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

Chapter 297 No Sincerity

At noon, the sun was hanging brightly in the sky, and the whole world seemed to have turned into a huge oven, burning every inch of land.

After lunch, Zhang Wen left the set and drove to Hengya Group.

Hengya Building is located outside the South Fifth Ring Road. The building is square and regular, without any fancy designs. The gray-white exterior walls are matched with large glass panels, which looks clean and neat.

As Zhang Wen walked through the door, a cool breeze hit him in the face, forming a sharp contrast with the scorching heat outside. The hall was spacious and bright, with a smooth marble floor that was bright enough to reflect a person's shadow. The ceiling was decorated with sparkling crystal chandeliers, making the entire hall look very gorgeous.

The front desk staff were dressed in neat uniforms with professional smiles on their faces, and the company logo behind them stood out in the sunlight.

"Hello, is Cui Heng here?" Zhang Wen said as he came to the front desk.

"?"

After hearing this, the staff member was slightly stunned and the expression on his face became a little strange.

There are many people who come to see the chairman, but this is the first one who calls the chairman by his name.

After a brief moment of confusion, the staff member quickly recovered and asked with a smile, "Sir, do you have an appointment?"

"No, it's your chairman who wants to see me. My name is Zhang Wen. You can give him a call. By the way, tell him to hurry up. I have to go back to the set soon." Zhang Wen said anxiously.

"???"

The staff member's mouth twitched unconsciously, and his eyes looked as if he was looking at a mental patient.

It would have been fine if he just called the chairman by his name, but he actually asked him to hurry up, as if the chairman had something to ask of him.

She lowered her head and looked through the notebook on the table, but did not find any relevant records.

Under normal circumstances, if the chairman invites someone to meet at the company, the chairman's assistant will notify their front desk in advance, and they will also record the matter in a notebook.

She didn't find any relevant information in the notebook, which meant that the chairman didn't invite anyone to the company today.

"Alas, salespeople these days will do anything to secure cooperation, even going so far as to dream of meeting the chairman."

The staff member sighed secretly, then raised his head and said, "Sorry, sir, our chairman does not have this arrangement, and our chairman is not in the company now."

The implication is: I have seen through your conspiracy, leave quickly.

"Are you sure you don't want to make this call?" Zhang Wen looked at the staff member seriously and said, "Or you should make one. I'm a soft-hearted person and don't want to see you fired because of this."

"..."

The staff was speechless.

How can this person be so shameless?
And everything she had just done was in accordance with the regulations, so how could she be fired? It's not like she hasn't encountered people like this before, and they all follow the same procedure.

Zhang Wen saw that the staff didn't say anything, just smiled, and shook his head helplessly.

Boss Cui, Boss Cui, it’s not that I don’t want to save your wife.

"Sorry to bother you." Zhang Wen said to the front desk staff, then turned and walked outside.

As the saying goes: rushing is not business.

Perhaps, this is Cui Heng's fate.

Zhang Wen pushed the door open and walked out, and saw a man in a security uniform walking towards him. When their eyes met, the security guard was stunned.

"Zhang, Mr. Zhang, why are you here?"

The security guard's voice trembled. It was Xia Zhengbiao who was thrown into the vegetable field last night.

"Go find your chairman." Zhang Wen said.

"Ah? Did you see it?" Xia Zhengbiao asked.

"No." Zhang Wen shook his head.

"Why?" Xia Zhengbiao asked in surprise.

It took a lot of effort to confront this person last night, and in the end he was severely scolded for not stealing the essence of life. Today the target came to me on his own initiative, why would the chairman not see him?

"The front desk didn't notify me, probably because they were worried that I would disturb your chairman's lunch break." Zhang Wen said after thinking for a while.

Xia Zhengbiao's face changed. How could he not understand the meaning of these words?
It's over. The target was actually turned away. If the other party just leaves like this, it will be harder than climbing to the sky to obtain the essence of life in the future.

why?
I offended someone.

Thinking about the deducted salary, the credit for today's achievement must be his.

"Mr. Zhang, please don't leave. The receptionist doesn't recognize you, but I do. I'll call the chairman's assistant right now."

As Xia Zhengbiao spoke, he took out his cell phone and was about to dial a number when he suddenly realized that the target was still outside, so he quickly pushed open the door and stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture.

"Mr. Zhang, it's hot outside, but it's cool inside."

Zhang Wen glanced at the security guard, and considering that the other party was so capable, he turned around and walked in.

Xia Zhengbiao took the person to the waiting area on one side of the hall, and then called the chairman's assistant.

As a low-level employee, he did not have the chairman's phone number, but due to the special nature of his job, he often "asked" people to leave, so he had the mobile phone number of the chairman's assistant.

There were a few rings in the receiver and the call was quickly connected on the other end.

"what's up?"

"Assistant Yang, sorry to bother you. The target you asked us to follow is now on the first floor of the company. He said he is here to see the chairman. Does the chairman have time? Do you want to meet him?" Xia Zhengbiao asked in a low voice.

"What? He came to the company? Are you sure it's that guy?" A surprised voice came from the microphone.

"Yes, Assistant Yang, his last name is Zhang Wen, that's him, that's right." Xia Zhengbiao said.

"Why is he here at the company? Did you do something dirty last night and reveal your identity?"

"Uh... Assistant Yang, I don't know about that either."

Xia Zhengbiao's voice became smaller and smaller. He didn't dare tell anyone about his experience last night. To put it nicely, he had no choice, but to put it bluntly, he was betraying the company.

"I'll go down now." Assistant Yang Muyan said, then hung up the phone.

Xia Zhengbiao put away his phone, walked over to the target, and said cheerfully, "Mr. Zhang, please wait a moment. Assistant Yang will be here soon. He is the assistant to our chairman."

"Does he also know what happened last night?" Zhang Wen asked the security guard.

Although the other party hid aside to make a phone call, he still heard the conversation.

"I know. Assistant Yang asked us to do what we did last night." Xia Zhengbiao answered honestly.

Zhang Wen nodded and said nothing more.

Xia Zhengbiao stood there obediently, and suddenly seemed to remember something. He quickly took out a bottle of mineral water and placed it in front of the target.

"Mr. Zhang, it's so hot and you're still bothering me to come here in person. Have a drink of water."

The staff standing at the front desk were stunned when they saw this scene.

Why is Brother Xia so polite to this person? Could he really be someone the chairman invited to the company?

Just when she was confused, she saw an even more shocking scene. The chairman's assistant Yang Muyan walked over quickly and it was obvious that he also knew the man.

Finished!

Could that person really be invited by the chairman?

In an instant, cold sweat broke out on her forehead. When Yang Muyan saw the young man sitting in the waiting area, she knew at a glance that Xia Zhengbiao was right. This was indeed the person the chairman was looking for.

"Hello Mr. Zhang, I'm Yang Muyan, the chairman's assistant. The chairman is not in the company right now. If you have anything to say, you can come to me and I will help you convey it."

Zhang Wen looked up. Assistant Yang looked to be about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, with neat short hair and strong facial lines, but there was a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

The man was wearing a well-tailored dark grey suit, with straight lines outlining his neat figure and revealing the competence of a professional.

"Assistant Yang, I think you seem to have misunderstood something." Zhang Wen said slowly, "It wasn't me looking for your chairman, it was your chairman looking for me."

Yang Muyan's face changed slightly, and he was secretly shocked. How did the other party know that the chairman was looking for him?
Actually, I’m not looking for this person, I just want to buy the essence of life.

"Mr. Zhang, it's like this. Our chairman wants to buy the life essence you made. I heard it costs one million per bottle. Our chairman wants to buy five bottles first to try out its effects." Yang Muyan said lightly.

In his opinion, since the other party came directly to his door, he must be here to sell the essence of life, so things became much simpler.

After hearing what Assistant Yang said, Zhang Wen couldn't help but laugh.

One million a bottle?
That’s right, the price he set for the Life Essence was indeed one million per bottle.

However, as the effects of the Life Essence spread, the price has now been driven up to 10 million per bottle, and it is still priceless.

The other party deliberately said one million per bottle, obviously not wanting to pay a high price.

At this moment, Zhang Wen finally understood why Cui Heng would rather send people to steal than contact him directly to buy.

Ultimately, I don't want to spend more money.

If the other party came to him directly and took out a check for 100 million yuan like Old Lady Zhou and Zhou Siyi did, would he still not sell it?

Certainly not!

To put it bluntly, the other party has the money but doesn't want to use it.

"Is this what your chairman means?" Zhang Wen looked at Assistant Yang and asked.

"Yes." Yang Muyan said after hearing it, but a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, which disappeared in a flash.

Zhang Wen frowned slightly. Assistant Yang seemed to be hiding something, but he didn't care.

An assistant can be regarded as half of the leader's family. The other party is the chairman's assistant, and what he says must represent the chairman's intentions.

"Tell your chairman that we're out of stock." Zhang Wen said, then stood up and walked straight towards the door.

He can sell it for one million per bottle, but the other party cannot buy it for one million per bottle. If everyone is like Cui Heng and wants to buy the essence of life at the original price, wouldn't he, the producer, earn less than the middleman?
He makes one million yuan by selling a bottle, while the middleman can make nine million yuan by reselling it.

Of course, he didn't have to sell it to the other party for 10 million per bottle, but the other party had to at least show some sincerity in buying it.

Just like the three rich sisters, every time they send the essence of life, they will transfer 5 million. And Mrs. Zhou directly takes out a check for 100 million. You decide how many bottles you can buy.

These are sincerity.

When faced with such people, he would even take the initiative to lower the price.

Just like Wu Defa, after knowing that the price of Life Essence was hyped up to 10 million per bottle, he took the initiative to ask for a price increase and insisted on spending 5 million to buy it, but he finally lowered the price to 3 million.

When Yang Muyan saw the target leave, he just stood there in a daze.

Out of stock?

Isn’t the other party here specifically to sell the essence of life?

Could it be that the other party came here specifically just to tell the chairman that there is no life essence?
Isn't this just a joke?

"Mr. Zhang, what do you mean?" Yang Muyan asked loudly, with a questioning tone.

The entire hall fell silent at this moment, and everyone's eyes were on Assistant Yang and the young man who was about to leave.

"I just want to tell your chairman to be quiet in the future. For such a big company, don't always do shady things. If I find out that someone from your company is following me, don't blame me for being rude." Zhang Wen said coldly.

I would have my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon illuminates the ditch.

Forget it, change the goal, it’s still the same to cure diseases, save lives and help others.

Thinking of the business cards in the car, I will close my eyes and draw one to see who will be the lucky one.

When Yang Muyan heard this, his face suddenly turned very ugly, especially when he noticed the curious looks from the surrounding employees, he even wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it.

"You, what nonsense are you talking about? Who did something shameful?" Yang Muyan was angry and wanted to save face.

Zhang Wen paused, turned to look at Yang Muyan, who looked ashamed and angry, and said with a half-smile, "Assistant Yang, are you sure you want me to explain things more clearly? Do you want me to edit a video and send it to you?"

"you……"

Yang Muyan's mouth was blocked instantly and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

He didn't know whether there was any surveillance at the departure point. He was so busy cursing last night that he didn't ask any detailed questions.

Once the other party really takes it out, not only his reputation but also the reputation of the entire company will be damaged, and of course, the chairman's reputation as well.

Zhang Wen smiled, turned around and walked out of the door of Hengya Group.

Xia Zhengbiao looked at the target's back as he left, opened his mouth, but said nothing in the end.

He is just a security guard and cannot represent the company, let alone the chairman.

"Damn it!" Yang Muyan gritted his teeth, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

As the assistant to the chairman of Hengya Group, when has he ever been treated like this?
Even the directors were polite when they saw him.

No, we must not let this person go.

"Old Xia." He turned to look at the security guard beside him.

"Assistant Yang, what's the matter?" Xia Zhengbiao asked.

"Tell your captain to come see me." Yang Muyan said coldly.

Seeing Assistant Yang's furious expression, Xia Zhengbiao immediately knew what he wanted from the captain, so he whispered, "Assistant Yang, drink some water and calm down. He has something on us now. If we deal with him now, everyone will know it was us, and that won't be good for us."

"Hmph, he's just a small psychologist. What good does it matter if he knows?" Yang Muyan said disdainfully.

"Don't forget, he is also a screenwriter and a famous composer. Once it appears in the news, we will be in trouble," Xia Zhengbiao reminded.

Of course, he was not only reminding Assistant Yang, but also saving himself.

Because he knew the man's strength, and he also knew that if something happened, Assistant Yang would definitely let them, the security guards, take the blame. It had happened before.

"That depends on whether he has the chance to be on the news." Yang Muyan said with a sneer. Wouldn't it be enough to just spend money to remove the hot search at that time?
"But he also provides life essence to many bosses. If he gets injured, those bosses will pursue him..."

"..."

Yang Muyan calmed down instantly.

Yes, if those bosses pursue the matter, even if the chairman comes forward, he will not be able to protect him.

Isn’t it just a bottle of medicine?
How can it have such great magic power?

It's hype, it must be hype.

Or, report it?
Just say that he is practicing medicine illegally?
