After dinner, Chen Feng found an excuse to et a friend and drove off in Wu ngting’s car.
He wasn’t lying; he did indeed have a eting tonight with Zhang Yuxi, whom he hadn’t seen for so ti.
Today, Fengmang Film and Television Company hosted a bidding event for "Green Jade Case," and Zhang Yuxi, as the lead actress, attended the event.
"Green Jade Case," a TV series favored by many television stations, was finally acquired by Blue Star TV for the exclusive rights to the first round of airing, at 1.3 million per episode, totaling 35 episodes and selling for 45.55 million, effectively recovering its cost.
Furthermore, there’s still the potential to sell the online streaming rights and second-round airing rights, as well as other derivative revenues, making it not difficult to exceed hundreds of millions.
So, from the current outlook, the "Green Jade Case" project has been quite successful. No wonder Wu ngting was in such a good mood when she ca back today.
This ti, the two didn’t et at her hotel stay but instead, Chen Feng drove to her hotel entrance and waited. After sending a WeChat ssage saying he had arrived, less than ten minutes later, Zhang Yuxi erged from the hotel wearing a mask and hat.
Because it was nightti and Zhang Yuxi’s fa wasn’t particularly high—having been declining over the past two years—there were no paparazzi specifically tailing her.
Zhang Yuxi opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, and Chen Feng promptly started the car.
"Why did you suddenly want to choose a place today?" Chen Feng asked with a smile.
Zhang Yuxi took off her mask, smiled back, and said with a little breathlessness, "Staying at the hotel feels uncomfortable; I want to find a quiet place to stay for a few days, so I’m asking for your help."
Chen Feng asked, "Don’t you have an apartnt here in Xiu Zhou?"
Earlier, when Chen Feng had rendezvous with her, they had been to her apartnt in Xiu Zhou.
"I rented that apartnt out. It’s not good to keep it vacant, plus the community is sowhat rundown and the population is complex. Last ti I almost got recognized there."
"That’s true." Chen Feng nodded, then asked, "Besides that apartnt here, do you have any other places?"
Despite their nurous intimate exchanges, they actually weren’t very familiar with each other’s private lives.
"I’m from Chu State. I beca famous singing and first bought that old apartnt in Xiu Zhou here. Later, I developed my career in Beijing and made a down paynt for an apartnt there, and I still have to pay the mortgage monthly. The prices there are exorbitant. I haven’t earned much over these past few years, and the main profits went to the company, plus I need to support my family. How could I have spare money to buy another apartnt in Xiu Zhou? But, I do like Xiu Zhou a lot. When I have more money, I would consider buying a nicer place here."
It was the first ti Chen Feng learned she was from Chu State—he hadn’t looked into these details before.
"After ’Green Jade Case’ airs, your popularity will surely climb significantly. At that point, with more endorsents, you’ll likely have enough for property here."
"Thanks for your kind words."
"Do you have any acting offers recently?"
"No, not at the mont. Filming ’Green Jade Case’ was exhausting, so I want to take a breather and focus on composing so songs. The company also plans to wait until ’Green Jade Case’ airs and my value increases before seeking acting offers."
"That’s a good approach. It’s wise to wait for the series to air."
...
The two chatted casually like old friends, on various topics. There was a mutual understanding not to inquire deeply into personal matters such as family or past relationships.
While driving, Chen Feng chatted with her, and they soon reached East Lake Garden.
After parking in the underground garage, they took the elevator directly to the 11th floor, opened the door, and went inside with Zhang Yuxi.
This place seed to have beco a designated venue for Chen Feng to bring various won for rendezvous.
Turning on the light, Chen Feng went to the liquor cabinet, poured a glass of champagne for each of them, and handed one to Zhang Yuxi.
"Thanks."
Zhang Yuxi, holding the drink, took in the apartnt, feeling a subtle sense of envy.
The double-story duplex apartnt owned by Chen Feng was quite impressive. Despite being several years old, her old apartnt couldn’t compare—it felt like a doghouse in comparison.
Even her small villa in Beijing wasn’t larger than this one.
Furthermore, she knew Chen Feng also had two apartnts in Red Villa Bay, including No. 8 Villa, which was once owned by Tao Yaoyang.
He likely had other properties, not to ntion Fengmang Film and Television Company, a rising star company in the entertainnt industry.
It could only be said that Chen Feng was truly wealthy and deserved his rising status as a new powerhouse in the entertainnt circle.
"This apartnt is really nice, it’s yours, right? Is it okay if I stay here for a few days?"
Zhang Yuxi asked with a well-behaved and curious look.
Chen Feng nodded and said, "Yes, it’s mine. You’re welco to stay as long as you like. I don’t usually live here."
"That’s fantastic," Zhang Yuxi said happily, "I really like the apartnt, especially the balcony with the floor-to-ceiling windows, offering a great view and a quiet environnt."
"Then stay for a few days. For als, you can cook yourself or have your assistant co over."
"I’ll cook myself. Can I use the kitchen here, though?"
"Certainly, you can. The fridge has so drinks and frozen food, and the gas stove and cookware are available."
"Alright. I’ll have my assistant buy groceries and deliver them tomorrow, and you can give a spare key later."
"Sure."
"Thanks, let’s drink to that."
They clinked glasses, exchanged smiles, and slowly finished their champagne.
Then, both unstated yet intuitively moved to the sofa area, placing their glasses on the coffee table, naturally embracing one another.
"Have you showered?" Chen Feng asked, catching the pleasant scent of bath soap as his nose approached her clean neck.
With a soft acknowledgnt, Zhang Yuxi’s delicate hand slid under his shirt hem...
More than an hour later, they both leaned against the oval-shaped massage bathtub, facing each other.
"Your apartnt’s decor is truly impressive; how much did you spend on its renovation?"
Zhang Yuxi curiously asked.
"I’m not sure," Chen Feng answered honestly, "It was already decorated when I bought it; the renovation must’ve cost quite a bit."
"How much did this apartnt cost you, then?"
"Five million."
"What? Five million? Such a large apartnt, in such a pri location, with such great decor, only five million?"
Zhang Yuxi’s face was full of astonishnt.
Chen Feng didn’t hide his slight pride and said, "Managed to find a good deal, I suppose. Fan Xin insisted on selling it to , and I couldn’t refuse."
Fan Xin was a person known in the film industry, once had his sights set on Zhang Yuxi, so she was familiar with him.
