Inside the private room.
Song YaWen was beaming, and with her natural familiarity, she introduced the two parties.
Her sister was named Liang Wanqiu.
Her ancestral home was Sichuan and Chongqing.
But she had grown up in Macau since she was a child.
After a brief introduction, the four people sat down.
Liang Wanqiu was not as talkative as Song YaWen; since Chen Feng entered, besides introducing herself with a couple of sentences, she hadn't opened her mouth again.
She just quietly watched Chen Feng.
After they sat down.
Song YaWen called a waiter to serve the dishes.
Everything had been pre-ordered.
Anyway, this was a private kitchen, and they ordered one of each signature dish.
Fortunately, the portions were not large.
It was just to try something new.
Song YaWen also ordered two bottles of red wine.
One bottle cost more than eighty thousand.
At any rate, the prestige was established.
It was pure luxury.
From inside out, she exuded the aura of a rich woman.
While waiting for the food, Song YaWen looked at Chen Feng and said with a smile, “Congratulations! You successfully broke out of the death group in the promotion round. Now you are one of the top ten in the Yan Film Academy competition area.”
“Thank you, it was just luck.”
Chen Feng replied modestly.
“Chen Laodi is truly humble. We all watched your competition, and honestly, if I hadn't met you beforehand, I would have really thought you were effeminate.”
“Sister Song can rest assured about that.”
Chen Feng said with a smile, “I absolutely have no abnormal tendencies in my life.”
“Hehe, that’s good then.”
Song YaWen laughed with great delight.
Perhaps she felt she had said too much, so she suddenly turned to Liang Wanqiu beside her and said with a charming smile, “Wanqiu, has your mouth been sealed? Stop pretending, aren't you tired? Say something. I've been talking the whole time; do you think you're a background prop?”
Liang Wanqiu smiled faintly and chuckled softly, “It’s our first meeting, and I don't know what to say. I'll just be a background prop.”
“Get out of here.”
Song YaWen playfully nudged her, “Did I bring you all the way to the capital just to be a background prop? You've seen the person, don't you have any thoughts?”
Liang Wanqiu: “…”
She still didn't speak.
She just pursed her lips, a hint of an exquisitely charming and sweet smile on her face.
Chen Feng's face darkened.
Why was it so awkward?
Was he a gigolo?
He shook his head, casually placed his phone on the table, stood up, and politely said, “Excuse me, I need to use the restroom.”
With that, he walked out.
After he left, Liang Wanqiu suddenly looked at Lin Zu and asked, “What do his parents do?”
“Sister Liang, A Feng's father is a Carpenter; he makes furniture for people in the village. His mother is an employee at the grain and oil store in town. Anyway, as far as I know, his family is quite poor.”
Lin Zu quickly explained, “When I was in school, I never saw him spend a single cent carelessly.”
“But as far as I know, children from that kind of family background usually don't go into the entertainment industry, do they? How can one make a name for themselves in a school like Yan Film Academy without money or connections?”
Liang Wanqiu looked puzzled.
Lin Zu shrugged, “I don't know about that. His family probably lets him make his own decisions; his parents never objected, anyway.”
“Is that so.”
Liang Wanqiu nodded thoughtfully.
Song YaWen leaned close to her ear and whispered, “Wanqiu, I've inquired, that kid didn't have a girlfriend during his school days. He's still single now.”
“Mm.”
Liang Wanqiu hummed softly.
There was no sense of rejection in her expression.
Lin Zu, sitting nearby, was incredibly excited.
He felt there was a chance.
If Liang Wanqiu took a liking to Chen Feng, Chen Feng wouldn't have to struggle for the rest of his life.
He just didn't know if Chen Feng had that kind of luck.
Lin Zu picked up his teacup and drank tea.
Just then, Chen Feng's phone vibrated.
A text message popped up.
Lin Zu subconsciously leaned over and glanced at it.
The next second, however.
“Pfft!”
The tea in his mouth sprayed out directly.
Song YaWen, startled, glared at him annoyed, “What are you doing?”
“Cough cough, cough cough cough.”
Lin Zu coughed violently a few times, his face turning red.
Song YaWen helplessly reached over and patted his back a few times, asking with a hint of concern, “How are you? Are you alright?”
“No… cough cough cough, I'm fine, I'm fine.”
Lin Zu tried to calm down for a moment.
Then he suddenly picked up Chen Feng's phone, stood up, and forced a smile, “Sister Song, Sister Liang, I'm going to take Chen Feng his phone.”
With that, he turned and hurriedly left the private room.
He hadn't gone far when he saw Chen Feng walking back, shaking his hands.
“Azu.”
Lin Zu quickly went to meet him.
“Why did you come out too? To pee?”
Chen Feng asked casually.
“Pee my ass.”
Lin Zu went over, directly handed the phone to Chen Feng, and deliberately lowered his voice, “Azu, you… there was a bank deposit message just now, I accidentally saw it.”
“Bank deposit message?”
Chen Feng took the phone in confusion, turning it on as he asked, “What did you see?”
“I saw the amount of your bank deposit notification.”
“Oh.”
“Azu, the amount is very large.”
“How large is very large?”
“At least six zeros.”
“Huh?”
Chen Feng was stunned and immediately opened the unread message to take a look.
Holy cow!
Bank transfer received: three million.
That much money?
Lin Zu, seeing his stunned expression, quickly pressed, “Azu, where did you get so much money? You didn't do anything illegal, did you?”
“Are you crazy?”
Chen Feng glared at him annoyed, “Do I look like that kind of person?”
“Then how do you explain this? Who would give you three million? You're not a popular star right now, you haven't signed with a management company, and you haven't starred in a hit drama, so who would transfer three million to you?”
Lin Zu's expression was grave.
And his eyes were full of scrutiny.
Mainly because Chen Feng's exposed image before wasn't very good; he was either an Addict or a domestic abuser, so there were a lot of rumors online.
Infamously popular.
If he didn't use some illicit means, how could someone from Chen Feng's family background get three million?
Just as Chen Feng was also looking puzzled, his phone suddenly vibrated again.
A WeChat message popped up.
Mom: Son, are you happy? Mom is at the bank. I just transferred three million to you. Mom said that as long as you successfully advance, I'll give you a big red envelope. Is this red envelope big enough?
Chen Feng: “…”
Sweating profusely.
Such a big red envelope?
This old lady was really something.
She just transferred it just like that.
The key was, how much money had the old couple actually cashed out?
No!
He would go back to his hometown tonight.
At least his grandpa's treasures had to be checked.
They were worth billions.
He didn't know who the old couple had found to sell them to.
Chen Feng closed the message.
He turned his head to look.
He saw Lin Zu with a bewildered, wide-open mouth.
Clearly, he had also seen the message just now.
Chen Feng blinked, “You saw it, my mom transferred it to me.”
“Your… your mom?”
Lin Zu's brain crashed.
He was stunned for a long time before muttering, “Auntie works at the grain and oil store, doesn't she? Now… are grain and oil stores making so much money?”
“Don't worry about that.”
Chen Feng put away his phone and patted Lin Zu's shoulder, “Azu, I actually have a question, can you explain it to me?”
“What question?” Lin Zu looked at him blankly.
“Tell me, what exactly did that Liang Wanqiu come here for?”
“She… wanted to get to know you.”
Chen Feng frowned, “Azu, Liang Wanqiu comes from a prominent family, with a very deep background, and she herself is as beautiful as a fairy. Tell me, why would she take a liking to me?”
“Azu, she hasn't taken a liking to you yet; she just heard about your situation and was quite interested, she just wanted to meet you.”
Lin Zu looked suspicious, “What are you doubting? Could she possibly have ulterior motives for you?”
“It's not doubt.”
Chen Feng shrugged, “A woman of her caliber wouldn't need this method to find a high-quality toy boy. If she wants to see me, she definitely has ulterior motives. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see.”
With that, he patted Lin Zu's shoulder and turned to walk back to the private room.
Lin Zu stood rooted to the spot.
It took him a long time to come back to his senses, muttering, “Damn, changing the subject. This is insane, your mom sends you a red envelope, and it's three million? Are your family really poor or not?”
