After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 907 - 485: Formidable Rival in Love
Lu Sijia and Jin Xinyan didn't get along well, mainly because of the previous collaboration on the project "Green Jade Case".
Originally, Jin Xinyan was completely unqualified to get involved in the project, let alone invest in it.
But since Chen Feng, the boss, permitted it, Jin Xinyan joined the "Green Jade Case" project through the back door.
If that were all, despite her poor impression of Jin Xinyan who had clearly gotten involved with Chen Feng through the back door, their relationship wouldn't have soured.
It was afterward that Jin Xinyan, as a minor investor, kept meddling in the project, and often wandered around Fengmang Film and Television Company, inquiring about company operations as if it were her own, later even clashing with Lu Sijia over finance auditing in the "Green Jade Case" crew.
The reason was Jin Xinyan suspected that the set's prop team might have taken kickbacks or intentionally overcharged for some props, and the prop team belonged to Fengmang Film and Television's production department directly managed by Lu Sijia. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Her suspicion of the props department indirectly questioned Lu Sijia as the general manager.
Later, Jin Xinyan superstitiously suspected kickbacks in the crew's material procurement staff. Not long ago she completely rejected a proposal for "Green Jade Case" publicity, and even suggested outsourcing promotion work to those professional public relations companies, essentially belittling Fengmang Film's planning and promotion departments.
And these two departments happen to be under the direct management of Lu Sijia.
Lu Sijia already disliked her reputation and personality, and with Jin Xinyan's repeated offenses into her management domain, it's no wonder she had a bad impression of her.
The two hadn't had a face-to-face argument, but there was a clear mutual dislike between them.
From Lu Sijia's words, Jin Xinyan could sense deep malice.
Her relationship with Chen Feng, the boss of Fengmang Film and Television, if not already a known fact within the company, is at least suspected by more than half of the people.
As the general manager, Lu Sijia surely understood the relationship between Chen Feng and her.
Now, Lu Sijia deliberately talked in front of Chen Feng, clearly intending to embarrass her and drive a wedge between her and Chen Feng.
Jin Xinyan isn't foolish; she immediately suppressed her initial tension without reacting to Lu Sijia's words or explaining anything to Chen Feng.
She completely ignored Lu Sijia's remarks and instead cheerfully greeted Chen Feng: "Brother Feng, why are you out tonight? Didn't you say you'd be staying in?"
Her manner of completely ignoring Lu Sijia made Lu Sijia's face turn slightly blue with anger, but helplessly unable to erupt, she stood awkwardly on the side.
Jin Xinyan almost has daily contact with Chen Feng, though he doesn't always respond to her.
The last time Chen Feng replied to her was three days ago when she was in Beijing asking what he was doing, and Chen Feng said he was staying home.
Chen Feng didn't respond to Jin Xinyan's question, but asked back: "When did you come back?"
Jin Xinyan quickly replied: "I came back from Beijing this afternoon, and tonight Lu Lu dragged me out shopping. Oh, by the way, you've met Lu Lu and Zhangbao. This is Kang Cheng, Lu Lu's cousin. I just met him today."
"Hello, everyone."
At this time, this guy named Kang Cheng stepped forward and greeted Chen Feng and the women on his side.
Admittedly, this guy's appearance is quite good, aged twenty-five or six, with a height of over six feet, wearing stylish black-framed glasses, dressed well, handsome, upright, and with an outstanding temperament.
Out of basic courtesy, Chen Feng nodded slightly to return the greeting, saying "Hello" in return.
"Chen Feng, let me introduce my brother to you. A few months ago, he just returned with an MBA degree from Oxford University in Gentleman Country. He currently serves as the assistant president for the Asia-Pacific region of a multinational corporation. Bro, this is Chen Feng, Xinyan's... friend."
Huang Xiaolu came over, introducing her cousin to Chen Feng with a hint of pride.
"Chen Feng, nice to meet you."
Kang Cheng smiled warmly, nodding at Chen Feng, then turned to Wu Mengting and the other three women, also smiled and confidently greeted them: "And to the ladies, it's an honor to meet you on this beautiful night."
Out of courtesy, including Wu Mengting, all smiled and nodded in return.
Admittingly, Kang Cheng indeed has considerable charisma, handsome and articulate, with an air of a well-educated elite expat, naturally closing the gap with women.
Among the four women on Chen Feng's side, Lin Wan obviously found him quite agreeable, even somewhat attracted to him; such outstanding men aren't something encountered casually in real life.
So, Lin Wan immediately smiled and replied, "Thank you for the compliment."
Kang Cheng's gaze mostly lingered on Wu Mengting, followed by Sun Xiaorui, as they were the two most beautiful and enchanting among the four.
Of course, his gaze was natural, and when he looked, it didn't make people feel offended or uncomfortable, showcasing his skill.
Now seeing Lin Wan engage proactively, he was very happy and was worried about how to get to know them, and continued smiling: "I'm speaking the truth, not mere flattery. Don't you all realize how beautiful and charming you are?"
Such flattering words could seem awkward from others, but from him they sounded natural and sincere, devoid of slickness.
Lin Wan, hearing this, couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Is this straightforward flattering style something you learned abroad?"
Kang Cheng nodded earnestly and said, "You guessed it right. Abroad, besides learning professional knowledge on business management, I also learned how to appease women. Oxford teaches this specifically as well."
Lin Wan widened her eyes slightly and asked, "Really?"
Kang Cheng suddenly laughed and said, "Of course it's... fake."
Lin Wan glared at him, and everyone present except Chen Feng couldn't help but laugh.
Even Chen Feng had to admire this guy's skills in chatting up and talking with women; in just a short while, he'd become familiar with their side, quickly closing the distance.
However, clearly Chen Feng was somewhat displeased.
Although Lin Wan wasn't his woman, and interacting harmoniously with others wouldn't make him jealous, the fact that the guy was chatting and laughing with women from his side felt almost like stealing his thunder.
Moreover, Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui were his women; they were so beautiful, and Chen Feng doesn't believe this guy isn't interested in them privately.
Being men, although Kang Cheng hid it well, Chen Feng could still sense this guy isn't entirely trustworthy.
"Alright. We should leave now. Hope to see each other again if there's a chance."
Chen Feng directly interrupted the seemingly friendly exchange, planning to part ways with them.
