After the divorce, I started to transfer

If it were anyone else, they would definitely be tempted to take advantage of such a bargain.

But Chen Feng was clearly not that kind of person, because for him, wanting money was too easy. So, these seemingly tempting and attractive mining shares meant nothing to Chen Feng.

Seeing that Zhao Xingrong was still trying to sell, Chen Feng smiled and said, "I appreciate your and your uncle's kindness. I really don't need shares in this mine. Let's call it a day."

After Chen Feng finished speaking, he immediately hung up the video call.

The fact that old man Zhao Jinfu could think of a way to curry favor with Qin Zhen by helping him get promoted shows that he does have some skill.

Chen Feng had to admit that he had to accept this favor.

Adding to the benefits he had previously received from Zhao Xingrong, Chen Feng naturally harbored no resentment towards the old man Zhao Jinfu.

On the other end of the video call, Zhao Xingrong couldn't help but show a look of regret.

He knew very well why his uncle wanted to give Chen Feng 10% of the mine's shares: he wanted to use Chen Feng's special abilities to form an alliance of interests with him. If they could bind themselves to Chen Feng, their family would make a fortune.

The reason they couldn't give Chen Feng more shares was because they feared that Chen Feng, this extraordinary individual, would be insatiable and try to take over the entire mine. Of course, this was undoubtedly due to Zhao Jinfu's petty and calculating nature.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Xingrong called his uncle Zhao Jinfu and told him about Chen Feng's refusal of the shares.

Zhao Jinfu was somewhat surprised and pressed further, "Does he think it's too little?"

Zhao Xingrong said, "No, I think he really doesn't want it. I think he doesn't really value money or these material possessions, otherwise he wouldn't have donated all 6 million yuan. He already has billions in assets, he's not short of money. What's more, he's a superhuman with special abilities. So you can't look at him with worldly eyes."

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Jinfu sighed and said, "You're right, I underestimated him. I never imagined that I would meet such a truly extraordinary person at the age of seventy. So, you must seize this opportunity and do everything you can to befriend him. He saved you twice, so he is a benefactor destined for you. You must take advantage of this."

Zhao Jinfu had said something similar to him before, so Zhao Xingrong could only smile wryly and say, "I know, he is my savior, and I will definitely befriend him. However, I think I shouldn't be too opportunistic or obvious, otherwise we won't be able to connect sincerely or for long. I really intend to be friends with him, to be friends despite the age gap, as long as I am sincere in my interactions with him."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jinfu instinctively wanted to retort, but ultimately held back. His nephew might not be particularly talented in other areas, but he was quite adept at making friends.

For example, when Zhao Xingrong was raising funds to kill Abuye, the news spread in his friends' group, and many of Zhao Xingrong's friends took the initiative to generously donate. Some donated millions, others tens of millions, and a quick calculation showed that it amounted to two or three hundred million. These were all loans based on personal relationships, without even an IOU, let alone collateral.

Of course, the money hasn't been raised yet. After all, he has already raised a lot of money, and the mining contract rights don't require an investment of two hundred million US dollars all at once; it can be done in installments.

In particular, this time Zhao Xingrong took it upon himself to apologize to Chen Feng behind his uncle's back and even gave Chen Feng collateral, thus obtaining guidance from the extraordinary Chen Feng and escaping death once again.

After this incident, Zhao Jinfu felt very guilty and scared, knowing that he had misjudged the situation twice.

The first time, despite having overestimated Chen Feng, I still harbored a侥幸心理 (a gambler's mentality) and tried to delay the promised 600 million yuan donation, almost offending Chen Feng to the point of no return. Looking at the current situation, if I had truly offended Chen Feng to the point of no return, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The second time was when he thought Abu Ye wouldn't retaliate against his nephew, but fortunately, Chen Feng helped and saved his nephew's life. Moreover, he learned from his nephew that Chen Feng, this extraordinary person, not only possessed the special ability of telepathy but also the ability to foresee good and bad fortune—an ability completely different from that of charlatans, capable of accurately predicting the specific dangers his nephew would face, including the time, place, and people involved. If his own nephew hadn't told him this himself, and if it hadn't come from Chen Feng, a proven supernatural being, he certainly wouldn't have believed it.

From these two mistakes, Zhao Jinfu realized that he was really getting old, and that his previous life experience and judgment had made serious errors.

Furthermore, since the Zhao family would eventually be handed over to Zhao Xingrong to lead, it was impossible for him not to relinquish control.

"Alright, then go ahead and befriend him as you see fit. When it comes to such extraordinary people, whatever else you do, you must be genuinely sincere in your friendship with them and not have too many ulterior motives. I was a bit naive before; he probably saw through our true purpose in giving away the shares at a glance. Sigh, I'm getting old, and my mind is getting a bit muddled. I always think things are too simple and underestimate people."

Zhao Jinfu reflected on this, a rare occurrence for him.

Although Zhao Xingrong agreed with her uncle's words, she didn't say it out loud. So she said, "Uncle, don't worry. He's taking good care of me now, sending me videos every day. He obviously considers me a friend. When I go back, I'll slowly get to know him better, and our relationship will definitely deepen over time."

"Yes, I believe in your ability to make friends. Once you've finished your business over there and come back, focus all your energy on making friends with him; that's the most important thing."

"Understood," Zhao Xingrong replied, then continued, "Brother Peng has already spread the word about the bounty on the Abuye leader, but so far there's been no response. Is something wrong? Has the message not reached the target audience yet?"

Zhao Jinfu said, "This news was only released yesterday, how long has it been? Even if some people are interested, they will definitely verify the news before taking any action. Let's wait and see, there's no need to rush. You also need to be careful. To prevent Abu Ye from retaliating against you in desperation, try not to go out. In addition, we need to further strengthen security."

“I have applied for protection from the local police, and they have sent me twenty fully armed officers, all equipped with automatic weapons. Mayor Julian personally intervened, so the $10 I gave them earlier was not wasted.”

"Hmm, that's not bad. Next, you should use this Julian to make contact with the higher-ups in Luzon. It's okay to spend a little more money."

"I know that this afternoon, Julian will take me to see his superior, the speaker of the provincial council, who is also the second-in-command of the province and wields considerable power. I just don't know if I can directly mobilize the local military and police forces through him to completely eliminate Abuye?"

Zhao Jinfu said, "Let's give it a try. If it works, it's worth it even if it costs one or two hundred million."

“Okay, if the opportunity is right this afternoon, I will talk to this second-in-command directly about this matter.” Zhao Xingrong made up his mind.

……

After ending his call with Zhao Xingrong, Chen Feng casually sent a video call invitation to Ji Hongsheng, who was still in Anxi.

Not long after, Ji Hongsheng answered the call, and the background showed that he was in an antique shop.

"Boss, perfect timing! I just arrived at the antique shop. They have a lot of jade items here. Why don't you take a look?"

As Ji Hongsheng spoke, he turned the camera around so that Chen Feng could see what was happening inside the antique shop.

"Okay, I'll take a look."

After agreeing, Chen Feng directed Ji Hongsheng to examine all the jade artifacts in the antique shop. The shop was very large, and the types of jade artifacts were all kinds: jade bi discs, jade cong tubes, jade gui tablets, jade pendants, jade bracelets, jade pendants, jade cups, jade bowls... The dazzling array of items made Chen Feng's eyes dazzled, but unfortunately, none of them were what he wanted—Chen Feng could not sense any special energy from these jade artifacts.

This disappointed Chen Feng somewhat. The ancient city of Anxi, being such a large city, should have preserved many genuine old artifacts.

As a result, Ji Hongsheng spent so much time there but still couldn't find anything that suited Chen Feng's taste.

On the contrary, even though Tang Mengjie hasn't made any significant progress in the past month or two, she at least managed to find some opportunities beforehand.

"Isn't there anything that suits your taste?"

Ji Hongsheng showed Chen Feng all the jade items in the antique shop on his phone, but Chen Feng didn't respond, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Old Ji, I think we don't need to look at these antique shops anymore. You should go to private collections or just ask around in the community to see if there are any old jade items. Prices are negotiable."

Ji Hongsheng was disappointed, but he still quickly agreed: "Okay, boss."

Ji Hongsheng wanted to gain the protection of Chen Feng, a man of great fortune, so he always kept a very humble attitude. Especially now that he was of no use to Chen Feng, he felt very uneasy.

"If you get tired of staying in Anxi, go somewhere else or just come back. There's no need to stay there forever."

"I understand. I'll stay here for a few more days. If I still haven't found something that satisfies you, then I'll leave."

"Well, you know what I'm doing. I don't need these things urgently, so you don't need to go to such lengths."

Ji Hongsheng said with a wry smile, "But I should do something for you, shouldn't I?"

Chen Feng laughed and said, "Didn't you help me deal with a lot of my collection before?" Ji Hongsheng shook his head and said, "That's hardly a contribution."

Chen Feng said, "In my eyes, this is a great achievement, so don't work too hard on yourself."

"I'm just traveling, what's so tiring about it?"

"Okay, that's enough. As long as you don't feel tired, that's fine."

"Boss, don't worry, I'm sure I can find something that will satisfy you."

"Okay. I've already checked for you; the next two days will be peaceful."

"Okay, thank you, boss."

……

After hanging up the call, Chen Feng couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Ji Hongsheng was, after all, a top-tier fortune teller, and considered a prominent figure in the capital.

But when they came to him, they not only willingly became his unpaid subordinates, but now they are even extremely respectful to him, completely losing the aloof image of the master they once had.

All I can say is that Ji Hongsheng was too afraid of losing his life.

Just as she was about to lie down on the bed, she thought of Qin Zhen.

Chen Feng certainly wouldn't tell Qin Zhen the story behind his promotion.

Another matter is Ning Wei. Since Chen Feng promised Qin Zhen, he must keep his word and not let him call him godfather for nothing.

So Chen Feng called Ning Wei.

When Ning Wei saw that it was Chen Feng's phone number, her heart jumped, but she still answered the call immediately.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, how can I help you?" He spoke in very standard, soft Mandarin.

Chen Feng didn't bother beating around the bush and said directly, "I'll deposit another 100 million in your bank, and you'll still be my exclusive account manager. But you can't harass Qin Zhen anymore. Can you do that? If you can't, I'll transfer all the money out immediately."

Ning Wei was stunned for a while before she reacted. Her feelings were complicated, and she sighed and said, "Okay, I promise you."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Okay, that's good. I know you were so excited and acted strangely yesterday because you found out about Qin Zhen's promotion, which is understandable. But you have to understand that some things and some people, once missed, can never be brought back. He's already married and about to have a child. It's unrealistic and impossible for you to go back to him and steal him away. Don't you agree?"

Ning Wei knew, of course, that it would be difficult to win Qin Zhen back, which was why she was in pain, but she still wanted to give it a try—what if she succeeded?

Qin Zhen was right about her. If Chen Feng hadn't made that call, Ning Wei would have gone straight to Qin Zhen after get off work that afternoon.

Now that Chen Feng, this "big shot," has intervened, Ning Wei had to temporarily abandon the idea after weighing the pros and cons.

Chen Feng's savings are really important to her now, as they directly affect her career.

The bank manager has personally intervened in the matter after Chen Feng transferred 40 million yuan. He implied that she must retain Chen Feng as a major client and try to get him to deposit more money or take out more loans from their bank.

So, after hearing Chen Feng's words, what else could Ning Wei say but agree, "You're right, once a man's heart has changed, it's very difficult to win him back."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng's lips twitched, and he spoke up for Qin Zhen, saying, "It wasn't his current wife's fault that he broke up with you back then. The main reason was that Qin Zhen and you were incompatible. Dating was fine, but marriage was not. After all, it's a lifelong commitment, so it's normal that he hesitated and didn't agree to you back then."

Ning Wei certainly didn't like hearing this, and couldn't help but say, "But he can't just get together with that Wang Xuelin behind my back, can he?"

Chen Feng said, "He didn't do it behind your back. It was only after you announced your breakup with him that he got back together with his ex-girlfriend Wang Xuelin, and it was Wang Xuelin who took the initiative."

Ning Wei became even more furious upon hearing this, and raised her voice, saying, "When I said I wanted to break up with him, it was just something I said in anger!"

Chen Feng said speechlessly, "You already said you were breaking up, and then you blocked him. You haven't contacted each other for over half a month. Doesn't that count as breaking up?"

Qin Zhen had mentioned this to him while they were drinking last night; Chen Feng had no idea before.

Ning Wei was speechless.

"That's settled then. I'll transfer the money to the account soon and make it a hundred million. I'll use this account frequently in the future. Anyway, as long as you promise not to harass Qin Zhen anymore, this account will have a considerable annual turnover, which will obviously benefit you."

Chen Feng was too lazy to waste any more words with her. As long as Ning Wei behaved herself and stopped harassing Qin Zhen, his goal would be achieved.

Ning Wei felt a little better after hearing Chen Feng's words—if Chen Feng could raise another 100 million, she would undoubtedly be the outstanding employee again this year; and she could take the opportunity to try for the position of department manager early next year.

"Qin Zhen is truly blessed to have you as a friend. Does he know what you've done for him?"

Ning Wei's mood improved, and her tone became more relaxed.

Chen Feng didn't want to say that Qin Zhen had called him godfather because of this, so he just said, "He's my only friend, so of course I should treat him well. Besides, I have plenty of money anyway, so it doesn't matter which bank I put it in. It's not a bad thing to put it in the bank where you work to help him solve his problem."

"Thank you. However, I actually had no intention of bothering Qin Zhen. After all, as you just said, once it's missed, it's missed, and there's no going back." Ning Wei tried to salvage her image in Chen Feng's mind.

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng couldn't help but retort, "Do you even believe that yourself? Qin Zhen said you're a very stubborn person who won't give up until you achieve your goal."

Ning Wei said irritably, "He's talking about himself, isn't he!"

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Alright, since you've agreed, don't go back on your word, and don't even think about trying to raise the price. You should know my situation; if I wanted to deal with you, it wouldn't be too difficult. But you are Qin Zhen's ex-girlfriend after all, so I'm using this gentle approach. You should understand how much I, as a client, can help your work and career, so don't try anything funny, understand?"

These words were too blunt, and Ning Wei was naturally very uncomfortable listening to them. However, she did know some things about Chen Feng—he was an ultra-high-net-worth client and the owner of Fengmang Films. Moreover, she had also heard some rumors that Chen Feng had fought with Qitian Media, and as a result, Qitian Media, a leading company in the domestic film and television industry, was defeated and almost went out of business.

Therefore, as soon as Chen Feng made it clear, she immediately backed down.

"Understood. I won't bother Qin Zhen anymore," Ning Wei said in a muffled voice. Of course, she was still somewhat unwilling, but she was powerless to resist being suppressed by a big shot like Chen Feng.

"Well, that's it."

After saying that, Chen Feng hung up the phone.

Next, Chen Feng called the account manager at Citibank, and then, through online banking and a series of operation commands, it took him more than half an hour to complete the transfer of $1000 million, which was directly transferred to Xiuzhou Bank.

Not long after, Ning Wei called back excitedly to confirm.

After receiving confirmation from Chen Feng, Ning Wei expressed her gratitude again. Chen Feng didn't say anything more, and after a few perfunctory words, he hung up the phone.

Ning Wei's excitement and joy are completely understandable, because every bank is currently short of US dollars, and this $1000 million is a significant achievement for her. If she could achieve this once or twice more, she believes she could successfully become a department manager within the year. (End of Chapter)
