Early the next morning, Chen Feng went out for a run. After finishing, he contacted Liu Ying.
He hadn't been in touch with Liu Ying for a few days, and Liu Ying was quite firm this ti, not proactively contacting Chen Feng.
The call went through, and Liu Ying answered shortly afterward.
"I'll take you out for dinner tonight with Qin Zhen and his girlfriend. You know Qin Zhen, right? My high school classmate and university mate. We used to hang out a lot in college. He joined the military in junior year and now he's retired and working as a policeman."
Liu Ying was montarily stunned before reacting with delight, saying, "Great, sounds good. Of course I rember Qin Zhen. Back at school, he was always with you, tall and handso, quite comparable to you. Can't believe he's a policeman now."
In fact, Liu Ying's impression of Qin Zhen was quite vague. After all, she had completely misjudged even Chen Feng, her classmate at the ti, missing out on such a gem, let alone Qin Zhen, whom she'd only seen a few tis.
However, she obviously knew that Chen Feng and Qin Zhen had a good relationship.
Now Chen Feng was taking her to et Qin Zhen and his girlfriend, she couldn't help but overthink, feeling that Chen Feng was implicitly acknowledging her as his girlfriend.
This naturally made her very happy. She thought she was having a "cold war" with Chen Feng, and now he was compromising.
"Also, I'm going to tell you about Qin Zhen's girlfriend, Pei Lei."
Chen Feng went on to explain Pei Lei's depression to Liu Ying, clearly expressing hopes that she could befriend her, taking her out for shopping and such now and then.
He also ntioned Qin Zhen's plan to propose or even marry Pei Lei.
The purpose was to make her pay attention. Qin Zhen was his good buddy, and whatever help his future wife might need, he, as a friend, certainly had to offer.
Liu Ying, hearing this reason, of course did not refuse. Instead, she happily agreed, stating that when she was abroad, she had a good friend with depression and knew how to interact with people with such conditions.
This was naturally great. Chen Feng was quite satisfied, asking her to return to Red Villa Bay after work, so they could go together to the gathering.
Liu Ying happily agreed.
The afternoon ca quickly, and after Sun Xiaorui returned from work, Liu Ying had already ssaged him, saying she was back.
Thus, Chen Feng told Sun Xiaorui and left to pick up Liu Ying by car.
This ti, they weren't dining at Qin Zhen's house, as both were working today and they had invited Chen Feng for als twice already, so this ti, Chen Feng was treating them.
The location was chosen at Fuman Building. Chen Feng was not short on money, and Qin Zhen was also not shy, bringing Pei Lei after work.
All four had been to Fuman Building before and were quite satisfied with the food here. After gathering, Chen Feng first formally introduced Liu Ying to them, and then each of the four ordered dishes.
After the waiter left, Liu Ying actively began chatting with Pei Lei. As expected, being older, she quickly found common topics with Pei Lei, and soon the two were whispering to each other, appearing very close.
Chen Feng vaguely overheard their conversation on topics of n and parenting, which Pei Lei seed very interested in, quickly attracted by Liu Ying.
This surprised both Chen Feng and Qin Zhen a lot, admiring Liu Ying's social skills internally.
The al lasted about an hour, and by the ti they were leaving, Liu Ying and Pei Lei were walking arm in arm, looking as if they had beco inseparable best friends.
This was really beyond Chen Feng's expectations.
Previously, he thought that with Liu Ying's personality type, Pei Lei might not necessarily get along well with her. In comparison, it seed Sun Xiaorui and Jin Xinyan would beco good friends with her sooner.
But now it turned out Liu Ying had overtaken them, building a better relationship with Pei Lei than the others did.
On the way back, Liu Ying drove, and Chen Feng asked her what she talked about with Pei Lei, causing her to accept Liu Ying so quickly.
Liu Ying replied with a laugh, "I could tell Pei Lei really cares about Qin Zhen, or rather that she's wholeheartedly in love with him. From my understanding of people with depression, many of them are devoted and sincere, which can translate to being sowhat intense or stubborn. For soone like her, once she's decided on soone and fallen in love, she'll be wholeheartedly devoted, even living sowhat humbly because they make the other person the spiritual and life crutch, fearing to lose them. They lack inner security.
Moreover, since they're soon getting engaged or married, and Qin Zhen is nearing thirty, Pei Lei definitely wants to have a baby as soon as possible. This can provide further security and help anchor Qin Zhen.
Consequently, when I steered the conversation to topics like how to hold a man's heart, and other issues about n, she naturally beca interested. Having been divorced and being older than she is, my relevant experiences and lessons are surely worth her reference and learning. Then I went deeper into discussing marriage, having children, and parenting, which naturally intrigued her even more."
This was indeed perceptive!
Chen Feng had to concede. Judging from this situation, Chen Feng had sowhat underestimated this class beauty before.
At least her analysis was spot on. If she were to do jobs like sales, public relations, or anything involving dealing with people, she would surely excel. And now, being Fengmang Film and Television Company's financial manager, seed sowhat underutilizing her expertise.
But there's no hurry. Fengmang Film and Television Is running quite well anyway.
"Hmm, your analysis is quite precise. You should get along well with her from now on. Qin Zhen is my best friend, so if you beco good friends with his future wife, I'll definitely treat you well."
Liu Ying laughed, saying, "Pei Lei is quite nice, gentle in personality. Even without your relationship with Qin Zhen, I'd still want to be friends with her. Rest assured, I'll keep in touch with her often."
Chen Feng nodded and said no more.
After driving back to Red Villa Bay, Liu Ying drove directly to the EO6 villa where she lived.
After parking, Liu Ying turned to Chen Feng, casting him a sidelong glance with a sultry look, "I've been so obedient. Will you reward by staying with tonight?"
What else could Chen Feng say? He chuckled, patted her thigh, then opened the car door and stepped out, heading towards the villa's entrance.
Liu Ying pursed her lips into a light smile, quickly following after getting out of the car briskly.
A couple of days later, Liu Ying indeed smoothly beca good friends with Pei Lei. Not only did Liu Ying visit Pei Lei and Qin Zhen's ho, but Liu Ying also brought Pei Lei to the Red Villa Bay villa she lived in.
In comparison, Sun Xiaorui and Jin Xinyan also kept in touch with Pei Lei, but clearly not as intimately as Liu Ying did.
Pei Lei evidently was considerate of Liu Ying's feelings and did not arrange etings to include Sun Xiaorui and Jin Xinyan.
