After the divorce, I started to transfer

Chapter 1689 Regaining Freedom

After this little incident at the lakeside, neither of them had any interest in continuing their stroll, so they walked back to the parking area without saying a word.

Since it wasn't far from Donghu Jinyuan, Zhang Jingwen took the opportunity to ask Chen Feng to take her back, hoping to get more time alone with him.

Chen Feng drove her to the underground parking lot of Donghu Jinyuan. Before getting out of the car, Zhang Jingwen asked gently, her voice carrying a barely perceptible plea, "Would you like to come upstairs with me for a bit?"

Chen Feng glanced at the time; it was almost five o'clock. He shook his head and refused, saying, "It's getting late; I have to go back."

Zhang Jingwen reluctantly reached out and grasped his large hand with her soft, warm one, looking at him with pleading eyes, without saying a word. She really did have a rather pitiful air about her.

This time, however, Chen Feng did not soften his stance. He calmly withdrew his hand from her grasp and said in a composed tone, "I've spent the whole afternoon with you, and now I have to go back to have dinner with my girlfriend."

Hearing him state his reason so bluntly, Zhang Jingwen felt a pang of sadness, but she knew she couldn't force the issue any further. She could only manage a slightly stiff smile and say, "We ate so much before, can you still eat tonight?"

"I've always had a big appetite, and I'm actually quite hungry now." At this point, Chen Feng subtly urged, "Alright, you can go now. We'll contact each other again next time."

No matter how unwilling Zhang Jingwen was, seeing his resolute attitude, she had no choice but to obediently push open the door and get out of the car.

As she turned around and waved goodbye to Chen Feng in the car, Chen Feng had already started the car, turned the steering wheel decisively, and drove away in an arc without looking back.

Zhang Jingwen's smile vanished instantly. She watched the car disappear into the taillights, sighed softly, and turned away forlornly towards the elevator.

……

When I got home, the wall clock showed 5:30.

According to the agreement between Chen Feng and Wu Mengting, if he didn't return by 5:30, they could start eating on their own and didn't need to wait for him. Of course, there was no need to call him to inquire; he had his own plans.

At that moment, Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui had just started eating when they saw Chen Feng push the door open and enter, both of them showing a hint of surprise on their faces.

However, they all tacitly refrained from asking any further questions.

Almost instinctively, Sun Xiaorui immediately put down her chopsticks, got up, and went into the kitchen to skillfully serve him rice.

Chen Feng changed his shoes, walked over and sat down, and casually asked Wu Mengting, "How was your writing today?"

While chewing the food in her mouth, Wu Mengting mumbled, "It's alright. After I got the joint that got stuck before sorted out, it's been going pretty smoothly so far."

"That's good. Don't be too anxious. It's okay to write slowly sometimes. The most important thing is to ensure quality."

"Do you even need to tell me that?" Wu Mengting rolled her eyes at him.

Chen Feng chuckled and said no more.

At this moment, Sun Xiaorui had already brought him a steaming bowl of rice. Chen Feng took it and started eating.

He did eat quite a lot of hot pot at Dai Sixian's place at noon, but anyone who has eaten hot pot knows that if you don't eat some solid staple foods like rice cakes or noodles, you'll get hungry quite quickly afterwards.

Chen Feng was feeling quite hungry, so this dinner was just right.

After dinner, the three chatted for a while in the living room before Wu Mengting went upstairs to continue working on her script.

Only Chen Feng and Sun Xiaorui remained in the living room, and this rare time together made the atmosphere warm and peaceful.

Sun Xiaorui seemed very happy about this, and became much more talkative. She also brought out a lot of snacks from the storage room. The two of them snuggled up on the sofa, eating snacks and watching TV, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Around ten o'clock, the two turned off the TV and went upstairs together.

This time, Chen Feng went to Sun Xiaorui's bedroom and even took a bath with her, enjoying her tenderness and care.

The next morning, a light drizzle began to fall outside the window, but Chen Feng still got up early as usual and went downstairs to the gym to exercise.

Neither woman went to work because it was the weekend.

However, after exercising and having breakfast, Chen Feng still went out alone and drove to the postpartum care center to visit Shen Lin.

Shen Lin has only been here for two days, but she seems to have completely adapted. According to her enthusiastic description, the service here is indeed impeccable, with professionalism evident in every aspect. Even the ordinary cleaners seem to have received rigorous professional training, displaying skillful techniques and rich experience.

In addition, the food here is diverse and nutritionally balanced, with a dedicated nutritionist who has created a personalized diet plan for her. She feels great physically and mentally after eating here for the past two days.

As for the hygiene of the kitchen, there's no need to worry. Chen Feng accompanied her on a tour last time she visited; it was spotless and impeccably clean. Moreover, the entire kitchen area is covered by surveillance cameras, and the situation can be viewed in real-time on the closed-circuit television in the lobby.

Needless to say, the kitchen here adheres to extremely strict hygiene and food procurement standards. Some seasonal vegetables are guaranteed to be absolutely fresh, and any vegetables that show even the slightest sign of being not fresh will be immediately thrown into the trash.

According to the staff at the postpartum care center, they have dedicated quality control personnel to supervise this aspect and promptly handle any fresh ingredients that do not meet the standards.

Moreover, the kitchen is completely open to customers and their families and is subject to supervision at any time.

After all, the minimum spending for the service packages here starts at tens of thousands of yuan. Customers who can afford to stay here are either rich or powerful, so their requirements for service quality are naturally quite demanding.

Otherwise, if they are found to have cheated on the food or if there are hygiene problems, the owner of this postpartum care center will probably be in deep trouble from top to bottom.

Simply put, this postpartum care center neither dares nor needs to act recklessly in these areas.

After all, the clients have already paid a considerable amount of money, and the profit margin of the postpartum care center is large enough that there is absolutely no need to cut corners on food costs.

Moreover, the staff here enjoy excellent salaries and benefits, so everyone naturally cherishes this job and is more dedicated to serving customers.

In short, Shen Lin is indeed quite comfortable living here.

Seeing that she was in good condition, Chen Feng was completely relieved. He stayed with her and chatted until noon, only leaving when she was about to have lunch.

After leaving the postpartum care center, Chen Feng drove to see Guo Mengyao.

She has officially signed an equity transfer agreement with Fangya Group, and the first transfer payment of 2 million yuan has been deposited into her account.

However, she did not immediately leave the company, but chose to stay and cooperate with the management team sent by Fangya Group to carry out the subsequent handover work.

Fortunately, she finished the last few tasks this morning and will be completely free.

Not long ago, she sent a message to Chen Feng to share the good news with him, and then warmly invited him to have lunch together to celebrate.

She has now transformed into a true "free agent," and a single, wealthy woman with hundreds of millions in cash at her disposal, so there is indeed a reason to celebrate.

Chen Feng was genuinely happy for her, and since it was lunchtime, he readily agreed. The two met at a private restaurant she recommended.

The restaurant is located not far from her former company, which also means it is not far from Zijinyuan.

In the antique-style private room, Guo Mengyao had obviously been waiting for a long time and had already ordered the dishes. Three or four exquisite hot dishes were already laid out on the table, steaming gently. "I've been waiting for you for almost half an hour, so I took the liberty of ordering the dishes first. Four dishes have already been served, and there are still five dishes to be served. You've arrived just in time, so you can start eating right away."

As Guo Mengyao spoke, she considerately set out the bowls and chopsticks for Chen Feng.

Chen Feng wasn't one to stand on ceremony. After sitting down, he picked up his chopsticks and said with a smile, "Then let's not wait any longer and start eating."

After saying that, he started eating without any hesitation. Seeing his casual attitude, Guo Mengyao couldn't help but smile and also picked up her chopsticks.

This restaurant serves modern fusion cuisine, but its style leans more towards Cantonese cuisine. The flavors are light and fresh, and it's quite good. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to establish itself in this area, where land is incredibly valuable, and the rent alone is a substantial sum.

After Chen Feng had finished eating the dishes on the table in a whirlwind, he rang the bell to call the waiter and ordered two more bowls of rice.

Then, the remaining five dishes were served one after another.

After Chen Feng finished two bowls of rice, he also devoured most of the dishes on the table.

Guo Mengyao didn't even touch the rice, only taking small bites of vegetables, looking like she was trying to lose weight and maintain her figure. Chen Feng couldn't help but complain, "Didn't you say you were pregnant? Why are you eating so little? Are you trying to lose weight?"

Guo Mengyao glared at him disapprovingly before explaining, "I just haven't had much of an appetite lately. I'm definitely pregnant, so of course I wouldn't be stupid enough to control my diet to lose weight. Do you think I'm that dumb?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng's expression turned serious, and he said with concern, "A poor appetite can be a big deal or a small one. If you are really pregnant, you need to take it seriously. If you are still like this tomorrow, you should go to the hospital to get checked out as soon as possible."

"I know, don't worry. It's probably just a normal reaction when you're newly pregnant. I remember when I was pregnant with my daughter, I was like that too. I didn't have much of an appetite at first, and I often had morning sickness. It should get better after a while."

"Morning sickness? It can't start this fast, can it? It's only been a short time."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. If I'm still not feeling better by tomorrow, I'll go to the hospital and get an appointment."

"That's good."

Hearing her say that, Chen Feng felt a little relieved, and then asked, "Do you only have one nanny taking care of the child at home right now?"

"Well, one is enough for now."

"I don't think that will work. You should find another one, preferably a young female assistant. She can help you with the little things in your life. How about your previous assistant?"

Guo Mengyao shook her head and said, "Neither of my previous assistants were suitable. One was very career-driven; as soon as she learned I was selling the company, she immediately volunteered to Fangya Group. In fact, the smooth handover was largely thanks to my 'good assistant's' strong support. The other assistant was too inexperienced, and she's now been recruited by Fangya, where she's getting a good salary and benefits. She definitely wouldn't want to come and be my personal assistant. I really couldn't offer her a higher salary."

Chen Feng nodded, indicating his understanding: "That's true. However, you are quite wealthy now, so you can't be too stingy in this regard. In your current situation, as a single woman with so much money, you definitely need a few trustworthy people around you. I suggest you hire a female bodyguard and driver, and also have a personal assistant to help you with all sorts of trivial matters in your life."

After listening to Chen Feng's analysis and thinking about it carefully, Guo Mengyao agreed with his suggestion.

“You’re absolutely right. Although our country has a very good public security, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. As a single, wealthy woman, I’d feel safest traveling with a bodyguard and assistant. Do you have any reliable candidates you could recommend?”

After a moment's thought, Chen Feng said, "As for bodyguards, I do have someone I recommend. I hired her for Yu Jiao before. She works for a professional security company, is a veteran, very professional, and absolutely trustworthy. As for assistants, I don't really have any good candidates right now. For such close personal people, you'd better look for someone from among your relatives and friends. You must find someone you know well, someone honest and reliable, otherwise it's better not to hire anyone at all."

Guo Mengyao clearly trusted Chen Feng a lot, and immediately decided, "Okay, I'll trouble you to help me contact the bodyguards. I'll figure out an assistant myself."

Chen Feng added, "I'll contact a bodyguard for you first. Don't worry about the assistant; when it comes to people around you, it's better to have none than someone unreliable. Reliability is the most important thing."

Compared to bodyguards who mostly accompany her when she goes out, a personal assistant is undoubtedly more intimate and needs to be deeply involved in her daily life. This includes not only helping her with trivial matters but also potentially accessing some of her personal privacy. Therefore, the candidate must be more trustworthy.

"I understand your idea."

Guo Mengyao, of course, understood the stakes involved.

"Okay, then I'll toast you with this glass of juice to congratulate you on regaining your freedom and on becoming a true billionaire. Cheers!"

Chen Feng raised the juice glass in front of him.

Seeing this, Guo Mengyao happily picked up her half-full glass of juice, smiled broadly, and said, "Thank you. I also wish us a happy baby soon."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng's lips twitched involuntarily. He thought to himself that it wasn't even 100% certain whether she was pregnant or not, let alone whether it was a boy or a girl. Most importantly, there wasn't even a glimpse of this "precious child" yet.

However, not wanting to spoil her fun, he didn't say much, but simply raised his glass and lightly clinked it with hers before drinking it all in one gulp.

Guo Mengyao was also very happy and finished the half glass of juice.

The two chatted for a while in the private room, and then Chen Feng immediately called the female bodyguard, Miao Na.

It was lunchtime, and he figured that even if Miao Na had work to do, she would still have time to answer the phone.

The call connected quickly, and Chen Feng got straight to the point, explaining the situation. Miao Na hesitated for a moment before replying, "I currently have a security assignment that won't end for about two weeks. Also... I've started dating someone, and he wants us to get engaged during the National Day holiday, after which I'll quit this line of work. So... I might not be a bodyguard anymore after the National Day engagement. If your friend doesn't mind, I can come and be your friend's bodyguard after this assignment is completed, until National Day, which is about five months."

Chen Feng's phone was on speakerphone. He immediately looked up at Guo Mengyao and asked with a hint of curiosity, "What does your boyfriend do? Is he very rich? He's actually willing to stop you from doing this kind of work."

The bodyguard profession, especially for outstanding female bodyguards like Miao Na, is quite rare, and the salary and benefits are quite good. The basic monthly salary is about 10,000 yuan, and if they frequently go on missions, in addition to various allowances and bonuses, the income is even more considerable.

Miao Na on the other end of the phone seemed a little embarrassed and said somewhat awkwardly, "My boyfriend is my junior high school classmate. He is now a truck driver who drives special vehicles. He can earn about 200,000 to 300,000 yuan a year."

Chen Feng subconsciously calculated it in his mind and thought to himself that it wasn't that much.

However, he quickly realized that his current expectations were too high. Looking at the whole country, an annual net income of two or three hundred thousand yuan is actually quite remarkable.

Her boyfriend certainly has the confidence to persuade her to quit her current demanding and somewhat dangerous bodyguard job.

"That's really great. But he wouldn't be thinking of you quitting your job and driving a big truck like him, would he? After all, you have a full set of A1 and A2D driver's licenses."

Miao Na was silent for a moment before admitting, "He does have that idea. However, I'm still considering it myself."

Chen Feng looked up at Guo Mengyao again and saw her nod slightly at him before saying into the phone, "Okay then, contact me directly after you finish this task. My friend has agreed."

"Okay, thank you so much, Mr. Chen." Miao Na's tone was filled with joy. After all, she wanted to earn more money before resigning to secure her future.

"Okay, it's settled then. Goodbye."

Goodbye, Mr. Chen.

After ending the call, Chen Feng looked at Guo Mengyao and asked, "Why did you agree? She can only work for a few months."

Guo Mengyao said with a smile, "I think she is a very honest person. She was able to make it clear from the beginning that she was getting engaged and resigning. She could have kept it a secret until she started the job. In addition, she answers whatever you ask her. She is straightforward and honest, and I really like that kind of personality."

Chen Feng thought about it and realized it made sense, so he didn't say anything more. (End of Chapter)
