After the divorce, I started to transfer

A few minutes later, Rebecca came out of the backstage dressing room.

She dealt with the enthusiastic bar patrons and fans before finally reaching Chen Feng. Luna was the first to stand up, hugged her, and exclaimed happily, "Darling, your performance tonight was amazing, absolutely brilliant! I love you so much!"

Chen Feng also smiled and congratulated him, saying, "Your performance tonight was truly wonderful; it really impressed me."

Chen Feng's words weren't exactly flattery; her stage performance was indeed outstanding. This was evident from the cheers from the audience. As for the songs, while the quality wasn't exceptional, they were certainly adequate, and in the world of bar performances, her original compositions were enough to outshine many of her peers.

“Thank you, thank you so much for coming to see my performance tonight,” Rebecca said sincerely.

At this moment, Jones, the white woman who had been sitting next to Rebecca, also stood up and praised her, "Your performance tonight was truly wonderful. Although it was my first time seeing you perform, I was completely captivated. Are you a regular performer at this bar? If you continue to perform here, I'll be a regular customer."

Rebecca didn't recognize Jones and assumed she was just a regular fan. With a professional smile, she nodded and said, "Yes, I'm the resident singer at this bar. I perform here at least three nights a week. You're welcome to come and see me sometime. Thank you for your support."

"Can I take a picture with you?" Jones asked again.

Rebecca, of course, couldn't refuse. So Jones stepped forward and took a photo with Rebecca using his phone.

After the shoot, Jones said, "Thank you, thank you so much. I will support you. Maybe you will become a big star someday. By the way, I am the CEO of an advertising company. I feel that your personal image is very good. Both your appearance and temperament are outstanding. If the company has an advertisement that suits you in the future, I would like to invite you to shoot the advertisement. Is that okay?"

As he spoke, Jones took out his business card and handed it to Rebecca. Rebecca took it and saw that he was indeed the CEO of an advertising company, and she immediately felt a sense of respect. Shooting an advertisement could increase her visibility, so why not? She quickly nodded and said, "Of course, thank you for your appreciation. Oh, I'm sorry, I don't have a business card. Here's my phone number, though."

“Of course, you can give me your phone number,” Jones readily agreed.

The two quickly exchanged phone numbers. After that, Jones didn't press the matter further and returned to his seat. He seemed genuinely impressed with Rebecca's performance and genuinely wanted her to do an advertisement.

Luna, watching from the sidelines, was somewhat skeptical. She felt that Jones was probably still after Chen Feng, because Jones had noticed that they had a good relationship with Rebecca.

However, she couldn't say anything for the time being.

Next, Rebecca sat down with Luna and Chen Feng, while the two bodyguards naturally gave up their seats and sat at other tables with empty seats.

Rebecca quickly ordered a drink and chatted with Chen Feng and Luna over drinks. The conversation mainly revolved around the two women's personal lives, including trivial matters in their rented apartments and their respective jobs. Of course, it was mostly about interesting things, rather than anything upsetting.

As they recounted their stories, Chen Feng would often ask them questions out of curiosity, and they would always answer, which further fueled everyone's interest in talking.

After they had finished talking, they would ask Chen Feng some questions out of curiosity. Of course, these were all harmless questions, and they wouldn't ask anything too private. Both women handled this situation very well.

The atmosphere of the conversation between the three was quite harmonious and relaxed. So much so that Chen Feng unknowingly drank five glasses of wine.

He only realized what was happening after finishing his fifth drink and stopped himself from drinking any more. He checked his phone and saw it was already past midnight, so he suggested they call it a night.

Finally, Luna remembered that she had to go to work early the next morning and show off at the company, so she definitely needed to go to bed early and get up early. As for tonight, she would definitely still have to go back to the hotel with Chen Feng.

So she decided not to go back to the rented apartment with Rebecca. Rebecca, too, wasn't planning on going back right away. Chen Feng and Luna said goodbye and left.

When I came out, there was still a line of people at the door. This bar is open until 2 a.m., which shows how popular it is.

“Honey, you saw that Rebecca’s live performance was fantastic. Her singing is excellent, and her songwriting ability and songs are top-notch. As long as you support her, her musical dreams will definitely come true.”

As soon as she bypassed the queue, Luna immediately tried to persuade Chen Feng again.

Chen Feng smiled and said to her, "I already agreed to it, so don't try to persuade me anymore. Tomorrow you can tell Rebecca that I agree to invest in her, and have her list all the costs needed to produce an album, as well as related promotional expenses. If it's reasonable, I'll give it to her in installments. Of course, you also need to tell her that this money has to be repaid. Especially after she becomes famous and makes money, she must repay me with interest. In addition, of course, an agreement needs to be signed. I'll have my lawyer discuss the specifics of the agreement with her, or she can hire a lawyer, and both sides can discuss it together."

"That's great, honey, thank you so much. I'll tell her tomorrow. She'll be ecstatic."

Luna was very happy. She linked arms with Chen Feng, and the two walked together toward the parking lot.

As I approached the parking area, I suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind me, followed by the voice of the white woman, Jones: "John, wait a minute."

Chen Feng and Luna initially pretended not to hear and continued walking forward in tacit agreement. Then, the footsteps behind them became more hurried. Jones's voice rang out again: "John, Luna, wait a minute."

This time, Chen Feng and Luna couldn't pretend they hadn't heard it. After all, the sound was quite loud, and passersby on the side of the road heard it and looked in their direction. The two could only stop somewhat helplessly and look behind them. Then, they saw the white woman, Jones, with a rather voluptuous figure, slightly panting, quickly run up to them.

"Excuse me, could you two hitch a ride with me? I need to get back to my hotel too."

Luna frowned, asking with some disdain, "Didn't you drive here? And where's your male companion?"

In Los Angeles, as long as you're 21 or older, drinking a small amount of alcohol and driving is generally fine, as long as the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is below 0.08%, which is roughly equivalent to a beer. However, obviously in a bar where you're drinking whiskey, brandy, or martinis, even a small glass would exceed that amount.

So Jones looked at Luna like she was an idiot and said, "I had at least three glasses of whiskey tonight, how could I possibly drive? My date did the same, he had five. So he took a taxi home by himself. He wasn't going in the same direction as me, we were going in opposite directions. But I'm going the same way as you guys, aren't I?"

Actually, she had a hard time getting Adrian to leave. Otherwise, Adrian would have wanted to go back to the hotel with her. Of course, Adrian would have wanted to book a room by himself. But Jones wanted to get to know Chen Feng better, so she couldn't let him mess around. After much persuasion, she finally got him to take a taxi home by himself.

Luna said unhappily, "You can call a taxi yourself. There are exactly five people here, including the driver, and there are no empty seats."

Upon hearing this, Jones took out a car key and said to Chen Feng, "I drove here, in that BMW over there."

Jones pointed to a BMW SUV parked in a spot not far away. "I see that neither of your companions has been drinking. Could one of them drive my car back to the hotel? Of course, I'm willing to pay them $200 for the service."

Jones was referring to the two bodyguards, Wang Yichuan and Zhang Jianhui. They were right behind him, and Jones had obviously seen that neither of them had been drinking that evening. As bodyguards, they were naturally not allowed to drink while on duty.

Chen Feng shrugged and said to Jones, "Sorry, they're like me, Chinese, and don't have driver's licenses here. Since you drove here, you can just call a professional driver."

Jones then said, "Oh, I see. You're right. I did call a professional driver, but it might take more than half an hour for him to arrive, and I don't want to wait. How about we do it the same way, have your companion give me his spot, and then let him wait here for the driver. I'll give him $200 for his help."

Chen Feng was speechless, and Luna was also speechless. Then she said angrily, "200 US dollars is not enough. If you give me 2000 US dollars, I will ask my boyfriend's companion to switch with you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jones nodded readily and said, "OK, then $2000 it is." With that, she opened the small handbag she was carrying and pulled out a wad of US dollars, the thickness of which indicated at least $2000.

Luna was stunned. She never expected the other party to actually take out $2000 just to hitch a ride. Chen Feng glanced at Wang Yichuan and Zhang Jianhui beside him and saw that they were also a bit dumbfounded.

However, they didn't show any signs of greed. Although $2000 was a lot, their current salaries plus travel allowances were close to $10 per month, so $2000 didn't seem so surprising.

Luna was now in an awkward position, but she couldn't bring herself to say anything more difficult. After all, it was $2000, which was a considerable sum in her subconscious. Besides, she couldn't stop Chen Feng's two bodyguards from making extra money.

Seeing that the white woman was so insistent and willing to take out $2000, Chen Feng said to Wang Yichuan and Zhang Jianhui, "Then you two stay here. Take this lady's car keys and wait for the designated driver to come, then we'll go back to the hotel together."

Wang Yichuan immediately said, "I'll go back to the hotel with you. Jianhui can stay here by himself."

Seeing that he still had professional principles, Chen Feng nodded and said, "That's fine. But you two can split the $2000 each."

Both of them were delighted to hear this and said in unison, "Thank you, boss."

Such a small thing, where each person can earn $1000, is certainly something to be happy about.

"Alright, come back with us." Chen Feng called to Jones, then pulled Luna along as they walked towards the Bentley.

Jones's lips curled into a smug smile as he readily handed Zhang Jianhui a wad of cash. Then he quickly followed Chen Feng and his companion.

The four of them quickly arrived at the Bentley. Chen Feng, Luna, and Jones sat in the back, while Wang Yichuan sat in the front passenger seat.

After starting the car, Jones proactively handed his business card to Luna, who was deliberately sitting in the middle seat, and said, "If I'm feeling good, you must be a model, right? I happen to own an advertising agency. If you're interested in shooting commercials, we can keep in touch."

Although Luna was annoyed, she still accepted the business card. She said, "I'm sorry, I've already signed with a modeling agency, and my company will be promoting me with all their might. I appreciate your kindness."

“You really are a model,” Jones said with a smile. “I used to be a professional model agent. But after my husband passed away, and he happened to be running this advertising company, I had to take over. It wasn’t easy to continue as a model agent. Which agency are you signed with? I know a lot about modeling agencies in Los Angeles; I usually know any of them that have a bit of experience.”

Upon hearing the other party's explanation, Luna's confidence waned. However, she immediately remembered that she now had Chen Feng, a major financial backer, and subconsciously straightened her back, saying, "My agency is West Coast Impression. This company has been established for over 20 years."

"Oh, West Coast Impressions, I know you all too well. Isn't your boss Samuel? You might not know this, but my company and your company often do business together. Because my company frequently shoots commercials, and sometimes we need to select suitable models from outside. So I remember, your company's models participated in several commercials that my company shot in the past."

Luna was slightly surprised upon hearing this.

Having learned about the other party's background, Jones adopted a slightly haughty demeanor, his tone carrying a hint of condescension and patronage: "It's quite a coincidence. I'll give your boss a call another day and ask him to recommend you more often. Maybe my company's next advertisement will be with you."

This made Luna feel a little uncomfortable. She had always struggled at the bottom, and she naturally had a sense of awe towards someone like Jones who was in a higher position. Even though she felt uncomfortable, she suddenly lost the momentum she had shown before when confronting him.

Chen Feng saw through her act and immediately stepped in to help his woman out of the awkward situation, saying, "Thank you for your kindness. However, my friend has already invested in West Coast Impression. In the future, this company will devote all its resources to promoting Luna, and it's only a matter of time before she becomes an international supermodel."

“Oh? Is that so?” Jones said with some skepticism. “As far as I know, Samuel is a bit stubborn. Although his company has a few minority shareholders, he has always maintained absolute control. If your friend only has a small stake and doesn’t have absolute control, then I think it’s a bit hard to say.”

Chen Feng smirked and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Anyway, Luna is the company's next main model. Just wait and see, in a few months, she'll be walking those world-renowned catwalks."

Seeing Chen Feng's confident demeanor, Jones began to believe him somewhat. She could tell that Chen Feng wasn't just a simple wealthy man. After all, he had two bodyguards with him. Meanwhile, she, with nearly a hundred million dollars in assets, didn't even have a single bodyguard.

Seeing Luna, a small-time model, currying favor with a wealthy patron like Chen Feng, Jones couldn't help but feel a pang of envy and jealousy. She had been young and beautiful, but she had never encountered someone like Chen Feng who was willing to spend money and effort on her.

Everything she has now is entirely due to her own hard work and struggle. (End of Chapter)
