After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 1148 - 604: A Woman Like Wild Grass

"Is there something you wanted to discuss?"

Just as Yang Wenqi left and closed the office door, Wu Mengting, sitting on the sofa, asked.

"What’s going on with Han Shipei?"

Chen Feng bluntly asked his question.

When Wu Mengting heard it was about this, she couldn’t help but smile and said, "Initially, we selected another professional actress recommended by Star Media, but she suddenly backed out, citing scheduling conflicts. Later, we found out she was chosen by another big production to play the third female lead. After consideration, she abandoned our drama’s second female lead role."

"So, you chose Han Shipei afterward?" Chen Feng was really puzzled. Before this, Han Shipei had nothing to do with acting, and she probably didn’t have any acting foundation. How did she get chosen?

Wu Mengting said, "Letting her be the second female lead was mainly Sijia’s decision. She’s the executive producer of this drama. Of course, she informed me in advance, and I didn’t oppose it. As for why Han Shipei was chosen, it’s mainly because she’s one of our company’s people. Before shooting this show, she signed an artist contract with our company.

You might worry about her acting skills, but I think there’s no need to worry. Since she joined us, she’s been taking acting classes, and according to Sijia, she performed well during the audition. Even the director praised her acting. Maybe she’s a natural-born actress.

Since both Sijia and the director approve of her, there’s no reason not to give her a chance. Besides, Shipei has also told me she will continue her PR duties for the company. So, if she can appear in several dramas and gain some fame, it will greatly benefit her PR work. I quite agree with her on this."

Understanding the insider information, Chen Feng couldn’t help but admire Han Shipei’s opportunism and maneuvering skills.

He could completely guess that Han Shipei engineered all of this. From the moment she relied on Chen Feng and joined the Fengmang Film and Television Company, she had likely begun calculating.

Attending acting training was her preparation in advance, and then when this rare opportunity arose, she first successfully persuaded Lu Sijia and then smoothly handled Wu Mengting. Effortlessly, she became the second female lead in Fengmang’s new drama.

This ability to seize opportunities and maneuver is something most people can’t achieve.

How long has it been? She went from kneeling and crying to Chen Feng, expressing her willingness to be his dog as a helpless young woman, to becoming the second female lead in a television series. There’s a high probability she will gain some fame with this role.

Before this, she was just an ordinary office worker who’d graduated a year or two ago, jobless, and had been mistreated. She could be said to have been quite miserable, and more importantly, she had nothing to do with the entertainment industry before.

You could only say she seized every opportunity she wanted, especially Chen Feng, a benefactor she didn’t let slip, and then in a short time, she transformed brilliantly.

As for this, besides feeling a bit emotional, Chen Feng was not displeased with her.

He might not like her, but he shouldn’t dislike her either.

One can only say this woman is like an extremely tenacious weed, able to grow anywhere and thrive.

Her adaptability to life is incredibly strong.

In this regard, she’s worth learning from by many.

"Let’s give her a chance."

After his inner musings, Chen Feng still decided to give Han Shipei this opportunity.

Wu Mengting also spoke well of Han Shipei: "Since she joined our company, she’s been quite diligent, helping us handle quite a few business engagements with great results. Moreover, she’s very motivated, constantly working hard on her acting skills, and this time she seized the opportunity. Both Sijia and I admire her."

With both powerful women from two companies recognizing her, what else could Chen Feng say? He merely smiled and moved on. "If there’s nothing else, you can get back to your work. Later, I’ll wait for you to get off work together to go home."

Having finished discussing Han Shipei, Chen Feng had nothing else and planned to rest in the office for a while.

However, Wu Mengting didn’t leave immediately and continued, "The ’Green Jade Case’ will soon air, and barring any surprises, Yang Wenqi will likely become a breakout star. So, we’ve implemented strict internal controls at the company to prevent any scandals or negative news related to her. She’s the female artist the company is primarily promoting next, and she holds huge commercial value, so we don’t want any trouble, including potential scandals with you, the boss."

Chen Feng raised an eyebrow at her, wanting to argue but ultimately feeling it unnecessary, so he replied indifferently, "Rest assured, there’s nothing between us. If there is, I’ll let you know."

Chen Feng’s words and attitude made Wu Mengting feel uncomfortable, but she couldn’t say too much, lest she stirred more resentment in Chen Feng. She understood this point.

She could only suppress her inner grievance, keeping her expression as calm as possible and nodding, "Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading out."

With that, she stood up and quickly left the chairman’s office.

Watching her close the door, Chen Feng let out a long sigh of relief. Luckily, he and Yang Wenqi hadn’t done anything before; otherwise, it would have been too embarrassing if Wu Mengting had caught them.

He readjusted his chair to its original position and comfortably placed his feet on the large desk.

Maintaining this posture, he rested with his eyes half-closed for a while, until he heard his phone buzzing with several notifications.

Chen Feng reopened his eyes and took out his phone to check. It was a message from Jin Xinyan, saying she had secured a business gig for Lin Yujiao in Lu City. She’d perform at a mall event, singing two songs for two hundred thousand yuan.

Lin Yujiao had already agreed and was preparing to drive to Lu City the next day, with the formal performance scheduled for the morning after. Jin Xinyan planned to go along and was reporting this to Chen Feng as the boss.

Upon hearing they were going for a business performance, Chen Feng felt a bit uneasy, given that it was just the two women, both very attractive, which seemed unsafe.

However, he had to admit that doing business gigs was very lucrative. Performing two songs for 200,000 yuan was more than the salary a typical worker might earn in two years with hard work.

Of course, this could be because Lin Yujiao is a local singer in Lu City. Other places might not pay as much.

Therefore, Chen Feng couldn’t refuse Lin Yujiao the chance to earn this quick money.

After some thought, Chen Feng replied to Jin Xinyan: [I have no objection to you going with her. But considering it’s just you two women, it feels a bit unsafe, so it’s necessary to bring an assistant and a bodyguard. You can help find an assistant, and I’ll ask Qin Zhen about a bodyguard.]

Jin Xinyan immediately replied: [For an assistant, I’ll bring Du’er. She only wants her travel expenses covered and doesn’t need a salary. She mainly wants to gain some experience. She’s quite adventurous, often traveling and is familiar with booking tickets, hotels, and meals, as well as being good with people, so being an assistant won’t be a problem. As for safety, I was originally going to have two friends act as bodyguards, but since you have a way of finding professional ones, go ahead and arrange it.]
