After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 743 - 404: Testing the Quality
Chen Feng actually never really wanted to become close friends with second-generation heirs like Tao Yaoyang.
Basically, if there's nothing important, he wouldn't reach out to the other person.
In fact, since the two met, most of the time it was Tao Yaoyang inviting Chen Feng out for meals and such, and Chen Feng rarely invited him.
Generally speaking, for Chen Feng, this isn't the way to make friends. As time goes by, the other party will naturally drift away, which is exactly what Chen Feng wants.
But what puzzled Chen Feng was that after so long, Tao Yaoyang didn't seem to mind Chen Feng's behavior too much and occasionally reached out to him or even invited him out.
For example, for this small gathering in the film industry, Tao Yaoyang invited him.
In Chen Feng's view, Tao Yaoyang treated him well mainly because he was wealthy. Previously, under Tao Yaoyang's witness, he lent money to Cai Zhixin.
Later, Tao Yaoyang hoped he would invest in his fund.
Someone coveting your money naturally makes you want to distance yourself.
And this time, Tao Yaoyang didn't support him against the pressure from Fan Xin, making Chen Feng even more disappointed.
Therefore, while Chen Feng hadn't said he would blacklist Tao Yaoyang, it wasn't far from it.
Just as he stepped out of the elevator, he received a call from Tao Yaoyang. He didn't want to answer it, but the phone kept ringing, so he picked it up.
"Chen Feng, I've already resolved the issue with Fan Xin for you. I didn't even get to discuss it with you before you left."
As soon as the call connected, Tao Yaoyang immediately got to the point. He wanted to probe and assess the true capability behind Chen Feng, yet he was more concerned about falling out with Chen Feng and becoming strangers.
"No need. If Fan Xin wants to deal with me, let him go ahead. I have other things to do, so let's leave it at that."
After speaking, Chen Feng hung up the phone directly. People like Tao Yaoyang are from a different world, and he never wanted to provoke or get too involved. This was a good opportunity to break ties.
On the other end of the phone, Tao Yaoyang held the phone in a daze for a while before reluctantly putting it down.
He hesitated about whether to make the call but eventually decided against it.
Clearly, Chen Feng was angry now; no matter how much he said, Chen Feng wouldn't listen, and it might even anger him more.
Additionally, his pride was at play. After all, he's someone of status and rank, not to mention his father. He himself already has decent connections and foundation, and it's hard for him to completely lower himself to curry favor.
Still, this matter left Tao Yaoyang feeling frustrated. While he blamed himself a bit, more of his grudges undoubtedly fell on Fan Xin.
When he tried to find Fan Xin, he realized he was gone. He asked around and found that the guy had already left.
This left him with unvented frustration.
He considered calling Fan Xin and casually revealing some information about Chen Feng. This could appease Fan Xin a bit while also helping Chen Feng resolve this issue. It was entirely possible to benefit both sides.
But ultimately, after weighing it for a while, he decided to let Fan Xin try Chen Feng's true character.
Anyway, things had come to this point. Chen Feng might not be appeased, and Fan Xin might not listen to his advice. Besides, he was pretty annoyed with Fan Xin now, so letting him stumble wouldn't be a bad thing.
...
On the way back, Lu Sijia asked Chen Feng with concern, "How do you plan to deal with Fan Xin? I heard from Tang Xinyi that this guy never forgets a grudge."
"Don't worry. It'll sort itself out when the time comes. Even if he wants to cause trouble, he'll have to wait until 'Green Jade Case' is finished, which will take at least two or three months. There's time." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Chen Feng really didn't take Fan Xin seriously. After all, this is a society governed by laws now. Even with his powerful uncle, they can't go too far.
Additionally, Chen Feng had a peculiar confidence in his own luck.
Ever since he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, his luck had been surprisingly good.
"That's not necessarily true. His uncle is a real big shot, and if he truly wants to target you and our company, there are ways. It doesn't necessarily have to wait until 'Green Jade Case' is finished."
"Oh, if they want to deal with us now, how would they do it?" Chen Feng asked curiously.
Lu Sijia said worriedly, "I'm afraid they'll find an excuse to halt our production directly."
Chen Feng frowned, "Our production is legally permitted, we have the licenses. What excuse could they possibly use to halt it? Plus, this is Xiu Zhou, not Beijing."
Lu Sijia shook her head, "I hope I'm just overthinking it."
...
Two days later, Chen Feng received news from Wu Mengting that the production of the new drama was halted. Then Lu Sijia also called him about it.
The reason for the halt was simple: upon review and audit, the central office found multiple errors and inaccuracies in 'Green Jade Case,' with historical distortions to an extent, and even had scenes of female intimacy, clearly violating current social values.
Therefore, the production license previously issued by the provincial office was voided, and it was sent back for reassessment.
"It seems Fan Xin took action after all. His vengeance is indeed strong, and it only took him two days," Lu Sijia sighed.
A day of production stoppage means a day's financial waste, and if they can't resume, their previous investments will go down the drain.
"This guy really is something. When he says revenge, he means it. It's unbelievable that his uncle actually listens to him like this. Just what style of operation is this for someone in leadership?"
Chen Feng didn't expect Lu Sijia's words to be so prophetic, with Fan Xin's vengefulness so intense.
He was truly offended this time.
After being diagnosed and divorced, he had been sailing smoothly, but this time was a setback. And unfortunately, he had no quick solutions for this.
In his frustration, Li Shengping also called him.
"Little Chen, I just learned about the halt of your company's new drama. I specifically looked into it, and it's the decision of Deputy Director Fan Yigang. Did you offend someone?"
When Chen Feng saved Li Shengping's life, he was always supportive of Fengmang Film and Television Company.
"Yes, two days ago, I had a conflict with Fan Xin, probably the deputy director's nephew. I thought it was just a misunderstanding and a bit of an argument, but didn't expect such a petty retaliation."
Having no reason to hide from Li Shengping, Chen Feng just laid it out.
Though Li Shengping expected this outcome, the confirmation still made him a bit uneasy, but he eventually said, "Well, since I also kind of know Fan Xin, how about I call him and arrange a meeting for you two to clear up the misunderstanding? How does that sound?"
