After the divorce, I started to transfer

Chapter 1889 A Man Must Be Hard When He Needs to Be

Chen Feng originally didn't want to talk about this. Otherwise, he would have brought it up when Brina and Luna were arguing at the hotel.

The reason I'm bringing this up now is not only to stop the two of them from having discrimination and prejudice against Luna's profession, but also to put them down a bit, so that they won't be too arrogant when facing Luna.

They were indeed more senior, especially Brina, whose feelings for Chen Feng were the deepest among the three.

But Brinna can't take advantage of her seniority or Chen Feng's deeper feelings for her to bully Luna.

Therefore, it is necessary to establish rules for them at this time.

Everything should be done in moderation. If things cross the line, even though Chen Feng and she now have a deep relationship, Chen Feng will still consider breaking up with her. After all, his love has now been divided into many parts, and he can no longer be devoted to only one woman.

They need to have a clear understanding of this. If they can't accept it, then it's best to part ways amicably. Although Chen Feng will also feel reluctant, for the sake of fairness for the other women, he can only sacrifice their personal interests to preserve this collective family.

Chen Feng observed the different changes in the three women's expressions, paused for a moment, and then continued, "There must be a limit to arguing. If it's just a little bickering, then it's definitely not going to cross the line. But if the argument goes on and on, and they get all red in the face, and it even escalates to the point of physical violence, then that's definitely not acceptable."

Therefore, to avoid the possibility of you two actually fighting in the future, even arguing will be forbidden. If you don't get along, try not to spend time together. Lina, if you and Luna both plan to live in this villa, as you can see, it's big enough. As long as you stay in different rooms and stagger your schedules, including mealtimes, you can completely avoid seeing each other.

Molly raised her hand slightly and said, "After all, we live in the same villa, so it's impossible to completely avoid seeing each other. We can only try to see each other as little as possible. Besides, even our meal times need to be staggered, which sounds a bit unrealistic. Since we'll be hiring a nanny to cook, the cooking time will be basically fixed, unless the three of us hire two nannies. Lina and I can eat and sleep together, so we only need one nanny."

Chen Feng frowned slightly and looked at Molly, asking, "Are you really planning to stay here too?"

Molly countered, "Is that not allowed? Staying in a hotel costs extra every day. Your villa has so many rooms; giving me one shouldn't be a problem, right? Of course, you can rest assured. You've already made it clear enough that I won't deliberately target this young model anymore. Of course, you can't force me to change my prejudice and opinion about her."

Back in New York, I warned her not to mess with you. And as you saw, she completely ignored me. In a way, she deliberately cheated on me and stole my man. If you were in her shoes, would you be friendly to your rival?

However, you're right. I'm not your official girlfriend yet, so I don't have the right to stop you from flirting with other women. Therefore, I won't argue or fight with her anymore; like you said, it's completely unnecessary. But to be honest, I still dislike her, and we'll just try to avoid each other in the future.

Chen Feng frowned again and said, "Then let's just hire two nannies. One of them is a single mother recommended by Luna, and it's basically settled. You and Lina can find another one and discuss different work schedules, or we can simply have the nannies use two separate kitchens, since there's more than one kitchen here. The three of you can discuss this in more detail later."

Brina said, "Molly and I will use the large kitchen in the living room. After all, there are two of us, so we need a bigger kitchen. The other nanny and maid will use a smaller kitchen, so let her and her nanny use it. What do you think?"

The last question was directed at Luna. Under the intense gazes of Brina and Molly, Luna, despite feeling somewhat aggrieved, finally nodded and said, "I'm fine. However, after you all move out, I'd like to use the main kitchen in the living room. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Brina seemed quite understanding, nodding in agreement: "Of course, that's no problem. Once we're no longer living here, you can let your nanny use the main kitchen. But while we're here, you and your nanny can't use it."

These words were clearly spoken with a hint of malice. But Luna was, after all, alone, and a newcomer at that, with Chen Feng watching nearby, so she couldn't appear too rebellious.

Luna could only say somewhat sullenly, "Of course. If you were here, I wouldn't dare to use it. After all, there are two of you, and I'm only one. If we really argued, I wouldn't be able to win against you."

Luna's words had a hint of manipulative scheming, making Molly and Brina feel a little uncomfortable, but they didn't know what to say for the time being.

Seeing that Luna had agreed, Chen Feng made the final decision: "Then it's decided. You two will find another nanny and use the main kitchen. Luna is alone after all, so she'll have to make do with the side kitchen for now. As for meals, she can eat in the dining area next to the side kitchen. That way, even if you occasionally bump into each other going up or down the stairs or going out, you won't have much contact."

Also, Luna is going to Xiuzhou in July to complete her study abroad procedures and then wait for the semester to start. Molly, I suppose you'll be going to Xiuzhou soon too. So, you probably won't be staying here for more than a month or two, right?

Molly originally wanted to return to China with Chen Feng, but she really disliked Luna, the young model. Even now, with Chen Feng's warning, she didn't dare to do anything too outrageous to the model, but as long as she stayed in the villa and lived with the model, she could keep her at arm's length.

So, without hesitation, Molly said, "I'll be going back to Xiuzhou with Lina. I have some personal matters to take care of in New York and Los Angeles."

Chen Feng vaguely guessed that Molly's decision to stay was intentional, but he didn't want to say much or delve into it further. He simply warned her again in a serious tone, "What I just said was very clear. The three of you can live together, but Molly, you absolutely cannot deliberately target Luna anymore, and you absolutely cannot bully her. She is my woman now, and if anyone is to bully her, it can only be me, not anyone else, including you. Otherwise, don't blame me for not showing any mercy."

Molly was startled, not expecting Chen Feng to warn her again, and with such blunt words, which made her face flush slightly, clearly indicating that she was angry.

She couldn't help but ask, "For her sake, you're actually treating me like an enemy?"

Chen Feng, however, kept a slightly cold expression and said seriously, "I just want you to take my warning seriously. I'm not joking with you. If you can't accept my philandering, then leave on your own and we can part amicably. Otherwise, don't cause any more trouble. I can understand jealousy, but you absolutely cannot break off relations, let alone argue or even fight. This is my bottom line. If anyone crosses this line, the final outcome will be a breakup."

Seeing Chen Feng's serious expression, Molly felt both nervous and angry, but she dared not argue back. Otherwise, she had no doubt that Chen Feng would really break up with her. Clearly, she couldn't break up with Chen Feng, so what could she do? She could only endure it for now.

Moreover, she really didn't dare to deliberately target Luna, the little model, anymore, which made her feel very frustrated, but there was nothing she could do.

Luna clearly hadn't expected Chen Feng to defend her like this. More importantly, even with a privileged girl like Molly, Chen Feng's attitude towards her was so stern, even somewhat cold-blooded. This made her feel both relieved and secretly alarmed.

If Chen Feng doesn't even care about the Lampson family's daughter, and treats her with such an attitude, then what right does this grassroots model have to dare to disobey the rules set by Chen Feng? Thinking of this, Luna suddenly became a little nervous.

Although Brina wasn't directly targeted by Chen Feng, she was clearly made an example of, making her hesitant to speak further and feeling slightly nervous. Of the three women, she was undoubtedly the one most dependent on Chen Feng, or rather, the one who loved him the most, so she was the one least able to bear the consequence of Chen Feng breaking up with her.

She couldn't imagine what her world would be like if Chen Feng really broke up with her. It would definitely be more damaging than the hurt she suffered from being abandoned after being taken advantage of and then having a miscarriage.

Chen Feng glanced at the three women and felt somewhat relieved to see that his words had intimidated them. A man who isn't assertive enough can't handle this complicated situation and might even be led by the nose by these women.

Therefore, a man must be tough when he needs to be, and ruthless when he needs to be. Only in this way can he establish authority, control the situation, and live a good life.

"Next, let's talk about hiring security guards. We already have a suitable candidate, but we need to find another one. If any of you three have any recommendations, please let us know now."

Luna then spoke up, "I do have someone in mind. He used to be a security guard at our company, but he was laid off due to company downsizing. I think he's a pretty good person, and I've known him for two or three years."

Brina then asked, "Why was he laid off by your company?"

Luna explained, “Our company originally had four security guards, but the boss felt that hiring four security guards was unnecessary, so he laid off two of them. He was the oldest, already over fifty, so he was the first to be laid off. But he has been a security guard for more than ten years, so he has the most experience. He has always been conscientious and dedicated, and the employees in the company have a very good opinion of him.”

Brina immediately objected, saying, "You said 'him,' not 'her,' which is inappropriate. Even though he's over fifty, he's still a man. We have three women living here, a single mother working as a nanny, and another woman who's been chosen as a security guard. Do you think it's appropriate to let a man move in?"

Luna argued, "He is a man, that's true, but what does that have to do with his job as a security guard? I think security guards are usually men, so there's nothing wrong with that."

Brina asked suspiciously, "Do you know if this security guard is single, or if he has a wife and family? How many children does he have?"

Luna was stumped by the question and couldn't answer it for a moment.

Brina said with a slightly stern face, "So it seems that although you and this security guard were former colleagues, you don't really know each other that well. You just think he's nice based on appearances, which is too presumptuous. You can know a person's face but not their heart, don't you know that principle?"

Luna blushed slightly and retorted, "He's really a nice person; everyone in the company says he's good. I think he's probably single; I've never met his wife. But I know he has a daughter; he's mentioned her to us."

Molly then spoke up: "Regardless of whether he's a good person or not, he's still a man, and most likely an old bachelor. Once Chen Feng leaves, it'll be just women living in the house. Do you really think that's appropriate?"

Seeing that Molly continued to emphasize this point, Luna couldn't say anything more in defense, because she also felt it was indeed a bit inappropriate. More importantly, seeing that Chen Feng didn't express support for her recommendation, she could only pout slightly and say, "Then I don't have any other candidates to recommend. You guys should make the recommendations."

Brina continued, "I recommend a female security guard I used to know. She used to work in a supermarket for many years and should still be working there now. But the salary there is definitely not as high as what we offer here, so if I ask her to come over, she will definitely agree."

Chen Feng made the final decision: "That sounds good. Have her come for an interview tomorrow or the day after. If she's suitable, hire her directly. Also, do you think it's necessary to hire a housekeeper?"

Brina shook her head and said, "There's no need. We've already hired two female security guards and two female nannies. Why would we need a housekeeper? There aren't many people living here anyway. Once Molly and I leave, there will be even fewer people. There's even less need to hire a housekeeper."

Molly chimed in, "It's really unnecessary. Are you going to hire a housekeeper just to manage these two security guards and two nannies? That's a huge waste of talent. As for paying the water and electricity bills and property management fees, you can delegate those to the security guards and nannies, or you can hand them over to your lawyer."

Their strong opposition clearly stemmed from their desire to prevent Luna from receiving excessively high-class service, or perhaps it was to save Chen Feng money.

Chen Feng thought about it and agreed with them, so he nodded and said, "Then I won't call a housekeeper anymore. I'll leave the trivial matters like paying water and electricity bills and property fees to my lawyer."

Luna felt a little disappointed that Chen Feng had already made his decision. In her opinion, she actually wanted a butler, as that would be more in line with the standards of this top-tier luxury mansion.

Brina then spoke up, "Once you leave, the three of us will be living together in this house. I think it's necessary to discuss some specific rules so that the three of us can get along peacefully. Luna, what do you think?"

Luna paused for a moment, then nodded: "Of course. Let's set some rules first, and everyone should follow them. That way, we'll have fewer troubles and disputes in the future. I have no objections."

“Alright.” Brina nodded, then said, “Let’s talk about the specific accommodation arrangements. As long as Chen Feng agrees, you can stay here for as long as you want, and you won’t have to pay a penny. But you can’t bring anyone else in unless we and Chen Feng agree. Anyway, it’s the same here; we can’t bring anyone else in without permission. Also, you can’t hold any parties or gatherings in this house unless we all agree. Can you accept these rules? Molly and I can accept them.”

Luna was stunned. She had been hoping to have Rebecca move in too. She quickly looked at Chen Feng and pleaded, "I want Rebecca to move in as well. Our rented apartment expires in twenty days at most. Besides, there are so many rooms here, they're just sitting empty. Having Rebecca here shouldn't be a problem, right? And you're planning to invest in her, so having her stay here is a kind of investment. Otherwise, if she becomes famous in the future, it would be unbecoming of her to live in a run-down old apartment."

Brina immediately objected, "That's impossible. I already said you can't bring anyone else in to stay unless we all agree. And now, I disagree."

Molly quickly chimed in, "I disagree too."

Luna glared at Brina with some displeasure, but didn't directly refute her. Instead, she looked at Chen Feng and pleaded again, "Rebecca really needs to stay here. Please help her. Consider it another investment in her."

Chen Feng hesitated for a moment. No matter how much he favored Luna, he couldn't show it too obviously at this time. In addition, he himself was somewhat reluctant to let Rebecca move in.

After a moment of silence, Chen Feng finally spoke, "How about this, Rebecca shouldn't move in for now. After Brina and Molly go to Dragon Kingdom, you can let her move in to keep you company. It won't be for long, maybe a month or two at most, or even less." (End of Chapter)
