After the divorce, I started to transfer

Zhang Yuxi was clearly afraid of making Chen Feng angry and didn't want to break up with him.

This is also why she confessed to Chen Feng before.

But now, upon hearing Chen Feng's words, she knew that this was the prelude to Chen Feng breaking up with her.

So she quickly said, "Boss, I really didn't want to terminate my contract with the company so soon. In fact, as long as Mr. Wu doesn't fire me, I'm willing to stay with the company."

"Do you think that's still possible now?" Chen Feng asked calmly.

Zhang Yuxi expressed her determination: "As long as President Wu agrees to keep me and doesn't deliberately target or suppress me in the future, I will continue to stay in the company."

"Alright, it's settled then. Tell your agent that you can come to the company to terminate the contract at any time. You won't have to pay the penalty for breach of contract, and you'll be free."

"Then...then we..." Zhang Yuxi's voice was weak, her face full of pitiful expression.

Although she didn't finish her sentence, she had already conveyed her meaning.

Chen Feng said calmly, "You've already found a new company, and they're quite generous, willing to give you a signing bonus of 20 million. Of course, I'm happy for you. Besides, this company is very powerful. They're spending so much money to sign you, so they'll definitely promote you a lot in the future. Therefore, you probably don't need me to help you. Let's just be friends from now on."

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Zhang Yuxi's eyes immediately reddened, and she choked out, "Are you really planning to break up with me?"

Chen Feng frowned slightly and said, "I'm doing this for your own good. Now that you're signing with a new company, don't have any more entanglements with my former boss."

"But you promised me you wouldn't break up with me." Tears were already welling up in Zhang Yuxi's eyes.

"Times have changed. Back then, you hadn't found a new company yet, and your agent didn't cause a scene at the company."

"But I don't want to break up with you." Tears were already streaming down Zhang Yuxi's face.

Chen Feng sighed and said, "Actually, I don't want to either, but that's life. You know my temperament; I'm not a good man. Continuing to entangle yourself with me won't do you any good. Besides, once you sign with Maiteng Interactive Entertainment, it will be difficult for us to see each other again."

Zhang Yuxi's tears flowed even more freely. Maiteng Interactive Entertainment Company is located in Shenzhen, which is quite far from Xiuzhou.

If she signs with Maiteng Interactive Entertainment, she will have to live in Shenzhen for a long time, and she will have fewer opportunities to see Chen Feng.

"I don't want to... I won't break up with you... You already promised me, you can't go back on your word..."

Zhang Yuxi said through tears.

Chen Feng remained unmoved and said calmly, "As I just said, times have changed. After your agent caused a scene at the company, she brought the conflicts between you and Hu Rui, and even with Meng Ting, into the open. So, Meng Ting and I have agreed that we will have Hu Rui resign voluntarily, and as for you, we will terminate your contract according to the original agreement and not charge any penalty. Consequently, it's not appropriate for me to continue our personal relationship."

When Zhang Yuxi heard that Hu Rui was going to be fired, she felt a little better, but not very happy. She choked up and asked, "Is it... that Wu Mengting forced you to break up with me again?"

“You’ve wronged her this time. This was my own decision.” Chen Feng then comforted her, “Don’t worry, even though we’re not lovers anymore, we’re still friends. If you encounter any difficulties, I will definitely help you.”

“…I still don’t want to break up…” Zhang Yuxi burst into tears in front of the camera, her face covered in tears, completely abandoning her celebrity image.

Seeing her like this, Chen Feng's original determination to break up began to waver.

The reason he wanted to break up was because he felt he had been tricked by her. He also felt that since she had found someone else, she no longer respected him as her former employer.

Her agent caused a scene at the company, and she didn't contact him before or afterward, which clearly made her feel disrespected.

In addition, he had previously told Wu Mengting that he wanted to break up with Zhang Yuxi, and now that Hu Rui was about to be kicked out, it was only natural for him to go along with it and officially break up with Zhang Yuxi in order to save face for Wu Mengting.

In Chen Feng's view, Zhang Yuxi now has a powerful new employer and shouldn't be too reluctant to let him go.

result……

On the phone screen, Zhang Yuxi was crying uncontrollably, completely losing her composure and appearing utterly devastated. If recorded, it would definitely be a shocking and embarrassing moment in her past.

And seeing how heartbroken she is, it's definitely not an act. If she had that kind of acting skill, she wouldn't have only become popular again last year.

Chen Feng was somewhat soft-hearted, but deep down he didn't really want to continue the relationship with her and be manipulated by her.

So, after watching her cry for a while, Chen Feng said coldly, "You should terminate your contract with the company first, and we can talk about other things later."

"Then...we're not breaking up?" Zhang Yuxi asked expectantly.

"I told you, you've terminated your contract with the company, then we can talk about our business. Okay, let's leave it at that for now."

After Chen Feng finished speaking, he immediately hung up the video call.

He was extremely impatient with these ridiculous matters, but since they involved him, he had no choice but to step in and deal with them.

Zhang Yuxi, on the other side, was stunned for a while after Chen Feng hung up on her so suddenly, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

She genuinely didn't want to break up with Chen Feng. After all, Chen Feng was her first love and the only man who had ever truly entered her heart and soul.

To put it simply, she developed feelings for Chen Feng.

Before Chen Feng, she had never been in a relationship. Even though she had dated a couple of sugar daddies, it wasn't for very long. And she tried her best to forget about them.

Only Chen Feng was truly etched in her heart.

Moreover, Chen Feng is so outstanding in every way, no fool would give up so easily.

It took Zhang Yuxi a while to compose herself before she managed to stop crying.

She went to the bathroom to wash her face, and then she noticed that her eyes were red and swollen.

After sitting back down on the sofa in her hotel room, she picked up her phone and called her agent, Hua Ling.

"Xixi, why are you calling me again? Is something wrong?"

Before Chen Feng sent the video to Zhang Yuxi, they had already spoken on the phone.

"My boss just contacted me and asked why I went to the company to cause trouble today..."

"What did you answer?" Hua Ling quickly asked.

"I'll tell you the truth. I told you you wanted to get revenge for me, and I also mentioned the Maiteng Interactive Entertainment thing..."

"My goodness!" Hua Ling exclaimed, interrupting her, and complained, "Why did you still tell her? I've told you so many times not to say anything before you successfully terminate the contract! You're driving me crazy..."

"He said I could terminate the contract anytime, tomorrow, and without any penalty."

"Ah...really! We can terminate the contract tomorrow?" Hua Ling was overjoyed.

"Um... but he wants to break up with me." At this point, Zhang Yuxi couldn't help but sob again.

After a moment of stunned silence, Hua Ling sighed and said, "Xi Xi, you need to realize the true nature of your relationship with him. At most, you are lovers, not boyfriend and girlfriend. He has many female confidantes, and you are just one of them, perhaps even one of the less prominent ones. If you develop real feelings for him, you will only cause yourself pain. You need to be clear-headed."

Zhang Yuxi said reproachfully, "We went a bit too far this time. You shouldn't have gone to the company and made a scene, letting everyone know that we were being forced out, and exposing the conflict between Wu Mengting and me."

“My dear aunt, wasn’t I doing all this so that you could terminate your contract with the company as soon as possible? Now that we’ve achieved our goal, haven’t we? You should fly back to Xiuzhou tomorrow, no, tonight, and we’ll go to the company to terminate the contract first thing tomorrow morning, so that nothing else goes wrong.”

Zhang Yuxi said somewhat angrily, "The problem is, he saw through our scheme at a glance. That's why he wants to break up with me."

“Xixi, I told you not to let your emotions get the better of you. Why won’t you listen?” Hua Ling frowned, her tone slightly stern. “Your relationship with him will never be seen in the light of day, you know? It’s fine for you to play around with him, but you can’t develop feelings for him. He will never marry you, nor will he ever make you his girlfriend. In his eyes, you’re just a plaything. You can never replace Wu Mengting in his heart, do you understand? That’s reality, and you have to accept it. So, it’s better to break up. Although he’s outstanding, he’s so fickle and doesn’t really care about you. If Wu Mengting pressures you, he’ll just kick you out. You can find someone better later.”

Zhang Yuxi argued with dissatisfaction, "He treated me very well, otherwise he wouldn't have given up the 50 million yuan penalty for breach of contract. Besides, he also helped me get revenge and made Hu Rui resign voluntarily."

"He's going to fire Hu Rui?" Hua Ling was immediately overjoyed, gloating, "Is it true? Will Wu Mengting agree?" "He said so, so it must be true. After all, you made a scene at the company today, almost got into a fight with Hu Rui, and now everyone in the company knows that Hu Rui violated regulations and ruined two of my endorsements. The company has to take a stand."

"Good, good, good. Hu Rui, that bitch, finally got what she deserved. If Chen Feng really fires her, then he'll be a fair boss."

“He did this mainly for my sake,” Zhang Yuxi emphasized.

Hua Ling shook her head and said, "Don't be silly. If he really cared about you, why didn't he tell you last time that he wanted Hu Rui promoted and given a raise? He really made me furious, otherwise I wouldn't have had the courage to cause trouble today. If I didn't vent my anger, I would definitely lose several years of my life."

Zhang Yuxi took a deep breath and resisted the urge to have a big fight with her. After all, she knew that the most urgent thing was to terminate the contract and sign with Maiteng Interactive Entertainment so that she could get the 20 million yuan signing bonus.

Both of these matters require the assistance of Hua Ling, a seasoned agent.

At this point, having a big argument with Hua Ling would not do her any good.

“I’m quite satisfied with his handling of the situation. Unfortunately, my actions today have left me with no way out. So, you need to come back to Xiuzhou as soon as possible and terminate your contract with Fengmang Film and Television.”

"I understand. I'll book my flight back to Xiuzhou later."

"Okay, I'll tell Xiaoju right away and have her book you a flight back on the next available flight."

"Well, so be it."

After Zhang Yuxi finished speaking, she hung up the phone immediately, and then tears started flowing uncontrollably again.

Hua Ling, the agent, prioritizes profit above all else and doesn't care about her feelings or emotions at all. She has no idea about the emotional entanglement between her and Chen Feng.

……

After ending his call with Zhang Yuxi, Chen Feng sent a WeChat message to Sun Xiaorui and Ren Ziyu, informing them that if Zhang Yuxi returned to the company to terminate her contract, he would agree to her request and waive the penalty for breach of contract.

Both of them replied quickly.

Ren Ziyu even sent a voice message asking: "Are you serious? You're not even willing to pay the 50 million yuan breach of contract fee?"

Chen Feng also replied via voice message: "Yes, it's a form of compensation from the company. Let's part ways amicably."

After Ren Ziyu posted a "Boss is so generous!" emoji, she didn't say anything more.

……

The next day, it rained heavily outside, so Chen Feng did his morning exercise at home.

I ate breakfast with Sun Xiaorui. Wu Mengting must have stayed up late last night and hadn't gotten up yet.

After Sun Xiaorui went to work, Chen Feng drove to Yang Ziying's place.

The two places are very close; the car arrived at her house in less than ten minutes.

In the villa's living room, Yang Ziying clung to him affectionately, refusing to let go. Chen Feng simply picked her up in a princess carry, and amidst her giggles, the two sat down on the sofa together.

It's quite rare to see her like this, acting like a mischievous young girl.

After chatting for a while, Yang Ziying boasted, "I contacted Zhang Keping last night, and he said he would think about it. Then he sent me a WeChat message early this morning, saying that I could come to Xiuzhou to give it a try. He has already accepted your invitation."

Chen Feng was somewhat surprised: "Really? He just agreed like that? I haven't even told him yet."

Yang Ziying laughed and said, "You don't seem to realize your current status in the entertainment industry, nor do you realize the appeal of Fengmang Film and Television Company to industry professionals."

Hearing her say that, Chen Feng couldn't help but smile and nodded, saying, "Okay, I guess I haven't quite figured out my place with the company yet. I'm a big shot in the entertainment industry now."

Yang Ziying seemed very happy, giggling and nodding, "Yes, you are a big shot in the entertainment industry. Fengmang Film and Television is the most popular entertainment company. So why would Zhang Keping refuse? He is currently unemployed, and you promised him at least a million-dollar annual salary. Moreover, he would be offered the position of manager of the artist department right away. As long as he still has ambition, he won't refuse. Besides, I personally called to invite him, which is giving him plenty of face."

Chen Feng nodded with a smile: "That's true. For a top star like you to personally invite him is a real honor for him. Has he said when he'll be coming?"

"You'll need someone from your company to handle that. I'll send you his contact information later."

"Send it to me now. I'll forward it to Ren Ziyu and have her handle it. Let's get this sorted out as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Yang Ziying then sent Zhang Keping's contact information to Chen Feng, who in turn forwarded it to Ren Ziyu and explained the reason.

Ren Ziyu was surprised that Chen Feng had found a successor so quickly, and that he would be Ren Xiaoxiao's full-time agent.

She certainly knew Ren Xiaoxiao and liked her very much. She was heartbroken for a long time when Ren Xiaoxiao passed away. She just didn't know much about Zhang Keping, but she figured that someone who had been Ren Xiaoxiao's manager for over ten years must have excellent abilities and character.

Therefore, Ren Ziyu did not reject Zhang Keping as a candidate and immediately agreed to go and liaise with Zhang Keping.

Ren Ziyu quickly contacted Zhang Keping, and after introducing herself, the two quickly arranged a time to meet.

Zhang Keping's flight arrived from Beijing this afternoon.

After settling this matter, Ren Ziyu leisurely called Hu Rui's office to invite her to come over for a talk.

Everyone has only been at work for a short time now.

Hu Rui originally wanted to take the day off, after all, Hualing had caused such a commotion yesterday, and she planned to lay low for a while.

But remembering Wu Mengting's warning that she had a problem with her work attitude, was lazy and shirking her duties, and needed to correct it, she hesitated for a while before coming to work anyway.

Then, not long after I sat down in the office, I received this call from Ren Ziyu.

Ren Ziyu is, after all, the general manager, and given the incident she caused with Hualing yesterday, it's normal for them to talk to her.

So Hu Rui went.

Then, she calmly sat down in the chair opposite Ren Ziyu's desk and asked casually, "Mr. Ren, what do you need me for?"

Although she knew that Ren Ziyu should talk to her about yesterday's events, she certainly wouldn't bring it up herself.

Ren Ziyu looked at her and said seriously, "Hu Rui, I'm here today to formally announce your termination on behalf of our company."

"Dismissal?" Hu Rui was stunned, her eyes widened, and she questioned, "What do you mean? Are you going to fire me? You don't have that right."

Ren Ziyu's face darkened as he said, "Hu Rui, this is not my idea, but the boss Chen Feng's idea. He told me this to me personally last night."

"Impossible!" Hu Rui suddenly stood up, her face full of anger. "He personally recruited me, and I haven't done anything wrong. Why should he fire me?"

Ren Ziyu shook her head, her expression serious, and continued, "Your irregularities led to vicious competition between Zhang Yuxi and Zhang Jingwen, ruining two of Zhang Yuxi's endorsements and almost causing significant financial losses to the company. Furthermore, your frequent tardiness and lack of dedication to your work have caused widespread dissatisfaction among the company's artists. Therefore, the company has the right to terminate your employment. Of course, you've been with the company for almost two years; even if you haven't made any significant contributions, you've still put in considerable effort. The company has decided to offer you 10 months' salary as compensation. However, I suggest you resign voluntarily; that would be more dignified, and you'll still receive the 10 months' salary as compensation."

Hu Rui glared at Ren Ziyu and gritted her teeth, saying, "I don't believe the boss would fire me. I'm going to find General Manager Wu right now."

After saying that, Hu Rui left without looking back, deliberately slamming the door shut with a loud bang that many people heard.

Ren Ziyu's expression naturally turned sour upon seeing this. She immediately logged into the company's management system and restricted Hu Rui's access.

After leaving the general manager's office, Hu Rui immediately ran to Wu Mengting's office, but no one was there.

She could only take out her phone and call Wu Mengting. (End of Chapter)
