After sitting in the office for quite a while, Zhang Jingwen finally cald herself.
At this mont, the WeChat notification sounded again.
She picked up her phone and checked it. As expected, it was still from Chen Feng.
[Why aren't you replying?] Sent ten minutes ago.
[Haven't you co over yet?] Sent five minutes ago.
[??] Sent just now.
Zhang Jingwen frowned as she looked at it for a while, then typed a reply: [I just got to the studio. My phone was on silent. I probably won't be able to co over to your place today. Sister E told about the signing with Fengmang at ho, and my family is calling back right away to discuss it. They've never supported my decision to beco a star in the entertainnt industry, so I'm bound to be interrogated when I get back.]
Seeing her reply, Chen Feng was naturally displeased.
He had hurried to East Lake Garden, waiting for her to co and solve the issue, but this was the result. Wasn't it a fruitless expectation?
[What about tonight? Can you co?]
Chen Feng typed back sowhat angrily.
[Probably not. I haven't been ho for a while, and now that I'm back, I'm definitely expected to stay the night. My mom won't let go.]
[Can't you find an excuse to co back to East Lake Garden to stay?]
[The apartnt at East Lake Garden, I only occasionally stay there, mainly for peace and quiet. Most of the ti, I live at the other residence.]
Although Chen Feng was dissatisfied, hearing her explanation, he could only suppress his displeasure and continue to ask: [Then you'll have ti tomorrow, right?]
[Yeah, I'll contact you tomorrow.]
[Alright. I'll wait for your ssage tomorrow. I hope you won't find another excuse to avoid .]
Of course, Chen Feng wasn't stupid. Even though Zhang Jingwen's excuse was well-grounded this ti, he could still sense that she might be deliberately avoiding him.
Seeing Chen Feng's ssage, Zhang Jingwen frowned but still replied: [I won't. I'll contact you tomorrow.]
Chen Feng took a look and didn't contact her again.
At this mont, his whole body was still a bit hot and uncomfortable.
In the past couple of days, Sun Xiaorui was feeling unwell, making him feel even more uncomfortable. Just yesterday, he had Zhang Jingwen help relieve it a little, but it wasn't substantial. This inevitably made him feel uneasy.
Thinking about it, Chen Feng sent a ssage to Jin Xinyan, asking where she was.
Jin Xinyan quickly replied that she was at the newly renovated store.
Chen Feng imdiately told her to wait for him as he was coming over.
Leaving East Lake Garden, Chen Feng drove to the storefront.
This store was at the street-facing location of the neighborhood Wu ngting and Lin Wan used to rent in, over sixty square ters. For a clothing store, such a size wasn't small.
When Chen Feng arrived, Jin Xinyan was the only one in the renovated store, with the door closed and the air conditioning on.
The store's door was fitted with a floor-to-ceiling glass display window where a few clothing mannequins could be placed to attract the attention of passersby.
Chen Feng pushed the door and entered, seeing Jin Xinyan sitting on a stool and scrolling through her phone. Upon seeing him, she quickly stood up, smiled, and pointed around the store, saying, "How is it? Take a look. Not long ago, I did the inspection. If you think there's no problem, I'll make the final paynt to the renovation company."
Chen Feng looked around and didn't notice anything wrong, and nodded, saying, "Since you've inspected, then there should be no problem."
This was undoubtedly a display of trust from Chen Feng to her. Jin Xinyan was very happy and, smiling, said, "I've checked every step. To ensure everything was in order, I even researched online and consulted people in the renovation industry. The renovation company didn't cut corners. The key stages t the standards."
"Then there's even less of an issue." Chen Feng said with a smile, "It seems your work ability is quite good. Eager to learn and seeks out knowledge, you have a spirit of truth-seeking. Making you my assistant was indeed a good choice."
In fact, there are no strict standards for store renovations like this, costing just a few tens of thousands. As long as it looks decent on the surface, it's fine. Chen Feng wasn't highly concerned.
"Of course." Jin Xinyan said, feigning arrogance, "I hadn't been anyone's personal assistant before, but I'm not a naive girl unfamiliar with the world. If I don't understand, I ask and learn, just like when I put effort into learning to be a producer, and I gained a lot."
Chen Feng then asked, "Do you still want to be a producer?"
"Of course I do. I've said before that producing TV shows and being a producer is what interests most now. But through training and seminars, I learned more, and I understand better the difficulties in being a producer. So, I think it's best to first diligently work as your assistant, and anwhile, grab every opportunity to participate in the company's film and TV production projects. Like ngting, I've heard she started as your personal assistant, didn't she?"
Jin Xinyan looked at Chen Feng with a bright smile.
Her words clearly indicated her desire to follow the successful path that Wu ngting had taken.
Now, Wu ngting had beco the CFO and producer from originally being Chen Feng's personal assistant, becoming a model of success for others to follow.
However, in Chen Feng's view, Jin Xinyan clearly lacked the ability to replicate Wu ngting's "success."
Compared to Wu ngting, her biggest shortcoming was that her personal strength was considerably inferior, starting with script creation. Wu ngting originally ca from a successful background as an online writer and had worked as an editor, holding a solid foundation in writing and script crafting.
Her literary and film critique levels were at least a big leap ahead of Jin Xinyan's.
And as a producer, the most important thing is to choose a good script. If the script is lacking, regardless of how much investnt you secure or how outstanding the actors are, the resulting work won't be a good product.
