After the divorce, I started to transfer

Chapter 2009 Women Shouldn't Be Idle

Chen Feng played with the two children for over an hour, and then it was dinnertime. He ate at Liu Ying's place, and Hong Xiaodan joined him.

After dinner, the two children were taken to their respective nannies for a bath. After their bath, Chen Feng played with them on the playmat for a while. Then they went to nurse, and after nursing, both children fell asleep in the nannies' arms.

Both of their nannies were found through their respective families, and since they were related to each other, they were trustworthy and perceptive.

So, after the nanny left with the child, Liu Ying and Hong Xiaodan exchanged a glance and, with tacit understanding, pulled Chen Feng towards Liu Ying's bedroom. During this time, neither of them, or rather the three of them, said anything extra; everyone understood.

Two hours later, all three of them had taken a shower and were lying back in bed talking.

Liu Ying said, "Why don't you stay here and sleep tonight? It's already dark outside. Besides, you don't have anything to do back home, right?"

What Liu Ying really wanted to say was: "It seems like you won't have the energy to make a fuss if you go back. You might as well sleep here."

However, Chen Feng shook his head and refused, saying, "I have things to do when I get back. Who said I have nothing to do? I'll go back later and come see you again in a couple of days."

Seeing Chen Feng's refusal, Liu Ying felt uneasy and couldn't help but say, "Are you still so afraid of Wu Mengting? Is it because she made you decide that you have to go back to sleep at night?"

This statement has a somewhat provocative and provocative tone.

Chen Feng had never been particularly fond of Liu Ying, his "dark moonlight" (a term for someone he hadn't been with in his life). If it weren't for their child, he would have dumped her long ago. More importantly, he knew perfectly well that Liu Ying had never given up on her ambitions to climb the social ladder, yet she lacked any self-awareness. He couldn't tolerate that.

Therefore, Chen Feng directly scolded, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? I can go back whenever I want. I told you I have things to do tonight, and I also have things to do tomorrow morning. Okay, I'll go now, anyway, both kids are asleep."

He doesn't lack women now, and even if she gains status through her child and gives birth to a lovely daughter, Chen Feng would never marry her. After all, he has too many options now, and he would never choose Liu Ying to marry. Chen Feng has no intention of indulging her either. He originally wanted to chat with them a little longer, but now that Liu Ying has upset him, he's too lazy to stay and make himself uncomfortable.

So he quickly got out of bed, dressed rapidly, told them "I'm leaving," and swiftly went to open the door and left. From getting out of bed to getting dressed to disappearing, it took less than a minute—quite fast; the two women hadn't even had time to react.

Once he left and the bedroom door closed, the two women finally came to their senses. Hong Xiaodan said with some reproach, "Really, you know he doesn't like your nagging and complaining, but you still had to say it. See, you made him unhappy. This will only make him less and less willing to come and see us in the future."

Liu Ying also felt some regret, but she felt mostly resentment. Faced with Hong Xiaodan's blame, she could only try to make amends, saying, "I was just trying to sow discord between Wu Mengting and me, you saw how she replied to me before, how she didn't respect me. But clearly, Chen Feng is still on Wu's side. It's so late and she still has to go back, really, we've even had his child, and we still can't keep his heart."

Upon hearing this, Hong Xiaodan rolled her eyes and sighed, saying, "Sister, just face reality. Even if we have his child, the woman he truly loves isn't us. Compared to Wu Mengting, we're at most his mistresses, nothing more. I think you shouldn't think too highly of yourself."

Liu Ying disliked these words and retorted, "Then don't underestimate yourself. After all, we gave birth to his child. No matter what, he can't disown his own child, right? For the sake of our child, he'll look at us with more respect. Otherwise, where do you think I get the confidence to argue with him so often?"

Hong Xiaodan frowned and said, "But you can't make him unhappy every time, can you?"

Liu Ying sighed and said, "It's not that I deliberately upset him or made him unhappy. You saw and heard it yourself; his heart is still with that Wu woman, and he dotes on her immensely. Although he thinks highly of us, it's entirely because of our child. How can I accept that?"

Hearing Liu Ying's words, Hong Xiaodan felt a mix of emotions. They were in the same boat. Although she usually disapproved of some of Liu Ying's actions, they were now in a relationship of mutual benefit, so she refrained from blaming her. She reached out and hugged her, comforting her, "For now, we don't have any good solutions. Who told that woman surnamed Wu to be so seductive? But she is undeniably stunningly beautiful. It's understandable that Chen Feng is infatuated with her, but you know her personality—she's outwardly gentle but inwardly strong; she's not the type to give in easily. Sooner or later, Chen Feng will have a major conflict with her. Then, we just need to go with the flow and we can make them win her over."

What else could Liu Ying say? Although she knew the chances were slim, she also hoped that such a thing might happen someday. She could only nod and say, "I hope so."

When Chen Feng got into his car after going downstairs, he immediately called Tang Xinyi.

He hadn't forgotten about getting Liu Ying and Hong Xiaodan into the free children's nutrition lunch project. Those two women, especially Liu Ying, were really good at stirring things up. Getting them into this charity project and giving them something to do would definitely be better.

As soon as the call connected, Chen Feng asked directly, "Is the paperwork for the foundation's branch almost done? And how's the recruitment going?" Tang Xinyi paused for a moment before responding, "The paperwork is under review. I've used my connections, and it should be ready in five or six days at most. After all, we have the endorsement of the United Nations and the headquarters in the United States, so the paperwork is complete. As for staff, I'm already recruiting. I've already hired a few people: my assistant, an accountant, and a driver/security guard—all women. I'm still recruiting for the rest. Have you returned to China? Why don't you come over and help me recruit? Right now, it's just the two of us working together; we're a bit short-staffed."

Chen Feng said, "I've returned to China, but as you know, I've been busy these past few days and haven't had time to help you recruit. However, I can find two other people to help you. You should know them; one is Liu Ying, and the other is Hong Xiaodan."

Tang Xinyi had met Liu Ying before, so of course she knew her. As for Hong Xiaodan, Tang Xinyi didn't know her personally, but she had heard of her. She had been paying attention to Chen Feng's other women, especially those in Xiuzhou.

Upon hearing that Chen Feng was actually going to add these two women to his project team, she frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable, and asked directly, "Why are you suddenly adding them to the project team? Aren't they both stay-at-home moms? Don't they need to take care of their two children?"

Chen Feng spoke frankly: "Both of their children are five or six months old now, and they each have nannies to help take care of them. Especially Hong Xiaodan, she spends most of her time at home, bored out of her mind. Moreover, she has two nannies at home, and sometimes her parents come over to help take care of the children, so she can't get involved at all, and therefore wants to find something to do. In addition, as you know, our foundation has plenty of money, so I plan to give both of them the title of director in this project team. I will give them an annual salary of 100 million Chinese yuan, which is to keep the benefits within the family."

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Tang Xinyi knew that he had already made a decision. It would be tactless of her to object. She could only sigh and say, "If they're just nominally affiliated with our project team, I won't object. But if they want to interfere with the specific management and operation of this project team, then I will object. If you don't trust me, I can withdraw from this project team and hand it over to them for management and promotion."

Chen Feng quickly said, "Don't overthink it. They're just bored, so I gave them things to do to keep them from messing around and bothering me. You're the real person in charge and manager of this project team. They're just there to supervise and audit. They don't participate in the specific management and implementation of the project. Do you understand what I mean?"

So, you can give them titles like Operations Director or Inspection Specialist. I've already specifically discussed this with them beforehand. If you have no objections, I've given them your contact information so they can communicate directly with you. You can also have them help out with recruitment. Of course, it ultimately depends on you; you have the final decision-making and personnel appointment authority. They only have advisory and supervisory powers. Don't overthink it. I'm sending them there purely to pass the time, not to supervise you or anything.”

Since Chen Feng had made himself so clear, Tang Xinyi naturally couldn't object. She could only agree, saying, "Alright then, have them contact me directly, and I'll coordinate with them. I'm indeed short-staffed right now, and if they can help rather than hinder me, I'd be very happy to accept it."

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll come see you when I'm free in the next couple of days."

"It seems you've been very busy these past few days. But I'm busy too, so let's leave it at that for now." After saying that, Tang Xinyi took the initiative to hang up the phone.

Chen Feng knew she was a little angry, but he shook his head and didn't take it too seriously. He treated Tang Xinyi very well. He had saved her mother's life when she had cancer. Not to mention, she was now earning a high salary of $50, and she was about to make a big splash in the media, which would soon make her very famous in the domestic charity field. At that time, she would be enjoying both fame and fortune.

Chen Feng had never mistreated her and had a clear conscience. He'd let her throw a tantrum.

He started the car and drove home. It was already 9 p.m. Neither of the two women had gone upstairs to sleep; they were still watching TV in the living room. This time, neither woman came out to greet him when he drove into the yard. Chen Feng didn't mind, as there was no need. He wasn't the type to be formalistic or concerned with appearances.

"Did you go to Liu Ying's place today? And did you talk to her about the foundation?" Wu Mengting asked directly as soon as Chen Feng sat down on the sofa.

Chen Feng frowned slightly. He asked, "How did you know? Did Liu Ying contact you directly to tell you?"

Wu Mengting nodded and said, "Yes. She suddenly sent me a WeChat message about this, and said that you slept with Tang Xinyi. She also wanted me to stand with her and ask you to kick Tang Xinyi out of the foundation, but I didn't agree."

Chen Feng suddenly felt a headache coming on. Liu Ying was definitely a troublemaker. He had just returned from abroad, and she had already caused him trouble on their very first meeting.

After a moment of silence, Chen Feng said, "I put Tang Xinyi in charge of this free children's nutrition lunch project because she is the most suitable person right now. After all, none of you have the time. As you know, this project involves a lot of money. It was also the main purpose of my initial establishment of this charitable foundation, to spend as much money as possible in the field of charity in our country to help malnourished children."

"I trust Tang Xinyi; she'll be very responsible in executing and promoting this project. Besides, the project team will be recruiting more people and professionals. With these experienced people helping, as long as Tang Xinyi keeps a good grasp of the direction and directs them effectively, she'll definitely be able to complete the project successfully. You and Xiao Rui can also help supervise it, since you're now affiliated with the charity foundation. So, I casually mentioned it to Liu Ying. They were also very interested in the project, so I casually suggested they join the project team and get a salary too. But I didn't expect Liu Ying to not seem to trust Tang Xinyi very much. That woman can be really annoying sometimes."

Wu Mengting nodded in agreement and said, "She is indeed very annoying, and I also find her repulsive. If possible, I really suggest you dump her. It's not a big deal that she gave birth to a daughter for you. Besides, a daughter is a daughter, and she is herself. You just need to pay her child support on time."

Wu Mengting's words made Chen Feng frown. He certainly didn't want to hear this either. Because he loved his eldest daughter dearly, he wanted to give her complete fatherly love and the necessary family life. Even if it was a pretense, he wanted to pretend he and Liu Ying were a family, so that his precious daughter could feel the warmth of a family from a young age.

Wu Mengting's words sounded somewhat cold and heartless. Although he understood that his eldest daughter wasn't actually her daughter, he still felt a little uncomfortable. (End of Chapter)
