After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 950 - 506: Final Ultimatum (Part 2)
But still, even if you become famous, what then? At most you'll be the next Yang Ziyin. In the eyes of ordinary people, a big star like her shines brightly, but we should all know, a star like her is really nothing. The truly powerful ones are always those wealthy people and the big shots behind the scenes.
Yang Ziyin seems to be high and mighty to ordinary people, but I know that before she became famous, she was kept by someone, and even after becoming famous, some big shots behind the scenes still named her to drink and sleep with them. These are the unwritten rules of their industry, or rather the survival rules. In those people's eyes, she's just a high-class plaything.
So, my dear sister, even if you could become as famous as Yang Ziyin, what would it matter? At best, you're a superficially glamorous actor. To those truly wealthy and powerful people, becoming a star is actually lowering your own worth."
"Alright. You've said this several times before. Stop trying to convince me." Zhang Jingwen interrupted him impatiently, then said, "Now, the Fengmang Film and Television Company I've signed with, the boss is Chen Feng, who used to be one of my fans and has always liked me. Otherwise, he wouldn't have offered such good terms for me to sign with them this time. Now that I've signed with his company, he's conveniently trying to pursue me. The call just now was from him, wanting to invite me out, and I'm troubled about not knowing how to refuse."
Hearing this, Zhang Ziliang was unsurprisingly furious, and angrily said, "That rascal is like a toad dreaming of swan meat, actually thinking of hitting on you, I'll get someone to deal with him immediately. His name is Chen Feng, right?"
As he spoke, Zhang Ziliang was about to reach for his phone.
"Brother, wait." Zhang Jingwen quickly grabbed him, saying, "Don't act recklessly. After all, he's my boss now, and I've heard he has a strong background and is friends with that Tao Yaoyang."
"Tao Yaoyang?" Zhang Ziliang frowned slightly; he's not particularly familiar with Tao Yaoyang, but they've met a few times and exchanged greetings, so they know each other.
The circles Tao Yaoyang associates with are undoubtedly more prestigious than Zhang Ziliang's. After all, his father is more impressive, and Tao is in finance and capital, mainly relying on connections and intelligence, whereas Zhang Ziliang is barely in the industry, relying mostly on tangible services and goods, which sounds lower tier.
"How did he meet this Chen Feng? What's Chen Feng's background, anyway?"
Sure enough, hearing Chen Feng knew Tao Yaoyang, Zhang Ziliang quickly calmed down.
Zhang Jingwen secretly pouted but fearing her brother might get into trouble, she recounted what Wang Yuee had said previously to her brother.
After hearing it, Zhang Ziliang was silent for a long time before he uncertainly said, "I'll ask around about this. Wait for a bit, I'll make some calls."
After Zhang Ziliang left, Zhang Jingwen was speechless for a while. It turns out her family's background seems less impressive compared to Chen Feng's. At least her brother was clearly intimidated.
She ran on the treadmill in the gym for over ten minutes and did some stretching for a few minutes. Seeing her brother hadn't come back, she went to her room to shower and change clothes.
More than half an hour passed, and it was almost ten o'clock. She came downstairs after dressing up, arriving at the living room without seeing her brother.
Her father, being a real estate company boss, was naturally busy and had gone to the office. Her mother, as a wealthy lady, had her social circles, either having tea and getting beauty treatments or playing cards and mahjong, also was out all day.
Feeling somewhat bored, she sat on the wide sofa in the living room and watched TV for over half an hour before finally seeing her brother come downstairs.
"Brother, did you find anything out?"
Zhang Jingwen stood up from the sofa, calling towards Zhang Ziliang.
Zhang Ziliang nodded gravely at her without answering her immediately. After coming downstairs and sitting beside her, he finally said, "I asked around with several friends, and the conclusion is that this Chen Feng is not to be trifled with. It's no wonder he can be friends with someone like Tao Yaoyang. I heard that the big shot of the capital circle, Huo Jindong, also values him a lot and has a good relationship with him."
"Who is Huo Jindong?" Zhang Jingwen queried with some confusion.
If anyone else had asked that, Zhang Ziliang would have been dismissive, but since it was his own sister, he patiently explained who Huo Jindong was and then emphasized, "With a capital mogul like Huo Jindong having a good relationship with him, there's no doubt Chen Feng's background is incredibly deep. So you've signed with the right company. At least, with his backing, you won't suffer in the entertainment industry."
Zhang Jingwen retorted ungratefully, "I'm asking you to find a way to reject his pursuit of me. Why don't you join me for a meal with him and talk nicely to persuade him to give up on the idea."
Zhang Ziliang glanced his sister up and down, smiled and said, "Wenwen, you're not young anymore. Chen Feng is still quite decent. Although I've heard he's divorced, he doesn't have any kids and is currently single. Why not consider him? If he becomes my brother-in-law, I won't object."
Hearing this, Zhang Jingwen's eyes widened in anger, stomping her feet, "You really are my brother! I'm asking you to help reject him, and now you're trying to set us up."
Zhang Ziliang sincerely said, "I'm doing what's best for you. You're going to find a boyfriend eventually, and it's rare to come across such a well-off and well-connected man who's also pursuing you. If you reject him and miss out, it would be a pity."
Zhang Jingwen arrogantly replied, "I don't care, you have to help me refuse him. You know Tao Yaoyang, right? Or anyone else who can talk with Chen Feng. Let them mediate to stop him from targeting me."
This was Zhang Jingwen's plan. Her brother knew many reputable individuals, including Tao Yaoyang, who was friends with Chen Feng. If they helped mediate, maybe her situation could be ambiguously handled.
But now, it seemed Zhang Ziliang favored Chen Feng, wanting her to accept him, making her feel like she was shooting herself in the foot.
"My silly sister, diamond bachelors like Chen Feng are hard to find." Zhang Ziliang earnestly advised, "What's rarer is that he's your fan and is pursuing you. Plus, he's now your company's boss, so if you become his girlfriend, he'll definitely push to make you famous. With backing from an industry mogul like him, you'll inevitably shine bright. Haven't you always wanted to be a big star? This is your golden opportunity."
For a moment, Zhang Jingwen was moved, unable to utter any refusals.
Zhang Ziliang, seeing her hesitance, continued, "Since you just signed with his company, as your brother, it's necessary for me to invite him for a meal, to meet and ask him to take care of you in the future. You should call him."
Zhang Jingwen thought for a moment and then said, "Alright then. I'll call him, and you can talk to him." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
After Zhang Ziliang nodded, Zhang Jingwen took out her phone and dialed Chen Feng.
Chen Feng was slightly delighted receiving the call from Zhang Jingwen and answered it immediately.
But soon he was disappointed, hearing the other introduce himself as Zhang Jingwen's brother, inviting him for a meal with a very polite tone. Chen Feng was confused.
Chen Feng had knowledge of Zhang Jingwen's family background, her father being a famous real estate developer in Xiu Zhou, and her brother wouldn't be simple either. If her brother knew about the verbal agreement between him and his sister, he certainly wouldn't be inviting him so politely.
He couldn't figure out what Zhang Jingwen and her brother were up to, but he was certain Zhang Jingwen was playing tricks and didn't want to fulfill the agreement.
