After the divorce, I started to transfer

After leaving, Chen Feng immediately put Gong Huize out of his mind. To him, this wealthy and beautiful woman from a prominent family was dazzling, but she was not his type.

Moreover, he already has too many female confidantes around him, so there is really no need to add another new entanglement.

His eagerness to withdraw wasn't entirely to avoid Gong Huize; the more important reason was that Guo Mengyao was sending him a series of messages urging him to go see her as soon as possible.

Guo Mengyao already knew that Chen Feng had returned to China, but she hadn't seen him for two days in a row, and the suppressed anger in her heart was obvious.

Chen Feng didn't delay and quickly drove to Guo Mengyao's company, heading straight to the familiar president's office.

"You've been back for two days now, haven't you?" Guo Mengyao raised her eyes, her tone revealing neither joy nor anger, but carrying an unquestionable tone of questioning.

Chen Feng nodded frankly, then casually sat down on the sofa not far from the large desk, as if he were back in his own home.

Guo Mengyao frowned even more, her words filled with barely concealed emotion: "I could understand if you didn't reply to my messages before. But now that you're back, you should at least have told me. Otherwise, I would still think you were far away overseas, and I would always be worried about you, since there are so many guns there, and I'm constantly concerned about your safety."

Hearing her say that, Chen Feng realized he was in the wrong and softened his tone to explain, "It's just that I was away for a long time this time, and I had a lot of things to deal with when I got back. I was so busy that I forgot to let you know I was safe. It was my oversight, and I won't do it again next time."

Since Chen Feng had already made his stance clear, Guo Mengyao, though still somewhat displeased, knew when to stop. So she changed the subject and went straight to the point: "My belly hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy. What do you have to say about that?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng frowned almost imperceptibly and said, "This can't be entirely my fault. My body and energy are perfectly normal, and other women are already pregnant."

Hearing Chen Feng speak so bluntly, Guo Mengyao felt a surge of anger rising within her, but she forced herself to suppress it and said with a straight face, "I have no health problems whatsoever, and I've already had a full check-up at the hospital."

Chen Feng realized that his words had been hurtful, so he softened his tone and said, "Pregnancy also depends on luck, so don't be too anxious. Besides, your company hasn't been successfully sold yet, and you have to worry about it every day. If you get pregnant at this time, it may not be good for your and the baby's physical and mental health."

Seeing the concern in Chen Feng's words, Guo Mengyao felt a little relieved.

"The company is in the final stage and it's almost ready to be sold. There's still some negotiation on the final price, but if all goes well, the agreement should be signed within a month. So, you don't need to worry about these things."

Seeing her say that, Chen Feng readily promised, "Then we'll try a few more times in the future. Since we're both healthy, it's probably just that we're a little unlucky."

Guo Mengyao wholeheartedly agreed with Chen Feng's words, nodding and saying, "I also think we were just unlucky. I had clearly calculated the most fertile days beforehand, thinking everything was foolproof, but nothing happened. I can guarantee that there's absolutely no problem on my end, but on your end, not to be nosy, there might be some issues."

Chen Feng wasn't angry about it; instead, he asked with interest, "Oh? Why do you say that?"

Guo Mengyao rolled her eyes at him, annoyed, and said, "Because you have so many female confidantes, you even keep two at home. I seriously suspect that by the time it's finally my turn, the quality of your 'gold' will have already been compromised. Don't you think that makes sense?"

Chen Feng wanted to refute her seemingly absurd deduction, but he also understood that there was some fallacy in her words.

However, Chen Feng still firmly believed that the quality of his "gold" was absolutely fine. After all, Shen Lin and Yasui Miho, who had successfully conceived, as well as Liu Ying and Hong Xiaodan, who had given birth to his children, were in the same situation as Guo Mengyao now.

However, he couldn't directly discuss such private matters with Guo Mengyao, and he also didn't want to argue with her about this issue. So he compromised and said, "How about this, I'll rest and recuperate for two days, and then come to see you the day after tomorrow. Is that alright?"

Guo Mengyao was secretly delighted upon hearing this, but on the surface, she deliberately provoked him with her words: "Can you do it? I'm afraid you can't resist at all."

Chen Feng said somewhat irritably, "It's only two days, how could I possibly not be able to hold back?"

Guo Mengyao chuckled and teased, "I bet you were partying every night before, without missing a single day. If I suddenly ask you to abstain from sex for two days, I'm really afraid you won't be able to hold back."

Chen Feng was too lazy to argue with her any further, and simply assured her with a hint of impatience, "Don't worry, I always keep my word. I'll come to see you on time in two days. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Feng stood up and made a move to leave.

Guo Mengyao was furious. She hadn't even warmed the sofa yet, and he was already in a hurry to leave. Did he dislike her that much?

But she knew Chen Feng didn't like her volatile temper, so she forced herself to suppress her anger and asked in as calm a tone as possible, "Can't you talk to me a little longer?"

Chen Feng was slightly surprised that she didn't react, but he also realized that his attitude towards her was indeed a bit inappropriate, so he sat down again and asked, "Are you sure the company can be sold smoothly within a month?"

Seeing Chen Feng sit down again, Guo Mengyao's anger subsided, and she nodded, saying, "Yes, they are determined to acquire my company. Their group's next market strategy is to precisely target second- and third-tier cities and the vast number of small counties, which is precisely the foundation and advantage of our Mengyao brand."

"So what will the final transaction price be?" Chen Feng asked directly.

Guo Mengyao didn't hide anything, saying with a hint of pride, "All the shares I hold can be sold for 1.5 billion, and the other party has promised to pay me in installments over a year."

Chen Feng frowned slightly upon hearing this and asked, "Why can't we pay in full at once?"

Guo Mengyao shook her head and explained, "This is a huge sum of money after all. Although the other party is a powerful multinational company, it is not easy for them to come up with so much cash flow all at once."

Chen Feng then pressed further: "What if the other party pays the first installment but then deliberately delays making subsequent payments?"

Guo Mengyao smiled confidently and said, "The other party is, after all, a Fortune 500 multinational corporation, and their reputation is of utmost importance. If they dare to delay payment, I will definitely sue them directly. If that happens and it makes international news, it will be a huge blow to their brand image. In addition, the payment method and strict liability for breach of contract will be clearly specified when the acquisition contract is signed. A top-notch professional legal team will be in charge of this, so there will be no mistakes."

Chen Feng nodded slightly in approval: "As long as you know it yourself."

Guo Mengyao added with a smile, "Of course I have to be careful with such a big matter. It's a hard clause in the contract that the other party has to pay in full within a year, and it will only be paid in three installments. The first installment is 700 million yuan, which is close to half of the total price, and it will be paid immediately after the contract is signed. The next two installments will be 400 million yuan each. If the other party is late, they will have to pay high interest every day. If they still can't pay in full within a year, they will have to pay punitive penalties."

"So you haven't signed an agreement with them yet because you haven't agreed on the price?"

"Yes, my target price is 1.5 billion, after all, our company's market value and market share are continuously growing. Of course, they are in a hurry, but the highest price they offered before was 1.3 billion, which is 200 million short. However, if they continue to drag it out, in less than a month, our company's valuation will only be higher, and our market share will further expand, and it may be more than 1.5 billion at that time. Therefore, I am absolutely confident that they will eventually accept my offer."

Seeing Guo Mengyao's confident and self-assured demeanor, Chen Feng couldn't help but admire her. She really did have a touch of the sharp, domineering aura of a female CEO.

It's no wonder she has such a strong personality; she certainly possesses the qualities to command respect. Unfortunately, she's facing her own fate. With a net worth of billions, she might be able to act arrogantly and manipulate other men at will.

However, he is now far wealthier than her; the market value of his Fengmang Film Company alone far exceeds that of hers, not to mention his other vast assets.

Furthermore, in this emotional power struggle, Guo Mengyao is undoubtedly at a disadvantage. Although Chen Feng also likes her, he is far from being hopelessly infatuated with her or unable to live without her.

Before this, Chen Feng had even considered going along with the trend and breaking up with her completely.

In the end, Guo Mengyao couldn't bear to let go of the relationship and took the initiative to turn back, and the two reconciled.

Therefore, no matter how capable Guo Mengyao is, she can't truly stand up for herself in front of Chen Feng. Because Chen Feng can leave her at any time, while she has already become somewhat dependent on him.

Love is like a battlefield; the loser will eventually have no choice but to admit defeat.

After listening to her detailed explanation, Chen Feng kindly advised, "It's good that you're confident, but I always feel that things might change if you delay too long. As for the price, it's fine as long as it's about the same. Lowering it a little won't hurt. With over a billion in cash, as long as you don't buy planes and yachts and live a life of extravagance, you could never spend it all in several lifetimes."

Guo Mengyao took these words to heart and nodded thoughtfully, saying, "I understand the principle of securing profits. How about this, if they contact me again within five days, I can accept the price of 1.45 billion."

Chen Feng nodded and said, "Yes, it's good that you can figure it out."

Guo Mengyao then asked, "By the way, aren't you going back to your hometown for the May Day holiday?"

Chen Feng looked up at her and said, "You didn't go back either, did you? You're still busy at the company."

Guo Mengyao shook her head and said, "I have to work overtime because the company is about to be sold. Can't you see there are hardly any people left in the company right now?"

Chen Feng laughed and said, "Mengting is quite similar to you in this respect. She and Xiaorui have been working overtime at the company these past two days, saying they have a project to keep a close eye on. However, she probably won't be going after today."

Upon hearing this, Guo Mengyao narrowed her eyes meaningfully and said with a smile, "She's quite different from me. I'm a typical example of someone who's tough on the outside but soft on the inside. On the surface, I seem to have a fiery temper and act aggressively, but in reality, I'm very tender-hearted and can even be moved to tears by a public service advertisement. She, on the other hand, is the complete opposite of me. She's soft on the outside but tough on the inside. On the surface, she looks delicate and even a bit frail, but deep down, she's incredibly strong. She's essentially an iron lady. Do you think I'm right?"

Upon closer reflection, Chen Feng realized that it did indeed make sense. However, Guo Mengyao's comments still felt somewhat awkward to him, as he felt she was subtly implying that Wu Mengting was the kind of person with a deep and calculating mind, a kind of yandere.

Chen Feng wisely avoided answering her pointed question or continuing the conversation, instead subtly changing the subject: "It's peak travel season now. If you drive back to your hometown at this time, you'll definitely get stuck in traffic on the highway. Are you not planning to go back either?"

Guo Mengyao then took the opportunity to back down: "Originally, if you were planning to go back, I would have liked to go with you. Since you're not going, then naturally I won't go either."

Chen Feng then said, "If you really want to go back, let's wait until after the May Day holiday. Besides, you still have important matters to discuss regarding the sale of the company, so it's best not to leave Xiuzhou for the time being."

"understood."

Then, Chen Feng patiently chatted with her for another ten minutes before finally being able to say goodbye and leave.

Not long after he got home, his assistant Huang Li called him to report that the seller of the house he had previously been interested in had finally agreed to his offer, but made one condition: Chen Feng had to be able to pay the full amount in one lump sum.

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng agreed without hesitation. Money had never been a problem for him, and paying in full upfront was his consistent practice when buying a house.

So Chen Feng asked Huang Li to tell the seller that they should go to the real estate agency early the next morning to formally sign the contract.

However, not long after, Huang Li called again, saying that the seller said he was free at the moment, and if Chen Feng didn't mind, they could go to the agency to sign the contract right now.

Chen Feng glanced at the time; it was almost four in the afternoon, and he couldn't help but feel speechless.

However, he did want to finalize the purchase of the house as soon as possible so that Zhao Zixuan could come to Xiuzhou to stay at any time without worry.

Therefore, Chen Feng didn't hesitate for long and readily agreed.

Just to be absolutely sure, Chen Feng contacted Lu Guancheng, a professional real estate lawyer who was also an old friend of his.

About half an hour later, in the real estate agency's conference room, Chen Feng and the seller successfully signed the purchase contract.

Then, before the bank closed, Chen Feng efficiently completed the transfer. And before the real estate exchange closed, Lu Guancheng, through internal connections, expedited the relevant transfer procedures.

Another property I've been eyeing has now been officially acquired.

Chen Feng was already used to this, feeling it was no different from buying a cabbage at the market; when you have a lot of money, that's indeed the case.

However, considering the increasing number of properties under his name, it is necessary to have Huang Li, his full-time assistant, help him with miscellaneous tasks such as property fees and utility bills on a regular basis. He can't do these trivial matters himself.

On the way back, Chen Feng told Huang Li about his idea.

Chen Feng had some reservations about Huang Li before, and didn't want her to have too much contact with his private life.

But after spending so much time together and observing her, coupled with his understanding of her character over the years and the rare friendship they shared, Chen Feng finally decided to give her his complete trust.

Huang Li understood perfectly what it meant that Chen Feng entrusted her with handling these extremely personal and trivial matters. It represented a genuine trust without reservation.

After all, this involves multiple properties under Chen Feng's name, and he would never do this unless he absolutely trusted someone.

This decision made Huang Li genuinely happy, and she felt more at ease than ever before. (End of Chapter)
