Chapter 589: Chapter 325: Principles Issue_2
If it were just Han Shipei, Chen Feng wouldn’t even bother, but with Li Liqin, he really couldn’t just walk away. Otherwise, if she complained to her uncle Li Shengping, that would be troublesome.
The reason "Mountain Order" could be broadcast smoothly and achieve such great success, others might not know, but he was very clear it was all thanks to Li Shengping’s help.
And now, their company has become a sensation in the entertainment industry thanks to "Mountain Order," not only making a name for themselves but also starting to generate significant profits. Given the current heat, just the profit sharing from Tencent’s video platform alone could exceed over a hundred million.
Additionally, there are other avenues, like the merchandise associated with the drama, and even concerts, fan meetings, and the like. Currently, Lu Sijia is already starting to prepare them.
It can be said that Chen Feng owes Li Shengping a huge favor this time.
Although Chen Feng had saved his life before, and this time he helped mainly to repay the favor, Chen Feng, after earning so much this time, definitely had to remember this significant favor in his heart.
Not to mention, if their company wants to continue producing film and television products in the future, maintaining a good relationship with Li Shengping is crucial.
In short, because of Li Shengping, Chen Feng couldn’t afford to offend Li Liqin, and even more so couldn’t let her affect his good relationship with Li Shengping.
"Then I’ll accompany you for an hour. At most an hour, I really have something and need to go home for a bit."
With Chen Feng saying so, the two women decided that was good enough and were quite satisfied.
So the three continued happily riding their little electric scooters around the lake. This time, the three basically didn’t stop anymore, moving quickly; in about half an hour, they returned to the starting point.
Chen Feng was about to park when Li Liqin called out to him, "Don’t park yet, let’s go over there to eat, my treat. I’ll lead the way."
Before Chen Feng could react, Li Liqin took the lead, riding her little electric scooter ahead.
"Brother Feng, let’s go."
After Han Shipei waved to Chen Feng to hurry up, she also rode her little electric scooter and followed.
Seeing this, Chen Feng had no choice but to continue riding his little electric scooter and follow.
Where Li Liqin took them was not some fancy restaurant but an old noodle shop in a lane.
The price list even had noodles for just a few yuan a bowl, with the most expensive not exceeding a hundred yuan.
Chen Feng ordered a bowl of liver noodles, only 28 yuan, with plenty of liver, and indeed the taste was quite good.
Watching Chen Feng slurp down the noodles, Li Liqin smiled and asked, "How is it? Isn’t the taste here pretty good? I used to come and eat here often when I was a kid, for over ten years."
"It’s pretty tasty. The flavor is very authentic."
"As long as you like it."
While eating, Han Shipei sought presence saying, "Actually, I’ve also been here to eat with friends before, it’s an old establishment in this area, quite famous locally."
Li Liqin rolled her eyes at her but didn’t say anything.
Chen Feng quickly devoured a large bowl of noodles, so much that he wouldn’t need dinner. He hadn’t eaten enough at that top-floor panoramic restaurant at noon since the portions there were really too small.
But now this large bowl of liver noodles was hearty enough. After finishing it, he felt quite full in his stomach.
After finishing the noodles, the three came out from the noodle shop, and Chen Feng was about to say goodbye to them when Li Liqin preemptively said to Han Shipei, who she found annoying, "The two of us have something to do, don’t follow us anymore."
Her words were quite direct, catching Han Shipei off guard.
But Li Liqin directly grabbed Chen Feng’s hand, quickly leading him into a lane.
Crap!
Seeing this, Han Shipei was so angry she wanted to curse. She wanted to chase after them, but wearing high heels obviously wasn’t suitable for running. Moreover, she knew if she gave chase, Li Liqin would surely turn hostile, and possibly even Chen Feng would get annoyed with her.
The only thing that comforted her was during the meal, she finally got Chen Feng’s phone number and added him as a friend.
And Chen Feng, suddenly pulled into the alley by Li Liqin, was completely bewildered.
By the time he realized it, they had already walked at least fifty or sixty meters inside, stopping right in front of a small hotel.
Seeing this, Chen Feng immediately pulled back, quickly asking, "Why did you bring me here?"
Li Liqin, with a playful and challenging look, retorted, "What do you think?"
Chen Feng didn’t hesitate, frowning as he asked, "You’re not trying to bring me here to get a room, are you?"
Just at that moment, three people were coming out of the hotel, and upon hearing this, they all looked at Li Liqin with odd expressions.
Li Liqin found it a bit unbearable, but having spent years in both domestic and foreign settings, especially those years abroad, she was long used to witnessing the chaotic relationships in Western societies, developing a certain immunity.
So, despite her flushed face, her gaze remained firm, without avoiding Chen Feng’s eyes, and she even looked at him with an aggressive stare, smiling as she nodded, "Yes, do you dare?"
"I don’t dare." Chen Feng shook his head, admitting defeat; he didn’t want to end up tied down by Li Liqin.
It’s a matter of principle.
Li Liqin had expected Chen Feng to say he dared, but getting the opposite answer, she couldn’t help but mock him angrily, "Are you even a man?"
Chen Feng looked at her speechlessly and after a moment of silence, candidly told her, "I actually already live with a woman, and I also have two mistresses. So, would you still be willing to pull me in?"
Li Liqin’s eyes widened in indignation, and she shoved his hand away angrily, "You men really are no good, especially the rich ones."
Seeing her anger, Chen Feng felt relieved. He was indeed at his limit; after all, he’d been holding back the whole day since morning.
Fortunately, he was a man of principle and didn’t want to lie.
"You’re right, rich men are no good, including me. But I think those of us who are rich at least have some principles. I tell you this because I don’t want you to have any false impressions of me. I’m a philanderer, and at this moment, it’s difficult for me to settle down for just one woman. Do you understand what I mean?"
Li Liqin just glared at him angrily without responding.
"Alright, now that you know what kind of person I am, let’s go."
After saying this, Chen Feng turned to leave the alley, but unexpectedly, his left arm was suddenly grabbed by Li Liqin again.
Chen Feng looked at her in astonishment.
Li Liqin sneered, "Although you’re a womanizer, at least you’re honest. To tell you the truth, I haven’t had an x life in over a year, because during this time, I haven’t met a man I found pleasing to the eye. Today, I find you pleasing, so you might as well take advantage of it."
With that, Li Liqin firmly pulled Chen Feng towards the hotel.
