After the divorce, I started to transfer

After Chen Feng and the two women watched TV in the living room for a while, less than an hour later, Huang Li sent Chen Feng information about various safes, including pictures and video descriptions; there were five types in total.

It includes two domestic brands and three foreign brands, with very detailed information.

However, if Chen Feng were to request a double-cabinet refrigerator of such a large size, it would generally require customization.

Chen Feng wanted something ready-made right away.

So Chen Feng asked Huang Li to contact these five brands to see if they had the best one in stock. If they did, they would buy the most expensive one. If not, they would have to buy a smaller, ready-made safe as a temporary solution.

Upon receiving the order, Huang Li immediately agreed and went to make the contact.

This time, Huang Li replied even faster. Just over ten minutes later, she sent him a message saying that a foreign brand had the product in stock, and that it was in a physical store in Xiuzhou.

It was said that a customer had originally ordered it and paid a deposit, but the customer later passed away unexpectedly, which made the safe unsellable.

If Chen Feng doesn't mind, they would be happy to resell the safe to him at a discount.

The brand's ethical standards are quite high, because the other party could have easily avoided informing them of this beforehand. After all, the unexpected death of a former customer is a taboo subject for many wealthy people.

Of course, businesses may also be worried that deliberately concealing something will be exposed later, which is why they disclose this information in advance.

Chen Feng, however, did not shy away from this matter. The original client who had passed away unexpectedly had only ordered this safe before his death and had not even had a chance to use it.

Needless to say, Chen Feng has also "died" before, so he is now quite calm about issues involving death.

So Chen Feng didn't hesitate much and said he could go to the store first and buy it if he liked it.

Soon Huang Li sent Chen Feng the specific address of the store, called Dibao Safes, and asked when he would be going so she could come with him.

Chen Feng checked the time; it was only 3 PM. He had nothing else to do at the moment, and the brand store's address wasn't too far, so he immediately said he could go there now.

Huang Li immediately said that she would go first.

Chen Feng stood up and told the two women about it, asking if they were interested in going together.

Wu Mengting shook her head and refused, saying that she had walked for half the morning and her legs were still sore, so she wouldn't go.

Sun Xiaorui said she could go with him and seemed very happy about it, since she could be alone with Chen Feng.

So Chen Feng took Sun Xiaorui out to look at the safe.

The brand store was located in Xiuzhou Building, about a 20-minute drive from where Chen Feng was. The two went straight to the store, where Huang Li had already arrived, though she had just arrived.

The store isn't very big, after all, space is extremely valuable here, and it's filled with all sorts of safes.

Because Chen Feng was a potential customer, and the safe he wanted to buy was the top-of-the-line custom-made model that was going to be a liability, the store manager personally received them.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Chen Feng declined the invitation to have coffee in the meeting room, stating directly that he wanted to see the safe in person first.

The store manager was pleased to see Chen Feng's decisiveness and immediately took Chen Feng and his group to see the actual product. However, it was not in the store, but in the warehouse, which was not far away, just over a kilometer away, and they arrived quickly by car.

The group soon spotted the large safe.

"This safe is 180 centimeters high, 1.2 meters wide, and 70 centimeters deep. It is classified as an extra-large bank vault and is designed for museums, banks, high-end collections, and other similar settings. It meets the highest European anti-theft standards and is UL certified."

The store manager enthusiastically introduced the product, but Chen Feng didn't listen carefully. He just looked at it from all angles, tapped it with his hand, and felt that it was indeed very sturdy. The style and appearance also looked good.

So Chen Feng didn't bother wasting time with the manager and asked directly, "How heavy is this?"

The manager immediately replied, "3 tons."

"How much was it originally? What discount did you get?"

"The original price for that customer's custom order was 580,000, but we're giving you a 20% discount, which is 464,000."

Chen Feng was slightly surprised by the price; it was indeed quite expensive. The safe alone was worth as much as a house in his hometown.

So Chen Feng looked at Huang Li beside him.

Huang Li understood his meaning, nodded slightly, and then began to haggle, saying, "Your 20% discount is too small. This safe is practically unused anyway. Wealthy customers generally wouldn't want this model, since the original customer's unexpected death is considered unlucky. I'm sure you've tried to sell it before, but nobody wanted it, right? Besides, when the original customer ordered this safe, he should have already paid you at least 30% of its value as a deposit, which is 174,000 yuan. So, 580,000 minus 174,000 yuan leaves a remaining price of 406,000 yuan, and that doesn't even include depreciation. You say this safe is new, but it's actually a used product. It's like a car; if you buy it today, drive it for only one day, and want to sell it tomorrow, it's a used car, and the price will be significantly reduced. Don't you think that makes sense?"

The manager found it difficult to refute Huang Li's words. Huang Li's argument was quite reasonable, and she even knew that the original customer had paid a 30% deposit. Furthermore, he had indeed tried to sell their brand of safes to many customers before, but those who could afford to customize their safes all felt it was unlucky to hear that the original customer had died unexpectedly, and refused to buy it even with a discount.

Chen Feng and Sun Xiaorui were both somewhat surprised by Huang Li's bargaining skills, clearly indicating that Huang Li had made ample preparations beforehand.

After hesitating for a moment, the manager asked, "What is your target price?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Li looked at Chen Feng, who thought for a moment and then said, "Two hundred and eighty thousand, that's about 68% off."

Although Chen Feng was not short of money, he did not want to be taken advantage of. Besides, what Huang Li said earlier made a lot of sense, and he certainly couldn't let Huang Li's efforts go to waste.

Besides, this safe is so expensive, it must be a very profitable product with a huge profit margin.

Upon hearing this, the store manager immediately shook his head and said, "No, this price is absolutely unacceptable. If it were this price, someone would have already snapped it up. The most I can offer you is 40..."

Chen Feng interrupted him, saying in a relaxed tone, "Alright, let's go with 280,000. If you're willing, I'll pay for it right away. If not, I'll just look for another one."

The manager was naturally anxious upon seeing this. This safe had been a real headache for him; it had been sitting in the warehouse for almost half a year, and he hadn't been able to sell it despite trying for so long.

Those with money aren't short of cash and don't want to buy "second-hand," plus they're somewhat superstitious about the previous owner's unexpected death. Those without money can't afford it, nor do they need such a high-end safe.

The manager frowned and pleaded, "Please add some more; 280,000 is really too little. It's not even at cost price."

Upon seeing this, Chen Feng said, "Then it's 288,000. This is my final price. If you don't want to buy it, then forget it."

After Chen Feng finished speaking, he ignored him and walked outside.

Actually, he doesn't really need a safe right now.

The things in his home that are precious to him are unlikely to be stolen in a short period of time.

Therefore, this "second-hand" safe is not very attractive to Chen Feng now.

Seeing that Chen Feng was really about to leave, the manager could only quickly chase after him and say, "Mr. Chen, how about 300,000? This is really just the cost price."

Chen Feng then stopped and turned to look at him: "Does it include transportation and installation?"

The manager was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile and said, "Within the city limits, it's included."

"Okay, I'll go to your store to sign the contract and pay, and then you can deliver it to my home and install it today, is that alright?"

"...Yes, sir."

The manager quickly composed himself and greeted everyone with a smile again.

The group returned to the store, signed the contract, and Chen Feng readily paid by swiping his card.

The store manager said the safe could be delivered to his home within an hour at the earliest, which Chen Feng was very satisfied with. After leaving the store, Chen Feng smiled and praised Huang Li, "You did a great job this time, you helped me negotiate a good price and saved me a lot of money."

Sun Xiaorui also said with a smile, "Very professional, she immediately left the manager speechless and unable to refute her."

Huang Li was pleased, but still humbly said, "The main problem is that these safes are hard to sell. After all, they cost five or six hundred thousand, which is unaffordable for most people. Even if they could afford them, they would consider them unlucky, so they just sit in the warehouse and become a liability. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to negotiate such a good price."

Chen Feng nodded and said, "That's partly true, but you've made ample preparations this time, which is excellent. I'm very satisfied with you as my assistant."

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Huang Li's face lit up with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment, boss."

Although she was Chen Feng's personal assistant, they rarely saw each other, and Chen Feng didn't assign her much work, yet she still received a high salary. This time, she finally managed to help him negotiate a price and save a lot of money, demonstrating her value.

"keep it up."

After making a joke with a smile, Chen Feng walked towards the parking area.

Then I ran into Sun Yanhong, whom I hadn't seen in a long time. She was still dressed like a noblewoman: her hair was loosely tied up in a bun with an ebony hairpin, and a mulberry silk scarf in the color of an ink painting was draped around her neck. She wore a misty blue silk shirt, and an enamel brooch with a half-open magnolia flower was pinned to her collarbone. She wore high-waisted wide-leg trousers in navy blue with subtle silver thread patterns, and on her left wrist she wore an exquisite ladies' watch, and on her right wrist she wore a warm-colored mutton fat jade bracelet.

In addition, of course, there's a limited-edition Louis Vuitton bag that he's carrying.

An aura of wealth and luxury emanates from him.

A woman like that, especially one with a voluptuous and mature figure, would undoubtedly turn heads on the street.

At first, Sun Yanhong was talking to a middle-aged man in his forties next to her with her head turned to the side, and did not see Chen Feng.

When Chen Feng saw her, she noticed him too. She was startled at first, then looked surprised, embarrassed, and a little guilty, and waved to him, saying, "Chen Feng!"

She quickened her pace and walked towards Chen Feng, her face full of a happy smile: "What a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you here."

This is still within the Xiuzhou Building area, one of the top shopping malls in the city, so it's perfectly normal to run into acquaintances.

Chen Feng nodded calmly at her: "It is a bit of a coincidence, we are about to leave..."

Chen Feng didn't want to talk to her any longer and was about to leave when the middle-aged man who had been with Sun Yanhong earlier came over and said to Chen Feng with a smile, "So you're Boss Chen. It's a pleasure to meet you. I've often heard Yanhong mention you."

Chen Feng looked at the man, and Sun Yanhong quickly introduced him: "He is my friend, Cheng Pengyun."

After saying that, she glanced at Cheng Pengyun and added, "He works at a research institute."

Chen Feng then smiled slightly at this person and nodded, but did not say anything.

Upon seeing Chen Feng's attitude, Cheng Pengyun's smile froze for a moment; clearly, he found Chen Feng's attitude somewhat impolite.

Sun Yanhong knew that Chen Feng was aloof and unwilling to make friends; she had felt this deeply before.

So Sun Yanhong quickly smoothed things over and changed the subject, asking, "Did you come here to buy something? Why are you all empty-handed? Xiaorui, didn't you buy anything either?"

Sun Yanhong nodded to Sun Xiaorui in greeting, but Sun Xiaorui didn't have a good impression of her. She just smiled perfunctorily and didn't reply.

Chen Feng and Sun Xiaorui's attitude made Cheng Pengyun even more unhappy, but as a highly educated man, he still had the composure he needed. He calmly said to Sun Yanhong, "We've already given our greetings, so let's not waste their time. Let's go."

Sun Yanhong was a little reluctant to part with Chen Feng like this. Ignoring Cheng Pengyun's words, she smiled and said to Chen Feng, "We haven't seen each other for so long. Why don't we find a place to sit down and have a cup of tea and chat?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Pengyun's face immediately fell. Before Chen Feng could reply, Sun Xiaorui spoke up, "We have something urgent to do and need to go back. Let's talk about it another time. Brother, let's go."

After saying that, before Sun Yanhong could say anything more, Sun Xiaorui pulled Chen Feng past her.

Sun Yanhong opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't utter a sound. She knew it would be useless to shout; Chen Feng wouldn't go for tea with her. She could only sigh silently in her heart.

After Chen Feng had walked a little further away, Cheng Pengyun questioned him with a grim expression, "What's wrong with you? They weren't even paying attention to us, yet you still insisted on going up to them?"

Sun Yanhong frowned and said, "He's my friend, and that's just his personality."

Cheng Pengyun said speechlessly, "What kind of friend treats you like this? You invited him for tea just now, and he ignored you. And that woman didn't give you a friendly look either. I've always heard you say how outstanding and amazing this film company boss is, but it turns out that seeing is believing. He has no basic manners at all."

When Sun Yanhong heard him say that about Chen Feng, she became somewhat irritated and said coldly, "Are you mocking me?"

Cheng Pengyun was taken aback for a moment, then quickly shook his head and denied it: "How could I have mocked you? I just felt indignant on your behalf because those two didn't respect you."

Sun Yanhong snorted and said, "Mind your own business from now on. If I say he's my friend, then he's my friend. I'm used to dealing with him this way, so why are you so concerned?"

Upon hearing her words, Cheng Pengyun immediately sensed something was amiss. His eyes widened slightly, and anger surged within him as he said, "You wouldn't happen to have feelings for him, would you? No wonder, he didn't like you, right?"

Cheng Pengyun was slow to realize this, but fortunately, he was highly educated and was able to deduce it with a little reasoning.

After all, Chen Feng was a handsome man; his looks and demeanor made him, a fellow outstanding man, feel somewhat inferior. However, Sun Yanhong had never met Chen Feng before, and he had never seen him at all, so he really didn't know that the Chen Feng Sun Yanhong mentioned from time to time looked like this.

Coupled with Chen Feng's attitude towards Sun Yanhong just now, he hadn't expected it for a moment.

As a result, Sun Yanhong was happy to be treated so coldly by Chen Feng, and even felt indignant and dissatisfied with him.

Even someone as dense as him would have realized what was happening.

Sun Yanhong's face flushed bright red when he suddenly exposed her thoughts. She was both ashamed and embarrassed, and said angrily, "I can't be bothered to talk to you!"

After saying this, Sun Yanhong immediately turned around and left.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Pengyun quickly chased after her and apologized: "Yan Hong, didn't we agree to be honest and tolerant? I'm just a straightforward person, I say whatever comes to mind. I didn't mean to blame you, I just think Chen Feng is too arrogant and disrespectful to you, and I feel wronged for you."

Sun Yanhong walked along, and Cheng Pengyun followed. When they arrived at the parking lot, Sun Yanhong opened the car door, and Cheng Pengyun quickly got into the passenger seat.

"Yanhong, you promised me you'd get a divorce in two years..."

Upon hearing this, Sun Yanhong immediately interrupted, "I did say I would divorce you in two years, but I never agreed to marry you. Don't be so confident and presumptuous. At most, we are lovers now. If you consider me your wife, then let's break up as soon as possible."

"No, that's not what I meant," Cheng Pengyun immediately explained. "I just think your idea of ​​Chen Feng is a bit unrealistic. He's so young and doesn't lack money, why are you..."

"Stop! I don't want to hear your nonsense anymore. You're just my temporary lover. If you keep interfering in my affairs, we're breaking up. You know my reputation has always been bad, and your relationship with me is only tarnishing yours..."

"I don't care about your past reputation. As long as you're doing well in the future, I'm willing to marry you..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't say anything about marrying me anymore. If I get divorced, I can't remarry. Besides, I can't have children..."

“I already have a son, so I don’t care whether you have another child or not.”

After a moment of silence, Sun Yanhong slowly spoke, "Old Cheng, I've been thinking about it, and we're really not a good match. We're from completely different worlds, and our values ​​are completely different..."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Pengyun immediately interrupted, saying, "Yan Hong, I truly like you. We're both this age, and we've been through a lot. It's rare to find a partner you truly love again, so I've always cherished you. I hope you won't easily give up on our relationship."

Sun Yanhong turned her head to look at his handsome middle-aged face, which was full of scholarly air. Although he couldn't compare to Chen Feng, he was undoubtedly outstanding among his peers. More importantly, his family background was also very good.

So, in the end, she softened and didn't say she wanted to break up. (End of Chapter)
