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

Chapter 99 Paparazzi Appearance
At noon, Zhang Wen took Tao Huimin to the bun shop across the street to eat soup dumplings, and then found a nearby bank to handle the transfer procedures.

Looking at the extra 20 on the account statement, his hands trembled uncontrollably, just like Wu Laoer next door.

The only difference is that Wu Laoer was shaking because of cerebral thrombosis, while he was shaking because of excitement.

It’s not that he has never seen money. In fact, there are more than 30 yuan in his WeChat wallet, but this money was earned from dozens of people with great difficulty, while the 20 yuan in the bank card was earned from one person.

Sure enough, it is easier to make money from celebrities.

Just as he was about to return to the psychological counseling center with Tao Huimin, he saw from afar a stall owner on the sidewalk outside the door.

The woman was dressed in ordinary clothes. In front of her was a large basket filled with eggs, and a piece of cardboard with a line of words written on it: Local eggs, 3 yuan each.

There are many mobile vendors like this all over the country. They walk from street to street, working hard to make a living.

Zhang Wen was walking when he suddenly stopped, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked thoughtful.

He sold free-range eggs in high school.

He first collects the eggs from nearby neighbors and then takes them to the town to sell. However, he always sets up stalls in places with a large flow of people, such as the market entrance and the community entrance. This is the first time I have seen vendors setting up stalls outside bath centers and art exam training centers to sell free-range eggs.

"Teacher Zhang, what's wrong?" Tao Huimin saw Teacher Zhang stop and a hint of doubt appeared on her smiling face.

"Something's happening!" Zhang Wen said.

He checked the female vendor's skill panel and found that there was indeed a problem.

"Jiang Xin, skills: Shooting 59 points, Tracking 55 points, Concealment 51 points, Sprint 47 points..."

Who can tell him why a vendor selling free-range eggs knows how to take photos and has a skill point of 59?

Also, what the hell are the skills of tracking and concealment?
Is the threshold for selling free-range eggs so high now?
Three professional-level skills, and one skill point close to the professional level. Is this the spy who was laid off and then re-employed?
"Situation? What's the situation?" Tao Huimin asked in confusion, turning her head to look around, but found nothing.

Zhang Wen was still confused, but now looking at the young actress in front of him, he suddenly thought of a possibility.

Paparazzi!

Paparazzi are entertainment reporters who track stars and celebrities and specialize in reporting inside stories and privacy. They are an important part of the entertainment industry and their relationship with stars is both friend and foe.

Zhang Wen saw the female vendor looking around, so he quickly pulled Tao Huimin into a corner.

"What's wrong?" Tao Huimin looked puzzled.

"There are paparazzi!" Zhang Wen said seriously.

It's strange. When I came out of the training center before, there was no one there. How come paparazzi appeared during the meal?
And judging from the location of the other party's stall, it was clear that they were coming for his training center.

He is not a star or a celebrity, so he is definitely not the target of the paparazzi. So there is only one answer: the other party is targeting Tao Huimin.

But the question is, how did this paparazzi know that Tao Huimin was with him?

You know, in order to avoid being discovered by paparazzi, Tao Huimin even drove away the nanny car.

"what?"

Tao Huimin's face changed and she immediately took out a mask from her pocket and put it on her face, her expression visibly nervous.

If paparazzi knew that she was receiving psychological treatment, they would definitely not be able to buy the information without spending millions.

"Where is it? Why can't I see it?"

She frowned and observed carefully with her almond-shaped eyes, from the passing cars to the passers-by, even the passing Pekingese were glanced at by her, but she did not find anything unusual.

Zhang Wen raised his chin, pointed to the entrance of the training center and said, "That's the guy selling free-range eggs."

"what?"

Tao Huimin stared at it for a long time, but she didn't think it looked like anything.

She turned around to look at the man next to her, and after a moment's hesitation, she asked, "Are you trying to scare me? How does she look like a paparazzi? And how did you tell that?"

Of course, Zhang Wen couldn't say that he could see the other party's skill panel. After thinking about it, he could only express his suspicion, "Sister Min, have you ever seen a vendor selling free-range eggs in front of the art exam training center?"

Tao Huimin blinked. "This seems to be her freedom, right?"

Zhang Wen was speechless after hearing this. Aren’t vendors setting up stalls for the sake of making money but for freedom?

After Tao Huimin finished speaking, she also felt that her words were a little ridiculous, so she asked cautiously: "Teacher Xiao Zhang, what should we do now?"

She didn't want to be photographed by paparazzi.

Zhang Wen pondered for a moment, then said, "Sister Min, you stay here, I'll go meet her." After that, he walked towards the egg vendor.

He wanted to personally confirm the man's identity and, by the way, to find out his purpose for coming here. After all, there would be female celebrities coming and going here for the next two days. If the paparazzi spotted them, how could he guarantee their privacy? Who would dare to come to him for psychological treatment in the future?

Zhang Wen pretended to be a passerby and kept glancing at the female vendor's face. He wanted to confirm one thing: whether the female vendor recognized him.

He was still a few meters away from the female vendor. Seeing that there was no abnormality on her face, he felt relieved. As he walked over, he casually asked, "How much are the eggs?"

"Three yuan each, five yuan for two," the female vendor said with a smile, looking away from other things. "So cheap? I'll take them all," Zhang Wen said.

"what?"

The female vendor was stunned, and the smile on her face froze for a moment.

Zhang Wen pretended not to notice and continued, "I run a restaurant. Can you deliver it to me? It's on the next street."

After saying that, he pointed seriously in the opposite direction of Tao Huimin.

"Well, um, I'm afraid not." The female vendor showed an embarrassed expression and her eyes began to wander around.

"Why? Are you discriminating against me as a restaurant owner?" Zhang Wen frowned and pretended to be angry.

"No, handsome guy, I don't mean to discriminate against you, I just... my feet hurt, yes, my feet hurt, I just sprained my ankle." The female vendor said this with a grin and a hissing sound, showing that she was in great pain.

Zhang Wen laughed inwardly. If he hadn't seen the other party circling around the egg basket before, he might have actually believed his lies. But now...

"Are you sure you sprained your ankle and can't walk?" Zhang Wen squatted down, staring at the other person's ankle, his eyes full of concern.

"Sure, it's my foot, of course I'm sure. Otherwise, you can leave me your address and I will send it to you tomorrow? Or you can carry it back yourself?" The female vendor gave two options.

"Okay, I'll carry it myself!"

Zhang Wen picked up the basket, weighed it, then turned and ran, leaving only a gust of wind behind.

Yes, he ran away with the basket of eggs.

The female vendor just stood there, as if she was being held captive. After a while, she came to her senses and started chasing after him, shouting, "Don't run! Give me back my eggs!"

At this moment, does it look like he sprained his ankle at all?

Tao Huimin, who was not far away, was stunned when she saw this scene.

Didn't Teacher Zhang go to meet the female vendor? How did it become a fight over eggs?

I just transferred 20 yuan for psychological treatment. Can’t you even afford to pay two or three hundred yuan for eggs?
and many more!

If Teacher Xiao Zhang is caught, will I become an accomplice?

Teacher Zhang, you are confused!

Zhang Wen looked back while running. After running out of a street, he found that only the female vendor was chasing him, so he stopped.

It seems there is no companion!

"You, why did you steal my eggs?" the female vendor asked loudly and angrily, reaching out to grab the other person's arm.

Zhang Wen didn't answer, but stared at the other person's feet. "Didn't you sprain your ankle? Why are you running so fast?"

The female vendor was shocked, then said confidently: "You stole my eggs. Not to mention spraining your ankle, even if you only have one foot left, I will chase you. Return my eggs to me quickly."

Zhang Wen said calmly, "Who stole your eggs? Didn't you tell me to carry them myself?"

"But you haven't paid yet. What I mean is that you pay and then put the eggs in your pocket and take them away." said the female vendor. The final right of interpretation belongs to the merchant.

"Oh, you should have told me earlier. I thought you were giving it to me because we're relatives." Zhang Wen put down the basket of eggs.

"Relatives?" The female vendor looked puzzled.

"That's right!" Zhang Wen nodded, then frowned and asked, "Niece, you don't even recognize your uncle, do you? I'm your mother's distant cousin. We met at a wedding a few years ago. Your name is Jiang, Jiang Xin, right?"

The female vendor was skeptical at first, thinking that the man in front of her was not even as old as herself, so how could he be her uncle?

But when she finally heard the other party say her name accurately, she immediately believed it 80%.

There are many relatives on her mother's side, and there are indeed cases where younger people are older than her. She has seen with her own eyes her mother call a person of the same age "aunt".

"Uncle, I'm sorry. You've changed so much in these years that I didn't recognize you at first." Jiang Xin forced a smile. Although they were not familiar with each other, he was an elder after all, so she still had to show due courtesy.

Zhang Wen smiled and said, "Niece, you've changed a lot. By the way, I remember your mother said you were a journalist. How could you be selling eggs on the roadside? You didn't lie to her on purpose to make her happy, did you?"

When Jiang Xin heard this, the last bit of doubt she had disappeared without a trace, leaving only family affection.

"Uncle, I'm telling you, don't tell anyone. I'm actually working right now. According to reliable information, a female celebrity's lover works at that art exam training center, and they're going on a date there today."

After saying that, he gave me a look that said 'you know'.

"Oh, you were lurking there, trying to take secret photos of them?" Zhang Wen looked surprised.

"That's right. If I can take the picture, I will be a well-known figure in the circle of entertainment reporters." Jiang Xin said with a proud smile.

"Oh? Really? I hope you can be so honest when you see the police later." Zhang Wen said as he took out his mobile phone from his pocket. The screen showed that it was recording.
