After the divorce, I started to transfer

After leaving Donghu Jinyuan, Chen Feng drove to Zhao Zixuan's place.

Zhao Zixuan has decided to start a company with Gong Huize. Gong Huize has been making formal preparations in the past two days and has already obtained the business license.

But this is only the first step. Next, relevant materials need to be prepared to apply for approval. Only after obtaining approval from the provincial economic and trade department can the business officially start operating.

This process usually takes more than a month, or even longer.

Currently, Gong Huize is busy with the approval process, as well as other trivial matters such as seal engraving and opening a company bank account.

As a result, Gong Huize has officially resigned from the financial company in Shanghai, and has also brought in a former colleague to form a professional management team with Zhao Zixuan.

Right now, it's mainly Gong Huize and that woman named Shi Huili who are busy, while Zhao Zixuan is quite relaxed. These past two days, she's either resting at home or going out shopping. Occasionally, she still runs into Gong Huize and Shi Huili.

Inside the villa, after a warm exchange, things calmed down, and Zhao Zixuan, slightly out of breath, said, "Huize plans to hold our first shareholders' meeting for Mingjian Venture Capital next Monday to formally sign the contract and then deposit the registered capital into the company account. Of course, it won't be all deposited at once; it can be paid in installments. The initial paid-in capital only needs to be no less than 20% of the registered capital. So, the two of us only need to come up with 1000 million first."

Chen Feng wiped his hands with a tissue and casually agreed, "Okay, I should be free next Monday. Just contact me then."

Zhao Zixuan was overjoyed to hear that Chen Feng had agreed so readily, and she took the initiative to hug him and kiss him.

Then, with a broad smile, she asked, "Aren't you afraid we'll lose out?"

Chen Feng smiled and said nonchalantly, "It's okay if we lose money."

Zhao Zixuan was genuinely touched upon hearing this and immediately said, "It definitely won't be a loss. The project that Huize mentioned about her cousin is excellent. I've looked into it specifically these past few days. Her cousin plans to establish a new electrical connector factory, using new technologies and manufacturing processes that can significantly reduce production costs while ensuring quality. Her cousin has experience, connections, and clients, and given the huge market for electrical connectors, this new factory will definitely have no shortage of business and profits."

"As long as you have confidence, that's enough."

As Chen Feng spoke, he stood up.

Zhao Zixuan asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to take a shower first, want to come along?"

"...No need, you go ahead and wash."

When Chen Feng finished showering and came out, Zhao Zixuan had actually put her clothes back on and was sitting on the sofa.

Chen Feng asked curiously, "Why are you dressed? Are you going out?"

Zhao Zixuan said reluctantly, "Hui Ze just contacted me. He knows you're here, so he wants to bring Shi Huili to meet you. Of course, he also wants to have a meal with you."

Chen Feng certainly didn't want to meet with Gong Huize and the others, but since they were about to become company partners, it wasn't realistic to avoid them. Otherwise, Zhao Zixuan would have definitely refused immediately.

"Tell me about this Shi Huili," Chen Feng said casually.

Zhao Zixuan introduced her, saying, "She's quite capable. She's almost forty years old this year, divorced with a child. She's been in the fund management industry for almost ten years and is a very senior investment manager with many successful cases of independently managed projects. I was very surprised that Huize was able to recruit her. However, the price is also very high. First of all, there's the promised million-dollar annual salary, plus 3% stock option dividends."

Chen Feng laughed and said, "If you can praise her like that, then this woman must be quite capable."

Zhao Zixuan also laughed and said, "Of course, she, Huize, and I were all in the same company back then. She is undoubtedly the most outstanding woman in our company. She came from humble beginnings and has managed to reach her current position, which is a concrete manifestation of her own abilities."

Chen Feng nodded and said, "Alright, I'll meet this heroine later."

Zhao Zixuan was a little unhappy to hear Chen Feng's praise and immediately retorted, "I only said that she has strong work ability and professional skills, but I didn't say that she is a heroine. How should I put it, she has a somewhat cold exterior but a warm heart. She has been divorced for more than ten years and has not remarried, but she is not short of male companions, you know. So, in her former workplace, her reputation is not very good."

After hearing what she said, Chen Feng suddenly lost interest in her.

Everyone knows that the financial world is chaotic, and Shi Huili has been divorced for more than ten years and has not remarried. On top of that, she has a bad reputation, so it goes without saying how promiscuous she is in private.

"ok, I get it."

Chen Feng understood Zhao Zixuan's meaning, though she didn't say it aloud. She was definitely worried that Chen Feng might be seduced by Shi Huili.

Shi Huili is almost forty years old, and Chen Feng has certainly had his share of good food, so he's confident he won't be seduced.

After Chen Feng finished getting dressed, Zhao Zixuan received a call informing her that Gong Huize and the other person had arrived at the entrance of the residential area.

After Zhao Zixuan, a resident, confirmed the information, Gong Huize arrived in her car with a Shanghai license plate shortly afterward, and Chen Feng finally met Shi Huili in person.

Judging by her appearance alone, Shi Huili is probably around thirty-five or thirty-six years old, which is not considered old in this era. On the contrary, she exudes the charm of a mature woman.

She was about 1.65 meters tall, with wavy hair, an oval face, fair skin, and a voluptuous figure. Her almond-shaped eyes were particularly alluring and captivating.

Overall, her figure is somewhat captivating, making her a favorite among many middle-aged men, yet she also possesses a somewhat aloof demeanor, creating a striking contrast.

No wonder Zhao Zixuan deliberately spoke ill of her behind her back before meeting Chen Feng.

Gong Huize immediately introduced Shi Huili to Chen Feng. Shi Huili generously reached out and shook hands with him, sincerely praising him, "You're so handsome, no wonder you won over our fairy Zhao."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Chen Feng accepted it calmly.

Then, Zhao Zixuan took the initiative to pull Shi Huili to sit down on the sofa.

Zhao Zixuan poured them both a cup of tea, then asked, "The approval materials have been submitted. How long do you estimate it will take to get approved at the earliest?"

Gong Huize said, "This requires going through procedures, and there's no need to find someone to help. It should be approved normally. It should take about half a month if things go quickly, and about forty days if things go slowly. Anyway, we don't need to rush. There's no point in rushing. Besides, my uncle's new factory needs time to be built, probably another two or three months. Before that, we can go and investigate the latest startup companies."

Zhao Zixuan followed up by asking, "So, do you have a goal yet?"

Shi Huili continued, "There's a drone parts factory in Ningbo that's been established for less than two years. It specializes in producing motors for drones. It used to be just a small workshop, but now it's grown into a factory with over a hundred employees and a research and development team. I think we should check it out."

Zhao Zixuan nodded and said, "That sounds good, it seems reliable. But how did you know that?"

Shi Huili smiled and said, "Don't forget, I'm from Tianzhou, which is very close to Yongzhou. I have relatives in Yongzhou who happen to have business dealings with the owner of this drone parts factory. Last time I went back to my hometown, I talked to my relatives about it and learned about this parts factory. I even had someone go and learn more about it. I found that this small factory has great potential. They have developed and produced their own small motor, which is very cost-effective and is their flagship product. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to expand from a small workshop with just a few people to a scale of more than a hundred people in less than two years."

Zhao Zixuan then asked, "Since this factory is doing so well, it must have plenty of money. It probably wouldn't be very willing to accept outside investment, right?"

Shi Huili smiled confidently and said, "Although their factory is profitable, their motor technology isn't actually that high-end in the industry. They specialize in supplying low-end motors to counterfeit and generic drones, the kind used in consumer and toy drones. So, their profit margin isn't actually very high, at least not as high as motor manufacturers that supply industrial or even military-grade drones. Moreover, the competition in this low-end supply market is extremely fierce. Their motors have a good price-performance ratio, but their market share in the low-end market is not high, and sales have even been declining in recent months, mainly due to price. To save costs, manufacturers of low-end drones prefer to purchase cheap but low-quality motors."

Zhao Zixuan continued, "Now that their sales are declining, they're willing to accept our investment?"

Shi Huili said, "We can help them recruit technical talent, strengthen their product research and development, and then develop mid-range products with high cost performance to compete in the mid-range market. If they continue to stay in the low-end market and do not change, they will only wait to die. Because the current low-end market does not care about product quality at all, only price. I think as long as we make such a offer, they have no reason to refuse."

From Shi Huili's words, one can see that she truly embodies the demeanor of a workplace elite.

Gong Huize clearly agreed with the project she had chosen, and then said, "I am also very optimistic about this motor factory project. Once our approval is granted, I think we can make it our first investment project."

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Zixuan nodded and said, "Since you all think it's a good idea, I won't object."

Gong Huize said happily, "Then it's settled. The three of us can go to Ningbo together to check out the factory in person."

These three women are truly role models of career women; they started talking about work as soon as they met.

Chen Feng, the only man present, couldn't get a word in edgewise and sat quietly to the side looking at his phone.

After the three women chatted about company matters for a while, Gong Huize finally turned her attention to Chen Feng and said to him, "Chen Feng, Zixuan told you, right? Next Monday, we will hold a company shareholders' meeting to officially sign the contract."

Chen Feng looked up at her, nodded, and said, "I said I'd go with Zixuan on Monday. By the way, where's the company office?"

Gong Huize replied, "Kaiyue Building, Room 1516. It's not far from here, about five or six kilometers away."

"Okay, Monday is over."

Gong Huize then asked, "Are you really planning to hand over all your shares to Zixuan for safekeeping?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zixuan said with some dissatisfaction, "Do you think I'm lying to you?"

Chen Feng nodded and said, "Yes, all my shares are held by Zixuan on my behalf. So, from now on, Zixuan will represent me. She is also the largest shareholder in the company, so you should respect her."

Gong Huize couldn't help but smirk and said with a smile, "How could I dare not respect her? Of course I would respect her. She is qualified to be the chairman of our company."

Zhao Zixuan rolled her eyes at her and said, "I don't want to be the chairman of the board, just give me a director position."

Gong Huize laughed and said, "Just one director? You're also a founder, you should at least be the president. Anyway, I'm definitely going to be the president. I can be the executive president, and you can be the CEO. Sister Li is the executive vice president."

Zhao Zixuan said, "I'll be the investment director and executive director."

"Executive Director? Sure." Gong Huize hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

"Then it's settled. We'll officially finalize these matters on Monday."

The three women then began discussing the company's rules, regulations, and structure, once again completely ignoring Chen Feng, the big boss.

This is what a career-driven woman is like.

Almost an hour passed, and it was already 11:30 in the morning, before the three women finally stopped their discussion.

Then, Gong Huize suggested that Chen Feng treat them to dinner, since Chen Feng was the big boss and the largest shareholder of their company.

Since they were all guests, and they were all women, and Chen Feng wasn't short of money, he naturally agreed.

The restaurant was Fumanlou, and Chen Feng hadn't been there for a while, so he really missed it.

Inside the private room, the four of them ordered their own dishes. Gong Huize said happily, "This place is clearly a long-established local restaurant. It's very popular, and it's full of locals. This time, we can finally eat authentic local food. Zixuan, did Chen Feng take you here before?"

Zhao Zixuan shook her head.

Gong Huize looked at Chen Feng with some surprise: "Haven't you brought her here to eat before?"

Chen Feng said irritably, "Isn't this normal? There are many places to eat here. Although this restaurant tastes good, it can't be said to be the best. Besides, Zixuan has only been here for a short time."

"Alright. But why do I feel like you don't really care about Zixuan?"

After saying this, Gong Huize burst into laughter, which earned him a roll of his eyes from Zhao Zixuan.

Shi Huili changed the subject, saying, "I've been to Xiuzhou a few times before, and I've always felt that there's nothing good to eat here. Those beggar's chicken and vinegar fish dishes are really just so-so. The noodles in those small shops are much better. I hope the food here won't disappoint me."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "I used to frequent this restaurant. The food is pretty good. You'll see when you try it later."

Shi Huili smiled and said, "Since you say it tastes good, it certainly won't disappoint me."

Gong Huize deliberately provoked him by asking, "Chen Feng, did you often bring women here to eat before?"

Chen Feng glanced at her, then ignored her and looked down at his phone.

Seeing this, Gong Huize stuck out his tongue awkwardly, no longer daring to provoke Chen Feng. He then turned to Zhao Zixuan and said, "Zixuan, Wenhe doesn't want to live here. Do you think I should break up with him?"

Zhao Zixuan said irritably, "This is your own business, why are you asking me?"

Gong Huize feigned sadness and said, "I've always considered you a sister. Besides, we're partners now, so isn't it normal for you to give me some advice?"

Zhao Zixuan said, "Then you and him can have a long-distance relationship for now. It's not too late to break up when you can't take it anymore."

Gong Huize said, somewhat speechless, "So you're saying we'll break up sooner or later, right?"

"Otherwise what?" Zhao Zixuan looked puzzled. "You asked me if I should break up with him, but deep down you've already decided to break up with him, haven't you?"

"You're really boring!" Gong Huize was clearly hit where it hurt. He glared at her but didn't argue.

Shi Huili laughed and said, "Long-distance relationships are indeed hard to last. But Wenhe is actually quite outstanding. Huize, are you really planning to break up with him?"

Gong Huize said helplessly, "It's not that I want to break up, but that he doesn't want to come here with me to develop our business, and he doesn't support my entrepreneurial endeavors. This makes me very disappointed."

Zhao Zixuan bluntly exposed him: "Alright. From the moment you decided to start a business here, you should have already planned to break up with him. Don't be so manipulative, pushing all the blame onto him." (End of Chapter)
