Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 443 Not Afraid at All (5K)

Feng Xiao was certain that Zeng Wenjie was definitely the most playful college student in the world.

She'd never seen red wine drunk like this before—her back dimples had become wine glasses.

"It seems that your sister-in-law, and the people in that circle, all believe that you were the one who advised me behind the scenes, which is why the authorities promoted me," Zeng Wenjie chuckled, finding the whole thing quite amusing.

Feng Xiao thoughtfully took out tissues to wipe the sweat from his face and chest, after all, she was the one who had just enjoyed it the most.

Then, she chuckled and said, "It seems that's true. After all, you're really too young. In a society that values ​​seniority, youth doesn't seem to be an advantage."

Zeng Wenjie said, "It doesn't matter. Let these people think what they want, as long as they don't bother me and let me do my work in peace."

Feng Xiao laughed and put her arm around his neck, saying, "You splashed tea all over Yan Xueyou's face today, which was quite domineering, but you'll also make enemies with people in the Beijing circle because of it."

Zeng Wenjie said, "So what if we make enemies? I'll keep my golden body intact. Even if my senior brother stops protecting me in the future, they'll have to think twice before they try to harm me."

Feng Xiao praised, "A person with strength has confidence. If you are truly promoted to be the number one person to help your hometown develop this year, that will be the realm of perfect enlightenment, and no one will dare to touch you."

Zeng Wenjie said, "I still have to thank my senior brother. With him stepping in, it was much simpler and more direct. If we hadn't deterred them today, they might have been reckless and tried to retaliate against me, which would have been a real headache."

Feng Xiao said, "No one wants to offend a high-ranking official with a promising future."

"Looks like I'm still not quite able to protect you, huh?" Zeng Wenjie asked.

“They’ve already covered for me, otherwise they wouldn’t have been so polite to me. They would have used force to get me back.” Feng Xiao said gently, offering her red lips proactively.

Just as I was busy, my phone rang. It was Yan Xinyi calling.

This startled Zeng Wenjie, but he still answered the call and asked, "Sister Yan?"

Yan Xinyi said, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I meant well."

Zeng Wenjie said, "I am indeed busy..."

Feng Xiao turned her face away and bit the blanket with her teeth.

Yan Xinyi then said, "Not long ago, someone inquired about your situation with me, and I personally believe it was a malicious inquiry. So, I wanted to ask you, have you recently offended any young masters in Yanjing?"

Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "Today, a guy named Yan Xueyou came in front of me trying to show off, and I splashed tea all over his face. Could he be your brother?"

Yan Xinyi fell silent after hearing this, and said, "Don't joke around... Just be more careful in the future, and don't let anyone find any fault with you or use it against you."

Zeng Wenjie said, "Yes, thank you for reminding me, Sister Yan. I will pay attention."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Yan Xinyi was stunned for a moment before realizing what he was busy with. Her pretty face immediately turned red, and she spat out, "You bastard, answering my call at a time like this, are you doing it on purpose?!"

Then she thought it was normal; it would be strange if someone as successful and wealthy as Zeng Wenjie didn't party every night.

However, the thought of talking on the phone at this time made her blush and her heart race.

"It was a call from that famous TV host. She said someone was asking her about me," Zeng Wenjie said.

“Okay~ um... they don’t dare to do anything to you... how about it~ ah…” Feng Xiao only responded to him intermittently.

The night passed.

Feng Xiao was very satisfied; she hadn't received any royalties for a while, and this time she got a great deal.

The next morning, Zeng Wenjie received a call from Qin Yixuan, who had heard about the matter from Yan Xinyi and wanted to inquire about it.

"Wenjie, your senior sister said you got into a little trouble? Is it nothing serious?" Qin Yixuan asked cautiously.

“I already said it’s a minor problem, so it’s definitely not a big deal. Well, just keep a low profile in Yanjing and don’t expose our relationship, otherwise, something might go wrong,” Zeng Wenjie reminded him.

"This is a little secret between us, no one will know," Qin Yixuan said with a smile. "Would you like to come to Yanjing for the May Day holiday?"

"I just had a fight with someone, and you invited me to come to Yanjing to have some fun. Aren't you just trying to make me laugh?" Zeng Wenjie joked with a smile.

Qin Yixuan exclaimed in surprise, "Oh dear, I'm sorry, I forgot! If I have the chance, I'll just come and find you directly."

Sending a cannon thousands of miles away?

Zeng Wenjie thought it was pretty good. Qin Yixuan said, "It's perfect that I came early to get my graduation certificate. I contacted the school, and the conditions were met. Moreover, the situation is quite special, so I can get my graduation certificate ahead of schedule."

She said this simply because she didn't want to appear cheap. It wouldn't sound good for a girl to travel all that way back on her own initiative.

Moreover, Qin Yixuan could have discussed the graduation certificate with the school during her last interview and follow-up report on "Village BA," so the fact that she insisted on delaying it until May Day clearly indicates that she has some ulterior motives.

“Okay, if you come back to get your graduation certificate, just contact me. But I’m a bit busy, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to spend much time with you,” Zeng Wenjie said.

"It's okay, I'm happy just to be able to meet you," Qin Yixuan replied sweetly.

She suddenly added, "By the way, I recently wrote a few articles about you and I'm thinking of submitting them for publication. Could you take a look and see if there's anything wrong with them, and help me revise them?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Sure, just send it to my email and I'll take a look."

Qin Yixuan is also trying to demonstrate her own efforts and value. Moreover, this matter can kill two birds with one stone, both pleasing Zeng Wenjie and allowing her to make a small name for herself in the news industry.

There are so many reports about Zeng Wenjie, one after another, overwhelming the media, and even many official media outlets are full of praise for him.

Articles about him generate a lot of traffic.

As they were chatting, Zeng Wenjie suddenly noticed a movie advertisement playing on the TV. It was a trailer for "Men's True Colors," starring Lao Xie and others.

"They were all brave..."

Old Xie's voice came through, singing "The Lone Warrior".

The lyrics and music are both attributed to Tsang Man-kit.

This song is a perfect match for the action-packed movie "Men's True Colors". The theme is a battle between police and criminals, and the lyrics and melody are both very exciting. When combined with the movie editing, it creates a thrilling and explosive feeling.

"Oh yeah, this movie is supposed to be released this year, right? It's the perfect time to promote it." Zeng Wenjie paused, looked at the TV screen, and murmured.

At this time, Wolf Warrior had not yet embarked on the path of only making patriotic films. He played the main villain in the film, with explosive fighting skills, and took on three main characters by himself, giving them a good beating.

Lao Xie's version of "The Lone Warrior" is quite good. This song will definitely become a hit, and some official departments will probably use it as background music.

Lao Xie was quite loyal. Perhaps to maintain a good relationship with Zeng Wenjie, he later signed a contract for two more songs with him. The contract stipulated that once the copyright fees exceeded a certain amount, they would split the profits.

After listening to the theme song from the promotional video for "Men's True Colors," Zeng Wenjie woke up Feng Xiao, who was still lingering in bed, and they went to have breakfast together.

But as soon as they arrived at the hotel restaurant, they ran into Zheng Shouyun and the girl from last night.

When Zheng Shouyun saw Zeng Wenjie and Feng Xiao, he was taken aback, and then his mouth twitched. Good heavens, these two ran away at around 10 o'clock yesterday. They were busy running errands!

He didn't know the specifics of Zeng Wenjie and Feng Xiao's relationship; he just thought the two might have an ambiguous relationship, but he never expected it to have come to this!
I had some illusions at first, but now they're completely shattered!
"Good morning, Mr. Zheng!" Zeng Wenjie walked up with a smile and shook hands with Zheng Shouyun as if nothing had happened.

"President Zeng, President Feng, you're here quite early too!" Zheng Shouyun said with a half-smile.

After Zeng Wenjie and Feng Xiao finished breakfast, they saw Zheng Shouyun exchanging phone numbers with the girl.

He was a little speechless. They hadn't even exchanged phone numbers beforehand. He hoped there wouldn't be any financial dealings involved...

Zheng Shouyun walked up, put his hand on Zeng Wenjie's shoulder, and said, "I never expected this, Mr. Zeng, that you would actually be someone who sleeps with people right next to him!"

Zeng Wenjie, however, said with a serious expression, "Director Zheng, please don't talk nonsense. General Manager Feng and I just felt it was too late and inconvenient to go back, so we came here to rest. By the way, during our rest, we discussed the quality issues of our Marlenia products."

Feng Xiao calmly said to Zheng Shouyun, "Director Zheng, weren't you just instructing people on how to provide better service to earn more tips yesterday? If not, then that would be a crime." Zheng Shouyun immediately replied seriously, "It was just instruction; I don't do anything illegal or disorderly!"

Everyone was just joking. This kind of thing is not something that can be said outside. Everyone has their secrets.

After leaving the hotel, Feng Xiao went to work at the Fengzhou Business Alliance, while Zeng Wenjie and Zheng Shouyun returned to the Fengyuan Entrepreneurship Base.

"Tsk, they really go all out. He drives a V8, while she drives a W12." Zheng Shouyun clicked his tongue as he sat in Zeng Wenjie's A8.

"President Feng is the president of Marlenia, a big company from Italy. So what if he drives a W12?" Zeng Wenjie sneered dismissively, though he was actually heartbroken.

Zheng Shouyun knew exactly what was going on with the brand called Marlenia, so of course he wouldn't believe Zeng Wenjie's nonsense.

Then, he couldn't help but say, "That's a W12 Audi A8, Mr. Zeng. I wonder if you're interested in men?"

Zeng Wenjie immediately thought of Ye Yixuan's husband and felt a chill run down his spine. He immediately cursed, "If you're disgusted again, I'll get out of here and take a taxi home myself."

Zheng Shouyun started laughing in a strange, mocking way, which made him feel even more disgusted.

Soon, the two arrived at the startup base. Zheng Shouyun returned to his post, while Zeng Wenjie went to find Zeng Mi, whom he hadn't seen for a while.

Zeng Mi stayed at her post, diligently drawing and conceiving new character skins.

The skins definitely need to be exquisitely designed, beautiful, novel, and luxurious so that players will be willing to spend money to buy them!
Her workspace was quite messy, with sticky notes everywhere, containing inspirations and simple compositions.

"How have you been lately? Are you bored during the Qingming Festival holiday?" Zeng Wenjie walked up to her and asked with a smile.

“I’m painting during the Qingming Festival, so it’s not boring,” Zeng Mi said without looking up, as she was painting the modern skin of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.

Zeng Wenjie felt that something was wrong no matter how he looked at it. The character's face didn't look as much like him as the original, but it still looked somewhat similar. Moreover, it had a modern-style skin, so... it actually looked even more like him!

Zeng Wenjie's lips twitched. Even I'm not as cruel and incompetent as Emperor Yang of Sui, am I?!

A moment later, Zeng Mi finished the last bit of work and looked up with a hint of resentment, saying, "You're just going to leave me here and not care about me anymore, are you?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "I definitely didn't have that thought, but I really haven't spent much time with you."

With a touch of melancholy, Zeng Mi once again exuded that lilac-like charm, making any man's heart break at the sight of her.

“I also want a W12 Audi A8,” Zeng Mi said slowly.

“No, you’re only good enough for a Volvo!” Zeng Wenjie said sternly.

"Why should I?" Zeng Mi said, somewhat unconvinced.

Zeng Wenjie gently tapped her head and said, "Think carefully about that car accident. Volvo is known as the safest car in the world. I think it's more suitable for you!"

Zeng Mi felt slightly relieved after hearing this, thinking that Zeng Wenjie was thinking about her safety. She nodded slightly and said, "Okay, Volvo is also good, it suits my temperament quite well."

Volvo primarily markets a low-key, composed, and elegant image, appealing to clients whose professions tend to be lawyers, doctors, teachers, and the like, giving off a cultured vibe.

Audi, on the other hand, exudes a strong executive aura, especially in Northeast China, where people have an almost obsessive love for Audi.

“That’s right, Zeng Mi, you have to be good so you can get candy.” Zeng Wenjie coaxed her with a smile.

"A lollipop, huh?" Zeng Mi said, feeling both annoyed and amused.

Zeng Wenjie then took out a lollipop from his pocket and gave it to her. It was from a snack shop, and he would often put some in his pocket whenever he had a spare moment.

When I need to go to the classroom to find Mu Qingyang, I'll have to rely on this thing to bribe Ouyang Yun, the class monitor.

Zeng Mi was stunned when she saw the lollipop.

Zeng Wenjie then said, "Could it be that I'm being too naive, and you're not talking about this lollipop?"

Zeng Mi reached out and snatched the candy from his hand, tore it open, stuffed it into her mouth, and said, "You filthy scoundrel!"

Zeng Wenjie smiled and asked, "Are you getting used to it yet? If you need anything, feel free to let me know."

Zeng Mi said slowly, "I think everything is fine, not as terrible or difficult as I imagined. However, going to work is indeed a bit annoying, no wonder so many people don't like going to work..."

Zeng Wenjie burst out laughing, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Zeng Mi, you've only been working for a short time, and you're already starting to feel bored! But you're an artist, so your work is much more flexible... If you really don't want to come, you can work from home, as long as you can complete the tasks assigned to you by the company on time."

Zeng Mi said, "It's alright. Let's think about it again after the novelty wears off completely. It's also possible that I've been too tired lately, and I haven't been drinking much either."

Zeng Wenjie glanced at her in surprise.

“I’ve been studying lately, and Feng Ji recommended some books on game art design to me,” Zeng Mi replied earnestly.

Naïve in her thinking, she always believed that she and Zeng Wenjie could stay together forever.

Her choice to study this professional field was not intended to demonstrate her own value, but simply to do something for Zeng Wenjie; her purpose was very pure.

Zeng Mi smiled and said, "Fortunately, I haven't lost my academic foundation, and my friends in the studio are also very professional. If I have any questions, I can ask them directly."

Zeng Wenjie nodded, feeling that Zeng Mi's mental and physical condition was very good and there was no possibility of her being depressed, so he was completely relieved.

"If I had to say what I need... I really need your company," Zeng Mi said softly.

"Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll have some free time to drink with you for a few days."

"Okay, it's a deal!"

"Of course!"

Zeng Mi's work station was separate, so she confidently stood up and hugged the man she liked very much.

Then, Zeng Mi chuckled softly, "Thank you for giving me my freedom."

Zeng Wenjie said, "Actually, you earned it yourself. Don't run away again in the future."

Zeng Mi couldn't help but lightly punch him with her fist, and even wondered if she would have really been taken advantage of by him in the office if she hadn't run away that day!

Zeng Wenjie held Zeng Mi and talked to her for a while. The more time they spent together, the more he realized that Zeng Mi really had the personality of a little girl.

Despite her age, she's still very innocent when it comes to matters of the heart, and can even be a little clingy.

If it weren't for their special status, she probably would have been pestering him all the time.

But Zeng Mi's personality is not annoying at all; in fact, it's a pleasant surprise that makes you want to keep exploring everything about her.

Zheng Shouyun suddenly knocked on the door from the outside and called Zeng Wenjie over.

Zeng Wenjie smiled at Zeng Mi, then walked out and asked, "President Zheng, what is it?"

Zheng Shouyun said, "You'd better come and see the news; it's bad news for you."

Zeng Wenjie followed him to the computer and saw a financial news article. The content and theme were very simple, roughly saying: "Nine City Capital refuses to participate in the Series A financing of Snack Panic, college student entrepreneur may face a major setback?"

Zeng Wenjie shrugged dismissively after reading it and said, "They want to target me, but they don't have the guts, so they deliberately come up with some vague things to disgust people and scare away those who are willing to invest in me. There's no need to pay attention to them."

This Nine Cities Capital can only go this far. If they go any further, Zhuang Aimin will have to step in and deal with them.

Besides, what kind of situation hasn't Little Ma seen? Would he be scared off by such a small rumor?

Once Tencent leads the investment, won't the other investors follow suit and throw money at us?
Zeng Wenjie was quite confident that he could raise 80 million; if it were over 100 million, that would be even better.

Adding even one more number can make a difference in the effectiveness of the publicity.
