After the divorce, I started to transfer

The next day, when Chen Feng got up, he found that Qin Zhen was not at home.

It's only 7:30, and I'm already going to work?
So Chen Feng called directly to inquire, and sure enough, he had already started work. He explained that his current position was different from those who sat in offices, and given the special nature of his work, he couldn't afford to be careless.

Therefore, he arrives at work at least before 7:30 every morning to learn about the previous day's work, the work arrangements for the day, and to think about potential key issues in order to prevent problems before they arise.

That's how Qin Zhen always demands of himself, anyway.

What else could Chen Feng say but admire?

After leaving Qin Zhen's house, I first went to a nearby breakfast shop for breakfast, and then drove to the postpartum care center to see Shen Lin.

Shen Lin was naturally very happy to see Chen Feng come to see her so early in the morning.

She had just finished breakfast and, as was her usual habit, was going for a walk in the garden. Chen Feng, of course, didn't want to change her good habit, so he went for a walk with her.

Chen Feng asked her about her situation here, mainly about her diet. This was what Chen Feng was most concerned about, fearing that the kitchen might cheat or use inferior ingredients, or even that there might be food safety issues.

Shen Lin said there was no need to worry, as the kitchen was completely open to customers and their families and was under strict supervision, with surveillance monitors displayed in the lobby.

Anyway, she's been quite satisfied with the meals she's had since she settled in.

Hearing her say that, and considering that he had personally inspected the kitchen before, Chen Feng felt a little relieved.

After accompanying Shen Lin for a half-hour walk, Chen Feng took her back to her room and stayed for a few more minutes before leaving.

When I got home, the two women were already at work.

Chen Feng first took a shower, then immediately went to the training room on the first floor to absorb the special energy from the jade thumb ring, and then began to meditate.

Chen Feng didn't come out of the training room until lunchtime.

Sun and Wu are both used to coming home for lunch, mainly because they have a very good cook who prepares dishes that perfectly suit their tastes. The difference is quite obvious when compared to the company cafeteria.

In addition, Chen Feng usually eats lunch at home most of the time, so they would naturally prefer to eat with him.

When they woke up this morning and didn't see Chen Feng, they confirmed that he hadn't come back last night.

They weren't too surprised by this. Although Chen Feng didn't stay out all night very often, it wasn't uncommon either. They were pretty sure that Chen Feng was with some woman.

But this time they really wronged Chen Feng.

At the dinner table, neither of the two women asked Chen Feng where he had gone or where he had slept the previous night.

The main problem was that Wu Mengting didn't seem to care at all, which made Chen Feng feel a little uncomfortable.

So Chen Feng took the initiative to tell them about how he had gone to Qin Zhen's place the night before to celebrate Qin Zhen's promotion, where he drank and stayed overnight.

After listening, Wu Mengting frowned slightly and said, "Don't forget, drinking is bad for your health. Try not to drink next time."

Chen Feng, of course, understood the implied meaning in her words. She didn't know that his brain cancer had been cured. Chen Feng hadn't planned to tell her this before, lest she pressure him to marry her. More importantly, if he were no longer suffering from cancer or a terminal illness, he might lose her tolerance.

The main reason why Wu Mengting was able to tolerate his philandering was because he was terminally ill and she thought he was going to die soon.

If it weren't for this reason, Wu Mengting definitely wouldn't have endured it until now.

Brain cancer was his shield with Wu Mengting, and Chen Feng really didn't want to be honest with her.

Therefore, Chen Feng immediately accepted her reminder humbly and nodded, saying, "Yes, I will try not to drink next time."

Wu Mengting didn't say much then, but instead asked about Qin Zhen's promotion, which Chen Feng explained in detail.

After finishing their meal, the three of them sat in the living room for a while before the two women went back to their room for a nap.

After waiting downstairs for a while, Chen Feng went upstairs and entered Sun Xiaorui's bedroom.

Chen Feng came in without knocking. Sun Xiaorui noticed immediately and said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's noon now. Besides, Mengting only sleeps for half an hour at most before waking up..."

Chen Feng was taken aback for a moment before he understood what she meant. He said somewhat speechlessly, "I didn't come here to do *that* with you. I wanted to talk to you about the changes in the company's shareholding."

Sun Xiaorui then asked, "Are you referring to Mengting's 10% shareholding?"

"You found out? Mengting told you?" Chen Feng asked, somewhat surprised.

Sun Xiaorui shook her head and said, "It was a company announcement, pinned to the top of the work group. It must have been at Mengting's behest. Now everyone in the company knows about it. Mengting is not only the boss's wife now, but also the second largest shareholder."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng could only say that Wu Mengting understood psychology.

There's no need to immediately announce changes in company shareholding to the entire company; at most, only middle and senior management need to be notified. After all, his company isn't a publicly listed company, so not everything needs to be publicly disclosed.

Wu Mengting's actions were likely intended to further enhance her standing among all company employees, demonstrate her authority and dominance, and perhaps even subtly put pressure on some individuals.

Sun Xiaorui might be among them. The reason, of course, is that Chen Feng had yesterday wanted to give company shares to Sun Xiaorui, making her the company's third-largest shareholder. This clearly made Wu Mengting somewhat dissatisfied.

Chen Feng carefully observed Sun Xiaorui's expression, but he couldn't tell what she was thinking. At least on the surface, Sun Xiaorui didn't seem disappointed or depressed.

However, Chen Feng still asked directly, "Aren't you a little resentful that I'm giving Mengting 10% of the shares?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaorui was visibly taken aback, and then asked in surprise, "Why would I feel unbalanced?"

Chen Feng was taken aback by her question, and laughed, "So you don't feel any resentment, right?"

Sun Xiaorui nodded firmly: "Of course. I have absolutely no objection to you giving her shares, because in my eyes and the rest of the company, Mengting deserves these 10% shares. After all, you're a hands-off boss who basically doesn't manage things, and the reason the company has grown so big and valuable is basically all thanks to Mengting. From 'Qingyu'an' to 'Feihua,' she personally wrote and produced them all. Before, some people privately joked that it's lucky Mengting is your girlfriend, otherwise she would have been poached long ago."

After hearing what she said and thinking about it carefully, Chen Feng realized that it made sense.

However, Chen Feng still said with a hint of seriousness, "If we're only considering contributions to the company, from the perspective of the company owner, I couldn't possibly give her so many shares at once. But because my personal feelings were involved, I gave her so many. You've been with me much longer than her, yet I haven't given you more..."

"Stop talking," Sun Xiaorui immediately interrupted him. "I understand what you mean. You feel indebted to me for giving Mengting shares but not me, right?"

Chen Feng nodded.

Sun Xiaorui smiled brightly, happily got out of bed, and hugged Chen Feng, who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Your kindness is enough. And you've already given me enough. If you give me more, I'm afraid I won't be able to accept it. I know my own limitations. I'm no match for Mengting, and I can't possibly be compared to her. So, I never intended to compete with her for anything from the beginning. As long as she can guarantee that I still have a small place by your side, that's enough."

Chen Feng knew this was her true feeling, and he felt a pang of sympathy. Among the three of them, Sun Xiaorui was truly insignificant.

After a moment of silence, Chen Feng said, "Then I'll give you more pocket money. 10 a month, paid annually."

Sun Xiaorui, of course, understood the meaning of this pocket money, so she didn't refuse. She smiled happily and first kissed him on the cheek before saying, "Then thank you very much, boss."

Chen Feng casually donated 600 million yuan, so giving her a few tens of thousands more each month is just a drop in the bucket. In reality, she now has a salary of over a million yuan a year, plus the monthly allowance Chen Feng gives her, which adds up to over a million yuan.

She doesn't have to pay for household expenses normally, as Chen Feng provides a supplementary card for payment.

Therefore, she receives more than one million yuan every year, a small portion of which is used to support her parents and her younger brother who is in school, and the rest is saved. She basically doesn't spend any of it.

Her bank account balance is now close to one million yuan, and it's increasing every month due to her salary. Of course, her amount can't compare to Wu Mengting's, but compared to other people her age, she's definitely one in a million.

She was quite content with this.

Chen Feng was relieved to see that she didn't seem to feel resentful or jealous of Wu Mengting.

There is no doubt that he still values ​​a harmonious atmosphere at home.

If his gift of shares to Wu Mengting causes Sun Xiaorui to lose her composure and disrupt the peace at home, then he'll have a real headache.

"Then it's settled. You can continue your nap. I won't disturb you."

Chen Feng kissed her, then let go of her and got up to leave.

As soon as Chen Feng left and the door closed, Sun Xiaorui's face fell slightly.

In fact, it's impossible for her not to feel a little resentful, but the main reason was jealousy. Because this incident shows that Chen Feng truly loves Wu Mengting, or rather, he loves Wu Mengting the most.

But Chen Feng was someone she liked and loved, yet Chen Feng clearly loved Wu Mengting more. How could she not feel any jealousy?

What's somewhat comforting is that Chen Feng was considerate of her feelings and came over specifically to talk to her about it. In an effort to make amends, he even gave her extra pocket money.

Thinking about this, Sun Xiaorui felt a little frustrated, knowing that she couldn't compare to Wu Mengting, but she was also very happy.

After all, Chen Feng still cares about her and has her in his heart.

However, this means she obviously won't be able to take a nap at noon today.

So she immediately took out her phone, opened the "Sisterhood Alliance Group," and announced that Chen Feng had given shares to Wu Mengting.

When the news was announced in the group, Liu Ying was the first to react.

[10% of the shares, isn't that worth hundreds of millions? What was Chen Feng thinking? Giving away shares worth hundreds of millions just like that.]

Liu Ying was furious and sent a voice message directly to the group.

She had worked at Fengmang Films for a period of time and had witnessed the company's growth step by step. Of course, she knew about Wu Mengting's contributions to Fengmang Films, but Chen Feng still felt a pang of heartache at the thought of giving so many shares to Wu Mengting.

In her simple mind, she believed that her daughter would eventually have a share in the company. If she divided some of it out now, her daughter would naturally have less in the future.

I just checked recently, and Fengmang Pictures' market capitalization is already 4 billion, or even higher. Therefore, a 10% stake is now worth 400 million. This is a relatively conservative valuation; if it could be transferred, adding another 100 million would be quite normal. After all, Fengmang Pictures has a very strong reputation in the industry, and many people and investors want to invest but cannot.

Jin Xinyan also sent a voice message.

Guo Mengyao posted a more objective statement: "While a 10% stake seems a bit much, Wu Mengting deserves it. After all, she's created several hit dramas; otherwise, Fengmang Pictures wouldn't be so valuable today."

Upon seeing this, Liu Ying became somewhat angry and sent a voice message asking, "Which side are you on?"

Guo Mengyao also posted a voice message: "I'm just stating the facts. Do you think she doesn't deserve that 10% stake? I've run a company and been a boss before. If I had such a capable employee or talent, I would definitely reward them with shares, otherwise they would definitely leave."

Liu Ying was speechless, unable to think of a rebuttal for a moment.

Jin Xinyan said, "I don't care whether she gets shares or not. What I care about is why Chen Feng suddenly gave her shares? Rui-jie, do you know?"

After a while, Sun Xiaorui replied in text: "[I don't know the specifics either. I've had the idea of ​​giving her shares before, but Mengting didn't want them; Chen Feng insisted she only wanted the dividends. This time, I don't know why, Mengting accepted them.]"

Liu Ying immediately sent a voice message denouncing: "[Why else? It's all about profit. These are shares worth hundreds of millions; who could resist? She pretended to be virtuous before, but now she's just after the money.]"

Yu Xiaohui suddenly chimed in, sending a voice message: "I think Mengting isn't just after money; she wants to further control Fengmang Films. She's very career-driven. Although she was capable, held a high position, and had the title of 'boss's wife' in the company, nothing beats being the second-largest shareholder."

When she said that, Liu Ying and others alike agreed with her to some extent.

Sun Xiaorui found this very reasonable and chimed in, "That must be the reason. The company grew step by step under Mengting's leadership; she values ​​it highly and naturally wants to keep it firmly in her grasp."

Jin Xinyan said, "That might be one reason, but I think there must be others. Otherwise, she wouldn't have waited until now to ask for shares. Something must have happened that we don't know about. Sister Rui, why don't you go and find out?"

Sun Xiaorui was speechless. Even if Chen Feng and Wu Mengting had something they weren't telling outsiders, she didn't want to pry.

Hong Xiaodan suddenly chimed in: "I guess it might be Chen Feng's way of compensating her."

Liu Ying quickly asked, "Compensation? What compensation?"

Jin Xinyan said happily, "Could this be compensation for not being able to marry her?"

Hong Xiaodan: [Possibly.]

Everyone in the group was overjoyed upon hearing this, including Sun Xiaorui. If Hong Xiaodan's guess was true, her position as the "other woman" would be secure, and she wouldn't be driven away from Chen Feng.

Liu Ying was undoubtedly the most excited, and immediately sent a voice message urging Sun Xiaorui: "Xiaorui, go verify this right away. Go directly to Chen Feng."

Sun Xiaorui herself wanted to verify this guess, so she replied with "okay".

The atmosphere in the group immediately became lively and festive.

……

Chen Feng returned to his room and first sent a video call invitation to Zhao Xingrong in Luzon, who answered immediately.

After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Feng carefully examined his "face" and then said, "Very good, same as today, nothing to worry about."

After Zhao Xingrong breathed a sigh of relief, he said somewhat embarrassedly, "My uncle asked me to apologize to you on his behalf. He originally wanted to visit you in person to apologize, but he was afraid of angering you, so he could only ask me to apologize on his behalf first. After I return to China, my uncle and I will formally thank and apologize to you together."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng's lips twitched slightly, and he quickly said, "You already apologized to me before, which means this matter is over. Your uncle is so old, I don't need his apology."

Zhao Xingrong was somewhat embarrassed and could only smile wryly, "My uncle felt very guilty after learning that you had saved my life again. He's a very proud man, and knowing that your cleverness had been seen through, he was ashamed and didn't dare to face you himself. But he really wanted to make amends. So, he went to great lengths these past two days to speak on behalf of your friend, Inspector Qin, and get him promoted for his merit. When I get back, my uncle also plans to give you 10% of the shares in the mines in Luzon as an apology. I hope you won't find it offensive."

Chen Feng was taken aback. It turned out that Qin Zhen's promotion was due to the "good words" spoken by that old man Zhao Jinfu.

Thinking about it carefully, that really is the case. Otherwise, Qin Zhen doesn't have any background or superiors who appreciate him here. He's only been out of the military and transferred to another position for the past two years. Even if he has excellent work performance and enough merits, it would be very difficult for him to be promoted from deputy to full-time in one go.

"If we were to negotiate the deal for your family's mine, how much would it be worth?" Chen Feng asked curiously.

“It will cost approximately two hundred million US dollars,” Zhao Xingrong replied obediently.

Chen Feng laughed and said, "That 10% stake is worth at least twenty million US dollars?"

Zhao Xingrong nodded, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "It's a bit little, so I hope you won't mind."

Chen Feng had already donated 600 million yuan, so 20 million US dollars was indeed a bit paltry, but it was shares in the mine, and his family certainly couldn't give more. Moreover, there was also Zhao Jinfu's scheming involved.

"Forget it. I appreciate your kindness, but I don't want the shares in this mine."

Zhao Xingrong quickly said, "This mine is a rich deposit with excellent development prospects. We've contracted it for approximately $2 million, which will allow us to mine for 50 years, ensuring continuous profits. A 10% stake, while not necessarily extremely valuable in the future, will still be a considerable income that can be left to future generations." (End of Chapter)
