Of course, Chen Feng wasn't truly uninterested in Tang Xinyi.
After all, Tang Xinyi is a genuine beauty, especially with the added star power from playing Consort Qi back in the day. Even now, at thirty-three or thirty-four, many people still think about her.
But in business, as Lu Sijia reminded him, the other party giving up so benefits voluntarily isn't out of charity but to gain sothing from him.
So, if he, as a man, were to have dinner with her alone, it might blur the lines between business and personal matters. Chen Feng also feared making the common mistake every man could make.
Therefore, it was necessary to bring Lu Sijia along.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng felt relatively good. After all, Tang Xinyi is a big beauty and a celebrity, lowering her stature to invite him to dinner and offering benefits to their company. There's no reason for any normal man not to be pleased.
However, despite the happiness, he needed to remain cautious.
Last ti, he almost got tricked by Yang Wenqi. He was nearly seduced by her beauty, but fortunately, nothing really happened in the end. Otherwise, it would've been troubleso.
A cunning woman like Yang Wenqi, and so beautiful, if Chen Feng got involved with her, it would be impossible to easily shake her off.
The situation with Tang Xinyi was sowhat similar. Even though she's about ten years older than Yang Wenqi, her allure hadn't diminished, and she seed to be even more open-minded.
So, caution was still necessary.
In a good mood, Chen Feng rarely stepped out of the house and strolled in the yard.
It was already approaching late June, getting hotter. The pool in the villa's yard had been cleared out, and as per previous plans, an electric sunshade was installed over the pool, which could be controlled to be open or covered. Additionally, a small pavilion was built by the poolside, where one could sit for coolness during sumr or enjoy tea and watch the rain when it poured.
With the power of money, these were small projects and were all completed in a few days, costing less than half a million.
Thus, the environnt of No. 8 Villa was greatly enhanced, looking more exquisite. For Chen Feng, staying ho ant there would be more places to relax.
At around two in the afternoon, the outside temperature was about twenty-five or twenty-six degrees, bathed in sunlight. Chen Feng tested the pool water with his hand, finding it not too chilly, so there was no problem if he wanted to swim.
Chen Feng decided to take off his clothes for a swim, but as soon as he took off his T-shirt, his phone rang.
Seeing it was from Tao Yaoyang, Chen Feng felt inclined to ignore it. However, considering this guy hadn't treated him poorly in the past, it seed impolite not to answer.
In the end, Chen Feng answered the call.
"Chen Feng, are you free tonight? How about we get together? I got a bottle of Moutai from my granddad, produced in the fifties, which is hard to find on the market. How about it? Interested in having a drink with ?"
A bottle of Moutai from the fifties, this guy truly was generous. Even though Chen Feng had so reservations about him, he couldn't deny his magnanimity. If he had such a fine wine, he'd hesitate to bring it out.
But Chen Feng declined his offer: "Sorry, I already have plans tonight. Maybe next ti."
"Oh, really? Who are you eting? Do I know them?" Tao Yaoyang asked, feigning curiosity.
He certainly knew Tang Xinyi, but Chen Feng didn't want to deepen their relationship, simply saying, "It's a friend of mine, you probably don't know them."
Tao Yaoyang laughed, "Your friends are my friends. How about I join you and you introduce us?"
Chen Feng firmly refused, "Maybe next ti. This ti I have so personal matters to discuss, not suitable for others to be present."
"Ah, I see. That's really a pity. Next ti, if there's a chance, you must introduce them to . You know I love making friends. Especially your friends, I'm very interested in eting them."
"Alright. Let's talk next ti. I'm getting another call right now. If you're free, we'll chat another ti."
"Okay, let's chat next ti."
Tao Yaoyang put down the phone a bit disappointed, with a serious look on his face.
He was, of course, aware of the recent trouble with Fan Yigang and knew it was primarily the result of Chen Feng leveraging his connections.
This further verified his earlier suspicion about Chen Feng's extensive background.
To topple soone like Fan Yigang, and so quickly at that, the influence behind Chen Feng was unimaginable. It was a connection he had always wanted to establish.
Unfortunately, he previously had no route to make such connections, and neither did his father.
Now that he had this pathway, Tao Yaoyang naturally wanted to make the most of it.
Of course, he couldn't make it too obvious, rushing things.
Chen Feng wasn't lying. Soone else indeed called him; he hung up on Tao Yaoyang's call and answered a call from Zhang Yuxi.
Zhang Yuxi, being the lead actress in "Green Jade Case," was currently filming in Hengdian.
Although their relationship was very close, she rarely called Chen Feng. They didn't keep in touch very often.
So, seeing it was her calling, Chen Feng answered imdiately.
"Yuxi? Do you need sothing from ?"
"It's . There's a friend of mine who wants to get your phone number. She says it's urgent. Should I give it to her?"
Chen Feng frowned slightly and asked, "Do you know why she's looking for ?"
Zhang Yuxi, sowhat helpless, replied, "I asked her, but she wouldn't say, only that it's sothing urgent. She even said she's trying to contact you because she owes soone a big favor."
Chen Feng hesitated slightly and then said, "Alright. Give her my number and let her contact if she needs to."
"Okay, Brother Feng. Thank you."
"That's it then. Focus on your filming and don't get involved in other things."
"Yes, I will make sure to do my best."
After the call ended, within two minutes, another call from an unknown number ca through, and Chen Feng answered it directly.
"Boss Chen, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm a friend of Yuxi. I apologize for this unexpected call, but I'm..."
"Alright," Chen Feng cut her off, "Just tell what you need. I don't like listening to nonsense."
"Okay," she said, sowhat helplessly, "I owe Fan Xin a favor, and he sohow found out that I'm good friends with Yuxi. He wanted to reach out to you through Yuxi, saying he wants to et you."
'Fan Xin actually wants to et ?'
Chen Feng was a bit surprised but quickly considered the possibility.
"My relationship with him isn't good. What does he want to et for?" Chen Feng directly asked.
