After the divorce, I started to transfer
Chapter 1869 Time will prove everything
To be honest, Chen Feng was a little tempted. He had never lived in a house this big before. The house he currently lived in in Xiuzhou could be considered a villa, but compared to this villa, the difference was enormous.
Sensing Chen Feng's interest, Moore explained in detail: "This villa is quite nice, with 16 bedrooms, 25 bathrooms, and 18 fireplaces. It was designed by a renowned architect and is fully equipped. In addition to the usual living room, dining room, and kitchen, there's also a library, theater, games room, bowling alley, gym, and wine cellar. I know you don't own any property in Milica yet, so this villa is perfect for you as a base here."
"You gave me a villa worth over 1 million US dollars, is it really just as an apology?" Chen Feng looked at him with some suspicion.
Moore smiled and waved his hand gently, saying, "That's really all. Otherwise, do you think I was trying to bribe you? We all know you can't be bribed for a house like this. It would be too easy for you to buy a house like this. After all, you charge $2 million for treating someone, which is much more valuable than my villa."
"If it's really just as an apology, without any other conditions attached, since you're willing to give it to me, of course I'm willing to accept it."
Chen Feng had come to terms with it. Since he was already agreeing to cooperate with the other party, taking advantage of them a little wouldn't hurt. Besides, as Moore had just said, it would be very easy for Chen Feng to buy a house like that if he wanted to. A single medical bill costs $2 million; would he really be short of money?
After taking a drag of his cigarette, Moore continued, “I bought this house mainly because of its location and the amenities it offers. This villa is equipped with state-of-the-art electronic equipment and security systems, including a guardhouse. The house uses geothermal heating and cooling, and is equipped with solar panels and a generator. Outside, there's an infinity pool and spa, an outdoor kitchen, a floodlit tennis court, and beautiful lawns, walkways, and gardens. It will be more than enough space for you to vacation here with your women.”
Ignoring the other party's teasing, Chen Feng said bluntly, "Since you put it that way, I can't refuse your kind offer. If it's convenient, I can call my lawyer now to complete the handover procedures for this house."
Moore laughed and said, "Are you in such a hurry to move in here now?"
Chen Feng chuckled and said, "I was worried that you might forget things, which would make the transfer of ownership more complicated. After all, you can't stay here for long."
Moore waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, once I get back, I'll issue a document to my lawyer authorizing him to come here specifically to handle the transfer of ownership of this villa. I came in a hurry this time, so I didn't bring my lawyer with me. You just need to sign a few documents, and then leave everything to your lawyer; they'll take care of it."
Seeing that the other party had already said that, Chen Feng didn't want to appear too eager. A big shot like Moore, whose words were like water spilled, wouldn't really care much about a house bought for a mere $1.35 million. Besides, Chen Feng wasn't stupid; he knew the other party wanted to befriend him.
Therefore, the other party made the move of giving away the house. Even if it couldn't win Chen Feng over, it would obviously gain Chen Feng's favor.
"Okay, thank you for the gift. I really like it."
"I'm glad you like it. I think that once we've known each other for a longer time, we can definitely become friends, because as I just said, we're the same kind of people."
At this point, Chen Feng has no intention of being friends with this person, since he doesn't know anything about their background. Besides, the other party initially wanted to capture him and use him as a guinea pig; how could Chen Feng possibly have any good feelings towards them?
Even if the other party were to give him a house worth over a hundred million US dollars, Chen Feng would at most be magnanimous and not hold it against them for sending people to try and arrest him in the past. But to be friends with them was another matter entirely.
However, Chen Feng wouldn't be foolish enough to refuse the other party outright, so he said ambiguously, "Maybe."
"Alright, let's wait and see. As your Dragon Kingdom has a saying, 'Time reveals all,' I think it's very true. Time can prove everything, and time can change everything. After meeting you in person today, I have a very good impression of you. I wonder what your impression of me is now?"
Just as Chen Feng was about to respond, his phone beeped in his pocket. He suddenly remembered his promise to Brina and took it out in front of Moore. Sure enough, it was a WeChat message from Brina, asking how he was doing.
After reading the message, Chen Feng politely said to Mo, "Sorry, it was sent by my girlfriend. She's worried about my safety during my trip here, so I need to reply to her to avoid any worries or misunderstandings."
It was clear that Moore was a little angry when he saw Chen Feng take out his phone to look at it, since looking at a phone while they were talking was undoubtedly impolite. But after hearing Chen Feng's explanation, he understood and nodded generously: "It's okay, just reply to her message."
Chen Feng replied to Brinna, informing her that he was safe and that they had reached a preliminary cooperation agreement.
No sooner had the message been sent than Brina invited a video call. Clearly, she was still worried and wanted to see for herself whether Chen Feng was truly safe.
Chen Feng looked at Moore again with a hint of helplessness and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, my girlfriend doesn't seem very reassured and wants to video chat with me."
If it were anyone else acting like this in front of him, Moore would definitely be furious by now. But because it was Chen Feng, God's favorite, Moore's tolerance was much higher, and he wasn't even that angry. Even Moore himself was somewhat surprised by this.
Moore nodded again, indicating his understanding: "You can take it, I'm fine."
Chen Feng didn't stand on ceremony and answered the video call immediately. Brina's face appeared on the phone screen, and she specifically asked in Mandarin, "Are you really alright?"
Chen Feng responded in Mandarin: "It's okay, I've already reached an agreement with them. They've even offered me a Beverly Hills estate villa worth over $1 million as compensation, which I've accepted."
Chen Feng said all this mainly to reassure Brina. After all, the other party had given her a villa, so there was certainly no problem.
"Are you in the villa right now? God, this villa looks really nice."
"Yes, this villa is indeed very nice, and I like it quite a bit. You can come and live here after the transfer of ownership is completed. I was originally planning to have your father help with the transfer and then find two people to help me look after the house."
As Chen Feng spoke, he pointed his phone camera around and moved it back and forth so she could see more of the surroundings.
"This villa is indeed very nice; I'd like to go and see it right now. Since they're willing to give it to you, it certainly shows their sincerity."
“That’s what I mean too. He’s sitting right in front of me right now. He seems like a very capable person, and he should also be a very trustworthy person.”
"That's good. You can talk to him properly. I won't bother you anymore. I just wanted to make sure you're safe."
"Okay, I'll tell you when I get back. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be back soon." "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Chen Feng hung up the phone, smiled somewhat embarrassedly at Moore, and said, "She's a rather meticulous and cautious person."
Moore nodded understandingly: "Your girlfriend is nice, she must be Brina, right?"
Chen Feng Moore's immediate mention of Brina's name made him slightly annoyed, but not entirely surprised. After all, the other party had conducted a very thorough investigation into him, so it was normal for them to know Brina's name.
Chen Feng replied calmly, "Yes, it's her."
Moore sincerely commented, "She's a good girl. While investigating you, I also did some investigation on her. She and her father were devout Catholics. It's just a pity that she later met the wrong person, was taken advantage of and abandoned, and even suffered a miscarriage and developed severe depression. But fortunately, she met you, and you saved her. And her ex-boyfriend seems to be in prison now, receiving the punishment he deserved. I think this must be good luck you brought her; you've avenged her."
Moore's background check was indeed thorough; they even found out about Brina's ex-boyfriend. This made Chen Feng a little annoyed again, and he didn't want to continue talking to her.
He stood up, immediately changing the subject and getting back to the main point: "Then our cooperation is settled. Also, I'm waiting for your lawyer to contact me; Brina wants to come and see this villa as soon as possible."
Moore laughed heartily, "You really are a straightforward person, no beating around the bush, just getting straight to the point. Don't worry, I'll have my lawyer come over when I get back. If Brina wants to see the house or even move in, she can do it today. I'm leaving soon, and the house is just sitting empty anyway, so I'll have the housekeeper transfer the management of the entire house to you or Brina. I'll have my lawyer contact you to complete the transfer of ownership as early as tomorrow."
Seeing how readily he agreed, Chen Feng smiled and nodded, saying, "Then I'll trouble you. I'll have Brina come over after your lawyer completes the transfer."
"Alright, you can decide for yourselves. Anyway, this house belongs to you from today onwards."
"Thank you again." After saying that, Chen Feng took two steps forward and extended his hand to him.
Seeing this, Moore stood up and shook hands with him. Three seconds later, seeing that Chen Feng hadn't let go and his expression was strange, the other man asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Chen Feng then released his grip, his eyelids twitching slightly, and said, "It's nothing. I just suddenly remembered something urgent, and I need to go back and take care of it."
Moore nodded understandingly, gently patted his arm, and said in a gentle tone, "As a fellow man, I admire you and envy you. I also had many beautiful women when I was young, but obviously I couldn't handle them with the same ease as you do now, let alone make them get along harmoniously. If I weren't older now and had lost much interest in women, I would definitely want to ask you for advice on the art of seduction."
Chen Feng knew he might have misunderstood, so he explained, "I think you've misunderstood. My rush to go back isn't because of any woman."
Moore smiled at him and comforted him, "I've specifically looked into you. You're usually quite lazy, you only become enthusiastic when you're around women."
Hearing this, Chen Feng's lips twitched involuntarily. Too lazy to explain further, he went along with it, saying, "I think you don't know me very well. Besides, I don't know anything about 'womanizing techniques.' The reason I can get them to get along is firstly because of money, secondly because of my personal charm. The third point, and the most important point, is probably my innate talent. You know, the most important thing for a man is talent, which is something that is hard to make up for later through training or drugs."
This time, Moore's lips twitched. He resisted the urge to roll his eyes and nodded slightly, saying, "You are indeed exceptionally talented, but I think it's God's special favor to you, not something you were born with. Otherwise, why did you get divorced in the first place?"
As expected, this old guy wasn't one to suffer a loss easily; one sentence from him was enough to make Chen Feng lose his composure.
Even though Chen Feng initiated the divorce, and his ex-wife Shen Lin has since reconciled with him, the fact remains that they divorced. If he truly possessed extraordinary talent from the beginning, according to Chen Feng's logic, Shen Lin would never have divorced him.
Seeing Chen Feng's discomfiture, Moore smiled happily and patted Chen Feng's arm again, saying, "Alright, boy, let's call it a day. Here's my business card. You can call me anytime or ask for my help, including things that Williams and Carl can't handle."
After saying that, Moore took out a plain-looking gold-plated business card from his pocket, which only had a phone number and Green Bubble account number written on it.
Chen Feng glanced at it, stuffed it into his pocket, and said to him, "You should know my phone and WeChat. You can contact me if you need anything. But it's best not to contact me unless it's absolutely necessary."
These words were somewhat impolite, but Moore still smiled and nodded, saying, "OK, no problem. I won't contact you unless there's something wrong, and I think you probably won't contact me either. But I believe time will tell, and I think we are destined to be friends."
"Alright, let time prove everything." Chen Feng nodded to him, then turned and walked out the door decisively.
Moore watched Chen Feng walk out of the hall, meet up with the two bodyguards, and disappear from sight. A short while later, Joseph walked in.
"Sir, have you reached an agreement with him?" Joseph asked with some curiosity.
Moore nodded slightly, then his expression turned cold, and he reprimanded him without any politeness: "You'd better put away your arrogance. You are not me, and you have no right to be arrogant in front of many people. For example, when facing this Chinese, you must be respectful to me. If you can't do that, then go back to your England."
Joseph trembled, his face turning pale. He quickly bowed and said, "I'm sorry, sir, it was my fault. I was indeed a bit rude to him before, and I will never do it again."
Moore said coldly, "I'm giving you one last chance, or I'll send someone else to deal with him. You should understand how important he is to me and to our organization."
“Yes, sir, I will not do anything disrespectful to him again.”
"Remember what you said." (End of Chapter)
