After the divorce, I started to transfer

When Chen Feng gave the answer, Zhang Yuxi's mind went blank for a moment. Although she had a vague feeling that something was wrong, she was still completely stunned when she heard the verdict.

The main reason was that she herself was one of the company's two cash cows, and Chen Feng, the boss, was a womanizer by nature, with an ambiguous relationship with Zhang Jingwen, not to mention Sun Xiaorui, whom he had already taken.

Therefore, if Wu Mengting were still acting in the company's best interests, she would never cut down this rising cash cow. The worst-case scenario she had considered was being sidelined by Wu Mengting, no longer receiving the same level of favor, and not getting access to any top-tier resources.

But little did she know that Wu Mengting would be so ruthless as to use the lead role in her new drama as a condition to force her to leave.

Does she really incur Wu Mengting's hatred that much? She's practically trying to destroy her.

After a long while, she finally recovered from her shock and, filled with doubt and resentment, asked, "Why did she want me to leave? Does she really hate me that much? I ask myself... I don't think I did anything too outrageous."

Chen Feng thought to himself, "You stole someone else's boyfriend, and that's not considered outrageous?"

He just couldn't say these thoughts out loud, especially since he was "someone else's boyfriend."

Despite his words, Chen Feng patiently advised her, "She already knows about our relationship. If you stubbornly stay at the company, you won't be able to get involved in any of the projects she manages in the future. Besides, she might make things difficult for you every day, like this time when the endorsement was snatched away. It will only happen more often in the future. So, I think leaving now is actually a good thing for you. But don't worry, I'll definitely find you a good new company. Honestly, once you finish filming Wu Mengting's new drama, your popularity will definitely rise to another level, and then there will be plenty of big companies lining up to sign you."

Chen Feng's words sounded considerate enough, but there was still a hint of scum in them, leaving her feeling cold inside. She almost burst into tears, and after finally calming herself down, she asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Then... what about the penalty for breach of contract?"

Chen Feng immediately acted very generously and quickly said, "I'll take care of that; I'll waive it for you."

"Heh..." Zhang Yuxi let out a short, cold laugh, her tone full of undisguised sarcasm. "Mr. Chen is indeed generous. My breach of contract fee is exactly fifty million. I've only been with your company for a little over a year, and I'm just starting to make money for the company. Are you really going to be so merciful as to give it up?"

The tone was clearly barbed.

She had hoped that Chen Feng would come to support her and uphold justice, but what happened? She was told to get lost.

Even with her good temper, she was both angry and heartbroken at that moment. The fact that she didn't start cursing on the spot shows how well-mannered she is.

Of course, the main reason for this was the awe she felt towards Chen Feng. She knew better than anyone that this man was someone she absolutely could not afford to offend or provoke.

Even Qitian Media, the once-powerful leader in the domestic film and television industry, was rendered humiliated by this unfathomable tycoon without making a sound. What is a little star like her?

I was just really angry right now, so I couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

Chen Feng could naturally sense the resentment in her words, and he himself felt somewhat uncomfortable and guilty. After all, ultimately, it was his fault for not handling things well today.

Although Wu Mengting didn't say "it's either her or me," her attitude was practically an ultimatum.

His relationship with Wu Mengting was already in a delicate, tense, and stalemate stage, and he really didn't want to add fuel to the fire.

Besides, deep down, he never really intended to completely sever ties with Zhang Yuxi. What he promised Wu Mengting was merely to allow Zhang Yuxi to leave the company, just like he had done with Yang Wenqi, in order to prevent the conflict between the two women from escalating completely.

After all, not long ago, Yang Wenqi and he had a passionate rendezvous in private.

In his eyes, Zhang Yuxi was nothing more than the second Yang Wenqi, another necessary sacrifice made to quell the anger of the main wife.

Of course, this incident also served as a test for his relationship with Zhang Yuxi. Chen Feng was already mentally prepared to break up with her if she didn't comply. What happens next depends on Zhang Yuxi's choice.

"It was Mengting who insisted you leave, which was unfair of her. So at first, she was willing to compromise, saying that as long as you paid 20 million in breach of contract fees, it would be a discount. But I didn't agree and argued with her for a long time before she finally waived the money for you. She had no choice but to agree." Chen Feng's words were indeed true.

Hearing Chen Feng's self-congratulatory reply, Zhang Yuxi was overwhelmed with mixed feelings and didn't know what to say.

After another long silence, she asked, word by word, "So... you're just giving up on me like this?"

Chen Feng immediately denied it: "I'm not abandoning you. This is just a temporary measure, a last resort. I've already analyzed with you what your situation would be if you stayed at the company. You wouldn't be able to get any decent resources from Mengting anymore. And you know me, as the boss, I basically don't handle the company's day-to-day affairs. Besides, she's still my girlfriend in name only, and the company's daily operations depend on her. What can I do? But don't worry, even if you leave the company, as long as you're willing, I can still be your support. In the future, no matter what insurmountable obstacles or unsolvable problems you encounter, you can always come to me for help."

Hearing these words, Zhang Yuxi felt a mix of emotions, and her tears, which she couldn't hold back, finally flowed down her cheeks like pearls from a broken string.

While Chen Feng's last words sounded heartwarming, like a solid long-term meal ticket, whether he could truly keep his promise remained a huge unknown. The most crucial and humiliating fact was that she would soon be kicked out of Fengmang Film Company.

In what appeared to be a head-on confrontation with Hu Rui, she suffered a crushing defeat, becoming a complete loser. The only difference was that she didn't lose as pathetically as a drowning dog.

The only saving grace is that she was exempted from the tens of millions of yuan penalty for breach of contract when she terminated the contract. At that time, she will regain her freedom and will be able to make her own decisions about which entertainment company she wants to sign with.

Moreover, she firmly believes in the value of Wu Mengting as a top screenwriter and producer. Once this new drama is finished, her popularity will surely rise to another level. Even if she doesn't become a true top star, she can at least solidify her status as a first-tier actress.

When that time comes, her commercial value will surely rise again, at least enough to regain the right to compete with Zhang Jingwen.

After all, she had been in the industry for five or six years and had experienced all sorts of ups and downs in the entertainment world. Chen Feng was not the first sugar daddy she had ever met.

However, after investing nearly two years, she finally developed genuine feelings. Simply put, she found herself unknowingly falling for Chen Feng. Especially in the last few months, she had a clearer sense that she seemed to have fallen in love with this man who was both her boss and her lover.

Even though reason constantly reminded her that this kind of love was like a moth drawn to a flame, unwise, because Chen Feng was far too promiscuous—as far as she knew, he was entangled with several women simultaneously—she was also well aware of her own limitations, knowing that she had absolutely no chance of breaking through in this fierce competition and succeeding in taking his place.

But the thought of parting with Chen Feng like this still made her feel heartbroken and extremely reluctant.

Chen Feng now possesses a mysterious and powerful background, and is tall and handsome, exuding an irresistible mature masculine charm that women find hard to resist, not to mention his immense wealth. She doesn't know when it started, but she finds herself thinking about him all the time, showing a slight tendency towards infatuation.

Chen Feng is undoubtedly the best financial backer he has encountered so far. Rather than saying Wu Mengting single-handedly made her famous, why did Wu Mengting specifically choose to promote her? Ultimately, isn't it because Chen Feng is also Wu Mengting's boss?
Therefore, tracing back to the source, it was Chen Feng who single-handedly promoted her from a second-tier actress to her current position.

Over the past two years, she has worked diligently and painstakingly to maintain her relationship with Chen Feng. Every time she served Chen Feng, she would flatter him in every way and give him whatever he wanted, just to make him happy and satisfied.

Her youth over the past two years, and the feelings she had unknowingly invested, were suddenly swept away by the wind and rain. How could she not feel sad?

At the same time, an indescribable sense of frustration and resentment rose in her heart: Why? Why can Zhang Jingwen, that pen holder, continue to stay in Fengmang Film and Television, and continue to stay by Chen Feng's side, without any problems?
For a fleeting moment, she even had a wicked thought: to tell Wu Mengting that Zhang Jingwen was also having an affair with Chen Feng.

This way, not only will Wu Mengting be thoroughly disgusted, but Zhang Jingwen will also be in a terrible predicament. She wants to see if Wu Mengting will treat Zhang Jingwen the same way and kick her out as well.

But the thought only flashed through her mind for a moment before she quickly realized that if she did that, Chen Feng would be the first to get angry. He might even turn around and teach her a lesson without any mercy. By then, she would probably be long gone from Xiuzhou, so how could Chen Feng possibly still side with his "ex"?

The thought that she would soon become a thing of the past for Chen Feng, and just one of them, filled Zhang Yuxi with an even deeper sense of sorrow.

Hearing Zhang Yuxi's faint sobs on the other end of the phone, Chen Feng's heart stirred slightly. He sighed softly and broke the silence, saying, "I told you, I'll help you find a new job. What do you think of Qitian Media?"

Zhang Yuxi's tone still carried a heavy nasal tone: "Go there... like that Yang Wenqi? After she switched to Qitian Media, her development hasn't been very good. Qitian Media hasn't really been promoting her at all."

Yang Wenqi was initially very surprised when she suddenly switched to Qitian Media, but she didn't know the inside story. Later, she managed to find out some of the reasons through her agent.

Sure enough, the crux of the matter still lies in the private affair between Yang Wenqi and her boss, Chen Feng. There are even rumors that Wu Mengting caught them in bed together.

Upon hearing her words, Chen Feng knew that she was aware of Yang Wenqi's situation. He awkwardly defended himself, saying, "Qitian Media has indeed provided her with resources. Not long ago, they arranged for her to play the second female lead in a big-budget movie. Perhaps, after the movie is released, her popularity will soar overnight."

Chen Feng rarely contacts Yang Wenqi anymore, but Yang Wenqi still sends him WeChat messages every few days without fail, either with carefully edited beautiful selfies or to report on her recent work and life.

Chen Feng would occasionally open it to take a look, but as usual, he rarely replied.

Therefore, he is indeed quite familiar with some of Yang Wenqi's affairs and activities.

Zhang Yuxi, however, disagreed, retorting, "That movie took less than three months from its inception and preparation to completion. The director is a newcomer with no representative works, only in his early thirties, and previously had no reputation in the industry. I heard he wrote the script himself, claiming it was a labor of love that he had been working on for several years. In addition, the movie claimed to have an investment of over 100 million yuan, but I heard Sister Hua say privately that the actual investment cost was no more than 50 million yuan, including at least 20 million yuan for post-production special effects. The director himself is very confident, and I heard he even mortgaged his house to invest in this movie, but industry veterans generally don't have a good outlook on its prospects."

Chen Feng frowned upon hearing this: "That can't be right. Qitian Media is, after all, an industry leader specializing in film production. They only invest money when they are certain that a project has potential. They can't just spend tens of millions of dollars to let a new director practice, can they?"

Zhang Yuxi said casually, "I heard that this new director has a close relationship with President Han of Qitian, Han Xiaoshuang, and they seem to be related."

Chen Feng, however, was somewhat skeptical: "I know Han Xiaoshuang, and she is a very rational and shrewd businesswoman. I don't think she would easily invest tens of millions to make a movie for him just because of some so-called family relationship."

Zhang Yuxi was too lazy to argue with Chen Feng anymore, and simply stated clearly: "Anyway, I don't want to go to Qitian Media."

"Then have you considered going back to your old employer? I can put in a good word for you."

“That’s even more unacceptable,” she immediately replied. “A good horse doesn’t eat the grass it’s already grazed.”

Chen Feng, too lazy to offer any more advice, simply said, "Let's talk about this later. It's not like you're just packing your bags and leaving right now. Mengting's script isn't finished yet. It'll be several months before filming is over. You have plenty of time to choose your next company. Of course, wherever you go, I'll always support you. If the company has suitable scripts and roles in the future, I still have the right to help you get them."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuxi's previously lifeless eyes brightened slightly, and she immediately pressed, "Are you serious? Even if I leave the company, you can still help me get a role? Aren't you...aren't you afraid your girlfriend will object if she finds out?"

"She's not as stingy as you think. If the role is really perfect for you and you're good value for money, what reason would she, as the producer, have to disagree? Business is business, and she can't completely disregard my feelings. Besides, the company's future good scripts won't all be written by her alone. Moreover, we may collaborate with other companies on projects. As long as there's an opportunity and the role is suitable, I will do my best to help you get it."

"Brother Feng, I'll take that seriously. I hope you won't go back on your word in the future." Seeing how serious and determined Chen Feng was, Zhang Yuxi finally began to truly believe him, and the discomfort and frustration in her heart dissipated considerably.

"When have I ever lied to you?" Chen Feng noticed that her tone had become lighter again, and his mood improved as well. He asked her in a matter-of-fact tone.

Zhang Yuxi thought to herself: You've really fooled me today. You lied to me, saying you would stand up for me and punish Hu Rui, but in the end, you're the one who "punished" me.

She spoke in a tone that was both coquettish and dependent, "Of course I believe you. It's just... it's just that you really... saddened me this time. I don't want to break up with you like this."

Although she genuinely believed she wasn't the kind of pretentious "green tea" type, in this situation, she felt she had to be a little "green tea" when necessary. Besides, this was truly her heartfelt sentiment; she genuinely didn't want to break up with Chen Feng like this. (End of Chapter)
