Chapter 290: Love at First Sight_2
Therefore, Jin Xinyan being a bit out of control is actually normal.
Chen Feng, as the person involved, somewhat enjoyed her compliments, but he didn't think that Jin Xinyan had fallen for him at first sight, because if that were true, it would be too strange for him.
He wasn't extraordinarily handsome, nor was he a well-known super-rich person. How could a local beauty like Jin Xinyan fall for him at first sight?
But the fact was just so strange. Yang Wenqi had already given her a detailed background introduction in advance. Although she didn't exaggerate about Chen Feng, she described him entirely according to her ideal type of boyfriend.
As a result, after meeting him and taking a few glances, Jin Xinyan determined in her heart that Chen Feng was her dream-come-true ideal man, thus falling "in love at first sight."
Moreover, these days, her family was busy introducing her to potential partners, and this just happened to come up.
Chen Feng didn't know any of this. After enjoying the compliments from this beauty, he naturally changed the topic and invited everyone to eat.
Jin Xinyan was not shy, picking up her chopsticks to join everyone in eating and poured herself a glass of orange juice.
After eating for a while, Jin Xinyan initiated a topic again: "Mr. Chen, what do you think of me?"
Everyone was taken aback, looking at her with surprised expressions, thinking that this woman was too straightforward.
"Haha, sorry, you misunderstood." Jin Xinyan explained with a smile, "I meant to ask, do you think I can be an entertainer, like Wenqi, and sign with your company? Actually, I'm quite interested in acting. In high school, I even wanted to apply to the Beijing Film Academy. Later, my family opposed it, so I went to Xiu State University instead."
The three of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Feng politely said, "Your appearance and temperament are quite good. If you really plan to be an actor, your external conditions are sufficient. But to sign with my company, you would have to undergo a specific assessment. If you are interested, you can come to my company for an interview."
Upon hearing this, Jin Xinyan playfully glanced at Chen Feng and said softly, "You're the boss, can't you just give me a backdoor and sign me directly?"
Chen Feng naturally said, "Although I'm the boss, I don't really manage the specific affairs in the company. Besides, I don't understand you very well right now, nor do I know if you have the potential to be an entertainer. If I rashly sign you, it wouldn't be responsible to the company or to you."
What Chen Feng said was reasonable, which satisfied Jin Xinyan. The man she liked was not one who would blindly obey women, but should have his own opinions.
Chen Feng undoubtedly met this point.
"Alright. Then I'll come to your company for an interview another day. Maybe I'll get selected. Then I can debut with Wenqi."
Wu Mengting suddenly said, "Although our company is a newly established company, the requirements for signing artists are still relatively high. It's not enough just to be good-looking. You also need to have corresponding acting talents. Have you had any relevant acting experience before?"
Jin Xinyan quickly said, "I had literary training as a child, including dancing, singing, poetry reciting, and skits. In college, I also joined the drama club and performed in no less than ten stage plays."
Chen Feng nodded and said, "From what you said, you do have some acting background. If your family no longer opposes it, you could come to my company for an interview."
Jin Xinyan confidently said, "Now that I'm truly an adult, I can decide my own affairs. My family won't oppose anymore. I'll adjust myself in the next few days and then go to your company for an interview."
Yang Wenqi couldn't help but ask, "Xinyan, are you serious?"
Jin Xinyan wrapped her arm around her shoulder, affectionately saying, "Of course I'm serious. We're good sisters, right? Don't you want me to accompany you and work hard together?"
Yang Wenqi had no words to say, but felt a deep regret in her heart, like she had brought a wolf into the house.
Wu Mengting squinted slightly, giving Jin Xinyan a glance, and couldn't help but smile a little. For women with impure motives like this, no matter how many come to the company, she will handle them all.
"Come on! Everyone eat, the seafood here is quite good, the ingredients are rather fresh."
Chen Feng again invited everyone to eat.
The four of them ate and drank for more than half an hour, and the ten or so dishes they ordered were almost finished. When Yang Wenqi asked if they should order a few more dishes, Chen Feng refused.
Overall, the meal was still quite pleasant to enjoy, after all, he was in the company of three beauties, but the two women opposite him were really not that familiar to him. Especially the just-acquainted Jin Xinyan.
But Jin Xinyan was particularly enthusiastic about him, always finding things to talk with him about, and her eyes were full of admiration and worship.
At first, Chen Feng quite enjoyed it, but then he started to feel something was off. Either Jin Xinyan was acting, which clearly seemed overdone, or she indeed fell for him at first sight, which clearly seemed overdone as well.
In any case, Jin Xinyan was going overboard, so it was better to wrap up this meal early.
The four didn't leave immediately. Chen Feng excused himself to go to the restroom, intending to go downstairs to pay the bill.
As a result, Yang Wenqi also followed him down. Seeing Chen Feng heading towards the front desk, she rushed over and said to the cashier first, "How much is the bill for the Haige on the second floor? I'm paying."
The cashier checked and reported the amount truthfully: "Nine hundred and eighty."
Upon hearing this number, Yang Wenqi felt both heartache and a big relief. She could still afford this amount, but for the next few days, she'd definitely have to live on instant noodles.
Just as she was about to pick up her phone to scan and pay, the cashier's counter suddenly rang with a "WeChat payment of nine hundred and eighty yuan" notification.
Yang Wenqi looked at Chen Feng in surprise, seeing him just put away his phone, smiling at her, saying, "I appreciate your gesture, but I'm a boss, still a man, while you are my subordinate and a woman. I definitely can't let you pay for the meal."
Yang Wenqi felt a mix of sweetness and bitterness in her heart. She hadn't felt this kind of protection from a guy for a long time.
Hence, she didn't insist further, just looking at Chen Feng with a face full of gratitude and saying, "Then once I get my salary next time, I'll invite you to my place for dinner, I'll personally cook, okay? You must let me express my gratitude to you somehow, right?"
Chen Feng casually waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it next time."
As they spoke, Wu Mengting and Jin Xinyan also came down from upstairs. Yang Wenqi couldn't say anything further.
The four of them left the seafood house together and stood by the roadside.
"Mr. Chen, I'm very happy to have met you tonight. We haven't even shaken hands yet, so let's officially shake hands now."
Jin Xinyan took the initiative to shake hands with Chen Feng. As a grown man, Chen Feng had no reason to be embarrassed, so he extended his hand and shook hers.
However, when he wanted to withdraw his hand, he found it was being tightly held by her.
