After the divorce, I started to transfer
Chapter 1863 Dinner for Two
After hearing Luna's introduction, Chen Feng actually became somewhat interested in Rebecca.
However, Chen Feng was not harboring any lustful intentions; he was simply interested in her as a person and wanted to get to know her.
"Do you have a picture of her? Let me see," Chen Feng said with a hint of curiosity.
Luna teased, "You're already interested in her? Want me to help you?"
Chen Feng shook his head and denied it, saying, "I'm just a little curious about her as a person, nothing else. Don't overthink it."
Luna smiled and didn't pursue the matter further. She quickly took out her phone, found Rebecca's photo, and showed it to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng took her phone and looked at a few photos of Rebecca. She was indeed beautiful, with a wild look in her eyes, and her clothing style was somewhat androgynous. Some of the photos showed her with short hair. Chen Feng personally felt that she did look like a boy with short hair, and she did look very cool.
After looking at a dozen or so photos, Chen Feng handed the phone back to Luna.
"So? She's pretty, isn't she?" Luna winked at Chen Feng with a smile. "If you're really interested in her, I can really help you. I'm also curious whether she'll fall for you. After all, you're perfect in my eyes. If she's not interested in a perfect man like you, then I'll really question her sexual orientation."
Chen Feng quickly said, "Judging from the photos, she is indeed quite pretty, no less so than you. But I really have no interest in her. So please don't cause any trouble."
"You really have no interest in her?" Luna looked at Chen Feng with a suspicious expression.
"I'm really not interested," Chen Feng shook his head, his expression natural.
"Alright then, I really was planning to introduce her to you. After all, you're such a womanizer, and she doesn't belong to me alone. If Rebecca happens to like you, I really won't mind." Luna looked a little disappointed.
Chen Feng glanced at her and said, "Thank you for your kindness."
Luna smiled, then leaned closer and affectionately took his arm, saying, "Are you free tomorrow? I'd like to introduce you to Rebecca, and we can all have dinner together. Ideally, we could go to a bar to see her live performance; it'll definitely amaze you."
Chen Feng also wanted to get to know Rebecca, so after thinking for a moment, he said, "I should be free tomorrow afternoon. But it's not certain, we'll see. If we're going to the bar to see her perform, around what time? If it's in the early morning, I won't go."
Luna quickly replied, "It's not early morning. Her performances at the bar usually start at 10 p.m. and last for an hour, ending at 11 p.m.
"Okay then, I can go check it out later." Chen Feng hadn't been to any bars around here before and wanted to go check it out. He was mainly curious about Rebecca's live performance.
“Then it’s settled,” Luna said happily.
"Alright, let's not talk about your friend for now. Let's talk about yourself. How long has it been since you went back to see your parents?" This was a rather serious question, which immediately stumped Luna and made her mood a little down.
"The last time I saw my parents was last Christmas. It's been more than half a year. I usually just video chat with them occasionally. I mainly contact my mom. As for my dad, he's a quiet person and doesn't talk much. I'm older now, so there are some things I can't talk to him about. I mostly talk to my mom."
"Then go see them when you have time. It won't take long to fly there. You won't have to worry about money anymore. I'll transfer $2 to your bank account every month."
Luna was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Isn't this too much?"
She works in the modeling industry and knows the going rate in Los Angeles very well. For example, many of her colleagues in her company, also models, are financially supported on a long-term basis. As far as she knows, the highest they earn is around $12,000 a month. $15,000 is for top-tier influencers and those with some minor celebrity status.
Of course, this is just the fixed compensation. Other additional needs, such as buying her a handbag, or gifts for holidays or birthdays, will incur separate expenses. Just like Chen Feng, the $10 he gave her to buy a nice car was an extra expense, which could be considered Chen Feng's welcoming gift to him.
To be honest, $2 a month was quite a huge honor for her. She's just a small-time model, and her basic rate is only a few thousand dollars a month, at most $1.
Chen Feng was pleased with her reaction and smiled, saying, "I was worried you'd think it was too little, but you think it's too much."
Chen Feng, of course, was unaware of the market situation here. He had only briefly compared prices here with those in Xiuzhou before giving this approximate price.
In Xiuzhou, Chen Feng gave Xiao Rui and the others 5 yuan a month in pocket money, which was relatively high compared to the local average income.
In Los Angeles, a monthly income of $10,000 is above the median and considered high. So adding another $10,000 or $20,000 would be quite reasonable.
“How could I possibly complain about $2 a month? Do you know how much I’ve earned in my long career as a model? Only a little over $8000 a month, and that was after I worked almost non-stop for a month, running around doing gigs every day. Of course, that’s after deducting the agent’s commission and the company’s commission, so I only get about half of that.”
"As long as you don't mind the amount, it's fine. And I believe you will definitely earn a lot of money in the future and become a famous international supermodel."
Luna loved hearing these auspicious words, and a happy smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Thank you. With your support and help, I feel like I might become an international supermodel someday. When that time comes, I might dump you. Don't regret it, and don't blame me."
Chen Feng said confidently, "If you really intend to break up with me by then, I will never regret it, nor will I blame you. On the contrary, I will wish you well."
Chen Feng was already a seasoned player in the dating scene. He could tell that Luna was still somewhat attached to him, and that she had even developed feelings for him and fallen in love with him.
Therefore, he is very confident. Even if Luna becomes an international supermodel in the future, it will likely be difficult for her to decide to break up with him. He has the confidence and ability to back it up. He is also quite confident in his own charm.
Seeing his confident demeanor, Luna felt a little annoyed and snorted, "Remember what you said today, so you won't regret it later."
Chen Feng smiled and didn't take it seriously. The two chatted for a while longer before Brina came out wrapped in a bathrobe.
Luna frowned upon seeing Brina's appearance. Chen Feng had just taken a shower and emerged in new clothes, while Brina was wearing a bathrobe, clearly treating the place as her own territory.
"What are you two talking about? I think I heard you having a good time." Brina walked over casually and sat down next to Chen Feng.
Before Chen Feng could answer, Luna spoke up, "We were talking about how John helped me out of trouble. I was being targeted by a senior executive at my company, and he got his friends here to help me get that executive fired. Plus, the company boss personally called me to apologize and promised to mentor me and train me to become an international supermodel. All of this is thanks to John, and I'm really touched." She said this, of course, to show off Chen Feng's affection for her. She also wanted to deliberately annoy Brina.
Brina was genuinely annoyed by her words. She thought, "You can keep this to yourself, but to say it out loud and brag about it in front of me is going too far. Do you think I'm made of clay?"
However, although she was angry inside, she didn't show it on her face, after all, Chen Feng was still by her side.
Brina laughed and asked in return, "So you're a model? Someone as pretty as you must have been quite famous before, right? What commercials have you done? I might have seen them."
In fact, although Luna has filmed some commercials, they are all relatively unknown. Most of them are print ads, published online, with fewer in newspapers and magazines. She hasn't even filmed a television commercial yet.
So Brina's comment was clearly meant to upset her. It was a deliberate attempt to reopen old wounds. She started modeling at 18 and has been doing it for three years now. Yet, she hasn't made a ripple in the modeling world.
Luna, of course, couldn't tell the truth that she had no fame at all. Not wanting to lose face, she immediately feigned modesty, saying, "I've only just started out. I'm still young, so my fame isn't very big. I've only done a few dozen print ads and walked the runway a few times. However, with John's help, the company will be giving me a lot of support. That's what my boss promised me personally. My schedule will probably be quite busy from now on, and you might see me on TV someday."
Upon hearing this, Brina chuckled twice and said, seemingly very sincerely, "Then I congratulate you in advance. You might really become an international supermodel in the future. I'll ask for your autograph and a photo to post on my WeChat Moments."
Luna chuckled and said, "I can give you an autograph right now and take a picture with you. When I become an international supermodel, you can show it off."
Brina waved her hand with a forced smile and said, "There's no rush. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Of course, you'll have to become an international supermodel first."
That's a bit sarcastic.
Luna listened, and felt another surge of anger, but she couldn't show it. Ultimately, when it came to arguing and subtlety, she was no match for Brina. Brina, at least, had attended a prestigious university and was going to pursue graduate studies. Luna, on the other hand, hadn't even finished high school.
Chen Feng, who was standing nearby, noticed that the two were not getting along, and immediately changed the subject, saying, "Alright, now let's talk about what to eat tonight. Do you have any suggestions? Should we eat out or just eat at the hotel?"
Brina immediately said, "Let's eat at the hotel. We've been to Universal Studios all day and we're exhausted, so let's not go out again."
She said this intentionally for Luna to hear: "Look, Chen Feng and I have been out having fun all day, and what about you?"
Sure enough, Luna felt a little resentful when she heard from Brina that Chen Feng had spent the whole day at Universal Studios with her. She clearly remembered that morning when Chen Feng had refused her advances and rushed out. She had assumed he had some urgent business, but it turned out he had gone on a date with Brina to Universal Studios and spent the entire day there.
Seeing Luna's somewhat unpleasant expression, Chen Feng immediately understood what was going on and felt a little embarrassed. He had told Luna that he had urgent business to attend to that morning. Otherwise, Luna might not have let him off the hook. But instead, he went to play with Brina.
Chen Feng immediately added, "When I met Xiaorou yesterday, she insisted that I go to Universal Studios with her today. I couldn't refuse, so I agreed. And since she and Brina are good friends now, she invited them to go together."
After hearing Chen Feng's explanation, Luna felt much better and nodded, saying, "I see."
After saying that, she deliberately glanced at Brinna, looking down on the other woman's earlier attempts to sow discord, which had almost tricked her.
Brina smiled and said to Chen Feng, "Then let's decide on this. We'll go to the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel for dinner later."
"What do you think?" Chen Feng looked at Luna, which could be considered a sign of respect for her.
Although Luna wanted to contradict Brina, in front of Chen Feng, and considering that Chen Feng had indeed been out all day, she could only go along with it and say, "I imagine you're tired too, so let's have dinner at the hotel."
That was a rather tactful way of putting it; it showed that she only agreed to have dinner at the hotel because she felt sorry for Chen Feng, and that she was thinking of him.
Brina glanced at Luna with a hint of surprise, then said, "I'll go change my clothes now, and then we'll go eat together."
It's almost 9 p.m. now. Of course, dinner time here is usually around 8 p.m., so 9 p.m. isn't too late.
Brina quickly went into the room, changed her clothes, and then came out just as quickly.
So the three of them went to the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel.
During the meal, the two women seemed to get along quite well. They avoided any confrontational remarks, instead chatting about celebrity gossip and beauty topics. At first glance, they appeared to be having a very pleasant conversation.
Thus, the atmosphere at the dinner for the three of them was relatively harmonious.
But after the three of them finished eating and returned to their room, the attitude and atmosphere between the two women changed again. This time, it was Brina who took the initiative to speak again.
"Chen Feng and I spent the whole day at Universal Studios and we're both a bit tired, so we're going back to our room to rest. You can go to another room to sleep. Of course, you can also go back."
Brina's words infuriated Luna. Wasn't this blatantly kicking her out? And what right did Brina have to tell her to leave?
Luna immediately couldn't stand it anymore and said directly, "Aren't you a local? If anyone's going back, it's you. I was staying at this hotel with John yesterday."
Brina said calmly, "Chen Feng and I got together last year. For him, I worked hard to learn Mandarin, and now I can communicate with him in Mandarin. Moreover, for him, I'm going to settle down in China and live with him. I can continue to accommodate him like this, including the fact that he slept with you, I don't really care."
"But you can't. First of all, you're very jealous. You're the newcomer, so what right do you have to treat me badly and disrespect me? Secondly, you're a model, and Xiaorou says you're not proper. Maybe that's her prejudice, but I think your profession exposes you to all sorts of temptations. Once you become famous, many wealthy men will pursue you. Can you guarantee your 100% loyalty to Chen Feng? Can you guarantee you won't betray him or sleep with other men?"
Brina's bluntness, spoken right in front of Chen Feng, left Luna momentarily embarrassed, as Brina's words were indeed true. If she hadn't held firm to her principles, she would have long since succumbed to the temptations of this industry, becoming like most of her colleagues.
Then she thought about what would happen if she really became famous in the future, a supermodel, and faced the pursuit of wealthy men, some of whom might even be willing to marry her. She really found it hard to guarantee her loyalty to Chen Feng.
Of course, she had also made an agreement with Chen Feng. Chen Feng himself said that if she lost interest in him in the future, or fell in love with someone else, she could inform him in advance, and they could break up peacefully. Chen Feng would also wish her well.
But that's a matter for the future. She can't be 100% sure right now. After all, although she's fallen in love with Chen Feng, it's only been a day or two, and she's not in love to the point of being deeply ingrained.
Therefore, she was confident she could guarantee 100% loyalty to Chen Feng within a year, but beyond that, especially if they only met once or twice a year, she really couldn't make that promise. (End of Chapter)
