Chen Feng didn't have any particular dislike for Song Xuezhu, but he didn't feel any special fondness either.
Thinking about how Song Xuezhu appeared so pure and cold on the silver screen, yet had a past fling with Fan Xin and had even been secretly fild by him, Chen Feng's impression of her naturally dropped significantly.
Indeed, how could there be truly untainted won in the entertainnt industry? If there are, they're probably pretending, and one could only imagine how promiscuous they might be in private.
"Brother Feng, Xuezhu used to take good care of , and we've always had a great relationship. She's one of my few good sisters in the industry. She had no other choice but to co to for help this ti. She was crying so sadly and she just wants you to et Fan Xin. Could you help her out by agreeing to et him?"
Zhang Yuxi, being pretty kind-hearted or perhaps genuinely close with her, softly pleaded with Chen Feng.
Chen Feng pondered for a while and finally agreed, "Alright, I'll et him. Let's say tomorrow at noon at twelve. Let's make the location at Willow Smoke and Flying Catkins over by East Lake."
Willow Smoke and Flying Catkins is a scenic spot near East Lake, known for the willow catkins drifting on the shore, and it's not far from Red Villa Bay.
"Thank you, Brother Feng," Zhang Yuxi said happily, "You've really helped a lot. After I finish filming, I'll bring Xuezhu to thank you in person."
"No need for that. I'm only helping her out because of you. If soone should thank , it should be you. How you want to thank , we can discuss when you co to see after filming."
Chen Feng said this in a serious manner, making Zhang Yuxi's face flush a bit. But she's not naive after all, so she laughed cheerfully and said, "Alright, I'll visit you after filming and definitely thank you properly. You've really helped Xuezhu a lot by agreeing to et with Fan Xin. She'll surely want to thank you too."
"What you said makes it sound ambiguous. How does she plan to thank ?" Chen Feng laughed and asked.
Zhang Yuxi clearly understood his aning and chuckled lightly, "Whatever you want, I'm sure she'd be willing. We can thank you together."
"Okay, just kidding. I'm not really interested in her type, so don't arrange anything hastily."
"I'll do as you say."
"Alright then, that's the plan. Keep up the good work filming. Focus on this opportunity; this series is essentially made just for you."
"Mm-hmm, I know. The director's already sent soone to call , so let's leave it here for now."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng put down his mobile, naturally continued undressing, taking off his shoes, then dipped his foot into the pool to test the water temperature, and then dove into the pool.
Not bad, the temperature wasn't too cold.
He could have installed a heated pool, but that would be too troubleso and a bit unsafe, not to ntion wasteful of electricity and not eco-friendly, so he didn't bother. When it's colder, people don't feel like swimming much anyway, so he didn't set up a heated pool.
He swam alone in the pool for almost half an hour before getting out, heading upstairs for a shower, changing clothes, and then going to the dojo for ditation.
His daily life was pretty much this regular.
In the evening, when Sun Xiaorui got off work and ca ho, Chen Feng told her about Tang Xinyi's dinner invitation and asked if she was interested in going along.
Sun Xiaorui hesitated for a mont but ultimately chose not to go along. Chen Feng didn't insist.
Chen Feng knew she definitely had so thoughts running through her mind, considering he and Tang Xinyi might have sothing going on, but in the end, she chose not to tag along as a possible third wheel. This made Chen Feng quite satisfied with her.
Of course, Chen Feng didn't believe anything would happen between him and Tang Xinyi.
The agreed ti was seven o'clock in the evening, at a private kitchen he hadn't been to before, which took about half an hour to drive to.
To be honest, driving that far made Chen Feng sowhat reluctant, but since he had already made the appointnt and hadn't insisted on choosing the venue, he just went along with it.
He arrived at the private kitchen around six fifty-eight, a courtyard with ancient-style decor.
Entering the main hall, Chen Feng spotted Tang Xinyi and Lu Sijia, obviously waiting for quite so ti.
"Boss, you're really punctual."
Lu Sijia glanced at the ti on her phone, exactly seven o'clock, and was sowhat impressed.
"Boss Chen, pleasure to see you again." Tang Xinyi cheerfully greeted him with a handshake.
Chen Feng shook hands with her briefly, released, and calmly said, "We just saw each other a few days ago, it's like we haven't t for ages."
"Hehe, yes." Tang Xinyi, with a low laughter threshold, held her mouth and giggled, "Let's head to the private room in the back first."
Tang Xinyi led the two through the halls and down the corridors to a private room.
Then she introduced the specialties of this private kitchen, mainly Huaiyang cuisine. The chef here had cooked for state banquets and had a bit of a reputation, cooking Huaiyang cuisine very authentically. She had been here several tis before.
After sitting in the private room and finishing ordering, the waiter left the room, Tang Xinyi smiled at Chen Feng, saying, "Boss Chen, I've got good news. I've convinced the other two shareholders in my company to jointly produce the TV series 'Flowers Bloom and Fall' with your Fengmang Film and Television Company. I'm confident we'll make a great show together."
Lu Sijia explained a little on the side, "Our previous agreent was for them to invest with 'Flowers Bloom and Fall' film rights and an additional 10 million yuan, and we contribute 50 million yuan, thus we get 60% of the shares, they get 40%."
This indeed is a significant concession. The novel 'Flowers Bloom and Fall' is very well-known, with a large fan base. If adapted, it would inherently co with popularity, saving a ton on promotional costs.
"Yes," Tang Xinyi nodded frankly, "Initially, I was firmly against this distribution plan, which almost stalled the cooperation project. Later, after careful consideration and weighing, I chose to accept this less favorable plan for us. The reason is simple: I'm very optimistic about Fengmang Film and Television's future, hoping our cooperation this ti can be a starting point for more collaborations moving forward."
Lu Sijia smiled and added, "That's also what we're hoping for. Our companies actually have several complentary aspects; if we work together, it's bound to be mutually beneficial."
"Yes, definitely a win-win."
The two won carried on with mutual complints and harmonious chat, creating a pleasant and congenial atmosphere.
Only when the ordered dishes were gradually brought to the table did they pause briefly and start eating.
