Chapter 1358: Chapter 705: The Third-Party Alliance (Part 2)
The unique case of Hong Xiaodan doesn’t even need mentioning; it should be her who’s letting Chen Feng down.
Lin Yujiao: [He’s not a scoundrel; it’s just us who are too obsessed with him, like moths to a flame, surrounding him]
Liu Ying: [What’s with the "moths to a flame"? That’s too pessimistic. We haven’t chosen to kill ourselves. It’s just that Chen Feng is very attractive to us, so we all like him and want a long-lasting relationship with him. Now Wu Mengting wants to break up with us, so we had no choice but to unite and resist]
Hong Xiaodan: [Exactly, that’s it. We don’t ask to replace Wu Mengting, we just want to first remove her from Chen Feng’s side, find a way to break them up, or make Chen Feng dump her]
Guo Mengyao: [Okay, let’s brainstorm together; how can we make them break up? Any good suggestions or ideas, share them with us, let’s discuss together, pooling our efforts, we’ll surely find a way]
Liu Ying: [I think this mainly falls on Little Rui; she’s been around Chen Feng the earliest and living with Chen Feng and Wu Mengting for so long, she knows them better]
Guo Mengyao: [Little Rui’s role is crucial, but we can’t all rely on her to figure it out; since we’re allied, everyone should contribute their part]
Hong Xiaodan: [Perhaps we could hire a very handsome guy to seduce her, then take some intimate photos of them and reveal them to Chen Feng]
Guo Mengyao: [That’s an idea, but it’s difficult to execute; first, we need someone who catches Wu Mengting’s eye, and then to make her interested, which is really hard]
Lin Yujiao: [This idea definitely won’t work. Mengting is very devoted, she’s been persistent even when Chen Feng tried to talk her out of it several times. She’s so dedicated and stubborn, how could she possibly switch sides?]
Liu Ying: [It’s not about making her change her feelings, but creating a scandal for Chen Feng to misunderstand. Men can’t tolerate their own women flirting with other men.]
Guo Mengyao: [That’s indeed an approach, but again, finding the right guy is tough. If he’s just an average-looking guy or not to Wu Mengting’s taste, even with a scandal, Chen Feng wouldn’t believe it. We must make Chen Feng believe it.]
Liu Ying: [Maybe consider hiring a male celebrity. Wu Mengting is a highly popular TV producer now, and a renowned screenwriter. You’ve seen "Green Jade Case", right? It’s a drama she personally wrote, the story is brilliant, and the filming is great. It’s the hottest drama recently, I’ve been following it these days.]
Hong Xiaodan: [That’s a good plan. As a screenwriter and producer, she’s bound to interact with the actors in the crew, we could seize the chance to bribe one or two, preferably male stars, to create a romantic scandal with her and then expose it to Chen Feng.]
Guo Mengyao: [It’s a good plan, but do you have any connections to contact or bribe a male celebrity?]
Liu Ying: [I’ve been at Fengmang Film and Television Company, I can still dig into some company insider info. With the broadcast of "Green Jade Case", Wu Mengting is ambitious and wants to produce another historical drama that she will write. She will definitely recruit actors then, and we can seize the chance to bribe a male star under the pretense of backdoor dealings to get close to her and create romantic tensions.]
Guo Mengyao: [How long now till then?]
Liu Ying: [It shouldn’t be long; within a few days, we should have news. For specifics, we could ask Little Rui; she’s still working at the company and should know better.]
Liu Ying immediately mentioned Sun Xiaorui but there was no response from the other end.
Guo Mengyao: [Let’s ask Little Rui later on. If it’s within days, we can wait; if it’s ten days, half a month, or even one or two months later, we can’t wait and must come up with other solutions. Ah Jiao, Xiao Hui, do either of you have good ideas?]
Lin Yujiao: [I don’t have any.]
Liu Ying: [Is it that you don’t have them or don’t want to say them?]
Yu Xiaohui originally wanted to follow up saying she had no idea, but after seeing Liu Ying’s pushiness, she reconsidered and typed her suggestion: [I think we should work on Chen Feng.]
Guo Mengyao: [How?]
Yu Xiaohui: [Chen Feng is a male chauvinist, whereas Wu Mengting is very assertive; their personalities already have some conflicts. We could find ways to deepen and expand this conflict.]
Liu Ying: [Your analysis is spot on, but what can we do to deepen their conflict?]
Lin Yujiao: [It won’t work. Chen Feng might have some chauvinistic tendencies, but his personality isn’t especially assertive, and he doesn’t have that typical male chauvinist mindset. For instance, he hands over the company’s power to three women and becomes a hands-off shopkeeper, staying home every day.]
Liu Ying: [Stop being pessimistic and contradicting, okay? If you don’t want to join us against Wu Mengting, you better leave the group.]
Obviously, Liu Ying held a grudge against Lin Yujiao.
Fed up with being targeted, Lin Yujiao quickly typed: [Then I’ll leave; I never wanted in from the start.]
Not long after, Lin Yujiao really left the group. In truth, she was dragged in by Jin Xinyan.
Compared to Yu Xiaohui’s personality, she was now more laid-back, almost indifferent.
While she liked Chen Feng, she had no hope of forming a lasting relationship with him.
Additionally, having been self-reliant since childhood, she had a decent income and was uninterested in the plot to break up Chen Feng and Wu Mengting, even feeling disdain towards it.
Guo Mengyao: [Can’t everyone just say one less thing? This mess—I’ll pull her back in; Liu Ying, don’t target her anymore.]
Liu Ying: [I’m not targeting her; she keeps being vague and contradicting, which annoys me. I think it’s better not to pull her back in; didn’t you notice she said she never wanted in our group? Pulling her in only discourages everyone.]
Guo Mengyao: [I’ll contact her first.]
Guo Mengyao quickly called Lin Yujiao.
"Ah Jiao, what are you doing? You’ve only been in the group for two days and now you want out; you’re crushing our alliance’s morale."
Confronted by Guo Mengyao’s implied reproach, Lin Yujiao bluntly said, "I don’t want to be part of your alliance; it was Xinyan who insisted on dragging me in."
"Don’t you want to keep close relations with Chen Feng? Aren’t you worried he’ll dump you soon?"
Lin Yujiao replied firmly, "I’m not worried; I plan to move out of his villa in a few days."
"Are you really willing?" Guo Mengyao was a bit surprised.
"What good would unwillingness do? Chen Feng now has so many women, which is abnormal anyway. If Wu Mengting can handle them, that’s fine. I won’t compete with her, nor do I have the qualification or necessity to compete."
