"I don't think so." Sheng Chenfeng shook his head. "He has been growing in a hothouse, gets arrogant when people praise him and loses temper when somebody shines over him. You should let him grow gradually."

Zhou Daiwei frowned. "Well, let me show you first. If you think he's ok, we'll groom him furthermore. If not, we will cut him loose." Zhou Daiwei didn't want to lose such a good lover in bed.

"Well, then let’s go have a look." Sheng Chenfeng held his wine glass and walked towards Song Yang with Zhou Daiwei following behind.

Song Yang was still not reconciled to Gu Xingxi, he turned around and suddenly saw Zhou Daiwei and Sheng Chenfeng walking slowly towards him carrying their red wine. He immediately put away the resentment in his eyes.

He knew, of course, that Zhou Daiwei was deliberately introducing him to Sheng Chenfeng, and he was secretly pleased and was thinking that he must give a good performance. But he did not expect that Sheng Chenfeng suddenly turned his direction and walked towards Gu Xingxi as he was approaching Song Yang.

"Daiwei, let’s go over there first." Sheng Chenfeng was drawn to Xia Xingcheng at last and left Song Yang hanging.

Zhou Daiwei was not looking pleased, but he couldn’t disagree. He could only nod and secretly glanced at song Yang.

Song Yang was furious but also helpless, he could only curse Gu Xingxi silently for snatching his opportunity.

Xia Xingcheng was chatting with Gu Xingxi, and at the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of those two men coming over, she could not help but frown.

"Miss Xia, I haven't seen you in a few days. You are becoming more and more charming." Sheng Chenfeng raised his glass and praised Xia Xingcheng heartily.

After all, it was the company's party, Xia Xingcheng could not ignore him, she could only drink with him politely.

"Mr. Sheng is also looking dashing today."

Hearing Xia Xingcheng's praise, Sheng Chenfeng was obviously very pleased and burst into a big laugh immediately.

"Ha-ha, Miss Xia, you are excellent. I heard that Gu Xingxi was giving a role in "Love Through Time 2". It's all because of you. You have contributed a lot in such a short period of time. I was not wrong about you.”

Sheng Chenfeng had been saying nice things to her. Seeing that Xia Xingcheng did not show too much expression, so Sheng Chenfeng looked at Gu Xingxi beside her and said meaningfully. "Gu Xingxi, you should try your best to live up to Miss Xia's painstaking efforts."

"Mr. Sheng, rest assured, I will work hard and do my best." Gu Xingxi bowed humbly.

He could feel Zhou Daiwei had been staring at him, so unconsciously, his body was intense.

Xia Xingcheng also noticed it and became more irritated. She was not looking flattered after Sheng Chenfeng’s praises.

"Thank you, Mr. Sheng. It is my duty to contribute to the company." Xia Xingcheng sounded polite and distant.

Sheng Chenfeng was feeling a little bit lost. He had dressed up nice tonight, looking handsome and charming, there had been a lot of actresses coming at him to flirt. But why didn’t Xia Xingcheng seem impressed and was completely ignoring him?

But the more Xia Xingcheng ignored him, the more Sheng Chenfeng liked her and wanted her somehow.

Zhou Daiwei was a very smart man. Noticing the awkward silence, he immediately raised his glass and said with a smile, "Ok, Mr. Sheng, Miss Xia, let’s not talk about work, forget about work. Here's a toast to you."

In fact, Xia Xingcheng had just been toasted and drank a lot, at this point she was slightly drunk already. But since Zhou Daiwei had said so, she could not refuse, and could only finish her glass of wine reluctantly.

"Great. Miss Xia can really hold your liquor." Zhou Daiwei praised Xia Xingcheng repeatedly and gave a subtle look at Sheng Chenfeng secretly while Xia Xingcheng was not looking.

Suddenly a trace of interest flashed through Sheng Chenfeng’s eyes, he became excited secretly.

At the same time…

In a VIP box in the restaurant downstairs at the Kaisheng hotel, Sheng Yeting, Jiang Xiyun, and Liang Fengyue were having dinner.

As Jiang Xiyun said, it was a special welcome home dinner for Liang Fengyue. So they picked out his hotel, especially because this place was so expensive!

Liang Fengyue wore a pale blue dress today. Her long hair rolled up slightly, her makeup was obviously delicate, and her slightly curved lips indicated clearly that she was happy.

At all times, Liang Fengyue's eyesight never left Sheng Yeting's body, and the love in her eyes could not be hidden.

Taking a delicate box out of the bag and placing it in front of Sheng Yeting, Liang Fengyue's voice was filled with anticipation. "Yeting, this is a gift I brought back for you from abroad. Do you like it?"

Seeing this, Jiang Xiyun suddenly became unhappy. He pretended to be jealous and said: "Hey, only he has a present. What about me? Where is mine?”

Liang Fengyue laughed and said, "Don't worry. I won't forget you. This is yours.” She took out another box from the bag and gave it to Jiang Xiyun.

Jiang Xiyun opened it eagerly, only to find a limited-edition Armani leather belt that could be bought at home easily for a small fee.

Even so, Jiang Xiyun still felt happy that it was a gift from Liang Fengyue.

"Bro, let me see what you got." Jiang Xiyun couldn't help but look up and ask.

Sheng Yeting was irritated by this. And seeing the way Liang Fengyue was looking forward to it, he could only open the box, and it was a nice pair of cufflinks.

The cufflinks were silvery-white and gave off a slight glow under the lamplight. They were obviously pricey and hard to find in the market.

When Jiang Xiyun saw the contrast between such a weighty gift and his, he felt unhappy. "Fengyue, you are too partial." he said.

Liang Fengyue was not in the mood to explain it to Jiang Xiyun, she was looking at Sheng Yeting with anticipation. She asked carefully: "Do you like it?"

However, Sheng Yeting's reaction was a bit mediocre, there were no surprises in his eyes.

"I already have a lot of cufflinks. But you, you should improve your taste." Then he closed the lid of the box and placed it directly in front of Jiang Xiyun.

Liang Fengyue's face suddenly became pale, but she didn't dare to show it too obviously. She could only give Sheng Yeting a resentful look.

Of course, Jiang Xiyun could see that. The box in front of him was like a hot potato. He went silent for a moment, then accepted the gift with a smile and said: "Well, I will accept it. I'm so lucky to get two gifts in one day."
