After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 996 - 529: Friendly Exchange (2)
Chen Feng nodded and said, "They do have an eye for talent. In this era where entertainment reigns supreme, the market for TV and film is huge. As long as it’s not terribly bad and the content isn’t inappropriate, it can sell for a good price. You should stick with it a bit longer."
Tang Xinyi smiled bitterly, "For the past few years, with the company in my hands, I’ve poured in painstaking efforts and hardships just to make a meager profit. All I’ve earned is tough money, not nearly as much as I used to earn from acting and shooting ads. I’ve realized I’m not cut out for business. So now, I plan to cling to President Huo’s big, strong leg and follow him for some leftovers."
Chen Feng laughed, "At least you’re self-aware. But is Huo Jindong’s big, strong leg really that easy to cling to?"
Tang Xinyi looked at him directly and smiled, "Isn’t that why I have you? President Huo knows about my relationship with you, so he’s generally courteous to me."
Chen Feng frowned, "Aren’t we just ordinary friends?"
Tang Xinyi rolled her eyes at him, "We’ve slept together, and you still say we’re just ordinary friends?"
Chen Feng’s expression turned cold, "That’s meaningless to say. We both know that previously it was just about mutual needs and equal exchange. I’m not your boyfriend."
Tang Xinyi wasn’t angry, smiling as she said, "You’re not my boyfriend, but you are my man. You can’t deny that. Tao Yaoyang and President Huo think so too."
Chen Feng sneered, "Is that really the case? Last time when we met at that porridge shop, you didn’t talk to me at all. With your attitude toward me, would they really think you’re my woman?"
Tang Xinyi replied with a pout, "You’re truly a petty man. Last time at the porridge shop, you had several women around you. Can’t I have a bit of attitude? Those two men can understand that."
"Are you planning to keep using my name to fool them?" Chen Feng looked at her with some displeasure.
Tang Xinyi suddenly stuck out her tongue, blinked her big eyes, and said softly, "Don’t be so petty. I only occasionally borrow your name, and I really am your woman, aren’t I? Wouldn’t you grant me such a small request?"
Chen Feng sternly rejected her, "You and I both know it was just a temporary mutually-beneficial transaction. You’re not really my woman."
"Saying that is hurtful. I’ve always thought of you as my man, yet you don’t care about me at all." Tang Xinyi made a pretend pout.
Chen Feng waved his hand, "Enough of this. Don’t use my name anymore. If you keep doing it, it’s like you’re making me owe favors to others. My favors are not for you to use so casually."
"I haven’t done anything excessive, I just want a chance to speak and be part of the discussion before people like Tao Yaoyang and Huo Jindong."
"Weren’t you already involved last time? What more do you want? You shouldn’t be too greedy."
"Last time was last time. Next time, if there’s a good project, I’ll need your face to have President Huo and Tao Yaoyang take me along."
"You really are a greedy woman."
After saying this, Chen Feng shook his head, put down his teacup, and stood up to leave.
Tang Xinyi was such an ambitious and insatiable woman, Chen Feng really disliked her. It seemed he had made a mistake coming today.
Tang Xinyi quickly stood up, stepped forward, and grabbed Chen Feng’s hand.
"Chen Feng, give me a chance. I want to be your woman. Just that one title, I won’t interfere with you dating or marrying. Is that too much to ask?"
Chen Feng frowned slightly at her, and said bluntly, "I can’t handle a woman like you, and I’m afraid you’ll bring me trouble. So don’t use my name anymore. I’ll make this clear to Tao Yaoyang and Huo Jindong."
Tang Xinyi was startled and quickly grabbed his hand with both of hers, holding his palm tightly.
"Don’t be so excessive. I haven’t openly used your name outside, only Tao Yaoyang and President Huo know about our relationship. Is it too much to ask for convenience? Would you really go out of your way to clarify everything with them? What do you take me for? We did share something, after all."
Tang Xinyi looked at him with a sorrowful expression, which made him think of Consort Qi, softening his heart.
"Fine, I won’t clarify with them, but I won’t offer favors for you anymore, and you shouldn’t use my name. Otherwise, we won’t even be able to be friends."
Tang Xinyi saw Chen Feng relent and nodded repeatedly, "Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you. To apologize, let me take you for an ice drink next."
"No need for ice drinks. Maybe next time, I have things to do back home."
"Oh, come on." Tang Xinyi took another step closer, half of her body leaning against Chen Feng, arms wrapped around his, "Since you don’t like ice drinks, to apologize, let me take you home and personally cook scallion oil noodles for you. They’re delicious!"
Chen Feng tried to pull away slightly but couldn’t, still maintaining a slight stern face as he said, "Okay, maybe next time."
"Oh please, Emperor, come home with your consort."
Tang Xinyi’s voice was sweet and soft, naturally switching to Consort Qi’s tone and role.
In reality, this role play of Consort Qi felt somewhat unnatural. In fact, she didn’t really like it. Her personality was quite different from the one she portrayed as Consort Qi.
Moreover, she was a CEO, so lowering herself like this wasn’t her will.
But she knew Chen Feng had a soft spot for it and just had to lower herself to accommodate him.
Sure enough, seeing her switch to Consort Qi’s role, Chen Feng felt somewhat unsettled, coughing lightly as he said, "Don’t do that, it sounds awkward."
"Emperor, please favor your consort."
Chen Feng’s body half-tingled as he listened to her slightly plaintive and remorseful voice.
"Let’s go, Emperor."
Tang Xinyi noticed Chen Feng’s change and seized the opportunity by taking his arm out of the private tea room, and directly leading him to her car, letting him sit in the passenger seat.
After the car started, Chen Feng snapped back to reality, smiling wryly, "Seems I overestimated my own resistance and underestimated Consort Qi’s charm."
Tang Xinyi sweetly smiled, "Emperor, just enjoy your happiness."
"Don’t talk to me like that, it makes me uncomfortable, so cheesy."
"Alright. As long as you regard me as your woman."
"At most, I’ll consider you my friend."
"Fine then, as long as you see me as yours."
