After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 1108 - 585: Alliance

Because Chen Feng kept refusing to drink, the atmosphere was awkward for a moment.

However, Wen Jing, being quite experienced, immediately smiled to ease the mood and said, "Since Brother Chen doesn’t drink, let’s leave it. Shanshan, we’ll just drink a little ourselves to celebrate your smooth entry into Brother Chen’s company."

Jiang Xiaoshan felt disappointed seeing her "drunkenness leading to romance" plan thwarted, but she didn’t show it outwardly and nodded, "Alright, let’s drink a little."

Saying this, she poured some more red wine into her glass. Then Wen Jing poured a glass, looked at Chen Feng with a hint of challenge, and said, "Brother, since you’re not drinking, how about some beverage?"

Chen Feng glanced at her and calmly said, "Sure, I’ll have a drink. What do you have?"

Wen Jing replied, "Only orange juice, is that okay?"

"Then orange juice it is." Chen Feng nodded naturally.

Wen Jing then stood up to fetch the orange juice.

Jiang Xiaoshan puckered her lips in secret but didn’t intentionally provoke Chen Feng any further.

Apart from trying to make him drink, Chen Feng found the meal quite satisfying overall.

Out of twelve dishes, at least ten suited Chen Feng’s taste.

As a result, Chen Feng had no qualms about eating three bowls of rice, and most of the dishes ended up in his stomach.

After the meal, Wen Jing brought out quite a few fruit snacks to the living room coffee table to entertain Chen Feng.

Chen Feng sat on the sofa and checked the time; it was just after seven in the evening, so he didn’t rush to leave immediately.

"Brother, when does the company plan to start shooting the next TV series?"

After the three sat down and chatted for a bit, Jiang Xiaoshan asked about this with concern.

"I’m not sure about the exact time; it depends on the company’s arrangements."

Chen Feng spoke the truth.

"What genre is the next TV series?" Jiang Xiaoshan pressed on.

Chen Feng looked at her, smiled, and asked, "Are you really thinking about getting a role?"

Jiang Xiaoshan replied flatteringly, "Yes, Brother, I am the trainee you personally selected in this company. If the next series starts shooting not too soon, in ten days or half a month, I believe my acting skills will improve somewhat and I’ll be fit for a small role."

Chen Feng couldn’t help but shake his head, "I really don’t see any acting talent in you. To think you’d become a competent actor in ten days or half a month is quite exaggerated."

"If you don’t believe me, I can’t help it. But starting tomorrow, I will begin honing my acting skills. Performing doesn’t seem very hard to me."

"It’s good to have confidence, but don’t be blindly confident and become arrogant."

"I’ll prove it with facts, just wait and see."

Jiang Xiaoshan’s peculiar confidence left Chen Feng speechless. He truly didn’t believe she’d become a competent actor in such a short time.

Following this, Jiang Xiaoshan didn’t discuss the topic further, and instead, Wen Jing started sharing stories of their part-time tour guide experiences with Chen Feng, speaking as if they were true.

Still, it might be possible given that they did earn money guiding tours, which pays decently.

Afterwards, they curiously inquired about Chen Feng, such as where he’s from, his previous job, and how he became successful.

Chen Feng shared what he could, eliciting admiration and awe from them.

Despite their somewhat exaggerated demeanor, it felt nice to be praised by two beautiful women.

Nonetheless, Chen Feng didn’t let himself be swayed by them.

So around eight-thirty, he decided to leave.

The two women couldn’t make him stay, seeing him to the elevator before returning to their rental with a tinge of loss.

"Seems like our charm isn’t enough."

Once the door closed, Jiang Xiaoshan spoke dejectedly.

Wen Jing couldn’t help but sigh, saying, "Maybe it’s because I was here. He doesn’t seem interested in me. Perhaps he thinks my part-time work isn’t clean. Next time, if the chance arises, you could be alone with him and maybe there’s hope."

Saying this left her feeling quite regretful.

She now regretted directly quoting a price to Chen Feng when she approached him, giving off the vibe of selling herself.

Since Chen Feng wasn’t naive, he surely understood immediately.

Thus, Chen Feng would definitely harbor a grudge against her, making it fundamentally difficult for him to accept her now.

As for how Chen Feng might view Jiang Xiaoshan differently despite her part-time work, it’s probably due to Jiang Xiaoshan’s student-like aura, appearing clean and pure, whereas she carried an air of worldly experience she was aware of.

After being in part-time jobs for many years and facing realities and challenges from society, it’s impossible to keep the same elegant and uncommon grace from school days.

"I don’t think so." At this moment, Jiang Xiaoshan suddenly seemed less confident and, fearing losing face, self-mockingly said, "You saw how he wasn’t particularly kind speaking to me tonight. There wasn’t much concern or care, let alone any interest. I guess he views me as selling myself too and isn’t interested."

Upon hearing this, Wen Jing quickly encouraged her, "You can’t collapse now! If you do, we’re finished. I’m counting on you to bring me along once you succeed. My happiness for the rest of my life depends on you."

Prompted by Wen Jing’s words, Jiang Xiaoshan reluctantly nodded, "Don’t worry. Although he doesn’t seem interested in me, I’ve joined his company now. I’ll surely seize this rare chance and become a star step by step. When that time comes, I’ll definitely bring you along."

"Great, I knew I didn’t misjudge you."

Wen Jing, moved, embraced her, displaying sisterly affection.

...

The next day, around ten in the morning, Chen Feng specifically went to Bibo Garden.

He had promised Liu Ying and Hong Xiaodan to visit them yesterday, but forgot, and due to Sun Yanhong’s issue, he postponed it by a day.

It wasn’t a pressing matter anyway, so being a day late wasn’t a big deal.

Liu Ying and Hong Xiaodan were understanding; yesterday at noon, Liu Ying sent a WeChat message asking him if he still planned to visit since her mom had prepared some nourishing food for him. Chen Feng, already having lunch with two ladies at home, promised to dine at Jiang Xiaoshan’s place in the evening and said he wouldn’t come.

As for Hong Xiaodan, she was more mindful and didn’t send any inquiry messages.

But he came today for the nourishing food and health benefits.

He first watched TV with Liu Ying in the living room, then listened to her baby’s heartbeats, chatting about parenting topics until it was lunchtime.

Feeling content after dining on stewed sea cucumber, two bowls of rice, and most of a platter of scrambled eggs with chives, Chen Feng felt satiated.

After the meal, they chatted on the sofa again, and Liu Ying wanted him to accompany her for a nap, but this time Chen Feng firmly refused and got up to say goodbye.
