After the divorce, I started to transfer

It can only be said that Ji Hongsheng was really unlucky. He spent a week in Yunnan Province last time, visiting five or six counties and cities, and also visited some local calligraphers, painters and photographers, but he did not find what Chen Feng wanted.

So yesterday, he went to this small county in Qin Province and even inquired about the antique ghost market. Not to mention Chen Feng had already lost much confidence in him, he himself didn't have much confidence either; he could only give it a try.

Chen Feng advised him to return to Xiuzhou if he didn't find anything this time. But Ji Hongsheng was still reluctant. According to him, he had to find at least one more thing that would satisfy Chen Feng, otherwise he would seem too incompetent.

Seeing that he insisted, Chen Feng had no choice but to let him do as he pleased.

Emerging from the practice room and arriving in the living room, I saw Sun Xiaorui already busy in the kitchen with the hired cook. Wu Mengting was coming home today, and Wu Mengting particularly enjoyed some of Sun Xiaorui's cooking, so Sun Xiaorui had joined in the cooking.

Chen Feng checked the time; it was 10:00 AM. Wu Mengting had messaged him earlier, saying they were leaving at 7:30. Calculating the time, it was almost time.

Sure enough, after waiting for about ten minutes, Chen Feng heard a car horn outside the villa. Then the villa gate opened, and Wu Mengting's BMW drove in.

Chen Feng saw her through the floor-to-ceiling window, stood up from the sofa, and walked over. Reaching the steps at the front door, he saw Wu Mengting getting out of her car with a bag.

Wu Mengting also saw Chen Feng, smiled at him, and said loudly, "I brought some local specialties from over there, they're all in the trunk, come and get them."

Chen Feng smiled and walked down the steps to greet her, saying with a smile, "Was it really necessary to bring local specialties?"

Wu Mengting smiled and said, "I didn't buy these myself. It was an assistant director from the film crew. His wife is from Shanghai, and knowing I was coming back, she specially bought these things for me. They're mainly local specialties from Shanghai, like xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), spiced beans, and drunken mud snails. You can try them. There are also fresh meat mooncakes, butterfly pastries, and things like that. They also gave me two local jade carvings, which are also considered local specialties. Take them all out."

Chen Feng didn't say anything more and went to open the trunk of the BMW. Inside were many bags and packages, indeed quite a lot of things. Among them were two nicely crafted jade carvings: one a reclining rabbit, and the other a peony symbolizing wealth and prosperity. Both had auspicious meanings.

Chen Feng didn't understand the value of this jade carving, but it looked quite expensive. It could only be said that the assistant director had really spent a lot of money this time.

Chen Feng couldn't carry it all by himself, so he had to make two trips to get everything into the living room.

At this moment, Sun Xiaorui also saw Wu Mengting and came out to meet her. The two chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, just like sisters.

Sun Xiaorui still had one dish to finish cooking, so after chatting and laughing with Wu Mengting for a while, she went back to the kitchen to get busy.

Only Wu Mengting and Chen Feng remained in the living room. Chen Feng asked with a hint of concern, "Is everything going well for you over there?"

Wu Mengting nodded: "I told you before, everything is going smoothly there, and the filming is progressing very well. There haven't been any problems with the crew. I've been eating and living well there. I just visit the set every day, host a debriefing meeting, and talk to the directors about specific filming issues. Life is actually quite leisurely, not tiring at all."

Chen Feng nodded: "That's good. Now that you're practically the boss of the company, you don't need to do everything yourself anymore. You can delegate some things to your subordinates, including writing scripts. Even if you want to write scripts in the future, you don't need to rush. You can take your time and only release one a year at most."

"You release several films a year, and you always have to stay up all night writing scripts. That's not good for your health. We're not short of money now, you don't need to push yourself like that anymore."

Although Wu Mengting knew that Chen Feng was concerned about her, she still didn't agree with his thoughts and actions. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and said, "I'm not like you. You can relax and spend your days chasing girls. I have to think about the future of our company and all the employees who eat with us. Besides, I'm still so young. I don't want to retire early like you."

Hearing her say that, Chen Feng could only awkwardly touch his nose and shake his head, saying, "Then it's up to you. I'm just worried about your health and don't want you to be so tired. But since you want to continue working hard, I, as your big boss, am naturally happy to oblige. In the end, you're making money for me and working hard for me."

Wu Mengting snorted twice and said, "You know that's good. I work so hard and struggle so much, isn't it all for our company? Indirectly, it's also for you to make money. Even if you only give me 10% of the shares, you're still the one who profits."

Chen Feng smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, our company is entirely thanks to you. Without your scripts and your supervision, our company couldn't have produced so many popular and highly-rated hit dramas. It's all thanks to you."

"If you're willing, I can give you an extra one percent or five percent of the shares every year, or even give you the entire company right now."

Hearing his words, Wu Mengting couldn't help but laugh: "That sounds nice, but you know perfectly well that I can't accept such a gift from you all at once."

Chen Feng shook his head: "You know, I sincerely want to give you the whole company. Just promise not to leave me for the rest of your life. Of course, you can't force me to marry you."

Wu Mengting rolled her eyes at him, said nothing more, and instead picked up her phone to send a few messages to let him know she was safe.

After sending the message, she looked up at Chen Feng and said, "Your mom said she hasn't seen me in a long time and wants to meet me. She'd prefer you take me back with you; she probably misses you too."

Chen Feng thought to himself, "My mom doesn't miss me at all. We just met in Xiuzhou recently."

Of course, Chen Feng wouldn't be foolish enough to talk about this, since his parents hadn't met Wu Mengting when they came to Xiuzhou before; they had come to see their two grandchildren.

"How about we go back during the National Day holiday and stay at home for a few days? You're filming now, and I have some things to do too, so we don't have time to go back to our hometown."

Upon hearing this, Wu Mengting frowned slightly and said, "Xiuzhou isn't that far from our hometown; it's only a three or four-hour drive. You can go during the day and come back at night. You don't have anything to do on Saturdays and Sundays. No matter how many women you have, you don't work. Is it so difficult to take a day or two to go home?"

Chen Feng was somewhat speechless at the question. To be honest, he was a little reluctant to go back to his hometown because if he did, he would be subject to his mother's control. Going back home meant enduring his mother's nagging every day. Although sometimes it felt quite heartwarming, being nagged by his mother every day probably wouldn't be very pleasant.

Besides, times have changed. His relatives and friends back home now know he's made a fortune, and they'll likely come over one by one.

Some people might enjoy being surrounded and flattered by friends and family—the so-called triumphant return home. But Chen Feng didn't enjoy this treatment. He had already experienced it before, and receiving it again made him feel uncomfortable and out of place. This was the main reason he didn't really want to go back to his hometown.

After a moment of silence, Wu Mengting said directly, "How about this, next Saturday. You set off from Xiuzhou, and I'll set off from Shanghai. We'll meet up in Lushi city and then go to your hometown, Qingpu Town."

Chen Feng didn't want to refuse outright, so he said, "Let's see. If I'm free next Saturday, I'll do as you say."

Seeing that he didn't immediately agree, Wu Mengting was a little unhappy, but still nodded, "Okay, let's see next Saturday. I hope you won't have anything urgent to do then, so you can come back with me." The two chatted casually about other things, mainly about Hao Xiaolian joining their company. It was clear that with the addition of this veteran top agent, as well as Yan Baiqiu's previous joining, Wu Mengting was very confident in the company's future development and had even greater ambitions to make Fengmang Films bigger and stronger.

Chen Feng didn't particularly reject or hinder her ambition. In fact, it was a good thing for him. At least it meant she would focus most of her attention on her career, and thus wouldn't interfere too much in his romantic life.

Soon, Sun Xiaorui invited them over for dinner. The table was laden with more than a dozen dishes, most of which were Wu Mengting's favorites, including three dishes that Sun Xiaorui had cooked for her.

The three of them sat down together to eat, chatting and laughing, creating a rare lively and warm atmosphere. This was probably because the two women had been separated for a while and then reunited.

If they were like before, going to and from get off work together every day and having dinner together, they wouldn't have talked so much. Now that they've been apart for a while and are meeting again, they have a lot more to say to each other.

During this time, Chen Feng, the male host, didn't say much. It was mainly Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui who were talking, and Chen Feng only chimed in a few words when they mentioned or asked about him.

The meal lasted almost an hour. Afterwards, the three of them sat on the sofa watching TV, drinking tea, and chatting. It was still mostly the two women talking, with Chen Feng keeping them company. About half an hour later, Wu Mengting went upstairs to take a shower.

After watching her go upstairs, Sun Xiaorui said to Chen Feng, "She said she might have to go back tomorrow morning; the film crew can't do without her. Spend more time with her today."

Chen Feng nodded without saying anything. He hadn't seen Wu Mengting for a while, and they hadn't done "that" since.

Chen Feng did miss her somewhat, but not mainly because of that. Besides, Wu Mengting's performance in that area had always been terrible, completely unable to satisfy him.

For a time, Wu Mengting did consider having a child with Chen Feng, but after several attempts, her belly didn't seem to be responding. Gradually, she gave up. After all, she was still young, and she hadn't suffered any trauma before, so she wouldn't be so eager to have a child.

Chen Feng, of course, wasn't in a rush to have her have a child. So, the two tacitly let the matter drop.

Now that Wu Mengting has agreed not to pressure him into marriage anymore, she probably doesn't want any more children. Naturally, Chen Feng doesn't need to go all out when he's with her.

So when it really comes time to do *that* tonight, Chen Feng will be able to handle it easily and completely maintain his composure.

This way, it won't affect his plans to conceive with Lin Yujiao that he made for tomorrow.

After spending another ten minutes or so with Sun Xiaorui downstairs, Chen Feng went upstairs as well. She first went back to her room to take a shower, and then, wearing a bathrobe, went to knock on Wu Mengting's door.

After hearing Wu Mengting's voice from inside, Chen Feng pushed open the door and entered. At this moment, Wu Mengting had just finished showering and dried her hair. She was also wrapped in a bathrobe and standing in front of a full-length mirror combing her hair.

Chen Feng went over and hugged her from behind. Wu Mengting tilted her head back and gently rested it on his shoulder.

"It's good to be back. I feel much more relaxed at home," Wu Mengting said softly.

Chen Feng felt a pang of sympathy and couldn't help but say, "I've told you before, you don't need to push yourself so hard right now. Our company has already reached a sufficient size; there's no need to be so aggressive or rush to expand it further. Too much of a good thing can be bad. We should focus on building a solid foundation now."

Wu Mengting said, "Right now, I'm taking a steady and solid approach, building up our company's foundation step by step. Our company's foundation right now is TV drama production, which is also our core strength. So, as a screenwriter, I still need to continue writing scripts. Of course, as you said, I don't need to write several a year anymore."

Going forward, I'll write a maximum of two books a year. I've already written one this year, and I plan to write another in the second half. If I don't have good inspiration or the script isn't good enough, I won't force it. One book a year is enough. In addition, our company needs to further strengthen its recruitment of skilled screenwriters; with collective wisdom, we should be able to produce some good scripts.”

Chen Feng sighed and said, "You're still a bit too career-driven. Of course, it's not that it's a bad thing, I'm just worried that you're overworking yourself."

Wu Mengting: "It's good to be tired. Being tired means I'm working hard, and it means my struggle and hard work are worthwhile. At the same time, I don't have to think about the relationship between you and me all the time."

Chen Feng knew exactly what she was talking about. Wu Mengting's hard work might, as she said, be a way to distract her from constantly thinking about the emotional entanglement between the two of them.

Chen Feng felt somewhat guilty. He turned her body around so they were facing each other, then gently kissed her forehead and said, "I owe you something emotionally, but I'm willing to spend my whole life trying to make it up to you. After we've been apart these past few days, I've come to terms with it. If I let you leave me like this, I might be in a lot of pain."

So, I want to keep you by my side forever, but I can't marry you. I won't marry anyone else; I won't get married at all. But without a doubt, you are the woman I love most right now. I can't bear to let you leave, and I don't want you to leave. Do you understand what I mean?

During the days he was separated from Wu Mengting, Chen Feng had indeed given it some thought. There was no doubt that he still loved Wu Mengting more than he resented her.

So even though Wu Mengting had acted very assertively before, sometimes even making him very unhappy, he still tolerated it. Ultimately, Chen Feng still liked her very much.

He had previously given Wu Mengting a choice, one of which was for her to leave him, but that was a last resort. If Wu Mengting had actually chosen to leave him, Chen Feng might have gone back on his word.

Love is a strange thing. Although Wu Mengting is beautiful, has a good temperament, and is well-educated, her personality isn't exactly great. Especially compared to the gentle and charming Sun Xiaorui, Wu Mengting seems rather domineering.

But if you ask Chen Feng which of the two women he prefers, without a doubt it's Wu Mengting.

It wasn't just because Wu Mengting was with him in the first place—not because of his money, but because of him as a person. Nor was it just because Wu Mengting remained devoted to him after learning he had a terminal illness, even shedding tears several times over.

The main reason was the genuine joy and affection Chen Feng felt when he was with her. This alone made her stand out from the other women.

Chen Feng certainly had moments of pleasure with other women, but the intensity of that pleasure was different. Of all the women he had, the sense of satisfaction he felt was strongest when he was cuddling and kissing Wu Mengting in private.

This can only mean that Chen Feng and Wu Mengting have the most compatible human magnetic fields. (End of this chapter)
