After the divorce, I started to transfer

Zhou Qianru is already on her way.

Although she still harbored some resentment towards Chen Feng, after receiving his WeChat message, she truthfully told him about Chu Xiaoling's current condition.

More than a month has passed since Chen Feng last inquired about Chu Xiaoling's condition.

There are currently no signs of her condition worsening, but there hasn't been much improvement either. It's fair to say that Chu Xiaoling is still in the stage of using money to save her life. Without continued treatment, her condition could deteriorate. Given her current physical condition, returning to school is almost impossible, as she needs at least three treatments a month at a hospital in Houston, all of which require significant financial support.

Of course, all the money came from Chen Feng. Although Chen Feng didn't care much, Chu Xiaoling felt a heavy weight in her heart and kept a record of each expense in her notebook, planning to repay Chen Feng for the money he spent on her medical treatment when she recovered and earned money.

It was clear that Chu Xiaoling was very grateful to Chen Feng. Zhou Qianru, having spent a considerable amount of time with Chu Xiaoling, whether out of sympathy or out of affection that had developed over time, also showed considerable care and concern for her. She spoke highly of Chu Xiaoling on WeChat, hoping that Chen Feng would continue to fund Chu Xiaoling's treatment.

Although Chen Feng owed Chu Xiaoling nothing—in fact, Chu Xiaoling owed him a great deal—he still felt a slight pang of guilt after hearing about her current situation. The reason was simple: Chen Feng was fully capable of curing her now, but he hadn't immediately used his own blood to treat her to avoid the trouble. Now, suddenly remembering her was merely a convenient, albeit accidental, act.

One of the reasons was also because of Zhou Qianru; he didn't want her to be distracted by Chu Xiaoling's matter. After all, Zhou Qianru would be handling his agency for the "Qiming Charity Foundation," and Chen Feng didn't want her to be too overworked.

So Chen Feng told her that he knew a super-rich man in the area who had a very powerful medical team that could cure leukemia, and he wanted Chu Xiaoling to come and give it a try.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qianru was naturally overjoyed and immediately agreed, inquiring about the details. Chen Feng explained everything to her. After understanding the situation, Zhou Qianru eagerly stated that she would immediately have Miao Na bring Chu Xiaoling to Los Angeles to join everyone, and then Chen Feng would take Chu Xiaoling to seek medical treatment.

It's clear that Zhou Qianru is very concerned and enthusiastic about this matter. She also sincerely hopes that Chu Xiaoling can recover soon and start a new life.

When the two had finished their conversation, Zhou Qianru's car arrived at Chen Feng's hotel. Soon after, Zhou Qianru stood before him.

After looking at each other for a while, Chen Feng spoke first: "Sister, I'll be relying on you for my charity foundation from now on."

Zhou Qianru's previously serious expression immediately relaxed, and she smiled, saying, "I can only keep an eye on things for you at most. You know I know nothing about management or businesses. Just like you told me before, all I need to do is keep an eye on the flow of funds in the foundation. I do have some experience in managing money."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "That's right. You just need to manage the foundation's money for me. Of course, you don't need to keep an eye on it all the time, just keep an eye on the general direction. Jenny is a professional; she has many years of experience in auditing. You two should communicate more in the future. With her assistance, the foundation should be able to operate very well under your management."

Jenny then politely stepped forward, shook hands with Zhou Qianru, and said to her in Mandarin with a thick Hokkien accent, "From now on, you will be my boss and leader. Please take good care of me."

When Zhou Qianru saw that this foreigner was speaking Minnan dialect, she couldn't help but chuckle and nodded, saying, "Let's look out for each other. The foundation's affairs mainly depend on you. I'm mainly just a mascot, at most managing the overall direction and keeping an eye on the flow of funds, as Chen Feng said."

"You're too kind. Anyway, we'll work together to manage this foundation well."

“Yes, that’s what I meant too.” After saying that, the two women smiled at each other, clearly having reached some kind of tacit understanding.

Tang Xinyi, who had been silent all along, finally walked over and gave Zhou Qianru a light hug, saying with a smile, "Sister Qianru, we haven't seen each other for so long, we should have a good chat later."

A hint of unease flashed across Zhou Qianru's face as she shook her head and said, "Let's hurry up and get the foundation's work going. How about we go to the foundation's office now? I've only seen it online before, and I haven't been there in person."

Jenny immediately said, "I have no objection." After saying that, she looked at Chen Feng.

The foundation's office space was chosen by Jenny through Chen Feng's previous request; it is located in an office building in San Francisco's bustling business district.

Chen Feng immediately responded, "Okay, let's go take a look now. We can hold a plenary meeting there."

Since Chen Feng had said so, Tang Xinyi naturally wouldn't object. So the four of them went together in the hotel's limousine.

The office of the Qiming Charity Foundation is not far from the hotel, only a ten-minute walk away.

Although Chen Feng and the foundation are not short of money, following Jenny's advice and with a budget-conscious approach, the office space is not very large, totaling only about 200 square meters. This is undoubtedly very stingy for a foundation with a scale of several hundred million US dollars. In reality, this charitable foundation does not need that many staff members and office space.

After the four sat down in the conference room, they held their first general meeting of the foundation. After a brief discussion, they unanimously agreed to recruit only about 20 staff members in the near future. These would primarily be financial staff, such as auditors, cashiers, accountants, and budget officers. In addition, there would be administrative staff, including liaisons, human resources managers, records managers, receptionists, cleaners, etc.—simply to establish the basic structure of a charitable foundation.

After all, their charity foundation's only current charitable project is the "Free Children's Lunch Program," which is implemented within China. The headquarters in San Francisco doesn't actually implement any specific charitable projects; it's just a framework. The real money is spent in China.

Therefore, an office will need to be established in China, and the staff there might even be more than at the headquarters. This will include volunteer management and specific promotion and liaison work. This will require a significant number of people; the more people the better to promote and implement this charity project as quickly as possible, as Tang Xinyi alone certainly cannot handle it all.

The plenary meeting lasted less than an hour, and the four of them quickly finalized the specific work details and the specific tasks to be carried out next.

After the meeting, everyone took a short walk around the office. It's only 200 square meters. Besides the common office area, there are only five rooms: one for the president, two for the vice presidents, and one that could be used as a meeting room, with the other's use yet to be determined. Chen Feng entrusted Zhou Qianru and Jenny with the responsibility for this space.

Soon, the four of them came out of the office building and, guided by Jenny, went to a Mexican restaurant not far away for dinner.

It was already 7:30 pm, but the sun hadn't set yet and it was still bright. At this time of year, it wouldn't get completely dark until 8:30 pm.

Locals here usually eat dinner around 8 PM. But none of the three of them, including Chen Feng, have the habit of eating dinner that late, so eating around 7 PM is just right.

During the meal, Jenny and Zhou Qianru chatted quite happily, while Tang Xinyi didn't say much, and Chen Feng didn't say anything either.

After the four finished their meal, they returned to the hotel. Although Zhou Qianru felt a little sorry for the more than one thousand US dollars a night at the other hotel, she still chose to stay at the same hotel as Chen Feng. She checked in at the lobby downstairs and chose a room next to Chen Feng's.

After going upstairs, the four of them, without tacitly agreeing, went to Chen Feng's room together. This time, Tang Xinyi joined the conversation of the other two women, chatting and laughing, appearing quite harmonious and happy.

It wasn't until around 9:30 p.m. that Jenny received a call from her family and took her leave. Once she was gone, the atmosphere in the room quieted down a bit.

After waiting for a while, Zhou Qianru finally spoke up and asked, "Chen Feng, tell me the truth, is this Jenny having an affair with you too?"

Chen Feng nodded frankly: "Yes."

Zhou Qianru was speechless, but she couldn't help asking out of curiosity, "How did you two meet?"

Chen Feng then briefly recounted how he met Jenny.

After listening, Zhou Qianru nodded and said with some emotion, "Then you two are really quite destined to meet, to meet twice on airplanes. And you are indeed very charming, so it's normal for her to like you."

Chen Feng smiled but didn't say anything.

Tang Xinyi, who was standing next to Zhou Qianru, suddenly asked, "Sister Qianru, tell me the truth, you've been ignoring me lately. Is there something wrong with you? We'd better talk it out in front of Chen Feng, otherwise it won't be good if we don't get along when we work together in the future."

After a moment of silence, Zhou Qianru said, "It's not that I have any problem with you, it's just that I feel Chen Feng is a bit biased towards you."

Tang Xinyi and Chen Feng were both taken aback upon hearing this.

Then, Tang Xinyi asked with some surprise, "You mean Chen Feng favors me, letting me work in China while leaving you abroad? Is that right?"

Zhou Qianru nodded somewhat shyly.

Tang Xinyi was at a loss for words, because according to Zhou Qianru's statement, it did seem somewhat plausible. She could only look to Chen Feng for an explanation.

Chen Feng didn't disappoint her, and said to Zhou Qianru, "Sister, if you don't want to be the vice president of our foundation, and don't want to be stationed abroad, I won't force you."

Zhou Qianru immediately shook her head and said, "Of course it's not that I don't want this job, it's just that I feel you're being a bit biased, giving her the easy and good job and giving me the hard and tiring one."

Chen Feng said, "Actually, you don't have to stay here all year round. If you want to go back to China in the future, you can go back and stay for a few days. The round-trip airfare will be reimbursed by the company. Xin Yi is the same. She doesn't completely stay abroad, but she spends most of her time in China carrying out specific promotional work. She also has to stay at least one-third of her time at the San Francisco headquarters every year."

"Can I go back often?" Zhou Qianru asked uncertainly.

Chen Feng nodded: "Of course, as you know, our foundation's main charitable project now and in the future is to promote the 'Free Children's Nutrition Lunch Program' in China. So there isn't much work at headquarters, and you don't need to come to work every day. So there's no difference between being in China and being abroad. Of course, in order to deal with the inspections of the relevant departments here, we will need to carry out some charitable projects here when necessary, but it's impossible to do this kind of work all year round. There will always be free time, and you can go back to China for a while then."

Zhou Qianru was delighted to hear Chen Feng's explanation and said with a smile, "If you had told me this earlier, I wouldn't have been in a bad mood these past few days. After all, I'm a complete stranger here, and Tang Xinyi isn't by my side, and you're not here either. I'll be so bored all by myself."

Chen Feng laughed and said, "It's not too late for you to know now. If you're ever unhappy in the future, just tell me sooner rather than later."

Zhou Qianru readily nodded and said, "Okay, if I'm ever unhappy about anything in the future, I'll just come to you directly, and you have to help me solve it."

Chen Feng readily agreed.

Tang Xinyi, watching Chen Feng and Zhou Qianru's exchange, couldn't help but look at them with a strange expression. She had previously suspected that Zhou Qianru and Chen Feng were also having an affair, but both of them later denied it, especially Chen Feng, so she assumed her suspicions were wrong.

Now, seeing the two of them interact like this, she felt something was off, but she couldn't bring herself to ask directly, so she could only keep it to herself.

"By the way, I'll be staying here more often from now on. And if Xiaoling is also cured by this super-rich medical team you mentioned, what will happen to the villa in Houston? Will we have to sell it?"

Chen Feng thought for a moment and then said, "Let's not sell it for now. After all, you still need to go to that hospital for regular check-ups every few months. Let's talk about it after your illness is completely cured, and after Xiaoling's illness is completely cured."

"Okay, it's up to you."

With her worries gone, Zhou Qianru's mood improved significantly, and she took the initiative to chat with Tang Xinyi for quite a while, covering a wide range of topics. It was clear that she actually enjoyed chatting, but perhaps she hadn't had anyone to talk to before.

The conversation lasted for almost an hour. Looking at the time, it was nearly eleven o'clock when Zhou Qianru finally said goodbye and went to rest in the next room. She had originally wanted to take Tang Xinyi with her, but after thinking about it, she decided against it; if she did, Tang Xinyi would definitely dislike her.

Just a few hours ago, Chen Feng and Jenny had a long-awaited reunion and played together for more than two hours. Now, Chen Feng was naturally not in the mood for that, so he raised an eyebrow at Tang Xinyi and said, "Aren't you going back to your room to sleep?"

Tang Xinyi raised an eyebrow and teased with a smile, "Did Jenny drain you dry before? Are you afraid I'll stay and sleep with you?"

Chen Feng rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Do you think I'll be drained dry? If you want to stay, then stay. Don't come crying and begging for mercy later."

Tang Xinyi blushed slightly and said somewhat awkwardly, "Let's skip it tonight. But you have to sleep with me tomorrow, okay?"

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "I'm going to Los Angeles tomorrow, so I probably won't be here tonight. You need to stay here and work with Sister Qianru and the others to set up the foundation's structure here and recruit enough people. Also, you need to start working on setting up an office for the foundation in Xiuzhou. It would be best to make a plan and do your best to promote the free children's nutrition lunch program."

Tang Xinyi's face fell slightly, and she said, "Then I'll stay tonight, but you have to feed me well. If I'm not satisfied, I'll give you a bad review."

Actually, she's been actively trying to conceive these past few days, so the "quality" of the sperm from Chen Feng is very important. She knows that Chen Feng and Jenny's long-awaited reunion must have wasted a lot of time, hence her slight disdain. But Chen Feng is leaving tomorrow, so there's nothing she can do; a slightly lower quality is fine, and besides, it's not certain—it all depends on luck. (End of Chapter)
