Chapter 214: Helping Yujiao Open a Shop

Before this, she had also heard Chen Feng tell Guo Mengyao that he had a hundred million.

But at that time, she didn’t quite believe it in her heart. She felt that Chen Feng’s net worth of one hundred million was a bit of a boast. She even guessed in her heart that Chen Feng’s net worth was at most about ten million.

After Chen Feng spent more than two million to buy the shop without even blinking an eye, her estimated personal assets of Chen Feng rose to twenty or thirty million.

But now, with Wu Mengting’s revelation, she finally believed that what Chen Feng had said to Guo Mengyao before was true. He really had a net worth of hundreds of millions.

Thinking of this, even if she was calm on the surface, her heart was still very shocked, and an unprecedented joy and admiration rose in her heart.

It seemed that being kept by a billionaire like Chen Feng was also a lucky thing.

“Is Sister Mengyao’s company really that valuable?” Lin Yujiao asked with a curious look.

Wu Mengting nodded, “Of course. The cosmetics her company sold before were all OEM. Now, they have directly acquired a cosmetics production factory in Linnan and are producing and selling themselves. I believe her company will have more development potential in the future.”

Chen Feng then asked her, “Didn’t you say you went to the factory yesterday? Have they started formal production?”

“Yes, they have started production. This factory mainly produced shampoo before, and it was also OEM. Now that Sister Guo has taken over, they have started to mainly produce lipstick and masks. Although they are still doing shampoo OEM, it has been reduced a lot. Now the company’s main products are lipstick and masks, which are selling very well online. After producing them themselves, not only is the quality more guaranteed, but the price is also much cheaper. They are more competitive.”

“That’s good.” Chen Feng nodded and didn’t continue to talk about this topic. He was quite confident in Guo Mengyao’s business ability. This time, Wu Mengting went to Linnan to inspect Mengyao’s company, not at Chen Feng’s suggestion, but because Wu Mengting was looking for something to do as his assistant, so she took the initiative to volunteer to go.

“Yujiao, now that you know my brother is so rich, do you have any ideas?” Wu Mengting raised her eyebrows at Yujiao and asked with a smile.

Lin Yujiao glanced at Chen Feng and asked back with a relaxed expression, “What ideas can I have?”

Wu Mengting said with a smile, “My brother doesn’t have an official girlfriend yet. You can consider working hard to become one.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Chen Feng frowned and looked at Wu Mengting. He was a little angry and also a little confused as to why Wu Mengting was encouraging Lin Yujiao.

And it was in front of him.

Lin Yujiao also looked at Wu Mengting with some surprise. She knew that Wu Mengting was interested in Chen Feng, but now she was saying such a thing, which was obviously not sincere.

“I don’t have such a big ambition. On the contrary, you, are you really planning to be Brother Feng’s god-sister forever?”

Lin Yujiao’s counterattack was quite sharp.

However, Wu Mengting was also quite experienced now. She smiled and shook her head, “There’s nothing wrong with me being my brother’s sister now. No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. I just hope to live well in the present.”

Lin Yujiao smiled and didn’t continue to be at loggerheads with Wu Mengting.

Just then, the waiter pushed the door open and brought the dishes. The three of them began to eat.

Next, the three of them chatted about some gossip and news until they finished their meal.

During this period, Wu Mengting received several calls, but she didn’t answer them after looking at them. In the end, she simply turned her phone to silent.

After leaving the restaurant, the three of them strolled around nearby. It was almost ten o’clock before Wu Mengting sent them back to the hotel they were staying at, at Chen Feng’s request. Then she arranged to come over to see the shop with Chen Feng tomorrow morning.

Watching Chen Feng and Lin Yujiao walk into the hotel together, Wu Mengting secretly hoped that Lin Yujiao had really been bewitched by her before and really wanted to become Chen Feng’s girlfriend.

If that were the case, Wu Mengting could guarantee that it wouldn’t be long before Chen Feng broke off his relationship with her.

Because according to her understanding of Chen Feng, he would be disgusted by a woman he kept having ideas she shouldn’t have, especially when she overreacted, she might be abandoned by him.

Sun Xiaorui had privately told her about this situation when they were together before. At that time, she wanted to go to Chen Feng’s hometown, but Chen Feng had been against it. At the beginning, he would reply a little, but in the end, he was too lazy to reply to her. So much so that she was once worried that Chen Feng didn’t want her anymore.

So after she returned to Xiuzhou and reunited with Chen Feng, she had been content to be a kept woman and did not dare to show any thoughts or actions of wanting to become the main wife.

This was also one of the main reasons why Wu Mengting was still on good terms with Sun Xiaorui now.

But even so, Wu Mengting still felt a little blocked in her heart about Sun Xiaorui. It was just that considering Chen Feng’s terminal illness and that Sun Xiaorui was not a difficult person to get along with, she could tolerate it.

But she didn’t want to have another one like Lin Yujiao in her hometown. She had already been very tolerant during the New Year. She had thought that after the New Year, Chen Feng would break up with Lin Yujiao, but now it seemed that Chen Feng was still unforgettable about Lin Yujiao and had looked for her as soon as he came back.

This naturally made Wu Mengting feel some hostility towards Lin Yujiao in her heart.

This was also human nature. She could tolerate Sun Xiaorui, but she might not be able to tolerate Lin Yujiao. Even if Lin Yujiao also seemed not difficult to get along with. But why did she have to get along with Lin Yujiao? Wouldn’t it be better to let her be dumped by Chen Feng?

Of course, Chen Feng and Lin Yujiao didn’t expect Wu Mengting to have such thoughts.

Chen Feng had always felt that Lin Yujiao was very dutiful, and from the beginning, he had made it clear to her that they were just in a purely physical relationship, not an emotional one, or even a business relationship, and that was it.

Lin Yujiao had also thought so at the beginning, but as she got to know Chen Feng better and as Chen Feng helped her more and more, she naturally developed the feelings that a woman has for a man she admires.

Although she had repeatedly warned herself in her heart not to fall in love with a man again, who told Chen Feng to be so rich? And to take such good care of her.

As a divorced woman, she was not afraid of men who had ideas about her, but she was afraid of men like Chen Feng who gave her all kinds of care and money, because in the face of such a man, it was difficult for her not to fall, not only physically, but also emotionally.

So now that she knew Chen Feng had a net worth of hundreds of millions, was she eager to become the main wife?

That was not the case. It wasn’t that Lin Yujiao hadn’t thought about it, but she was more able to recognize herself and Chen Feng’s true feelings for her.

She was a divorced woman, and she had long been more rational than emotional.

Although she was now very sure that she had fallen in love with Chen Feng a little, she was even more sure that Chen Feng had no intention of talking about feelings with her at this stage, let alone marriage.

So, she was very clear that if she overreacted to Chen Feng, it would only destroy her current “harmonious” relationship with him, and even lose his care for her.

From this point of view, Wu Mengting had undoubtedly miscalculated. After all, she was still young, had never even been in a relationship, let alone been married and divorced. She completely did not understand the mentality of a divorced woman who had been hurt by a man.

Lin Yujiao and Chen Feng returned to the hotel room. Because they had just interacted and outputted not long ago, the two of them were rarely lying side by side on the bed, watching TV and chatting idly.

“How much stock did you get in Guangzhou this time?” Chen Feng asked.

“Twenty or thirty thousand worth of goods, just to test the waters first.”

“Did you bring it?”

“I brought it. It’s in my trunk. Twenty or thirty thousand worth of goods is not much.”

“That’s good. It saves you another trip. By the way, let’s rent a house here tomorrow. We can ask Mengting for help.”

“No need to trouble her. It should be easy to rent a place through an agent.”

“Anyway, we’ll be together tomorrow. Let’s ask this local first. Maybe her relatives and friends have a house to rent, which is much more reliable than finding an agent.”

“Alright then.”

…

The next morning, at 6:30, Wu Mengting called, saying that she was already downstairs at the hotel.

Both Chen Feng and Lin Yujiao were a little speechless. Fortunately, they had slept well last night and had fallen asleep before eleven. It wasn’t too uncomfortable to be woken up like this.

However, Chen Feng had originally wanted to do some exercise with her in the morning.

Now that Wu Mengting had interrupted, it was a bit inappropriate.

About half an hour later, after they had both washed up, they went downstairs to meet Wu Mengting, and then went to the shop.

It was just a small shop of six square meters, so there was nothing much to see. The main purpose of coming here now was to help Lin Yujiao take it over, then sign a lease contract, and then find a renovation team to renovate it and open for business immediately. It would be best to get it done in two or three days.

After opening the roller shutter door and looking all the way to the end, Chen Feng had Wu Mengting, his assistant, take out the lease contract that had been prepared long ago and sign it with Lin Yujiao. The lease term was three years, the monthly rent was six thousand, and the rent was paid monthly.

Besides that, there was no other excessive content.

The two of them signed the contract in this empty shop, and each kept a copy.

Lin Yujiao was very happy and said she would treat them to lunch. Chen Feng smiled and didn’t refuse, and Wu Mengting was even more so.

Next, Chen Feng told Wu Mengting about renting a house.

Wu Mengting didn’t deliberately not help. After thinking for a while, she took the initiative to take out her phone and make a few calls, and then she found a relatively suitable rental house for her.

It was only two or three kilometers away from Longhua Street. The three of them immediately went to see the house.

It was in a neighborhood that was nearly twenty years old, but the walls had been repainted, and the access control of the neighborhood was not bad. At least there was a security guard at the main entrance of the neighborhood, and it was not an old man, but a middle-aged uncle, and he had the necessary vigilance. The three of them were stopped when they wanted to go in and were only allowed to enter after registering.

The landlord was an old friend of Wu Mengting’s father, the kind who had personal connections, and the two families knew each other. He warmly greeted the three of them to see the house.

He had three houses in this neighborhood, and the one he was renting out now was the smallest, a one-bedroom, one-living room, about sixty square meters. It had a bed, a refrigerator, a TV, an air conditioner, and a water heater.

He had been renting this house out before, but the last tenant was inconsiderate and often brought a group of fellow villagers to drink and make a lot of noise, and was often complained about by the neighbors. Later, there was even a public security incident.

Of course, it was not a criminal case, but the tenant was drinking with a few fellow villagers, but for some reason, he had an argument with one of them, and then they fought. The fight was very fierce, and in the end, they had to call the police. The tenant was also arrested for intentional injury.

He, the landlord, was even called to the police station because of this, which made him not want to rent it out anymore.

This time, if Wu Mengting hadn’t called and asked him, he wouldn’t have rented it out. Now that he saw this female tenant, Lin Yujiao, and knew that she was opening a clothing store on Longhua Street, he felt that she was very reliable. In addition, with Wu Mengting’s face, this landlord didn’t even ask for a deposit. He only required the rent to be paid every three months, and the monthly rent was one thousand five hundred, which could be said to be very cheap.

So, Lin Yujiao immediately rented this house.

After the house was settled, Lin Yujiao immediately found the phone number of the renovation team she had contacted long ago, called to contact them for renovation, and arranged a meeting time in the afternoon.

Taking advantage of this time, she also began to clean the rental house. Chen Feng also rarely helped, cleaning out some things that needed to be thrown away.

Seeing this, Wu Mengting couldn’t just stand by and helped to wipe the windows.

The three of them worked together, and the room was not big. It was done in about an hour.

Next, at Chen Feng’s reminder, they also specially went to buy a new door lock and some daily necessities.

When it was almost done, it was noon.

Lin Yujiao kept her word and treated them to lunch. The place she chose was the restaurant they had eaten at last night. The taste here was indeed very good, and the price was not very expensive.

The three of them ordered eight dishes together, and in the end, it was only over four hundred yuan.

After eating, they chatted for a while before the three of them went out to the shop together.

Not long after, the boss of the shop renovation team came over. Lin Yujiao had contacted him long ago. After agreeing on the price and plan, they signed a preliminary contract, paid the deposit, and started work immediately. The renovation could be completed the day after tomorrow, and then of course, it could open for business.

After paying the money here, the renovation team was indeed very fast. Lin Yujiao gave some instructions to the foreman. After seeing them start to get busy, she didn’t stay here any longer. She told Chen Feng that she was going back to Linnan to move her luggage and asked if Chen Feng wanted to go with her.

Since she had said so, of course, Chen Feng went with her. After all, she was a girl, and she definitely needed a man to help her move.

Lin Yujiao was very satisfied with this.

And Wu Mengting also said she could go over to help. She had a car, after all, and could help to carry more things.

Lin Yujiao didn’t refuse and expressed her thanks to her.

So, the three of them drove to Linnan in two cars. At Wu Mengting’s request, Chen Feng got into her car. Lin Yujiao didn’t object to this.

After getting into the car, Chen Feng immediately told Wu Mengting not to tell his mother that he was back.

Wu Mengting was a little confused about this and asked him the reason.

Chen Feng said, “I’m afraid that if my mom knows I’m back, she’ll have to keep me for ten days or half a month before she lets me go back to Xiuzhou.”

Wu Mengting asked, “Don’t you think it’s good to stay in your hometown?”

“Of course not,” Chen Feng said affirmatively. “I’ve lived in Xiuzhou for more than ten years, and I’m used to living there. Besides, I’m so old now. It’s not right to live with my parents anymore, don’t you think?”

Wu Mengting said, “I don’t think so. Your parents are very easy to talk to. Besides, you don’t have a formal job in Xiuzhou. You just trade stocks, which you can also do in your hometown. Besides, you’ve invested in Sister Guo’s company now. Don’t you, the shareholder, have to keep an eye on it yourself?”
