After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 944 - 503: The Road to Success (Part 2)

The screenplay is the essence of a production, the fundamental base for the entire film and television project. The quality of the screenplay largely determines the quality of the film or TV series.

Wu Mengting directly grasped the essence of the screenplay from the start; "Green Jade Case" is a script she personally wrote. It is also her first time serving as a producer. Now, this TV drama has been completed with high quality. The buyers who've seen parts of the preview are quite fond of it, attracting several television stations into a bidding competition.

Fengmang Film and Television Company decided that in a few days, they would officially hold a bidding meeting, inviting purchasing managers from various television stations and network video platforms to attend and formally bid for "Green Jade Case", with the highest bidder winning.

Thus, it can be foreseen that the "Green Jade Case" project led by Wu Mengting is a major success.

On the other hand, Jin Xinyan wants to replicate Wu Mengting's success, but first, it's hard for her to acquire a good screenplay, leaving her unable to compete with Wu Mengting at the source of production.

In other areas, such as financial management, Chen Feng feels that Jin Xinyan also falls short compared to Wu Mengting.

A producer who can't manage the crew's finances well is certainly not a good producer.

Of course, while Chen Feng thinks this way, he won't say it out loud. Instead, he encourages her, saying, "It's great that you have this idea, keep striving. If conditions are right, I'll let you get involved in more of the company's film and television projects in the future, helping you gradually get proficient."

"Thank you. Having your support, as the big boss, is the only way I can realize my dream of being a producer."

Jin Xinyan said this, then came over to hug Chen Feng and kissed him on the cheek.

Chen Feng smiled, gently wrapping his arms around her waist, slightly bowing his head to look at her porcelain skin, and said, "It's a bit stuffy in this shop. It's not good to stay long. Let's head to the East Lake Villa."

Jin Xinyan glanced at Chen Feng with a smile, bowed her head, and softly responded with a "Hmm".

So, Chen Feng took her hand, led her to his car, and soon they arrived at the villa gate, just over a hundred meters away.

Over an hour later, the two took a shower together and sat in wicker chairs on the second-floor balcony, enjoying the breeze.

It was past four in the afternoon, cloudy, sitting on the balcony without the sun, the cool breeze blowing comfortably.

After gazing at the lakeside scenery of East Lake for a while and chatting idly, Jin Xinyan suddenly asked, "Now that the store is decorated, what business are you planning to do? You won't be opening a shop yourself, right?"

After thinking for a moment, Chen Feng decided to be frank: "A friend of mine plans to open a clothing store. I happen to have this space available, so I plan to rent it to her."

Jin Xinyan wasn't naive, she asked, "Friend? A woman?"

Chen Feng nodded honestly: "Yes, a friend from my hometown. A woman who, like me, has been divorced. We were once introduced as potential partners."

"Just friends?" Jin Xinyan continued to ask.

Chen Feng continued answering sincerely: "You know I've been divorced too, and we shared a sense of empathy. Naturally, we developed some affection for each other, providing mutual comfort in difficult times. This is human nature, as we were both people disappointed by divorce at the time. But it never developed further into a romantic relationship, let alone marriage."

Hearing Chen Feng's explanation, Jin Xinyan felt somewhat uncomfortable inside, but she had no choice. Such an outstanding man as Chen Feng couldn't possibly have few women around him.

The only consolation was that Chen Feng specifically explained everything to her, without deliberately concealing the details, emphasizing that the woman was merely a friend with whom he sought comfort.

After a moment of silence, Jin Xinyan pretended to be calm and said, "When does she plan to open the shop? I'll send her a flower basket."

"She's coming tomorrow or the day after. She used to live in Lu City, where she owned a successful clothing store and made some money. That's why she decided to open a branch here in Xiu Zhou."

"Oh, that's impressive." Jin Xinyan said with little sincerity, then added, "When she comes, you should introduce me to her. I greatly admire such independent women who start their own business, it's worth learning from."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Alright! I'll introduce you when she comes."

Jin Xinyan suddenly asked, "Since she's from your hometown, does Mengting know her?"

After giving her a brief look, Chen Feng said, "Yes, they know each other fairly well. Mengting also knows the nature of my relationship with her."

Jin Xinyan listened and fell silent for a long time. In terms of magnanimity, she felt inferior to Wu Mengting.

When she first met Chen Feng, she wasn't deeply invested emotionally, and she didn't feel much about Chen Feng having other women, nor did she object. But after Chen Feng saved her father abroad and made her an investor and producer for "Green Jade Case", she unknowingly fell completely in love with Chen Feng and noticed her inability to be as free-spirited as before.

The presence of other women around Chen Feng instinctively made her feel rejection, discontent, and even some hostility.

Especially with Wu Mengting, whom Chen Feng cares about. She knew this early on, and it's true she'd come later.

While on the set, though she showed respect for Wu Mengting as the general producer, she couldn't help but feel a tinge of hostility towards Wu Mengting when thinking of Chen Feng.

Later, when Chen Feng didn't reply to her messages or contact her frequently, she felt somewhat emotionally shattered.

Luckily, after openly talking to Chen Feng last time, she forced herself to adjust her mindset, at least on the surface, regaining her previous nonchalance, avoiding dwelling on or caring about the other women around Chen Feng.

Now hearing Chen Feng say that Wu Mengting knows of the other women around him, including Jin Xinyan, and still remains calm, is genuinely admirable.

In her heart, she asked herself if she were in Wu Mengting's place, she definitely couldn't turn a blind eye, let alone cohabitate with Chen Feng's lovers.

Maybe, it's Wu Mengting's outstanding personality, and also the reason why Chen Feng cares most about her.

Then again, maybe Wu Mengting doesn't actually love Chen Feng, and that's why she doesn't care about Chen Feng having other women.

Thinking of this, Jin Xinyan suddenly felt Wu Mengting wasn't so great after all. But proving this is obviously not easy.

Chen Feng didn't care about Jin Xinyan's whimsical thoughts; just then, his mother sent him a voice message asking if he wanted some local seafood snacks that his sister-in-law and brother had just given to their family.

Chen Feng replied: He didn't need any, as he had plenty.

Then, his mother asked him to take care of his "niece", Li Xiaoyuan, who is Li Guihong's niece and currently working at Fengmang

Of course, Chen Feng agreed.

After a bit more talking, his mother finally ended the call.

After being interrupted by his mother, and since it was also nearing dinner time, Chen Feng decided he didn't want to stay there anymore. He stood up and said, "Time's about right, let's go."

Jin Xinyan snapped back to reality and stood up as well.

Since it was still summer, they both dressed lightly and soon wore their clothes and left the villa.

Getting into the car, Chen Feng asked, "By the way, do you have the key I gave you last time?"

Without much thought, Jin Xinyan nodded and said, "Yes, it's with me. The shop and villa keys are both in my bag."

"Alright, hand them over. When my friend arrives, these keys will need to be given to her," Chen Feng stated honestly.

After a moment of stiffness, Jin Xinyan asked, "Is she going to live in this villa? Temporarily or long-term?"

"Long-term, I guess. We're quite close, and this villa remains empty most of the time, so I'm renting it to her. Besides, it's close to the shop." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Jin Xinyan silently took a deep breath, retrieved the two keys from her bag, and handed them to Chen Feng.

Accepting them, Chen Feng placed the keys into the glove box.

Starting the car, Chen Feng first dropped Jin Xinyan off at the store where her car was parked.

After letting her out, Chen Feng drove home to Red Villa Bay, just in time to dine with Sun and Wu and also tell them about Lin Yujiao's plan to open a store there.

Watching Chen Feng's car drive away, Jin Xinyan stood there looking somber for a long time, turning to face the store she had been responsible for decorating, feeling an urge to smash it to pieces.
