After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 731 - 396 No Mistake

Two days later, the casting event for the new drama finally came to an end.

The choice for the male lead was also finalized. His name is He Hongpeng, handsome and masculine, not like the current trend of effeminate young idols. He’s the burly tough-guy type, and he graduated from Peking Opera just two years ago, classically trained.

But even so, he hasn’t had many opportunities in acting. Previously, even with help from classmates and teachers, he could only get small supporting roles in some crews, counted lucky if he got a few lines and minutes on screen.

Some agencies were interested in signing him due to his looks, but being a Peking Opera graduate, he wasn’t impressed by small companies, let alone those shell companies.

Therefore, when he came over to Fengmang Film and Television Company for an audition, he was still freelancing, without even an agent.

Among the same batch of auditions, he wasn’t the most outstanding, but he was not bound by a contract, had acting skills, was classically trained, and was very willing to sign with Fengmang Film and Television Company. It was natural for Fengmang to choose him.

The choice for the male lead was made by Lu Sijia and Wu Mengting. Although they consulted Chen Feng, he didn’t bother to meet He Hongpeng in person and just confirmed. After all, both of them agreed.

The female lead had been decided two days earlier as Zhang Yuxi, so the three actresses Lu Sijia invited afterward only had to make an appearance and get their travel reimbursed.

Lu Sijia wasn’t too keen on having Zhang Yuxi as the female lead, but Chen Feng was the boss, and neither the screenwriter and production director Wu Mengting nor she, as the supervisor, could disagree.

The director and the male and female leads were decided early on, as were some other roles. What’s left were some crew members.

In this regard, the director Cheng Linzhuang and Lu Sijia had recruited most of them, and within two or three days, the "Green Jade Case" crew would be officially formed.

On this day, Fengmang Film and Television Company first gathered some of the main actors for a meeting to introduce and get to know each other.

Chen Feng, the boss and investor, seldom appeared to meet them, gave a few encouraging words, and then voluntarily left.

Afterward, the meeting was presided over by Lu Sijia, the supervisor, and Wu Mengting, the production director and screenwriter.

When the introductory meeting ended, the next was the exchange meeting for the crew’s main creators.

As such, after these creators got familiar with each other at Fengmang Film and Television Company for a few days, they would follow the officially formed crew to the film and television base for the formal shoot.

Regarding specific filming work, Chen Feng, as the boss, naturally didn’t have to worry, continuing his role as the hands-off shopkeeper.

However, because Jin Xinyan invested 5 million into the crew, she expressed wanting a position like financial supervisor in the crew, a nominal role.

After all, she put in a hefty 5 million, and wanting to supervise the financials in the crew made sense.

Of course, Jin Xinyan’s main purpose was to see how the filming was done; she was quite curious. Moreover, the crew would be filming at the Hengdian Film and Television Base in the same province, considered a scenic spot she always wanted to visit but hadn’t had the opportunity. This was a great chance.

Jin Xinyan wanted to see the filming and kept trying to persuade Chen Feng to go with her.

Chen Feng had refused several times, but she still persuaded whenever she got a chance, making Chen Feng a bit irritated. He didn’t want to deal with her, Wu Mengting, the female lead Zhang Yuxi, and the second female lead Yang Wenqi in the crew simultaneously.

But Jin Xinyan seemed persistent, wanting to drag Chen Feng with her, not mainly for the filming but to take a nice trip with him.

This was the idea she conveyed during their intimate interactions over the past two days, making it hard for Chen Feng to say anything against her.

After all, she gave him her first time. They’ve known each other for a long time, and Chen Feng, truth be told, hadn’t spent a decent amount of money on her, let alone traveled together.

In this regard, Chen Feng was not doing great as a "boyfriend."

That day, Jin Xinyan messaged him to meet for dinner, at around 3 PM.

For the past two days, it was around this time she’d ask him out, then they’d go straight to a hotel or East Lake Villa, and two to three hours later, they’d come out to eat.

Undeniably, Jin Xinyan has been somewhat intense about certain things these days. Luckily, Chen Feng was in good shape now; otherwise, a few days like this would wear out any other guy.

Of course, Chen Feng also knew why Jin Xinyan was doing this: to try and convince him to go to Hengdian.

And Chen Feng really didn’t want to go, so this time, he outright refused her dinner invitation.

Jin Xinyan immediately sent a provocative animated emoji, followed by a voice message: [Are you not capable? Haha, if you’re not, I can give you two days off.]

Even though Chen Feng knew she was baiting him, he couldn’t resist. What man can tolerate being told he’s incapable?

So Chen Feng immediately replied: [Wait at East Lake Villa, I’ll be there in half an hour]

Jin Xinyan responded first with an OK gesture, followed by an emoji with her tongue out and a wink.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Feng drove to East Lake Villa and saw Jin Xinyan already waiting at the entrance.

Chen Feng approached her expressionlessly and led her into the house, with Jin Xinyan grinning as she looked at him.

An hour later, Jin Xinyan was lying there panting for breath, barely able to catch it, feeling completely exhausted.

When Chen Feng came out of the bathroom after showering, she was still in this state.

"So, am I capable or not?" Chen Feng stood at the foot of the bed, draping a towel, looking at her with a teasing expression.

Jin Xinyan opened her eyes slightly, weakly saying, "You’re getting back at me. Really not a bit of gentlemanly conduct."

"Don’t you like it? You looked pretty excited earlier."

Jin Xinyan closed her eyes again and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Chen Feng didn’t push her further. After all, she still had her pride, and pushing too far would be inappropriate.

Over ten minutes later, Jin Xinyan finally got down from the bed, dragging her exhausted body to take a shower.

After that day, Jin Xinyan indeed didn’t proactively invite him again.

On the day before the crew left for Hengdian, as everyone got settled, Chen Feng received another message from Yang Wenqi.

[We’re leaving tomorrow. Can we meet for dinner tonight?]

In fact, since helping her change the faucet that day, Yang Wenqi had contacted him several times, always wanting to meet up, but Chen Feng refused each time.

It wasn’t that Chen Feng suddenly turned into a saint, nor was it that Yang Wenqi had lost her allure. It was because he felt Yang Wenqi was too cunning, playing tricks on him, and last time he was almost caught in her trap.
