Not long after, the Maserati drove into Caiweilu, the two got out of the car, and Chen Feng reluctantly put on his suit again.
He wanted to speak several times, but Lu Wei never gave him a chance.
After changing their clothes, when the two of them went out again, Lu Wei, who was wearing a conservative blue dress, calmly reached out and tried to hook his arm.
Chen Feng quietly moved to the side and did not accept her move.
While in the car, Chen Feng raised his hand and looked at his watch.
Since he didn't wear a watch a few days ago and found room for a dirty guy like Wang Xilei to talk to him, Chen Feng simply got angry and bought himself a Rolex to hold on to when he came back.
"It's half past six now. If nothing happens later, I'd better go back early. I still have to write something."
Lu Wei nodded without comment.
The car turned two small corners, then turned into a European-style back street, and stopped again outside the small double-story Western-style building that Chen Feng had visited once before.
The two got out of the car and walked side by side, but there were already many people inside, including men, women, old and young, chatting enthusiastically.
As they approached the gate, the two of them were noticed.
Many people came up to the general to greet the two men.
Of course, it's mainly Lu Wei.
While Lu Wei was dealing with someone, she once again quietly reached out and tried to hook Chen Feng's arm.
Chen Feng dodged again.
But this time she was fierce, with a stiff smile, she took another step to the side and firmly grabbed Chen Feng's hand.
Chen Feng's whole person felt a little bad.
Frankly speaking, he was quite disappointed.
Before coming here, he had thought that Lu Wei might want to use him as a shield.
But such a drama was too vulgar, and he felt that given Lu Wei's rank, it wouldn't be like this.
However, Chen Feng knew very well that Lu Wei helped a lot in the early days of his business. Even if it was true, he would accept it and regard it as returning her favor. After today's incident, it would be better to have a showdown with her immediately to avoid
Long nights and many dreams.
About twenty minutes passed like this, when news came from the restaurant inside that the dishes were ready, and the crowd went inside, and Chen Feng got a chance to escape.
He wanted to take his hand back again.
Lu Wei tightened her grip again.
"Why bother?"
Chen Feng asked.
Lu Wei glanced at him and said, "Just cooperate with me a little today, okay?"
"But there will be scandals outside, right? You are more or less a public figure, so it will have a bad impact on you."
What Chen Feng said was very straightforward.
Lu Wei shook her head, "Don't worry, there are no people here who like to gossip, so it won't spread. Look at those famous ladies in the capital, who change their male companions every time they attend a cocktail party. What do I mean? Don't think so deeply, the male companions don't
Just like a boyfriend, we are just going to have a meal together, don't think too much about it."
Chen Feng was stunned.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is really the case?
Those who came up to say hello seemed to not know themselves at all, and regarded themselves as nothing, without even looking at themselves. However, they were very enthusiastic with Lu Wei, and no one made fun of her by saying that she had found a man.
friend.
Am I too sensitive?
Chen Feng thought to himself.
Forget it, this upper class society in the 21st century makes people really feel out of place and difficult to get along with.
On the contrary, it was the "upper class society" of the thirty-first century that made him more adaptable.
I remember back then, I was able to have eloquent conversations with many ministers and even the top leader of the world government.
When it was time to eat, what Lu Wei did, who kept saying that her boyfriend was not her boyfriend, and wanted to have dinner with her, made Chen Feng start to doubt his life again.
She actually picks up food for Chen Feng from time to time!
Chen Feng's hair stood on end, as if the Lu Wei he knew in his eyes was a different person.
He thought to himself, this shouldn't be the case. You're not very old. In theory, you don't have to worry about getting married. Don't try to trick me, okay?
Doesn't this suit your temperament and style, Lu Wei?
The atmosphere then entered a situation that seemed harmonious but was actually rigid.
Although Chen Feng was unhappy, he couldn't bear to embarrass her in front of everyone. He just lowered his head and ate vegetables and rice in silence. In his dejected mood, he didn't even take a sip of wine.
In line with the principle of not wanting to waste time, Chen Feng kept his ears open throughout the meal, trying to eavesdrop on the chats of some "big shots" and wondering if he could eavesdrop on some usable business intelligence for Xingfeng Entertainment.
But he soon lost interest.
Don't look at these people chatting at the dinner table. They are all giving advice and talking about national affairs. But if you carefully taste the content of their conversations, you will feel that they have gained nothing. They are all unnutritious nonsense.
Although he gained nothing from eavesdropping on the information, Chen Feng observed something else.
He noticed that at the banquet, there was a man in his thirties from the capital who would cast his gaze at him from time to time.
Although this person concealed his hostility very well, Chen Feng's current acumen was not something that others could easily fool.
He suddenly felt like there was a ghost.
Chen Feng glanced at Lu Wei who was picking vegetables into her bowl.
Okay, it's all quibbles.
You are lying, you want me to be your shield.
The love rivals are all ready.
It's too much.
It's not impossible for me to do you a little favor.
But you and I have no grievances, so why do you want to trick me like this?
Don’t you understand how much trouble bringing me into your circle will cause me?
Chen Feng almost decided on the spot to part ways with Lu Wei.
But soon he discovered that the man from the capital did not seem to be a love rival.
This man was married, and his wife was sitting next to him, and she looked at him very unkindly.
From other people's conversations, Chen Feng heard that the couple were not ordinary characters, and each had their own origins.
Now Chen Feng didn't understand the situation at all.
But he didn't pay much attention to it and quickly put it behind him. He just wanted to avoid touching these nonsense things in the future.
At about eight o'clock, Chen Feng finished the delicious meal with great difficulty.
When he was about to get up and leave on his own, Lu Wei, who was just chatting with others at the table and hadn't eaten a few mouthfuls of food, also stood up and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, we have something to do at home, we have to leave first."
The two walked out of the door, and Lu Wei asked: "Come and sit in my Wechai hut?"
Chen Feng thought that it would be a good idea to have a private chat, "Okay."
Back at Caiweilu Courtyard, the servants had already prepared drinks for the two of them.
Chen Feng’s is Taiping Houkui, and Lu Wei’s is coconut milk tea.
Under the pavilion in the middle of the courtyard, the two of them sat facing each other.
Chen Feng did not speak in a hurry, but organized the words in his heart.
A showdown is a showdown, but after all, our friendship is here, and he doesn't want to turn against each other, but he just needs to be more careful in the future.
"Chen Feng, you must have doubts in your heart."
Lu Wei, who didn't want to sit across from him, spoke first, interrupting Chen Feng's train of thought.
"Ah, yes. You are so abnormal today, not like you at all. I have been confused by you. I am not saying you, this is not good. I don't know those people, but I know they are definitely not
Little people. You didn't even notice the way the couple looked at me, which was very hidden, but I felt like they wanted to peel me off and eat me. It was so uncomfortable. Don't come to me for this kind of thing in the future, otherwise my friend
There’s nothing left to do!”
Chen Feng talked a lot in one breath.
His tone was half-joking and half-serious, but his attitude was very tough, and his words were even a bit harsh.
But Chen Feng also knew that given Lu Wei's previous temperament, she would not argue with him.
Moreover, Chen Feng really didn't want to hide his words in roundabout ways, which made him upset.
He hates lying and subterfuge, so he simply says what he has to say.
Lu Wei first squinted her eyes and covered her mouth with a smile, "I knew you would think so. But you misunderstood me. I'm sorry, I didn't tell you first because I didn't want you to get into a fight with someone at the dinner table. With your
Your temperament will be like this."
Chen Feng was stunned, "Huh?"
Lu Wei told him the whole story.
It only took a few months for Xingfeng Entertainment to start from scratch and then rise like a comet, with Chen Feng sitting on a market capitalization of billions.
Chen Feng felt that he was a "hard-working" porter transporting gold bricks, and it was natural that he could make money with peace of mind.
But in the eyes of others, he clearly got lucky, and it was an unexpected windfall that everyone should share.
Commonly known as jealousy.
That couple was the representative of a certain group of people who felt that they had considerable influence in the industry, and Chen Feng should give them a share of the pie due to both sentiment and reason.
It is common for certain people to borrow the influence of certain groups to obtain part of the equity in some rapidly growing companies and turn it into their own interests.
Companies like Chen Feng that maintain high growth and have little background are the perfect "cooperation" partners, so they come with "sincerity" and "butcher's knife."
They didn't think they were going too far, they even felt that this was an opportunity they gave Chen Feng, and the final situation was a win-win situation.
Chen Feng may be a little dissatisfied and resist, but in the end he will definitely understand his good intentions.
Their plans were very loud. They planned to have a meal with Lu Wei today and say hello, and then go to Xingfeng Entertainment to visit her tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, as soon as we arrived at the place, we would bump into Chen Feng and Lu Wei appearing together in this small gathering.
Moreover, the two of them behaved very intimately, and it was clearly done for them to see.
They did not think that Lu Wei would take the initiative to help Chen Feng, but thought that Chen Feng had heard the news of their coming from somewhere and acted preemptively to grab Lu Wei's thigh in advance.
This is to press on the nose and face to declare sovereignty and intimidate Xiaoxiao.
They were really shocked.
After all, Jiangnan Province is Lu Wei's territory, and this territory may continue to expand in the future.
Lu Wei has never been a patron for anyone before, so this is her unprecedented first time.
Face must be given.
They can't snatch this meal, and they can't take it away.
Chen Feng listened to Lu Wei explain the whole story, but his mood was very complicated, even a little anxious and angry.
He vaguely remembered that in the previous timeline, Xingfeng Entertainment encountered a similar situation a year or two later, but in the end it was saved.
What exactly happened was briefly mentioned in the historical records using Spring and Autumn style, without going into details. Anyway, nothing happened in the end.
Later generations can only rely on guesses and conjectures, and it has become an irrelevant historical mystery.
Now that he has returned to the 21st century and experienced it personally one or two years in advance, Chen Feng understands the reason.
The person who silently helped him block this disaster was the woman sitting in front of him, who was usually intellectual and gentle, but would not hesitate to dishonor her reputation in order to help him.
As for why things that were supposed to happen a year or two later happened earlier?
Chen Feng believes that the reason is also very simple.
In the previous timeline, when he sold out his previous music library, he "exhausted his talent". Xingfeng Entertainment transformed from a super creative enterprise with explosive growth to a business that developed steadily by operating copyrights under the leadership of Chen Feng and Meng Xiaozhou.
After another ten years of dormancy, the company entered a new round of explosive growth with the help of successive hit science fiction movies.
At this time in early April 2020, the popular star of Xingfeng Entertainment was not so attractive in the eyes of some people.
But this time the situation changed again. After Chen Feng came back from Los Angeles, he announced big plans one after another. In particular, he announced that the number of songs in his inventory suddenly increased from less than ten to forty, setting off an astonishing trend.
Although Chen Feng doesn't care about external criticism, his amazing influence exists objectively.
Chen Feng flapped his butterfly wings again, distorting the timeline again like a man exercising with battle ropes. The chain effect caused by this was reflected in the hearts of the group of people represented by the couple, and became the straw that broke the camel's back, quickly arousing
The other party's greed and take decisive action.
All kinds of changes happened subtly. When Chen Feng appeared in front of him, it was a situation that had never happened before but was "determined to happen".
Chen Feng looked straight at Lu Wei, who had been looking at him with a smile after finishing everything.
In his heart, he was angry at others, complained and dissatisfied with reality, but he was also grateful to Lu Wei, and at the same time he was a little embarrassed because he had misunderstood the other party.
All the complex emotions intertwined in the air, and finally converged into a sentence in his mouth.
"Thanks."
Lu Wei nodded, "You're welcome, I should."
In fact, Chen Feng wanted to say that you helped me a lot and there was nothing I could do in return, but he suddenly felt that this would cause some uncontrollable changes, so he shut up.
Unexpectedly but quite playfully, Lu Wei crossed her legs, sipped her coconut milk tea gently, looked at the sky outside the pavilion where no stars and moon could be seen, and said.
"Actually, I can see that you are quite angry about this. This kind of thing is a bit unexpected for you?"
Chen Feng shook his head, "I can think of it. I've seen it on Weibo and heard about it when chatting with netizens. It's just that it fell on me, which is a bit unexpected."
"Well, your anger is justified. If I put myself in my shoes, I would be angry too. For people who have more ideals and pursuits, this kind of thing is even more disgusting, because it is a stumbling block and ironclad on the road to pursuing our dreams.
Tribulus.”
Chen Feng: "But this is reality. It exists objectively. You can't escape it, you can only deal with it. I can figure it out."
"It makes sense. But don't worry, we are friends, so I will try my best to prevent these things from happening to you."
"Thank you." Chen Feng sighed again, "If those ugly garbage people who indulge in getting something for nothing just because they know how to reincarnate, and have no apology for it, and take everything for granted, could be half as kind as you, the world would be a lot better."
Lu Wei glared at him, "Are you praising me or scolding me? I am quite good at reincarnation."
Chen Feng suddenly felt something was inappropriate and repeatedly handed over his hand, "Sorry, sorry, slip of the tongue. I shouldn't compare this kind of thing to you."
Lu Wei shook her head again, and sighed heavily, becoming a little deeper, "People really can't decide how they will be reincarnated. Although I don't want to admit it, I am indeed a part of it. I try hard to be a good person, and I want to
I want to break away and want to be myself. But I can't get rid of it, and I have to blend in. Even the way to solve problems is the same as theirs."
Chen Feng fell silent.
"Are you saying people are weird? No one restricts me, and everyone gives me the greatest autonomy, but I just feel uncomfortable in my heart. I still care about things that I can't see and have never experienced. I can't choose what kind of family I was born into, and I should even be grateful. But I just feel that no matter how far I go, there are always shackles on my feet, and the clanking sound of chains can still be heard behind me. Is there something wrong with my mind? Is it too pretentious?"
Lu Wei's tone suddenly became intense.
Chen Feng remained silent.
From the perspective of an onlooker, Lu Wei's words are indeed quite true.
But if you look at it from the perspective of a historical reviewer, she realized the true meaning of her own life.
This is the reason why she is talented, but no matter how hard she tries, she can never compare with Zhong Lei in terms of achievements in music and art.
