Chapter 40 — Dating
Part 1
Chu Feng and Rong Xun waited for nearly fifteen minutes, and finally it was their turn. The restaurant was not big, the light was relatively dim, and the style leaned on tropical rainforests, and it felt relatively new. The waiter took them to a two-person seat, and then handed them a paper menu, asking them to draw out what they wanted to eat, and just order them directly.
Rong Xun had never eaten this kind of dish, and he had a little difficulty in choosing the foods on the menu. Chu Feng had eaten Southeast Asian food a few times, but Rong Xun really didn't know what to order, so Chu Feng could only order it.
After finishing the order, Chu Feng called the waiter, who checked the menu and recommended the signature dish of Durian Cheese Grilled Cake to them.
Rong Xun and Chu Feng weren’t people who didn’t eat durians, and Rong Xun was quite interested in this kind of food. He turned to look at Chu Feng and asked for his choice.
Chu Feng smiled and said, “If you want to eat, we will buy it at night and take it back. It is not appropriate to eat it now.”
Rong Xun blinked, wondering what this “inappropriate” meant, but since Chu Feng said that he could buy it at night, he would wait until the evening.
After the waiter left, Chu Feng looked around. This dark lighting was really especially suitable for couples dating, if friends or family were dining together here, it might feel a little depressing.
Just as Chu Feng was about to withdraw his gaze, his eyebrows suddenly frowned— he saw two men sitting in a corner near a decorative tree eating together, behaving intimately. If they were just two ordinary men, Chu Feng wouldn’t care much, but those two weren’t just strangers, it was Qian Nian’s agent Lu Ke and the male actor Shang Lei who was vying for a position with Qian Nian.
Chu Feng had seen Lu Ke many times, and it was impossible for him to admit a wrong person. It was just that Lu Ke was younger than when he first met him, and it was even less likely to mistake Shang Lei for someone. Although Shang Lei wasn’t very popular now, he had only shot a few print ads, and ran a few times in the Dragon Set, but after Qian Nian’s accident, Shang Lei almost brushed the screen's exposure rate. Chu Feng remembered even if he didn't go to look deliberately.
The two people now dared to date out like this, one was because Lu Ke was just an agent, generally no one would notice him. The second was because Shang Lei wasn’t famous yet, the probability of going out and meeting fans was very small.
The corners of Chu Feng's mouth raised, he thought: Unfortunately, these two people are not very lucky, and actually met him. He was thinking how to let Qian Nian kick off Lu Ke early and see the reality, but now it was really a no-brainer. It seemed that the heavens were really looking over him and were helping Qian Nian.
“What's wrong?” Rong Xun asked when he saw that he was thinking something.
Chu Feng smiled at him and said, “It's nothing, I'll go to the bathroom.”
“Okay.” Rong Xun nodded and didn't think too much.
Chu Feng didn’t go to the bathroom. After all, there were so many people there that it was inconvenient to speak. Next to the bathroom was the shop door. Chu Feng walked out, found a less conspicuous place, and dialed his father’s number. When he came out just now, he walked around for a while, passing by Lu Ke and Shang Lei, and once again confirmed that he wasn’t mistaken.
“Hello?” Chu Tang’s voice came over the phone.
“Dad, is it convenient to talk now?” Chu Feng said, “I have something very important to tell you.”
“Wait a moment.” Chu Tang was quiet for a while, as if looking for a place to talk.
In fact, Chu Feng's first thought was to call Bai Fei. With Bai Fei's current ability, it wasn’t difficult to find two paparazzi reporters to follow along with them, but he quickly rejected this idea, after all, it had nothing to do with Bai Fei directly, and the circle was so big that there could be no permanent secrets. With Bai Fei's current contacts, if the person he was looking for was unreliable, he would sway the matter to Lu Ke, and Lu Ke took the opportunity to provoke Qian Nian, and they would be the ones who would suffer. So, after thinking about it, Chu Feng felt that there was nothing more reliable than telling his father directly. After all, there were no people in this circle who dared to offend his father.
“What's the matter?” After a while, Chu Tang's voice came from over there again.
“Dad, have you considered the matter of digging Qian Nian to Xingyi?” Chu Feng asked.
“What's wrong?” About the company, Chu Tang basically wouldn't mention it to Chu Feng. Although Chu Feng was his heir, he was still a student. He was planning to wait for Chu Feng to enter the company after he was in his junior year to come and learn.
“I saw Qian Nian’s agent Lu Ke and Shang Lei having a meal together in the restaurant. They were a little intimate…” Chu Feng said that he had already made up the words. “Although I don't know much about the entertainment industry, Lu Ke is Qian Nian’s agent. He has been living with Shang Lei to this day, and I always feel that something is wrong. Brother Bai also told me before that a proper distance should be kept between the agent and the artist who are not his staff. Lu Ke is like this, I don’t know if I’m just overthinking.”
The relationship between the agent and the artist was a cooperational relationship. This relationship was actually very close to a certain extent. In order to make the artist trust themselves and maintain a good cooperative relationship, the agent would pay more attention to the interaction with other artists. It was one thing to socialize with others, and it was another thing to be too intimate. This was a taboo among the artists.
Chu Tang was silent for a moment, and asked, “How did you know Lu Ke?” In his impression, Chu Feng probably didn't know Lu Ke at all. Chu Feng was more likely to know Shang Lei, after all, he was a celebrity.
Chu Feng knew that his father would doubt him, and he had already figured out the reason, and smiled calmly: “Didn’t I tell you that I admire Qiannian? Sometimes there are some fans on the Internet who take pictures of Qian Nian. Lu Ke will help Qian Nian when he gets off the plane, and sometimes he will be photographed together. Naturally, I have an impression since I read too much.”
Chu Feng’s reason was actually valid. Even if Chu Tang checked the photos now, he could still find Lu Ke’s face.
