After the divorce, I started to transfer

The call was from Luna. She was the talk of the office today. She thought she was early enough, but her boss, Samuel, was even earlier. He was waiting at the company entrance, and as soon as he saw her, he greeted her warmly and asked her about her well-being for a long time.

Then, Samuel reiterated his promise that the company would focus on developing and promoting her. Later, when work hours began, Samuel called a company-wide meeting. Everyone who was supposed to be at work was summoned to the large conference room.

First, Samuel announced the dismissal of Kane as marketing director. Then he went on to praise Luna at length, publicly stating that the company would strongly promote Luna as a well-known model and do everything possible to push her into the international market.

Luna noticed that many people in the company were stunned, their faces showing shock, especially her fellow models, who were all looking at her with envy and jealousy. The feeling was like drinking a cold drink on a hot summer day, or stepping into a warm, air-conditioned room on a cold winter day.

After the company's general meeting, Samuel, the boss, and Simon, Luna's agent, accompanied her to a fashion magazine cover shoot.

While this fashion magazine isn't top-tier in the industry, it's still considered quite upscale in a prestigious city like Los Angeles. To appear on the cover of such a magazine is a very rare opportunity. And now, this opportunity has been given to Luna; it can be seen as Samuel's welcoming gift to Luna.

As for Zhang Zhiqiang, he had originally planned to come to West Coast Impressions Company early this morning, but due to unforeseen circumstances, he couldn't make it. However, he had already arranged to meet with Samuel at his company this afternoon to sign the investment agreement.

Even if he were to be unable to attend due to unforeseen circumstances, his lawyer would come to represent him. Therefore, Samuel was not worried at all that Zhang Zhiqiang would back out, and sincerely gave this precious opportunity directly to Luna, a previously little-known model.

Luna's main task today was to shoot cover photos for that fashion magazine. By the time she finished, it was already around 5 p.m. When she returned to the company, she was once again showered with praise and flattery from everyone in the company, as well as subtle and deliberate probing.

Luna accepted all the flattery and compliments, but she certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal why the company and boss were suddenly paying so much attention to her.

Before she knew it, it was seven o'clock, time to leave work. She quickly packed her things and left. Then, she found that Rebecca was already waiting for her at the company entrance.

Rebecca picked her up from get off work mainly to meet with Chen Feng and confirm in person whether he would invest in her.

Then, she plans to contact a lawyer tomorrow to coordinate and negotiate with Chen Feng's lawyer. Luna also plans to go back to her rented apartment today to get some personal belongings, after which she will live with Chen Feng.

The two returned to the rented apartment together.

As Luna packed her things, she told Rebecca about Chen Feng's plan to let her move into Beverly Hills. She wasn't quite sure if she could adapt to living there, or if that annoying Brina lived there too.

Therefore, she had no intention of bringing Rebecca along. However, when Rebecca asked to meet Chen Feng, Luna agreed. So, after packing her things, she called Chen Feng.

"Honey, I've already told Rebecca about your agreement to invest, and she's very happy and grateful. So she wants to meet with you to discuss it in person. If there are no issues on your end, she'd like to have her lawyer contact your lawyer tomorrow to finalize the investment. Is that alright with you?"

Chen Feng naturally didn't object, and said, "Okay, you can bring her over now. I'll send you the address later. We can also have a meal together, it's on me."

Luna asked in surprise, "Aren't you staying at a hotel? Is that villa ready for occupancy now?"

Chen Feng replied, “Yes, the transfer agreement has just been completed. I’ve handed over the rest of the formalities to my lawyer. Also, if you plan to live here, we’ll need to hire at least two security guards, a nanny, or maybe a housekeeper. We’ll discuss the specifics when we meet. Brina is here too; she might be staying with you in this house for a while.”

Chen Feng spoke frankly and openly, but Luna was somewhat at a loss. Just as she had feared, Brina was now with Chen Feng. If she brought Rebecca along, Rebecca would obviously discover the intimate relationship between Brina and Chen Feng, and Luna's seemingly inappropriate role as a third party would be exposed.

So what to do now? Should she let Rebecca find another opportunity to meet Chen Feng? Or should she find a way to get rid of Brina? Or should she keep hiding her affair from Rebecca? Luna hesitated, unsure whether to tell her best friend Rebecca everything.

Chen Feng's voice came through the phone again: "Then it's settled. I've sent you the address. You can drive over yourself. By the way, if you plan to stay here long-term, bring some of your own things. You don't need to bring blankets or anything like that; there are plenty here. As for toiletries, just bring what you need; there are plenty here too."

Luna then came to her senses, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll be there a little later."

The two didn't say anything more and quickly hung up the phone.

After putting down her phone, Rebecca asked with concern, "How did it go? Did he agree to meet me?"

Luna nodded, forced a smile, and said, "Yes, he agreed. He even said we should all have dinner together tonight, and he'll treat. But he's already at that villa in Beverly Hills. Do you want to come over?"

Upon hearing this, Rebecca exclaimed excitedly, "Of course we have to go together! Beverly Hills! I've passed by there a few times before, but I've never actually gone inside one of the villas. I'll take this opportunity to go in and see for myself. Honey, are you really going to move there? You're so lucky! I'm even a little jealous now."

Normally, Luna would have been very happy to hear Rebecca say such things, and might even have been a little proud, but at this moment, there was not much happiness on her face.

After hesitating and struggling for a while, she took a deep breath and said, under Rebecca's somewhat puzzled gaze, "I need to tell you about my true relationship with John. He's not really my boyfriend. He's actually quite promiscuous and doesn't only have me as his girlfriend. He actually has a girlfriend."

Luna mustered her courage and blurted out the words in one breath. Then she lowered her head slightly and said with a hint of shame, "I admit I was a little vain, but I really like him. I told you, the first time I saw him, my heart started pounding. It was the feeling of being smitten. I've never felt that way before in my life. So I took the initiative to talk to him, which was also a first for me. I don't even know why I was so brave back then. But I'm really glad I did, and I don't regret it. If you want to laugh at me, go ahead and laugh."

After Luna finished speaking, she looked up at Rebecca, only to see that Rebecca's face was calm, without any surprise, disdain, or contempt.

“Honey, I’ve actually had a hunch about this for a while now.” Rebecca chuckled softly, gently stroking her face. “John is so outstanding and so rich. Plus, he’s from China and not young anymore. How could such a handsome man not have women? I even suspected he was married. Now that I think about it, he probably isn’t, which is much better than I expected. We’ve known each other for so long, and I know you’ve never been a vain or materialistic woman. If you were, you would have been kept by some rich tycoon long ago. But you haven’t, which is a major reason why we’re best friends—because we’re the same kind of people; we wouldn’t sell our dignity and bodies for money.”

Luna was stunned for a moment, then hugged Rebecca tightly, her voice slightly choked with emotion, and said, "Thank you, Rebecca. Only you can understand me and won't misunderstand me. I really wasn't with him for the money. I never expected him to be so rich. You don't know, these past two days have felt like a dream."

Sometimes I can't help but pinch my thigh. It hurts, and only then do I realize this isn't a dream; John is the best man God has sent me. I don't want to miss him, and I can't miss him. Because I know that if I miss him, I might never find another man who moves me like this again, and no other man could be better than him.

"Alright, alright," Rebecca gently patted Luna's back, soothing her. "Although I don't really approve of you following him like this, without any status or relationship, I can understand you. After all, love can be blind sometimes. And as I just said, I envy you, even a little jealous, because John is indeed a very outstanding man. And he treats you very well, doesn't he? You've only known him for a few days, and he first gave you a luxury car, and now he's letting you live in a mansion in Beverly Hills. That's the kind of treatment only top female celebrities get."

Luna nodded repeatedly: "Yes, he's really good to me. So, even though he's not really my boyfriend and he can't marry me in the future, I still want to continue our relationship. At least that's what I think right now. As for the future, even if we have to be separated and face the challenges of a long-distance relationship, I'm confident I can persevere. When I achieve success in the future, I can be with him forever."

Rebecca encouraged her, "Happiness is the most important thing. If you feel happy being with him, that's enough. Just do it if you want to, I support you."

Luna was deeply moved and hugged Rebecca for a long time before letting go.

Then Luna thought of Brienne and said to Rebecca, "John is in Los Angeles, and he already has a girlfriend. I met her before me. She's very hostile towards me, discriminates against my profession, and even slanders me as a gold digger, thinking that I'm only with John for his money. I really dislike her. She's with John now, in that Beverly Hills house. For the next while, I might be living with her in that villa. I don't know if I'll end up fighting with this bitch if John goes back to the US."

Upon hearing this, Rebecca frowned and said, "Then isn't this woman his girlfriend? Just a female companion?"

Luna said dismissively, "What kind of girlfriend is she? She just met John a little earlier than me. John's real girlfriend should be in China. Judging from her arrogant and smug look, it seems like John's girlfriend knows about their relationship, and she probably knows John's girlfriend too. So, in my opinion, even if John's girlfriend is his girlfriend, she can't control him. John told me that he will never get married again in his life. Because he was divorced before, he has a fear of marriage, which is good news for me."

Rebecca was speechless, but she still expressed her support: "Then why does she look down on you? Let's go over there together later and I'll see what kind of person she really is."

Luna was delighted to hear this. After all, she was only in her early twenties, and although she had been through the ups and downs of Los Angeles, she hadn't actually experienced many setbacks. So, when facing the veteran Brienne, she was still a little intimidated, only pretending to be tough on the surface.

“Okay, let’s go now. I’ll take you to see it. I’ll try to talk to John and get him to agree to let you stay there too, so you can keep me company. That way, I won’t be afraid of that bitch.”

Rebecca hadn't initially considered staying at the Beverly Hills mansion with Luna. Now that Luna had said it, it was impossible for her not to be tempted. So, without hesitation, she asked directly, "Would John agree?"

Luna was also a little uncertain, but she knew she had to keep a straight face in front of her best friend. She said confidently, "Don't worry, John is really good to me now. He usually agrees to my reasonable requests. But I'm afraid that bitch won't agree, so we'll have to play it by ear this time. Anyway, I'll help you. Besides, that bitch is going to study in China in July. At worst, you can move in with me after she goes there."

"Okay, let's go meet her now."

……

Chen Feng had just ended his call with Luna when he received another call from someone claiming to be Kang Man. This was the same person who had previously told him his wife had lymphoma and didn't have much time left.

After thinking it over, Chen Feng decided to answer the call. After all, if this man was truly willing to spend two hundred million US dollars to treat his wife's cancer, that would be extremely rare, and Chen Feng was willing to do him a favor and give him that opportunity.

As soon as the call connected, the other party said in a strained voice, "I'm so sorry to bother you, sir. But my wife does have lymphoma, it's very serious, and she's in a lot of pain. I'm also in a lot of pain right now, so I'm willing to give you all my savings in the hope that you can help her."

I have now conducted a preliminary inventory of all my assets, and they total approximately $170 million. Besides that, I truly have no other assets. I beg you to have mercy and save my wife's life. Please, I really do.

Chen Feng was truly surprised that his husband would be willing to give up everything he had to save his wife's life; that truly showed his love. However, it was also possible that his wife was holding back, trying to deceive him by feigning poverty.

Even so, the fact that he could come up with so much money is quite impressive.

So, after remaining silent for more than ten seconds, Chen Feng finally spoke: "If this is truly all the property you have, I can make an exception and charge you less, but you must swear that this is really all you own. I must warn you, I will send someone to investigate. If they find that you lied to me, your wife may lose her last chance to live."

The other party immediately swore an oath: "I swear to God, everything I've said is true. I'm truly willing to give up everything I have to save my wife's life. For her, I'm willing to give up everything I have now. If you can give up my life for hers, I'm willing too. She's my beloved, I can't live without her."

"Alright, I'll send someone to investigate and verify. If it's true, I'll make an exception and save your wife's life. If it's a lie, as I just said, you'll lose your last chance to save your wife."

“I swear, I really didn’t lie. It’s just that the price of my farm might fluctuate a bit due to market conditions. Other assets like real estate, stocks, jewelry, and gold are relatively more stable in price. So, after selling these assets, the price might not reach 170 or 180 million US dollars, maybe even 10 or 20 million less. But this really is all I have. I’m willing to write you an IOU, and for the rest of my life, I’m willing to work hard to earn money and pay back the difference I owe you.”

Even with his hardened heart, Chen Feng was somewhat moved by what the other party had said.

So Chen Feng softened his tone and said, "Alright, remember what you said. I'll have someone investigate, at the earliest in the next day or two."

"Thank you, thank you so much. If you save my wife's life, you will be our greatest benefactor, and we will be grateful to you for the rest of our lives. Also, if I were to sell all my assets or mortgage them to a bank, it would take a long time. Therefore, I am willing to transfer all these assets to you directly for free. Of course, the condition is that you save my wife; otherwise, these transfer agreements will automatically become invalid. Is that acceptable to you?" (End of Chapter)
