Liu Ying's choice wasn't too surprising. After going through the profiles of the three candidates, she chose Yu Renfeng as the housekeeper without much hesitation. The cost wasn't very high, just eight thousand yuan a month for a full-time position covering laundry, cooking, and cleaning.

Liu Ying contacted Yu Renfeng directly and arranged for her to start working tomorrow.

With this full-time housekeeper, Liu Ying's mother won't have to work as hard, and having someone accompany Liu Ying, who is pregnant, gives Chen Feng peace of mind, allowing him to visit less frequently.

He's used to staying home carefreely, too lazy to go out daily.

However, the more he wants to stay at home, the less it seems possible.

No sooner had he finished chatting with Liu Ying when he received a call from Tao Yaoyang. He said Cai Zhixin returned from Lu City today and suggested they meet up for dinner together.

Cai Zhixin previously helped Chen Feng with some minor issues, and Chen Feng seemingly promised to treat him to a meal upon his return from Lu City.

Chen Feng couldn't refuse and promptly agreed.

Despite not being particularly fond of the two heirs and not intending to deepen their bond, he understood they both had significant family backgrounds in Xiu Zhou. Especially Tao Yaoyang, who was often quite influential, Chen Feng had to rely on him occasionally.

So Chen Feng had to maintain a good relationship with them even if he didn't want a deep friendship, nor did he want to become distant.

In the evening, at six o'clock, at Wenhua Inn, just as the skies turned dark.

In the private room, besides Chen Feng, Tao Yaoyang, and Cai Zhixin, there was a woman named Tang Xinyi.

Initially, Chen Feng didn't know she would come, but it seemed she had connected with Tao Yaoyang and was now part of his circle.

"Brother Feng, it's been a while since we met, we should definitely drink a few glasses later."

Cai Zhixin continued to flatter Chen Feng, a stance which didn't strike anyone as odd or unexpected. Even Tang Xinyi had heard about Cai Zhixin's prior borrowing of twenty million from Chen Feng.

"Alright, let's drink two cans each, let's keep it light."

Although Chen Feng's health has been consistently good, he prefers to avoid drinking alcohol whenever possible, and if he has to drink, he keeps it minimal.

"Sure, I'll follow your lead." Cai Zhixin agreed without hesitation, showing no intent to persuade Chen Feng to drink, which made everyone comfortable.

Chen Feng detested those who persuaded others to drink; drinking should be leisurely, according to one's own interest and willingness. When others push you to drink or compete with you, it's truly not a good habit.

Tao Yaoyang and Tang Xinyi naturally refrained from encouraging drinking as well. Smiling, Tao Yaoyang looked at Chen Feng and casually remarked, "Ah Feng, you've been developing rapidly with Fengmang these days. I heard Fengmang is about to shoot a new series and even our Star Media is benefiting from your success."

Chen Feng casually replied, "Yes, we're launching a new show—a small investment under ten million, mostly indoor scenes."

"I really admire you. You seldom visit the company and barely partake in its management, yet this company thrives remarkably and makes you so much money," Tao Yaoyang said enviously.

He truly envied Chen Feng. Unlike him, who invested in Star Media and became one of its major shareholders, the investment only broke even five or six years later. The dividends subsequently dwindled annually, ultimately leading to losses over two years—not exceedingly low returns, but far below initial hopes.

He would have withdrawn long ago if it weren't out of interest or for his need of a major shareholder title in the film industry.

The nominal boss of Star Media, its largest shareholder Yuan Xudong, worked tirelessly each day at the company, overseeing and involving himself in all matters. Despite his hands-on approach over the years, Star Media has yet to become one of the country's top companies, barely making it into the top ten, likely just outside.

Fengmang Film and Television Company, on the other hand, established less than a year ago, has stormed the domestic film industry, particularly in TV drama, stirring substantial waves with exceptional profitability, envied by countless peers.

If one were to discuss the most profitable film company in the country this year, it would undoubtedly be Fengmang Film and Television Company.

Yet Chen Feng, as the company's owner, remains indisputably low-key, seldom appearing at the company or attending industry gatherings, nor has he partaken in tea parties organized by relevant departments. He doesn't involve himself in the company's daily management and operations.

Despite this, Fengmang Film and Television Company, a rising star in the film industry, maintains an impressive momentum like a meteor soaring.

Tao Yaoyang genuinely admires and envies Chen Feng in this regard. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Chen Feng is remarkably low-key, carefree, and laid-back, unlike Tao Yaoyang, who is busy and stressed daily. The annoying truth is, despite Tao Yaoyang's ceaseless hustle, he doesn't earn nearly as much as the leisurely Chen Feng.

Every time Tao Yaoyang meets Chen Feng, he feels a faint sense of defeat.

Therefore, if not necessary, Tao Yaoyang isn't keen on meeting Chen Feng, feeling comprehensively overshadowed by the younger man.

This experience isn't pleasant for someone like Tao Yaoyang, who has always been very confident and proud.

"Chairman Chen just has an eye for talent," Tang Xinyi chimed in, her eyes bright, "He recognized Lu Sijia early on, a remarkably capable professional manager. No one foresaw her unleashing such tremendous potential upon being entrusted by him. I've heard many companies are trying to lure her away now but to no avail. They say you directly gave her shares in Fengmang Film and Television Company, is that true?"

There was no need to mask this; Chen Feng smiled and nodded, "Yes, I gave her a 5% dividend in the first year, which will gradually increase to 10%."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xinyi, Tao Yaoyang, and Cai Zhixin all displayed startled expressions.

Chen Feng's generosity was genuinely shocking.

If Fengmang had just begun, people might not believe Chen Feng gave too much. But now, Fengmang has already earned over a billion within its first year and is expected to reach two billion by the year's end. Thus, even a 5% share, Lu Sijia could earn several million easily.

Of course, this calculation is simplified; it must account for company expenses, taxes, etc. Yet Lu Sijia, a professional manager, could effortlessly take home a few million this year. After five years, her dividend rights will grow to 10%, and her share will be even larger.

She's under thirty. Although she was already a player in the industry, her fame was limited.

Other bosses likely wouldn't offer her such high treatment or trust, entrusting her with the entire company to manage.
