Finally, Chen Feng followed her.

Not long after, the Maserati drove into Caiweilou, and the two got out. Chen Feng changed into a suit again reluctantly.

He wanted to speak several times, but Lu Wei did not give him a chance.

After changing clothes, when the two went out again, Lu Wei, who was wearing a conservative blue dress, reached out and tried to hook his arm without a sound.

Chen Feng quietly moved aside and did not accept her move.

In the car, Chen Feng raised his hand to check his watch.

Since he gave Wang Xilei, a scumbag, a chance to talk to him because he did not wear a watch a few days ago, Chen Feng simply got angry and bought himself a Rolex after returning to make do.

"It's half past six. If I don't have anything to do later, I'd better go back early. I still have something to write."

Lu Wei nodded without commenting.

The car turned two small corners and turned into the European-style back street, and stopped again outside the two-story small western-style building that Chen Feng had visited once.

The two got out of the car and walked inside side by side. There were already quite a few people inside, many men, women, young and old, chatting enthusiastically.

When they approached the gate, the two were noticed.

Many people came up and greeted the two.

Of course, it was mainly Lu Wei.

While Lu Wei was dealing with people, she once again quietly reached out and tried to hook Chen Feng's arm.

Chen Feng dodged again.

But this time she got ruthless, with a stiff smile, she took another step to the side and hooked Chen Feng's hand fiercely.

Chen Feng felt a little uncomfortable.

To be honest, he was quite disappointed.

Before coming here, he had thought that Lu Wei might want to use him as a shield.

But such a play was too cliché, and he felt that Lu Wei's level would not lead to such a situation.

However, Chen Feng knew that Lu Wei had helped him a lot in the early days of his business, so even if it was true, he would accept it and just regard it as repaying her favor. After today's incident, he would immediately lay down his cards with her to avoid any more trouble. About

twenty minutes passed like this, and the news that the dishes were ready came from the restaurant inside, and the crowd went inside. Chen Feng finally got a chance to escape.

He wanted to take his hand back again.

But Lu Wei held it tightly again.

"Why bother?"

Chen Feng asked.

Lu Wei glanced at him, "Just cooperate with me a little today, okay?"

"But the scandal will spread outside, right? You are more or less a public figure, and it will not be good for you."

Chen Feng said this very bluntly.

Lu Wei shook her head, "Don't worry, there are no gossipers here, so it won't spread. Look at those celebrities in Beijing, they change their male companions every time they attend a cocktail party. What's my case? Don't think too deeply, a male companion is not the same as a boyfriend, just a partner to have a meal together, don't think too much."

Chen Feng was stunned.

Thinking carefully, it seems to be true?

Those who came forward to say hello seemed to not know him at all and completely ignored him without even looking at him. However, they were very enthusiastic with Lu Wei, and no one joked with her that she had found a boyfriend.

Am I too sensitive?

Chen Feng thought to himself.

Forget it, this 21st century upper class society really makes people feel out of place and difficult to deal with.

On the contrary, the "upper class society" of the 31st century makes him more adaptable.

Back then, I could talk freely with many ministers and even the highest leader of the world government.

When it was time to eat, Lu Wei, who kept saying that her male companion was not her boyfriend and was just having a meal with him, did something that made Chen Feng start to doubt his life again.

She even picked up food for Chen Feng from time to time!

Chen Feng felt a chill down his spine, as if the Lu Wei he knew had become a different person.

He thought, this shouldn't be the case, you're not very old, and theoretically you won't have trouble finding a husband, so stop trying to trick me, okay?

This doesn't fit with your temperament and style, Lu Wei, right?

The atmosphere became seemingly harmonious, but actually stiff.

Although Chen Feng was unhappy, he couldn't embarrass her in public, so he just lowered his head and ate his food in silence. He was in a bad mood and didn't even drink a sip of wine.

In order not to waste time, Chen Feng kept his ears erect throughout the meal, trying to eavesdrop on the conversations of the "big shots" and see if he could eavesdrop on some useful business intelligence for Xingfeng Entertainment.

But he soon lost interest. Don't be fooled

by the fact that these people are toasting and talking about state affairs at the dinner table. But if you carefully taste the content of their conversation, you will feel that you have gained nothing, and it is all nonsense without nutrition.

Although Chen Feng gained nothing from eavesdropping on the intelligence, he observed something else.

He found that a man in his thirties from Beijing at the banquet would look at him from time to time.

Although this man concealed his hostility very well, Chen Feng's current sharpness is not something that others can easily fool.

He suddenly

felt that something was fishy. Chen Feng glanced at Lu Wei who was putting food into her bowl.

Well, it's all sophistry.

You are lying. You just want me to be your shield.

Your rivals are ready.

That's too much.

It's not impossible for me to help you a little.

But we have no grudges against each other. Why do you want to trick me like this?

Don't you understand how much trouble it will cause me if you drag me into your circle of conflicts?

Chen Feng almost decided on the spot to part ways with Lu Wei from now on.

But he soon discovered that the man from Beijing did not seem to be a love rival.

This man was married, and his wife sat next to him, and the look she gave him was quite unfriendly.

From other people's conversations, Chen Feng heard that the couple were not ordinary characters, and each had a great background.

Then Chen Feng was completely confused about the situation.

But he did not care too much, and quickly put it out of his mind. He would not touch these bullshit things in the future.

At about eight o'clock, Chen Feng finished this unpalatable meal with great difficulty.

When he was about to get up and leave, Lu Wei, who had only been chatting with people at the table and had barely eaten a bite of food, stood up and said, "Sorry, everyone. We have something to do at home. We'll leave first."

The two walked out the door, and Lu Wei asked, "Would you like to sit in my Caiweilou?"

Chen Feng thought that this would be a good idea, so that they could chat in private, "Okay."

Back at the Caiweilou courtyard, the servants had already prepared drinks for the two of them.

Chen Feng had Taiping Houkui, and Lu Wei had coconut milk tea.

Under the pavilion in the middle of the courtyard, the two sat opposite each other.

Chen Feng did not rush to speak, but organized his words in his mind.

It's okay to show your cards, but after all, everyone's friendship is here, and he doesn't want to become an enemy, but he will be more cautious in the future.

"Chen Feng, you must have doubts in your heart."

Lu Wei, who didn't want to sit opposite him, spoke first, interrupting Chen Feng's train of thought.

"Ah, yes. You were really abnormal today, totally unlike you. You confused me. I'm not saying anything bad about you, it's not good. I don't know those people, but I know they are definitely not small people. You didn't notice the way the couple looked at me, they hid very deeply, but I felt that they wanted to skin me and eat me. It was so uncomfortable. Don't come to me for this kind of thing in the future, otherwise we won't be friends anymore!"

Chen Feng said a lot in a row.

His tone was half joking and half serious, but his attitude was very tough, and he even said it a little absolute.

But Chen Feng knew that with Lu Wei's previous temper, she would not care about him.

Moreover, Chen Feng really didn't want to hide his intentions when he spoke, which made him upset.

He hated hypocrisy and evasion, so he just said what he wanted to say.

Lu Wei first squinted her eyes and covered her mouth with a smile, "I knew you would think so. But you misunderstood me. Sorry, I didn't tell you first because I didn't want you to fight with others at the dinner table. With your temper, you would do that."

Chen Feng was stunned, "Huh?"

Lu Wei told him the whole story.

Xingfeng Entertainment was created from scratch, and then rose like a comet. Chen Feng had a market value of billions in just a few months.

Chen Feng thought that he was a "hard-working" mover of gold bricks, and that he earned money with a clear conscience.

But in the eyes of others, he was clearly lucky, and it was an unexpected fortune that everyone should have a share of.

It is commonly known as jealousy.

The couple was a representative of a group of people who felt that they had considerable influence in the industry and that Chen Feng should give them a share of the pie.

This model of some people borrowing the influence of certain groups to obtain part of the equity in some rapidly growing companies and converting it into their own interests is very common.

Companies like Chen Feng that maintain high growth and have no background are the perfect "cooperation" objects, so they came with "sincerity" and "butcher knives".

They didn't think they were overdoing it, and even thought that this was an opportunity they gave Chen Feng, and the final situation was a win-win situation.

Chen Feng might be a little dissatisfied and resist, but in the end he would definitely understand their good intentions.

They had a very clear plan, planning to have a meal with Lu Wei today, say hello, and then go to Xingfeng Entertainment to pay a visit tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived, they ran into Chen Feng and Lu Wei appearing together in this small-scale party.

And the two of them behaved very intimately, which was clearly done for them to see.

They did not think that Lu Wei would take the initiative to help Chen Feng, but they thought that Chen Feng had heard about their coming from somewhere, and took the initiative to get on Lu Wei's good side in advance.

This was an aggressive declaration of sovereignty to shock the villains.

They were really shocked.

After all, Jiangnan Province was Lu Wei's territory, and this territory might continue to expand in the future.

Lu Wei had never been a backer before, so this was her first time.

Face must be given.

They could not snatch this meal, and they could not snatch it.

Chen Feng felt very complicated and even a little anxious and angry after listening to Lu Wei's explanation of the whole story.

He vaguely remembered that in the previous timeline, Xingfeng Entertainment did encounter a similar situation one or two years later, but it was finally saved.

What happened specifically was briefly mentioned in the historical records in the style of the Spring and Autumn Period, and no details were given. Anyway, nothing happened in the end.

Later generations can only rely on guesses and speculations about this, and it has become an irrelevant historical mystery.

Now returning to the 21st century, Chen Feng personally experienced it one or two years in advance, and he understood the reason. The

one who quietly helped him avoid this disaster was the woman sitting in front of him, who was usually intellectual and gentle, but did not hesitate to tarnish her reputation in order to help him.

As for why something that should have happened one or two years later happened ahead of time?

Chen Feng thought the reason was also very simple.

In the previous timeline, he ran out of ideas after selling out his previous music library. Under the leadership of Chen Feng and Meng Xiaozhou, Xingfeng Entertainment transformed from a super creative enterprise with explosive growth to an operating enterprise that developed steadily by operating copyrights. After another ten years of dormancy, it entered a new round of explosive growth relying on a series of hit science fiction movies.

In early April 2020, Xingfeng Entertainment was not so tempting in the eyes of some people.

But this time the situation changed again. After Chen Feng returned from Los Angeles, he announced big plans one after another, especially announcing that the stock of songs in his library suddenly increased from less than ten to forty, which set off an amazing trend again.

Although Chen Feng does not care about external reputation, his amazing influence objectively exists.

Chen Feng flapped his butterfly wings again, twisting the timeline again like a person using a battle rope for fitness. The chain effect caused was reflected in the hearts of the group of people represented by the couple, becoming the last straw that broke the camel's back, quickly arousing the greed of the other party and taking decisive action.

All kinds of changes happened imperceptibly, and when it appeared in front of Chen Feng, it was a situation that had never happened before but was "bound to happen".

Chen Feng stared at Lu Wei, who had been smiling at him all the time after explaining everything.

He was angry with others, complaining and dissatisfied with reality, but also grateful to Lu Wei, and at the same time a little embarrassed because he had misunderstood her.

All the complicated emotions intertwined in the air, and finally converged into a sentence from his mouth.

"Thank you."

Lu Wei nodded, "You're welcome, it's my duty."

In fact, Chen Feng wanted to say that you have helped me a lot, and I can't repay you, but he suddenly felt that this would cause some uncontrollable changes, so he shut up.

Unexpectedly, Lu Wei crossed her legs in a playful manner, sipped her coconut milk tea, looked up at the sky outside the pavilion where no stars or moon could be seen, and said.

"Actually, I can see that you are very angry about this. You were a little surprised by this?"

Chen Feng shook his head. "I can expect it. I've seen it on Weibo and heard about it when chatting with netizens. It's just that it happened to me, so

I was a little surprised." "Well, your anger is understandable. I put myself in your shoes. If it were me, I would also be annoyed. For people with more ideals and pursuits, this kind of thing is more disgusting, because it is a stumbling block and caltrops on the road to our dreams."

Chen Feng: "But this is reality, an objective existence, there is no way to escape, you can only deal with it. I can understand it."

"It's good that you can understand it. But don't worry, we are friends, so I will do my best to prevent these things from happening to you."

"Thank you." Chen Feng sighed again, "If those ugly trash who take advantage of the fact that they can reincarnate and indulge in easy gains, and feel no guilt for it, and think that everything is natural, can have half of your kindness, this world will be a much better place."

Lu Wei glared at him, "Are you complimenting me or scolding me? I am also quite good at reincarnation."

Chen Feng suddenly felt something was wrong and bowed repeatedly, "Sorry, sorry, I made a mistake. I shouldn't have taken this kind of thing seriously. Yi'er is on par with you."

Lu Wei shook her head again, sighed heavily, and became a little low, "People really can't decide how they will be reincarnated. Although I don't want to admit it, I am indeed a part of it. I tried hard to be a good person, to break away, and to be myself. But I can't get rid of it, and I have to blend in. Even the way I solve problems is no different from them."

Chen Feng was silent.

"Don't you think people are weird? Obviously no one restricts me, and everyone gives me the greatest autonomy, but I just feel uncomfortable in my heart. I still care about the shackles that I can't see and have never experienced. I can't choose what kind of family I was born into, and I should even be grateful. But I just feel that no matter how far I go, there will always be shackles on my feet, and I can still hear the sound of chains clanging behind me. Is there something wrong with my brain? Too hypocritical?"

Lu Wei's tone suddenly became intense.

Chen Feng remained silent.

From the perspective of an observer, Lu Wei's words are indeed quite that.

But if you look at it from the perspective of a historical reviewer, she has realized the truth in her own life.

This is why, despite her own talent, no matter how hard she tries, she can never be compared with Zhong Lei in terms of achievements in musical art.
