Chapter 285 Beauty Yang Seeks Help
[Boss, are you available now? I have something to discuss with you.]
Seeing this message, Chen Feng was somewhat surprised but quickly replied.
[Go ahead, what's up?]
After all, she's currently a new signing under his company, with great potential, possibly becoming the company's future cash cow. As the boss, Chen Feng needed to show some concern for her.
Soon, the indication showed input, and after about two minutes, a paragraph came through.
[Here's the situation. Do you remember the person who was bothering me at Lai Man Cafe last time? I often drink coffee there, and this person started harassing me. At first, he was polite and very composed, so I reluctantly added him as a WeChat friend. After that, he would frequently try to ask me out.
He even troubled me at the cafe once, and I had no choice but to go out for a meal with him. As a result, he apparently misunderstood, becoming increasingly persistent and bothersome in harassing me. You saw it last time; luckily, you helped intervene. Today, after work, I went to Lai Man for coffee again, and he came after me. I ended up calling the police to scare him off. But I know this isn't a long-term solution, he'll likely continue to bother me. I'm not sure what to do.]
Upon seeing this issue, Chen Feng realized as the boss, he couldn't ignore it. He had high hopes for Yang Wenqi; she had exceptional looks and demeanor with star potential. The company would strive to cultivate her into a star and a financial asset.
Therefore, her being harassed couldn't be ignored by the company.
[Send me his information, and I'll help you deal with it]
As the boss, Chen Feng was obliged to help resolve this matter promptly for her.
[Thank you, boss, really thank you. I'll send you some information I have on him shortly, but I don't know much.]
[No problem, as long as you have his name or a photo of him]
[Okay]
Shortly after, Yang Wenqi sent over the person's basic information. His name was Qi Junyu, along with a selfie. He claimed to work at a multinational financial company's branch in Tiancheng International Building, with an annual salary exceeding one million.
[Got it. Don't worry about this kind of person. In the next couple of days, try not to go out. You don't have to come to the company for now. I'll handle this for you.]
Chen Feng wasn't just making empty promises here; he had the resources to have people willing to solve these small disturbances.
Of course, he wouldn't do anything illegal, but within legal and permissible boundaries, dealing with one or two not-so-dangerous individuals was no problem.
[Thank you, boss. Without you, I wouldn't know who to turn to for help.]
[No need for thanks. You're my signed artist, I'm your boss, and naturally, I'll protect you. Rest assured, I'll resolve this quickly.]
[Mm-hmm, I'll work even harder in the future to become a qualified actor to earn money for the company and for you, boss.]
Yang Wenqi's words pleased Chen Feng. He was willing to help mainly because of her potential to make big money for the company and him in the future.
[Also for your own earnings, I'm rooting for you, keep it up]
[Mm-hmm, I will definitely work hard]
The conversation ended there; Chen Feng didn't say anything more to her but instead composed a text message and sent it to Qin Zhen.
On her side, seeing Chen Feng didn't send more messages, Yang Wenqi also held back from sending him any more.
Time passed quietly throughout the night. Around ten o'clock the next morning, Chen Feng received a call from Qin Zhen.
"The person you're looking into isn't named Qi Junyu. Either you've got it wrong, or the other party is deliberately concealing it."
The moment the call connected, Qin Zhen went straight to the point.
"Then what's this person's real name? Do they have any criminal record?"
"Real name is Qi Xiaohuan, from Liao State, high school educated, previously jailed for over two years due to involvement in pyramid schemes."
"Then there's definitely an issue. He claims to have studied abroad, works at a multinational company's branch as an investment manager with a salary exceeding a million annually in Tiancheng International Building."
"Oh, then he must be pulling off fraud now. We could actually dig deeper into this."
"Mm, dig deeper; maybe we can uncover a scam operation."
"Based on current information, this guy has significant issues. This might turn into a ready-made case. I'll follow up and investigate."
"One way or another, this person isn't clean. Arresting him is a sure bet. When the case is cracked, remember to treat me to a meal."
"Damn, dude, asking me for a favor, yet now I owe you a favor?"
"When did I ask you for a favor? I'm providing a lead on a suspect, it's a rewarded report, understand?"
"Alright, alright, I admit defeat. If he is a con artist, I will treat you to barbecue once we nab him."
"That's more like it. A five-hundred standard meal then."
"Seriously, I gotta hand it to you. You've got money, yet still manage to scrape from me, a broke person? I'm paying monthly for mortgage, auto loans, can't spare some thought for me?"
"Precisely because I empathize with you, I didn't suggest going to Fuman Building for a meal."
"…Fine, pretend I never said anything."
With that, Qin Zhen directly hung up, and Chen Feng didn't seem bothered, instead continuing to relax on his reclining chair reading novels.
During lunch, Sun and Wu both returned, and at the table, Sun Xiaorui suddenly brought up Xin Yuqing's matter.
"Brother Feng, Yuqing says she wants to become a company artist. Do you think she's suitable?"
Previously, Xin Yuqing requested Yang Wenqi to ask Hu Rui for a recommendation to become an artist, but Yang Wenqi didn't respond promptly, realizing she might be stalling, fearing resource competition.
This left Xin Yuqing feeling frustrated yet helpless. Ultimately, she courageously approached Sun Xiaorui regarding the matter.
Turns out, Sun Xiaorui didn't get angry but instead offered to convey the request to ask Chen Feng's opinion.
"She wants to be an artist?" Chen Feng was initially surprised but soon understood, nodded, saying, "When we first knew her, she seemed interested in modeling, only to get scammed. Given her looks, becoming a female artist wouldn't be too far-fetched, though she'll need more than good looks to act and entertain. Let her try it out first; if it doesn't work, she can go back to being an assistant. Discuss it with her, no issues from my end."
Xin Yuqing was essentially their first employee besides themselves, not to mention her impressive looks, though slightly less than Yang Wenqi, still outstanding.
"She's quite tall and maintains a good figure. Consider starting as a photo model." Wu Mengting suggested.
Sun Xiaorui remarked, "Since we're a film company, I'd prefer developing her into an actress. Acting has better prospects than modeling."
Chen Feng suggested, "Talk to Hu Rui about this and assess Yuqing's overall abilities before positioning her."
"Alright, I'll go talk to Hu Rui when we return to the company this afternoon."
Thus, the matter was decided.
