Shen Jingxiu nodded: "I understand. I have no personal relationship with her. Even if we cooperate, it's only because of you. Naturally, the interests of our Shen family will come first."
"Hmm!" Wen Yan nodded and asked with a smile, "So, what's your answer now, big brother?"
Just as Shen Jingxiu was about to speak, Wen Yan's phone suddenly rang.
He then changed his mind and said, "You answer the phone first."
“Okay,” Wen Yan immediately took her phone out of her pocket. She glanced at the screen and saw that it was an unknown number.
However, she had also frequently received calls from unknown numbers, the callers of which were likely directors or producers she had never met before.
Therefore, Wen Yan did not slack off.
She answered the phone politely.
But as she listened, she frowned, and the frown deepened.
Shen Jingxiu had no intention of eavesdropping on Wen Yan's private phone call; he even deliberately stood aside while Wen Yan was on the call.
But the change in Wen Yan's facial expression was too obvious.
She didn't say anything at first, but later she clearly couldn't hold back her temper.
"Wen Chengcai, I called you Uncle before because of your age and the fact that you saved me. But you seem to have gone a bit too far, haven't you? Shen Jingchuan only gave you 100,000 yuan, and you've already spent it all so quickly."
"And another thing, do you think I'm deaf? I heard the people next to you talking about gambling, and you actually lied to me and said it was your mother who was sick and needed surgery."
"No matter what excuse you make, you can't use your own mother to tell such a lie. Don't call again, I'm not giving you any money."
Wen Yan was furious and blocked the number after hanging up the phone.
Shen Jingxiu had already figured out the gist of it: "So that person is now asking you for money? Didn't Jingchuan say he had deleted your number? And you had already blocked him."
"Yes, I did block him a long time ago. But it's obvious that this person is a liar. He lied to Fourth Brother. He must have saved or memorized my number somewhere else. The number that called me just now wasn't the same one as before."
What's most infuriating is that he actually treated me like an idiot! I could hear people playing mahjong and shouting about gambling around him, and he actually told me he was in the hospital right now! If he ever dares to call me from a different number again, I'll block him every time!
Although Wen Yan was somewhat unhappy about Wen Cheng's attempt to take advantage of her kindness, she felt much better after blocking him.
She turned her head and continued the previous topic: "By the way, you haven't given me an answer yet, brother."
Shen Jingxiu nodded: "I agree. I'll have my assistant check my schedule in a bit, and then we can arrange a time to meet with your friend."
Wen Yan knew that Shen Jingxiu was a very busy man and that his time was difficult to manage.
Similarly, it's probably difficult to arrange Jiang Wanwan's schedule.
She should have a lot of announcements coming up.
However, filming only wrapped up these past two days, so she should take a few days off.
"I think we should do it now and not schedule another time. I'll ask her what she's doing now, and if she's not busy, I'll just send her my location and ask her to come find us. Do you agree, brother?"
"good."
Without hesitation, Wen Yan immediately contacted Jiang Wanwan.
Jiang Wanwan happened to be free this afternoon, and an hour later she arrived at the coffee shop on the east bank of Xinghu Park.
At that moment, Wen Yan and Shen Jingxiu also arrived at the coffee shop on foot, and the group quickly met up.
Shen Jingxiu is right, this café located in the tranquil park is indeed quite nice.
It's winter now, and they've opened a sunroom.
In this kind of weather, sitting inside and drinking coffee is so warm and cozy, it couldn't be more comfortable.
The key point is that there were very few people today. In this huge coffee shop, there were only three people besides the staff.
What pleased Wen Yan even more was that there were two cats and a dog outside the coffee shop. They were very friendly and allowed Wen Yan to pet them on their first meeting.
So, while Shen Jingxiu and Jiang Wanwan were discussing how to "break the ice when it gets cold" indoors, Wen Yan was leisurely playing with cats and dogs outside, having a great time.
Unbeknownst to her, the coffee shop staff were whispering about them behind their backs.
"That guy is so handsome and rich. Actually, we don't have much business on weekdays, but he spent so much money to book the whole place. The boss must be so happy today."
"I guessed it was to please his girlfriend, but who knew he brought two other women along. A date with three people, do they all agree to it?"
"I don't think so. Something so open and aboveboard can't possibly be a date between a boyfriend and girlfriend. They're probably here to talk about something. Didn't you see one of them walk away and pet the dog outside? He's obviously heartless."
"Yeah, but we can't see what she looks like with her mask on, but she must be a beauty. And that one inside, don't you think she looks like a female celebrity?"
"Jiang Wanwan, right?"
"Yes, I asked her when I delivered the coffee, but she said she wasn't. So I can't be sure, maybe she just looks like her. But that guy is really handsome, I think he's even more handsome than male celebrities, tall and rich. When will God send me a boyfriend like that? I don't need him to book the whole place for me, I just want him to have coffee with me every day."
"Hahaha, dream on."
at the same time.
In a casino in a small town.
Wen Cheng was pinned face down on the mahjong table with his hands tied behind his back by several fierce-looking men.
