After the divorce, I started to transfer

Wu Mengting had just woken up when she saw that it was Hu Rui calling. Having been mentally prepared, she answered the phone quickly.

"Mr. Wu, the company is going to fire me. Are you aware of this?" Hu Rui asked bluntly.

"I know," Wu Mengting replied calmly.

"Then...then why didn't you stop me? I'm one of your people. I was targeting Zhang Yuxi to get revenge for you."

Hu Rui was both angry and aggrieved, and she was even more dissatisfied that Wu Mengting had not protected her.

"Yesterday, Zhang Yuxi's agent had a huge argument with you at the company, and the whole company knew about it. The boss was furious. Then, he realized that you had indeed violated regulations regarding Zhang Yuxi's endorsement deal. In addition, you're not serious about your work, you're late for work and leave early, and we can't reach you after get off work. Many artists have complained to me about this issue. So, the boss decided to have you resign voluntarily. Through my efforts, I secured 10 months' salary compensation for you, which is about 70 yuan. Furthermore, if you want to continue working as an agent, with your work experience in our company, other companies will definitely want you."

Wu Mengting's words were calm but also ruthless. Hu Rui was naturally dissatisfied and said in a sorrowful voice, "President Wu, I'm one of your people. I only targeted Zhang Yuxi to avenge you. Otherwise, I have no grudge against her, so why would I do that? Now the boss wants to use me as an example, which is obviously to avenge Zhang Yuxi. To put it bluntly, even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. If I'm fired, the whole company will only think that you couldn't protect me, and it's you who will lose face."

Wu Mengting knew, of course, that there was some truth to what she said, but she also understood that she was trying to sow discord.

“I had no choice,” Wu Mengting said bluntly. “After all, he is the boss, and you did make a mistake. You weren’t serious about your work, and after yesterday’s incident, keeping you in the company would not be good for the harmonious atmosphere. So, he decided to let you resign voluntarily and gave you sufficient compensation.”

"So... I have to leave?" Hu Rui gritted her teeth secretly, filled with resentment.

Wu Mengting makes it sound so easy; she could go work for other companies, but none of them offer the same good benefits and easy work as Fengmang Film & Television.
More importantly, if other companies knew she had been fired by Fengmang Films, how could they possibly still want her? Let alone keep her as a manager and give her a million-dollar annual salary.

“There’s nothing I can do about it. But don’t worry, apart from us, everyone will just think you resigned voluntarily. That will actually make you seem very responsible. When you go to work for another company, no one will gossip about you. Also, if you continue to work as an agent in the future, as long as there are suitable roles in my projects, I will give your artists a fair chance to compete.”

Hu Rui was initially full of resentment towards Wu Mengting, but upon hearing Wu Mengting's promise, her eyes lit up and she felt much better.

As an artist agent, isn't the most important thing to have access to film and television resources?

As a top producer and screenwriter in the industry, Wu Mengting has access to top-tier film and television resources. Even a few minor roles that slip through her fingers are highly sought after.

With Wu Mengting's promise, even if she was destined to leave Fengmang Film and Television, she still had to maintain this familial bond with Wu Mengting.

"Mr. Wu, you said it yourself, I took it seriously," Hu Rui said immediately and solemnly.

"Of course, I mean what I say. From now on, I'll definitely take care of any artists you manage. But don't expect me to give them special treatment; I'll be happy to give them a fair chance to compete. Also, we can't give important roles to artists outside the company unless there are special circumstances. You should understand that, right?"

"I understand, I understand," Hu Rui quickly replied. "As long as you can give my artists a fair chance to compete in the future, I understand that perfectly well."

"Okay, I wish you success in finding a new company and all the best in your work."

"Ah... okay, thank you... Mr. Wu, I really hate to part with you."

Wu Mengting felt a chill and quickly said, "Alright, you'd better behave yourself from now on. Don't be lazy at the new company. You're still young, it's the age to strive, don't think about giving up so early."

"...I understand, thank you."

"Okay, that's all then, bye-bye."

After Wu Mengting finished speaking, she hung up the phone immediately. In truth, she didn't value Hu Rui that much; she had only taken care of Hu Rui before because Hu Rui was good at flattering and could be her henchman.

When Hu Rui saw Wu Mengting hang up on her, she stood speechless for a long time, holding her phone, before sitting down in a chair with a dejected expression.

Finally, she sighed, opened her computer document, and began writing her resignation letter.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yuxi, Hua Ling, along with their hired lawyer and assistant, a total of four people, arrived at Fengmang Film and Television Company.

Before coming here, Hualing had already contacted Ren Ziyu and told her about terminating the contract.

So, after arriving, they went straight to Ren Ziyu's office.

After the two parties met, Ren Ziyu notified the company's legal and human resources managers.

There were too many people, so everyone went to the conference room together.

After spending about an hour in the conference room, Zhang Yuxi finally signed the termination agreement, officially announcing her parting ways with Fengmang Film and Television Company.

"Mr. Ren, thank you very much."

Hua Ling shook hands with Ren Ziyu with a grateful expression.

"You're welcome." Ren Ziyu's expression was neither cold nor indifferent; he gave her a brief squeeze and then released her.

However, Ren Ziyu took the initiative to shake hands with Zhang Yuxi, and said with a smile, "Yuxi, I wish you great success and a bright future."

Zhang Yuxi was somewhat flattered and quickly thanked him, "Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Ren. I also wish you great success and great wealth in the future."

"Haha, thank you. Then I wish us both a bright future."

"haha, yes."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Zhang Yuxi took her leave.

When Ren Ziyu returned to her office, she found Hu Rui's resignation letter on the company system, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

It was a pity that Zhang Yuxi, her cash cow, was gone, but since it wasn't her money she had lost, Ren Ziyu wasn't heartbroken. On the contrary, it was Hu Rui, who disrespected her, who left, which truly made her feel relieved and happy.

Ren Ziyu immediately instructed the human resources department to follow up and process Hu Rui's resignation as soon as possible.

……

Chen Feng was with Yang Ziying, and the two chatted while watching TV.

Around 10 a.m., Zhao Zixuan suddenly called.

Chen Feng couldn't very well refuse to answer, so he got up and told Yang Ziying, "I need to take this call," and then walked to the side to answer it.

"Is there something you need?" Chen Feng asked in his hometown dialect.

Zhao Zixuan immediately replied in her hometown dialect, "Did you see the message I sent you this morning? You didn't reply to me."

Chen Feng could only say, "I had something to do this morning and haven't looked at it yet. Is there anything urgent?"

When Zhao Zixuan heard this, she felt a little resentful, but she couldn't say anything because Chen Feng had always been like this, and besides, she needed his help this time.

Zhao Zixuan didn't waste any time and got straight to the point: "Gong Huize is planning to start a venture capital company. I really admire her investment acumen and business acumen, after all, we've worked together for so long. She has a history of very successful investments. So, I'm very optimistic about her starting a venture capital company in Xiuzhou this time, and I've decided to work with her. Her business plan is ready, and I've sent it to you. Take a look when you have time, and then give me your advice as soon as possible."

Chen Feng asked in surprise, "You've made up with her?"

Zhao Zixuan said, "We used to be best friends, but our relationship faded because of some misunderstandings. Now that we've cleared up the misunderstandings, we even plan to start a business together in Xiuzhou. We can definitely become good friends again."

Chen Feng didn't quite understand the friendship between her and Gong Huize, but she was an adult and knew what she was doing, so Chen Feng didn't bother to care.

So Chen Feng said, "I understand. It wouldn't be bad for you two to keep each other company."

Zhao Zixuan urged again, "Take a look at her proposal as soon as possible. If you think it's suitable, I hope you can support it."

Zhao Zixuan was very direct and expressed her desire for Chen Feng's support.

Chen Feng understood this long ago, otherwise why would he have shown him a business plan?

"Okay, I understand. I'll check it in a bit."

"Okay, that's settled then. Get back to me as soon as you've finished reading it."

"okay."

……

After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng returned to the sofa, and Yang Ziying asked with a smile, "I just heard you speaking your hometown dialect, it was quite interesting. Who were you talking to? Your family?"

"No, it's a classmate."

"Oh."

Yang Ziying didn't ask any more questions.

Chen Feng picked up his phone, found the electronic document sent by Zhao Zixuan, and opened it to read.

It has more than thirty pages in total, written like a thesis, and it seems that a lot of thought was put into it.

Chen Feng skimmed through the preface and other similar sections, only looking at the core parts: the team, financial management, investment goals, and strategies.

Chen Feng wasn't a professional, but after reading it, he felt that the other person's writing was very professional.

Overall, I'm quite satisfied with this proposal.

However, a business plan is just a business plan; when it comes to making real investments, foresight is paramount. If they could land a unicorn company like Douyin, that would be a huge windfall. Of course, the business plan also states that only 1 million in initial capital is needed, which shouldn't be solely Chen Feng's responsibility. For him, it's a small matter; investing tens of millions wouldn't be a problem. He could just consider it finding Zhao Zixuan a job so she wouldn't bother him all the time.

"What are you looking at?"

Yang Ziying, who was standing next to Chen Feng, noticed that he was staring at his phone and came over to ask him something.

Chen Feng generously handed his phone to her and said, "It's a business plan from a venture capital firm. They want me to invest. Let me take a look."

"Venture capital firms?" Yang Ziying smiled and said, "I don't know much about these. What do they mainly do?"

Chen Feng explained, "It's a venture capital firm that invests in teams that have just started a business or haven't even started one yet, gets shares, and waits for these startups to grow and eventually go public, and then makes money."

Yang Ziying nodded and said, "Now that you mention it, I understand. You mean angel investment? I know."

"Pretty much, actually I don't really understand it either. Anyway, it's about investing in the future. For example, those who invested in Facebook and Google back then are making a fortune now."

"That's true. However, it's not that easy to invest in, and the process takes a long time."

"It definitely depends on vision and luck."

"So, are you planning to invest in this company?"

"talk later."

Chen Feng spent about ten minutes reading through the proposal and then put it aside.

Chen Feng had originally planned to stay at Yang Ziying's place for lunch, but he received a message from Liu Ying containing a short video of his daughter eating. This made Chen Feng change his mind immediately, and he said to Yang Ziying, "I haven't seen my daughter for a few days. She misses me, so I have to go see her."

Chen Feng had already told her that he already had a child, and Yang Ziying was now pregnant as well. So there was no need to hide it.

After a moment of stunned silence, Yang Ziying said with a helpless expression, "Do you have a picture of your daughter? I'd like to see it."

Chen Feng then showed Liu Ying the video of them eating.

Yang Ziying's eyes lit up immediately, and she said with envy and admiration, "So cute! How can your daughter be so cute? She looks a lot like you, she's really beautiful. It makes me want to have a daughter too."

"My daughter is doing well." Chen Feng couldn't help but smile.

"So, would you prefer me to have a daughter or a son?" Yang Ziying asked, seemingly concerned.

"I'm fine with either. Whether it's a son or a daughter, as long as they're my children, I'll love them."

Yang Ziying rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly, "Get lost. Of course it's your child."

“I didn’t say it wasn’t my child.” Chen Feng hugged her and kissed her on the cheek.

"I won't compete with your daughter for your affections, you can go."

"it is good."

Chen Feng kissed her again before getting up and leaving.

A dozen minutes later, Chen Feng arrived at Bibo Garden and met his beloved daughter and son.

Liu Ying and Hong Xiaodan now basically take care of the child together, and the two siblings play together almost every day.

After not seeing him for a few days, his daughter was not at all unfamiliar with him. After all, she had started to grow up and was crawling around very well on the ground. She did not object to Chen Feng holding her.

As for his son, Chen Feng put him aside for the time being.

Chen Feng played with his daughter on the crawling mat for almost half an hour until she pooped and needed to be washed and changed. Only then did he have to give up and go to Hong Xiaodan's play area next door.

"Let's eat first."

Hong Xiaodan warmly served the two of them food, and then happily sat down next to Chen Feng.

She still has two nannies: one to help with housework and cooking, and the other to help take care of the children.

"Are you two still staying at home every day?"

Chen Feng asked casually while eating.

"Of course not, we go shopping every two or three days at most. Sometimes we bring the kids along, sometimes it's just the two of us."

"That's good. Otherwise, I was really worried you'd get bored."

Hong Xiaodan said, "Sometimes it is indeed a bit boring. If you could spend more time with us, that would be great."

Chen Feng thought to himself, "Where would I find so much time? Besides, I can't be in two places at once."

"I'll try my best," was all Chen Feng could say.

"Okay." Hong Xiaodan immediately perked up again.

She was easily satisfied. After all, she had "obtained her position illegitimately," and her son had taken her surname, so she couldn't ask too much of Chen Feng.

After the two finished eating, Hong Xiaodan enthusiastically invited him to the bedroom to look at the new clothes she had bought.

Chen Feng had no choice but to go with her.

Chen Feng left Bibo Garden at around 3:30 p.m.

Not long after I got home, Zhao Zixuan called again.

"Have you read the proposal? What do you think of it?" Zhao Zixuan was always so direct, especially after confirming her relationship with Chen Feng.

Chen Feng has started to get used to it, after all, he is also very direct.

"I've looked at it, and overall it seems alright. I also approve of her investment strategy. How much money do you want me to invest?"

"You think you'll just throw in whatever amount I tell you to?"

"Yeah, it's not a lot anyway. The proposal says that the initial investment is only 1 million, so I think I can invest a few tens of millions at most, right?"

"...If I didn't know you were really rich, I would have thought you were bragging."

"I never brag."

“Alright. Gong Huize can contribute ten million on her own, and she has also found several other investors, bringing the total to fifty million. I can also contribute ten million. That makes a total of sixty million, leaving a shortfall of forty million. You can take it all if you're willing.”

"Can you come up with ten million?" Chen Feng asked with some doubt.

Zhao Zixuan said, "Of course I don't have that much money on hand, but I can borrow it. Ten million is definitely not a problem."

"Alright then, since you're optimistic about this venture capital firm, I'll invest 40 million. If you're willing, I can let you hold the shares on my behalf."

"...You trust me that much?" Zhao Zixuan was somewhat touched.

"Of course I trust you. Besides, you know I'm not short of money. Forty million is nothing to me. Even if I lose it all, it won't matter. Of course, I trust your judgment. I shouldn't lose it."

Zhao Zixuan immediately said, "We definitely won't lose money. We're investing, not gambling. Besides, if we invest in just one out of ten projects and it's a good one, we won't lose money. You have to trust Gong Huize and my professional abilities. After the company is established, she and I will assemble a professional investment team, and we won't let you down."

"I definitely believe in your abilities, so just go for it. I'll definitely support you."

"……Thanks."

Zhao Zixuan was truly moved by Chen Feng this time, and tears welled up in her eyes.

This was a promise of 40 million yuan in real money, and she agreed to it based on just one sentence.

This trust and this high regard are unique to her; even her own parents never gave her that.

"Fool, why are you being so polite with me? It's settled then. Just let me know when you're ready to sign the contract and make the payment."

"Not so fast. But Huize and I will speed things up. How about the three of us meet and talk?"

"There's no need to meet in person. You can represent me and discuss it with Gong Huize."

"OK then."

Investing 40 million was nothing to him, especially since Chen Feng felt he might not lose money. At the same time, it would also allow him to improve Zhao Zixuan's feelings for him and increase her tolerance towards him—why not? (End of Chapter)
