang Yuhong's anxious voice came from the microphone. Zhang Wen could even imagine the other party's nervous expression.

"Sister Hong, I asked around, guess what?"

"My dear brother, please stop keeping me in suspense. I'm getting so anxious." Yang Yuhong said, feeling like her heart was about to jump into her throat, completely losing her usual elegance and composure.

In fact, when she heard that Wen Di was still keeping the secret, she already had a vague guess in her heart, but since he didn't say it out loud, she really didn't dare to believe herself and was afraid that her hopes would be dashed.

"Sister Hong, you are so lucky. There is actually a client who didn't drink the Life Essence after receiving it and has kept it until now. She has also agreed to give that bottle of Life Essence to me. It seems that God is helping you. This cooperation is bound to be a success." Zhang Wen said with a smile.

"Really? That's great, brother, you are my lucky star. No matter whether this cooperation succeeds or not, I will not treat you unfairly!" Yang Yuhong said excitedly, feeling that billions of dollars were waving at her.

Cooperation is stable!
