After the divorce, I started to transfer

At 9:30 a.m., Chen Feng arrived at the Kaiyue Building.

On the 15th floor, the logo of Mingjian Venture Capital is prominently displayed on the wall; you can see it as soon as you enter the main door.

The company has just been established and has not yet officially recruited employees, so there is not even a receptionist.

However, the company has already been cleaned up and arranged. Some desks and chairs have been set up, and there are also some office supplies, such as printers and computers.

Of course, this place is obviously not newly renovated, but rather left behind by the company that used to work here, so it can hardly be considered new.

Chen Feng didn't see anything wrong with this. After all, the contracts with the partners hadn't been signed yet, and their money hadn't been in place. The company hadn't even passed the formal review, and they hadn't obtained the necessary qualifications. There was really no need to put money out for renovations first.

When Chen Feng arrived, Zhao Zixuan and the other two women, along with two investors, were already there; only one other investor was missing.

One of the investors was a middle-aged, well-off woman in her forties who wore glasses and had a kind smile. Her name was Li Caidie, and she was Gong Huize's aunt, or her mother's cousin.

The other was a middle-aged man in his fifties, short and thin, with a long face and sharp eyes. He looked like someone not to be trifled with. His name was Wang Yehua, and he was the owner of an auto parts company in Shanghai, mainly producing bearings, bushings, and pistons.

Gong Huize's aunt was quite polite and courteous to Chen Feng from the very beginning, probably because her niece had privately introduced Chen Feng's background to her.

Wang Yehua was unaware of the rumors circulating about Chen Feng and assumed he was simply the owner of an entertainment company. While he remained polite to Chen Feng on the surface, he clearly didn't want to talk to him much.

Chen Feng, of course, had no intention of having a deep conversation with them. The group sat down in the reception area on the left after entering the company gate. Shi Huili acted as a temporary clerk, first giving each of them a bottle of Evian mineral water, and then bringing them printed contracts.

Each of the partners had a copy of the "Shareholder Investment Cooperation Agreement." In addition to the standard contract terms, it contained the performance-based agreement that Gong Huize had previously negotiated with Zhao Zixuan. Gong Huize guaranteed that she could help the shareholders recoup their investment within five years, in which case her personal share would increase by an additional 20%. If this goal was not achieved, the 20% share would be distributed to the other four shareholders according to their shareholding ratio.

Gong Huize had already discussed this additional betting clause with several shareholders beforehand. Her aunt, Li Caidie, initially opposed it, feeling that it was too risky for her. If she couldn't recoup her investment within five years, Gong Huize would suffer a significant loss.

Wang Yehua agreed after only a brief consideration. His main reason for investing in Gong Huize, besides being an old friend of her father for decades, was to participate in her cousin Dongdian Electric's investment project in electrical connectors.

He himself is a manufacturer of auto parts, which is in the same industry as Dongdian Electric, but they are not competitors. On the contrary, they complement each other, and it seems like a sure thing that he can make money, so of course he is willing to take a stake. It's only ten million, which is not a lot of money for him.

Therefore, he didn't care much about the terms of the bet. Since Chen Feng, who was paying the largest share, had agreed, he naturally had no reason to object.

Chen Feng glanced at the contract and then put it down.

Anyway, not everyone had arrived yet, and his lawyer, Lu Guancheng, hadn't come over either, so he couldn't be bothered to check.

After waiting for a few minutes, Lu Guancheng finally arrived and repeatedly apologized to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng called him at eight o'clock this morning, which forced him to change his work arrangements and come here from elsewhere. Because of the distance, he arrived later than Chen Feng.

But he certainly wouldn't say the specific reasons in front of outsiders; he would just admit his mistake and apologize.

Chen Feng didn't really care that he arrived later than him. He was supposed to have contacted him last night, but after he confessed to Wu Mengting last night, he did *that* and completely forgot about it.

I only remembered it this morning after I woke up, so I called him.

So he waved his hand, telling him not to apologize, and that was the end of it.

Chen Feng then handed the contract to him for review. Although he wasn't particularly concerned about the tens of millions of yuan investment, he still needed to be cautious and follow the proper procedures. Finding a reliable lawyer to review the contract was essential.

Lu Guancheng's professional skills are quite good. He performed very well when he went to Zhao Xingrong's house last time. Otherwise, Chen Feng might not have kept asking him for help.

Lu Guancheng took the contract and sat down to review it carefully. Wang Yehua did the same. He brought two people with him. One looked like a driver or bodyguard and sat quietly not far from him. The other was a bespectacled man in his thirties, who was either an assistant or a lawyer. He was also carefully reviewing the contract with Wang Yehua.

Li Caidie was accompanied by a female driver or assistant, but she wasn't reviewing the contract with Gong Huize. She was reviewing it alone, which suggests either that she is highly capable and confident in her ability to properly review the contract, or that she trusts Gong Huize and believes he won't cheat her on the contract.

Another ten minutes or so passed before the last investor finally arrived. He was relatively young, around thirty-five or thirty-six years old, with a strong build, prominent chest muscles, and was clearly a fitness enthusiast. He was about 1.8 meters tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked very dashing.

When Gong Huize saw him, her expression was rather unpleasant. She directly questioned him, "Wei Zhongxiong, didn't I tell you you had to be here before 9:30? Look at the time now!"

The two were clearly familiar with each other. Wei Zhongxiong wasn't angry at all upon hearing this; instead, he complained, "To save time, I specifically took the high-speed train here. I got up at six in the morning. Do you know how hard that was? I boarded the train at seven and arrived in Xiuzhou at eight-fifteen. Then, I just hailed a taxi at the train station exit and rushed here. As you can see, that bastard driver probably realized I was from out of town and took a longer route. When I realized something was wrong and checked my phone's navigation, I got so angry that I had a huge argument with him, and we almost beat him up. Then, I decisively got out of the car and called a ride-hailing service to get here. If you don't believe me, you can ask Rongrong."

After Wei Zhongxiong finished speaking, he pointed to a beautiful woman with long, straight hair next to him. She was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a great figure and good looks. She was probably his secretary or assistant.

Upon hearing this, the woman named Rongrong nodded somewhat awkwardly to Gong Huize and said, "That taxi driver went too far. The boss argued with him for several minutes and finally got so angry that he punched him a few times. The other party stopped the car and was about to call the police. I finally managed to persuade him to stop and compensated him a thousand yuan."

Everyone was speechless for a long time after hearing this.

Wei Zhongxiong, however, looked quite smug and laughed, "I was sitting in the back row at the time, and I was so angry that I punched him three times on the back of the head and back. Three punches cost a thousand yuan, not a bad deal."

Rongrong, however, didn't give her boss any face and complained, "The driver was still driving at the time. I was scared half to death, and the driver was just as scared. He slammed on the brakes and almost rear-ended the car behind us. I saw his face turn white."

Wei Zhongxiong said angrily, "I'm so scared of that bastard."

Gong Huize raised his hand to his forehead and shook his head, saying, "How can you still act so recklessly? You always say you're a cultured person, but do the things you do resemble what a cultured person would do?"

"If you encountered a driver who took a longer route and ripped you off, wouldn't you be furious?" Wei Zhongxiong retorted.

"Alright, alright, I'm not going to talk about this anymore. I called you here to sign a contract. Come over and take a look at the contract. If there are no problems, sign it. I'm just waiting for you."

"Oh."

Wei Zhongxiong agreed and obediently went over to take the contract from Shi Huili, then found an empty seat and sat down to read it.

But like Chen Feng, he only glanced at it briefly before handing the contract to Rongrong, who was standing next to him.

After Rongrong took it, she examined it very carefully.

Wei Zhongxiong then got up and walked towards Gong Huize, asking with a grin, "I heard you're breaking up with that pretty boy?"

Gong Huize frowned and looked at him with displeasure: "Who told you that?"

“A friend of mine happens to know that pretty boy.”

“That’s not true,” Gong Huize immediately denied.

"Really not broken up? My friend heard it from that pretty boy himself, saying you wanted to break up with him." Wei Zhongxiong looked incredulous.

"If you say you don't have it, then you don't. Why are you meddling in my business?" Gong Huize glared at him angrily.

"What are you saying? I'm your brother. Have you forgotten that you always called me brother when we were kids, until you started dating that pretty boy?" Wei Zhongxiong looked somewhat hurt.

It turns out the two have known each other since childhood, and Gong Huize has always called him brother, so their relationship is really very close.

Hearing him say that, and with so many people around them overhearing, Gong Huize was overwhelmed with shame. That damned Wei Zhongxiong, he said such things without any regard for the occasion. She glared at him with murderous intent.

Wei Zhongxiong immediately shuddered, realizing he had angered her this time, and quickly smiled apologetically, saying, "Okay, okay, it's my fault, I shouldn't have asked so many questions."

After saying that, he turned around decisively, jogged back to his original seat, and looked like he had made a mistake and didn't dare to look at Gong Huize.

His strong physique paired with his somewhat timid expression is quite a contrast.

Although Gong Huize was furious, he couldn't show it in front of so many people, so he could only endure it.

Chen Feng and Zhao Zixuan watched this spectacle unfold and found it quite amusing. Chen Feng, somewhat curious, asked Zhao Zixuan in the Lushi dialect, "Do you know this person?"

Zhao Zixuan nodded and replied in Lushi dialect, "I've met him a few times. He's a very funny person."

"What?"

"He's a second-generation rich kid. He's known Huize since childhood; he's our neighbor. Now he seems to be the owner of some kind of business consulting company, but he's basically a middleman. I heard his mother's family has some influence."

Chen Feng nodded knowingly.

A few minutes later, Lu Guancheng asked Chen Feng about some key issues regarding the contract. After confirming that everything was correct, he informed Chen Feng that there were no problems with the contract and that it could be signed.

So Chen Feng signed the contract on the spot. In addition, he also had Lu Guancheng print out another "Equity Holding Agreement" to allow Zhao Zixuan to hold his shares in Mingjian Venture Capital on his behalf.

Lu Guancheng readily agreed, and with Shi Huili's help, went to the desk where the computer and printer were placed to print the contract.

After waiting for another ten minutes or so, everyone confirmed that the contract was correct and signed it.

Then, Gong Huize led several shareholders to the conference room. The conference table and chairs inside looked newly purchased and were quite new.

Gong Huize took the chair without hesitation, followed by Zhao Zixuan on her left, Shi Huili on her right, Chen Feng next to Zhao Zixuan, and Wei Zhongxiong opposite her.

"Hello everyone, let's discuss and negotiate some of the company's articles of association." President Gong Huize presided over the meeting, and his opening remarks were quite authoritative.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Zhongxiong suddenly clapped and cheered, "Good, well said!"

Everyone looked at him in surprise, and Gong Huize was so angry that she shot him a glare. Wei Zhongxiong received the glare and immediately stopped what he was doing.

"Alright, Huili, please distribute our preliminary draft of the 'Company Articles of Association' to everyone first, and then we will discuss each item in detail."

Shi Huili immediately got up and distributed documents to everyone.

We discussed some issues related to the company, mainly its articles of association.

The company name, address, business scope, shareholders' rights and obligations, the method of establishing the company's structure, powers, rules of procedure, financial accounting and profit distribution system, company dissolution and liquidation, etc., all these need to be discussed and clarified, then everyone should sign them and submit them to the relevant departments for filing.

In this way, the company's articles of association were finalized in about an hour, forming a resolution which was then signed and filed by everyone.

"Alright, to celebrate the successful convening of our shareholders' meeting, let's have a meal together. I've already made a reservation at a hotel nearby. Let's go."

After Gong Huize finished speaking, he stood up and walked out first.

Chen Feng didn't really want to go, but seeing that none of the others refused, he didn't want to be a spoilsport or stand out, so he went along.

The hotel where the dinner was held is very close to this office building; it's just a few minutes' walk away.

Inside the private room, the shareholders sat at one table, while the rest of the followers were seated at another.

Although Gong Huize and Shi Huili are women, they are both alcohol connoisseurs with a high alcohol tolerance. They are also very eloquent and have excellent interpersonal skills, always speaking wittily.

With a woman like that at the table, there's no way the conversation will be dull; now, let alone with two women like that.

So even Wang Yehua, who looked somewhat serious and fierce, was soon flattered and amused by the two women, laughing heartily and showing his teeth. He had said he wouldn't drink, but in just a few minutes, he had finished a small bottle of Carlsberg.

Chen Feng was in a similar situation. Even though he knew that both women were social butterflies and didn't have a particularly good impression of them, he had to admire them for their ability to please others, especially men.

Women like this are beautiful, and with their high emotional intelligence and IQ, especially their expertise in finance, it's hard for them not to make money.

However, Wei Zhongxiong, another man present, was clearly not pleased by the two women. Instead, because Gong Huize was angry with him, she specially prepared a bottle of Red Star Erguotou for him. Although it was a small 100ml bottle, Gong Huize made him drink three bottles in a row, saying that he had delayed everyone by being late, so it was only right for him to punish himself with three cups (bottles).

Everyone thought Wei Zhongxiong would make excuses to refuse to drink, but to everyone's surprise, this tall man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, under Gong Huize's cold gaze, actually didn't say a word and then chugged down three bottles in a row.

He finished more than half a jin of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor). Although he immediately ate a lot of food, he soon looked listless and his face turned as red as a monkey's bottom, clearly indicating that he couldn't hold his liquor very well.

As the party was about to end, this guy drank a few more bottles of beer and just collapsed onto the table.

Gong Huize seemed to have anticipated this situation. After the banquet, he skillfully called over two waiters, gave each of them a tip of 100 yuan, and had them help him out. At the same time, he called Rongrong from next door and asked her to book a room so that Wei Zhongxiong could stay at the hotel.

After leaving the hotel, Chen Feng and Zhao Zixuan communicated in Lushi dialect.

Chen Feng sighed and said, "It seems that Wei Zhongxiong is Gong Huize's lapdog. I wonder if he has ever confessed to Gong Huize before."

Zhao Zixuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "I don't think so. Seeing how timid he is in front of Huize, I know he doesn't have the courage."

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "Really, what a waste of his strong physique."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zixuan couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh to herself.

"What are you saying? Speaking gibberish again, and so happily at that?"

Gong Huize, who had been a few steps behind them, caught up and asked curiously.

Chen Feng spoke frankly: "We're talking about your Brown Bear Brother."

Gong Huize's face stiffened instantly, and he said irritably, "Are you making fun of him? That's just how he is; sometimes he acts without thinking."

Chen Feng immediately said seriously, "We didn't say that about him. On the contrary, I think he's a good person to you, he just seems a little afraid of you."

Gong Huize nodded somewhat awkwardly: "Yes, he has always been good to me."

After saying that, she immediately changed the subject, saying, "Are you going straight back, or would you like to come back to the company for a while?"

"Is there anything else I need to do at the company?" Zhao Zixuan asked.

"Huili and I plan to go to the company to further refine the organizational structure, and then finalize the job openings, headcount, salaries, and so on for each department. Also, once the money from you shareholders arrives, the company needs to be renovated. Would you like to come along?"

Without hesitation, Zhao Zixuan replied, "Of course we'll go together."

"Alright, let's go back to the company together. Chen Feng, what about you? Do you want to come along? After all, you're the biggest shareholder."

"I'll let it go. I've already let Zixuan hold the shares on my behalf. She's the largest shareholder in name only now."

"It's up to you then."

The group walked back to the Kaiyue Building, where Chen Feng parted ways with them downstairs. His car was parked not far from the roadside.

Once Chen Feng got into his car, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't had a chance to tell Zhao Zixuan about what happened between her and Wu Mengting yesterday.

Zhao Zixuan didn't bring it up herself, which suggests she was probably feeling a little guilty.

Chen Feng thought about it and decided to let it go, since their meeting indirectly led to his confession to Wu Mengting.

The outcome was actually quite good; Zhao Zixuan actually contributed to this matter. Since she doesn't want to talk about it, then she won't. (End of Chapter)
