After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 936 - 499: Arrogance and Pride (Part 2)

"Alright. I'll contact a few of the top executives in my company later, discuss with them, and get back to you as soon as possible."

"Okay, add me on WeChat then."

Zhang Jingwen proactively picked up her phone and opened the QR code for him to scan.

Seeing this, Chen Feng also took out his phone to scan and added her as a friend.

"Alright. I'll try to get back to you by today."

"Okay." Zhang Jingwen nodded, then stood up, paused for a moment, and said, "If you sign me, I guarantee you can make money, a lot of money. I starred in 'Immortal Destiny' last year, which I'm sure you're aware of; its fame is comparable to first-tier celebrities. Although my fame has declined a bit this year, it's still quite sustainable, and I still have over ten million fans. Any product I endorse easily fetches an endorsement fee of over ten million."

Chen Feng ruthlessly pointed out, "Then why did you just say you're broke?"

Immediately, with a displeased look, Zhang Jingwen responded, "I invested in filming two TV series this year and ended up losing money, with most of my previous earnings put into them. Also, I won't endorse just any product for money."

"Your family must be quite wealthy, right?" Chen Feng probed.

Zhang Jingwen candidly admitted, "Yes, my family is rich, but they don't support my career as a celebrity."

Only then did Chen Feng nod understandingly and said, "Alright. If nothing goes wrong, our company is willing to sign you. But I can't guarantee anything yet; I need to discuss it with a few key executives in my company before making a decision."

"I'll wait for your news."

Zhang Jingwen didn't linger any longer and walked towards the door after speaking.

Seeing this, Chen Feng, unusually polite, said, "Why don't you stay a bit longer?"

Zhang Jingwen rolled her eyes at him, leaving him to ponder that as she continued silently to the door, opened it, and closed it with a somewhat forceful bang.

This woman clearly harbors some resentment towards him. If she does get signed to the company, who knows what kind of trouble she might bring.

However, Zhang Jingwen's external attributes are indeed excellent, especially her stunning appearance in ancient costumes, making her very photogenic.

The drama 'Immortal Destiny' back then had an average plot, even somewhat melodramatic; her acting could only be said to barely meet the bar. But her beauty in costumes was too captivating, and most of the audience watched it for her looks rather than the storyline.

That's why this drama propelled her to instant fame.

As for why her popularity has declined this year, Chen Feng isn't quite sure, but he suspects it has something to do with her losing money on two TV series.

Therefore, she still holds great potential. Signing her would undoubtedly make money.

From the perspective of a boss and capitalist, Chen Feng is quite inclined to sign her. As for personal grudges, as long as they don't affect his profits, he sees no need to fuss over them. After all, he hardly visits the company; even if she's signed, they wouldn't have many opportunities to meet.

After figuring all this out, Chen Feng called Lu Sijia to discuss Zhang Jingwen's situation in detail.

Lu Sijia was surprised that Chen Feng actually knew Zhang Jingwen. After listening to what Chen Feng had to say, she thought for a moment and said, "I know her too, in a way. Personally, I think she's too proud and behaves entirely like a pampered rich young lady, with a somewhat stubborn and willful personality. I'm worried that if the company signs her, she won't conform to company regulations, and it would be difficult to manage her. Her family has quite some influence here in Xiu Zhou; if she causes a scene with our company, it might lead to trouble for us."

"What does her dad do? Also, she has an uncle named Zhang Qibo—what does he do?" Chen Feng didn't hold back with Lu Sijia, asking directly.

Surprised, Lu Sijia said, "If you know her uncle's name, don't you know what he does?"

"She told me her uncle's name, but I truly don't know who he is."

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Sijia truthfully said, "Her uncle is the deputy xx of Xiu Zhou City, and her dad is the owner of Dingsheng Real Estate. The Red Villa Bay where you currently live seems to be developed by her family."

Even with some mental preparation, Chen Feng was still a bit shocked. Indeed, she has quite a prestigious background! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Nonetheless, Chen Feng wasn't afraid, since it was Zhang Jingwen seeking his help this time, not the other way around.

"So, what's your opinion? Should we sign her?" Chen Feng inquired in a calm tone.

After a brief silence, Lu Sijia replied, "My opinion is not to sign her. While signing her could indeed earn our company a lot of money, it might also lead to many problems. Currently, our company is already fostering its own stars, and given our limited resources, there's no need to sign another already famous celebrity like her."

"Alright, I understand. Let's leave it at that for now."

Since Lu Sijia had expressed her opinion, Chen Feng didn't say much more to her.

Internally, he somewhat agreed but felt it was a pity to let go of Zhang Jingwen, a money-making prospect.

Of course, the ultimate decision still lay in Chen Feng's hands as the boss. Lu Sijia, as the general manager, could not make the final call.

Chen Feng then called Wu Mengting, shared Zhang Jingwen's situation, her overbearing and willful nature, family background, and Lu Sijia's suggestion not to sign her, then asked for her opinion.

Without much hesitation, Wu Mengting directly responded, "I think we can sign her. Sijia's concerns are understandable, but we shouldn't throw out the baby with the bathwater. It's clear that signing her can make our company money, and a lot of it, so why refuse? As long as she signs an actual contract with us and has a breach penalty of billions, we don't need to fear her temper.

As long as she makes money for us, we can support and humor her. If necessary, we can even amend the contract. Additionally, since her family has such a strong background, signing her would also mean gaining a strong backing for our company. If our company faces any troubles later, we can leverage her connections to ask her family for help. It would be a waste not to utilize such a resource."

Chen Feng was somewhat convinced by Wu Mengting.

However, he didn't make a decision immediately. He then called Sun Xiaorui for advice.

Sun Xiaorui's advice was against signing, for similar reasons as Lu Sijia's, believing that Fengmang Film and Television Company was already profitable enough. Adding another potentially profitable star like Zhang Jingwen wasn't necessary, and signing her could turn into a ticking time bomb, bringing trouble to the company, so they might as well not sign her.

That also seemed pretty reasonable, leaving Chen Feng in a bit of indecision.

However, Chen Feng isn't one to be stumped by anything. When in doubt, consult a coin.

As luck would have it, there was a coin right on the coffee table in the living room. He picked it up, thinking heads meant signing, tails meant not signing, and then quickly tossed it into the air, catching it in his hand.
