Chapter 1371 - 712: Old Ties Rekindled
Lin Yujiao’s speed of making money surprised Chen Feng, but that’s all there was to it.After the initial surprise, a fortune of a few million, Chen Feng naturally wouldn’t pay it any mind.
Ever since having heavenly luck, Chen Feng really hasn’t cared much about money. If he truly focused on making money, he could earn it easily.
For instance, buying lottery tickets or playing the stock market; making money is really simple for him.
But he doesn’t choose to do it.
Mostly because flaunting wealth attracts attention, coupled with his low-profile and cautious nature, and also a healthy view of money; he hasn’t become a slave to money, but rather used it as his servant to truly serve him.
His mentality now is quite good; money should suffice to spend, and the main hope is for his cancer to miraculously heal.
That’s something money can’t buy.
After the three finished lunch, they sat down on the sofa, watching TV while chatting about houses, mainly with Jin Xinyan and Lin Yujiao discussing.
Jin Xinyan is a native of Xiu Zhou, so she certainly understands local houses and prices more than an outsider like Lin Yujiao, hence she gave Lin Yujiao some insights.
Lin Yujiao had a dedicated real estate app on her phone, and the two discussed while looking at the property’s information on the app.
If they fancied a house, they would hand the phone to Chen Feng, asking for his opinion.
Thus the three watched and chatted; mainly Chen Feng and Jin Xinyan advising while Lin Yujiao watched with keen interest.
Until nearly half-past one in the afternoon, Jin Xinyan declared she felt sleepy and wanted to go upstairs to sleep, Lin Yujiao blushingly put away her phone, getting pulled upstairs by Jin Xinyan.
Chen Feng chuckled, naturally following them upstairs.
Around three-thirty in the afternoon, Chen Feng finished his shower and left the Lakefront Villa. Upon returning to No. 8 Villa, he immediately went to the kitchen to fetch the sea cucumbers, placing them in the rice cooker to brew. His cooking skills are somewhat decent, since it’s just plain brewing, with a touch of millet, ginger, and salt.
After doing this, he went upstairs to the training room to absorb the energy from paintings and calligraphy, finally sitting down to meditate and cultivate calmness.
Previously, he’d expended quite a bit; it’s time for self-cultivation and physical replenishment to take place.
Once Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui returned from work, Chen Feng came down from upstairs.
After sharing two bowls of rice with the two women, he then went to the kitchen to consume the brewed sea cucumbers, eating over ten in one go, the taste was somewhat decent.
Additionally, eating sea cucumbers is mainly for nutrition, taste comes second.
However, both women had odd expressions seeing him eat sea cucumbers.
Wu Mengting wasn’t particularly happy, while Sun Xiaorui was rather shy, clearly thinking about the warm scene the two shared last night.
Nevertheless, neither of them voiced any opinions.
After Chen Feng finished eating the sea cucumbers, the two women cleaned up the dishes, then Wu Mengting took the initiative to wash them.
Chen Feng and Sun Xiaorui sat in the living room watching TV and chatting idly.
As usual, Sun Xiaorui spoke to Chen Feng about some things that happened at the company today, then casually said, "Today, a celebrity specifically came to visit Mengting at the company, and Mengting met him."
Chen Feng immediately felt curious and asked, "Oh, is there something special about this celebrity? Why did he specifically come to visit Mengting?"
Chen Feng knows Wu Mengting’s character; unless it’s about business, she generally wouldn’t take the initiative to meet stars, including refusing to meet them if they came to visit, unless it’s a genuine big-name star.
As for celebrities, Wu Mengting should be even more disdainful about meeting them.
"This person is her junior from East Sea University, still in school now, in his junior year. He’s extremely handsome, so he became a top celebrity within a year of debut, with over ten million followers on Weibo."
"Oh, what’s his name?"
"Tang Jierui. You can search him on your phone; he’s indeed quite handsome, and I’ve heard he’s humble and polite, studying diligently."
So, Chen Feng casually picked up his phone and searched.
He looked at Tang Jierui; indeed, he is very handsome. Watching videos of him singing and dancing, he’s not too different from other male celebrities, adept at showing off and being cool.
"He is indeed handsome." Chen Feng nodded in approval, then asked, "Why did he come to find Mengting?"
"Mainly to build connections, and also to seek roles. Mengting has agreed to arrange a small role for him in the next drama."
"I see." Chen Feng nodded, not saying much. Wu Mengting, being the senior and the screenwriter and producer for the next drama, arranging a small role for her junior is well within her rights.
This matter ended like that; Chen Feng certainly didn’t take it too seriously.
Sun Xiaorui didn’t intentionally guide, attempting to make Chen Feng misunderstand Wu Mengting.
Firstly, if she did that, she might be suspected by Chen Feng; even if successful in creating conflicts between Chen Feng and Wu Mengting, she would also bring trouble to herself.
Secondly, she currently doesn’t want to exert too much effort for the "Mistress Alliance."
In fact, internally, she is quite conflicted now, both hoping for conflicts between Wu Mengting and Chen Feng and worrying about them truly breaking up. If that happens, she might attract an assault from Guo Mengyao and others around Chen Feng.
At that point, she might not be able to resist alone.
Therefore, she could only naturally mention it, rather than delve deeper into strategizing and guiding.
Once Wu Mengting finished washing dishes and came over, Chen Feng eagerly asked her about Tang Jierui, inquiring what role she planned to give him.
Wu Mengting naturally responded, "A role of a wealthy young man, regarded as one of the female lead’s admirers, with about three to four episodes of scenes. I know he’s not from our company, but after all, he’s my school junior; since he personally sought help, I couldn’t refuse to give him some face."
"I’m not blaming you for this; I’m just curious. Do you think highly of this junior?"
Wu Mengting shook her head, "No. I already tested his acting skills face-to-face today; it’s quite average. Besides, his singing and dancing are also pretty ordinary. Frankly, aside from being handsome and a student of East Sea University, he has nothing noteworthy."
"That is somewhat regrettable. This person not only is handsome but also a student from a prestigious university; if one skill in singing, dancing, or acting was exceptional, he could be transformed into a talented celebrity."
"It is a bit regrettable. However, he’s still young, and having debuted midway; his contracted company urgently trained him for a month or two before debuting him. There is still a certain malleability and potential. But who knows how he will develop in the future?"
Sun Xiaorui interjected, "I don’t really expect much from him. He’s handsome indeed, with the prestigious student background, which is quite likable. But he lacks artist skills; his singing and dancing are mediocre, and so is his acting. So, his potential for future development is quite limited. With the rapid turnover of celebrity stars, many become a fleeting presence, only burning bright for a short while before disappearing. He might resemble those fleeting stars."
