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

Chapter 95 Hidden Business
After get off work, Zhang Wen took Sun Chengcheng and others to eat something and then rushed to the Workers' Stadium.

As the nine people came out of the subway station, they saw the huge promotional poster of Jiang Li's "Li Liang" concert from afar.

Although there was still more than an hour before the concert started, the area around Workers' Stadium was already filled with fans, holding cheering boards and glow sticks, and rushing towards the entrance.

"Sister Li is so awesome!" Zhao Tong looked at the congested road and the excited crowd, his eyes full of admiration.

Every trainee has a dream of becoming a star, and she is no exception.

"I will be satisfied if I can achieve half of Sister Li's success in the future." Su Jin also sighed.

"almost!"

Zhang Wen smiled.

Next week will be the auditions for the idol competition and development reality show "Super Trainee". If you can become famous in the show, your future career will be limitless.

"Teacher, let's go in quickly." Chen Silu said excitedly. She was a fan of Jiang Li and was very happy to be able to attend the concert tonight.

Tonight, her forehead, face, and clothes are all covered with Jiang Li stickers. She also wears a headband on her head with the words "My lifelong love is Jiang Li" written on it. She is definitely a die-hard fan.

Zhang Wen turned around and looked around. There were many people standing near the entrance holding up their mobile phones, with two words written on the screen: "Seeking tickets."

These are the fans who didn’t get the concert tickets!

Zhang Wen was a man who loved helping others. He hated the sight of people being unable to get what they wanted, so he said to the people around him, "You guys go in first. I'll wait for someone here."

Everyone was stunned when they heard it.

"Teacher Zhang, who are you waiting for? Is he also from our training department?" Sun Chengcheng asked curiously.

Zhang Wen naturally couldn't say that he was waiting for 'someone with great potential', so he shook his head and said, "He's not a colleague of ours, but a friend of mine. I have his ticket."

"Oh!"

Everyone stopped asking questions, said "See you later", and walked towards the entrance.

Zhang Wen silently watched the figures of Teacher Sun and others until he saw them pass through security and enter the gate, then he withdrew his gaze.

He took out the remaining two concert tickets from his pocket. The one Tang Yi gave him was the front-field ticket, which was priced at 1180 on the official website. Someone like him who even hesitated over whether to add spicy strips to his pancakes was not worthy of watching such an expensive concert.

One ticket costs 1180 yuan, two tickets cost 2360 yuan, plus a bag of spicy strips costs 1 yuan, and you have a supply of spicy strips for the next six and a half years.

Zhang Wen looked at several fans who were asking for tickets not far away, and took out the A4 paper he had prepared in advance from his pocket. There was a line of words written on it: There is something urgent, and the tickets are being sold at the original price.

He held the paper to his chest and walked past fans begging for tickets.

When the fans saw the words on the white paper, they quickly surrounded it like ants seeing candy.

"Handsome guy, how many tickets do you have?"

"Brother, infield or outfield?"

"Big brother, please transfer the ticket to me."

Zhang Wen slowly showed two tickets.

"I'm taking the test, backstage! I want both tickets, buddy, and I'll give you an extra twenty!"

"I'll add fifty."

"I'm eighty."

Zhang Wen looked at the fans in front of him who were frantically raising the price. As frugal as he was, he really couldn't understand why anyone would spend so much money to listen to music at a concert.

Are the skewers in the barbecue restaurant not delicious, or are the technicians in the bath center not pretty?

"The eighty-first time!" Zhang Wen said as he waved the ticket in his hand, "The eighty-second time, the eighty-first..."

"one hundred."

"I'll add two hundred!" A little fat man wearing glasses suddenly shouted loudly, looking determined to win.

Zhang Wen grabbed the other person's hand and said, "Brother, you look like my elementary school deskmate. I'll give you this ticket. Cash or WeChat?"

The fat boy was stunned, then immediately took out his phone and said, "WeChat transfer."

"it is good!"

Zhang Wen quickly showed the payment code.

"WeChat payment received 2560 yuan."

When Zhang Wen heard the voice, an uncontrollable smile of enjoyment appeared on his face.

Isn’t this more beautiful than Sister Li’s singing?
"Thanks, brother!" The little fat man hurried to the entrance with the ticket.

Zhang Wen put his phone in his pocket and turned to leave, but he only wandered around somewhere else for two minutes before returning here.

He was waiting for the concert to end. When Sun Chengcheng and others asked him about it, he could use the excuse that he was "not in the same area" and no one would know whether he had attended the concert or not.

Just when he was about to play Landlord to pass the time, his cell phone suddenly rang. It was Tang Yi calling.

"Hello, Tang Yi, how are the preparations going?" Zhang Wen asked after answering the phone.

"I'm ready, just a little nervous. Teacher Zhang, are you here?"

"Well, here we are, listen!"

Zhang Wen pointed the receiver of his mobile phone at the entrance, where a recording was playing in a loop.

"To avoid long queues, please arrive as early as possible and voluntarily accept security checks and ticket inspections by on-site ticket inspectors..."

Zhang Wen raised the phone to his ear again, "How is it, did you hear it?"

"I heard it, I heard it. With you here, teacher, I won't be nervous anymore." Tang Yi's happy voice came from the microphone.

Zhang Wen was slightly startled when he heard this, as if something in his heart was touched. He was enjoying the reminder of the payment just now, but now he felt that the spicy strips were not tasty anymore.

Oh, just keep one!

For the first time, money didn't bring him peace of mind, but instead a hint of guilt. Wait!

Zhang Wen suddenly thought of something. Although he didn't have a ticket now, he knew someone.

It's time to shake people up!

"Tang Yi, is Agent Gao here tonight?"

"I'm here. Sister Yue is right next to me now. Are you looking for her?"

"Well, give her the phone."

"Good teacher."

There was silence in the microphone for a moment, and soon a cold voice was heard.

"Teacher Zhang, what's going on?"

"Come out for a moment and take me in." Zhang Wen said.

"Ah? Why? Didn't Tang Yi give you the ticket?" Gao Yue asked puzzledly.

"Uh, the ticket just got blown away by the wind..."

"What? How about this, you wait for me at the entrance to the underground parking lot. There are fewer people there."

"understood."

Zhang Wen hung up the phone and walked towards the underground parking lot.

When he arrived at the agreed location, Gao Yue was already there, and his usually cold face was now smiling.

"Can you please stop being such a fangirl?" Zhang Wen rolled his eyes at the other person. At this very moment, if it were any other time, he would definitely teach the other person a lesson.

"Who's crazy about you? I just think you're really unlucky." Gao Yue said as he handed over a card.

Zhang Wen took a look and saw that it was a temporary work permit.

"Hang it up quickly, don't let the wind blow it away." Gao Yue joked with a smile.

Zhang Wen wore his work ID around his neck. This thing was really good. He could listen wherever he wanted. It really was easier to get things done when he had acquaintances.

Gao Yue saw the man remained silent, a hint of confusion in her eyes. She wondered, "What's wrong with him today? Did he eat glue? He's not even angry at being bullied like this? He's not usually like this."

Zhang Wen naturally saw what the other party was thinking, but for the sake of this temporary work permit, he endured it.

This is more than a thousand yuan!
Zhang Wen followed the woman into the underground parking lot and took the internal elevator to the backstage.

There is still half an hour before the concert starts. The staff are carrying out final checks and preparations. Everyone looks very busy, coming and going in a hurry.

At this moment, the door of a room in front suddenly opened, and a woman in a gorgeous dress walked out.

The dress was inlaid with countless silver sequins, which sparkled under the light.

"Sister Li?"

Zhang Wen's eyes lit up. The woman was the protagonist of tonight's concert, singer Jiang Li.

When Jiang Li heard the voice behind her, she turned her head unconsciously. When she saw the young man behind her, a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face.

"Teacher Xiao Zhang? You're here!"

"Sister Li, I wish you a successful performance." Zhang Wen walked over and said.

"Thank you. There's a celebration party after the concert. You must come." Jiang Li invited enthusiastically. Then she moved closer and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "I'll introduce you to a few friends at the celebration party. They're all interested in psychological counseling."

"I understand!" Zhang Wen nodded, feeling happy. It seemed that his trip tonight was not in vain, as he had an unexpected gain.

Gao Yue, who was standing by, looked at the intimacy between the man and Sister Li, and was so shocked that she couldn't express it in words.

Wasn't this person here to see Tang Yi? How did he know Sister Li? And they looked very familiar.

By the way, Tang Yi seemed to have said that being invited to be a guest at Sister Li’s concert was an opportunity that Teacher Zhang had fought for.

At that time, she was a little bit unconvinced, thinking that it might be because Tang Yi's debut song was a hit and the company wanted Sister Li to guide this newcomer. But now it seems that she can no longer disbelieve it.

"Teacher Zhang, I'm going to get ready. See you at the celebration party." Jiang Li said.

"Okay, Sister Li." Zhang Wen waved at the other party and looked away.

Gao Yue calmly walked up to the man and asked curiously, "How do you know Sister Li?"

Zhang Wen retracted his gaze after hearing this, looked up and down at the woman in front of him, blinked, and said, "What's so strange about this? I know a lot of celebrities, and I told you a long time ago that our Xingxiang has always been low-key. Our main goal is to quietly provide talent for the entertainment industry. You don't believe it."

Gao Yue was stunned. It seemed that the other party had said that, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt something was wrong.

"That's not right. Isn't Xingxiang an art exam training center? And considering your age now, when Sister Li was taking the college entrance exam, you were probably still in kindergarten, right?"

"Since you've asked, I won't hide it anymore." Zhang Wen said seriously, "In fact, Xingxiang has some hidden businesses."

"Hidden business?" Gao Yue was stunned. She only knew that restaurants had hidden menus, but she had never heard of training classes having hidden business.

"Yes, our Xingxiang's public business is to provide professional training services for art exam candidates, while our hidden business is to provide consulting services for artists to help them grow in life and career." Zhang Wen said seriously.

Gao Yue was completely stunned this time.

Helping artists grow?

Sister Li is such a big star, does she still need art exam training to help her grow?
The most important thing is that looking at Sister Li’s expression just now, she seemed very satisfied with the help.

Hidden business, is it so awesome?

Gao Yue frowned slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Should the artists under your management also give it a try?
