Chapter 568: Chapter 315: The Rhythm of Meeting the Parents
The bad news about his old classmate Cao Jun kept Chen Feng in a good mood for several days.
You can only say that good and evil will be rewarded. People like Cao Jun, if they haven’t had bad luck before, it’s because the time hasn’t come yet. Now that the time has come, his life is destined to start a tragedy.
Right after that came the good news on his end: the show "Mountain Order" produced by his company finally launched. With the early promotion help from Penguin and their own vigorous promotion efforts, it achieved great success right from the start and can already be seen as having the makings of a hit.
His company, into which he had invested tens of millions, finally began to make a profit.
Additionally, the momentum for the planning at Dianchuang was also slowly improving, with the profit margin gradually increasing. After the May Day holiday ended, Jin Xinyan also went to work every day, telling him everything about the current state of Dianchuang, giving Chen Feng, the second-largest shareholder, a clear understanding.
This day, Jin Xinyan asked Chen Feng out. They hadn’t seen each other for a few days, and Chen Feng couldn’t refuse any longer, so he went to meet her.
The location this time was chosen at a Western restaurant, not far from the East Lake Villa where Chen Feng used to live, selected by Jin Xinyan.
The environment of this Western restaurant was quite good, with the scenery of East Lake visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows on both the first and second floors.
At this moment, it was past five o’clock in the afternoon, the sky had not yet darkened, and there were many pedestrians on the road. Their seats were right by the window on the first floor, where they could watch the passersby come and go while enjoying their Western meal, and also have a distant view of the scenery towards East Lake, which was quite a pleasant experience.
For Chen Feng, who had gotten used to being a homebody, this was undoubtedly a great relaxation for the body and mind, especially as a beautiful woman sat across from him, chatting and laughing with him.
"I have almost understood the specific operations of Dianchuang now. Do you think I should continue to perform my so-called supervisory duties, or be in charge of one or two departments specifically?"
This time, Jin Xinyan asked Chen Feng out mainly to discuss her specific role at Dianchuang moving forward.
Additionally, of course, she also missed him a bit. During the May Day holiday, she had originally had the opportunity to meet Chen Feng, but then her parents dragged her off for a trip and only returned after the holiday ended.
After returning, she started working, only having the chance to meet Chen Feng in the evenings, but Chen Feng was also busy. She had already asked him out once before, but he refused.
That day, Chen Feng was just spending his last day in Xiu Zhou with Lin Yujiao. Lin Yujiao had come all the way from Lu City, leaving her clothing store business to meet him, so Chen Feng obviously needed to accompany her well, and after spending three days together, Lin Yujiao reluctantly left.
Now he had some free time, so he came out to meet Jin Xinyan.
"I think you should continue to observe more, ask more, and get familiar with everything. You’ve only been at the company for a short time. You may think you’ve understood the specific operations, but if you’re put in charge of a specific task, you may not understand it, nor be able to handle it well. Moreover, you’re too inexperienced and too young. While you are nominally responsible for supervising various departments, you have no conflicts of interest with anyone.
But if you are responsible for specific work, conflicts and frictions with others will inevitably arise. Your qualifications and abilities will be questioned, and you may not be able to do well in a management position. If you don’t do well, it will be difficult for you to continue staying in the company."
Jin Xinyan frowned slightly and said, "Then do you think I should continue being a mascot? Although I’m responsible for supervising the departments, I have no real authority over them. They are polite to me on the surface, but in reality, they don’t take me seriously."
Chen Feng laughed and said, "What’s wrong with being a mascot? Do you have to be an Extinction Master?"
Jin Xinyan said, "I want to feel involved at the company and be responsible for specific work. I always feel like I’m an outsider, just visiting the company, not part of it."
Chen Feng thought for a while and said, "If you want to feel involved, that’s possible too. You can participate in some of the work of specific departments in the company. For example, you can get involved in a project in the planning department where I used to work, brainstorm with the team, or you can join the marketing department to help bring in business for the company. If you really bring in business, you’ll also earn an extra commission."
Jin Xinyan thought seriously for a moment and said, "You’re right. Then I’ll start with these two departments for some practical experience and also train myself."
Chen Feng was satisfied with her attitude and said, "Do you want me to call Sister Jun now, or will you tell her yourself? You should inform her in advance and give her a heads-up."
"I’ll tell her myself. I’m still on relatively good terms with her."
"That’s good. You make your own decision on this matter."
After discussing business, they ate a bit more, and then Jin Xinyan suddenly smiled and asked, "Has Wenqi contacted you recently?"
Chen Feng naturally shook his head and said, "No. I’m her boss; she wouldn’t contact me for no reason."
"Really no contact?" Jin Xinyan asked again.
"No. Why are you asking this? Has anything happened to Yang Wenqi?" Chen Feng curiously asked back.
"Oh, nothing. I just thought she might have some designs on you as her boss and suspected she might contact you to seduce you."
Jin Xinyan was very frank, directly stating her concerns.
Chen Feng was a bit speechless and said, "I know I’m quite charming now, and it’s no surprise that Yang Wenqi likes me, but she’s not like you; she wouldn’t actively seduce me."
Jin Xinyan was instantly displeased upon hearing this and said, "I never actively seduced you!"
Chen Feng couldn’t help but roll his eyes and said, very straightforwardly, "You weren’t the one who took the initiative; was it me? Who sent me a message in the middle of the night asking to meet?"
Jin Xinyan couldn’t help but roll her eyes too and retorted, "Calling you out at night means I’m seducing you? Besides, it was on the street, not in a hotel. How could I seduce you on the street? Clearly, you’re thick-skinned, pulling me to get a room. It was my first time, you know."
Chen Feng thought about it and realized that seemed to be the case. However, if she hadn’t asked him out in the middle of the night, would he have taken her directly to a room? Moreover, when they went to get a room, she was quite cooperative and showed no signs of refusal.
Not refusing is equivalent to tacit consent and compliance. For a man, if a woman does not explicitly refuse, it is tantamount to seduction.
Of course, Chen Feng wisely did not continue to argue with her on this matter. After all, he took advantage of her back then, and there is no need to argue about who took the initiative.
"Okay, there’s no need to argue about this. But I still think you’ve misunderstood Yang Wenqi."
Jin Xinyan shook her head and sneered, "She and I were roommates in college and have known each other for so long. Who knows her better, you or me? From what I previously understood, Yang Wenqi is a very pretentious green tea. On the surface, she looks like a saint, like an ice queen, but privately, she’s always been very calculating and schemes against people."
