Chapter 12 Stardom and Estrangement

Standing in the aisle of the elegant western restaurant, Zhang Sheng looked like an out-of-place alien.

Hearing Zhang Sheng's greeting, Zhang Panpan glanced at Zhang Sheng very quickly out of the corner of her eye. As if she didn't recognize Zhang Sheng, she subconsciously shrank in and continued to smile and invite Xu Shengnan, a talent scout from [Starlight Future], to sit down.

, and diligently poured her a cup of coffee.

Vaguely, she and Zhang Sheng seemed to be classmates.

There shouldn't be any distance between classmates, and they can't be considered together day and night. Even if they are classmates for so many days and months, there should always be some nods and affection.

But, somehow, an inexplicable barrier emerged naturally from Zhang Panpan. This barrier gradually thickened, as if it was as elusive as the ends of the earth and the ends of the earth, deeply separating her from Zhang Sheng.

perhaps……

Is that an insurmountable class?

Is it an instinctive reaction to the stinky and dirty countryside?

Or maybe, subconsciously, you are afraid of being contaminated by something?

"Hello, classmate Zhang...are you also working part-time today?"

"Well, yes, come over and talk about the integrated stove business and see if there is any chance of getting an order. You guys should be busy first, ha..."

"Hey, I see it was quite hard for you to come all the way here, right?"

"Fortunately, the early bird catches the worm!"

"..."

Lin Xia looked at Zhang Sheng curiously and asked a few questions.

After Zhang Sheng answered Lin Xia's words with a smile, he did not stay at the edge of the seat for too long, then turned and walked towards the kitchen of the cafe.

"Xia Xia, Sister Xu, let's change to a private room. It's too noisy here to talk about things!"

Zhang Panpan's peripheral vision glanced at Zhang Sheng who was walking away when no one was paying attention. Then, as if he thought of something, he stood up and looked at Xu Shengnan diligently.

After Xu Shengnan drank a cup of coffee, he nodded silently.

……………………

Zhang Sheng chatted a lot with the chef of the cafe, but the final outcome was not satisfactory.

In this morning and noon time, Zhang Sheng has visited more than ten stores.

There were two companies that were interested, but after hearing the brand and price of [Senran Integrated Stove], everyone hesitated.

[Failure always runs through life, this is life].

This sentence came to Zhang Sheng's mind.

However, his smile became even brighter.

[Is this the entrepreneurial history of people at the bottom? 】

【interesting!】

[It’s like fighting monsters and upgrading in a game, killing monsters bit by bit, upgrading bit by bit, and then defeating the big BOSS...]

After walking out of the kitchen, Zhang Sheng saw that Lin Xia and Zhang Panpan were occupied by someone else. He pushed up his glasses and glanced at the box.

He naturally felt the extremely strong sense of separation.

but……

It doesn't matter.

He once stood at the top and was used to seeing many girls sticking up to him. Apart from numbness, he only felt lonely in his heart.

[What a boring life! If it hadn’t been for that accident, if I had stayed in that world any longer, I’m afraid my soul would have been corrupted!]

【Oh, this world is so wonderful!】

Under the unusual and weird look of the waiter, Zhang Sheng, who was wearing [Senran Integrated Stove], took his notebook and left the cafe and walked to another restaurant.

A few minutes later, Zhang Sheng walked out of the restaurant again.

After he calmed down for a while, he silently opened the notebook in his hand.

In the notebook, there is information about every customer he has ever visited, as well as the customer's needs and personality, as well as an analysis table of the business layout of this mall.

After watching for a while, Zhang Sheng sat in a seat in the mall, meditated for a long time and finally nodded, and then walked towards the next customer.

Doing business!

It means to keep visiting, keep exploring the pain points and needs of customers, and keep thinking about your own advantages.

Time passes little by little.

Soon it was evening again.

There are gradually more and more people eating in the shopping mall.

Zhang Sheng visited almost all the stores in the catering industry in the shopping mall. After looking at the bustling crowd and the notebook filled with the contact information and personality of each store owner, Zhang Sheng gently pushed up his glasses.

Today seems to be a fruitful day!

Later, Zhang Sheng felt hungry.

He spent some money to buy some bread and mineral water and sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the shopping mall to enjoy them while looking at the sunset in the distance.

"There's another one!"

He saw the store in the corner that was being renovated. After hesitating for a moment, he finally walked towards the store.

……………………

Lin Xia suddenly didn't like Zhang Panpan very much.

Zhang Panpan seems to have an incomprehensible enthusiasm for the stage. At the same time, after meeting Xu Shengnan, a talent scout from [Starlight Future], he seemed to have completely lost his IQ. Almost everything followed Xu Shengnan. If he hadn't been reminding him all the time, I'm afraid,

Zhang Panpan has already signed a C-level artist contract.

C-level artist contract.

The conditions are very harsh, like a contract to sell oneself, and once signed, it lasts for ten years!

Being so young and signing a ten-year C-level contract, isn't this asking for death?

"Let's think about it again."

"Okay, contact me anytime!"

"Uh-huh."

After dinner, Xu Shengnan glanced at Lin Xia and Zhang Panpan calmly, then nodded and left.

"Xia Xia, I know your book is about to be published, but today I am the protagonist. After I sign the contract, I will promote your film and television rights to "That Summer"..."

"..."

"Xia Xia, you may not know the power of [Starlight Future], let alone how many superstars they have launched. This opportunity is rare... You can't just look at the contract!"

"..."

"Xia Xia, when we talk to [Shengshi Entertainment] tomorrow, you don't have to accompany me. I understand the contract and know how to talk to them. Xia Xia, actually you don't have to do this. Don't worry, your "That Summer"

"Film and television copyright, I will help you tell me..."

"..."

Zhang Panpan's voice was chattering beside Lin Xia.

The voice was slightly dissatisfied.

Lin Xia was silent.

Reach the sky in one step!

All eyes are on you!

Applause and flowers!

This is extremely tempting for a little girl who dreams of standing on the stage, appearing in TV movies, and becoming a big star, and she can easily become obsessed with it.

but……

Dirty, filthy, humiliating, depressed, money and sex trade...

The entertainment industry is very chaotic.

but……

At this moment, Zhang Panpan couldn't listen at all.

She originally came here to show off how popular she was with the entertainment company, but in the end she got an unsatisfactory ending.

She might just think that she is verbose and petty and only thinks about her novel "That Midsummer"?
