After the divorce, I started to transfer

After discussing the somewhat heavy topic of having children, Chen Feng changed the subject, his gaze falling on Zhao Zixuan, and asked with concern, "You live here alone, aren't you afraid at night? This house is so big, do you want me to find you a nanny?"

Zhao Zixuan shook her head and refused almost without thinking: "I don't want to live under the same roof as a stranger. Don't worry, I'm very brave, I won't be afraid to live alone. Besides, didn't I live alone in Shanghai too?"

Chen Feng smiled upon hearing this and patiently explained, "The one in Shanghai was just a suite, with limited space, and you could see the whole thing at a glance. But this is a real villa, with so many empty rooms upstairs and downstairs, and even a basement. Aren't you scared at all living here alone?"

After his description, Zhao Zixuan hesitated for a moment before admitting, "Now that you mention it, it does seem a bit empty for me to be alone in such a big villa. But deep down, I don't like being in a room with strangers; it makes me feel very uncomfortable."

Chen Feng pondered for a moment and then offered a suggestion: "Do you have any close classmates or friends in Xiuzhou? If you trust them, you could invite them to come and keep you company. By the way, Gong Huize also lives in a nearby community; she rents an apartment. If you two get along well, you could have her move in with you."

Zhao Zixuan's delicate brows furrowed slightly, somewhat surprised: "Hasn't Gong Huize returned to Shanghai yet?"

"It seems they didn't go back, otherwise they wouldn't have specifically rented a place here."

"What exactly is she trying to do?" Zhao Zixuan's face was full of doubt. "I haven't seen her bring her boyfriend over. She's living here all alone."

At this point, she looked intently at Chen Feng, her gaze filled with scrutiny and amusement, and said, "Could it be... that she's taken a liking to you?"

Chen Feng's expression stiffened slightly. He had to admit that Zhao Zixuan's intuition was frighteningly sharp.

Chen Feng felt there was no need to deliberately hide it, so he frankly said, "She did seem a bit too enthusiastic towards me, but since she didn't formally confess her feelings, I can't be 100% sure what she really thinks. But don't worry, I'm completely indifferent to her. Her type has never been my cup of tea."

Zhao Zixuan wasn't angry after hearing this. Instead, she smiled knowingly and said, "I think she does have ulterior motives towards you. However, the main reason is that she mistakenly believes you are my boyfriend, so she wants to seduce you to prove that she is more charming than me. Once you take the bait, she will be extremely proud. Then, at a certain moment, she will come to me to show off, ultimately achieving her goal of breaking us up. That's just the kind of person she is, enjoying the thrill of manipulating others."

Chen Feng smiled noncommittally and said, "Anyway, I'm not interested in her. Even if she tries her best to seduce me, it's all in vain."

"She's a recognized beauty, and she even has a boyfriend. You really didn't like her at all?" Zhao Zixuan looked at him with feigned suspicion, a hint of slyness in her eyes.

"Why would I lie to you?" Chen Feng rolled his eyes at her, somewhat annoyed.

Zhao Zixuan's smile deepened: "Gong Huize, she has no idea about the real relationship between you and me. She naively thought that by seducing you, she could anger and hurt me. She's really mistaken. To be honest, if you really sleep with her, I won't have any objections."

Chen Feng shook his head: "Alright, let's not talk about her anymore. It seems that the conflict and resentment between you two have run deep. It's impossible for you to live together and keep each other company."

"I could never live with her anyway, so I'll just live alone. At worst, you can try to spend more time with me in the future."

"So what are your plans next? What are you going to do here? Do you want to find a less demanding job?" After all, she had already moved to Xiuzhou for him and planned to settle down here, so Chen Feng naturally wanted to think more about her future.

“I don’t plan to work for the time being,” Zhao Zixuan said after thinking for a moment. “However, I’ve always had the habit of trading stocks, and I plan to focus on short-term trading from home from now on. Also, I might try to create a financial media account. And I’ll continue doing volunteer work, but not as frequently as before, just occasionally.”

"As long as you have something to do and don't get bored, that's fine. However, I still think you should make more new friends here. Otherwise, it's not good to always stay at home alone."

"Of course I won't stay cooped up at home all the time." Zhao Zixuan gave him a reassuring look. "I'll definitely go out shopping and have afternoon tea sometimes. As for friends, I actually have a few college classmates here, and we get along pretty well. Once I'm completely settled in, I'll contact them to get together, maybe go shopping or have a meal together sometime. Don't worry, I definitely won't let myself get bored here."

"That's good." Chen Feng nodded.

Zhao Zixuan quickly moved closer, her eyes filled with anticipation, and asked, "Then, how many times a week can you meet with me? I hope... at least three times."

Chen Feng firmly shook his head and refused: "Three times is impossible. At most, I can only guarantee to meet with you at least once a week. Of course, if circumstances allow, meeting every day is not out of the question."

Zhao Zixuan immediately became dissatisfied, pouting and saying, "At least twice, that's my bottom line. Otherwise, what was the point of me moving all the way to Xiuzhou?"

Chen Feng thought about it. The two of them lived so close now, it was just a matter of stepping on the gas. In addition, she had indeed moved to Xiuzhou specifically for him. His heart softened a little. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, then twice."

It's just meeting twice, not necessarily staying here for two nights, so the nature of the meeting is obviously different.

Zhao Zixuan immediately beamed, happily hugged his neck, and kissed him on the cheek.

The two chatted for a while longer until Chen Feng reminded them that it was getting late. They quickly took a shower together, changed their clothes, and went out to eat.

It was already 1 p.m., and the two of them still hadn't finished their lunch.

They didn't go to any fancy restaurants; they just found a seafood noodle shop near the villa that had decent online reviews.

This noodle shop is quite famous, decorated in a classic style, full of lively atmosphere, and its business is naturally booming.

Even though it was past lunchtime, most of the tables in the restaurant were still full of customers when the two of them went in.

Both of them ordered the restaurant's most expensive signature dish, the Ten Fresh Seafood Noodles, which cost seventy yuan a bowl and contained ten kinds of fresh seafood.

Less than ten minutes later, two steaming, fragrant bowls of noodles were served.

The two were engrossed in their meal when someone suddenly leaned over and whispered to Chen Feng, "Boss, what a coincidence, you're here for noodles too?"

Chen Feng looked up and was surprised to see Jiang Xiaoshan and Wen Jing, whom he hadn't seen in a long time. It was Jiang Xiaoshan who greeted him. She had been a trainee personally signed by Chen Feng, but had now successfully become a full-fledged artist with Fengmang Film & Television, taking on minor supporting roles in some film and television dramas. While her acting talent wasn't outstanding, she was highly versatile, and her pure and beautiful appearance made her very photogenic; she could handle some minor, decorative roles.

Chen Feng simply gave her a faint "hmm" and nodded slightly, clearly not wanting to say anything more to them here.

After all, he's with Zhao Zixuan right now and doesn't want to be disturbed by others.

Jiang Xiaoshan and Wen Jing had, of course, noticed the beautiful Zhao Zixuan sitting opposite Chen Feng long ago. Seeing Chen Feng's indifferent attitude, they immediately understood his meaning.

Jiang Xiaoshan immediately smiled with just the right amount of embarrassment and said, "Then please enjoy your meal. We won't disturb you any longer."

After saying that, she pulled Wen Jing to sit down at another table that had just been vacated not far away.

Zhao Zixuan also looked at Jiang Xiaoshan and Wen Jing with some curiosity, then asked in a low voice in Lushi dialect, "Are they from your company?"

Chen Feng explained succinctly, "The one who greeted me just now is from my company, the other one isn't."

"This girl is quite pretty," Zhao Zixuan said sincerely.

"She's an actress."

"Oh, what plays has she acted in?" "I think she played a maid with few lines in 'Flying Flowers,' but I don't know much else. They were all minor roles."

“Oh, no wonder,” Zhao Zixuan suddenly realized, “No wonder he came to a place like this to eat noodles so casually, without even wearing a mask or sunglasses.”

"She's only just debuted, and she has a long road ahead of her. We can still look forward to her."

"That depends on whether you, the big boss, are willing to promote her. What, are you planning to personally promote her?" Zhao Zixuan teased casually.

Chen Feng shook his head and said frankly, "I basically don't care about company affairs anymore. My girlfriend handles all the big and small matters."

"You really trust your girlfriend a lot. Aren't you afraid she'll have too much power and completely sideline you, the founder?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng smiled and said, "So be it. As long as she's willing, I can give her the entire company anytime."

Zhao Zixuan suddenly felt a pang of jealousy, as if a jar of vinegar had been spilled, but she couldn't show it directly. She could only silently lower her head, eat the noodles in her bowl with gusto, and stop talking.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaoshan and Wen Jing sat facing each other across the table. On the surface, they were waiting for their noodles, but in reality, they were exchanging text messages rapidly on WeChat.

[This woman is so beautiful, her aura is amazing! What do you think her relationship is with the boss?]

They're definitely having an affair.

Not necessarily. What if it's a friend, classmate, or even a relative?

You know your boss's character; he's notoriously womanizing. This woman is so beautiful, and has such a great figure. I'd bet they're not related, but they're definitely having an affair.

I noticed they were all speaking the local dialect of Lushi, so they're quite likely related.

On the contrary, this woman seems more like an old flame he's keeping hidden back in his hometown.

Oh well, let's not speculate. It's none of our business anyway.

[Such a great opportunity, how could it not be yours? It's practically a godsend!]

What good opportunities are there?

[Your boss and this beautiful woman definitely have a special relationship. If you tell Wu Mengting this, she might be so happy that she can arrange a good role for you in her upcoming drama.]

Isn't this betraying the boss? He personally signed me into the company.

"Fool, didn't you say that Wu Mengting, the boss's wife, is now running the company? Your boss hasn't been to the company in ages. Besides, he just signed you up and then washed his hands of everything, giving you no special treatment whatsoever. Your most important thing now is to find a way to ingratiate yourself with Wu Mengting, the 'official wife.' Only by building a good relationship with her will you have a real chance to rise in the ranks. Otherwise, are you planning to keep playing these insignificant supporting roles forever?"

No, if the boss finds out, I'm completely finished.

[As long as you secretly tell Wu Mengting and ask her to keep it a secret, everything will be fine. Even if things are exposed, with Wu Mengting around, she will definitely protect you.]

"Forget it, I don't want to take the risk. I'm already content with playing small supporting roles and having acting opportunities, considering my acting skills are still quite average."

"You're driving me crazy! This is such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you don't seize it now, when will you ever get ahead? Listen to me, quickly and secretly take a picture and send it to Wu Mengting, I guarantee she'll give you special treatment. Didn't you say she's preparing a new script and about to start filming a new drama? If you miss this opportunity, how much precious time will you waste? You need to become famous as early as possible, don't you understand?"

While typing rapidly on her phone to persuade him, Wen Jing also gave Jiang Xiaoshan across the table an urgent look. From her angle, she could easily take a picture of Chen Feng's table with her phone.

Unfortunately, Jiang Xiaoshan's face was full of struggle and hesitation, and she showed no intention of taking action.

Wen Jing gestured several times with her eyes, but seeing no response, she continued typing to urge her: 【Hurry up! They're almost finished eating!】

But Jiang Xiaoshan remained unmoved, which made Wen Jing so angry that she wanted to get up and beat her up.

This is truly a case of the emperor not being worried while the eunuch is.

Just then, the three-ingredient noodles they ordered were served. Jiang Xiaoshan immediately put down her phone, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating the noodles.

Frustrated and at her wits' end, Wen Jing's mind raced, and a plan came to her. She casually raised her phone, pretending to take a picture of the tempting bowl of three-delicacy noodles in front of her. In reality, however, the camera subtly framed the heartwarming scene of Chen Feng and Zhao Zixuan eating noodles together in the background from a clever selfie angle, and she even silently took several more pictures.

Her movements were extremely discreet, and her photography skills were quite proficient. After all, she was an internet celebrity and was already very familiar with all kinds of mobile phone operations.

Therefore, not only were Chen Feng and Zhao Zixuan completely unaware of this, but even Jiang Xiaoshan, who was sitting opposite her, was fooled and thought that she was really taking pictures of the three-delicacy noodles in front of her, preparing to post them on her WeChat Moments to show off.

After taking the photos to her heart's content, Wen Jing put down her phone, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating.

Meanwhile, Chen Feng and the other man were both quite hungry, so they ate very quickly.

Zhao Zixuan has long since abandoned her reserve in front of Chen Feng and no longer cares too much about her eating manners.

The two of them finished the large bowl of noodles in less than ten minutes.

After paying the bill, they left without saying goodbye to Jiang Xiaoshan and the other woman, and went straight out of the noodle shop.

As they left the store, Zhao Zixuan naturally took Chen Feng's arm and pressed her body intimately against him.

Jiang Xiaoshan and Wen Jing witnessed this entire scene.

Wen Jing gave Jiang Xiaoshan across the table a smug smile: "See? I told you so. They're definitely having an affair, what relatives, anyway?"

Jiang Xiaoshan, of course, saw it clearly as well, and a subtle, indescribable sense of loss welled up deep within her heart. Previously, she had assumed that Chen Feng had signed her to the company because he was somewhat lusting after her body and had some interest in her.

To this day, Chen Feng has shown no sign of wanting to harm her. This has dealt a significant blow to her confidence.

Seeing Zhao Zixuan beside Chen Feng today, the confidence and charm she exuded made her feel ashamed for the first time. (End of Chapter)
