Chapter 1396 724: Mixing Public and Private Affairs (2)

"All right, I'll let Uncle Zhao (Zhao Guoqing) and Hu Rui help with that."

Wu Mengting didn't insist on Chen Feng working.

"Okay, you all must be tired. Go upstairs, take a bath, and get some rest."

Chen Feng didn't want to discuss work matters with Wu Mengting anymore, so he urged her and Sun Xiao Rui to go upstairs to rest.

"Alright, we're going upstairs. You should rest early too."

After saying that, Wu Mengting straightforwardly went upstairs first. As Sun Xiao Rui was about to follow her up, she finally spoke to Chen Feng: "I'll make breakfast tomorrow. What would you like to eat?"

Chen Feng thought for a moment and said, "Noodles with sauce, make whatever you like."

The noodles with sauce Sun Xiao Rui made were quite delicious.

"Okay." After responding, Sun Xiao Rui quickly followed upstairs.

Chen Feng stayed downstairs for another half an hour before going up. At night, he naturally didn't have the energy to look for Sun Xiao Rui.

Besides, Sun Xiao Rui had worked all day and even worked overtime. Chen Feng didn't have the heart to bother her any further.

The next day, not long after Chen Feng got up, Sun Xiao Rui also woke up.

After Chen Feng finished his exercise and took a shower, he got to enjoy freshly cooked noodles with sauce. He noticed there were a lot of ingredients like mushrooms, wood ear fungus, five-spice tofu, pork, and cabbage. None of these were ready-made; they all had to be freshly prepared. That's when he realized that making noodles with sauce was actually quite troublesome.

Sun Xiao Rui was a bit stubborn and couldn't simplify the seasoning.

However, Chen Feng didn't say anything. He finished a large bowl of noodles with sauce, feeling very satisfied.

After breakfast, the two women went to work. Today, Chen Feng didn't just stay at home and laze around; instead, he felt tempted and went back to East Lake Garden.

Yesterday, Zhang Jingwen mentioned that she wasn't busy for the next few days and didn't want to go back to her parents' house, so she decided to stay here.

Chen Feng drove over with ease, carrying some seasoned snacks he bought along the way, and went upstairs.

He bought these snacks intending to have lunch at Zhang Jingwen's place, since Sun and Wu were staying at the company for lunch, and eating alone at home wasn't appealing to him.

Moreover, Zhang Jingwen didn't know how to cook, and in her place, there were only some rice, noodles, and eggs. She usually ordered takeout for meals.

Before coming, Chen Feng had already contacted Zhang Jingwen. She didn't have plans to go out and would mostly stay home binge-watching dramas or doing yoga.

Chen Feng's presence with her made her secretly happy.

The situation between her and Chen Feng had reached this stage, and she was slowly accepting him both physically and mentally.

Initially, she wanted to officially become his girlfriend, but Chen Feng ruthlessly rejected her.

After a period of cold war with Chen Feng, ultimately, due to the popularity of "Green Jade Case," she had no choice but to take the initiative to contact him and humble herself.

This somewhat resembled a sense of desperation, or it could be said that the sunk costs she had incurred before were too high. If she broke off with Chen Feng just like that, her losses would be enormous, and she was unwilling to give up. She could only continue to invest, hoping to recover her costs.

Additionally, with her competitor Zhang Yuxi skyrocketing to fame due to "Green Jade Case," she naturally wanted to make an effort to catch up. Therefore, tightly holding onto Chen Feng, a golden opportunity, was very necessary.

Seeing that Chen Feng even brought seasoned snacks this time, including her favorite pig's head and fried chicken legs, she suddenly felt a little flattered.

It's worth mentioning that Chen Feng hadn't given her anything before, and he was always so harsh with her that even when he bought her some snacks on the way, she felt somewhat touched.

When Chen Feng came over, he found her still wearing a tight yoga outfit, which pleased him greatly. Yesterday it was light gray, and today it was light purple, both very pleasing to the eyes.

Seeing the yoga mat still spread out on the living room floor, Chen Feng was even more satisfied and told her not to mind him, that she could continue her yoga practice.

Initially, Zhang Jingwen didn't think much and continued to play yoga music on her phone, doing yoga in the living room.

Her yoga skills were average, and some of the moves weren't very standard or precise, but Chen Feng, sitting on the sofa, was watching with great attention and appreciation.

Gradually, Zhang Jingwen felt Chen Feng's gaze becoming more and more intense, which finally made her realize that she couldn't continue with yoga, blushing as she quickly got up from the yoga mat.

"What's wrong?" Chen Feng immediately asked, "Not continuing?"

"I'm done." Zhang Jingwen shook her head, shyly saying, "I've done quite enough. I'll go change my clothes."

Yesterday, when she met Chen Feng, wearing a yoga outfit had some degree of deliberate seduction, but today she really just wanted to do yoga. Who knew Chen Feng liked it so much?

"No need to change." Chen Feng quickly got up to stop her, "It's just the two of us here. You look just fine wearing this."

Hearing Chen Feng say so, although she still felt shy, she managed to put up with it. After all, given their relationship now, there wasn't much need to be bashful.

"Okay then, I'll have a drink of water first. Do you want any?"

"Sure, pour me a glass of hot water."

"There's no hot water, is Evian okay?"

This woman probably doesn't do much housework. There wasn't even any boiling water where she stayed.

"All right then." Chen Feng agreed a bit helplessly.

Zhang Jingwen quickly came back with two bottles of water, handed one to Chen Feng, then sat not far beside him and drank from it.

"I heard from Sister E that many investors are interested in the company's new project. Has it been finalized?"

After drinking her water, Zhang Jingwen immediately asked Chen Feng.

"Star Media has been confirmed. As for the others, I'm not planning to get involved. Mengting will handle all the decisions."

"Can I invest in it under the name of my studio? I don't want much, just five million."

Chen Feng chuckled and looked at her, saying, "Your family is quite wealthy. Do you really need to invest personally to make money?"

Zhang Jingwen replied, "My family does have some money, but I personally don't have much. Five million is already all my savings."

"Forget it." Chen Feng shook his head, "I've already discussed it with Mengting that she will take full charge of this project. I can't go back on my word, nor can I blur the lines between public and private and let you as an insider invest in this project. If you really want to invest, you can ask her yourself."

When Zhang Jingwen saw Chen Feng refuse without hesitation, she felt a bit uncomfortable and said, "Didn't Jin Xinyan invest five million in 'Green Jade Case' last time? If she can, why can't I?"

"Oh, you even know about that?" Chen Feng asked, feigning curiosity.

Zhang Jingwen pouted, "What's there not to know? Jin Xinyan is often seen wandering around the company."

In fact, it was her agent, Wang Yuee, who had inquired and told her about it, and it was also Wang Yuee who suggested investing in the new drama. Of course, she herself was very willing, especially since Fengmang Film and Television Company's dramas had never lost money so far, and they had actually made a lot of profits.
