After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 739 - 402: Impure Intentions

Lu Sijia said disdainfully, "I've seen plenty of handsome men, but the more handsome a man is, the more likely he is to be flirtatious. Especially if he's a bit unscrupulous, we should naturally stay away from them."

Chen Feng chuckled, "How did you perceive he was unscrupulous?"

Tang Xinyi laughed lightly beside them, "This man indeed has a bit of a reputation in the circle; he has successfully facilitated several financing projects before and apparently has some background. But he's also tricked quite a few people, especially those rich nouveau riches like coal bosses. Moreover, he's flirtatious; I hear he prefers young married women and likes to seduce women who are already taken. His reputation in this regard isn't good."

After hearing Tang Xinyi's introduction, Chen Feng couldn't help but feel a bit "respectful" towards this person and glanced in his direction out of curiosity, "What's his name?"

Tang Xinyi whispered, "Fan Xin. It's best to keep a respectful distance from people like him, not offend them, but certainly not get too close either."

"Thank you for the heads-up."

Tang Xinyi's well-intentioned reminder was appreciated by Chen Feng.

Lu Sijia said, "He's very thick-skinned; we've made excuses to avoid him several times, and yet he still comes over."

Chen Feng laughed, "That just shows how charming the two of you are. He might quite fancy you both, although I think Tang is more seductive than you two, right? He's probably drawn to President Tang."

The two women rolled their eyes at him. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Seeing this, Chen Feng immediately switched topics, "How did your discussion go just now?"

Talking about real business made Lu Sijia stop rolling her eyes and reply, "We've preliminarily reached an agreement to collaborate on producing this drama. We'll discuss further how to cooperate and share the profits over time."

Tang Xinyi nodded in agreement, "Yes, personally, I'm very much hoping to collaborate with Fengmang Film and Television. I also believe you can help us produce this TV drama 'Flowers Bloom and Fall' successfully."

Chen Feng, hearing their commitment, straightforwardly said, "Then let's collaborate. As for the specifics, you two can slowly discuss them and just inform me once there's a result."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xinyi couldn't help but laugh, "You're really taking it easy as a boss."

Lu Sijia smiled wryly, "He's taking it easy while I'm working hard."

Tang Xinyi laughed comfortingly, "This is a sign of his trust in you. Other bosses wouldn't trust their subordinates as much. Take me, for instance, although I'm the president and shareholder of Qipeng Media, the other two shareholders don't quite trust me."

Lu Sijia immediately said, "Then you're able to make decisions about 'Flowers Bloom and Fall,' right."

"Rest assured, I am. Being the largest shareholder of the company, I hold absolute controlling and management rights. The shares of the other two combined are less than mine alone."

"Then there's no problem." Lu Sijia was relieved and said, "I'm very concerned about this drama. I don't want anything unexpected happening on your end."

"Naturally. I initially decided to purchase the adaptation rights for this novel, so I have absolute decision-making power."

As the three were talking, Fan Xin walked over and said to Chen Feng with a smile, "You must be Boss Chen. Have you finished chatting with the two lovely ladies? Would you be interested in talking with me? I have a very good investment project here with a high profit margin."

Chen Feng gave him a slight smile but shook his head, "Not interested."

Fan Xin didn't give up and continued, "You might as well hear about my project before deciding. Basically, it's the investment and construction of a film city. It's a large project, and the long-term return rate is quite substantial. Hengdian Film City serves as a good model..."

Chen Feng truly wasn't interested in his idle talk and interrupted, "I'm really not interested; you should find someone else."

Fan Xin was notably surprised at first, then laughed heartily, "Boss Chen, you really are... um, quite unique."

After saying this, he moved forward slightly closer to Chen Feng and said coolly, "I hear your company is currently developing rapidly, but I think that may not always be smooth sailing. For instance, you recently invested tens of millions to shoot a costume drama. I'm skeptical whether it can be shot smoothly or even successfully screened. Don't you think? It might be better to use the surplus funds for other investments."

These words made Chen Feng feel somewhat offended.

Just as he was about to speak, Lu Sijia jumped in first, "Manager Fan, we don't like hearing those words. Aren't you cursing our company on purpose? That's not something someone like you should say."

Although Lu Sijia was visibly upset, her words were polite enough to save face for the other party.

Fan Xin shook his head slightly and smiled, "I was just saying what if. In my opinion, Fengmang Film and Television's new drama project seems somewhat rushed and misguided. Firstly, the scriptwriter is a complete novice, never even heard of before. Secondly, the lead female is surprisingly Zhang Yuxi, a non-professional vase who comes from a singing background and hasn't acted for years now. Are you sure she can act?

Besides Zhang Yuxi as the lead female, the male lead and other supporting roles are basically unknowns. With such a cast, do you really have confidence in making an appealing series? I think it will be very difficult.

Furthermore, domestically, policies on costume dramas are tightening, and related agencies tend to be increasingly strict with reviews. Particularly, your company's 'Mountain Order' has received many criticisms in the past. In many people's eyes, such pieces shouldn't be passed in reviews.

Hence, I think next time, when submitting this new drama for review, it might be quite challenging to get through."

Lu Sijia's expression suddenly took a turn for the worse.

From his words, Chen Feng perceived a subtle threat, hinting that Fan Xin likely had connections within the review agencies, using the review matter to make a point.

For film companies and producers, passing the review is indeed a crucial step.

Yet, Chen Feng had connections with Li Shengping, and in the East Sea Province area, as long as things weren't overboard, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

'Green Jade Case,' a costume drama, primarily deals with romance intertwined with some patriotic sentiment, mostly devoid of explicit scenes and violent content. Generally, passing the review should be no issue.

Thus, Chen Feng remained unconvinced about Fan Xin's ability to block 'Green Jade Case' from passing the review in the future.

"It appears Manager Fan has some grudges against our company." Chen Feng said calmly.

Fan Xin shook his head slightly, saying seriously, "Don't misunderstand. I bear no grudges against your company, just opinions about you."

After finishing these words, he suddenly laughed again, trying to be humorous, "Just a joke. Hope you don't mind."

Chen Feng was annoyed by him, slightly putting on a stern face, "I'm not fond of joking around with people."

Fan Xin's smile suddenly became a bit stiff, glaring at Chen Feng with a hint of anger. Chen Feng, however, did not shy away from his gaze, looking at him calmly.
