Chapter 57: I Have No Feelings for You

"What should I do!"

After hanging up, Wen Keke felt a bit at a loss.

She thought for a moment and dialed Zhu Li's cell phone.

Zhu Li's characteristic lazy voice rang out, "Miss Keke, it's the weekend, even a lazy sleep gets you woken up!"

"Zhu Li, I'm in trouble!"

Then Wen Keke told Zhu Li that her mother was coming to Yanjing with someone for a matchmaking.

Zhu Li "Puchi" laughed, "What era is this, still doing matchmakings!"

Wen Keke grew a bit anxious, "Don't make fun of me, help me think of a solution, what should I do!"

Zhu Li "Hmm" twice said, "Alright then! This way: in the afternoon you pick them up, then go to a nearby café or tea house, handle it briefly, then politely decline."

I tell you, little imp Keke, you must make your words final; otherwise the guy will still have hopes, which would be troublesome. Of course, if you fall for him at first sight, you can develop things later!

"And then?"

Wen Keke asked again.

"Then..."

Zhu Li smiled, "What else is there? Bring your mom to your place, and on Sunday take her around Yanjing for a tour!"

"What if it doesn't go smoothly?"

Wen Keke asked weakly.

Zhu Li said, "If you don't know what to do then, call me, okay?"

"Alright!"

Wen Keke nodded.

Qi Yao went to work early in the morning.

Although the suspect had been caught, Qi Yao still had more than one case to handle.

After waking up, Lin Feng quickly slipped away.

He didn't know why, but he felt that without the House Guarding Divine Beast, even on a Tàiyáng day the room was still cold and gloomy.

Weekends are an extremely busy period for Lin Feng.

It's time to terminate the lease.

He visited, found the appliances intact, all fees paid, then returned the tenant's deposit.

He also changed the lock's Password; if it wasn't a password lock, he just called someone to replace the lock core.

Besides terminating leases, he either went to collect rent or showed the place to new tenants.

Over a thousand apartments spread over a week, each week he had to handle about twenty to thirty such matters.

After a busy morning, Lin Feng returned to his apartment in Tianfu Ruijing.

He turned on the computer, went online, and posted rental listings.

After finishing, Lin Feng checked the time; it was already 2 p. m.

At that moment Zhu Li called.

"Dear, I've missed you."

Hearing Lin Feng's voice, Zhu Li said sweetly.

Lin Feng smiled, "I've been busy lately!"

Zhu Li didn't ask what he was busy with, and said, "I have something to tell you: Keke's mother arrived, and she brought Keke's matchmaking partner."

Zhu Li hesitated for a long time before deciding to tell Lin Feng.

Lin Feng smiled, "If she wants a matchmaking, let her go! What does it have to do with me?"

"Yo~"

Zhu Li laughed, "So you were that nice to us before, you've been after me all along! I always thought you had your eye on Keke."

Lin Feng, with a self‑satisfied look, said, "This kind of matchmaking will definitely go sour; just watch."

"Will you come over tonight? I miss you."

Zhu Li asked in a coquettish voice.

"Okay!"

Lin Feng nodded.

Zhu Li was overjoyed.

Lin Feng arrived at the "Ancient Rhythm Cultural Photography Studio".

It had already opened, and he didn't know how business was.

On the second floor, he found the lobby filled with customers.

They were all young men and women.

The female staff, dressed in traditional costumes, handed thick photo albums to the customers.

The whole lobby was arranged in a strong ancient style, scented with sandalwood, creating a great atmosphere.

Lin Feng went to the office to ask, but Han Xiang was not there.

She had come that morning to help organize costumes and guide the makeup artists.

Then Lin Feng inquired about the business situation.

Manager Zhou Yan opened the computer and saw that they had officially opened yesterday and distributed many flyers.

Today many customers came, already completing over a dozen orders, averaging more than two thousand yuan each.

After expenses, there was basically no profit.

Lin Feng said nothing and left directly.

This is only the beginning; the fame and reputation haven't been built yet.

When the name spreads later, there will be hundreds of orders a day.

Vintage‑style photography is only one of the company's services; more business will be expanded later.

Right, it's also time to get in touch with my aunt.

Now my aunt's Great Flag Media has finished its integration, it's all in the news, and they're preparing to invest in a film!

They say they've also hired a well‑known domestic director.

Even though it's Saturday, some departments of Great Flag Media are still working overtime.

As the company's eo, Liang Shishi is even busier.

The company has just completed its integration, and a myriad of various small and large matters are all tangled.

Just the meetings alone have already been held several times.

As a major shareholder of the company, Lin Feng was originally supposed to attend some meetings.

But he's lazy, so he handed the decision‑making power to Liang Shishi, letting her execute on his behalf.

He arrived at the 36th floor of Jiachen Dasha and stood at the doorway of his aunt's office.

Seeing the door was open, Lin Feng knocked twice.

Liang Shishi, who was sitting behind the desk reviewing documents, looked up.

When she realized it was Lin Feng, a smile instantly appeared on her cold face.

"Busy, huh, General Manager Liang!"

Lin Feng greeted and sat down on the sofa.

Liang Shishi stood up, closed the office door, folded her arms against the desk, and looked at Lin Feng with a mocking smile, "Handsome Lin, I haven't seen anyone for several days—where have you been?"

Lin Feng said proudly, "I'm now a consultant for the police bureau, recently helping with investigations!"

"Wow! You actually got into the police bureau, impressive!"

Liang Shishi looked surprised.

As a landlord, Lin Feng can trade stocks, which can be seen as inheriting his sister and brother‑in‑law's business talent.

But investigations… the Lin family hasn't had a single ancestor in three generations who was even a constable.

Lin Feng chuckled, "I'm just a junior consultant, not a formal staff member. I came today because I have something to tell you, Aunt."

"What is it?" Liang Shishi asked.

Lin Feng recounted the situation on Han Xiang's side.

"Han Xiang, I think you're a beauty, right? With that, you just solved one of my *** annoyances."

Saying that, Liang Shishi immediately turned, bent down, and grabbed the desk phone.

Lin Feng glanced, and his blood suddenly surged.

My aunt is wearing a short skirt right now!

I don't know if she did it on purpose.

Lin Feng isn't stupid; he's analyzed the "accident" many times, and Liang Shishi's usual words and actions toward him always make him feel she's teasing him.

Liang Shishi dialed a number on the desk phone.

The call connected quickly, and Liang Shishi said with a smile, "Director Zhang, I've found a batch of costumes; you can come over to see them… Of course, if you're not satisfied, we can spend money to make them ourselves, and delaying the shooting schedule is fine… Alright, alright, I'll send you the contact details right away."

After hanging up, Liang Shishi extended her hand to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng pulled a business card from his pocket and handed it to Liang Shishi, teasing, "You, as an eo, have to handle even such small matters yourself?"

Liang Shishi chuckled, "I'm a big name; you have to give me some face, right?"

Liang Shishi then photographed the business card with her phone and sent the image to Director Zhang.

"What movie are you filming?"

Lin Feng asked curiously.

Liang Shishi said, "It's called 'Tang Jin', a Tang‑dynasty art film, probably a critically acclaimed but not box‑office hit. The total investment is 300 million, and we invested 200 million…"

Lin Feng had never even heard of that movie title.

But since it's to boost Great Flag Media's fame, spending a bit of money to hire a famous director at the start is normal.

Sometimes making a film isn't just about the movie; it's also a way to build various industry connections.

Because Great Flag Media has emerged, the entertainment industry has already diverged from Lin Feng's memories.

Lin Feng isn't worried; even if this newly founded Great Flag company becomes an industry giant in the future, that's still several years away and unlikely to affect world affairs.

"Next time we invest in a film or TV drama, I want to see the project…"

Lin Feng thought for a moment and said seriously.

"No problem! You're a major shareholder of the company."

Liang Shishi agreed promptly.

After the business talk, Liang Shishi rubbed her neck, "Go to the inner room and give aunt a massage."

"There are people outside."

Lin Feng reminded.

Liang Shishi immediately locked the office door from the inside, "Isn't that better now?"

At the same moment, Wen Keke had already received people at the airport.

Mother Chen Chunhua, Peng Cailan, and Peng Cailan's son Cao Ming.

Chen Chunhua is forty‑four, well‑maintained, her face bears a few resemblances to her daughter Wen Keke, and it's clear she was a beauty in her youth.

Peng Cailan is a bit older, already a little plump, with brown‑golden curly hair.

Cao Ming wears glasses, stands about a meter tall, is slender, and gives off a very shrewd impression.

Wen Keke, following Zhu Li's suggestion, after picking up the person, took them to a nearby coffee shop.

Wen Keke wore a white dress, bare‑faced, with her long hair loose.

But her face was good‑looking, and even so, she was very beautiful.

After sitting down, Cao Ming kept glancing at Wen Keke, then exchanged looks with his mother Peng Cailan; he was very pleased with Wen Keke.

Chen Chunhua laughed and said, "Keke, you and Cao Ming played together when you were kids; after a little interaction you'll feel familiar. He's taking leave this time, and if you get along, he will apply to be transferred to Yanjing for work. Then…"

Before Chen Chunhua could finish, Wen Keke frowned and said, "Mom, what are you saying! I didn't understand what you meant."

Chen Chunhua opened her mouth to explain, but Wen Keke turned to Cao Ming and said, "Cao Ming, I'm in the upward phase of my career, I won't consider marriage. Moreover… let me be blunt! Since we met, I have no feelings for you."

As soon as the words fell, Peng Cailan and Cao Ming both showed awkward expressions on their faces.

Chen Chunhua quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Let's not bring this up now; we've come all the way to Yanjing, so let's treat it as a trip together. Keke, your place is spacious, so you can stay at yours tonight!"

Wen Keke gave no reply, stood up and said, "I'll go to the restroom first."

After reaching the restroom, Wen Keke quickly called Zhu Li.

"Zhu Li, my mom wants those two people to stay at my place; I can't refuse. What should I do?"

Zhu Li felt embarrassed.

She had already made plans with Lin Feng to be together that night.

Now…

After hesitating, Zhu Li complained, "You silly girl, I see you'll end up being sold and have to pay people later. I'm fed up with you; I'll go over right now, and you can say we're sharing a rental…"

Zhu Li gave her instructions.

After hanging up, Wen Keke returned to her seat.

Then she smiled and said, "I just called my close friend; she's sharing the rental with me. I originally wanted her to free up a spot, but she has nowhere to go either."

"I see…"

Chen Chunhua frowned, her face full of unease.

When she arrived, she had promised Peng Cailan and Cao Ming to help solve the lodging problem.

Peng Cailan laughed at that moment, saying, "We could stay at a hotel!"

Chen Chunhua nodded, then said, "Keke, it's still early, so please have Aunt Peng and Brother Cao come home for a meal!"

This left Wen Keke unable to refuse, so she had to agree.

When Wen Keke went to get the car, Peng Cailan, frowning, said to Chen Chunhua, "Sister, it seems your Keke doesn't like my Cao Ming at all!"

Chen Chunhua laughed, "Young people often have initial resistance; a little interaction will fix it."

Peng Cailan nodded, "That's true! My Cao Ming is handsome, has a good temper, is a civil servant, and has a stable job. If they marry in the future, he'll definitely treat Keke well."

Chen Chunhua laughed, "Exactly! I've watched Cao Ming grow up; this kid is reliable!"
