After the divorce, I started to transfer
Chapter 1615 I am not short of money
After Chen Feng chatted with Jenny for a few more minutes, he returned to his room.
Jenny felt a little upset, but she finally convinced herself that just as Chen Feng said, he had confessed everything to her on the plane.
She had sex with him because she didn't care and didn't want to miss Chen Feng. She felt that they were destined to be together.
Therefore, it would be unreasonable for her to complain about Chen Feng now.
After all, she overestimated her psychological endurance.
The main reason was that she was somewhat in love with Chen Feng.
When they were on the plane, she had a good impression of Chen Feng, but it was definitely not love. At most, it was just "lust" between a man and a woman.
But after getting to know Chen Feng in depth, she found herself beginning to get sucked in.
She could have chosen to withdraw before she became unable to extricate herself, or to be friends again as Chen Feng said.
But she was obviously reluctant to do so. Some things are hard to give up once you have eaten them. If you can't eat them anymore, you will miss them all the time and even feel pain.
So, she didn't want to break up with Chen Feng just like that, let alone become ordinary friends again.
Jenny could only start to adjust her emotions silently, trying to be more generous and open-minded.
After all, Chen Feng has a girlfriend, and she has no right to be jealous or hostile to Brina.
Of course, the same goes for Brynna.
The two actually share the same suffering and situation.
After thinking about this, Jenny felt a little better.
Because Brina was not Chen Feng's girlfriend, she just took the opportunity to get together with Chen Feng first, and she was not of a higher class than her.
Jenny comforted herself and then returned to her room.
……
Chen Feng returned to his room. Brina was still taking a shower in the bathroom. Chen Feng walked over directly, knocked on the door politely, and then said, "I'm coming in."
"what……"
Brina only had time to utter a sound before Chen Feng pushed the door open and walked in.
The bathroom door was not locked.
Brina was soaking in the bathtub at this time, with a thick layer of foam covering her good figure.
Maybe because of the hot water, her face was red and her eyes looked at him weakly and innocently.
Although the two of them had taken a bath together in the bathroom before, they had never had anyone suddenly break in like this.
"Let me wash with you to save water."
Chen Feng did not give her a chance to refuse. He quickly took off his clothes, then, under Brina's slightly shy look, he stepped into the bathtub and sat opposite her.
"I thought you were coming in later."
Brina spoke first.
"We haven't seen each other for a long time, so of course I have to come to see you earlier."
As Chen Feng spoke, he took a bath ball and began to scrub his body.
"Isn't she angry? I think she seems to be somewhat repulsed by me."
"It's useless for her to be angry. Besides, I told her about my situation from the beginning, including the fact that I have a girlfriend and your situation. After she knew my situation, she wanted to continue dating me, so I didn't reject her."
When Brina heard what Chen Feng said, she couldn't help but smile and said, "She is obviously in love with you too. This is your charm. It is difficult for a woman who is in love with you to break up with you."
"Are you angry? She knew she was going to meet you, but she brought her along."
"At first a little bit, and you didn't tell me in advance. I came here happily, thinking I could have some time alone with you."
"I was wrong about this." Chen Feng admitted his mistake very readily, "I should have told you in advance so that you could be mentally prepared. However, I was also worried that you would be angry after knowing this situation, so I didn't tell you in advance."
"You know, I don't care if there are other women around you. I have never thought about monopolizing you. I don't have the qualifications or ability. But I have my own private emotions and likes and dislikes. I don't like this Jenny very much, and she doesn't like me either."
Chen Feng could only say: "Well, it seems that you two don't have compatible personalities, so try not to meet each other again in the future. I will also try to avoid you two getting along together in the future."
Seeing that Chen Feng still respected her opinion, Brina was of course very happy.
"Actually, I can understand her feelings. She just fell in love with you, so of course she doesn't want to share you with other women. But, it was obviously me first, wasn't it? I've been with you for so long, and she just got together with you. And she looked at me as if I were a mistress, which made me very uncomfortable."
"Okay, I understand you. It's my fault. I shouldn't have let you live together. However, you may not know that she is a senior auditor, and I plan to let her serve as the chief audit executive of the charity foundation."
"She told me this before. I have no problem with it. You must have your reasons for choosing her for this position."
The good thing about Brina is that she doesn't interfere with Chen Feng's life and work.
"That's good. After the foundation is established, you can also work there and receive a salary. You know the original intention of setting up this foundation. Charity is a byproduct, and the main purpose is to avoid taxes. So, it's no big deal to have you work there and receive a salary."
But Brina shook her head and refused: "Forget it, I don't need your money. I am the only daughter of my parents, and they give me a lot of money every year. I also make money by providing legal consulting services online during holidays. I have enough money to spend."
"Then have you ever thought about actually taking on a specific position in the foundation? For example, legal advisor. I have already hired your father for this position, and I can add you."
"Since my father has already taken this position, there is no need for me to take it. I understand what you mean. You think it would be a waste if you don't take the foundation's money, otherwise it will only benefit the IRS. But I really don't need it. I don't want to have too much financial dealings with you."
Chen Feng understood what she meant when he heard her say that. She didn't want to feel like she was being kept by him.
"Well, I respect your decision." At this point, he immediately changed the subject and threw the bath ball to her, "Come on, rub my back."
Chen Feng turned around, and Brina obediently took the bath ball and leaned forward to rub his back.
……
The next day, Chen Feng got up early and exercised in the living room, then took a shower and had breakfast with Brina.
After breakfast, Brina hurried to school as she also had classes today.
Fortunately, the school is not far from the hotel and only takes about ten minutes to drive there.
However, Brina has already told Chen Feng that she will not come over today, and will come to see Chen Feng again the day after tomorrow, which is the weekend.
At nine o'clock, Jenny came out of the room with dark circles under her eyes. Seeing that Chen Feng was the only one in the living room, she came up to him and asked casually, "Where's Brina? Hasn't she gotten up yet?"
"she left."
"Ah, leaving so early?"
Jenny's mood immediately improved.
"Well, she has to rush back to school for classes." "Will she come over in the evening?"
"Don't come tonight. Come the day after tomorrow, the weekend."
"But you promised me that you would accompany me back to San Francisco the day after tomorrow to attend my grandfather's 80th birthday."
Chen Feng thought about it and it was true. Jenny had said before that her grandfather's 80th birthday would be in three days and she would go back to San Francisco. So it turned out to be the day after tomorrow.
"Then I will go to San Francisco with you the day after tomorrow."
Since you have promised someone, you must do what you say.
Jenny was immediately happier, and asked in a somewhat hypocritical tone, "Then if you leave with me the day after tomorrow, Brina won't be angry, right?"
"No, she's very generous."
"Oh, really? I didn't have a very pleasant time with her yesterday. I felt that she was a little aloof and hard to approach."
Chen Feng didn't hesitate and said directly: "She also said that she doesn't get along well with you. So, you should try to see each other less often in the future."
Jenny was speechless.
However, she also knew that it was useless for her to say bad things about Brina in front of Chen Feng, so she simply kept her mouth shut.
At half past nine, Frank and his colleagues arrived on time again, and the foundation's preparatory meeting continued.
Things went smoothly, and by around four in the afternoon, the entire foundation's specific structure, tax reporting, compliance review, and tax avoidance content had been completed.
The next step is to take the formal first step: registering a state-level nonprofit organization.
Specifically, you need to submit your articles of incorporation to the Secretary of State's office, pay the registration fee, and obtain a certificate of incorporation.
Frank and Jonathan can be the full agents in this regard. Generally speaking, this first step of the registration process takes one or two weeks.
But the law firm where Frank works has deep connections here, so this process can definitely be greatly shortened, and it can be completed in three or four days, or even two or three days.
After successful registration, this is just the first step and the easiest one.
According to the process, the second and third steps are the most difficult.
The second step is to apply for tax-exempt status from the federal government for a charitable foundation, which is the highlight. Given the scale of Chen Feng's charitable foundation, which is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, the review cycle will be very long, normally taking 2-6 months.
It is very impressive to be able to get the application approved within two months.
Chen Feng can wait for such a long time, but if someone can help shorten this period, he would certainly be willing to do so.
In this regard, we need the help of Senator Bellis. If she can't do it, we can ask Carl Hicks or William Lampson for help.
The third step is to undergo strict review by the IRS.
After all, everyone knows that a charitable foundation with such a large amount of funds is used to evade taxes. How could the IRS, the US Internal Revenue Service, easily approve it? It is normal to delay it for a year or two, and it is normal to directly say that the audit failed.
This requires Chen Feng’s connections here to continue to play a role.
The main purpose is to speed up the establishment and ensure that the foundation can be reviewed and approved.
According to Frank and others' estimation, it would take at least three or four months to fully apply for and successfully establish this tax-exempt charitable foundation.
Although this time is acceptable to Chen Feng, he still wants it to be faster. It would be best if it can be done within one or two months.
It is impossible for Frank and his people to do this, but Congressman Bellis or the Martin family and the Lampson family can definitely do it.
After Frank and his companions left, Jenny conscientiously revised and printed out the draft foundation charter, gave it to Chen Feng for review, and then sent it to Frank and his companions.
After everyone confirms that everything is correct, Frank can take this official version of the foundation charter to apply for registration tomorrow.
It was already past six in the afternoon when Jenny finally finished her work. It was still a little early to have a meal here, as the sun hadn't even set yet and it was still bright outside.
"Honey, it's still early. Why don't we go out for a walk and relax? We've been staying in the hotel for the past two days."
Chen Feng had no confidence in the public security here and didn't want to go out, but seeing Jenny's expectant look, he softened his heart and agreed.
Jenny was immediately very happy, came over, took Chen Feng's hand and walked out.
Now that I was going out, the two bodyguards who were feeling a little suffocated in the hotel were finally put to use.
Chen Feng directly rented the hotel's most expensive Cullinan, and with the hotel's driver, it was just enough for five people.
Because Chen Feng didn't want to walk too far, he went to Rodeo Drive two kilometers away.
Jenny was of course familiar with this world-famous shopping street. Chen Feng had walked along this street with Brina and Molly before.
After the two got out of the car and walked on the street, Chen Feng said to Jenny in Mandarin: "You can buy whatever you want, I'll pay the bill, it's a gift to you."
Jenny immediately shook her head and refused: "I'm not one of those materialistic women. I don't need you to pay for it."
"Really?" Chen Feng looked at her with a little suspicion, "You should know that I am not short of money."
Jenny rolled her eyes at him and said, "I can't let you pay for everything, but you can give me a gift as a gift to make up for my meeting, and I will give you one too. As for the rest, I will buy it myself, and I have the money."
Chen Feng found it a little funny, but he didn't insist. He nodded and said, "OK, I'll do as you say."
So Jenny pulled him and happily started shopping, an activity that every woman is keen on.
Chen Feng has also become accustomed to this kind of behavior of women and does not find it too boring. At most, he will take out his mobile phone and read a novel while waiting.
In most stores, Jenny just looked but didn't buy anything.
By the time she arrived at the Cartier store, Jenny was almost unable to move and lingered in front of several display cabinets for a long time.
Upon seeing this, Chen Feng suggested that he could buy her a Cartier watch as a gift.
This time Jenny was no longer polite. After Chen Feng asked, she pointed to a watch and said she liked it.
Chen Feng saw that the price was only over 20,000 US dollars, which was not expensive for him at the moment, so he bought it directly.
After Chen Feng paid the money, Jenny put it directly on her wrist, and it really looked good.
Then, Jenny said that she could also buy him a Cartier watch as a gift.
Chen Feng refused, saying that he already had watches, and several of them, but he didn't wear them very often.
Chen Feng has never been interested in wearing a watch to show off.
In fact, in today's era of popularization of smartphones, wearing a watch is really redundant, because if you want to know the time, you can check it on your mobile phone, which is more convenient.
Wearing a watch to tell time seems a bit redundant, and wearing it on the wrist all the time is cold in winter and hot in summer, which is somewhat abusive.
Therefore, as time went on, Chen Feng became less and less fond of wearing a watch. He would only wear it for decoration in some more formal occasions. (End of this chapter)
