After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 961 - 512: It’s Her Good Fortune

Zhang Jingwen ultimately chose to compromise.

This is the fate of countless peers in the industry. To make a name here, you have to keep compromising. If you want to become famous, you must endure the unendurable, voluntarily bow down to powerful people and big investors to gain their support and care.

And Chen Feng is undoubtedly such a powerful person, her big investor.

If she wants to become famous, she doesn't need to bow to him, but she must at least keep her word and fulfill their previous verbal agreement.

This seems to be the fate of every female artist who wants to be famous, and she is no exception.

Outside the window, the round moon hung in the sky, her mood like the moonlight scattering on the lake...

Chen Feng didn't leave East Lake Garden until almost noon the next day. He returned to No. 8 Villa and called Lu Sijia, informing her to lift the ban on Zhang Jingwen.

When Lu Sijia asked the reason, Chen Feng said that Wu Mengting opposed it last night and was very angry. After thinking it over, he decided to prioritize the company's overall situation and interests and not to hold grudges against Zhang Jingwen.

Lu Sijia actually believed him.

Because this morning, Wu Mengting came to her office specifically to talk about Zhang Jingwen, hoping to directly give Zhang Jingwen the third female lead in that comedy film. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

In the end, Lu Sijia certainly didn't agree, because her boss Chen Feng wanted to ban her, and she had no choice.

From her point of view, after Wu Mengting hit a wall with her, she would, as usual, go to Chen Feng to complain and argue, forcing Chen Feng to compromise.

Thus, it shows that Chen Feng, as a boss, really cares about Wu Mengting and values her opinions greatly.

This left her, the general manager of the company, feeling uncomfortable.

But there was nothing she could do about it. After all, Wu Mengting and he had a thing going on, and they were still living together.

Then, Chen Feng openly called Wu Mengting and told her that he had thought it through and realized that what she said last night was very right. He shouldn't have acted on impulse, so he wouldn't be banning Zhang Jingwen.

Wu Mengting didn't doubt him and was very happy, genuinely believing that her words last night had enlightened Chen Feng and made him see the light.

Having resolved this matter, Chen Feng at least gave her an explanation.

Zhang Jingwen could not keep her word, but he had always been one to follow through on his promises.

At noon, when Sun Wu came back for lunch, Wu Mengting was still in a good mood and said a lot to Chen Feng, stating that Zhang Jingwen is a promising talent, and since Chen Feng no longer held any prejudices against her, she planned to tailor an ancient costume drama for her. She asked if Chen Feng had any objections.

Chen Feng certainly had no objections and readily agreed. However, he still emphasized that the investment should not be too high, trying to keep it within fifty million.

Wu Mengting gladly accepted.

...

Zhang Jingwen didn't wake up until after two in the afternoon. She opened her eyes and saw no one beside her. Turning over, there was no one on the other side either, and the whole room was silent.

She sat up from the bed, her brows furrowing involuntarily, revealing her smooth back. She searched around and finally found her T-shirt on the floor beside the bed. After putting it on, she lifted the air conditioner quilt and got out of bed, furrowing her brows again, taking quite a while to adjust.

She went over to open the curtains, and the afternoon sunlight streamed in, and the balcony was empty.

Opening the door, the corridor was silent as well. She went downstairs along the stairs, and the living room was empty too.

That bastard really left without saying a word.

She went over to pick up her phone from the coffee table and turned it on. There were quite a few missed calls, mainly from her brother Zhang Ziliang, and two from her mom.

Zhang Jingwen immediately called her mom. Upon connecting, there was the sound of mahjong tiles clattering away on the other end.

"Mom, did you call me for something?" Zhang Jingwen asked directly.

"Nothing much, just wondering if you'll come home today?"

"I'm not going back today. I still have work."

"It's always work. Remember what I told you last time?"

"What is it?"

"What is it? You really forgot. Didn't I tell you last week? I wanted you to attend a young people's gathering at Tiansheng Hotel. The gathering is tomorrow at noon. Just report your name when you arrive."

Zhang Jingwen became a bit impatient, "Mom, you know what I'm like. I'm not going to those random gatherings."

"What do you mean random gatherings? It's a very proper young people's gathering. Each young person attending either comes from a family with some assets or from a prestigious family. They're all outstanding members of the younger generation in Xiu Zhou. It's good for you to go and make some friends."

"I have something to do tomorrow at noon, so I can't go."

"What do you have to do? You're not filming now. Even if you have something, you should take some time to go. I've already signed you up, and it's not an opportunity everyone can get. You must go."

"I'm not going."

Just as Zhang Jingwen was about to hang up, she heard her mom loudly say, "If you don't go, you might as well not recognize me as your mother. Besides, I'll have your dad pick you up and lock you at home."

"Mom, aren't you being unreasonable?"

"Who's unreasonable? From the beginning, none of us were for you becoming a star. It was you who were being unreasonable, so we had to agree. Now we just want you to attend a young people's gathering, and you're making excuses. It's not like we're setting you up on a blind date."

"Fine, fine, I'll go." Zhang Jingwen couldn't stand her mom's nagging. In her family of four, she feared her mom's nagging the most.

"Alright. That's settled then. Haha, I won, all one suit, good luck, haha, pay up. Wenwen, we'll talk later, I'll contact you tomorrow."

After saying this, her mom directly hung up the phone.

After a moment of speechlessness, Zhang Jingwen called her brother Zhang Ziliang.

"Wenwen, what's going on? I've called you so many times, and you didn't answer. If you hadn't called back, I would have reported you missing. Where are you now?"

Zhang Ziliang on the other end asked anxiously. He called three times last night and five times today, a total of eight calls.

"I'm fine. My phone broke last night, and I didn't realize it. I just got a new one now."

The excuse was rather weak. Of course, Zhang Ziliang didn't believe it, but since his sister was fine, he didn't dwell on it and instead asked, "Did you contact Chen Feng yet?"

Zhang Jingwen had already thought of a reason and immediately said, "Yeah, I called him. I'm going to accept his proper pursuit, and he's taking me to dinner tonight."

"He's really pursuing you?" Zhang Ziliang was skeptical.

"What else?" Zhang Jingwen questioned.

Zhang Ziliang hesitated, then directly asked, "He's not planning to make a pass at you, is he?"

"No," Zhang Jingwen denied. In fact, he hadn't. It was a transaction, not an illicit deal, which was a fundamental difference.

"Brother, you know my personality. And, as you said, our family isn't easy to mess with. No matter how powerful he is, he can't take advantage of me."

After saying that, Zhang Jingwen couldn't help but add in her mind: Unless I'm willing to let him.
