Chapter 145: Eat Xiaoyao Pills for a Fiery Heart

Guo Mengyao seemed to have not sung karaoke for a long time. Once she started singing, she didn’t let go of the microphone. She sang five or six songs in a row and still wasn’t satisfied. A microphone hog, no doubt.

Her singing skills could only be said to be mediocre. She didn’t go off-key or break her voice, but there was nothing particularly outstanding.

After she had sung for at least half an hour and was thirsty, she finally paused to drink a beverage.

“This drink is not comfortable to drink. It’s better to drink beer.”

Guo Mengyao took a sip of watermelon juice and immediately put it down. She picked up a bottle of Snow beer on the coffee table, opened it, and started chugging it down. In a short while, the bottle was empty. She drank it all in one go.

This bold and unrestrained manner made the three of them, Chen Feng, stunned.

Chen Feng had ordered a large private room, which came with a box of twenty-four small bottles of Snow Ice Cool beer, as well as a fruit platter and some snacks. Chen Feng didn’t know about it at first. He only found out when it was delivered. He was too lazy to return it, so he just left it there.

The three of them, Chen Feng, had no intention of drinking. Guo Mengyao came over and finished a bottle first.

“Mengyao, you can really drink. You just finished a bottle like that. Amazing!”

Chen Feng teased with a smile.

“This Snow beer tastes like plain water. And it’s such a small bottle. What’s so amazing? Come on, let’s all have a bottle.”

Guo Mengyao picked up two bottles and handed them to Chen Feng and Wu Mengting.

Chen Feng smiled and took it. As a man, of course he wouldn’t be outdone by a woman. Besides, this small bottle of Snow beer really tasted like plain water.

Wu Mengting, on the other hand, quickly shook her head and refused, “I won’t drink. I have to drive back.”

“What about you?” Guo Mengyao handed it to Lin Yujiao again.

Lin Yujiao smiled and took it.

“OK, let’s have a toast.”

Guo Mengyao raised a bottle and said to the two of them. Then she chugged it down again and finished another bottle.

Chen Feng was a little dumbfounded. He really didn’t know that Guo Mengyao could drink before.

Of course, in high school, to be honest, he didn’t know her very well. After all, at that time, he was focused on studying and getting into college.

In addition, a girl changes eighteen times. It had been eleven years. It was not strange that she had become so good at drinking.

“Drink!”

At Guo Mengyao’s urging, Chen Feng finally woke up as if from a dream and also finished a bottle.

To be honest, this Snow beer was not as strong as Budweiser, nor as refreshing as Harbin beer. It could only be said to be passable.

Lin Yujiao also drank a bottle. Seeing her calm and composed look, it was needless to say that she was also a good drinker.

Chen Feng had just learned this. The last time the two of them came here, they didn’t drink.

“Good! Continue.”

As Guo Mengyao spoke, she opened another bottle for herself. Chen Feng was suddenly a little scared and quickly stopped her, “Don’t! How can you drink so fiercely? Drink slowly. It’s so cold. If you drink so much in one go, you’ll definitely feel uncomfortable.”

It was now the twelfth lunar month. Although it was the south, the temperature at night could also be below zero. Drinking cold beer at this time was really not a good choice.

“It’s very comfortable,” Guo Mengyao said with a smile. “I’ve been having a lot of things on my mind recently, and my heart is on fire. This cold beer is just right to put it out.”

Chen Feng teased casually, “If a woman’s heart is on fire, she can eat Xiaoyao pills.”

Guo Mengyao looked at him with a smile and said, “You know a lot. You know women very well.”

Chen Feng shrugged and said, “I’ve had a girlfriend, after all. Of course I know some things about women. Listen to me, if your heart is on fire and you’re depressed, you should eat Xiaoyao pills, not drink cold beer.”

“Thank you for your kindness, but I just want to drink beer now.”

After saying that, Guo Mengyao opened another bottle and chugged it down in one go.

Seeing her like this, Chen Feng knew that she was telling the truth just now. She really had a fiery heart, otherwise she wouldn’t drink like this.

So, Chen Feng didn’t persuade her anymore. He just said to her, “Come on, sit down and rest for a while. Eat something to sober up.”

This time, Guo Mengyao didn’t refuse. She sat down directly next to Chen Feng and then picked up some snacks on the coffee table and started eating.

“Chen Feng, you’re still as considerate and caring as you were when we were in school,” Guo Mengyao said with a faint smile as she ate, turning her head to look at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng was not a virgin anymore. Thinking of what Qin Zhen had said before that she had a crush on him in high school, he also said with a grin, “Your smile is still so sincere and beautiful. Every time I see your smile, my mood will get better.”

“Pfft!”

It was Wu Mengting who had just drunk a beverage and spat it out. Both Chen Feng and Guo Mengyao looked at her in surprise. The atmosphere of reminiscing about the good old days was instantly destroyed.

She quickly stood up, took a tissue from the coffee table to wipe her mouth, and then looked at Chen Feng and Guo Mengyao with embarrassment, “I’m sorry. My brother’s words were too cheesy just now. I couldn’t hold it in.”

“Your brother?” Guo Mengyao looked at Chen Feng in surprise. “Didn’t you say she was your friend before? When did she become your sister?”

Before Chen Feng could answer, Wu Mengting rushed to say, “I’m his god-sister. We met in Xiuzhou. We’re both from Lushi. We got to know each other very well after a while. I originally wanted to be his girlfriend, but he didn’t agree, so I could only be his god-sister.”

“Oh, I see. Haha, are you sure you’re not kidding?” Guo Mengyao obviously didn’t believe it and looked at Chen Feng again with a smile.

Because this was the truth, Chen Feng couldn’t deny it in person. It was just that he really didn’t expect Wu Mengting to say it so directly, which was a bit embarrassing.

“Is it true?” Seeing that Chen Feng didn’t deny it, of course Guo Mengyao knew it was true. She couldn’t help but look at Wu Mengting with some surprise and said with a smile, “I don’t know whether to praise you for your good taste. Or should I say you’re stupid?”

Wu Mengting didn’t seem to mind at all and said with a smile, “Of course I have good taste. Although my brother is divorced, a little fat now, a little fickle, and a little thick-skinned, he’s still quite good in other aspects.”

Chen Feng had a black line on his face.

Guo Mengyao looked at Chen Feng in surprise again, “You’re divorced?”

“Yes,” Chen Feng said calmly. “It’s been a few months. I heard you’re married too and have a daughter, right?”

After being stunned for a moment, Guo Mengyao sighed, “My marriage is not very good either. We’ve been separated for almost a year. If it weren’t for my daughter, I would have filed for divorce in court long ago.”

“Uh, this… it’s really true that every family has its own difficulties. Here, this grilled fish fillet is not bad. You should try it.”

Chen Feng quickly changed the subject. It was better to talk less about divorce, otherwise it would be awkward for both of them.

But Guo Mengyao obviously didn’t think so. After taking a piece of fish fillet, she continued, “My daughter is five years old. What about you? Do you have any children?”

Chen Feng quickly shook his head.

“How many years have you been married? Why don’t you have any children?”
Hearing this, Chen Feng felt as if she was questioning his fertility. He subconsciously explained, “My ex-wife and I used to work in Xiuzhou and lived in a rented house. We didn’t have much money, so of course we postponed the plan to have children. Fortunately, otherwise, if we had a child, it would be really difficult to get a divorce.”

Guo Mengyao nodded, “That’s true. You don’t have any children to hold you back now. It’s still relatively easy to find a young person to remarry. It’s difficult for someone like me.”

“Come on! Let’s have a drink.”

Chen Feng really didn’t want to continue the topic of marriage with her. He took the initiative to open a bottle of wine and handed it to her. He also opened a bottle for himself.

After Guo Mengyao took it, she raised her head and chugged it down in one go.

Chen Feng was speechless. He asked, “I say, you drink too fiercely. Were you always so good at drinking?”

After Guo Mengyao took a tissue to wipe the corner of her mouth, she said with a smile, “My dad is a drunkard. I could drink beer when I was in elementary school. I often drank at home, and my dad even encouraged me. Later, when I was in society and doing business, I had to drink even more at social gatherings. Gradually, my alcohol tolerance became greater. For this kind of beer, I can drink a whole box without any problem.”

What else could Chen Feng say? He could only give her a thumbs up and say, “You’re awesome.”

Chen Feng didn’t compete with her anymore. He just took a sip and then ate something.

Guo Mengyao continued, “There are a lot of divorced people now. If you plan to find someone again, what kind of person are you looking for?”

Chen Feng shook his head directly, “I’m not planning to look for anyone.”

“Heh, that’s impossible. Are you planning to be a bachelor?”

“Of course not a bachelor. I’m not short of women now.”

Guo Mengyao laughed, “That’s true. You have two with you. I don’t know what charm you have.”

“You don’t know my charm. In high school, there was a large group of girls who had a crush on me.”

“Haha, that’s true. But you’re not the little fresh meat you used to be. Your god-sister even said you’re fat.”

Although the two of them hadn’t seen each other for eleven years, they had been classmates at the front and back desks for three years in high school. In addition, with this occasion, they felt that they had become familiar again.

In addition, both of them were a little outspoken, so they didn’t have any particular taboos when they spoke to each other.

It was just that Wu Mengting didn’t like some of Guo Mengyao’s words. She interrupted and said, “Actually, Yujiao is my brother’s girlfriend now. It’s just that my brother has no intention of getting married for the time being, so they can only get along for now.”

“Ah, she’s your girlfriend?”

Guo Mengyao was surprised and looked at Lin Yujiao, who had been silent at the innermost part of the sofa.

Lin Yujiao was also a little stunned. At first, she really didn’t know why Wu Mengting would say that, but she was not a stupid person. She immediately guessed Wu Mengting’s thoughts.

It was nothing more than that she didn’t want Guo Mengyao, a woman who had a crush on Chen Feng, to have any ideas about Chen Feng, so she pulled her out as a shield.

So, Lin Yujiao also cooperated and said, “Yes, I’m his girlfriend.”

Her words were not against the rules. After all, Chen Feng himself had said so before.

“What do you mean by ‘is considered a girlfriend’? Is there such a thing as ‘is considered a girlfriend’?” Guo Mengyao immediately grasped the key point.

Wu Mengting explained ambiguously, “My brother doesn’t want to get married for the time being, so their relationship is a bit complicated.”

“Oh, I see.” Guo Mengyao was a smart person and immediately made up her mind. It was nothing more than a friends-with-benefits relationship. Chen Feng didn’t want to be responsible but was greedy for Lin Yujiao’s body, while Lin Yujiao wanted to be his girlfriend and even get married, but she had not succeeded.

To be honest, Chen Feng was a bit of a scumbag. But Guo Mengyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and teased with a smile, “Chen Feng, you’ve become bad.”

Under such circumstances, of course Chen Feng couldn’t deny it. It was even more impossible to say that Lin Yujiao was his kept mistress. He could only smile with some embarrassment and change the subject, “You went to the Yujing Grand Hotel before to talk about business, right? Was it successful?”

Guo Mengyao nodded and said, “It was quite successful. I plan to acquire a cosmetics factory in our county. The other party is also willing to sell. So, we had a meal together. There were also a few leaders from the economic management department at the banquet. They were also very supportive of me developing in my hometown.”

“Oh, I see. It seems you’re planning to do something big when you come back.”

Guo Mengyao said modestly, “What big thing? It’s just returning to my roots. I’ve been living in Guangcheng for a few years before. In the end, I found that I was still a stranger. In addition, I’ve already separated from my husband, so I just wanted to come back.”

“Then what about your factory over there? Are you selling it?” Chen Feng asked casually.

“Many of my company’s products were previously outsourced to other companies. It was very convenient, but the quality was not very well controlled. This time I came here to acquire this factory, and I also plan to produce it myself, so that the quality and cost can be better controlled.”

“How much does it cost to acquire such a factory?” Chen Feng asked with some curiosity.

Guo Mengyao smiled and said, “Not much. We’re still in talks. The specifics haven’t been finalized yet.”

“Oh, I see. I wonder if you’re interested in accepting investment?”

“Investment? You or someone else?” Guo Mengyao’s eyes couldn’t help but light up as she stared at Chen Feng.

“If I invest ten million in your company, how much shares will I have?” Chen Feng asked directly.

Guo Mengyao’s beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. She said with a smile, “My company’s market value is at least two hundred million now. Ten million can only account for 5% of the shares at most.”

Chen Feng smiled and shook his head, “It seems my money is still too little.”

“Not at all. To be able to take out ten million for investment at once is already a real rich person. To be honest, I really didn’t see that you were so rich,” Guo Mengyao said with some emotion.

“But I can’t compare with you, a real rich woman. You said it was a small business before, but now the market value is at least two hundred million.”

“Haha, I said it was the market value. It includes some intangible assets. If you want me to take out cash, I definitely don’t have that much.”

“Then how much cash can you take out now?”

“You want to know?” Guo Mengyao squinted.

“Yes,” Chen Feng’s mouth curved into a smile as he stared at her without blinking.

Guo Mengyao was still a woman, after all. She finally took the initiative to look away, reached out to brush her bangs, and said with a smile, “If I mobilize some cash, I can probably take out fifty million. But I still owe the bank a loan of thirty million. This acquisition, I might have to borrow another twenty million from our bank here.”

Chen Feng said, “You’re awesome to be able to borrow so much money from the bank. Ordinary people really can’t borrow that much.”

Guo Mengyao shook her head, “That’s what they say, but the money owed to the bank has to be paid back eventually. If I can’t pay it back, I’ll go bankrupt immediately. So, doing business is really tiring and stressful.”

Chen Feng said with a smile, “But you also earn much more than others.”

“What about you? How much cash do you have now? Don’t tell me you only have ten million,” Guo Mengyao asked back with a smile.

Chen Feng smiled faintly and said, “I say I have about one hundred million now. Do you believe it?”

Guo Mengyao was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said in a firm tone, “I believe it.”

Seeing this, Chen Feng couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
