After the divorce, I started to transfer

Although Wu Mengting's words made some sense, Chen Feng was not really willing to listen to them because he trusted Zhou Qianru very much.

After all, he met the best version of her at the best age of his life. In a way, Zhou Qianru was his true white moonlight, while Liu Ying was at most his dark moonlight.

Moreover, what Chen Feng just said was correct. Chen Feng did indeed save Zhou Qianru's life. He accompanied her to Houston for medical treatment, not only running around taking care of her but also paying for her medical expenses.

Zhou Qianru is indeed childless and without relatives. In fact, the only person she can rely on is Chen Feng, the younger brother she took in years ago. Their relationship is indeed that of siblings, and quite close at that; they trust each other completely.

Wu Mengting's words just now had a somewhat provocative tone, which made Chen Feng feel uneasy.

However, he also knew that Wu Mengting was unaware of their past, as well as the tacit understanding and trust they shared. Therefore, Chen Feng didn't blame Wu Mengting.

He simply changed the subject, saying, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. We can't find anyone more suitable to replace Sister Qianru for the time being, don't you think? So we should still trust her."

"As I also mentioned, even if she wanted to embezzle the foundation's money, it would be very difficult and risky. After all, over there, embezzling foundation money carries a very high penalty; you could really be arrested and imprisoned. She doesn't lack money, and she's not the kind of person who's greedy, so don't overthink it."

Seeing Chen Feng's words, Wu Mengting knew to stop.

In reality, her goal wasn't to replace Zhou Qianru right now. Indeed, as Chen Feng said, even if she replaced Zhou Qianru, she couldn't find a more suitable replacement. And she herself couldn't possibly be stationed at the headquarters in San Francisco long-term.

For now, Zhou Qianru can only be responsible for the daily management of the foundation. If a more suitable person is found in the future, she will definitely try to persuade Chen Feng to replace Zhou Qianru. Or, once she finds a suitable candidate to take over the management of Fengmang Film and Television, she will personally go there to take charge and take over the management of the foundation.

Wealth can be a powerful motivator. She was no exception.

Upon hearing Chen Feng mention that the foundation's funds have reached nearly $10 billion, how could she entrust it to outsiders? It would be most sensible to have herself or someone she completely trusts take over.

She had already assumed the role of Chen Feng's wife, or rather, the rightful heiress. Chen Feng's assets should not fall into the hands of outsiders, especially not those glamorous and cheap women.

Although it seems there's nothing between Chen Feng and Zhou Qianru at the moment, she still can't be completely at ease. Therefore, it's necessary to sow discord beforehand, or at least make Chen Feng more vigilant.

“Well, it really doesn’t seem like there are any more suitable candidates right now. The system designs you just mentioned do sound pretty good. But outsiders are outsiders after all, and with such a large amount of money involved, I don’t think anyone else is quite suitable besides the two of us,” Wu Mengting said.

Chen Feng jokingly asked, "What about Xiao Rui? Don't you think Xiao Rui is suitable either?"

Wu Mengting frowned slightly and said, "Of course she's not suitable. Her English is too poor; she can't even have fluent ordinary conversations, let alone handle professional terminology. If we send her there, how will she communicate with people? How will she carry out her work?"

Chen Feng smiled and didn't say anything more. He changed the subject and asked, "Have you gone back to your hometown to check on my parents?"

Wu Mengting nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I went back last week and visited your parents as well. They're both doing well. But I could tell they miss you. After all, it's been quite a while since we last saw each other. I think you should take some time to go back and see them."

Chen Feng nodded: "Of course, I'll try to go back and see them in a couple of days. But as you know, if I go back to my hometown now, a lot of people will come looking for me, and there will be a lot of trouble, so I'll try to avoid going back if I can."

Wu Mengting understood this. News of Chen Feng becoming wealthy, even a billionaire, had already spread back to their hometown. So, people with connections, and even complete strangers, would frequently come to his parents to try and curry favor.

Such things are unavoidable in rural areas. Therefore, it's best for Chen Feng, the person involved, to avoid going back if possible.

The two chatted for a while longer before Sun Xiaorui brought over some tea. The dishes and chopsticks were already in the dishwasher for automatic washing, so she no longer needed to wash them by hand as before.

After she arrived, the two of them couldn't keep speaking their hometown dialect, so they switched to Mandarin.

Wu Mengting then looked at Sun Xiaorui and said, "You need to hurry up and learn English. Otherwise, it won't be good if you can't speak a word of English when you go to America. I might send you to work for a foundation there in the future, so you must learn English well."

A slight hint of embarrassment flashed across Sun Xiaorui's face. Her English wasn't actually that good; she hadn't even passed the CET-4 (College English Test Band 4) in college. After all, she only had a junior college diploma.

"I understand. Actually, I've been studying, but I haven't been very diligent. I should be able to hold a normal conversation now. However, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to handle working at the foundation. Because if I really want to learn English well and understand those English documents, I'll have some difficulty."

Wu Mengting said, "It's not that you have to go to work right now. Maybe you'll have to wait two or three years, or even several years. You should take advantage of these two or three years to study hard, and you'll definitely learn it. You can even hire a private tutor to teach you English every day and have conversations with you in English. Otherwise, as my brother's business grows bigger and more international, if your English level can't keep up, are you going to hand over such a big business to outsiders to manage?"

That sounded a bit preachy. However, Sun Xiaorui was used to it, and besides, what Wu Mengting said did make sense.

Compared to Chen Feng's other women, her personal abilities were indeed somewhat weaker. Take English for example; Chen Feng's other women, even Lin Yujiao from Chen Feng's hometown, despite only having a junior high school diploma, seemed to have a fairly good level of English. Not to mention Guo Mengyao, Hong Xiaodan, and Liu Ying, whose English was excellent and who could communicate fluently with foreigners.

"I understand, I will study hard. There are many one-on-one English tutoring courses online now, so I will buy a course."

Sun Xiaorui's statement pleased Wu Mengting, who nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's good. There do seem to be quite a few one-on-one English lessons online. You can pay to learn, but the most important thing is that you have to work hard and memorize words. There are no shortcuts. Also, you need to speak and practice more. First and foremost, you need to improve your spoken English. You don't need to take an exam, but you must be able to understand English documents in the future."

Hearing this, Sun Xiaorui could only obediently nod. After all, the other person was doing it for her own good.

The conversation then became a bit lighter. Wu Mengting mainly talked to Chen Feng about some current issues at the company.

Overall, the company is doing better and better. General Manager Ren Ziyu has managed the company very well, and his investment acumen is also excellent.

Currently, she has recommended investing in two films and two TV series, with a total investment of approximately 8000 million yuan. Of course, this was all decided jointly by the three of them after discussion.

If we include the TV series that the company itself invested in, namely "Her Century," which Wu Mengting is currently filming, the company has invested in three TV series so far.

Currently, one of the films has been released and is doing quite well at the box office, with Fengmang Films expected to earn five to six million yuan in profit. The other film is also nearing completion. Of course, both films are primarily invested in and led by other entertainment companies; Fengmang Films only has an investment quota.

Of the three TV series, one was entirely produced by Fengmang Pictures, while the other two were produced by other entertainment companies. However, artists under their company's umbrella have all landed significant roles in these productions. For example, Hao Xiaolian, who recently joined Fengmang Pictures, brought three artists with her, including A-list male actor Du Kai, who directly participated in the second film they invested in. Although not the male lead, he played a very important supporting role, essentially the second male lead.

The two other second-tier actresses she brought along also participated in the two TV series invested in by their company.

Yan Baiqiu, a young actress who recently joined their company, is being offered a leading role in a TV series produced by the company. The project is currently in talks with other entertainment companies.

In short, their Fengmang Film and Television Company is thriving. It's growing in scale and performing better than ever before; it's no longer the small company it once was.

Of course, their Fengmang Film and Television Company isn't exactly large-scale yet. After all, although the number of employees and signed artists has increased, it still only has a little over a hundred people.

However, their capital scale is already comparable to that of medium-sized entertainment companies in China, and their profit margin is off the charts in the industry, making them unique in the domestic entertainment sector.

It's fair to say that since Chen Feng founded Fengmang Films, almost every film and television project they've invested in has been profitable. Especially in television dramas, they've produced several hit series in a row. Therefore, now not only people within the industry know about Fengmang Films, but even some people outside the industry are gradually becoming aware of them.

More importantly, within the industry, Fengmang Film & Television Company boasts a strong background, ample financial resources, and a reputation for integrity in business. Everyone who has worked with them speaks highly of them, and their reputation continues to grow. Naturally, more and more individuals and companies are seeking to collaborate with them.

Chen Feng was quite pleased with this. After all, when he founded Fengmang Pictures, although he didn't have grand ambitions, he certainly hoped the company would do better and better. And now, the company was indeed doing better and better.

The three chatted about the company, and there was plenty to talk about. After all, the company had grown larger, with more employees and more investment projects, so there were many things to discuss.

Even Sun Xiaorui now speaks fluently and knowledgeably about company matters. Perhaps influenced by Wu Mengting, she seems to be becoming increasingly career-driven.

Chen Feng was not happy about this. It was one thing for Wu Mengting to be career-minded, but if Sun Xiaorui was also career-minded, who would take care of him when he came home?

So when Chen Feng saw that they were getting more and more excited, he took the initiative to end the topic, saying that he was going upstairs to take a shower and that it was getting late, so everyone should get some rest.

It was only 9 p.m., actually. But Chen Feng said it was getting late, and the two of them understood what he meant, so they both blushed unconsciously.

Chen Feng didn't say much to them. He simply stood up, smiled at them, and went upstairs first. What to do that evening—who went first, who went later, or whether they should go together—was up to them to decide.

When Chen Feng finished showering in his bedroom and came out, he picked up his phone and saw a message from Sun Xiaorui saying that she wasn't feeling well that day and asked him to sleep at Wu Mengting's place.

Chen Feng understood immediately; this was somewhat expected.

Although Wu Mengting wasn't particularly enthusiastic about sex, she had previously been very eager to have a child. But for some reason, after a period of time, Wu Mengting didn't conceive. She stopped mentioning it and became less proactive about sex.

Chen Feng wondered if Wu Mengting still harbored the same feelings after their long-awaited reunion. Therefore, he wanted to find an opportunity to ask her this time.

Even though she no longer mentions it, Chen Feng can't keep pretending to be confused; he'll definitely need to get to the bottom of it. After all, Wu Mengting isn't young anymore; she's perfectly capable of getting pregnant and having children.

So Chen Feng, wearing a bathrobe, opened the door and went to Wu Mengting's room next door. After knocking symbolically twice, he turned the doorknob and went inside.

At that moment, Wu Mengting was also taking a shower, and the sound of rushing water could be heard from the bathroom.

After a slight hesitation, Chen Feng closed the door, walked to the bathroom door, and called out, "I'm coming in."

Without waiting for Wu Mengting inside to hear him, he pushed open the bathroom door. And it actually opened; the bathroom door wasn't locked.

The ceiling exhaust fan was blowing loudly, but the bathroom was still filled with steam. Through the hazy light, a beautiful figure could be vaguely seen in the shower room; it was indistinct through the glass, but the outline was clear.

The sound of running water stopped, and Wu Mengting turned around to look at him in the bathroom. She didn't say anything, but just stood there quietly.

Chen Feng immediately understood, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth as he untied the straps on his bathrobe.

More than an hour later, the two lay side by side on the bed. Wu Mengting's breathing had become steady, and Chen Feng asked directly, "I remember you seemed to really want a child before, but why hasn't anything happened since?"

Wu Mengting, whose eyes were slightly closed, blinked slightly when she heard Chen Feng ask this question. However, she did not open her eyes, but said calmly, "Later I thought about it, and I realized that I was still too young. I didn't want to become a mother so early, so I didn't insist anymore."

Chen Feng was somewhat reserved about her words, and frowned as he asked, "So you didn't get pregnant when we didn't use protection?"

Wu Mengting said, "I didn't get pregnant, so I stopped trying. At first I was a little impulsive, but after several attempts I still didn't get pregnant, so I felt that it might be God's arrangement, and I stopped trying."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Feng still asked, "Didn't you ever suspect that there was something wrong with your body? Did you go to the hospital to see a doctor?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Mengting wasn't angry. She kept her eyes closed and said softly, "I've had a checkup. The doctor said there's nothing wrong with my body, but my constitution might not be the type that allows me to conceive easily."

Chen Feng was relieved to hear this, put his arm around her, kissed her on the cheek, and said with a smile, "That's good. I was really worried that there might be something wrong with your health. You should know that I really want to have a child with you."

Wu Mengting pursed her lips, opened her eyes, and, unusually, returned his kiss, saying with a smile, "Actually, I've thought about it too, but it really depends on luck. So I didn't take any precautions. If I get pregnant, then I'll be happy; if not, I won't force it."

Chen Feng laughed and said, "You have a good attitude. But as long as we work hard, we'll definitely get pregnant."

Wu Mengting nodded, not saying anything more, and nestled her head against his chest, nuzzling him. (End of Chapter)
