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

Chapter 411 Overturning the table
The day after returning to Beijing, Zhang Wen arrived at the film set as usual, but did not see Song Haoran until filming began.

He thought the other party wouldn't come back for a while after being frustrated, but around noon, he saw the other party appear on set carrying an insulated bag.

"Look, Song Haoran is here again."

"Teacher Zhang is back, and he still dares to come to the film set? He really doesn't respect Teacher Zhang at all!"

"They're celebrities, they definitely look down on screenwriters."

"Hehe, there's going to be a good show today."

The crew members whispered among themselves, their eyes darting back and forth between Song Haoran and Teacher Zhang, looking on like spectators watching a show.

Filming is a very boring thing, but now that they see there's gossip to be had, everyone immediately perked up, even the actors on set.

Life off-screen is often more fascinating than the drama itself.

"stop!"

"We filmed everyone this morning, so hurry up and have a meal and rest. We'll continue this afternoon." The director's voice echoed throughout the set.

Because the filming of the entire drama is about to wrap up, Han Xiaohua's attitude has improved a lot, her temper has been tempered, and she can even be seen smiling occasionally.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately relaxed, finally able to openly enjoy the gossip.

Bai Lu said "Thank you for your hard work" to the actors she was acting with, and then walked towards the van. But after only a few steps, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

It's Song Haoran again.

The other person was wearing a black mask today, covering the lower half of their face. If you didn't know better, you'd think they were a highway robber.

"Bai Lu, are you hungry? I brought you lunch. It's Tangyuan's home-style cooking. Eat it while it's hot." Song Haoran eagerly handed over the insulated bag.

Tangyuan is a very famous private restaurant in Beijing, and you usually need to make a reservation several days in advance to get a table.

"Who are you?" Bai Lu frowned slightly, looking Song Haoran up and down, pretending not to recognize him.

"It's me, Song Haoran," Song Haoran said, pulling his mask down to his chin.

Bai Lu feigned sudden realization, then stared at the other person's mouth and asked knowingly, "Where are your teeth? Why are two missing?"

Hearing Bai Lu's words, the people around couldn't help but recall Song Haoran's face-planting yesterday, and they all burst out laughing.

Song Haoran was a little embarrassed and quickly put his mask back on, explaining, "I accidentally fell while sleeping yesterday and knocked out a tooth."

"What? You lost your tooth after sleeping?" Bai Lu asked incredulously. His loud voice drew laughter from those around him, and even Han Xiaohua couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, who dares to say that Bai Lu's acting skills are bad?

"It wasn't taking a nap, it was falling down, falling down." Song Haoran's mouth started to leak again.

"Sleep?" Bai Lu looked puzzled.

"Fifteen loves to fall, trip and fall down." Song Haoran continued to correct him, blaming it all on President Li in his heart. If President Li hadn't only given him half a month to conquer Bailu, he wouldn't have come here to embarrass himself before his dental implant was properly done.

Fortunately, he was wearing a mask, so no one saw his bright red face.

"Oh." Bai Lu looked knowing, then looked at the insulated bag in the other person's hand and said, "You're injured, you should keep these for yourself."

After saying that, he continued walking towards the van.

"I'm fine, I just lost two teeth. This is something I prepared especially for you, so please accept it." Song Haoran said, trying to put it into Bai Lu's hand.

Just as he was about to touch the other person's hand, a larger hand took the insulated bag directly from his.

Zhang Wen stood in front of Bai Lu and looked at Song Haoran, saying, "Just delivering food is fine, but why are you getting handsy? Are you trying to take advantage of me?"

The onlookers immediately became excited, staring intently at the three people, wondering if something extraordinary would happen today. Even the lunchboxes remained unclaimed.

"Who, who took advantage of me? Don't talk nonsense, okay? I just wanted to express my feelings to Bai Lu, so give me the food." Song Haoran said, reaching out to grab it.

"Do you want food?" Zhang Wen asked.

"It was originally mine," Song Haoran said after hearing this, but then felt something was off.

beg?

Who wants food? Isn't that an insult?

"Wasn't this for Bai Lu? I'll accept it on her behalf." Zhang Wen said as he opened the insulated bag, revealing eight insulated boxes inside. He was quite generous.

Seeing the other party's actions, Song Haoran hurriedly reached out to snatch it again, saying, "This is between Bai Lu and me, you don't need to interfere."

"Like a dog biting Lü Dongbin, not recognizing a kind heart." Zhang Wen scoffed and returned the insulated bag.

Song Haoran snatched back the insulated bag, feeling relieved. He turned to look at Bai Lu, forgetting that he was still wearing a mask, and gave what he thought was a gentle and considerate smile.

"Bai Lu, this is a token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

Bai Lu sneered. Putting aside the fact that she already knew about the other party and Li Lehua's scheme, even if she didn't know, she would not accept gifts from other men in front of her boyfriend.

How is this any different from slapping your boyfriend in the face?
"Honey, you handle this for me," Bai Lu said to Zhang Wen, then walked towards the van without looking back.

"Bai Lu, Bai Lu, don't go, wait for me!" Song Haoran hurriedly chased after him, but was stopped by Zhang Wen as soon as he took a step.

"Did you hear that? I'll take care of it for her." Zhang Wen reached out and snatched the insulated bag. After seeing Bai Lu get into the car, he pulled up a chair and sat down, taking out the insulated boxes from the bag and opening them one by one.

"you……"

Song Haoran gritted his teeth, thinking of the task assigned by President Li, and gave a cold snort before walking towards the van.

He tugged at the door handle, but the car door didn't open; it was clearly locked from the inside.

"Bai Lu, open the door, I have something to tell you," Song Haoran said earnestly.

The car door remained motionless and did not open.

"Boom boom boom!"

Song Haoran knocked on the car window and continued, "Bai Lu, not just anyone can act in Teacher Xiaoman's script. This is a rare opportunity for both of us. I hope you won't act impulsively and will carefully consider my proposal."

"Bai Lu, I've always thought of you as a very career-minded and professional actress. You shouldn't reject this opportunity because of someone else..."

"Please think about it carefully again. I'll wait for your reply."

"..."

Looking at the still unopened car door and noticing the strange looks from those around him, Song Haoran had no choice but to leave in front of the van.

He also wants to save face.

Song Haoran had only taken a few steps when he saw Zhang Wen eating the lunch he had given to Bai Lu.

Seven boxes of vegetables and one box of rice cost a total of 3,300 yuan.

If it were Bai Lu eating him, he wouldn't feel bad at all; in fact, he would be very happy. But if it were this man eating him, he would feel both bad and annoyed.

"Who told you to eat it?" Song Haoran questioned, dissatisfied.

"Did you lose your hearing? Didn't you hear Bai Lu just say that I should handle it for her?" Zhang Wen said while eating. "What's hers is mine. Why are you, a grown man, fussing over these things?"

"You..." Song Haoran was so taken aback that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"To be honest, the taste is just so-so." Zhang Wen smacked his lips and said, "The food has been in the insulated container for too long, and even the taste has changed. If you really care, next time you should invite the chef to come and cook on the spot, and make more so that everyone can try it. Otherwise, how can we speak well of you? I feel embarrassed if I eat these few containers while others watch, don't you all think so?"

After Zhang Wen finished speaking, he looked at the staff around him.

This way, not only will it satisfy everyone's cravings, but it will also save the production crew a considerable amount of money.

"Yes!"

"Teacher Zhang is right."

"How stingy."

Everyone agreed.

"..." At this moment, Song Haoran looked like he had eaten a poisonous mushroom, his face turned green.

Inviting everyone to dinner? Are they taking him for a fool?

“Listen to this, this is the voice of the people,” Zhang Wen said.

Song Haoran was already upset because of Bai Lu's rejection. Now, hearing Zhang Wen's sarcastic remarks and the mocking looks from those around him, he became furious and pushed over the folding table, turning all the insulated food containers upside down and scattering the food all over the floor.

Some soup splashed onto Zhang Wen, which was particularly noticeable on his white clothes.

"You can eat it!"

"Even if I throw it away, I won't give it to you."

"..."

The set fell silent instantly. Everyone looked at Song Haoran in surprise, no one had expected him to flip the table.

If you don't want Teacher Zhang to eat it, you can just put it away and throw it away. Why flip the table?
Even if you're angry, you shouldn't do that.

You are a celebrity, a public figure.

Everyone turned their attention to Teacher Zhang, wondering how she would deal with the soup splattered all over her.

This time, surely it'll be a clash between Mars and Earth, right?
The assistant next to him was also startled and quickly reached out to grab Haoran's arm, fearing that he might do something irrational again.

Zhang Wen looked at the food scattered all over the floor and shook his head slightly. "Sigh, you could have taken this food with you. Why throw it away? Isn't that a waste of food?"

After saying that, he squatted down on the ground, reached out and picked up the food that had been scattered on the ground and put it back into the insulated box.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

What is Teacher Zhang trying to do? Why isn't she angry, and why is she picking up the food from the ground?
Could it be that they want to pin this food on Song Haoran?
Song Haoran was also stunned, his eyes full of surprise.

what's the situation?
Based on the experience of these two exchanges, shouldn't the other party raise their voice, throw out a brick to attract jade, use someone else to do the dirty work, wait for the enemy to tire themselves out, and incite those around them to mock and ostracize him?

Which of the Thirty-Six Stratagems is being used this time?
Could it be a ruse involving feigned injury?

Song Haoran stole a glance at the reactions of the people around him, and sure enough, everyone's gaze towards him revealed hostility.

Disgust, contempt, rejection, anger...

It was as if he were an utterly wicked person.

Director Han Xiaohua, in particular, had a serious expression and his eyes were filled with coldness, as if two long swords gleaming with a cold light were piercing towards him.

Oops!

Song Haoran's heart skipped a beat; he had incurred the wrath of the masses.

When everyone in the crew started to ostracize him, he could no longer stay in the crew.

"Let's go!" Song Haoran whispered to his assistant, then lowered his head and walked out of the filming location.

He walked very fast, as if afraid of being stopped and beaten up by a group of people.

Just as he was about to walk out of the cordon, Song Haoran tripped over something, lost his balance, and fell forward.

Another blunder.

"Oh!"

"what!"

This time, Song Haoran couldn't hold back and cried out in pain.

The assistant standing beside him was dumbfounded.

what's the situation?
Another one of those flat-ground falls?
"Brother Haoran!"

She quickly helped Song Haoran up. He looked even more disheveled than yesterday. His mask had fallen off, and he was bleeding from both his mouth and nose.

Huh?
Why does Haoran seem a bit strange?

and many more!

What the hell!

nose!

Is your nose crooked?

Song Haoran's cheeks twitched, then he reached out and covered his mouth, spitting out a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood and sand, along with two teeth.

They are the two lower front teeth.

The hole in his mouth got bigger, and more air leaked out.

Song Haoran looked back at the place he had just passed. The ground was flat, without any stones or potholes.

I tripped and fell twice in the same spot. Why am I so unlucky?

The two upper front teeth haven't been implanted yet, and the two lower ones have been knocked out. Is that guy surnamed Zhang cursed him?

Song Haoran thought to himself.

This turn of the head revealed Song Haoran's miserable state to everyone in the crew.

The crooked nose and the tooth hole that revealed the tongue caused everyone to pause for a moment before bursting into laughter.

"Haha, you deserve it!"

"This is karma!"

"Stay away from him in the future, so you don't get caught in the crossfire when you get struck by lightning."

"..."

Hearing the laughter of the crowd, Song Haoran's face turned from black to white, and in the end he left without saying a word, his legs splayed out like a compass.

"Pfft!"

"Ha ha!"

Laughter erupted again in the film crew.

The stagehand walked over to Zhang Wen with a broom and a trash can. "Teacher Zhang, don't pick them up anymore, I'll sweep them up."

"No need, I can do it myself." Zhang Wen waved his hand.

"Teacher Zhang, let me do it. How can I let you do this job?" the stagehand said eagerly.

"It's okay, my hand is already like this anyway." Zhang Wen picked up the food on the ground and threw it into the trash can. He then carefully swept the ground again until it was as good as new before stopping.

The film set quickly returned to calm, and everyone lined up to receive their boxed lunches, eating while whispering about what had just happened.

After washing his hands, Zhang Wen got directly into Bai Lu's business vehicle.

"Why are you picking it up? It's so dirty." Bai Lu helped the man take off his coat.

Zhang Wen did not answer Bai Lu's question, but looked at his assistant Zhao Linlin, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

"How about it?"

"Teacher Zhang, I've taken pictures of everything." Zhao Linlin handed over her phone.

Zhang Wen clicked on the video, which was the recording of Song Haoran overturning the dining table and him picking up the food. Although it was secretly filmed, it was very clear.

"Song Haoran, hehe!"

Hearing Teacher Zhang's laughter, Zhao Linlin involuntarily shivered. She knew that Song Haoran was completely finished this time.

Going against Teacher Zhang is truly overestimating oneself!
