Chapter 49

  The shooting went exceptionally smoothly, and the female lead Chen Wen seemed to know some filming techniques, with a good foundation, basically no NGs or forgotten lines appeared, making everyone nod in agreement.

  On the other hand, Zheng Shaolong, who had never acted before, initially appeared a bit stiff and his expressions were not very natural. Moreover, he was usually idolized by everyone, but under the spotlight, he made mistake after mistake, feeling embarrassed and humiliated.

  The light was exposed by the heroine's identity and went on stage to speak that segment, which was NG seven or eight times.

  Fortunately, after continuous practice and breakthroughs, Zheng Shaolong quickly entered the role, and the effect was very obvious, matching perfectly with the female lead.

  "How's the play?" Tang Feng smiled and turned his head, gazing at Ai Zi Qing as he asked.

  "Not great, a very abnormal approach." Ai Zi Qing's face was expressionless as she stared forward, watching the scenes of the past replay in front of her, feeling somewhat unwell.

  Tang Feng was taken aback, not expecting Ai Zi Qing to say something so straightforward that made him extremely embarrassed. He glanced around and saw that no one seemed to have heard, then stiffly curled up the corners of his lips, saying with a deeper meaning:

  "I think it's very memorable and the subject matter is also very fresh, I designed a lot of the plot myself, and I believe the male and female leads will have a perfect ending."

  Ai Zi Qing heard this and finally turned her head towards Tang Feng, blinking her eyes, disbelievingly saying: "You designed many of the plotlines yourself?"

  "Not bad, I've designed a lot of plots and they're all very wonderful." Tang Feng saw her reflection and smiled even more confidently.

  "My god." Ai Zi Qing rubbed her forehead with her right hand, looking at Tang Feng with an increasingly strange gaze: "Tang Feng, if the mainland students see this, my reputation will be completely ruined by you. And don't you think...this method is very perverted?"

  Indeed, after all, this scene was witnessed by many classmates at that time, and now it has been remade into a movie. Most of the dialogue and scenes have not changed, making it hard for people not to recall that moment!

  Moreover, Tang Feng designed many 'brilliant plots', which makes it even easier for people to think that the two have long been in a 'deep and passionate love affair' with many secret affairs...

  "I think that's good." Tang Feng nodded indifferently, thinking back to when Ai Ziying was studying in Yang City. Except for entering Yang No. 1 Middle School as the provincial champion, she would either stare blankly or sleep during class, and her grades had slipped to sixth place in the year group. In terms of class ranking, she had been surpassed by Tang Luo from first place to second place. Apart from being admired for her talents, she really didn't have much "reputation" to speak of.

  Ai Zi Qing doesn't like to drag things out, and she still doesn't know what Tang Feng really feels about her. Maybe it's just a temporary infatuation, maybe he genuinely likes her, or maybe it's just a vague misunderstanding. But she thinks she should clarify things with him as soon as possible, so as not to misunderstand each other.

  So she gathered her previous intentionally playful expression, rolled her lips, put her right hand on her chest and said softly: "Actually, someone has already moved in here."

  Having said that, before Tang Feng could react, Ai Zi Qing smiled somewhat wistfully:

  "I never thought I'd experience love again in this life, perhaps because I wasn't prepared, so I've been working hard to do my best in my career, hoping to bring happiness to my family and friends, and also hoping to live a more carefree life."

  Actually, until now, I don't dare to hope what the future will be like. Maybe we'll grow old together hand in hand, or maybe we'll lose that initial spark and part ways due to the wear and tear of time. But at least for now, I won't waver or betray, nor will I indulge in self-pity because of the crappy reality obstacles. I'll use my own efforts to break through all the intangible barriers!

  After all, heaven has given her a chance to rebirth, why still want to leave so-called regrets for her own life? She hopes to use her own efforts to control her own life, break through all the obstacles that hinder her progress and those boundaries called insurmountable by the world!

  Tang Feng first heard Ai Zi Qing reveal her true feelings. Although some of the words were not quite understood, he could still feel how persistent and lonely she was.

  And in her heart, someone had already taken up residence...

  Tang Feng's eyes were slightly dim, and surprisingly, he didn't ask who the person was or how Ai Zi Qing knew him.

  He was silent for a moment, then raised an enchanting smile: "We are friends, of course I hope you can be happy, you won't misunderstand that I took this shot because I have a crush on you, little girl!" As he said that, he actually reached out to rub Ai Zi Qing's head.

  Ai Zi Qing was taken aback, but she didn't dodge. She understood Tang Feng's pride - a successful man who had been through many romantic entanglements wouldn't be without his own pride. And he certainly wouldn't cling to women like they do in the movies to show his devotion.

  In the evening, Director Chen announced the end of today's filming and didn't forget to praise Zheng Shaolong and Chen Wan a few words. After all, in the film and television industry, both of them are still newcomers, and they have made such progress, which is also unexpected by him.

  Tang Feng seemed really casual and suggested that everyone gather for dinner after the shoot, to celebrate a smooth start.

  Ai Zi Qing was dragged away by Tang Feng again, and Li Hui and others also followed with a thick skin.

  In the hotel suite, a large table for over ten people was packed to capacity, with almost all the main crew members squeezed together, including the male and female leads of this film.

  Male lead Zheng Shaolong, although he has a lot of presence on screen, is surprisingly humble and courteous when interacting with his seniors, such as the boss, and doesn't come across as arrogant or superior like the "super popular little king" that people make him out to be.

  That's the difference caused by social status.

  Stars are not as glamorous as they appear to everyone, like all working people, this is their job, most of them even need to serve the bosses under the stage drinking and having dinner, just because they want to be famous, or want to stay famous...

  Chen Wan, however, was not as poised and elegant as she had been during the photo shoot, but rather slightly awkward, after all, it was her first time having dinner with the boss since entering the entertainment industry, so she couldn't help but steal glances at Tang Feng out of curiosity, and her table manners were also extremely reserved.

  Li Hui and others couldn't care less, big fish and meat were just thinking about eating whatever they wanted, thinking that the mainland sister was always stingy, it was hard to get her to pay for a meal, finally managed to swindle her once and got treated to a bowl of beef noodles, since it's your friend treating you, why not take advantage of it this time?

  Everyone looked at the eating posture of these student girls, and they all secretly glanced at Tang Feng's expression. Seeing that he was not unusual, they all had a whisper in their hearts: Who are these girls? Why are they so unruly? They don't seem to be the daughters of any famous family... and it seems that President Tang didn't plan to introduce them from start to finish either...

  Li Hui and others ate well, patted their bellies, leaned back in their seats, and stared straight at Zheng Shaolong, making the latter extremely embarrassed.

  "Hey, mainland girl, you're too amazing! The bosses of Fengjin are all your acquaintances. Today, even Zheng Shaolong is having dinner with us at the same table. He just asked me if I wanted juice earlier. Oh my god!" Li Hui turned her head to look at Ai Ziying and started whispering.

  "Don't look at mainland girls as if they're stingy, the people I know aren't simple, you know." Ah Bao, in a very unglamorous manner, lit up a cigarette and put it to his mouth, causing the crew members to slightly furrow their brows - this kid is still a little punk?

  At this time, Tang Feng chatted with everyone and turned his head to ask Ai Zi Qing beside him: "What would you like to drink? Do you want to drink less wine?"

  "Just green tea is fine." Ai Zi Qing shook her head slightly.

  "Waiter, a pot of clear tea." Tang Feng surprisingly took the initiative to greet them, and what was even more unexpected was yet to come.

  After the waiter brought over a small teapot of clear tea, Tang Feng naturally picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Ai Zi Qing before placing it in front of her.

  The latter also thanked him with a very polite tone and picked up his teacup to drink.

  This move made everyone even more bewildered, wondering if President Tang had a liking for this young girl?

  She didn't look like she was from a wealthy family at all.

  Although Ai Zi Qing didn't look as awkward as Li Hui, her outfit was still extremely ordinary. If she were the daughter of a prominent family, Tang Feng wouldn't have skipped introducing her, especially with Chen Dao and Zheng Shao Long present at the table.

  However, Tang Feng's actions still made some sensitive people smell something.

  For example, the scene recorder Xiao Liu, he was already in the ultra-long vision of the two people getting along, and also heard the conversation. Seeing Tang Feng's actions at this time, he even more enthusiastically greeted Ai Zi Qing and the four of them, and can be described as a versatile person.

  Actually, Tang Feng and Ai Zi Qing didn't think that the previous action was surprising at all, after all, the latter's true identity was already out there.

  Even if Tang Feng only knew that she was the helm of Yushizhuan, this identity alone was enough to become a distinguished guest of the Tang or Huangfu family, and it was indeed enough to attract attention from many people.

  Moreover, Yu Shixuan's reputation has greatly increased at this time, and his influence is overwhelming. He often appears in the media of various countries, so even if he is now sitting in Tang Feng's position as a Hong Kong tycoon, it would not be excessive to pour a cup of tea for Ai Ziqing as a courtesy. Not to mention their current relationship.

  But no matter what Tang Feng's intentions were, the crew members no longer treated the few female students as outsiders, at least not with colored glasses.

  The atmosphere is hot and fiery.

  "Director Tang, the subject matter of this film is great! From a publicity perspective, I guarantee it will be a huge hit! Come on, let's have a drink to celebrate the success of the movie!" Little Liu, being a smooth talker, was the first to stand up and liven up the atmosphere.

  This sentence naturally goes to the heart of everyone, no one hopes to work hard until the end, and the film is unknown, if it can be a big hit, that's a confirmation of every filmmaker's efforts.

  So everyone stood up and responded.

  "Zi Qing, how much do you know about investments?" Tang Feng suddenly asked, his voice was low, but the people around him still perked up their ears.

  "An investment? You want to get into investments?" Ai Zi Qing was taken aback, recalling that after the 1997 financial storm, the domestic venture capital industry had indeed ushered in a big wave.

  Venture capital seems to have been born with high-tech, and the high-growth nature of high-tech companies often makes venture capital reckless for the sake of making a fortune.

  "There is this idea, but it's just a mode of investment guarantee company." Tang Feng nodded and replied.

  "Fundraising loan?" Ai Zi Qing raised an eyebrow.

  Tang Feng looked at Ai Zi Qing in surprise, didn't expect this girl to understand everything, "You also know about this?"

  Ai Zi Qing shook her head and said: "I don't understand very well, but you can roughly tell me about it, let's see if there's any advice that can help you."

  As the two of them spoke, they suddenly felt that the surroundings had quieted down. They glanced around and saw that everyone was using the excuse of serving dishes or drinking wine to cover up their pricked-up ears eavesdropping on the conversation between the two.

  But the sudden silence at the dinner table couldn't help but make the two of them aware of something?

  Ai Ziying rolled her eyes and had no choice but to follow Tang Feng downstairs to the hotel lobby's lounge area to discuss matters.

  After Tang Feng's narration, Ai Zi Qing roughly understood that now the investment industry is booming, and making money in real industries is too slow. So friends advised him to hang a nominal investment guarantee company under the banner of Fengjin Entertainment, which means using Fengjin's name to raise funds on a large scale.

  Then use this large sum of money to invest in companies that need loans, and the latter will have to repay debts with even higher interest.

  This is a complete test of the investor's vision and decision-making.

  He has long since started and invested in his own business, drawing a clear line with the Tang family jewelry business. He hopes to achieve success through his own efforts, rather than relying on his identity as the eldest grandson of the Tang family.

  So this proposal made Tang Feng somewhat moved, but in this regard he was distressed that he still had no experience.

  "This thing is too risky, one mistake and it's not an exaggeration to say that it could lead to financial ruin. Although the reward is high, we must be cautious." Ai Zi Qing said softly, her eyes cast downward as she held up her tea cup with both hands.

  "Although the company has not been registered yet, Ah Hua has already found a client who is willing to lend at an interest rate of 5%, and after investigation, the client's company is indeed doing well, it's just that they need a loan for working capital." Tang Feng said. The Ah Hua he mentioned was the friend who had advised him to start an investment guarantee company.

  "Haven't even put up a signboard yet and already found clients?" Ai Zi Qing raised an eyebrow, if this were the modern era, such cases would be all too common, couldn't help but make her feel a sense of vigilance.

  Tang Feng nodded upon hearing this, and he also had doubts in his heart. However, now he couldn't find any suspicious clues.

  It's not necessary for Ai Zi Qing to give her professional opinion, after all, Tang Feng can find a professional himself. He just happened to meet Ai Zi Qing and mentioned this matter to see if she understood it and could offer some advice.

  Ai Zi Qing did not disappoint, she transformed some big and small cases from later generations that she knew into explanations, and then analyzed them with Tang Feng. In some cases, she also gave the latter a great deal of inspiration.

  Tang Feng was shocked and could only admire, wondering if there were really geniuses in this world. After all, Ai Zi Qing was just a seventeen-year-old girl who not only excelled in the jewelry industry but also had a good grasp of investment and finance, which left him astonished.

  Digression

  I dozed off while typing at noon, and when I opened my eyes, it was already 5 pm in the afternoon. Don't scold me, my physical condition hasn't been good these two days, but after sleeping in the afternoon, I can stay up late to type at night. I'll try to update as much as possible, if not too much, don't scold me either, I'll do my best.
