After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 956 - 509: Playing Mind Games (2)
If the relationship between her brother and father cannot be relied upon, she might have to turn to her uncle.
Zhang Jingwen was contemplating this while waiting for a reply from Chen Feng, but after more than half an hour, there was still no response.
Looks like he's angry.
After some thought, Zhang Jingwen decided not to message Chen Feng again. Instead, she called her brother, telling him that Chen Feng contacted her again, asked her out, and she couldn't take it anymore. She forcefully told her brother to find someone to deal with Chen Feng and stop him from harassing her.
Zhang Ziliang had no way to refuse his precious sister and was also somewhat annoyed by Chen Feng's continued harassment of her, so he agreed to help.
Actually, Chen Feng saw the message from Zhang Jingwen immediately but didn't respond. He wasn't very angry either. Anyway, he was quite sure that Zhang Jingwen was playing tricks, trying to get out of their agreement.
As for contacting him a few days later, that was just an excuse. Believing her would be foolish.
However, Chen Feng wouldn't completely cut her off; he wouldn't notify Lu Sijia to blackball her right away.
He'd wait a few days to see what trick she'd try next.
Around 5:10, Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting returned from work, and Chen Feng messaged Lin Yujiao, inviting her for dinner.
He didn't ask Lin Yujiao to come over early, being considerate of Sun and Wu's feelings. They were the women closest to him now, and although Chen Feng had no intent to become lovers with them, basic respect was necessary.
If he hadn't informed them and invited Lin Yujiao, upon seeing her at home, they'd undoubtedly feel uncomfortable.
Even if they knew in advance, it wouldn't be appropriate for Lin Yujiao to be alone at home with Chen Feng when they weren't around.
In short, No. 8 Villa was their private territory; without proper communication, no fourth party should be brought in.
Upon hearing Chen Feng's invitation, Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting didn't show dissatisfaction. On the contrary, Wu Mengting even inquired about Lin Yujiao's shop.
While Sun Xiaorui went to the kitchen to prepare a couple more dishes, as serving only leftovers from lunch would seem improper.
Ten minutes later, Lin Yujiao arrived.
When contacted by Chen Feng, she was actually with Jin Xinyan at the Lakefront villa.
That afternoon, they went shopping for many store supplies, during which time Jin Xinyan helped her throughout, making them quickly grow closer.
Lin Yujiao wasn't one to hold grudges, and they found they got along quite well the more they talked.
Until Chen Feng messaged her, asking her to come to Red Villa Bay.
Lin Yujiao told Jin Xinyan, who then smiled and suggested, "How about I go with you?"
Lin Yujiao nodded with a smile, saying, "Sure. But are you really ready to meet Mengting and the others?"
Jin Xinyan, recalling Wu Mengting's assertiveness at Fengmang Film and Television, backed down. Her current relationship with Chen Feng was complex and inappropriate to display openly—going there might be humiliating.
So, Lin Yujiao came alone.
She brought a big bag of fruits to formally meet Sun Xiaorui, Chen Feng's cohabiting partner. Their first impressions of each other were good.
They noticed some similarities in each other, sensing they weren't the kind to stir trouble.
During dinner, the three women chatted and laughed, getting along well.
After eating, they sat on the sofa in the living room, watching TV. Wu Mengting hospitably suggested that Lin Yujiao stay the night, but she firmly declined.
Chen Feng stayed with them for about ten minutes before heading upstairs alone.
Once he left, the three women chatted even more freely, until about 10 p.m. when Lin Yujiao finally bade farewell and left.
The next day arrived.
Wang Yuee contacted Zhang Jingwen, saying that there was an audition slot for a big project at Fengmang Film and Television that she could try for, inviting her to the company.
Zhang Jingwen was delighted to hear this and immediately drove to Fengmang Film and Television.
After meeting with Wang Yuee, she elaborated on the project—a near-billion-investment comedy film directed by well-known domestic comedy director Bald Zhang. Several companies are investing and co-producing, with Fengmang Film and Television investing over ten million yuan.
The lead roles are already decided, but other roles are still open for grabs.
Wang Yuee aims to help Zhang Jingwen secure the third female role, not the second.
It's not that Zhang Jingwen isn't fit for the second role; it's just the second female character is a woman in her thirties, which doesn't suit her.
Zhang Jingwen hadn't filmed a movie before, and movies hold a higher prestige compared to TV series. Even stars from hit TV shows aren't necessarily favored by film directors.
If Fengmang Film and Television hadn't invested in this film, Zhang Jingwen wouldn't have had any chance.
She hadn't acted in movies before, and her TV acting had been criticized.
However, with Fengmang being a primary investor, pushing Zhang Jingwen for the third female role shouldn't be hard.
Additionally, Wang Yuee had noted that the third female character is an arrogant and stubborn heiress, much like Zhang Jingwen herself, meaning she'd just need to act naturally.
Wang Yuee didn't put it so bluntly, but that was the point.
Zhang Jingwen understood and didn't deny it, saying, "Let's aim for that role then. Did you tell Lu Sijia about this? Did she agree?"
Wang Yuee replied with some helplessness, "The problem now is, two other female artists at Fengmang Film and Television also want this role—Luo Yingying and Jiang Shumin. President Lu suggested you all compete fairly, audition together, and see who the director chooses."
Hearing this, Zhang Jingwen was displeased and was about to lose her temper when her phone rang. Seeing it was her brother's call, she answered.
"Wenwen, you've gotten me into big trouble this time," Zhang Ziliang sighed and said.
"What are you talking about? What happened?" Zhang Jingwen frowned. Although she was often harsh with her brother, she was still deeply concerned about him.
"You asked me to find someone to talk to Chen Feng, to stop him from bothering you. So, I asked around, and among the people, there was Tao Yaoyang. He agreed to help. But he just called, upset, and told me never to contact him again. When I tried calling back, I realized he had blocked me."
