Chapter 247: Qin Zhen Forced Into Marriage (Added for the Alliance Leader Named That's Gotta Be It)_2
Chen Feng didn't stand on ceremony, and directly asked her to find Sister Hua for help, to find a suitable film production company to acquire, with a high cost-effectiveness ratio.
Zhang Yuxi happily agreed.
If the big benefactor Chen Feng had his own film production company, then she, an actress with a close relationship with him, would naturally benefit from it.
After contacting Zhang Yuxi, Chen Feng didn't hesitate to contact Hao Xiaolian, Yang Ziyin's agent. Her reputation and status in the entertainment industry were much higher than Sister Hua's, and her network was naturally wider.
Since that's the case, Chen Feng certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity. Moreover, introducing business deals like this, benefiting both parties, wouldn't be a loss for Hao Xiaolian.
Chen Feng explained everything directly through text, and not long after, Hao Xiaolian replied, indicating no problem, and that she would get back to him once she had all the information.
Chen Feng expressed his thanks, and Hao Xiaolian responded with a smile emoji.
After this exchange, the two tacitly didn't continue the conversation or waste any more time.
After finishing his business, Chen Feng replied to Liu Ying, who had sent him a message in the morning.
Recently, she kept finding excuses to come to her aunt's villa at Red Villa Bay and sometimes even stayed over. So, when Chen Feng returned yesterday, she knew that night because the lights were on in No. 8 Villa.
But she waited until this morning to send Chen Feng a message, asking when he was returning home, and then said she missed him, acting as if she were crazy in love with him, as if infatuated with this old classmate.
While he was in Europe, Liu Ying sent him messages daily, occasionally including some melancholy, poetic phrases, and coquettish love sentiments, creating the image of a deep-seated lonely woman.
This left Chen Feng speechless. He even thought about exposing her directly, but in the end, decided against it.
They were both old classmates, and now that they had been intimate, he couldn't be too harsh on her.
Also, although her WeChat harassment annoyed him a bit, and her façade of infatuation felt hypocritical to him, Chen Feng, as a man, the same one who once chased her desperately and couldn't have her, still derived some enjoyment.
The more obsessed he was with her back then, the more he enjoyed it now.
This was perhaps human nature!
So, Chen Feng planned to continue playing along with her.
[I'm back. I'll find time to see you.]
[That's great! You have no idea how I've spent this past month! It was really tough for me! Without you around, I feel like I'm not myself anymore. I really miss you, Chen Feng, could you meet me now, please?]
Seeing these words, Chen Feng felt a bit toothache, but more so, a sense of vanity was satisfied.
[I'm busy now, another day]

Seeing this, Chen Feng shook his head slightly, not responding further. The once cute and slightly arrogant class flower had now turned into his fawning green tea girl.
It could only be said that life and fate are indeed mysterious.
Liu Ying sent a few more WeChat messages in succession, but Chen Feng couldn't be bothered to open them. He put down his phone and lay back in the rocking chair to take a short nap.
About half an hour later, after a brief rest, Chen Feng got up from the rocking chair and went to the practice room to meditate and train.
Soon, an entire afternoon passed.
By around half-past five, Chen Feng came downstairs and heard Wu Mengting say that Wang Xuelin had just called, inviting them to Fuman Building for drinks tonight. She had already booked the table. The time was set for seven o'clock.
Upon hearing this news, Chen Feng felt a bit pleased but also a little embarrassed. He was quite aware that Qin Zhen didn't have much money now, but since his girlfriend had called, he couldn't refuse to go.
So, the three waited until half-past six before heading out.
Fuman Building wasn't far from Red Villa Bay, and the three arrived a few minutes before seven o'clock.
Entering the booked private room, they only saw Wang Xuelin sitting alone; Qin Zhen was not there.
"Where's Qin Zhen?" Chen Feng asked naturally.
Wang Xuelin, with a slight pout, replied, "He wants to break up with me."
"What!"
Sun and Wu both exclaimed, and Chen Feng was quite surprised as well.
"Why?" Chen Feng asked directly.
Wang Xuelin, a bit aggrieved, said, "I wanted to get engaged with him, but he said he needed to think it over carefully. Do you think he's planning to dump me?"
Chen Feng and the others exchanged glances and didn't know how to respond.
Wang Xuelin saw this and directly asked, "Chen Feng, you're his best friend, you should know him well. Tell me honestly, does he really love me?"
Caught off guard, Chen Feng gave a wry smile and said, "I really don't know much about what's going on between you two. When he was in the army, you know, I almost lost contact with him. You were in a long-distance relationship then, which lasted a few years. I think he definitely has feelings for you and certainly cares for you, otherwise, how could it last for years?
But I have to say, when you suggested breaking up with him back then, it really hurt him. In my opinion, his current hesitation to get engaged to you is largely due to you breaking up with him before."
Wang Xuelin stared at Chen Feng for a while, finally admitting, "You truly are his best friend, knowing him so well. He more or less expressed the same, saying he lacks a sense of security in this relationship. But I'm really misunderstood because you all know how tough long-distance relationships are, let alone he was in a confidential department, often unable to be reached.
You can imagine our situation back then. When I missed him, it's one thing he wasn't by my side, but I couldn't even reach him; do you know how painful that was?
So, in the end, I couldn't bear it and wanted him to resign quickly, but he refused. I got angry and proposed a breakup, and he immediately agreed without any attempt to save the relationship. Was that breakup really all my fault?"
Chen Feng and the others felt quite moved by this.
Chen Feng said, "He definitely has feelings for you, otherwise, given his character of never looking back, he wouldn't agree to reunite with you this time. But I think you shouldn't push him too hard. You've only reconciled for over a month, right? Rushing to get engaged will scare him. He's afraid of being hurt again, maybe even deeper. His reluctance to agree is his way of being responsible for himself and for this relationship with you. You should give him more time."
Wu Mengting also echoed, "Yes, marriage is a big deal, it's normal for him to be cautious. You really mustn't force him, or it might backfire."
Chen Feng picked up his phone and said, "Shall I call him over? You two can have a good conversation, calmly and peacefully."
Wang Xuelin had been waiting for this, and with a touch of bashfulness, she quickly nodded.
Chen Feng felt speechless inside, but he still picked up his phone to call Qin Zhen. After explaining the situation, Qin Zhen wasn't willing to come, but he couldn't refuse Chen Feng's persuasion, so he finally came over reluctantly.
