After the divorce, I started to transfer

Chen Feng called Brina to his room and bluntly told her his decision to have her hold his assets in the American family on his behalf.

Although somewhat surprised, Brina agreed without much hesitation. However, after a moment's thought, she said, "Given your current situation, you'll only accumulate more and more properties and real estate in America. The more real estate you own, the more dangerous it becomes, because there are just too many lawsuits and legal disputes in America. Even if someone falls in front of your house, they can sue you, claiming that the poor paving in front of your house caused their fall, and demand huge sums of compensation. At that point, your house, and even all your personal assets, could be frozen according to law."

Therefore, my personal suggestion is that you establish a separate LLC (Limited Liability Company) for each of your properties and real estate holdings in Merrill Lynch. This way, even in the event of legal proceedings, they can only sue the LLC, not you personally, and they cannot freeze other assets under your name. At most, they can only freeze the LLC holding that property, which can save you a lot of trouble.

Brina, being a native of America and having a father, Frank, who was a professional lawyer, was quite knowledgeable about the local customs and traditions. Therefore, her advice seemed very insightful. Chen Feng, being a foreigner, naturally didn't have a detailed understanding of these local practices.

Hearing her say that, Chen Feng asked with some curiosity, "Can't we set up a dedicated asset management company and then transfer all these properties to that company?"

Brina explained, "That's certainly possible, but there are certain risks. For example, if a renovation worker is injured, even disabled or killed, while working on one of your properties, the court could very well order the freezing of all assets of the company that owns that property. At that point, your other properties, as well as the bank accounts of your asset management company, will all be frozen. What will you do then?"
Therefore, the best approach is to establish a separate LLC for each property, allowing the LLC to hold the assets. This way, even if the property is frozen, the loss is only a small portion and has no impact on your other properties. Additionally, this method can avoid certain property taxes. Otherwise, if you own the property personally, you would have to pay substantial property taxes and other maintenance fees every year.

Furthermore, if you own the property personally, it might cause you some trouble. If someone sues you, or there's a neighborhood dispute, you'll have to handle the legal proceedings yourself. But if the company owns it, you can simply let them handle it. And since you're a foreigner, it's clearly the best solution here for the company to own your property. You can ask my father for more details; he knows more about this than I do.”

Chen Feng frowned slightly and said, "Your father, Frank, didn't suggest that I do these things before."

Brina explained, “He probably thought you only had this one house in the US, so he didn’t think it was necessary to set up a company to hold it. If he knew you had two or more properties, he would definitely have suggested that to you. After all, it would also benefit him. Every additional property you own would require you to open another company, and all of that would need to be handled by a professional lawyer like him, which would be a very stable source of income every year.”

Chen Feng thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, if that's what you're saying, it's indeed necessary to set up a company to hold each property. Let's leave this villa as is, since it's already been transferred to my personal name, and I don't want to add another company to hold it. As for the other properties and real estate, let's follow your suggestion and let those companies hold them. And you can hold all the owners of these companies on their behalf."

Brina didn't refuse, nodding and saying, "I'm fine, it's nothing to me. But thank you for your trust."

Chen Feng said earnestly, "You know that you're the person I trust most here. Letting you hold these properties I own in America, and with the foreseeable increase in the future, isn't just a sign of my trust in you, but also a guarantee from me. If anything happens to me in the future, all these properties here will belong to you. If we have children in the future, I will most likely pass these properties on to our children to inherit. You can rest assured about that; I'm not a stingy person."

After hearing Chen Feng's words, Brina felt both moved and a little ashamed, because she didn't think she could get Chen Feng to do so much for her. Most importantly, Chen Feng's promise was indeed very important to her.

Her eyes were slightly red, and her voice was choked with emotion as she said, "Thank you, my dear. I can disregard these gifts you've given me, but I feel that our child needs some security, otherwise it's unfair to him. And don't worry, I won't touch a single bit of these properties without your permission."

"Alright," Chen Feng waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about these sentimental things anymore. Later, help me contact your father and have him set up a company for each property. You can contact Tom Zhang Zhiqiang to get the specific property list. I'll send you his contact information later."

“Okay, leave this to me.” Brina answered readily, without any hesitation or affectation. She wasn’t after Chen Feng’s real estate to begin with, and besides, she knew in her heart that these assets were just a drop in the ocean compared to all of Chen Feng’s wealth. She only refrained from rejecting the guarantee Chen Feng had just given her because she was thinking about their future child.

Chen Feng quickly reached an agreement with Brina, having her hold his real estate in the United States on his behalf. The first thing he needed to take over were the properties Commman was transferring to her, including a farm estate worth over $5000 million, and several other properties.

After leaving Chen Feng's bedroom, Brina called her father, Frank, and explained the situation in detail. Frank was shocked but also very relieved after hearing his daughter's account.

He laughed and said, “Darling, it seems he really loves you. Although we don’t know the exact value of these properties yet, it’s certain that they will only increase in the future. This wealth is entirely predictable, at least several million dollars. But if you add the villa he lives in now, it’s hundreds of millions, even billions of dollars. Darling, you’re about to become a rich woman, a new billionaire…”

“Alright, Father, you should hurry up and get on with your business.” Brina interrupted her father impatiently. “Help me register a few asset management companies as soon as possible. These companies will be responsible for holding the real estate that is to be transferred.”

“Okay, my darling daughter, I’ll take care of it right away. It’s very simple. We can register it tonight, and then just pay some taxes and registration fees every year. After all, these are just shell companies, no employees or office space, so we don’t need to hire anyone to work. And all this real estate will be yours in the future, which is really great.” Frank laughed heartily after saying this, and then hung up the phone before his daughter could throw a tantrum.

Brina smiled and shook her head. She had just put down her phone when she received a message from Chen Feng with Zhang Zhiqiang's phone number. Brina immediately contacted Zhang Zhiqiang, and after a brief discussion, they quickly agreed to meet at the place Zhang Zhiqiang had arranged for 9:00 AM the next morning. The rancher, Cornman, and his lawyer would also be present, and Brina could bring her own lawyer to complete the asset transfer procedures.

After Zhang Zhiqiang finished communicating with Brina, he contacted Kang Man to explain Brina's situation and reconfirm the meeting time and place for tomorrow. Kang Man was eager to finalize the asset transfer agreement before tonight. However, it was already 6 PM, and Zhang Zhiqiang couldn't possibly put aside other matters to focus solely on this one. Furthermore, Brina had also indicated she wanted to meet tomorrow, so Kang Man had no choice but to wait another night.

After Brina left, Chen Feng calmed down and started reading an online novel on his phone. But this time, it was pretty much the same; he hadn't been reading for long when he received a call from Emma.

Chen Feng wasn't particularly interested in this Hollywood star anymore, since she already had a boyfriend. But they had been together before and were now friends, so it wouldn't be right not to answer the phone. Therefore, Chen Feng picked up the call.

"Hey Emma, ​​what's up?" Chen Feng asked directly.

Emma paused for a moment before saying, "Oh, it's like this. I'm planning to have a party at my house tomorrow. It's a small party, and I've only invited a few close friends. Can you come? We only met briefly last time and parted in a hurry, so we didn't talk for very long."

Chen Feng was about to refuse when Emma added, "Besides you, everyone else at the party tomorrow night is a woman, including Millie and Sydney. They're both very popular in Hollywood right now, and they're both quite young—Millie is only 21, and Sydney is only 23. They're both very interested in you, this Asian man. I've spoken to them recently, and they don't mind if you join us at this small party. We'll just chat, have a few drinks, and maybe play some games."

Hearing Emma's words, Chen Feng found himself speechless, unsure of what to say. It was obvious she was trying to seduce him, and she was even offering two high-profile young Hollywood actresses. While Chen Feng wasn't particularly bothered by this, he was friends with Emma, ​​and since she had been so proactive and enthusiastic, refusing would be rather unreasonable. So, after a brief hesitation, Chen Feng asked, "Where are you staying now? You're probably in Beverly Hills, right?"

Emma immediately replied, "Yes, I currently live at 673 Beverly Hills Avenue."

Chen Feng was somewhat surprised when he heard the address she gave him. His villa was also on this main street, but its address was number 128. The distance between the two was clearly not far.

Chen Feng couldn't help but sigh, "That's really not far. What a coincidence, I also live on this main road now. It seems we really do have some kind of destiny."

"You live on this avenue too? You live in Beverly Hills too? What house number do you live in?" This time it was Emma's turn to be surprised.

Chen Feng didn't hide anything and said directly, "It's at number 128."

“Number 128? Are you sure you’re not mistaken?” Emma’s voice suddenly rose considerably. “As far as I know, this villa is the most luxurious mansion on this avenue, and one of the top luxury villas in Beverly Hills. And it already has an owner. You can’t be renting it, can you? They wouldn’t rent it out.”

Chen Feng told the truth: "It was given to me by the original owner, and it was only transferred to my name these past two days."

“My God, this villa is worth at least $1.5 million, and he actually gave it to you? This is insane! Why would he give it to you?” Emma was both excited and shocked. “Although I don’t know who the original owner of this villa was, I know that the original owner was a very powerful and extremely wealthy tycoon. My boss once inadvertently revealed that this tycoon was the real tycoon; he could decide the life or death of any Hollywood film company with just a word. How did you get this villa from him? How could he possibly agree to give you such a mansion?”

Emma was excited, confused, and shocked all at once, and suddenly became very talkative, asking questions non-stop.

Chen Feng frowned slightly and said, "I won't go into the details, and you don't need to know. Anyway, this house is now in my name, so just know that. Also, Molly is staying here with me now. Do you want me to bring her to your place tomorrow?"

Upon hearing this, Emma instinctively refused, saying, "I think it's better not to." After saying that, she quickly added, "What I mean is that there might be five women present tomorrow, making six in total, including myself. They probably don't know Molly. If it's just me, it's definitely fine, but Molly's status is different after all. I feel it's a bit inappropriate for her to be with them. Do you understand what I mean?"

Chen Feng understood her meaning perfectly well. It was simply that Molly's status as the Lampson family's heiress would make other women, including Emma, ​​uncomfortable. They would feel pressured, and naturally, they wouldn't be able to chat and play games with Chen Feng properly.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go alone tomorrow, around what time?"

Emma thought for a moment and said, "I originally decided on tomorrow night, but since Molly is living with you now, I think it would be better to change it to daytime. How about 12 noon? We can have lunch together then and chat while we eat."

"OK, no problem, I'll contact you later."

After exchanging a few more words, the two hung up the phone. Chen Feng wasn't actually looking forward to this small party; he just felt awkward refusing the invitation.

However, after hanging up the phone, Chen Feng immediately searched for the two Hollywood actresses Emma had mentioned on his phone. One was named Millie, and the other was Sydney. A quick search revealed that, judging from photos alone, both were indeed beautiful. Sydney, in particular, surprised Chen Feng; she was roughly on par with Brienne of Tarth, but that was about it. Their only advantage was the aura of being Hollywood stars; what they actually looked like in person remained to be seen.

Finally, Chen Feng had some quiet time to continue reading his novel. Around 7:30 PM, his live-in nanny, Eliza, arrived with her child and a car full of luggage. Chen Feng, having been notified by Brina, went downstairs to check on them.

Chen Feng was mainly looking at the little boy, Eliza's son. He was nine years old, less than 9 meters tall, rather thin, with black curly hair, fair skin, and a somewhat reserved and nervous expression. Only at his mother Eliza's insistence did he speak to greet the group, especially Chen Feng, his host.

On the surface, the little boy did seem quite well-behaved and sensible. Moreover, Chen Feng sensed no negative emotions or malice from him. This was the most important point, and Chen Feng felt reassured. He offered a few words of comfort to the mother and son, and then let them move into the nanny's room.

It was getting late, so Chen Feng asked Brina to order. They went to the same two restaurants as last night, one serving Mexican food and the other Thai food, and ordered a little of each. However, considering that Eliza and her son had joined them, and Rachel and her daughter were coming soon, they decided to order more than they had yesterday.

Sure enough, Rachel arrived shortly after with her daughter and a car full of luggage. This time, Chen Feng didn't go downstairs to see her; instead, he stayed in his room to continue reading his novel.

It wasn't until around 8:4 p.m., when the two restaurants delivered dinner, that Chen Feng came downstairs. He met Rachel's daughter at the restaurant; the little girl was only four years old, with dark blonde curly hair, light blue eyes, and very cute and pretty features—truly a little beauty in the making.

Upon seeing her, Chen Feng couldn't help but think of his own daughter, and his affection for her grew even stronger. He couldn't help but praise her, saying, "Rachel, your daughter is truly an angel, she's so adorable. Lina wasn't wrong."

Rachel, as a mother, was naturally delighted to hear this and said with a smile, "Yes, she is my precious angel."

The little girl wasn't shy at all and was very polite. In her sweet, childish voice, she replied, "Brother, you're very handsome too, even more handsome than my deceased father. So, can you be my new father?" (End of Chapter)
