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

Chapter 281 Praising
As June approaches, the weather gradually becomes hotter and the sunlight becomes more dazzling. The whole city is shrouded in a warm atmosphere, just like the girls in Beijing, with a hot energy.

In the afternoon, Zhang Wen sat behind director Han Xiaohua, fanning himself with a fan while watching the actors perform.

After a week of running-in, the actors have developed a certain level of understanding with each other and are no longer as unfamiliar and distant in front of the camera as they were in the previous few days.

"stop!"

"The actors performed well in the scene just now. Everyone, go down and take a break and prepare for the next scene." Han Xiaohua said into the intercom, with a rare smile on his face.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. The actors went to the rest area to read the script, and the stagehands began to clean up the props on the set and prepare for the next scene.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Suddenly a voice was heard on the set. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes. It turned out to be Li Lehua, the boss of Tianxi Media.

It is very rare for a company boss to visit the filming set, whether in a company or in the entertainment industry.

Li Lehua continued, "It's hot today, so I brought some cold drinks. Come and take some, everyone will get some." He then pointed to the thermal box on the side.

When everyone heard this, they immediately perked up. The weather forecast said that the highest temperature today would be 32 degrees. For people filming outdoors, nothing can be more refreshing than a glass of cold drink.

"thank you boss!"

"Thank you, Mr. Li!"

Words of thanks were heard everywhere, and everyone came to the thermal box to get cold drinks, including juice, tea, coffee, and all kinds of other drinks. No matter what you want to drink, you can get it here.

Li Lehua saw everyone's happy expressions and a faint smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, she is a good boss who cares about her employees, and she seems to have a halo around her.

Li Lehua posed for a while, then walked over to Miss Zhou, handed her the cold drink in his hand, and said with a smile, "Miss Zhou, I didn't know what you like to drink, so I brought you an iced Americano."

When the people around saw this scene, they couldn't help but be stunned, and the originally lively set suddenly became quiet.

what's the situation?
The boss personally delivered cold drinks to Teacher Zhang’s sister?
Where does this little sister come from?

In fact, when Teacher Zhang brought his sister to the set on the first day, everyone knew that this sister was extraordinary. Who would go out with bodyguards and assistants?
But no one expected that even the boss would be so polite to this sister, and even tried to please her a little.

You have to know that Tianxi Media is one of the top five entertainment companies in China, and its boss is also a powerful figure in the entertainment industry. It seems that today's so-called "visit to the set" is probably also for this sister.

This little sister is very talented.

No, it should be Teacher Zhang who is hiding his talents.

After taking the cold drink, Zhou Shuyao nodded to express her gratitude, then handed the iced American coffee to the man next to her and uttered a simple syllable.

"Ok!"

Zhang Wen glanced at the boss whose expression changed slightly, then said to the girl, "You drink it, I'm not thirsty."

Zhou Shuyao did not take the coffee back, but insisted that the other party accept it, and kept saying "hmm".

Seeing the girl's persistence, Zhang Wen couldn't bear to refuse her kindness, so he could only say, "I'm not used to drinking coffee. I'll go see if there's any juice." After that, he walked towards the thermal box.

This time, Zhou Shuyao did not insist. She opened the lid and took a small sip.

"?"

Li Lehua looked at Miss Zhou. Although there was a smile on his face, his heart was full of doubts.

It’s strange, why does Miss Zhou only say “hmm” and not say anything?
I remember that the last time I went to see Mr. Zhou, Miss Zhou looked very lively and even acted coquettishly towards Mr. Zhou. How come she seemed like a different person after not seeing her for two or three years?

It’s understandable that you speak concisely to her, but why do you also say “hmm” when talking to Xiao Zhang?
Could it be that this Miss Zhou is a fake?
As soon as this idea came up, Li Lehua immediately rejected it in his heart. If he had to pretend to be someone else, he would pretend to be a descendant of Qin Shi Huang. Why would he pretend to be Miss Zhou?
Moreover, there was no need for Xiao Zhang to bring a fake Miss Zhou to deceive her.

Why is it?

Li Lehua was puzzled. Seeing Xiao Zhang approaching with a cup of fruit tea, he immediately walked over and pulled him aside. He then asked quietly, "Xiao Zhang, I have something to ask you."

Zhang Wen was about to insert the straw into the cup, but when he heard the boss's words, he immediately stopped. After all, one should be grateful to the person who brought him the food.

If you drink it, even just one sip, you have to say what you don't want to say.

"Xiao Zhang, why doesn't Miss Zhou speak?" Li Lehua asked the doubts in his heart.

"She has aphasia and can't speak for the time being," said Zhang Wen.

"Why did you get aphasia?" Li Lehua asked in surprise.

Zhang Wen scratched his head, debating whether to tell it or not. Once the boss's gossip got out, people who didn't know would think he was dissatisfied with the Zhou family.

The Zhou family is his big client, the VIP.

He hesitated for a moment, then said to his boss mysteriously, "Boss, this involves the secrets of wealthy families. Are you sure you want to hear it?"

Li Lehua was slightly stunned. Throughout history, the secrets of wealthy families have always existed in a secretive and extremely tempting manner, and are also a topic that people enjoy talking about after dinner.

But as the old saying goes: The more you know, the faster you die.

Once the secret spreads throughout the city, she will definitely be suspected by the Zhou family for knowing about it. At that time, the Zhou family will not need any evidence at all, and can destroy her company with just one sentence.

"Just pretend I didn't ask anything." Li Lehua said tactfully. She couldn't bear the Zhou family's anger.

Zhang Wen nodded, with an expression of 'you're sensible', and then returned to the girl.

Li Lehua originally wanted to use the opportunity of delivering cold drinks to chat with Miss Zhou and improve their relationship. Even if he couldn't get investment from the Zhou family, he could still scare people when he talked about it with others.

However, now that the plan has failed, there is no need to stay here any longer.

Li Lehua found director Han Xiaohua, chatted briefly with him, stayed on the set for about ten minutes, and then found a random excuse to leave with his secretary.

With her departure, the set returned to its intense and busy filming.

Time passed quickly and it was evening in the blink of an eye.

After seeing Miss Zhou off, Zhang Wen immediately got into his car and followed Bai Lu's van towards Jiaren Magazine. Originally, the cover shoot had been scheduled for the day, and Director Han Xiaohua had agreed to give them a few days off, but Bai Lu didn't want to affect the filming of the TV series, so he scheduled the cover shoot for the evening.

Filming during the day and shooting magazine covers at night, nothing is delayed.

Although this would greatly reduce the rest time, Bai Lu would be filled with energy when he thought that both of them were top resources, which would not only gain him a lot of traffic but also help improve his status.

She also discovered one thing: since she drank a few bottles of life essence recently, there has been a big change in her physical strength and energy.

When I was filming in the past, I was so tired that I wanted to lie on the bed all the time, and I didn’t even have the mood to go out shopping. But now, even if I shoot from morning to night, I am still full of energy.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the Jiaren magazine office.

Zhang Wen, Bai Lu and their assistant Zhao Linlin entered the building together. After stating their purpose, they were immediately invited into the editor-in-chief's office.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

"Come in!"

Zhang Wen followed the employee into the office. Sitting in the office was a middle-aged woman in her early forties. She had carefully groomed short hair with slightly curly ends that made her look playful yet elegant. Her facial contours were distinct, and her high nose bridge added a three-dimensional feel to her entire face. Her eyes, distinctly black and white, looked particularly bright.

The woman was dressed very simply, in a blue slim-fit suit with a simple white shirt underneath, and the collar was slightly open, giving her a fashionable and capable look. Even when she was simply standing there, she exuded a powerful aura.

"Editor-in-chief, Bai Lu is here." said the employee who led the way.

Fang Meihua withdrew her gaze from the window, and when she turned around and saw Bai Lu, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Bai Lu, long time no see."

After saying that, he walked over, opened his arms warmly and gave me an intimate hug. It looked like old friends meeting each other. If you didn't know, you would think they were very close.

Bai Lu shuddered all over, surprised by Editor-in-Chief Fang's reaction. You know, he is usually a high and mighty person, so why did he become so approachable today?

However, this doubt only lasted for a moment, and she soon understood why the other party acted like that.

It must be because of Sister Hong.

Although she is one of the new generation of young actresses, her works, awards and influence are not enough to appear on the cover of "Glamour" magazine.

A few days ago, she specially collected all the monthly issues of "Beauty" magazine in the first half of the month. Either they were the best actresses or the top actresses.

In contrast, she...

No, there is no comparison at all.

"Hello, Editor-in-Chief Fang." Bai Lu said politely after the other party let go, and did not become proud and complacent because of Sister Hong's presence.

The resources were provided by Sister Hong, but she needs to manage her interpersonal relationships on her own. If she does well in those relationships, even without Sister Hong's help, she will be able to obtain many fashion resources.

"You are Mr. Yang's sister-in-law, which means you are my sister. From now on, just call me Sister Fang." Fang Meihua said with a smile, then turned to look at Zhang Wen beside her, "You are Mr. Yang's brother, right? When we met a few days ago, she mentioned you, saying that you are not only handsome but also talented. After seeing you today, I can see that Mr. Yang didn't lie to me."

"It's just so-so. But you, Sister Fang, are much prettier than in the news photos. I was just amazed by your looks when I saw the photos before, but now that I see you in person, I realize that the charm that emanates from you from the inside out cannot be captured by the camera. No wonder you are so famous in the industry..." Zhang Wen talked incessantly.

Although he was not familiar with the person and had never seen him before, this did not stop him from promoting the business.

After hearing this, Fang Meihua's smile became even brighter. Even though she knew that the other party was deliberately flattering her, she felt comfortable and happy listening to it.

"Oh, it's not as good as you say. I can't compare with you young people at all." Fang Meihua waved her hands repeatedly. Although she denied it, her face was flushed.

"That's wrong!" Zhang Wen said seriously, "Women of every age have their own unique charm and value. They can't be simply summed up as 'incomparable'. Time has endowed you with unique wisdom in dealing with the world, and your eyes are full of calmness and wisdom that penetrate the world. This kind of charm has more depth and connotation. Moreover, your sexiness is not superficial, but the maturity and elegance that radiates from the inside out. It is bright and generous, just like a glass of aged red wine, which becomes more mellow with each sip..."

Fang Meihua's eyes became brighter as she listened. She felt like she had met a close friend, and her whole body warmed up.

aweason!
Calm and wise, profound and profound, mature and elegant, bright and grand, it is a very comprehensive summary.

The magazine employees standing by were stunned.

I've seen people flattering others, but I've never seen one as good as this. Not to mention Editor-in-Chief Fang herself, even she, an outsider, was so excited after hearing it that she almost couldn't control herself.

Is this referring to Editor-in-Chief Fang?
The goddess is no different.

I have learned something, I have learned something. I must write it down in a small notebook and study it carefully so that I can use it when I flatter others in the future.

Bai Lu stared at Editor-in-Chief Fang in front of her. After hearing her husband's praise just now, she felt a little jealous.

"Now that you say that, it seems I have to add a special report about your girlfriend in the September magazine." Fang Meihua said with a smile.

This time it was not directed at Mr. Yang, but at what the young man had just said.

"Thank you, Sister Fang." After Zhang Wen finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to remember something and took out a square box from his pocket and handed it over. "By the way, Sister Fang, this is a gift for you. It's not worth much, I hope you don't mind it."

"Ah? How can I feel embarrassed about this?" Fang Meihua evaded.

"This is a little gift from Bai Lu and me." Zhang Wen said as he opened the box directly.

There was a pearl necklace inside, with crystal pearls arranged neatly, and the one in the middle was particularly large. The round beads were emitting a soft halo, and the delicate luster flickered slightly under the light.

"Today is the first time I meet you, Sister Fang. I can't come empty-handed. You must accept it, Sister Fang." Zhang Wen said seriously.

"Okay, we can't do this next time." Fang Meihua happily put the box away and said, "It's getting late, let's start getting ready. I've invited a famous photographer today, and he's going to take stunning photos of you, Bai Lu. I'll give him a call to see where he is."

After that, he returned to his desk, picked up the phone on the desk, and dialed a number.

Bai Lu looked at Editor Fang who was on the phone and whispered to the man beside him, "When did you prepare the pearl necklace? How come I didn't know about it?"

"I bought it this afternoon." Zhang Wen said.

"It's very expensive, right?" Bai Lu's heart was filled with emotion. He didn't expect that the man would do so much for him and even picked out the gifts.

"There are plenty of jewelry stores. They're 200 yuan a pair, and you can get a discount if you buy more."
