After the divorce, I started to transfer

After receiving financial support from Chen Feng, Zhao Zixuan immediately contacted Gong Huize and asked her to come over to discuss the details further.

The two lived not far apart, only about a ten-minute drive apart.

Upon entering Zhao Zixuan's villa, Gong Huize felt a pang of envy. After all, the villa was far more luxurious than her small apartment. She couldn't help but ask, "Is this house also rented?"

Zhao Zixuan answered casually, "I bought it."

"You bought it?" Gong Huize's eyes widened slightly.

She knew about Zhao Zixuan's family situation: her father was a civil servant, and her mother was a full-time housewife. Of the three, Zhao Zixuan was the highest earner, but even that was only a million yuan a year at most, and she had already resigned. This villa, however, was clearly worth tens of millions.

Zhao Zixuan explained, "Chen Feng bought it, but I chose it."

Upon hearing this, Gong Huize felt even more heartbroken and asked, "Did Chen Feng buy this place specifically for you to live in?"

"Yeah, I guess so." Zhao Zixuan nodded.

Seeing her nonchalant demeanor, Gong Huize knew she was deliberately "pretending," so he couldn't help but ask, "He wouldn't have just given you this house, would he? Is the property deed in your name?"

Upon being asked this, Zhao Zixuan could no longer pretend. She rolled her eyes at her and said, "This house costs nearly thirty million. Even if he wanted to give it to me, I wouldn't take it."

Gong Huize curled his lip but did not refute. He just smiled and agreed, "That's true. You're not the kind of person who's vain or likes to take advantage. If you accept this house from him, it's the same as being kept by him."

The word "sugar baby" sounded rather harsh, and Zhao Zixuan couldn't help but roll her eyes at her again, saying irritably, "Alright, let's talk about the company's preparations. I already mentioned on the phone that Chen Feng is willing to contribute 4000 million, which I will hold on his behalf. So, adding my personal 1000 million, the total is 5000 million. I hope to get 49% of the shares."

Zhao Zixuan stated her demands directly, without exchanging pleasantries with Gong Huize.

“No way.” Gong Huize refused outright. “Personally, I can only give you a maximum of 6% of the shares, and Chen Feng can only give you a maximum of 35%, so the two of you together can only give you a maximum of 41%.”

"I invested ten million, how could I only get 6%?" Zhao Zixuan was very dissatisfied.

Gong Huize calmly said, "We've been colleagues for so long, we know each other's abilities. You're quite professional in data collection and analysis, but you've never actually managed an investment project, let alone had any successful investment cases. However, since you have a finance background, I can give you an extra 1% of the shares. Your 10 million will give you a maximum of 5% of the shares. The other three investors I found, I also calculated for them 5% of the shares based on 10 million."

Zhao Zixuan's eyes darted around, and she asked, "According to your calculations, the three investors you found invested a total of 30 million, which together only gives them 15% of the shares. Chen Feng and I together only have 41%. That's only 56% of the shares in total. Does that mean the remaining 44% belongs to you?"

Gong Huize said in a matter-of-fact manner, "I will contribute 1000 million for 35% of the shares, and the remaining 9% will be company stock options."

Zhao Zixuan laughed in anger: "Are you Buffett or Soros? You want 35% of the shares for ten million? Where do you get the nerve?"

Gong Huize wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled slightly and said confidently, "After the company was established, my first investment project was Dongdian Electric. As you know, in recent years, with the booming sales of electric vehicles, the demand for electrical connectors has been increasing day by day. Dongdian Electric's electrical connectors have already occupied almost one-third of the domestic market share. Now Dongdian Electric wants to expand production and develop new electrical connectors to occupy more market share, so it is accepting external investment with restrictions. And I have the channels and qualifications for this. Putting everything else aside, as long as the investment is successful, the cost should be recovered within the next five years, or even just two or three years."

Zhao Zixuan frowned and asked, "Do you have connections with Dongdian Electric?"

Gong Huize smiled smugly and nodded, "Of course. The owner of Dongdian Electric is my uncle."

"Your uncle? Your biological uncle?" Zhao Zixuan looked at her with some suspicion.

Zhao Zixuan had known her for so long and knew that she had an uncle, but it seemed that he was a teacher, not a company owner.

Upon seeing this, Gong Huize had no choice but to explain, "He is my maternal uncle, my mother's cousin."

Zhao Zixuan said speechlessly, "A cousin is a cousin, why call him uncle?"

Gong Huize retorted, "Isn't a cousin an uncle?"

Zhao Zixuan waved her hand and said, "Alright. Even if what you said is true, it's not like I'm going to let you take an extra 30% of the shares for nothing. According to your calculation, that's worth 6000 million."

Gong Huize said confidently, "My personal investment acumen and ability are worth at least 10% of the shares. You agree with that, right?"

Zhao Zixuan pouted and said, "Let's say it's 10%, but what about the remaining 20%?"

"First, there's the Dongdian Electric project, which you wouldn't be qualified to invest in without my connections. This project has a very high profit margin; you can break even in as little as two years, and then it's pure profit. Second, I have another project that I'm negotiating, which also involves my family connections. So, with these two ready-made, sure-fire projects combined, I think it's reasonable to take an extra 20%."

“I don’t think this is reasonable,” Zhao Zixuan retorted directly. “If you really intend to get me to join you in starting a business, you have to give Chen Feng and me basic respect. These two projects you mentioned haven’t even been evaluated yet, and you’re already asking for so many more shares. Do you think we investors are fools? Unless you can specify in the contract that these two projects will definitely make a profit in the future, I will never agree to it.”

After a slight hesitation, Gong Huize said, "Alright, let's include it in the contract that I guarantee these two existing investment projects will recoup their costs within five years. Once they do, my 35% stake will automatically take effect."

"What if we don't break even within five years?" Zhao Zixuan argued.

"Then of course I don't want that 20% stake; we shareholders can split it equally."

"How could this be divided equally? It must be allocated according to share ratio, and you will be excluded."

"...You really are quite shrewd," Gong Huize said irritably.

"You're not as shrewd as me. You think you can get something for nothing?" Zhao Zixuan retorted bluntly.

"I also put in real money, okay?" Gong Huize said indignantly.

"We'll talk about it when you take it out," Zhao Zixuan said, pouting.

"Okay, you still have a deep misunderstanding about me and don't have a deep understanding of my investment capabilities. With these two ready-made good projects, taking 10% of each will really be a good deal for you."

"Alright, we've passed this one. Let's discuss the other matters one by one."

Zhao Zixuan took out her phone, opened the notes app, and began discussing things with Gong Huize one by one, completely in a businesslike manner.

They continued their discussion until dinner time, when both of them felt hungry.

Zhao Zixuan stood up and said, "Let's go eat seafood noodles, it's on me."

Gong Huize shook his head and said listlessly, "You should become a negotiation expert. You're driving me crazy. You're too serious."

"With your level of resilience, I'm starting to doubt whether you can handle being the company's general manager."

Upon hearing this, Gong Huize immediately perked up, stood up, and said, "I can definitely handle it, don't worry."

"Then you'd better get moving tomorrow and register the company as soon as possible."

"Isn't it unnecessary to rush like this?"

"Speed ​​is of the essence. You've already identified those two ready-made investment projects, so the company should be established first, right?"

"Okay, I'll register the company tomorrow."

"Let's go."

Zhao Zixuan glanced at her sideways and walked towards the door first, with Gong Huize quickly following behind.

A few minutes later, the two were sitting in a seafood noodle restaurant.

“I ate here with Chen Feng last time, and it was delicious,” Zhao Zixuan said.

"If you say it's delicious, then it must be delicious." Gong Huize was very accommodating.

Ultimately, she still has to support Zhao Zixuan for now. Even after the company is established and she becomes the general manager, she will still have to support Zhao Zixuan. After all, she and Chen Feng have the most shares combined.

Soon, two bowls of noodles were served, and the two of them started eating together.

"It's really delicious, the taste is great, it seems even better than the one I had in Shanghai," Gong Huize commented while eating.

Zhao Zixuan nodded, "This place is indeed very authentic, and the seafood is especially fresh." Just as the two were enjoying their meal, the sound of someone taking a picture came from nearby. They both looked over and saw a bespectacled man in his twenties across the table putting away his phone.

Gong Huize immediately glared at him and said angrily, "Did you just take pictures of us? Delete them!"

The bespectacled man shook his head and denied it: "No. I was just tapping the price list on the wall."

"I don't believe you! Show me your phone." Gong Huize stood up abruptly and stood aggressively in front of the bespectacled man.

The bespectacled man was a little nervous because he didn't expect Gong Huize to be so serious, but he still said firmly, "What right do you have to look at my phone?"

"Just because you're suspected of taking photos of us without our consent. If you won't show me the photos on your phone, it means you're guilty. I'll count to three, and if you still don't agree, I'll call the police right away."

With a cold face, Gong Huize picked up his phone and began counting: "3, 2..."

"Okay, okay, it's my fault." Faced with the aggressive Gong Huize, the bespectacled man immediately backed down and explained with an embarrassed look, "I did take a picture of you just now. It's just that you two are too beautiful, I couldn't help myself and took a picture. I'm sorry, I'll delete it right away."

The bespectacled man took out his phone, opened the photo album, deleted the photos he had just taken, and then showed them to Gong Huize: "Look, I've already deleted them."

Gong Huize snatched his phone away; it was a Xiaomi phone. Although she had always used an Apple phone, she was familiar with Xiaomi phones and skillfully opened the cloud photo album, where, sure enough, there were backups.

"What is this?" Gong Huize opened the photos in the cloud album to show him, and asked coldly.

"I...I forgot about the cloud photo album. I'm sorry, I'll delete it right away."

"You don't need to delete it."

Gong Huize dodged his hand and deleted the photos herself. Then, before anyone could react, she picked up her phone and smashed it on the ground, shattering the screen, and then stomped on it hard.

She was wearing flat leather shoes with hard soles. With a few stomps, the phone's screen shattered into pieces, and even the back cover was flattened.

"What the hell..."

The bespectacled man realized what was happening, his eyes immediately turned red, and he stood up, pointing at Gong Huize, looking like he was about to resort to violence.

Fortunately, the other party still had some sense and knew that if he made a move, he would be in big trouble. So he could only glare angrily at Gong Huize with red eyes.

Gong Huize, however, appeared arrogant and fearless, coldly mocking, "What? You think you're wronged? If you hadn't tried to be clever and had obediently deleted all the photos, I wouldn't have smashed your phone. If you have the guts, hit me now, and I'll respect you as a man. Otherwise, call the police and let them handle it."

The bespectacled man's face flushed red and then turned pale; he was furious with her. He didn't dare lay a hand on Gong Huize, and he didn't dare call the police either. The whole thing started because he had secretly taken photos, denied it after being discovered, then had to admit it, and then tried to be clever by deleting the photos.

In short, he was in the wrong in this matter. The situation escalated, and once the short video was released that night, the narrative took hold, and he, this "lower-class man," was completely ruined.

"I'm waiting for you to call the police."

After saying this, Gong Huize leisurely returned to his original seat and resumed eating his noodles.

The bespectacled man stood there, looking utterly dejected, his hands clenched tightly. After a while, he squatted down, picked up his now-worthless phone, and sheepishly sat back down, continuing to eat his noodles. He quickly finished his meal in less than two minutes and then swiftly left.

Seeing this, many of the diners around couldn't help but chuckle.

Seeing this, Zhao Zixuan couldn't help but ask Gong Huize, "Weren't you worried he would hit you just now?"

Gong Huize smiled confidently and said, "This guy looks like a cowardly and sleazy person. Besides, there are so many people in the store, and there are also surveillance cameras. As long as he has a brain, he won't hurt me. In addition, don't forget that I have studied Taekwondo. If we really fight, this guy may not be my match. I will definitely beat him so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him."

Zhao Zixuan shook her head, somewhat disagreeing with her approach, and said, "Next time you encounter something like this, I think you shouldn't be so arrogant. I was really worried he would hit you. You understand the principle of 'a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall,' there's no need to argue with a stranger."

Gong Huize said, "The main problem is that this guy is too despicable! He treated me like an idiot and only deleted the photos from the album, but actually backed them up in the cloud album. The thought that he secretly took photos of us and kept them, and that he definitely wouldn't do anything good, makes me feel disgusted. That's why I smashed his phone, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get rid of this anger."

Hearing what she said, Zhao Zixuan also felt a little nauseous and couldn't even eat her noodles anymore.

"Honestly, everything was fine until this happened."

"It's all because you're too beautiful. You should go out less often in the future." Although this is a compliment, it is also the truth.

"I think the main problem is that you're dressed too revealingly today," Zhao Zixuan said somewhat seriously.

Gong Huize wore a V-neck long-sleeved top today, revealing quite a bit of her chest. Paired with an 18k platinum necklace, it made her chest appear even fuller and deeper, which was indeed very attractive to men.

Gong Huize looked down at herself and said helplessly, "What do you mean by 'exposing' me? As long as those men have lustful intentions, it's the same even if I'm completely covered up. You can't blame us women."

Zhao Zixuan stated matter-of-factly, "You should be more careful in the future."

Gong Huize didn't want to compete with Zhao Zixuan anymore, so he buried his head in his noodles.

After a while, Gong Huize suddenly suggested, "Why don't you tell Chen Feng what happened earlier, and say that you're afraid that the man might take revenge on us outside, so ask him to come over and be our protector?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zixuan immediately thought it was a good idea and nodded, saying, "Okay, then I'll talk to him about it."

Zhao Zixuan picked up her phone and sent Chen Feng a long message, recounting what had just happened. Then, following Gong Huize's advice, she explained that she was afraid the bespectacled man was waiting outside, waiting for a chance to retaliate, and hoped Chen Feng could come over to give them courage. This was a reasonable concern, not just something she imagined.

Chen Feng had just finished eating when he received this message from Zhao Zixuan. After reading it, Chen Feng felt somewhat sorry for the man. All he did was take a picture in the noodle shop; it wasn't anything shameful, yet he was verbally abused, humiliated, and had his phone smashed. That Gong Huize was definitely not someone to be trifled with! She's ruthless!

Although Chen Feng didn't think the bespectacled man would seek revenge, he agreed to act as their protector just to be safe.

After telling Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui, Chen Feng drove over.

In less than ten minutes, Chen Feng stood in front of them.

"Have you finished eating? Let's go," Chen Feng said, gesturing to them.

Gong Huize came up with a grin and grabbed his arm, saying, "Thank you so much, otherwise I really wouldn't have dared to leave this door."

"Alright, alright." Zhao Zixuan stepped forward and rudely pushed away Chen Feng's hand that was being held by her. "You just said you weren't afraid, stop pretending to be a little white rabbit."

Gong Huize defended himself, saying, "I was just saying it; actually, I was terrified."

Zhao Zixuan ignored her and pulled Chen Feng's hand to walk outside.

Gong Hui-ze made a face at Zhao Zixuan's back in dissatisfaction before following her out.

"Will you be sent straight back?" Chen Feng asked.

Gong Huize said, "It's rare for the three of us to be together, so why don't we go for a walk first, just to digest our food?"

Zhao Zixuan rarely went shopping with Chen Feng, so she immediately agreed: "Then let's go shopping first."

Seeing this, Chen Feng let them have their way.

This was a bustling commercial street lined with all sorts of shops, and the two women were bustling about, full of energy. As for the bespectacled man they were worried about, he never appeared.

Chen Feng was quite good-natured; he accompanied them shopping for over two hours, until almost 10 p.m., before ending the shopping trip.

At Zhao Zixuan's strong suggestion, Gong Huize's objections were ignored. Chen Feng drove Gong Huize back to her residence and kicked her out of the car amidst her somewhat resentful gaze.

Then, Chen Feng drove Zhao Zixuan to where she parked her car and let her drive home by herself.

Zhao Zixuan wanted Chen Feng to go back with her and stay at her place that night, but Chen Feng refused, saying that his girlfriend Wu Mengting was waiting for him at home and that it was already arranged.

Chen Feng said this intentionally, of course, to prevent Zhao Zixuan from taking advantage of him. A proper refusal and "reminder" were necessary. (End of Chapter)
