After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 722 - 391 Help Us Keep a Secret_2

So, she had no choice but to imply that she was forced, winning Xin Yuqing’s sympathy, then play the emotional card and promise benefits.

"There’s no wall that doesn’t let the wind through. Even if I keep your secret, do you think others won’t know? What you two have will be discovered sooner or later."

Xin Yuqing was actually very conflicted. Initially, after witnessing the event, she naturally felt she should tell Sun Xiaorui first. After all, Sun Xiaorui had always taken good care of her, helping her join the company, and later signing up to become an artist.

But Chen Feng was the boss. If Chen Feng knew she had snitched, her days at the company would certainly be miserable, possibly leading to her being directly fired by Chen Feng.

Fengmang Film and Television Company was developing so well now, with excellent benefits, not to mention her future potential to become a star.

Therefore, for her own interests, she definitely couldn’t offend Chen Feng, the boss.

She had long decided internally not to snitch, but feared the scandal would be exposed by others and blamed on her, which would be very unfair.

"It won’t happen. Counting today, it’s only the second time between him and me. Aside from you, no one else knows. As long as you keep it secret, others won’t find out," Yang Wenqi said confidently.

"What about the future? Will you not... have secret meetings again?" Xin Yuqing looked skeptical.

"I don’t know. Everything depends on his wishes," Yang Wenqi said helplessly.

Her words were indeed true; how things would develop between her and Chen Feng was actually in Chen Feng’s hands. She wasn’t very sure about how Chen Feng would act in the future.

However, with her planning, she finally got close to Chen Feng, so getting the second female lead in the new drama seemed assured. Company resources would presumably be focused on her.

Anyway, after today’s episode, she was convinced Chen Feng wouldn’t treat her poorly in the future. Whether it be Wu Mengting, Sun Xiaorui, or Jin Xinyan, they all provided successful examples and proof.

Xin Yuqing pretended to hesitate for a moment, then sighed and said, "I’ll promise to keep your secret. But if your affair is exposed in the future, don’t blame it on me. I didn’t spill the beans."

"Of course. As long as you agree to keep it secret, I’ll trust you. Later, I’ll tell the boss about this. Don’t worry; once you keep the secret, the boss will take good care of you in the future at the company."

"I’m doing just fine now, I don’t need him to give me special attention, as long as he doesn’t make things hard for me."

"How could that be? Besides, the company is starting a new project soon, you know? The boss already promised me the second female lead role, and I told him to arrange a role for you too. We’ll strive for the third female lead; if that’s not possible, you’ll definitely get a notable supporting role. How does that sound?"

Xin Yuqing felt a wave of anger after hearing this. Today she had just learned about the project, and specifically consulted Sun Xiaorui, who only said it was a major company project, with an investment of at least 50 million, prioritizing signed artists for roles, and she had a chance too.

But Sun Xiaorui didn’t give any guarantees, only said she had a chance and needed to audition first.

Yet Yang Wenqi had already secured the second female lead.

This was really unfair!

Indeed, having a backer or not makes a huge difference, especially since Yang Wenqi’s backer is directly the company’s boss now.

It’s predictable that under the boss’s support, Yang Wenqi is set to become a star quickly, while she, being a signed artist, doesn’t know when she’ll get famous and become a star.

"Thank you. If you can help me get the third female lead role, I’ll treat you like my big sister from now on, listen to you always."

"My dear sister, rest assured, I’ll try my best to help you."

"Great, I’ll wait for your good news."

...

Chen Feng returned to Red Villa Bay full of frustrations. Firstly, he was tricked by Yang Wenqi, though this kind of steamy scheme was hard for any man to dislike, he still felt a bit disgruntled. He must find a chance to properly deal with her.

And then, being stirred by Yang Wenqi, he felt a strong inner fire without a release, definitely uncomfortable.

Also, he was caught by Xin Yuqing during his affair with Yang Wenqi, though he wasn’t too worried about Xin Yuqing reporting it to Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting, but it felt troublesome nonetheless.

On the way back, he kept reminiscing about Yang Wenqi’s charming allure, so much so that when he reached Red Villa Bay, he was still somewhat absent-minded.

While having dinner with Sun and Wu, he seemed distracted, leading them to inquire with concern.

Chen Feng made excuses to brush it off.

Once he went upstairs intending to shower, he received a message from Yang Wenqi.

"Yuqing wants the third female lead for the new drama, I’ve promised her to try and get it for her."

Chen Feng frowned slightly upon seeing the message; was Xin Yuqing using this to demand a favor from him? If so, it’s indeed unpleasant.

Because by doing so, it’s equivalent to extortion, which made Chen Feng’s impression of Xin Yuqing take a drastic turn.

"Got it. Given equal conditions, prioritize her. If her acting is not up to par, there’s nothing I can do. The company can’t afford to joke with investments of millions."

Of course, Chen Feng wouldn’t succumb to her veiled coercion, yet, Xin Yuqing being a contracted artist of his company, prioritizing her given equal conditions was acceptable. Moreover, Xin Yuqing’s appearance did suit the role of the third female lead.

But after this move by Xin Yuqing, it was unlikely for her to expect Chen Feng to boost her support.

Unbeknownst to him, it was precisely what Yang Wenqi wanted. Fengmang Film and Television Company now only signed two newcomers, her and Xin Yuqing; though she was better than Xin Yuqing in all aspects, the company’s resources were only so much, so there existed a subtle competitive relationship between them. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

By willingly attaching herself to Chen Feng, the boss, she indeed had this type of relationship in mind, and now planting a trap on Xin Yuqing was expected.

"Okay, I’ll tell her. She’s agreed to keep it secret, no worries."

Chen Feng glanced at it and didn’t reply to her message. Instead, he sent a message to Sun Xiaorui, asking her to come upstairs to shower with him.

Before long, Sun Xiaorui went upstairs with a slightly flushed face. Chen Feng pulled her directly into the bathroom.
