Chapter 1397 725: A Project Everyone Covets

The new drama project by Fengmang Film and Television Company has caught the eye of many, including Zhang Jingwen, the heir from a wealthy family.

Chen Feng felt indifferent about her comparing herself to Jin Xinyan.

In his heart, Jin Xinyan held much more weight than Zhang Jingwen. Jin Xinyan had willingly given him the most precious thing a woman could, and she never asked him for much; this made things very convenient for him. Moreover, she had become his personal assistant, and her relationship with Chen Feng was something Zhang Jingwen couldn't compare to.

Of course, while he thought this, he wouldn't say it out loud, considering he still desired her body.

"Last time, Xinyan invested in the 'Green Jade Case' mainly because few people believed in it then. She invested 5 million on my persuasion; otherwise, she might not have invested at all. Star Media invested a few million just to save face, but this time the total budget is 80 million, and they want to invest 40 million, which is obviously impossible. And, this time, I won't let Xinyan invest either. If you want to invest, I won't intervene for you; you'll have to talk to Mengting yourself."

Zhang Jingwen was originally full of resentment, but hearing that Jin Xinyan wasn't involved this time, she felt more balanced, though she wasn't about to give up easily. After all, this new project seemed like a win-win.

"Did you really entrust Wu Mengting with full responsibility for this project?" Zhang Jingwen asked skeptically.

"Of course I did. Why would I lie to you? I just talked to her about it last night."

Zhang Jingwen nodded thoughtfully: "Alright, then I'll meet her at the company later. I'll call Sister E first."

After speaking, she stood up, took her phone, and went to the balcony to make the call.

Watching her shapely figure, Chen Feng opened a bottle and drank a few gulps of water.

It had to be said, in terms of looks and figure, Zhang Jingwen was quite impressive.

After waiting for five or six minutes, Zhang Jingwen returned with her phone and said to Chen Feng: "I'll go take a shower first, then I'll head to the company. Are you staying here or..."

Chen Feng frowned, a bit annoyed, "Why are you going to the company? If it's to talk to Mengting about investments, you can let your agent handle it. There's no need for you to go personally."

Zhang Jingwen replied, "Besides that, I want to discuss my script with her. Didn't you say she already wrote the outline? I want to understand it better."

Chen Feng, with a slightly somber face, replied, "The new drama was just initiated these days; as a founder and producer, she has a lot to deal with, working late into the night. Last night she came back after nine. Wouldn't you be bothering her and possibly making her unhappy by going there now?"

Zhang Jingwen hesitated upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Chen Feng further persuaded, "It's inappropriate for you to personally negotiate investment in this project with Mengting. If she agrees, she might not be happy about it; if she doesn't, won't it be embarrassing for you? It's best to let your agent talk to her during lunch break."

"You're right." Zhang Jingwen agreed, nodding immediately, "I'll call Sister E now."

With that, Zhang Jingwen took her phone to the balcony to make a call again.

This time she returned after two minutes and sat next to Chen Feng, moved closer to him, and playfully said, "Boss, could you maybe speak for me? 5 million isn't a lot, and last time you helped Jin Xinyan, so this time it should be my turn. She's your woman, and so am I, right?"

Indeed, her words almost made Chen Feng feel disoriented.

But Chen Feng was not one to mix personal and private matters; his strong will wouldn't be swayed by a few sweet words and a bit of coquettishness.

He firmly shook his head, "I've already explained everything clearly; why are you still pestering me? Just let Wu Yue'e talk to Mengting."

"What if Sister E can't negotiate it?" Zhang Jingwen said, leaning slightly toward Chen Feng, her fragrant shoulder now resting against his arm, and her scent intensified with proximity.

Although Chen Feng was enjoying it, he remained unmoved, "Let her try first. I just told Mengting last night not to interfere, and to change my mind now doesn't seem right. Besides, if I help you, Mengting might doubt our relationship, and in case she holds a grudge and doesn't tailor the TV drama for you, what then?"

Zhang Jingwen hadn't considered this angle, leaving her momentarily stunned.

Seeing this, Chen Feng continued, "Don't lose sight of the bigger picture for small gains. Investing 5 million might not guarantee profits. Even if it does, you'd earn only a few million at best. However, starring in a tailored drama from her could significantly raise your fame, and endorsing deals could fetch millions. A few deals would mean several million, and your pay would increase accordingly."

These words instantly lit up her eyes.

Truth be told, she wasn't very concerned about money, especially just a few million. Having grown up in luxury, her annual allowance before entering the entertainment industry was already a few million, with family covering major expenses.

Her main concern was becoming famous, a star like Yang Ziyin.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Jingwen said, "Alright, I'll call Sister E again."

Chen Feng watched her head to the balcony for another call, speechless.

This time, she returned after five or six minutes, seemingly having convinced Wu Yue'e. She walked over smiling and sat down, wrapping her arms around his neck, tilting her body to look at him.

"Sister E also thinks you made a valid point. She's not insisting on investing in this project anymore, though she'll give it a shot at noon. Thanks for your advice."

"If you really want to thank me, agree to what I asked you yesterday." Chen Feng replied with a smile.

Zhang Jingwen was momentarily taken aback, then blushed, scolding him teasingly: "I won't do that. You have so many women. Ask one of them."

"Alright, alright, if you don't want to, we won't do it. Let's do what you prefer instead."

As he spoke, Chen Feng placed a hand around her back.

After having lunch with Zhang Jingwen, Chen Feng left.

Her family had called, saying she needed to return in the afternoon due to some situation. After lunch with Chen Feng, she had to leave.
