After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Chapter 289: Even More Powerful_2



"It's good that you understand. In any case, Lu Sijia is a talented person, and our company cannot do without her at the moment. So, don't hold any grudges against her with Little Rui. Once you're familiar with the company's operations and understand the ins and outs of film production, I can completely hand over the company to you to manage."

Wu Mengting nodded sensibly and replied with a soft "Mm."

At this point, Chen Feng naturally switched the topic to Yang Wenqi. He mentioned the incident with the scammer bothering her, her seeking his help as her boss, and inviting him to dinner tonight.

Wu Mengting tensed up upon hearing this, showing a wary expression. She had seen Yang Wenqi in person and thought highly of her talent, with first-class looks and presence. She believed that if the company invested in her, she had the potential to become very popular.

However, she didn't expect that Yang Wenqi seemed to be trying to cozy up to Chen Feng, which made her feel uneasy.

"Are you really going to the appointment alone tonight, just the two of you?" Wu Mengting asked in a somewhat stiff tone.

Chen Feng replied with a smile, "Isn't that allowed?"

"Of course not," Wu Mengting said firmly. "You're the company boss and a man, while she's your artist and a woman under your management. It's hard not to cause misunderstandings when a man and a woman meet alone."

Chen Feng nodded with a smile, "If you put it that way, it is a bit inappropriate. Why don't you come with me?"

Wu Mengting frowned and said, "You can politely refuse; there's no need to accept her invitation. After all, you're the boss, and she's your contracted artist. Helping her with this matter is part of your job."

"I told her the same thing, but she's adamant. She said that without my help, she might have faced danger, and it's like a life-saving favor. If she doesn't buy me dinner, her conscience won't be at peace. If I refuse, it would mean I look down on her and disrespect her."

Upon hearing this, Wu Mengting frowned even more. Earlier, it was just speculation, but now, with a woman's intuition, she could almost confirm that Yang Wenqi indeed had some intentions toward Chen Feng.

Ah! Women these days! Always trying to latch onto someone successful, hoping to get rich overnight and rise above the rest.

Wu Mengting couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Alright then, I'll accompany you later."

Despite being busy all day and not wanting to go out, Wu Mengting had no choice but to go along with the situation.

Chen Feng nodded naturally in agreement, "Sure. Let's go together."

In truth, he brought this matter up because he wanted Wu Mengting to come along. Otherwise, if he went to dinner with Yang Wenqi alone, it would surely cause misunderstandings, and it might also be awkward during the meeting. It was better to bring Wu Mengting along.

Furthermore, as the boss, he certainly couldn't "eat the grass by the edge of the nest." Yang Wenqi was the future money tree he planned to cultivate, and he couldn't ruin her early on. His principles wouldn't allow him to do such a thing.

After Sun Xiaorui finished washing the dishes and came over, Wu Mengting briefed her about Yang Wenqi. On the surface, Sun Xiaorui seemed unbothered, but inside, she felt a bit irritated.

Just after dealing with Hong Xiaodan, now there was an even more formidable one.

She had also seen Yang Wenqi, who had looks, presence, and a figure that were top-notch, on par with a beauty like Wu Mengting and even surpassing her in youth and vitality.

She felt that it was incredibly challenging to keep Chen Feng by her side for long. Because the world was never short of women younger and more beautiful than her.

Especially now with Chen Feng being so well-off, these young and beautiful women were flocking toward him like moths to flame.

Fortunately, she currently had Wu Mengting as an ally, handling things that she couldn't say or do.

It was the same this time. She didn't have the authority to question Chen Feng about having a one-on-one dinner with Yang Wenqi, let alone stop it, but Wu Mengting could.

The three of them watched TV and chatted, and time passed quickly.

Around 7:30, Wu Mengting proactively reminded Chen Feng that it was time to head to the appointment.

So, they both returned to their rooms to change outfits and tidy up a bit before setting off.

Chen Feng drove, and it took about ten minutes to reach the place.

After parking the car and a bit of WeChat communication, they entered a seafood restaurant, went to one of the private rooms, and met Yang Wenqi.

"Wenqi, I came along too, is that alright?"

Wu Mengting entered the room before Chen Feng, greeting a slightly surprised Yang Wenqi with a bright smile.

"Of course, you're welcome," Yang Wenqi quickly recovered, placing a natural smile on her face. "You're both my leaders, and it's an honor to have you here for a meal."

She paused for a moment and quickly added, "Actually, I had also invited a friend tonight, but she had some urgent matter to attend to, and I don't know when she can come."

"Oh, I see. That explains it," Wu Mengting chuckled, her eyes narrowing slightly. "I just happened to hear from my brother that you invited him to dinner, and I thought it might be inappropriate for just the two of you to have a meal alone. So I decided to join in. After all, you're a promising newcomer in our company, and we can't have any unfavorable rumors before your fame rises."

"Thank you, leaders, for your support and for looking out for me. I'll be more careful in the future. Please, take a seat," Yang Wenqi thanked them while gesturing for them to sit.

Chen Feng was the first to sit down, then amiably said to Yang Wenqi, "Since we're meeting in private, there's no need for 'leader' titles. Just call me Brother Feng."

"Okay, Brother Feng," Yang Wenqi agreed easily and cheerfully.

Wu Mengting shot a meaningful glance at Yang Wenqi, who still had a smile on her face, before sitting down beside Chen Feng.

"Brother Feng, Sister Ting, you can start ordering the dishes. I'll check with my friend to see if she's coming,"

With that, she called a waiter to bring the menu to Chen Feng and Wu Mengting, and she temporarily stepped out of the private room to contact her friend.

In just a few minutes, Yang Wenqi returned to the private room with a smile.

"We've finished ordering. Is there anything you'd like to add?" Wu Mengting handed over the menu to Yang Wenqi with a smile.

"Sure, I'll add a few dishes,"

Yang Wenqi added a couple of vegetarian dishes.

The dishes quickly began arriving at the table within minutes. Yang Wenqi winced a bit when she saw the spicy Treasure Fish on the table; it was one of the most expensive items on the menu, priced at 188 yuan a plate.

There was also a steamed mandarin fish dish priced at 98 yuan. Just these two dishes alone were nearly 300 yuan, which already hinted at going over her budget. Her total available budget for tonight was just 500 yuan, and she had less than a thousand yuan left in her account with nearly a week to go before payday.
