After the divorce, I started to transfer

"You really had a fight?" Gong Huize immediately became interested and quickly asked, "What did you two fight about? It wasn't because he hasn't seen you these past few days, was it?"

It has to be said that Gong Huize has a very keen eye for detail. She hadn't seen Chen Feng and Zhao Zixuan meet in the past week. Zhao Zixuan had been going to work almost every day, and after get off work she came home with her; she hadn't gone out on dates with Chen Feng either.

In Gong Huize's view, this was rather normal. After all, Chen Feng was such a womanizer, and Zhao Zixuan wasn't his only woman. Moreover, Chen Feng was a big boss, so he must have had many other social engagements.

So, she hadn't expected Zhao Zixuan to argue with Chen Feng just because they hadn't seen each other for a few days. But now, after a quick look and a little guess, she knew Zhao Zixuan's temperament and knew why the two had quarreled.

Ultimately, Chen Feng was Zhao Zixuan's first love. Therefore, even though Zhao Zixuan knew that Chen Feng was now a womanizer, she still subconsciously wanted to treat him as her boyfriend.

Living so close to each other, from his girlfriend's perspective, it's a bit much for Chen Feng not to see her for almost a week. But for Chen Feng's other women, not seeing each other for a few days is actually quite normal.

After all, Chen Feng had given Zhao Zixuan real money, 4000 million yuan at that. Most men couldn't do that; either they lacked the ability or the money, or even if they did, they wouldn't be willing to spend it.

Zhao Zixuan was even more impressed that Gong Huize had guessed correctly again, and she also felt that Gong Huize was more reliable. So she did not deny it and nodded, saying, "That's the main reason. It's been a week since we last met, and he basically doesn't reply to my messages. Don't you think that's a bit much?"

Upon hearing Zhao Zixuan's words, Gong Huize, unusually, defended Chen Feng: "You're going too far by talking about him like that. You already knew he didn't only have you as a woman; he lived with two others. Besides, there were other women. He can't possibly spend all his energy and time on you. Moreover, he's a big boss with his own social circle and network, which he needs to maintain. He must have a lot of social engagements, so it's quite normal that he hasn't seen you for a week. If you're using the standards of a boyfriend to judge him, it's unfair to him, because he's not your boyfriend, and you're not his girlfriend. You need to understand your own position first."

After listening, Zhao Zixuan remained silent for a while, without refuting, but asked directly, "I feel that she doesn't care about me as much as before. Do you have any way to make her care about me more? Or, to make her value me like before, at least contact me every few days, and preferably see me often."

Upon hearing this, Gong Huize felt a surge of pride. One of the key reasons she persuaded Zhao Zixuan to let her stay here was that she could act as Zhao Zixuan's love strategist and help her win over Chen Feng's heart.

Although Zhao Zixuan hadn't admitted it before, nor had she sought her advice much, it was because her relationship with Chen Feng was still quite good at the time, and there was no need for it. But now that she and Chen Feng had argued and their relationship was experiencing some setbacks, she finally couldn't help but seek her advice and help.

Gong Huize: "Zixuan, if you listen to me, the first thing you need to do is give up your old, straightforward way of speaking. When you're interacting with other people, because of your status and position, you can be so direct. But when you're with your boyfriend or the man you like, this personality just doesn't suit you. Most men don't like that kind of personality in women. And women don't really like men who are too direct either; it's the same for both men and women."

Just like today, I don't even need to guess to know that you were complaining on the phone about Chen Feng not coming to see you these past few days, and then you got into an argument. Think about it carefully, if you switched roles, if he kept complaining to you on the phone, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable? Of course not, so when you complain to him like that, he definitely feels uncomfortable too.

What you did not solve the problem; instead, it made him develop a negative opinion of you. If this happens too often, he will definitely want to break up with you. After all, a man like him is handsome, rich, and has no shortage of other women. You don't really hold a very important place in his heart, do you understand what I mean?

Hearing this, Zhao Zixuan, while not entirely agreeing, basically accepted it. Although she had never been in a relationship before, she knew these basic psychological aspects of male-female interactions. So she nodded and said, "Your suggestion is alright, I accept it, it's just that my personality is sometimes hard to change."

Gong Huize said, "Then try your best to change. At least don't talk to him in such a complaining tone anymore. Nobody likes being complained about. Secondly, if you want him to like you more and value you more, you need to provide him with more emotional value and enjoyment. Do you understand what I mean? First, you need to say nice things to him and make him happy. Second, you need to let him get more and greater pleasure and enjoyment from you, both physically and psychologically."

If he experiences great pleasure, both physically and mentally, when he's with you, he'll definitely be unable to leave you. To achieve this, firstly, you need to know how to make a man happy; secondly, you need to exercise, do yoga, and sculpt a perfect body. Also, you need to learn some techniques for pleasing men.

There's a lot you can learn in this area, since you probably didn't know anything about it before. You can find some related materials online to learn from, you know, like those Japanese films and television shows. Of course, a lot of it is just acting, and it doesn't have much practical value, but there are still many things worth learning. If you don't understand, I can teach you. We're best friends, and I can tell you the truth: the reason why several of my exes have been able to keep me infatuated over the years, besides being pretty, having a good figure, and knowing how to charm men, is also because of my skills in that area, you know?

Zhao Zixuan blushed slightly upon hearing this. Ultimately, compared to a knowledgeable and experienced woman like Gong Huize, she was really no different from a novice. Gong Huize, on the other hand, remained calm, and it was clear she was teaching seriously.

"Those concubines who gained favor in the imperial harem in ancient times were all skilled at pleasing the emperor or had great expertise in seduction. Your current situation is not much different from that of those concubines in the ancient harem. Chen Feng has more than one woman around him, and almost every one of them is vying for his favor. You are one of them now, and to stand out, you must have your own unique skills. Either you can make Chen Feng happy and give him enough emotional value, or you can make him infatuated with your body and make him unable to forget you. If a woman wants to keep a man, it's really just these two things."

What Gong Huize said can be considered her practical experience, and it seems she has been quite successful in this area. Although what she said was somewhat blunt, it was also very realistic and highly practical for women.

So Zhao Zixuan didn't criticize anything, but instead asked seriously, "Then what do you think I should do next?"

Gong Huize chuckled twice and said, "As I just said, first of all, you need to change your temper. When you're with him in the future, you should try your best to go along with him, don't argue with him, and definitely don't complain about him. Like this time, even though he hasn't seen you for a week, you could have called him and said you missed him terribly, acted a little coquettish, and said a few sweet words. If you even cried a little, he would definitely soften. That's called using gentleness to overcome strength. But you didn't do that and instead complained about him. How can he feel comfortable? So even if he wants to come, because of what you said, he might not come."

Secondly, when you go home, do yoga and skincare like I do. Also, do some squats, glute exercises, and other exercises; this will be very beneficial for both of you. Furthermore, as I mentioned before, you need to learn the necessary skills, including from Japanese videos and from me.

"You can gradually practice and train with him. Over time, he'll definitely become inseparable from you. You might not be able to win his heart in a month or two, but if you persist for a year and a half, or even a year or two, I can guarantee you a high probability of success. Once he can't live without you, even if you try to pressure him into marriage, he might agree."

Gong Huize's words came from the bottom of her heart, and she genuinely wanted to help Zhao Zixuan. Besides their good relationship—they were business partners and lived together—she also had her own little selfish motives.

Because she undoubtedly harbored feelings for Chen Feng, a man so outstanding in every way, she was clever enough to know that even if she practically threw herself at him, he would most likely not accept her, much less even notice her. Therefore, if she wanted to get close to Chen Feng, or even sleep with him, she had to go through Zhao Zixuan, the middleman. If Zhao Zixuan broke up with Chen Feng, she would inevitably lose any chance of getting involved with him.

Zhao Zixuan basically accepted all of Gong Huize's methods for winning a man's heart. She could tell that what he said was full of practical advice and highly actionable; she could start implementing it right away.

Zhao Zixuan: "Okay, from now on I'll learn from you. You love applying face masks, so I'll start applying face masks too. When you do yoga, you can ask me to join you."

Gong Huize: "Okay, your skin is pretty good, but you still need to take care of it. The face mask I'm using now was brought back from Paris by a friend. It's very moisturizing, you can try it."

Gong Huize acted very generously.

This made Zhao Zixuan feel a little guilty, since she had previously made things difficult for the other party. So she said, "I won't let you help me for nothing. From now on, I'll take care of all the meals for the three of us. We'll hire a housekeeper to cook for us."

Gong Huize was overjoyed and quickly said, "That's great. I've had enough of cooking and cleaning the house ourselves. You know, when I lived with my boyfriend, he was always the one who did all the housework. Of course, I didn't do any cleaning when I lived with my parents. When I lived alone, I always hired a cleaning lady."

Zhao Zixuan: "Alright, I know. Do you think I like cooking? Especially now that I have to work, I'm exhausted every day after get off work. I still have to cook and clean when I get home. Where do I have the energy and time? How about this, it would be best to find a live-in housekeeper who can take care of cleaning and cooking for us. I'll pay for it."

Gong Huize then asked, "If that's the case, it's fine for me, but wouldn't it be a bit awkward for Sister Lihui?"

Zhao Zixuan: "Sister Lihui's cooking skills are actually quite good. She's been cooking and preparing meals for us every night these past few days. I only thought of hiring a housekeeper because I saw how hard she works. If she's embarrassed to offer to pay, I definitely can't accept it. After all, I didn't take your money, so naturally I can't take hers either. If she really feels bad about it, then let her be responsible for paying the monthly water, electricity, and property management fees."

The total cost of utilities and property management fees is at most a little over a thousand yuan per month, which is definitely less than the cost of sharing a live-in nanny.

Gong Huize smiled and nodded: "That's a good idea."

Shi Huili didn't have her thick skin. Besides, she and Zhao Zixuan used to be best friends who could talk about anything, so it was only natural and normal for her to take advantage of Zhao Zixuan. Shi Huili and Zhao Zixuan, on the other hand, were just colleagues before.

Now that Shi Huili is living in this villa for free, she'd feel embarrassed if she also had a nanny cooking for her for free. She had previously offered to pay the utility bills, but Zhao Zixuan hadn't agreed. Now that they're hiring a nanny, Zhao Zixuan has readily agreed, so Shi Huili will likely accept it.

The next day, Sunday, it was still raining outside. Chen Feng, of course, didn't go for a run.

Although Xiao Panpan knew from the weather forecast yesterday that it would rain today, she was still in a bad mood. At 8 o'clock in the morning, she first took a picture of the rain outside and sent it to Chen Feng, and then took a picture of herself exercising in tight yoga clothes and sent it to Chen Feng as well.

After seeing the photos she sent, Chen Feng didn't reply. At that moment, he was already sitting in the training room, video chatting with Zhao Xingrong, who was still in Luzon. The two had been video chatting every day for over half a month, and their relationship had become very close. Zhao Xingrong would tell him anything, and it was basically the same old stuff they'd been talking about.

Firstly, regarding the mine negotiations, progress is going smoothly. They've successfully negotiated a significant reduction in the mine contract price through financial lobbying. The main point of contention now lies in the contract term. The original regulations in Luzon stipulated a maximum of 50 years, but they want 70 years of mining rights, and the two sides are currently grappling with this issue. He's confident he'll ultimately secure the 70-year contract. Ultimately, regulations are rules, but people are flexible. If the money is right and most of the decision-makers are persuaded, then the difference between 50 and 70 years isn't that significant; the rules can be changed.

Once this matter is settled, both sides can formally sign the contract, and he can return to China sooner.

Another thing that worries Zhao Xingrong is Abuye, the leader who has fled abroad. This guy is a real leader of a violent organization, or even an armed terrorist organization. As long as he is not caught and dead, Zhao Xingrong and his uncle Zhao Jinfu will not be at ease.

After all, Zhao Xingrong had been arrested and imprisoned by this boss, Abuye, and the psychological trauma he carried was immense. He probably wouldn't sleep soundly a day long as the boss remained alive. Chen Feng understood Zhao Xingrong's routine worries, but he wouldn't help him with these matters anymore.

After Zhao Xingrong finished his video call, Chen Feng video-called Ji Hongsheng. This time, Ji Hongsheng had traveled to a small county in Qin Province. He'd somehow heard that there was an antique ghost market in the county, held every fifteenth of the month. So he wanted to come and see if he could find any good stuff there.

Chen Feng told him to come back after he finished arranging this schedule, otherwise, if his calamity really came one day and Chen Feng wasn't by his side, he might not be able to help him.

Ji Hongsheng, who had initially seemed timid, appeared quite open-minded after hearing Chen Feng's concerns. He expressed his complete trust in Chen Feng's "super intuition." If Chen Feng didn't sense his impending doom, he would be fine. If he did sense it, Chen Feng only needed to tell him, and he could quickly escape.

Of course, avoiding it once or twice might not be enough. Ultimately, to truly escape this calamity, he needed the genuine protection of Chen Feng, a man of great fortune. This was the fundamental reason he was willing to bring his own food and work for Chen Feng—his aim was to gain Chen Feng's heartfelt acceptance. (End of Chapter)
