In the private room.
Chen Feng, transformed into Wei Xiaobao, sat on the table, and with a lazy demeanor, began to tell a story.
Wei Xiaobao: "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming so close and standing so straight to listen to my storytelling! You're really giving me face. Today, the character I'm going to talk about is Chen Jinnan, the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society. As the saying goes, 'If you haven't met Chen Jinnan in your life, it's presumptuous to call yourself a hero.' He's eight feet tall, and his waist is also eight feet."
Wang Jing: "Wow! So he's square?"
Wei Xiaobao: "Square is square, really. I'm telling you, there are even octagonal ones. His martial arts move is called the 'Nine Heavens Ten Earths Bodhisattva Shakes Head Thunderous Golden Light Lightning Palm.' One palm strike, within a hundred-mile radius, no matter if it's humans, animals, shrimp, crabs, or fleas, they all turn into dust!"
Wang Jing: "Oh, that's amazing! Is that a lie?"
Wei Xiaobao: "Alas! However, this person's whereabouts are uncertain, elusive and traceless, but I once saw half of him by chance!"
Wang Jing: "You either saw him or you didn't. How can you only see half of him?"
Wei Xiaobao: "Because he was covering half of his face! Idiot!"
Wang Jing: "Oh, right!"
Wei Xiaobao: "Haven't you heard of 'like holding a pipa, half-hidden'? Haven't you really read books? You pig!"
Wang Jing: "Huh?"
Wei Xiaobao: "Hahahahaha, although I only saw half of him, it was love at first sight. Without hesitation, I cut off a chicken's head, burned yellow paper, and swore brotherhood with him!"
...
The impromptu performance by Chen Feng was truly masterful.
Everyone who had never seen him interpret this absurd style of character was completely stunned.
Even Xing Ye was speechless.
It was his feeling.
That look in his eyes, that expression, those gestures and movements, he was exactly like Wei Xiaobao in the movies, perhaps even a bit more lewd than his own portrayal.
This young man could act like anything.
This was very strange.
Xing Ye himself couldn't guarantee that he could interpret all roles.
But so far, the types of roles Chen Feng had publicly interpreted already exceeded ten.
Each one was different.
But he interpreted every single one of them to perfection.
Terrifying.
Soon, Chen Feng finished his performance, jumped off the table, and returned to normal. Everyone in the private room applauded and cheered, especially Wang Jing.
He was too familiar with Xing Ye's absurd style of performance.
Back then, after Xing Ye started his own company, Wang Jing once thought about cultivating another absurd comedian.
That person's surname was Ge.
Although he also released two films of the same style, the response was mediocre.
Facts proved that in the history of Chinese cinema, there could only be one Xing Ye.
Any imitation would become a joke of 'drawing a tiger but ending up with a dog.'
But just now, Wang Jing saw an imitation show.
The Wei Xiaobao that Chen Feng portrayed unexpectedly brought him back to the feeling he had when he first watched Xing Ye play Wei Xiaobao.
He was immersed in it.
He even willingly cooperated with him.
This was extraordinary.
Therefore, Wang Jing applauded vigorously, constantly giving thumbs up in praise, while Chen Feng, as always, returned to his humble demeanor.
Finally, Xing Ye spoke.
He looked at Chen Feng and said sincerely, "Mr. Chen, I'm convinced. You are the most adaptable actor I have ever seen."
"You flatter me, Xing Ye."
Chen Feng humbly shook his head.
"It's not flattery, it's the truth."
Xing Ye smiled and shook hands with Chen Feng, saying frankly, "I very much hope to collaborate with Mr. Chen once. I have a new film project that might start shooting in half a year. If Mr. Chen is interested, how about we discuss it in detail later?"
"Good."
Chen Feng nodded without hesitation: "It's also my dream to collaborate with Xing Ye once. Then let's find another time to talk in detail."
"Let's first wish our cooperation a happy one."
Xing Ye raised his glass for the first time.
Chen Feng also picked up his wine glass, and everyone clinked glasses and drank together.
The lunch was enjoyed by both hosts and guests.
...
After the meal.
Wang Jing and Xing Ye and others had other arrangements and left in a hurry.
But Yu Jiadong and Yu Zhiwen, the father and daughter, did not leave.
Their plan was to spend the New Year in Yanjing this year, and they had already found a place to stay.
Yu Jiadong spared no effort in trying to win over Chen Feng.
Mainly because the Yu Family's business and his daughter's future largely depended on Hongren Entertainment's funds, and Chen Feng was Yu Jinhua's boss.
Therefore, buttering up Chen Feng was more important than anything else.
Seeing his worldly and cunning appearance, he almost explicitly said he would give his daughter Yu Zhiwen to Chen Feng as a bedmate.
Around three in the afternoon.
Chen Feng parted ways with Yu Jiadong and his daughter and returned home.
He needed some quiet time.
Meeting Xing Ye had brought him immense gains.
He hadn't expected the role he experienced today to bring so many benefits.
Playing Xu Wenqiang gave him the Qing Gang token, the azure dragon token, and the contact information for the descendants of the 'Qing Gang Ten Sisters.'
Chen Feng took out the azure dragon token from his inventory.
It was an ancient token the size of a palm.
It was full of the sense of its age.
In that era of war and smoke, the Qing Gang in Shanghai was once a super force that ran rampant.
The Qing Gang also produced many famous and influential figures.
It was once as famous as the Hongmen, which evolved from the Heaven and Earth Society.
As for the Qing Gang Ten Sisters, according to the system's explanation, these ten sisters were the ten most famous women in Shanghai during that era.
These ten women were not considered good people.
They all started as prostitutes and thieves, truly the hooligans among female hooligans.
In that turbulent era, they even became a force.
The most famous was Lin Guisheng, Huang Jinrong's wife.
Before Huang Jinrong made his fortune, Lin Guisheng's reputation was even greater than his.
The other nine, if they weren't madams or prostitutes, they were hooligans or murderers. In short, none of them were good people.
Chen Feng was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Why did the system give him the contact information of the descendants of these women?
Could he even use them?
Putting away the azure dragon token, Chen Feng checked the various items he received from embodying Wei Xiaobao.
Among them was a treasure map, the location of the Manchu Dragon Vein treasure vault.
Looking at the approximate location on the treasure map, it should be between the White Mountains and Black Waters in the Northeast.
There was also a hint about the whereabouts of the ink jade orchid.
And then there was the Hongmen token.
This was another item that could restrain the power of the triad gangs derived from the Hongmen.
At least, that's what the system indicated.
Finally, there were those seven marriage contracts.
Very bizarre items.
Mandatory soul contracts.
Once a name was written and a handprint pressed, they would be inseparable for life and unable to betray.
No matter who the target was.
Ignoring the target's identity and status.
The most outrageous thing was the 'polygamy' honor, which was like an aura, giving Chen Feng the special right to simultaneously control many women.
It even disregarded modern laws.
This was completely absurd.
Chen Feng studied them for a long time but still put away the seven marriage contracts.
This thing was too heaven-defying and not needed for now.
Did he really need to rely on such an item to find a wife?
That would be too embarrassing.
After examining all the rewards, Chen Feng stretched lazily and leaned back on the sofa.
It was only one day until New Year's Eve.
He would go back to his hometown then.
And reunite with his parents for a few days.
After the New Year, he would report to Lao Mouzi.
