Chapter 136: Chapter 113 It’s him_2

To apply for this certification, one must first register online and submit an application, take a preliminary online test, and then go to a designated location for a retest and interview.

These were all things Feng Yi was aware of, and the test was not very difficult for him.

After reflecting on his life for a moment, Feng Yi went upstairs.

The guests in the living room had already left, and Yi handed Feng Yi a contract.

The details of the venue rental had all been worked out, and this contract was personally drafted by Yi with the program leader’s signature already on it. After Feng Yi read through the contract and found no issues, he signed his name and Yi would then deliver the contract to them.

Since it was all within the same neighborhood, delivering it directly was also convenient.

Feng Yi skimmed through the contract, found nothing that needed to be added, as Yi had already considered everything comprehensively. Furthermore, the contract stressed that if there were any damages to the courtyard during the photography session, a significant amount of compensation would be required. The venue was provided, but if the other party did not maintain the site during filming, they would incur a hefty compensation fee.

After signing his name, Feng Yi handed the contract back to Yi, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It’s what I should do."

Yi didn’t immediately deliver the signed contract. He checked a lot of information related to this variety show and gained a better understanding of the few people who had come over earlier. He shared this information with Feng Yi.

Only then did Feng Yi learn that among the four who visited earlier, two were the chief directors of the variety show. Feng Yi wasn’t very familiar with them; after all, he had only brushed against the entertainment industry once, acting in a web drama and interacting with a limited circle of people. With such a vast industry, there were indeed many people he did not know.

These two directors were relatively young, and had gained some fame in the circle this year thanks to a reality show.

Of course, these were not important matters to Feng Yi, who put them aside after listening.

However, Feng Yi felt somewhat emotional.

He hadn’t even found a job yet, and his house was already earning its maintenance fees. It seemed he, as the owner, was a step behind.

After a lunch break, Jia drove while Feng Yi, accompanied by Ding, went to the flower and bird market to pick out fish.

Bing stayed at home to make fish feed, and Yi went to deliver the contract to the program group.

In a house in the Lu Hai Villa District.

The program group’s directors and scriptwriters were gathered for a meeting, and several celebrities were getting acquainted.

Over with the directorial team, they were pleased with the contract Yi had just delivered.

"Done! We’ve secured the last location, we can start now!"

A few celebrity guests also joined in. As the directorial team had been busy with their work, they hadn’t felt it right to inquire too much. But now that all filming locations were settled and the mood was relaxed, it was a good time to ask some questions.

"Is it that house in Lu Hai Section 10?" One young celebrity asked.

"Lu Hai 101, Building 1 of Section 10, one of the two largest houses in Lu Hai Villa District."

The Lu Hai Villa District boasted two of the largest houses, one of which was a property reserved by the developers, and the other was Lu Hai 101.

When the program group decided to use the Lu Hai Villa District for the show, they had looked into Lu Hai 101. In fact, they were quite ambitious at the time and wanted to rent that particular house as their first choice.

After learning about the Lu Hai Villa District, they knew that no one had lived in Lu Hai 101 for years. Since it was unoccupied, wasn’t that a waste?

That was ideal for their program group! And it was one of the two largest villas in the district, an excellent talking point!

The allure of the Lu Hai Villa District shone brightly! If they could shoot their program there, and rent one of the two largest houses, what a topic that would be! They had even thought about trending on social search!

Unfortunately, they couldn’t contact anyone!!

It was said that the homeowner had moved abroad and could not be reached, and later, there were rumors that the homeowner had passed away. Now that there was a new owner, contact became even harder. Who knew to whom the original owner had left the house?

The program group didn’t have the time to find out, so in the end, they had to choose another location.

It was their own greed really; even being able to rent a house in the Lu Hai Villa District was quite remarkable. Previous reality shows had eyed this location, and at that time, not a single homeowner was willing to rent their house for filming.

This time, they managed to rent here mainly because of the investor’s connections, and also because the homeowner’s family just happened to go on a vacation, giving them the chance to film.

Otherwise, every homeowner in the Lu Hai Villa District treasured their property like a gem and would not lend it to others.

It was only now that their program group, flush with funds, managed to secure the opportunity, along with additional filming locations through the investor’s connections.

When they arrived, they heard that at Lu Hai 101, the new owner had already moved in.

Upon hearing this news, the head director began contemplating adding another location.

Having come here to film, obviously, they wanted to capture as many places as possible.

Learning that the northern corner of Lu Hai 101 used to be open to other residents in the complex, he decided to secure that spot as well.

"Didn’t rent the place in Lu Hai 101, but getting the northern corner of the courtyard is basically the same. When the time comes, we can arrange a hot search topic, haha!"

"This time, we can also bask in the glory of Lu Hai. I heard this place has excellent Feng Shui!" another director laughed.

"Director Yang, when you went to Lu Hai 101 to talk about renting the venue, did you see the new homeowner?" a young starlet who debuted from a talent show this year asked.

One of the executive directors, who was also one of those negotiating the venue rental, was surnamed Yang. He had a familial relationship with the largest investor in the reality show, and he was responsible for securing many of the locations used by the program.

Director Yang was in a good mood at the time and said upon hearing this, "Didn’t see the homeowner, it was his assistant who came to discuss the venue. But just looking at his assistant, you can tell the homeowner must be quite an impressive person!"

"Is there a signature on the agreement, what’s the name of the homeowner?"

"I remember the surname is Feng..."

Director Yang flipped through the agreement, then looked at the signature, "Feng Yi. The new owner of Lu Hai 101 is called Feng Yi."

Clatter!

Ning Zhixiao, who was pretending to be absorbed in a book, jolted, and the book fell straight to the floor.

Everyone looked over.

There were so many shrewd people in the room, and just by seeing Ning Zhixiao’s expression, they knew there was information to be dug up!

With an even tone and a smile, Director Yang asked, "Xiao Ning, do you know Feng Yi?"

"No..." Ning Zhixiao wanted to deny it, but under so many watchful eyes, he adjusted his tone, "I don’t know if it’s the same person. I know someone named Feng Yi, but I don’t know if it’s the person you’re talking about."

Under the glowing gaze of Director Yang, Ning Zhixiao swallowed and continued, "The Feng Yi I know is about my age, and he used to act too, but he left the circle."

"Why did he leave? Do you know the reason?" Director Yang asked.

"Rumors are that he got cheated by his business partner, his studio went into debt, and in the end, he had no choice but to leave."

"What about the truth?"

Ning Zhixiao hesitated for a moment. He had been arranged by his company to participate in this reality show and didn’t have much presence, this was the first time he had become the center of everyone’s attention.

"I don’t actually know. It’s just that during the Qianli Group’s annual celebration, I saw him at the venue. He seemed to be on very good terms with President Lu of Qianli Group, the kind of familiar that suggests they are equals as friends. However, I overheard him say..."

Ning Zhixiao paused.

"He said what?" Director Yang asked.

"He said that after leaving the industry he got filthy rich!"

The others: "..."

Ning Zhixiao added, "At that time, he seemed to be joking with someone. I don’t know if what he said is true."

"It could be him!" Director Yang said, "There aren’t many with the surname Feng, but there’s a prominent Feng family in Yang City, and the previous owner of that Lu Hai 101 property also had the surname Feng!"

However, Director Yang soon caught onto a key point in Ning Zhixiao’s previous statement.

"He used to be in the entertainment industry?"

"...Yes." A sense of crisis suddenly rose in Ning Zhixiao’s heart.

"Then he must be good-looking!"

Some people in the room also found the name Feng Yi familiar.

Director Yang took out his phone and started searching. As he looked, his eyebrows seemed ready to fly up in excitement.

"It’s him! He was briefly popular once!"

"I have an idea, why don’t we... pull him in?"
