After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 1090 - 576: All Boredom’s Fault

After chatting leisurely with Jiang Xiaoshan, Chen Feng finally didn't feel so bored. He lay on the sofa and started reading the novel he was following on his phone.

Before long, Sister Xue, the nanny, came in with the groceries she'd bought. After greeting Chen Feng, she went to the kitchen to busy herself with her work.

Her job was just to buy and cook meals. The work hours were only two or three hours at the most, and not only was the work easy, but the salary was also high. So, she valued and cared about the job very much. She was very careful and attentive with buying, washing, and cooking the ingredients.

At the same time, she wouldn't, like other nannies, proactively chat with the family or try to get overly familiar. She also wouldn't pry or gossip about the family outside.

Her personality and integrity made Chen Feng and Sun and Wu both fairly satisfied with her, with no intention of replacing her with another nanny.

Meanwhile, regarding the monthly advance of grocery money, initially 9,000 yuan with adjustments made afterwards, the three of them generally didn't scrutinize it very strictly, as long as it seemed about right.

They would only ask her to send an electronic payment statement to Wu Mengting for verification at the month's end. As long as there weren't any major discrepancies, they wouldn't pursue it deeply.

In reality, at the beginning, Sister Xue might not skimp on the grocery money, but over time, seeing that Chen Feng and the others didn't strictly check the statements, she would naturally start cutting corners, reporting higher prices, or possibly colluding with familiar vegetable vendors to falsify things.

It's human nature, hard to avoid. As long as she wasn't too excessive, Chen Feng and the others wouldn't fuss over it, treating it as a kind of benefit for her.

Fortunately, up to now, Sister Xue had been very discreet. The fruits and vegetables she bought were always fresh and of good quality, and even if some prices were slightly above market, it was still acceptable.

Soon it was noon, and Sun and Wu both came back on time to eat.

"How are you now? No headaches or anything, right?"

Wu Mengting asked, concerned, as soon as she returned.

"No, just a good sleep, and I'm fine."

Chen Feng appreciated Wu Mengting's concern.

"Remember what you said last night; try not to drink anymore," Wu Mengting reminded.

"I'll try my best."

Chen Feng replied with a smile. He did regret it a bit; being a man and not too old, completely quitting alcohol seemed somewhat unrealistic.

"Not 'try,' but 'definitely.' You said last night that you wouldn't drink anymore. You're not going back on your word now, are you?"

Wu Mengting was slightly discontented.

"Last night, I was a bit dizzy, didn't express it clearly. As for liquor, I definitely won't drink. Beer, in moderation, but certainly not too much."

Chen Feng corrected what he had said last night; it's good for a man to be able to correct his mistakes.

Seeing him like this, Wu Mengting was angry but also knew it wasn't good to argue over this, so she only said, "Your body is your own. If you don't cherish it, no one else can do anything. Still, I hope you can avoid drinking in the future, whether it's beer or liquor."

This time, Chen Feng agreed readily: "Okay. You also know, at home, I don't normally drink, only occasionally when going out to meet people, for example, when going for BBQ with Qin Zhen, I might drink a bit of beer."

"So, what happened last night?" Wu Mengting glanced at him sideways.

Chen Feng could only smile wryly. Last night, he was really dizzy and only used drunkenness as an excuse. Now he could only say, "Last night was unexpected. Mainly, Yuan Daan was too enthusiastic. Plus, he's going back to his hometown in the Northeast, don't know when we'll meet again after parting, so with the emotions of parting, it was unavoidable to drink a bit more."

Wu Mengting accepted this explanation from Chen Feng and nodded, saying, "Just remember the lesson this time."

Not wanting to argue with her, Chen Feng nodded and said, "Yes, I remember this lesson. Now, let's go eat first."

Saying this, he stood up and went to the kitchen to get the meal.

Seeing this, Wu Mengting stopped there, not nagging further. She certainly knew that Chen Feng didn't like to be nagged, just like everyone doesn't like others lecturing them.

But she cared about Chen Feng and was concerned about his health, which is why she did so.

At the dining table, Wu Mengting didn't bring up Chen Feng's drunkenness last night again. Instead, she habitually talked about company matters. Mainly, she mentioned that Lu Sijia intends to officially start the project on Zhang Kewei's previous script. She thinks the script has a low cost and high quality, and if it's filmed, it could potentially make a profit.

However, Wu Mengting thinks the script still needs some polishing before being finalized. To which, Lu Sijia responded that she had already consulted two renowned screenwriters in the industry who had checked the script and found no issues, and they both had high expectations for it.

So, Lu Sijia still decided to proceed with the project of the "Good Deeds Hero" script.

Chen Feng asked, if this project is to be started, what would the budget be?

As the financial director, Wu Mengting obviously knew and said that Lu Sijia's initial budget was 8 million.

Chen Feng was surprised to hear this and asked, "That low?"

Wu Mengting explained, "She plans to use all newcomers for the main roles, so the compensation in that part is naturally minimal. Additionally, most of this series' scenes are indoors, so the filming fees are naturally low. Moreover, without the need to frequently change locations, the production speed will be fast, minimizing crew expenses too."

Chen Feng nodded, "In that case, there's no need for you to oppose it. After all, Sijia has more experience in film production than you do, and besides, she is the general manager. With a budget of only 8 million, as the financial director, you don't need to be at odds with her. Anyway, I also endorse this script as it's written by my old classmate. The sooner it's shot, the better."

Chen Feng had the intent of keeping Lu Sijia as the general manager in check by bringing Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui into the company, but he didn't want any excessive conflict between them and Lu Sijia, causing internal friction.

Wu Mengting, hearing Chen Feng's implied meaning, quickly defended herself, "I didn't target her on purpose, just discussing facts. Although the script for 'Good Deeds Hero' is good, before officially starting, it should be polished and reviewed thoroughly to check if there are any inappropriate contents."

Chen Feng didn't argue with her, smiling, "If you're just talking about the facts, there's no problem. Do you still think this script needs more polishing now?"

Wu Mengting shrugged, "You're the boss, and you said so yourself. What's the point of my opposition?"

Chen Feng laughed, "I'm discussing the facts too. Personally, I believe in the potential of this script. With only an 8 million investment, I'm confident it's very profitable when filmed."

"Alright then, as you say. I'll definitely approve her for the 8 million."

Chen Feng smiled and said no more.

After the meal, Chen Feng and the others watched some TV in the living room, chatted about Qin Zhen and Pei Lei's engagement, and then went upstairs.
