Chapter 701 Convincing Parents
Chen Feng returned to Villa No. 8 just in time for dinner.
At the dinner table, neither woman asked him where he had been.
After eating, Sun Xiaorui went to wash the dishes. Wu Mengting took him to the sofa in the living room to sit down, and then asked him in Xiuzhou dialect: "Did you go to see Li Liqin at noon?"
Chen Feng nodded: "Well, I went to find her. I have made it clear to her that from now on, we will be ordinary friends."
Hearing what Chen Feng said, Wu Mengting couldn't help but smile on her face: "As long as you can do what you say."
Chen Feng also smiled and said: "Under normal circumstances, I will definitely do what I say. Especially after I make a promise to the people I care about, I will definitely fulfill it. You see, I have done what I said, so you should also understand my current difficulties."
Wu Mengting raised her eyebrows. asked : "What difficulties do you have?"
Chen Feng smiled slightly and said: "It's just that I don't want to get engaged or married to you so soon."
Wu Mengting immediately said with a straight face: "You can do this Needless to say, I made it very clear to you last time. This matter mainly depends on our parents. If you can convince your parents to postpone our engagement, I have no objection.”
Chen Feng smiled and asked, "Can you tell my parents about this and try to persuade them?"
Wu Mengting rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Chen Feng smiled when he saw this, and then said sternly: "Since you said that, you have to keep your word. If I succeed in convincing my parents to postpone it, don’t you regret it then?”
Wu Mengting was surprised and asked quickly: “Are you sure you can convince your parents?”
Chen Feng shook his head: "I'm not sure, but I have to give it a try."
Wu Mengting felt relieved and said in a relaxed tone: "Okay, you go and try it."
Chen Feng added: "In addition, for the other women, I plan to take it slow, and you have to give it a try." I have some time."
Wu Mengting frowned slightly, but in the end she did not say anything against it and just said: "Then you have to. Give me a time."
Chen Feng said firmly: "I can't give you a specific time. In short, I will definitely end our relationship with them after we get married."
If the two really get married, Chen Feng does intend to accept it. After all, he is still a relatively traditional man.
If he really becomes Wu Mengting's husband, his moral concepts and traditional ethics will not allow him to engage in male-female relations outside.
Chen Feng's answer was barely satisfactory to Wu Mengting, so she didn't say anything more, just said: "You just have to know what you think."
Chen Feng saw her expressing her attitude like this. , I was secretly relieved in my heart. Of course it would be best not to argue with her.
The two of them stopped talking about this topic. Instead, they turned on the TV to watch TV together and chatted about the company.
Because "The Sapphire Case" is already a hit drama and has the potential to be a hit drama, the company plans to launch another costume drama while the iron is hot.
The script of this drama is still written by Wu Mengting herself. The first draft has been completed. It will take up to ten and a half days to revise and finalize it before it can be submitted to the company for review.
Of course, this includes the boss Chen Feng. Wu Mengting said that after the draft was finalized, he would be the first to let him see it.
The background of this script is still the Song Dynasty, but "The Sapphire Case" is set in the Southern Song Dynasty, while the new script is set in the Northern Song Dynasty.
It is also a drama with a female protagonist. The heroine is tentatively played by Yang Ziying. Of course, whether she will actually play the leading role depends on the outcome of the negotiations between the two parties. If the salary she wants is too high, they will As a producer, of course I would not agree.
Yang Ziying herself has read the first draft of the previous part of the script. She has expressed to Wu Mengting that she likes the script very much and has also strongly expressed her willingness to play the heroine.
If there were no big surprises, of course the heroine would still be hers.
If the second script written by Wu Mengting is made into a TV series and becomes a hit, then she will undoubtedly become a gold medal screenwriter and producer.
Moreover, Chen Feng felt that she really had the talent and ability in this area.
This is also a sign that Wu Mengting is superior to other peers. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also very capable.
When Sun Xiaorui finished washing the dishes and came over, the two ended their discussion about the company and the new script, and watched TV together seriously.
It happened to be news time at this time, and the three of them watched the news for more than half an hour. After that, they watched a variety show. It was not until "The Sapphire Case" started that the three of them watched this TV series produced by their own company. .
Although the three of them have already seen it, they all still seem to be interested in it at this time.
Especially Wu Mengting, the screenwriter and producer, was the most focused.
After the episode was aired, during the commercial break, Chen Feng first sighed: "Zhang Yuxi acted very well, and Yang Wenqi, she had no acting experience before, but she also has good acting experience in this TV series Her performance is worthy of our company’s praise.”
Wu Mengting commented: “She. She is so beautiful, but the character in this drama is not very likable, otherwise she would be more popular now. However, even so, she is not famous now, and she already has fans on Weibo in just a few days. Five or six hundred thousand, these are real fans, our company did not spend money to promote or buy fans.”
"Oh, are you so popular?" Chen Feng was a little surprised.
Sun Xiaorui helped explain: "One is because "The Sapphire Case" is now popular, and the second female lead she plays is also popular, and the other is that she is too beautiful, and many fans are attracted by it. Because of her peerless beauty. If the female duo in the play were not very likable and even disgusted many viewers, she would definitely have more fans."
"There will be more fans. It’s a mistake. What she mainly wants now is to let the audience recognize her. You know who she is. The rest depends on her future works and she will gradually gain fame." Wu Mengting nodded and said, "Yes, we all think highly of her. She has just become famous, and many brands want to sign contracts with her. Of course, they are only small brands, but this also shows her commercial value.”
“Then she is signed. Brand endorsement?" Chen Feng asked.
"Not yet. After all, their current quotations are not very high. I believe that after "The Sapphire Case" continues to be popular, her fame will become more and more famous and her commercial value will become higher and higher."
"That's true."
......
The three chatted until today's second episode started.
After watching today's two episodes of "The Sapphire Case", it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and the three of them went upstairs to sleep together.
Chen Feng walked in the front. After reaching the second floor, Chen Feng walked to the door of his bedroom, turned to look at them, and asked with a smile: "Which of you will sleep with me tonight?"
Sun Xiaorui had a look on his face when he heard this. Hong lowered his head, then hurriedly opened the door to his bedroom, walked in, closed it, and locked it with a click. This made Chen Feng a little speechless. This was necessary. We just slept together last night.
Wu Mengting gave him a big roll of her eyes, snorted coldly at him, and walked past him.
Chen Feng smiled when he saw this, opened the door and walked in.
He had just fought 600 rounds with Li Liqin, a sultry girl, this afternoon. He really didn't want to think about it tonight and planned to recharge his batteries.
And what he just said to them on purpose, apart from being a bit of a prank, was also to advance before retreating.
Because he knew very well that if he asked this in front of the two of them, neither of them would feel ashamed, and they would definitely not take the initiative to come and sleep with him.
In this way, of course he would not have to worry about which of them to sleep with at night.
So, Chen Feng is not stupid, but a clever guy.
He walked into the room, took off his clothes and threw them away, then lay down on the bed, covered himself with a quilt, and fell asleep in a short while.
The next morning, after a night's rest, he regained his health. When he woke up, he was energetic again.
This made him very happy, because it showed that his body had strong recovery ability and was in good health.
Since getting terminally ill, nothing has made him happier than this.
The weather is good today. After a simple wash, Chen Feng went out for a morning jog as usual.
After running around the community twice, he was originally worried that Sun Yanhong would show up to harass him, but he didn't, which made him secretly relieved.
Although Chen Feng is not used to Sun Yanhong, an old pervert, if she dares to harass him, he will definitely teach her how to behave, but it is better to do less than to do more, so that he can exercise quietly.
After morning exercise, I went home to take a shower, and then went downstairs to have breakfast with the two girls. The days were so regular and orderly.
After the three of them had breakfast together, the two women went to work, while Chen Feng stayed at home and enjoyed life.
Today, Chen Feng did not immediately watch short videos and read novels like before. Instead, he first took the initiative to send a video invitation to his mother.
At this moment, I guess my mother is already working in her own small supermarket.
Sure enough, when the video was connected, she saw her mother standing in the supermarket, with supermarket shelves in the background.
"Why did you suddenly send me a video? Do you have something to tell me?"
Zhao Xiaolan looked disgusted, which made Chen Feng feel a little tired, and asked: "You Is there anyone else around? I have something to tell you."
Zhao Xiaolan said: "At this time, there are not many customers in the supermarket. I was just doing the shopping. If you have anything to say, just tell me. ”
After hearing this, Chen Feng had no scruples, and he said directly: "I don't want to get engaged to Meng Ting at the end of the year..."
"Stop." Zhao Xiaolan immediately interrupted Chen Feng's words with a firm tone. Said, "This matter is not negotiable, I will We've already made an agreement with Tingting's parents, how can we go back on our word? Besides, you're not young anymore, and Tingting is a sensible and well-behaved person, so she must get engaged and married as soon as possible."
Chen Feng said with a sigh. : "Mom, it's not that I don't want to make a reservation with her at the end of the year. Before I got married, a fortune teller told me that I was destined to have three major catastrophes. The first catastrophe was when I was nine years old. I almost drowned that year, but my uncle saved me.
The second calamity was when I was thirty years old. The fortune teller said that I It is better to be quiet for a year and not to do big things that will affect your life. If you want me to get engaged now, you have just violated this taboo."
"Nonsense," Zhao Xiaolan retorted, "Which fortune teller. Hu Lilie? ”
Chen Feng said quickly: "Mom, don't believe it. I didn't believe it at first either. I was divorced at that time, and I was walking around the street alone and lost my soul. Then I met this guy who was setting up a stall on the roadside. Fortune teller.
He grabbed me and said he could read my fortune for free. I thought he was a liar and wanted to leave. He asked me, is your surname Chen? Not two brothers? Are you a sheep? Is your brother a snake?
I was shocked by him, and then I stopped and asked him to read my fortune. He said that I will have three major calamities in my life, and he predicted it when I was nine years old, and then I will be thirty this year. "
"Is this true?" Zhao Xiaolan expressed doubts.
“Really, can I lie to you?”
Chen Feng said this and added in his heart: A white lie is not a lie.
"How can there be such a powerful fortune teller? You just happened to meet him." Zhao Xiaolan still didn't believe it.
“It’s true.” Chen Feng said, pretending to be aggrieved. “At that time, I was half-convinced about this fortune teller, but he later said that I would make a fortune this year. I laughed at that time because I The total net worth is only two to three thousand yuan, how can I make a fortune? As a result, just after I separated from the fortune teller, Fortunately, I passed by a lottery shop. I was so excited that I bought a lottery ticket worth more than 200 yuan, and then I won the jackpot. "
"So, the reason why you bought the lottery ticket and won the jackpot was because of it. Is this a fortune teller?”
Chen Feng had a nose and eyes, and Zhao Xiaolan couldn’t help but believe it.
"Yes, otherwise why would I suddenly have so much money to buy lottery tickets? And I didn't buy lottery tickets very often before."
After Zhao Xiaolan was silent for a while, he asked again: "What else did the fortune teller say? What?"
Chen Feng said quickly: "He also said that it is best not to remarry before I am thirty-two, otherwise it will greatly weaken my fortune and even bring bad luck to me."
< br>Zhao Xiaolan snorted coldly: "You added this yourself, right?"
"Of course not, it was the fortune teller who said it. He said that I was destined to marry late and have children late, and he also said that I was thirty years old I started to have peach blossoms, and my peach blossom luck was very strong, but there were good peach blossoms and bad peach blossoms. If I couldn’t distinguish between them, it would bring me a lot of trouble and I would owe a lot of romantic debts.”
Zhao Xiaolan snorted again: "He's right. Don't you owe a lot of romantic debt now?"
Chen Feng smiled and said: "Mom, this fortune teller is really amazing. I have to believe it. So, before you are thirty-two, you should stop working on my marriage."
Zhao Xiao. Lan frowned and complained: "If this is true, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Chen Feng smiled bitterly: "If I told you before, would you believe it?"
Zhao Xiaolan After being silent for a while, he said angrily: "I don't believe you even if you tell me this now."
"Mom, you really have to believe some things. Just like I suddenly won the lottery jackpot at the end of last year, and then founded a company. Suddenly my whole life was reversed. It was like a dream. I was still poor at the end of last year. Even though I'm down and out, I'm happy here in Xiuzhou I can’t live anymore, but now I live in a villa and drive a luxury car. Tell me, if I told you last year that I would live like this this year, you wouldn’t believe me, right?”
