After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 989 - 526: Entertainment Industry Big Shot

Chapter 989: Chapter 526: Entertainment Industry Big Shot

After dinner, Chen Feng found an excuse to meet a friend and drove off in Wu Mengting’s car.

He wasn’t lying; he did indeed have a meeting tonight with Zhang Yuxi, whom he hadn’t seen for some time.

Today, Fengmang Film and Television Company hosted a bidding event for "Green Jade Case," and Zhang Yuxi, as the lead actress, attended the event.

"Green Jade Case," a TV series favored by many television stations, was finally acquired by Blue Star TV for the exclusive rights to the first round of airing, at 1.3 million per episode, totaling 35 episodes and selling for 45.55 million, effectively recovering its cost.

Furthermore, there’s still the potential to sell the online streaming rights and second-round airing rights, as well as other derivative revenues, making it not difficult to exceed hundreds of millions.

So, from the current outlook, the "Green Jade Case" project has been quite successful. No wonder Wu Mengting was in such a good mood when she came back today.

This time, the two didn’t meet at her hotel stay but instead, Chen Feng drove to her hotel entrance and waited. After sending a WeChat message saying he had arrived, less than ten minutes later, Zhang Yuxi emerged from the hotel wearing a mask and hat.

Because it was nighttime and Zhang Yuxi’s fame wasn’t particularly high—having been declining over the past two years—there were no paparazzi specifically tailing her.

Zhang Yuxi opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, and Chen Feng promptly started the car.

"Why did you suddenly want me to choose a place today?" Chen Feng asked with a smile.

Zhang Yuxi took off her mask, smiled back, and said with a little breathlessness, "Staying at the hotel feels uncomfortable; I want to find a quiet place to stay for a few days, so I’m asking for your help."

Chen Feng asked, "Don’t you have an apartment here in Xiu Zhou?"

Earlier, when Chen Feng had rendezvous with her, they had been to her apartment in Xiu Zhou.

"I rented that apartment out. It’s not good to keep it vacant, plus the community is somewhat rundown and the population is complex. Last time I almost got recognized there."

"That’s true." Chen Feng nodded, then asked, "Besides that apartment here, do you have any other places?"

Despite their numerous intimate exchanges, they actually weren’t very familiar with each other’s private lives.

"I’m from Chu State. I became famous singing and first bought that old apartment in Xiu Zhou here. Later, I developed my career in Beijing and made a down payment for an apartment there, and I still have to pay the mortgage monthly. The prices there are exorbitant. I haven’t earned much over these past few years, and the main profits went to the company, plus I need to support my family. How could I have spare money to buy another apartment in Xiu Zhou? But, I do like Xiu Zhou a lot. When I have more money, I would consider buying a nicer place here."

It was the first time Chen Feng learned she was from Chu State—he hadn’t looked into these details before.

"After ’Green Jade Case’ airs, your popularity will surely climb significantly. At that point, with more endorsements, you’ll likely have enough for property here."

"Thanks for your kind words."

"Do you have any acting offers recently?"

"No, not at the moment. Filming ’Green Jade Case’ was exhausting, so I want to take a breather and focus on composing some songs. The company also plans to wait until ’Green Jade Case’ airs and my value increases before seeking acting offers."

"That’s a good approach. It’s wise to wait for the series to air."

...

The two chatted casually like old friends, on various topics. There was a mutual understanding not to inquire deeply into personal matters such as family or past relationships.

While driving, Chen Feng chatted with her, and they soon reached East Lake Garden.

After parking in the underground garage, they took the elevator directly to the 11th floor, opened the door, and went inside with Zhang Yuxi.

This place seemed to have become a designated venue for Chen Feng to bring various women for rendezvous.

Turning on the light, Chen Feng went to the liquor cabinet, poured a glass of champagne for each of them, and handed one to Zhang Yuxi.

"Thanks."

Zhang Yuxi, holding the drink, took in the apartment, feeling a subtle sense of envy.

The double-story duplex apartment owned by Chen Feng was quite impressive. Despite being several years old, her old apartment couldn’t compare—it felt like a doghouse in comparison.

Even her small villa in Beijing wasn’t larger than this one.

Furthermore, she knew Chen Feng also had two apartments in Red Villa Bay, including No. 8 Villa, which was once owned by Tao Yaoyang.

He likely had other properties, not to mention Fengmang Film and Television Company, a rising star company in the entertainment industry.

It could only be said that Chen Feng was truly wealthy and deserved his rising status as a new powerhouse in the entertainment circle.

"This apartment is really nice, it’s yours, right? Is it okay if I stay here for a few days?"

Zhang Yuxi asked with a well-behaved and curious look.

Chen Feng nodded and said, "Yes, it’s mine. You’re welcome to stay as long as you like. I don’t usually live here."

"That’s fantastic," Zhang Yuxi said happily, "I really like the apartment, especially the balcony with the floor-to-ceiling windows, offering a great view and a quiet environment."

"Then stay for a few days. For meals, you can cook yourself or have your assistant come over."

"I’ll cook myself. Can I use the kitchen here, though?"

"Certainly, you can. The fridge has some drinks and frozen food, and the gas stove and cookware are available."

"Alright. I’ll have my assistant buy groceries and deliver them tomorrow, and you can give me a spare key later."

"Sure."

"Thanks, let’s drink to that."

They clinked glasses, exchanged smiles, and slowly finished their champagne.

Then, both unstated yet intuitively moved to the sofa area, placing their glasses on the coffee table, naturally embracing one another.

"Have you showered?" Chen Feng asked, catching the pleasant scent of bath soap as his nose approached her clean neck.

With a soft acknowledgment, Zhang Yuxi’s delicate hand slid under his shirt hem...

More than an hour later, they both leaned against the oval-shaped massage bathtub, facing each other.

"Your apartment’s decor is truly impressive; how much did you spend on its renovation?"

Zhang Yuxi curiously asked.

"I’m not sure," Chen Feng answered honestly, "It was already decorated when I bought it; the renovation must’ve cost quite a bit."

"How much did this apartment cost you, then?"

"Five million."

"What? Five million? Such a large apartment, in such a prime location, with such great decor, only five million?"

Zhang Yuxi’s face was full of astonishment.

Chen Feng didn’t hide his slight pride and said, "Managed to find a good deal, I suppose. Fan Xin insisted on selling it to me, and I couldn’t refuse."

Fan Xin was a person known in the film industry, once had his sights set on Zhang Yuxi, so she was familiar with him.
