Chapter 251: A Weary Liu Ying_2
"No need." Liu Ying also stood up, smiling at Chen Feng, "I came over this time mainly out of curiosity about what the No. 8 Villa looks like inside, Chen Feng, show me around."
Chen Feng didn't feel like taking her around and told Wu Mengting, "Mengting, you take her around and give her an introduction. I'll go take a nap first."
Liu Ying was a bit taken aback, but Wu Mengting nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, bro."
Chen Feng turned to Liu Ying and said, "You go with Mengting to look around," and then went upstairs on his own.
After all, Chen Feng didn't have any special care for Liu Ying, or rather he wasn't particularly interested in her. In his heart, her status was even less than Lin Yujiao and Guo Mengyao, let alone Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting.
Seeing Chen Feng leave so decisively, Liu Ying couldn't help feeling a sense of frustration.
She thought that after introducing Chen Feng to her parents, their boyfriend-girlfriend relationship would be almost confirmed, if not already. At the very least, it should have progressed further, but Chen Feng still didn't care about her, which indeed made her a bit weary.
She had never pursued a guy before, and this was the first time with Chen Feng. She didn't know how to truly capture Chen Feng's heart; physical attraction seemed ineffective, and now she was trying hard with words and actions, but judging from the current results, they seemed to have no effect on Chen Feng.
Before, she had tried confessing, being emotional, and praising him, but they seemed to have been in vain.
"Come on, let's take you to see the courtyard first, especially the backyard area where there's a small garden and a swing."
Wu Mengting, looking hospitable, led Liu Ying to see the yard with a smile.
Liu Ying could only muster some spirit and shift her thoughts as she followed the Sun and Wu girls to tour the villa.
Meanwhile, Chen Feng went to the exercise room on the second floor and began meditating, which also counted as a nap. He could now sit for more than an hour without feeling tired; at most, his legs would be a little numb, but a bit of rubbing would be fine.
After practicing meditation for a while, including when he was traveling abroad, he also diligently practiced in the evenings, and it seemed to finally show some effects; he felt his mind was clearer than before.
Of course, this might also be due to his continuous absorption of Bone energy during this period.
However, Chen Feng's intuition told him that the clearer mind and quicker thinking should be the result of long-term meditation.
Thus, after returning to China, unless there are special circumstances, the afternoon is his time for meditation, browsing his phone, and napping.
He still wants to maintain this habit because it relates to his health.
About an hour later, there was suddenly a knock on the door, waking Chen Feng from his meditation.
He could now reach a state of vague meditation, feeling like he was forgetting both himself and everything, as if his body had disappeared, which felt comfortable. That's why he kept doing it.
While Chen Feng was "resting" in the exercise room, he had previously instructed the Sun and Wu girls not to disturb him unless there was an urgent matter.
The room's door was locked, and his phone was set to silent mode.
Now he heard the knock, so it must be something urgent.
Thus, Chen Feng opened his eyes and shouted outside, "What's the matter?"
Sure enough, Wu Mengting answered from outside, "Brother Tao has come over, and so has Hong Xiaodan."
Chen Feng was taken aback when he heard these two had come together. Earlier, he had thought of throwing this clingy Hong Xiaodan at Tao Yaoyang, but unexpectedly, they came together today. Could they have already hooked up? That would really save trouble.
"Okay, I'll come down right away."
After speaking, Chen Feng stood up, bent his knees slightly to rub his somewhat numb legs, and then grabbed his phone to go downstairs.
In the living room downstairs, Tao Yaoyang and Hong Xiaodan were indeed there, along with a female companion Tao Yaoyang brought, who looked familiar, seemingly a minor celebrity, but Chen Feng couldn't remember her name.
"Brother Tao, sorry about that. I was napping upstairs and had my phone on silent, so I didn't see your calls."
Just as he was coming downstairs, Chen Feng checked his phone and saw that Tao Yaoyang had called him twice.
"No problem." Tao Yaoyang waved his hand gracefully, "I guessed you were napping, but I came by anyway. Mainly, since you've been away traveling for so long, we haven't met up. So knowing you're back, I wanted to come by first thing and catch up with you. Don't let our treasured sponsor forget about me."
"How could that be?" Chen Feng immediately pretended to be angry and retorted, "Of all the people, I'd never forget Brother Tao."
"Haha, that's good." Tao Yaoyang said happily, "I heard from Sister Hua not long ago that you're considering investing in the film industry. Coincidentally, I have a film project going on, which is from the company I invested in, Star Media. It's based on a famous internet novel. The novel is quite popular online, and just acquiring the adaptation rights for the drama cost the company ten million. Plus, the production budget is fifty million, totaling sixty million in all. To spread some of the risk, the company is opening two million in investment shares to outsiders. If you're interested, I can introduce you."
After a bit of thinking, Chen Feng shook his head and said, "Actually, I'm planning to buy a film company and finance a TV drama myself, so I'll pass on investing in other projects.'
"You're really planning to buy a film company?" Tao Yaoyang said with some surprise, "I heard Sister Hua mention it before, but I thought you were just a bit interested. To be blunt, do you know how deep the water is in the entertainment industry? If I hadn't had strong connections from the start, I wouldn't have dared to step in."
Chen Feng smiled nonchalantly and said, "I'm just curious, so I want to give it a try. If I lose money, then so be it."
"Alright! You're bold!" Tao Yaoyang showed admiration and said, "Do you have any acquisition targets in mind? If not, I can help ask around for you."
"I already have three candidates, and we're currently doing background checks on them. If there aren't any issues, I'll choose one to acquire."
"Good. After you buy a company, if you need any help, feel free to ask me. Though I might not have much power in the entertainment circle, I do know some people."
Chen Feng didn't hold back and nodded directly, saying, "Thank you. If I need help, I'll definitely reach out to you."
After discussing business, Tao Yaoyang invited Chen Feng, "I've already booked a spot at Wenhua Inn. Come along for a meal and chat. Everyone will be there, so it'll be lively."
Tao Yaoyang's generous invitation and him coming directly to invite meant declining wouldn't be good.
But Chen Feng glanced at his women here, feeling a bit speechless. Including Hong Xiaodan, there were 4 of them, which seemed to be quite a lot.
