After the divorce, I started to transfer

Only now did Chen Feng vaguely feel a heavy pressure, because the women around him seemed eager to have children and compete to become the mother of his child, each harboring different expectations and thoughts.

Although it is said that having many debts is not a cause for worry, having more children should be a joyous occasion for a wealthy man like him, since the traditional Chinese concept of "many children, many blessings" has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts and passed down from generation to generation.

However, these children are not from the same mother, which is undoubtedly a thorny problem that is enough to give Chen Feng a headache and even make him feel a little uneasy.

Chen Feng could clearly imagine all sorts of future scenarios: his children would either openly or secretly compete with him, or try their best to impress him and win his favor, and even after he passed away, they would engage in fierce battles for the inheritance he left behind.

Clearly, such family disputes are not what Chen Feng wants to see. He hopes that his descendants can live in harmony and enjoy family life, rather than getting caught up in endless conflicts.

However, even those emperors who have gone down in history and are remembered throughout the ages, such as Li Shimin and Kangxi, were unable to properly resolve such complex family issues in their later years. Some of them deposed their crown princes, while others even faced rebellions by their sons, which is truly lamentable.

Fortunately, Chen Feng did not need to worry about the succession to the throne, since he did not have a throne to pass on to his descendants. However, his wealth was considerable enough to arouse the covetousness of his descendants and cause unnecessary disputes.

Currently, the best solution he can think of is to learn from the mature experience of established families such as Rockefeller and entrust most of his assets to a professional family trust fund for management, so as to ensure that each child receives a fixed living allowance every month, thereby maintaining fairness and stability.

As for other matters, such as company operations and share allocation, he decided to put them aside for the time being and make detailed plans and decisions in the future.

After all, his children are still more than a decade away from adulthood, so he doesn't need to be overly anxious or worry unnecessarily; he just needs to plan for the future prudently.

However, he must start to strictly control the number of children. He can't let the woman have children whenever she wants. He will eventually have to make some difficult choices to avoid making future family relationships more complicated.

Take Yang Ziying, for example. Although she is a big star and seems to have no ulterior motives towards him, and has vowed that she does not need him to take responsibility for raising the child, things are never as simple as they seem. In the end, they have only been in a close relationship for a few months, less than a year.

Therefore, Chen Feng naturally could not easily agree to her request, after all, this was a matter of great importance and by no means a trivial matter.

"What do you say? You don't want to?"

Seeing that Chen Feng remained silent for a long time without responding, Yang Ziying finally couldn't suppress her anxiety and couldn't help but ask, her tone somewhat probing.

Chen Feng then slowly spoke: "We haven't been in a relationship for very long. I think you should at least wait until you are more familiar with each other and understand each other better before you seriously consider having children. That would be more prudent."

Yang Ziying frowned, her tone slightly displeased: "What do you mean by that? You really don't want to? I've already said it before, I don't need you to take responsibility. I just want a child of my own, and you don't need to worry at all that I'll use the child to blackmail you. You also know that I'm financially independent and I would never have a child with you for money. If you're not comfortable with that, we can even sign an agreement to clarify our responsibilities."

Chen Feng shook his head with a wry smile: "Of course it's not that I don't trust you. As I said before, I'm worried that you'll regret it in the future. After all, our relationship hasn't lasted long enough, and we don't really know each other very well. Besides, you know I already have a child, and there may be more in the future. If you have children like them, I always feel that it's a bit unfair to you."

Yang Ziying retorted somewhat displeased: "I told you long ago that I have thought it over carefully! Wanting a child is not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but a thought that has been lingering in my mind ever since I met you. Even before we started dating, I planned to have a child before I turned thirty-five, even if we didn't get married. Otherwise, I would definitely regret it in the future."

Seeing her insistence, Chen Feng understood that if he continued to refuse, she would definitely get angry and sad, and might even sever ties with him completely, which was obviously not the outcome he wanted to see.

To be honest, Chen Feng was still a little reluctant to part with Yang Ziying, after all, she had her own unique charm and allure.

Besides, other women can bear his children, but he would refuse her, which would be unfair to her and would make him seem too biased.

Chen Feng fell silent again for a moment, and after struggling internally, he said with feigned hesitation, "How about this, if by the end of the year you still insist on having a child with me, then I will grant your request."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ziying was unsure whether to be angry or happy, her heart filled with mixed feelings. After a long while, she reluctantly spoke up: "I've really thought it through. Does it have to wait until the end of the year? Isn't that too long?"

Chen Feng shook his head slightly, his tone firm: "I've already said it, I want you to calm down for a while and think it over. Having a child is no small matter, you must consider it carefully and make sure you've thought it through completely."

Yang Ziying wasn't stupid; she keenly sensed that Chen Feng was somewhat resistant to having a child with her, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. But she also understood that pushing too hard might backfire and even cause Chen Feng to distance himself from her.

Therefore, despite her reluctance, she ultimately chose to compromise and reluctantly accepted his proposal.

"Okay, then you can suggest a specific date. How about we set it for National Day in October? It's easy to remember and quite meaningful."

“National Day doesn’t count as the end of the year. I think the twelfth lunar month is more appropriate, as our relationship will be more stable then.”

"Is it really necessary? I think National Day is already a good time. There are still five months, almost half a year, away. That's enough time for me to reconsider. There's no need to drag it out any longer."

Chen Feng wanted to insist on his opinion, but when he saw the pleading look in Yang Ziying's eyes, his heart softened and he finally gave in.

What she said makes sense. Nearly six months is enough time for her to calmly consider and make a careful decision. Moreover, by National Day, their relationship will have lasted for more than a year. If she still insists on having the child, he really won't have any reason to refuse anymore.

"Okay, then let's set it for National Day. If you still insist on this idea by then, I'll fully cooperate with you."

"Okay! This is the man I like!" Yang Ziying finally smiled upon hearing this, leaned forward and gave him a light kiss on the cheek, then gently rested her head on his chest, her eyes full of tenderness.

……

Chen Feng did not stay for dinner, but returned home before Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui got off work.

He had barely arrived home when Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui returned one after the other, their faces showing the exhaustion of a long day at work.

Where did you go this morning?

As soon as Wu Mengting entered the room, she asked Chen Feng with a curious expression, her eyes revealing a hint of inquiry.

Chen Feng didn't have his phone with him when he went for his morning run, so Wu Mengting had no way to contact him and had to wait until she got home from get off work to ask him in person.

Chen Feng didn't expect her to bring this up suddenly, but fortunately he was mentally prepared and answered naturally, "I was running outside the neighborhood this morning. I ran a bit far and had to go around several times before coming back."

Wu Mengting did not suspect anything after hearing this. Chen Feng's explanation was reasonable, so she did not continue to ask questions. Instead, she talked to him about some recent developments in the company.

Meanwhile, Sun Xiaorui tactfully went to the kitchen to heat up the dishes for dinner, her movements practiced and quiet.

Chen Feng isn't particularly interested in company affairs these days, especially after having a capable general manager like Ren Ziyu. He trusts her completely and doesn't bother with management much. "I'm currently writing a new script for a modern TV series. It's a completely new endeavor for me, and there's a risk of failure. Do you support me?"

After exchanging a few words about company matters, Wu Mengting changed the subject and started talking about her more important business. As a top producer and screenwriter, she is planning a career transition and will be venturing into new creative fields.

After all, the TV dramas adapted from her previous scripts were all period idol dramas. If she continues to use this type of script, she may not lose money, but it will be very difficult to surpass her previous brilliant achievements.

Therefore, Wu Mengting longs to break through her own limitations and pursue higher achievements. Only by stepping out of her comfort zone and trying to transform herself can she achieve this goal.

From this perspective, Wu Mengting is indeed very career-oriented.

Chen Feng responded almost without hesitation: "Of course I support you! Choosing to change your career path is the right decision. There are already too many period dramas on the market. You've been focusing on this type of drama for a long time, and the audience is bound to get tired of it. You yourself may also feel bored and creatively stuck. Trying modern dramas is a good choice. You might as well try it boldly for the first time. Even if you lose money, it's normal. You can always make it back next time."

"I knew you, my boss, would support me!" Wu Mengting said happily, her face beaming with a confident smile.

“If I don’t support you, who else can I support? You’ve made a lot of money for the company before, so even if you lose money on one or two films, it’s perfectly reasonable. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, just go ahead and do what you think is right.”

Chen Feng's statement reassured Wu Mengting, who frankly stated, "My initial estimate for this modern drama is that the production cost will be quite high, at least 8000 million yuan, and possibly even higher. Of course, our company cannot bear all of this cost, but in order to ensure control over the project, our company's investment ratio cannot be less than 30%, which is at least 2400 million yuan."

Chen Feng waved his hand with a smile, his tone relaxed: "This amount of money is just a drop in the ocean. We can easily afford to lose more than 20 million! Besides, I have a lot of confidence in you. As a top producer, even if this modern drama doesn't perform well, the losses won't be too outrageous."

Wu Mengting said seriously, "If we really lose money, my reputation will be ruined, which is not good for me or the company."

Chen Feng comforted you, saying, "Don't worry too much about reputation, and don't take success too seriously. No one can be successful all the time; occasional failures are perfectly normal. As long as you don't make any big mistakes, there will always be a chance to turn things around in the future."

Wu Mengting shook her head: "I've always been a competitive person since I was a child, and I absolutely cannot allow myself to fail. I believe that this modern drama, which represents a transformation, will not only not lose money, but will definitely be profitable!"

"Yes, I believe in your abilities too!" Chen Feng nodded with a smile, giving her plenty of encouragement.

After chatting for a while, Sun Xiaorui finally heated up the dishes and invited them over for dinner.

After the meal, Wu Mengting took the initiative to help Sun Xiaorui clear the table, and then the two went to the kitchen to wash the dishes together. This surprised Chen Feng, because Sun Xiaorui usually did most of the housework by herself.

Actually, if you have a dishwasher in the kitchen, you don't need two people to do it yourself; the machine can easily handle it.

Wu Mengting's actions seem to be an intentional attempt to avoid Chen Feng.

Indeed, in the kitchen, Wu Mengting whispered to Sun Xiaorui, "Let Chen Feng keep you company tonight."

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaorui looked at her with some surprise: "Is this appropriate? Why don't you just tell him directly?"

Wu Mengting shook her head, her tone slightly helpless: "He's a bit clingy to me now, and he probably won't listen if I tell him. If you bring it up first, he might ask for my opinion, and then I can go along with it and agree. That would be more natural."

Sun Xiaorui suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and nodded helplessly: "Okay, I understand."

After washing the dishes, the two women came out of the kitchen and watched TV with Chen Feng in the living room. The atmosphere was relaxed and warm.

Around nine o'clock, Wu Mengting excused herself to write a script and went upstairs, leaving Chen Feng and Sun Xiaorui to continue watching TV.

At this moment, Sun Xiaorui finally spoke up: "While I was washing the dishes just now, Mengting asked me to tell you that she wants me to stay with you tonight. She also said that you're very clingy to her lately, and she's a little afraid of you. What's going on?"

Upon hearing her explanation, Chen Feng instantly understood the reason.

Ultimately, Wu Mengting was overwhelmed by his antics last night and was clearly starting to back down.

However, out of consideration for Wu Mengting's feelings, and also because it involved her privacy, Chen Feng couldn't explain the details to Sun Xiaorui.

However, given Sun Xiaorui's intelligence, she should be able to guess some of the truth.

"Don't ask too many questions about this. Since she wants you to stay with me tonight, just do as she says."

Sun Xiaorui insisted, "You should still greet her first and get her consent."

Chen Feng was taken aback, then frowned: "Is this necessary? Do I need her permission to be with you tonight? When was this rule established?"

“You just got back, and you slept with her last night. If you come to my place without saying a word today, she will definitely feel uncomfortable.”

Chen Feng thought to himself: Why should I care whether she's comfortable or not?

But then she thought about it again. Sun Xiaorui's current situation was somewhat like that of a maidservant in ancient times. If she shared a room with Wu Mengting without his consent, it was hard to guarantee that Wu Mengting wouldn't take her anger out on her or even secretly make things difficult for her.

"Okay, I'll send her a message now."

As Chen Feng spoke, he picked up his phone, typed a short message, and sent it over.

Wu Mengting replied very quickly, almost instantly: 【OK】

Chen Feng showed the WeChat message to Sun Xiaorui, who then smiled, turned off the TV, and, with a touch of shyness, took Chen Feng's hand and walked upstairs.

Chen Feng had been away for more than half a month, and she naturally missed him terribly. Unfortunately, it wasn't her turn to go last night, and she was left alone in her empty room.

Now it was finally her turn, and it was Wu Mengting who had taken the initiative to suggest it. She couldn't help but feel excited and couldn't wait even a minute longer. (End of Chapter)
