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

Chapter 53 Teacher, I want to debut!
Zhang Wen is not a person who lives for others. He does not care what others think of him, so after hearing those rumors, he did not care in his heart, and did not even intend to defend himself, because he knew very well that the explanation of the parties involved would often only make the situation worse, as long as it did not affect his ability to make money.

Entertainment companies are like this, they create small things out of nothing and blow small things into big things. No one cares whether it is true or not, entertainment is the most important thing. But that is also why there is no need to explain, because in a few days everyone will be attracted by the new gossip.

Zhang Wen continued to work hard in the afternoon, raising his record from seven times in half a day to thirteen times a day, which made all the male colleagues in the training department envious and their eyes full of admiration.

After all, not everyone has such strength.

In the evening, Zhang Wen walked out of the company with his chest puffed out, like a proud and heroic rooster.

"Teacher Zhang!"

A voice suddenly came.

Zhang Wen looked in the direction of the voice and saw Tang Yi walking towards him quickly.

"Teacher, you treated me to dinner last time, so I'll treat you tonight." Tang Yi's voice was soft and sweet, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Why be polite? You're not a stranger." Zhang Wen said indifferently after hearing this.

"Teacher, actually I have something and I'd like to hear your advice, so..." Tang Yi clutched the corner of his clothes, feeling a little embarrassed, as if he was worried about being rejected.

Zhang Wen was slightly stunned. Since the other party participated in the special training, his mental state has been getting better and better, and he rarely shows such anxiety.

what is it today?
"Okay, there's a new soup dumpling place across from the training center. Let's go there and eat while we chat, and then we can go straight to class after we're done."

Zhang Wen readily agreed. The other party was his VIP, so of course he would not refuse such a small matter.

After hearing this, the worry on Tang Yi's face immediately disappeared, and instead he showed a happy expression, saying repeatedly: "Thank you, teacher, thank you, teacher."

"Let's go!" Zhang Wen waved at the other party, then walked towards the subway.

Looking at the two figures, some employees whispered behind their backs.

"Isn't that Mr. Zhang? The girl walking with him seems to be a trainee from our company."

"Yes, yes, that's the trainees. Teacher Zhang has trainees accompanying him during the day and at night. He lives a very comfortable life. Do you think his body is made of iron?"

"I don't know if it's made of iron, but it's definitely extraordinary."

"Alas, I don't envy the mandarin ducks or the immortals, I envy Teacher Zhang every day. I wish I could be a training teacher too."

"..."

Soup dumpling shop.

Zhang Wen ordered two baskets of steamed buns, two bowls of porridge, a plate of cold dishes and a platter of braised food. Although the food was not much, it was already very rich for him.

"Don't you have something to talk to me about? Tell me."

While waiting for the buns, Zhang Wen looked at Tang Yi who was sitting opposite him.

Tang Yi poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Zhang Wen before saying, "Teacher Zhang, do you think I can make my debut with my current singing ability?"

Ok?
Zhang Wen, who was drinking water, put down the cup and looked at the other person without blinking.

He remembered Xu Qingyu saying that the company planned to let Tang Yi debut last year, but was ultimately rejected by the other party, and was rejected twice. Why would he take the initiative to ask about debut today?
Could it be that the symptoms of anxiety have been alleviated?

"Why, do you want to make your debut?" Zhang Wen asked with a smile.

"Ah."

Tang Yi nodded, blushing and a little embarrassed, she said, "This year marks my fifth year as a trainee. All the trainees who signed with the same company as me have already debuted, and now I'm the only one left. I used to worry that my anxiety disorder would affect my debut, but now with your help, Teacher Zhang, my condition is getting better, so I want to fulfill my dream."

She spoke very seriously, especially when she mentioned 'debut' and 'dream', her eyes sparkled.

Zhang Wen looked at the girl intently and was happy that she could say these things, because it showed that she was getting rid of negative emotions and coming out of her previous anxiety.

At this moment, he felt both the joy of helping others and the sense of accomplishment of saving lives.

"You shouldn't ask me this question," Zhang Wen said.

"what?"

Tang Yi was stunned.

In her heart, although she had not known Teacher Zhang for a long time, she had long regarded him as her mentor, so when it came to such a big thing as debuting, the first thing she thought of was to seek Teacher Zhang's opinion.

But now, after hearing what Teacher Zhang said, she began to feel uneasy again.

What do you mean?
Is it that my current strength is not enough?

Soon, she came to her senses and asked in a trembling voice, "Then, who should I ask?"

She thought about everyone around her: her parents, her friends, her company executives. They all could answer her questions, but no one could reassure her like Teacher Zhang. "You should ask yourself this question," Zhang Wen said, his gaze blazing. "Ask yourself if you're ready. If you feel you are, then don't hesitate. Stand up bravely. If you don't feel ready, then just continue to be a trainee, just like before."

Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought.

Zhang Wen drank water quietly, waiting for the other party's decision.

In fact, what he said just now sounded like he was letting the other party make his own choice, but in fact he was encouraging the other party to debut. After all, no one wants to be a trainee forever.

Especially when you see that fellow trainees of the same period have already debuted and the trainees around you are much younger than you, who wouldn’t be anxious?

He used to have anxiety and had all sorts of random thoughts in his head, but now that his anxiety has eased, his desire to debut has naturally been rekindled.

He can help the other person order food and treat anxiety, but he cannot help the other person make decisions about debuting.

It's not that he's afraid of responsibility, but he feels that if a trainee doesn't even have the courage and confidence to debut, then what's the point of being an artist? He should just choose another career as soon as possible.

Otherwise, even if you make your debut, the anxiety and doubt in your heart will become a time bomb. Once you encounter difficulties and setbacks, self-doubt will arise, which will affect your overall state.

Not long after, the buns and dishes were served.

Zhang Wen was really hungry, so he ignored Tang Yi and started eating by himself.

The buns taste good, with thin skin, large fillings and delicious soup.

Soon, he finished the whole basket of buns.

"Comfortable!"

Zhang Wen leaned back in his chair, making satisfied sounds.

Tang Yi came back to her senses at this moment, but her flickering eyes were filled with complex emotions. She bit her lip and suddenly asked, "Teacher, do you know why I have anxiety?"

Zhang Wen nodded, "I can roughly guess."

Tang Yi was a little surprised. She thought the other party would say he didn't know. After all, she had only told the doctor about this matter. She thought: Teacher Zhang is worthy of his name. No wonder he can treat anxiety disorder.

She didn't ask how he knew, but instead continued, "When I first joined the company, I was very happy. No matter what the training was, I was always the hardest-working one. But gradually, I found that the trainees the company pushed were always the most beautiful. Gradually, I began to worry about my appearance, and later I began to doubt my own abilities..."

As Tang Yi spoke, his expression became distorted.

She held her head with her hands and inserted her fingers into her hair. Resentment, pain, unwillingness, all kinds of emotions intertwined together, as if she had returned to the past.

Zhang Wen listened quietly without interrupting. The other party needed an outlet to vent, and he was happy to be the listener. Besides, wasn't this a sign of trust in him?
After a long time, Tang Yi suddenly raised her head, tears already wet her eyes, and asked with a struggling look, "Teacher, do you think I'm really that bad?"

Zhang Wen shook his head and said seriously, "It's not you who's lacking, it's those who didn't choose you. Their vision is too poor. So, don't use other people's standards to deny yourself. Nietzsche said, 'What doesn't kill you will make you stronger.' Believe it or not, you are the strongest trainee I've ever seen."

Tang Yi stared blankly at the teacher opposite her. The other's words were like a reassurance that relieved her of the confusion and pain in her heart.

At this moment, she thought, even if everyone was not optimistic about her, so what? As long as Teacher Zhang was optimistic about her, that was enough.

"Teacher, I've decided."

Tang Yi wiped his eyes with his hands and said with determination: "I want to debut. After my anxiety disorder is cured, I will debut. I want to be a singer, an excellent singer, live my own life and fulfill my dream."

Zhang Wen smiled, a relieved smile.

"I support you and I will be your loyal listener!"

"Thank you, teacher!"

"Eat quickly, it's getting late."

Tang Yi nodded, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

When checking out, Zhang Wen scanned the code and paid at lightning speed.

"Teacher, we agreed that I would treat you to a meal." Tang Yi wanted to reach out to stop him, but it was too late.

"You don't understand. This is called investment. If you feel bad about it, just treat me to a few more meals when you become a big star in the future." Zhang Wen said jokingly.

After hearing this, Tang Yi nodded very seriously.

"Teacher, I will!"
