CHAPTER 539: CHAPTER 300 SUSPECT_2

That’s why everyone only dares to admire Xin Yuqing from afar and not get close.

Yang Wenqi is different. She was hired through a public recruitment by the company, and at first, she never thought of becoming an artist but rather wanted to be some kind of media editor.

This shows that she is "clean" and doesn’t have a boyfriend. Naturally, this excites all the single men in the company into a frenzy. Every day, they come up with ways to approach her, get close to her, and manage to say a few words to her, which makes them feel ecstatic.

Because Yang Wenqi just joined the company and urgently needs this job, she initially greets everyone in the company with a smile.

Compared to the boys she met during her school days, the male employees in the company are much happier. She was famously known as an ice-cold beauty, who rarely responded warmly to others, let alone with a smile.

This can only be attributed to her current poverty and dire need for the job. So, she has to abandon some unnecessary pride and aloofness.

In fact, everyone feels fortunate because having a beautiful colleague like Yang Wenqi genuinely brings joy and happiness.

If you add the other two signed female artists, Xin Yuqing, and even Lu Sijia and Sun Wu, their company is considered to be swarming with beauties.

Now Wu Mengting wants to fire Yang Wenqi, and Chen Feng certainly disagrees. After all, Yang Wenqi’s talent is too good, and with a contract signed, letting her go would only benefit others, right? He’s already considered her the future money tree for his company.

"Isn’t this reason too far-fetched?" Chen Feng frowned and said, "Just because she’s too beautiful and then causes discord among the male employees, we should fire her? You are also women; don’t you think this reason is unfair to women?"

Sun Xiaorui said, "It’s not entirely for this reason. Besides, we feel that her character is questionable. You know Xin Yuqing used to be our assistant, but she always wanted to be a model and a star. Later, when Yang Wenqi joined our company as a signed artist, she wanted this as well.

But at first, she didn’t dare tell us, especially since she was still our assistant, and she helped me with many trivial tasks. So, she asked Yang Wenqi, her senior at school, for help, hoping she would recommend her to Hu Rui.

Yang Wenqi promised verbally, but actually feared that Yuqing would take her resources, so she kept delaying without mentioning it to Hu Rui. In the end, Yuqing couldn’t stand it and told me, so I approached Hu Rui for recommendation, and finally her wish was fulfilled. Isn’t Yang Wenqi’s behavior, acting one way on the surface and another behind the scenes, indicative of a character problem?"

But Chen Feng slightly disagreed and defended Yang Wenqi, "They were just ordinary schoolmates, not very close. It seems normal she didn’t help recommend."

"Then why did she agree initially, only to deliberately not help? Such people are despicable."

"She might have reluctantly agreed at first because of social pressures. Not agreeing would be awkward. Especially since Xin Yuqing was your assistant at the time, it was normal for her to fear offending Yuqing."

Wu Mengting said with a hint of sarcasm, "It seems you truly protect her. Are you also charmed by her?"

Chen Feng frowned with slight discontent and said, "What nonsense are you saying? She’s a signed artist in our company. We’re going to make her a big star, a money-maker."

"Is that really the only reason? Then tell me who you were with when you went out all night the day before yesterday?"

Wu Mengting had been holding back from asking. They had previously agreed on a six-month period where she wouldn’t meddle in his affairs.

But she’s just a normal woman, and she loves Chen Feng deep down, so how could she be unmoved by him being with another woman?

Especially someone like Yang Wenqi, who is completely on par with herself, and even a bit younger. Of course, this makes her feel a huge threat.

Facing Wu Mengting’s sudden interrogation, Chen Feng felt a bit guilty but still replied steadily, "Why ask this? Didn’t we agree before? Just give me some more time. I will gradually settle down and improve."

Wu Mengting regretted saying it somewhat, but since she already did, she followed through, "I’m not blaming you for anything. Don’t you think you’re a bit too promiscuous? If you keep going like this, I really doubt you can change this flirtatious habit in the future."

"You know, I have multiple reasons for being this way," Chen Feng sighed, showing a despondent expression.

Wu Mengting thought about his terminal illness; even though the last check said it improved, how many people recover from such fatal diseases?

Wu Mengting immediately softened, feeling some guilt, and sighed along with him, saying gently, "I really don’t mean to blame you. I’m just concerned about your health and afraid of anything happening to you. Not every woman is as easy-going and agreeable as Little Rui, without causing trouble."

Chen Feng appeared obedient and said, "I know. Don’t worry. I’m not the kind of person led purely by desires. Safety definitely comes first."

Wu Mengting moved her lips, intending to continue questioning, but was embarrassingly interrupted by Chen Feng’s response.

Chen Feng thought for a while and then took the initiative to say, "Okay, I know you’re worried about me and curious about who this person is. You certainly have some resentment, so I might as well tell you who she is."

He deliberately paused here, seeing the two women staring intently, and didn’t drag it out further, "She’s Jin Xinyan, Mengting, you’ve met her; she’s Yang Wenqi’s friend. To be honest, I never thought anything would happen between us, but she texted me late at night, saying she was alone in Long Bridge Park, and if I didn’t go see her, she wouldn’t go home.

You all know about the area around Long Bridge Park; although there are cameras, there are also quite a few little groves and densely wooded areas. I was really worried she’d have an accident; after some internal struggle, I went.

What happened next, I won’t go into detail. Although she initiated it, I admit my lack of self-control and couldn’t resist her temptation."

Sun and Wu listened and were bewildered, especially Wu Mengting; she had met Jin Xinyan, who was very forward and open about her affection for Chen Feng. But they had just met.

Moreover, Chen Feng acted like a gentleman at the time, completely unexpected that they would hit it off just a few hours later. This somewhat overturned her views on men and women.
