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

Chapter 296: Don’t forget your original intention and keep your mission in mind

On the way home, Zhang Wen checked the information of Hengya Group on his mobile phone.

This is a technology company with two core industries: semiconductors and new energy. Last year, it achieved revenue of more than 500 billion yuan and was ranked 465th among the top companies in China.

There are a lot of news about Hengya Group on the Internet, such as its plan to invest 10 billion to establish a global semiconductor industry chain and supply chain system, release new products at the International Consumer Electronics Show, enter foreign markets, etc. It is a very well-known company.

In contrast, there is very little information about the founder Cui Heng on the Internet. Even the photos are from a few years ago, making him seem very low-key.

It just goes to show that: be high-profile in your work and low-profile in your life.

While waiting for the red light, Zhang Wen took a deep look at the middle-aged man in the photo and remembered his appearance firmly in his mind.

Well, it is indeed low-key. Even if they want something, they have to send people to "steal" it instead of robbing it openly.

If he hadn't caught the man and threatened him, he would probably still be in the dark, not knowing the real purpose of these people, and even wondering why they let him leave after blocking him.

There is a saying in the art of war: Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle.

He thought about it and finally dialed Yang Yuhong's cell phone number.

Although they are not in the same industry, they are both companies in Beijing. Even if Sister Hong is not familiar with Cui Heng, she should have some understanding of him.

“Beep…beep…ka!”

Soon, the call was connected.

"Brother, you called me right after you left. Do you miss me?" Sister Hong's laughter came from the microphone. She sounded in a very good mood, probably because she had just received the essence of life.

"Sister Hong, it's so late. I hope I didn't disturb your rest?" Zhang Wen asked.

Since the Zhou family manor is quite far from the city, it takes two hours to go back and forth, and it is already past 10 o'clock in the evening.

"No, it's still early." Yang Yuhong closed the document in front of her, stood up and stood by the window. While looking at the scenery outside, she asked, "Have you encountered any difficulties? Brother, didn't I tell you that if you have any problems, just tell me. Don't hesitate."

"Sister Hong, it's actually not a big deal. I just want to ask you about someone. Do you know Cui Heng, the founder of Hengya Group?" Zhang Wen didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"Cui Heng? Of course I know him. Although we are not from the same circle, we are all businessmen. It is inevitable that we will meet each other when we participate in activities. What's the matter? Do you have something to talk to him about?" Yang Yuhong asked curiously

"It's okay. Can you tell me about his condition in detail?"

"Cui Heng is a self-made man. He used to be a semiconductor professor at a university. He resigned and went abroad to join a German semiconductor company. Ten years later, he returned to China and founded the current Hengya Group. Its products cover electronics, communications, computing and other fields. He is an expert entrepreneur."

"He has a wife whom he met while working abroad. They have been married for twenty years and have a son who is currently attending university..."

"Also, his wife is in very poor health, constantly taking injections and medication. I saw her a few years ago, and she was practically skin and bones. Cui Heng built a special sanatorium at home for his wife and hired professional medical staff to manage her health and provide her daily care..."

Yang Yuhong was still talking, but after hearing this, Zhang Wen already roughly understood why Cui Heng sent people to steal the essence of life.

Obviously, it's for his wife.

He probably heard that after taking the Life Essence, Mrs. Zhou's health condition improved greatly and she was even able to travel long distances by plane, so he wanted to steal a bottle for his wife to try.

But there was one thing that Zhang Wen didn’t understand. Since he knew that the essence of life came from him, why didn’t he buy it directly from him?
Are you reluctant to spend money?
That shouldn't be the case. If the other party is willing to hire professional medical staff to take care of his wife, why wouldn't he be willing to spend money to buy the essence of life?
You should know that the annual cost of a professional medical team is not low.

What's more, Hengya Group's revenue last year exceeded 15 billion, and its net profit should not be small. It doesn't seem like the kind of people who can't afford the Life Essence.

"This is the general situation of Cui Heng's family." Yang Yuhong talked incessantly for five or six minutes before she finished describing Cui Heng's situation.

"Thank you, Sister Hong. It's getting late, you should get some rest. By the way, drink the Life Essence before going to bed for better results." Zhang Wen reminded.

Of course, he made this up.

The so-called better effect is because at least seven or eight hours will pass during a sleep. Compared with looking in the mirror from time to time after drinking, the visual effect will definitely be more obvious.

Even if you don't sleep, you can still see the obvious effect by waiting seven or eight hours before looking in the mirror.

"..."

Yang Yuhong thought to herself: Brother, why didn’t you tell me earlier? I had already finished drinking.

Zhang Wen said goodbye to Sister Hong and hung up the phone, but he was still thinking about Cui Heng.

Originally, he was very unhappy about being followed, and was also very unhappy with Cui Heng. However, after listening to what Sister Hong said just now, his impression of this person changed a little.

Not to mention stealing, even if it was robbery, it would be understandable.

He made the fairy peaches into the essence of life not only to make money, but also to help others. Now someone is in urgent need of the essence of life to cure an illness. Now that he already knows about it, how can he just watch and do nothing?
Whether it is helping others or curing illnesses and saving lives, it is all about accumulating virtue and doing good deeds.
Huh?
Since it is about accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, it is not too much to ask the target to offer 99 incense sticks every day, right?
I heard that many wealthy people and celebrities like to burn incense and worship Buddha, so why can't they burn incense and worship Wenquxingjun?
At least as the spokesperson for Wenquxing, he can bring health to everyone.

If the whole family can offer incense, it will not be 99 points.

and many more!

If all employees in the company offered incense before starting work every day, just like the trainees in the training department, wouldn't our ancestors be able to ascend to heaven soon?

If the ancestor is happy, he might take him with him to show off and fly together, and he might become an immortal by accident. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?
Although he can now obtain some treasures with the blessing of the Star God, it is definitely far from that of a real immortal.

Who can resist the temptation of becoming an immortal?

Although his life is good now, life expectancy is limited. People are only human after all, and those who can live to be a hundred years old are rare.

Even if he ate fairy peaches every day and lived to be 120 years old, he could only enjoy the blessings he has now for 100 years.

One hundred years is too short!

There is a song that goes like this: I really want to live another five hundred years.

He also wants to live another five hundred years, or even five thousand or fifty thousand years.

Since ancient times, which emperor didn’t want to become an immortal?
Even the emperor is like this, let alone a mortal like him?

Speaking of which, I have been busy making money recently and have been slacking off in collecting incense. Even the chance of getting a treasure blessed by the Star God is decreasing. I have to draw more than ten times to get a treasure. Maybe this is the ancestors expressing their dissatisfaction.

From now on, we must do our best to collect more incense for the ancestors, not forget our original intention, keep our mission in mind, and not let the ancestors down.

After more than ten minutes, the car slowly drove into the villa area.

The lights in the house were still on, and it was obvious that Gao Yue and Bai Lu were not asleep.

Zhang Wen parked the car in front of the villa, entered his fingerprint and opened the door. He heard footsteps and then saw Bai Lu fluttering towards him like a butterfly.

"stop!"

Zhang Wen quickly reached out and stopped the woman who was asking for a hug.

"What's wrong?" Bai Lu stopped, blinked his big eyes, and his face was full of confusion.

Even Gao Yue, who was following behind, was puzzled. She didn't understand why the man would reject Bai Lu. Could it be that they had been together for too long and he was tired of her?
It shouldn’t be like that. It’s only been two or three months.

Zhang Wen said nothing, walked around the first floor, and finally entered the guest bedroom.

Bai Lu and Gao Yue looked at each other and followed curiously.

The man took out a portrait from his shopping bag and placed it on the windowsill. He then took out an incense burner and sandalwood. This familiar scene immediately awoke their memories. They thought of the portraits of gods hanging in the art exam training center and the ones hanging in the training department's practice rooms.

Are we going to put portraits of gods in our homes now?
After arranging everything, Zhang Wen nodded with satisfaction, then took out ninety-nine incense sticks and lit them.

Although the ancestors could not accept his incense, he still wanted to express his gratitude.

As the old saying goes: There is a god above your head.

What we do is watched by our ancestors.

"Do you want to come?" After burning incense, Zhang Wen turned around and looked at Gao Yue and Bai Lu behind him.

Although he was asking, he had already handed the sandalwood over.

Ninety-nine sticks per person, no more, no less.

To increase the incense, start with your girlfriend.

……

The next morning.

Zhang Wen drove to the film and television base in the north of the city. All the scenes in the 798 Art District have been filmed, and starting today, the filming will continue here for a month.

The crew members are busy setting up the scene, the lighting technicians are constantly adjusting the lighting equipment to ensure the best light and shadow effects can be created under natural light, and the photographers are studying the shooting routes and surveying various shooting angles in advance.

When Zhang Wen appeared on the set holding a half-human-high incense burner, everyone looked at him curiously, especially the prop master, whose eyes were full of confusion and he kept flipping through the small notebook in his hand.

I didn’t hear Director Han say that such props were needed.

And there doesn’t seem to be any scene using the incense tripod in the script.

Zhang Wen ignored the gazes of others, placed the incense burner at the foot of the wall, took out a portrait from the burner and hung it on the wall, then put the box of sandalwood aside, took out more than ninety sticks and lit them, stood in front of the statue, and spoke with confidence.

"May the crew have a smooth filming today..."

After hearing this, everyone finally understood what was going on. It turned out that Teacher Zhang was praying for the crew.

But, wasn’t this done at the opening ceremony?

Although everyone was puzzled, they didn't say much when they saw Teacher Zhang's pious look. They just felt that Teacher Zhang was really worried about the smooth progress of filming.

Zhou Shuyao, who had just arrived at the set, happened to see this scene. Seeing that the person being worshipped was Wenquxingjun, not some random deity, she followed suit, took a few sticks of sandalwood, and bowed to the Wenquxingjun in the painting, silently reciting in her heart:
"Please pray that I can speak soon..."

After making the wish, she secretly glanced at the man next to her and made another wish.

"Please pray that Teacher Zhang and I can be together forever..."

Ding, incense +9.

Bai Lu walked out of the locker room and saw the familiar statue hanging on the wall. She had planned to burn incense at home in the evening, but since it was here, she decided to worship here.

Thinking of this, she took out a bundle of incense, lit it, bowed three times and said, "May the shooting go smoothly today!" Then she inserted the sandalwood into the incense burner.

Ding, incense +99.

"Linlin, come and burn incense too," Bai Lu said to his assistant Zhao Linlin behind him.

Zhao Linlin nodded, walked to the box of sandalwood, and took out three sticks of incense...

"Linlin, it's too little. Can't you take more? The more you provide, the better the effect." Bai Lu said.

Zhao Linlin looked at the incense in the incense burner, then took a whole bundle and lit it. She felt like she was not here to burn incense, but to pass the torch.

“May today’s shoot go smoothly!”

After Zhao Linlin finished speaking, she added another wish in her heart: she hoped that her salary would increase this year.

Ding, incense +99.

Zhou Shuyao, who had already finished burning incense, saw that others were burning in bundles, so she took a bundle and lit it before praying again.

Ding, incense +90.

After burning incense, Zhou Shuyao did not leave. Instead, she turned her head towards the two bodyguards behind her. Although she did not say anything, her meaning was very clear.

'You two should bow as well.'

The two bodyguards looked at each other. They knew that they couldn't go against their employer's wishes, especially since it was for their own good. So they didn't hesitate and just took the incense to worship the gods.

When the crew members around saw the scene of people lining up to burn incense, they thought that since the screenwriter and the leading actress had done so, it would seem that they did not care about the filming if they did not, so after finishing their work, they all went to burn incense.

Ding, incense +9.

Incense +99.

Incense +12...

More and more people came to burn incense, and soon the incense burner was filled with burning sandalwood.

Zhang Wen looked at the flourishing incense and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

The reason why he brought the incense burner to the crew was that he hoped everyone would offer incense to their ancestors. It didn't matter how much incense was offered, as long as there was incense.

It is better to have it than not to have it.

What's more, there are more than 99 people in the entire crew. Even if it's not plus per person, a lot will be collected in a day.

Isn't there such a sentence?
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat; no matter how small a shrimp is, it is still seafood.

After the crew members finished, the extras came over. The crew members wanted the filming to go smoothly, while the extras wanted to have scenes to shoot every day.

For a time, the incense was burning continuously.

Zhang Wen felt that if the ancestor could see this scene, he would definitely grin and reward some good treasures the next time the star god blesses him.

Han Xiaohua encountered a traffic jam on the way here, so he arrived a little late. After seeing everyone queuing up to burn incense, he was completely frozen in place.

Why is there a statue of a god here?

When I first came here to select the scene, I didn’t see any statues of gods here.

There is a statue of a deity next to the set, and it would be impolite not to worship it. And when you arrive at a new set, you should indeed pray.

"May the upcoming filming here go smoothly..."
