After the divorce, I started to transfer

The next morning, Chen Feng got up on time as usual, changed into his sportswear, and began his daily run.

He ran into Ji Hongsheng from next door as soon as he stepped out of his house.

"Boss, you're back?" Ji Hongsheng's face was full of surprise, as if he had just learned of Chen Feng's return. However, in fact, he had witnessed Chen Feng's conspicuous Cayenne entering and leaving the community the night before.

"Mm." Chen Feng nodded slightly in response. He seemed to sense that Ji Hongsheng still had something to say, so before the other party could continue, he said first, "You don't need to worry about work for the next three days. Just rest well. You've worked hard during this time, so relax."

Ji Hongsheng quickly nodded with a smile, his face beaming with joy: "Okay, thank you, boss. By the way, I plan to go to Anxi tomorrow. I've heard there are two extremely outstanding calligraphers there. Their works are unique and ingenious. Maybe I can find a piece that will satisfy you, boss."

"You don't need to be in such a hurry. Taking a break for a while is fine. Work is important, but you also need to take care of your health and avoid overworking yourself," Chen Feng said with a hint of concern.

"What's the point of resting? I'm just idling at home anyway, so I might as well go to Anxi and do some sightseeing. I think this way I can finish my work and relax at the same time, killing two birds with one stone," Ji Hongsheng said enthusiastically.

The literary and artistic works that Chen Feng had previously entrusted to Ji Hongsheng have been mostly sold off by him after some time.

He demonstrated extremely high efficiency in this work, which greatly satisfied Chen Feng.

However, Ji Hongsheng always seemed to be busy, with endless enthusiasm for work, and often took the initiative to ask Chen Feng to assign him more work.

Chen Feng was unwilling to dampen the enthusiasm of this subordinate who was working for free, so he asked him to help collect works of art such as calligraphy, painting, and photography.

Chen Feng gave the order casually, but Ji Hongsheng took it very seriously. He had previously used his extensive network of contacts to obtain a lot of relevant materials, but unfortunately none of them met Chen Feng's requirements.

Ji Hongsheng was clearly unwilling to give up, so he decided to travel all the way to Anxi. It should be noted that Anxi was quite a distance from Xiuzhou, and the journey would be arduous. It must be said that Ji Hongsheng was truly a dutiful and responsible servant, and even brought his own provisions.

Of course, Chen Feng also gave him extremely generous "treatment," with the danger predictions given to him almost every other day serving as his "reward." Moreover, this reward was actually of extremely high value, since being able to predict future dangers was equivalent to helping him avoid risks in advance, which was a matter of life and death.

"Then you can decide for yourself. I need to go for my run first." Seeing his firm attitude, Chen Feng stopped trying to dissuade him and prepared to continue his morning run.

Ji Hongsheng smiled and nodded in response, "Okay, I'll go over there and stretch my legs too."

The two quickly parted ways. Chen Feng hadn't run far when Xiao Panpan, who had been waiting for a long time, caught up with him with light steps. She smiled sweetly at Chen Feng, said "Good morning" in a clear voice, and then silently followed behind him as they ran.

Chen Feng did not respond, but focused on adjusting his running rhythm, breathing evenly, and taking powerful strides.

After four laps, Chen Feng finally started to sweat, and then he slowly stopped.

Xiao Panpan's running ability was indeed extraordinary; she actually ran the entire distance with Chen Feng. Although she was panting heavily, her face and body were covered in sweat, and her hair was soaked and stuck to her forehead, she had at least run nearly four kilometers with Chen Feng.

For the average woman, running such a long distance continuously is no easy feat. This is mainly due to her long-term habit of running, which has given her excellent physical fitness and endurance.

Seeing that she was exhausted, Chen Feng did not rush to leave. He stood there and waited for her to rest for a while before saying, "You didn't need to come all this way with me. Don't do this next time."

Xiao Panpan was still a little out of breath, but she still smiled and said, "Actually, I've always wanted to run a full race with you, but you always deliberately sped up and left me behind before. So, this time you finally didn't speed up, so I must insist on running the whole race with you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng felt a surge of emotion.

Without a doubt, Xiao Panpan truly loves him at this moment; otherwise, she would never have been so persistent and painstaking in doing this.

Although it may seem a bit silly, it was clearly very meaningful to her.

However, although Chen Feng was touched for a moment, he did not treat her differently because of it.

Ultimately, his threshold for being moved is quite high now; it's difficult for ordinary people and things to truly touch him. The feeling he had just experienced was fleeting, not particularly intense, and lasted only a very short time.

"Now that your wish has been fulfilled, there's no need for you to follow me around like this anymore."

"Okay, I understand. It's really tiring to keep up with you like this, my body can't take it anymore."

"You just understand."

After saying that, Chen Feng walked towards his house. Seeing this, Xiao Panpan quickly followed him and asked in a low voice, "Want to come to my house for breakfast?"

Chen Feng glanced at her helplessly and said, "You said the same thing yesterday, but when I left, I didn't even get to eat your breakfast."

Xiao Panpan smiled a little shyly: "I've already prepared everything for today, you'll definitely be able to eat it when you get there."

"Never mind, my girlfriend is waiting for me to come back so we can have breakfast together. Maybe next time." Chen Feng didn't want her to get into the habit of inviting him to breakfast every day. He wasn't the kind of person who would easily give in, and he had his own principles when it came to these things.

After Chen Feng finished speaking, he waved to her and quickened his pace toward home.

Xiao Panpan opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't utter a sound.

In reality, she didn't have enough standing to demand that Chen Feng come to her house for breakfast every day, let alone anything else.

Ultimately, she hasn't officially been recognized as Chen Feng's lover yet, at least not officially. Previously, they were only in the trial-and-error stage of dating.

……

When Chen Feng returned home, Sun Xiaorui was already busy in the kitchen, and the aroma of food wafted out. Wu Mengting, on the other hand, seemed to be still asleep, and the whole room was quiet and peaceful.

After he finished washing upstairs and came downstairs, he still didn't see Wu Mengting, so he asked Sun Xiaorui, "Has Mengting not gotten up yet?"

Sun Xiaorui shook her head: "They probably haven't gotten up yet."

Chen Feng immediately picked up his phone and contacted Wu Mengting via WeChat to inquire about the situation.

A while later, he received her voice reply. It turned out that she was in excellent form last night while writing the script, with inspiration flowing freely, and had unknowingly stayed up until after 2 a.m. She simply couldn't get up today, and might not even go to work this morning; breakfast wouldn't be served to her. Chen Feng told Sun Xiaorui about this, and the two of them couldn't help but deeply admire Wu Mengting's dedication to her career.

Nowadays, Chen Feng, the boss, has almost completely relinquished control of company affairs, while Wu Mengting, the nominal boss's wife, is actually just a high-level employee who works so hard for the company.

This made even the boss, Chen Feng, feel a little embarrassed.

If conditions allowed, Chen Feng really wanted to give her a raise. However, her current salary level was already comparable to that of General Manager Ren Ziyu. If project bonuses were added, her annual income would definitely exceed that of Ren Ziyu.

Therefore, it's really not a good idea to give her a raise right away. Otherwise, starting with Ren Ziyu, all the employees in the company would demand a raise.

Currently, the company's employee compensation is already among the top in the domestic industry, and it is clearly not advisable to further increase it.

It's not that Chen Feng, as a capitalist, is unwilling to spend money, but rather that doing so would be tantamount to disrupting the salary rules of the entire industry, which would inevitably lead to resistance and hostility from his peers.

Chen Feng could give Wu Mengting a bonus privately, but given her personality, she definitely wouldn't accept it.

Just like he had told Wu Mengting's parents before that he would give her ten million yuan every year, but when Chen Feng actually offered to give it to her, she refused. The reason was that through her own efforts, her annual income, including salary, bonuses, and project dividends, had already exceeded ten million yuan.

Her parents thought that her high income last year included the ten million yuan given by Chen Feng, but that was not the case.

Therefore, Chen Feng can only try to make it up to her later.

Of course, if Wu Mengting really agrees to the conditions he proposed in the future, then Fengmang Films will become her dowry. In this way, Wu Mengting is now working hard for herself.

Chen Feng and Sun Xiaorui didn't wait for Wu Mengting any longer, and the two had breakfast together. At the table, they chatted occasionally, creating a warm atmosphere.

After finishing her tidying up, Sun Xiaorui went to work. Chen Feng rested briefly in the living room, then contacted Huang Li via WeChat, and the two arranged to go see an apartment together.

Yesterday, Chen Feng asked Huang Li to help him find an apartment. She was extremely efficient and sent him information on several apartments by the afternoon. However, Chen Feng was very busy yesterday afternoon and was unable to view the apartments in time.

Chen Feng drove to the nearest residential area to Zijinyuan, about three kilometers away, which was only a few hundred meters away from Guo Mengyao's current company location.

Undoubtedly, this is a dedicated villa area, with rows of detached villas in a tranquil and elegant environment, showcasing high-end luxury.

When Huang Li arrived at the entrance of the residential area, she had already arrived, along with a real estate agent.

Chen Feng and Huang Li got into the real estate agent's car and entered the residential area. This community is nearly twenty years old, but its location is excellent, and it is still a high-end residential area in Xiuzhou.

The greenery in the community is arranged in a well-organized manner, with each plant carefully placed and the feng shui design also paying attention to details, giving people a sense of harmony and nature.

Unlike Chen Feng's Zijinyuan and Yang Ziying's Shijia Courtyard, the detached villas here do not have dedicated walls in front or behind. In front, there is a large, neatly trimmed lawn, like a green carpet, and in the back, there are small gardens or vegetable plots, full of life.

The villa is a three-story duplex with a conventional design. It does not have a separate garage, but there is a small parking area on the lawn in front of the gate, and parking is also available on the roadside.

Led by the real estate agent, Chen Feng entered the villa, but immediately felt it was not quite right because the house was too large.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a hall with a double-height ceiling that extends from the first floor to the third floor, making the space above the hall appear exceptionally tall and spacious. At the very top hangs an extravagant crystal chandelier that hangs from the top of the third floor all the way down to the ceiling of the first floor. Although it is magnificent, it makes the entire space feel somewhat oppressive.

Chen Feng found the design unsatisfactory. Therefore, he refused to look at it any further and stated directly that the villa was unsuitable. Although he had seen the information Huang Li had sent him yesterday, he hadn't looked at it carefully, and the description of the house in the information wasn't detailed enough. Otherwise, he certainly wouldn't have come to see this house.

The agent was an elite man in his thirties, dressed in a white shirt and trousers. His service was impeccable, and he spoke with tact and sincerity, without any incessant or excessive sales pitches.

After Chen Feng expressed his dislike for the villa and rejected it outright, the man did not try to persuade him, but simply politely inquired about the reason for his dissatisfaction. After listening to Chen Feng's explanation, he immediately offered to take him to see another house in the complex, which was relatively smaller and had a completely different layout and decoration style.

Chen Feng followed the real estate agent and arrived in just two minutes by car. Sure enough, the villa was much smaller. The previous one had three bays, while this one only had two bays and two and a half stories. The top half-story had a rooftop terrace offering panoramic views of the neighborhood. Furthermore, there was a separate single-story garage next to the two bays, capable of accommodating three cars—a very good feature that solved his parking worries.

After entering the villa, Chen Feng became increasingly satisfied.

The first floor features floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing ample natural light to flood the interior, making it bright, airy, and filled with a warm atmosphere. The living room is decorated in the popular Scandinavian style, simple yet fashionable, with exquisite details in every aspect.

According to the real estate agent, the owner purchased and renovated the villa three years ago, originally intending it as his son's wedding home. However, his son, who was planning to get married, suddenly broke up with his girlfriend and remains single with no plans to marry in the near future.

Since leaving the villa vacant was not a solution, and given the current sluggish real estate market and continuously falling prices, the owner decided to sell it first and then buy a new house when his son gets married in the future.

Chen Feng was quite satisfied with the house and carefully inspected the first floor, the second floor, and the basement.

The basement has a dedicated mahjong room, a sports room with a billiards table and a ping-pong table, as well as a small cinema, a tea room, a wine cellar, and a storage room of about 20 square meters. It is fully functional and convenient for both leisure and entertainment as well as storage.

The first, second, and third floors are all fully furnished. A 100-inch Sony TV, the top-of-the-line model, is installed on the TV wall in the first-floor living room. An 85-inch Sony TV is also installed in the master bedroom on the second floor. All of these are already installed and mounted on the wall.

These two television sets alone, without considering discounts, cost over 100,000 yuan in total. In addition, central air conditioning and a fresh air system are also included, providing a comfortable living environment.

Chen Feng inspected each bathroom. The interiors were all high-end, with well-known brands of bathroom fixtures. Although two or three years had passed, they looked brand new, showing almost no signs of use. Chen Feng then took some videos and photos of the villa with his phone and sent them to Zhao Zixuan to ask if she was satisfied.

Not long after, Zhao Zixuan initiated a video call. Once connected, she asked Chen Feng to switch the camera to the rear view, wanting to personally inspect the villa inside and out through the phone's lens.

Chen Feng was quite tolerant and patient with her, so he took her on a tour of the villa with his phone, just as she requested. The whole process took nearly half an hour.

After inspecting the property, Zhao Zixuan asked a few more questions, mainly about the distance between the villa and Chen Feng's current residence. Upon learning it was only three kilometers away, she expressed satisfaction. Next, she inquired about the price, and Chen Feng learned from the real estate agent that the owner was asking for 3000 million yuan.

Three years ago, the homeowner bought the house for 28 million and spent nearly 5 million on renovations. Now, it is being sold for 30 million, which is actually a loss.

But with the current drop in property prices, villas here are at least 20% cheaper than they were three years ago. Chen Feng naturally couldn't accept the 30 million price tag, and the 5 million spent on renovations shouldn't be attributed to the buyer either.

Therefore, Chen Feng asked for 2300 million, a price he considered very reasonable, taking into account both market conditions and the actual value of the house. (End of Chapter)
