"What treatnt did you give her? How does it compare to my contract terms?"
"About the sa."
"Really the sa? You didn't give her more preferential treatnt?" Zhang Yuxi made a disbelieving face.
"Believe it or not."
"Well, I guess you still have a bit of a conscience. After all, with what we've been through, you definitely should favor more."
Chen Feng thought to himself, she's gentler and more accommodating towards compared to you.
"Now that she's signed with your company, do you plan on tailoring a film or drama specifically for her?"
Zhang Jingwen asked with concern.
"No. This year, the company probably won't have any suitable roles for her, so she will have to look outside. Her focus will be on her music career since she's a singer-songwriter with a sizable fan base."
"What's so great about that?" Zhang Jingwen sneered, pretending to be dismissive, "Her singing is average, it's just her looks that attract a bunch of lustful male fans."
"Though you are competitors, you shouldn't deliberately belittle her. Be objective."
"To be objective, she's just a third-rate singer and actress."
Chen Feng laughed and asked, "How about you? How are your singing and acting skills?"
Zhang Jingwen wasn't embarrassed and replied imdiately, "My singing is definitely better than hers; I just don't want to be a singer. Being a singer now is not profitable, just a publicity stunt. My acting skills are certainly not worse. My performance in 'Immortal Destiny' has been recognized by many professionals."
While her words were not incorrect, her two lead roles this year were poorly received, and her acting was heavily criticized.
Chen Feng smiled and didn't refute her statent.
The two chatted intermittently, and before long, Chen Feng's car arrived at East Lake Garden. After dropping Zhang Jingwen at the gate, his car sped away.
While waiting for a red light at a junction, Chen Feng called Zhang Yuxi.
"Where are you? I'll co find you."
"I've moved to a new place, I'll send you the address and location later."
"Alright, send it over. I'll hang up now."
Not long after hanging up, Zhang Yuxi sent him the specific address and location.
About half an hour later, Chen Feng arrived at Zhang Yuxi's new residence.
It's a high-end neighborhood featuring mid-rise buildings. Although slightly farther from East Lake, it's within a comrcial area with two large shopping malls a few kiloters away.
Zhang Yuxi's new ho is on the seventh floor of an 11-story building, with impressive architecture reflecting a high-end look.
"I sold my old apartnt and made the down paynt for this place. This apartnt was really expensive; I hesitated at first but decided to bite the bullet and buy it. What attracted was the decoration style, which I liked very much. It's move-in ready, very convenient, and the apartnt was newly renovated last year, still quite new."
"Good choice. Although the price now is sowhat high, you definitely won't lose money. Plus, the location is nice."
"Yes, I purchased it for about sixty-two thousand, now it's risen to sixty-five thousand," Zhang Yuxi said happily.
Her apartnt spans 130 square ters, designed with three bedrooms and two living rooms, a rather large space.
After showing him around, Zhang Yuxi sat down with him on the sofa in the living room.
Zhang Yuxi promptly poured him so tea she had prepared earlier.
After taking a sip of tea, Chen Feng asked, "Are you planning to live here long-term?"
Zhang Yuxi nodded, "Of course, since I've signed with your company, my career focus is definitely in Xiu Zhou."
"Are you okay living alone in such a large apartnt?" Chen Feng expressed so concern.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuxi laughed, "This is a high-end neighborhood with strict security and 24-hour patrols. Living here is very safe, much more so than the old place. Besides, I have a personal assistant who's been with for three to four years, she's great at cooking and housekeeping.
Previously, she was accustod to living in Beijing and didn't want to move, but today she called and said she's willing to co over. She just needs to handle so personal matters in Beijing and should be here in two or three days. She will take care of my daily needs."
Chen Feng nodded, "That's exactly what I ant. Given that you're a celebrity now, you definitely need soone around to manage your daily life when you're busy."
With a bit of concern, Zhang Yuxi said, "At Star dia, Sister Hua manages my managerial affairs and lifestyle. She specifically assigned a lifestyle assistant, a work assistant, a makeup artist, a photographer, and a driver. Although I trust Fengmang Film and Television Company's capabilities, I feel that their managent aspect isn't as good as Sister Hua's."
Chen Feng chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Lu Sijia will personally oversee your managent affairs for now. She's very attentive to you. The managent team will definitely be ford around you, or you can find suitable people and report to the company for approval."
"For the lifestyle assistant, it's just like I ntioned earlier. The others need the company's help to choose. I'm mainly focusing on composing, recording, and releasing songs next. I don't need a photographer or makeup artist imdiately, but I do need a work assistant."
"Discuss this with Lu Sijia; she'll arrange it for you."
"Okay, I'll talk to her."
After finishing their business conversation, there was a brief silence, then Zhang Yuxi asked, "What is your relationship with Zhang Jingwen? Are you dating?"
Chen Feng almost spat out his tea, quickly denying, "No, it's just like the relationship between and you."
Though she speculated this, Zhang Yuxi still couldn't quite believe it, expressing her surprise, "Isn't it said that she's a rich second generation? Her father is a real estate developer."
Chen Feng smiled blandly, "What does being rich second generation matter? She wants to be extrely successful and beco a big star, so she ca to , willing to offer certain terms."
Zhang Yuxi smiled wryly, "This makes feel insecure. Originally, I thought joining Fengmang Film and Television Company would give an advantage over her, but with this kind of relationship with you, it seems she might have the upper hand."
"There's no need to worry about that. There's no need for either of you to dominate the other. You actually have completely different styles; she's spoilt and rebellious, while you're gentle and modest. There's a big difference in your types of roles. The company will also consider tailoring suitable scripts for both of you."
Of course, Zhang Yuxi didn't believe his words, but since the contract was signed, she didn't intend to breach it either. If necessary, she'd just compete with Zhang Jingwen to see who could win over Chen Feng more.
