After the divorce, I started to transfer

Zhou Ruiyuan had to admit that he had been fooled by Chen Feng's act. All that talk and boasting he had just given was less impressive than Chen Feng's two simple sentences.

Zhou Ruiyuan glanced guiltily at the kitchen and saw his wife and Brina chatting happily, completely ignoring them. Only then did Zhou Ruiyuan lower his voice and ask Chen Feng.

"Hey bro, can you tell me how you did it? I mean, how do you get two women to get along?"

Chen Feng knew, of course, that he was genuinely seeking advice. After all, he was a man with two women. But unfortunately for him, Chen Feng had more than just two women.

Chen Feng gave Zhou Ruiyuan a deep look, smiled and said, "Actually, our ancestors taught us long ago that if a man wants three wives and four concubines and a harmonious family, he is simply looking for a man with good looks, wealth, and ability. The key is to satisfy just three of these: you need to be rich, good-looking, and capable."

Zhou Ruiyuan listened and said speechlessly, "Of course I know what you're saying, but theory is theory and practice is practice, and they are different. This is not ancient times. In ancient times, it was legal to have multiple wives and concubines, but now, whether in China or here in America, it is not allowed."

Chen Feng looked at him and asked with a smile, "So, brother, you also want to have three wives and four concubines?"

Zhou Ruiyuan glanced guiltily at the kitchen again, then lowered his voice and said, "We're all men, you know. I don't need many, just two will do. But you know the reality, that's basically impossible. So I'm very curious how you managed to let them know each other's existence, get along harmoniously, and not cause any trouble or break up with you."

So far, Chen Feng has had a pleasant chat with this fellow countryman, especially since the man has been so hospitable in inviting him to his home and offering to prepare delicious food for them. Besides, he's got nothing better to do, and this might be the last time they meet. Therefore, Chen Feng is unusually candid with this man.

He smiled and said, "The main reasons I can keep them getting along and not causing trouble for me are the three reasons I just mentioned. First, I'm relatively wealthy, at least enough to cover their expenses. Second, there's a man's ability, you know. If you can't even satisfy or keep your wife or girlfriend from getting enough, it's a bit much to mess around outside, and you can't possibly keep your girlfriend or wife completely under your control."

And as long as you completely tame your wife or girlfriend and provide her with enough money to spend, like my girlfriend in China, I handed over the company to her. She's now completely financially independent and has the power to manage the entire company. She knows I have other women, but she can only acquiesce; otherwise, she would have to break up with me. But she knows very well that after breaking up with me, she won't be able to find a man as good as me again, or rather, she won't be able to find a man as suitable for her as me.

Zhou Ruiyuan was stunned for a moment before saying, "Brother, it sounds like you're bragging to me."

Chen Feng spread his hands and said, "I'm just telling the truth, and I'm not bragging about this. My girlfriend back home pressured me to get married. She even had a very good relationship with my mother, and my mother also tried to pressure me into marrying her. But I insisted on not getting married, and in the end I made her choose between two options: either break up with me and I would pay her a large sum of money, or she could marry me, but she had to tacitly allow me to have other women outside."

Zhou Ruiyuan was taken aback for a moment, then quickly asked, "So what was her final choice? Did she marry you?"

Chen Feng shook his head and smiled, "She didn't choose either option; she neither married me nor broke up with me. And of course, I didn't let her suffer any losses. I transferred 10% of the company's shares directly to her. Of course, this is what she deserves, since she is a top screenwriter and producer."

Zhou Ruiyuan asked with some curiosity, "10% of the shares? How much is that worth? Also, you said she's a top screenwriter, have any of her scripts been adapted into TV movies? Can you tell me which TV movies they are?"

Chen Feng glanced at him, thought for a moment, and then spoke the truth: "10% of the company's shares are probably worth two or three hundred million at the current market price. She has written several screenplays, among which the more famous ones are 'Qing Yu An' and 'When Flowers Fly Again We Meet.' I don't know if you have read them?"

Zhou Ruiyuan's mouth dropped open slightly before he blurted out, "Holy crap! Don't tell me that 'Qing Yu An' and 'When Flowers Bloom Again' were both scripts written by your girlfriend? I've seen both of them! Especially 'When Flowers Bloom Again,' which stars Yang Ziying. I loved it so much; her acting was superb, the best she's done in recent years. And you're telling me she wrote both of them? And your company produced them?"

Chen Feng smiled and nodded, saying calmly, "Yes."

"Oh my brother, I really didn't recognize your talent. I thought your company was just a small one, but these dramas were all produced by your company, how could it be a small company? You're too modest! Oh, let's get to know each other again, it's such a pleasure to meet you, you're a big boss!" With that, Zhou Ruiyuan stood up warmly, bent down and shook hands with Chen Feng firmly.

Zhou Ruiyuan said with an honored expression, "What a coincidence, brother. I never expected that in a foreign country, I would meet such an important person as you by randomly asking someone on the street to come to my house. I really like Yang Ziying, she is my dream girl! What is she like in real life? You must know her, right? Do you have any photos with her? Also, could you help me get her autographed photo? Oh my, I'm really too excited. I've always wanted an autographed photo of Yang Ziying, but I've never had the chance."

Seeing his excited state, Chen Feng was speechless. He really hadn't expected that such a burly, forty-something man would be a fan of Yang Ziying.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Yang Ziying became a top-tier actress in China, a national icon, so her popularity is undeniable; she appeals to people of all ages and genders. It's not surprising that Zhou Ruiyuan, a grown man, would like such a beautiful actress.

"Yang Ziying has a great personality. I've met her a few times, and her personal image is not much different from her character in TV dramas. She's gentle, graceful, and generous. I've never taken a photo with her, but I've asked her for autographed photos on behalf of relatives and friends. If possible, I'll try to get an autographed photo from her when I return to China and then send it to you, but it might take a while."

"Okay, okay, it doesn't matter if it takes a while, as long as we get her. This is just... oh my, I'm so excited! To be honest, I've liked her since high school, when she wasn't that famous yet. Later, when I went to college, she became more and more famous, and I liked her more and more. It's a pity that we've never met in real life. Let me tell you, my wife actually has a similar temperament to Yang Ziying, otherwise I wouldn't have mustered up the courage to pursue her back then."

Chen Feng was taken aback, then glanced at Ruili in the kitchen. In terms of appearance, she and Yang Ziying had absolutely nothing in common; their figures and features were completely different, not to mention they were of different races. However, in terms of temperament, they did seem somewhat similar. Both were the dignified type, and when communicating with people, they could be very enthusiastic or very distant—their social skills were also somewhat alike.

Chen Feng nodded and said, "In terms of temperament, they are somewhat similar."

Zhou Ruiyuan said happily, "That's right. I thought she looked a lot like Yang Ziying, so I struggled with it for a few days before I finally mustered up the courage to pursue her. Otherwise, as an illegal immigrant with no money, no house, and no income, how could I have had the courage to pursue her? It was all because of the inspiration I received from my idol, Yang Ziying."

Chen Feng could only laugh it off and offer no comment, thinking to himself that if Yang Ziying knew that he was encouraging him to date foreign women, he was really overthinking things.

Next, Zhou Ruiyuan asked Chen Feng with great curiosity about some things related to filming at his company, mainly concerning Yang Ziying. Chen Feng could only tell him that he wasn't familiar with Yang Ziying either, having only met her a few times at most.

Otherwise, if he were to tell the truth—that he and Yang Ziying were close, that she was currently his lover, and that she was pregnant with his child—he believed Zhou Ruiyuan might collapse. From his expression and words, it was clear he was indeed a devoted fan of Yang Ziying and harbored many fantasies about this female idol.

Therefore, Chen Feng didn't show off to him about this matter, lest he suddenly have a heart attack or stab him with a knife out of jealousy.

The two chatted for about half an hour longer before Riley and Brina finally got ready. The food was indeed Mexican cuisine, along with their homemade wine. It was sweet; according to Zhou Ruiyuan, he had combined traditional winemaking methods from his hometown with those from Mexico, adding honey and rock sugar. It tasted quite good as a beverage.

The four of them sat down together again to eat and drink.

Zhou Ruiyuan, of course, dared not speak so freely with Chen Feng about men's topics anymore, since Brina could understand Mandarin. The four of them talked about everything from the customs and culture of Los Angeles to the education of their children.

Zhou Ruiyuan's three children are now all in school, with the youngest attending kindergarten. Zhou Ruiyuan's main complaint is that the private kindergartens here are too expensive and don't include lunch.

Previously, their youngest daughter could only work half-day shifts, and they had to pick her up around 12:00 PM. If she wanted a full-day shift, she had to wait in line. Their youngest daughter only got a chance to work a full-day shift last month, and she gets out of school at 4:00 PM.

For half-day classes, it costs $1,700 a month, and for full-day classes, it's $2,700 a month. Most importantly, the kindergarten doesn't provide lunch; you have to cook at home and have your child bring it to school.

Of course, he could also send his younger daughter to a public kindergarten, which is free, with only a few hundred dollars in tuition and fees per year.

But he clearly didn't think the public kindergartens here were very good, so he preferred to spend so much money to send his youngest daughter to a private one.

His eldest daughter and son attend public schools, where tuition is free and the annual fees are only a few hundred dollars.

So relatively speaking, the education here is better than in China; at least it's not as rigorous.

Otherwise, why would domestic celebrities or wealthy people keep sending their children abroad? Their purpose in doing so is simply to believe that education abroad is better or less competitive than in China.

The four of them ate, drank, and chatted, their conversation never stopping. Zhou Ruiyuan, in particular, seemed very happy, constantly urging Chen Feng to drink. Even though it was low-alcohol wine, homemade by himself, Zhou Ruiyuan's alcohol tolerance was really not good. After about five or six glasses, his face was flushed, and his speech was becoming slurred, mixing Mandarin, Hokkien, and English when he spoke to everyone.

When he got up to go to the toilet, he swayed and almost fell to the ground, but Chen Feng caught him quickly.

This left his wife, Riley, somewhat helpless. She could only help him to the toilet and then sternly demand that he go to his room to sleep.

Seeing this, Chen Feng and Brina couldn't stay any longer, especially since the host had said that they had to pick up their two older children from school at 3 o'clock and their younger daughter at 4 o'clock.

So Chen Feng and his companion said goodbye to Riley. Riley, being American, didn't stand on ceremony like people back home, nor did he offer to invite them to stay a little longer. He simply hugged Brina with a touch of reluctance, telling her to visit his home again sometime. He then gave Chen Feng a polite, light hug, asking him to take good care of Brina in the future.

Of course, Riley knew that after this parting, it wouldn't be so easy for them to meet again.

After bidding her a reluctant farewell, Chen Feng and Brina walked back to their hotel, which was only a few hundred meters away.

On the way, Brina said to Chen Feng with some envy, "They're such a good couple, with three children, and like us, they're in a long-distance relationship. They're really destined for each other. Zhou and Ruili are both very nice people. It's a pity I haven't met their three children yet."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Feng said, "How about we visit their family again tonight? We can see their three children and also buy them some gifts. It's about reciprocity; otherwise, we'd feel bad for just eating and drinking at their house for free today."

The main reason was that they decided to stay overnight in this small rural town, since they had nothing else to do. In addition, Chen Feng did feel that since they had eaten and drunk at their house for free and were treated so warmly, he should, out of courtesy, bring some gifts to visit them that evening.

We should also take a look at their three children, since they are all mixed-race and the couple are actually quite good-looking, so their three children should be quite beautiful.

Brina, of course, didn't object to Chen Feng's suggestion and happily said, "Okay, then let's go back to the hotel now, drive to the nearest supermarket to buy some gifts, and then visit them tonight. We'll see their three adorable mixed-race children; I'm sure they'll be very cute. And I got along really well with Ross; she loves their children, especially their little daughter. She said she's the cutest and prettiest of the three, and her husband adores her the most. I've seen photos of her, and she is indeed very cute and pretty, but I haven't seen her in person yet. I want to see her and hold her; it'll be so much fun!"

It's clear that Brina and Riley get along quite well. In just a short while, they seem to have become friends and have already exchanged contact information. Chen Feng and Zhou Ruiyuan, on the other hand, were too busy bragging to exchange contact information before leaving, especially since Zhou Ruiyuan was drunk.

“Okay, no problem.” Chen Feng readily agreed. Brina happily pulled Chen Feng along, and they quickly arrived at the hotel. They got into the used pickup truck they had bought earlier and used their phone's GPS to find the nearest supermarket, about 20 kilometers away. (End of Chapter)
