Chapter 189: It’s Just Good Luck

Guo Mengyao was really curious about who this omnipotent friend of Chen Feng’s was. If she could get to know them, it would definitely be a great benefit to her future business.

But how could Chen Feng have such a friend?

“If I said I don’t have such an omnipotent friend, would you believe me?” Chen Feng looked at Guo Mengyao with a sincere expression.

Guo Mengyao first looked disbelieving, then asked with confusion, “Are you serious? You don’t have such a powerful friend, so how did you do it?”

Chen Feng thought to himself, I just got lucky.

Out loud, Chen Feng could only continue the act, saying with a hint of mystery, “Actually, I did all of this by myself. Do you understand what I mean?”

“Ah, you… you mean, you have that kind of ability?”

Guo Mengyao looked shocked, and then her mind automatically filled in the blanks, imagining Chen Feng secretly working for some mysterious department or organization, holding great power or authority.

“You mean to say, you have another identity?”

Guo Mengyao looked at Chen Feng with a mixture of curiosity, nervousness, and admiration.

Chen Feng gave a mysterious smile and said, “It’s good that you know. I haven’t told anyone about this. It must be kept absolutely secret. Also, I can’t just use the power I have at will. I’ve bent the rules a bit by helping out twice this time. However, it was done covertly, so it should be fine. But you must remember to keep it a secret for me. You can’t tell a third person about my affairs.”

“Really? You’re not lying to me?”

Guo Mengyao wasn’t so easily fooled and looked at Chen Feng with suspicion.

“Forget it if you don’t believe me.”

Chen Feng put her down from his lap, went to sit in a chair by himself, and changed the subject, “Since things are settled, I’ll go back this afternoon.”

“Ah, you’re going back so soon? Can’t you stay for another two days? We can go back together in a couple of days.”

Chen Feng shook his head, “I still have some things to take care of back home that are waiting for me.”

“Then… then do you have a way to make my ex-husband agree to a divorce with me as soon as possible?”

Guo Mengyao asked, a little embarrassed. Chen Feng had indeed broken the rules to help her this time. But since it concerned her own marriage, besides the capable Chen Feng, she had no one more suitable to turn to for help.

“Didn’t you say he’s going to be sentenced to at least ten years this time? After he’s sentenced, you can apply to the court for a divorce. It shouldn’t be difficult. In his current situation, just be patient for a while.”

“But I can’t stand it anymore. I want to end my marriage with him as soon as possible. I’m afraid he won’t agree, and I’m also afraid he’ll continue to demand too much of my assets. So, I want to ask for your help. Just be a good person and see it through to the end. After this, I probably won’t have to trouble you again.”

“He’s in the detention center now, how can I help?”

Chen Feng was speechless. This was never-ending. He had already given Guo Mengyao enough of a favor this time and really didn’t want to continue meddling in her and her husband’s marriage. Besides, on what grounds should he interfere? On the grounds of being the other man?

Forcing her husband to divorce her was clearly something a villain would do, and it was somewhat immoral.

Seeing that Chen Feng didn’t want to help, Guo Mengyao immediately transformed into a seductive snake, coiling around him. Her hands wrapped around his neck, her body as soft as noodles, leaning against him. Her breath was like orchids as she said in a delicate tone, “I know you have a way, just be a good person and see it through, okay?”

“Are you trying to use a honey trap on me?” Chen Feng reached out to support her lower back, looking at her with a half-smile.

“Yes. Are you falling for it?” Guo Mengyao tilted her chin, her beautiful eyes flashing, her gaze flowing with endless charm.

Even heroes find it hard to resist a beautiful woman, let alone a beautiful young madam like Guo Mengyao. Chen Feng gave a wry smile and said, “Alright. I’ll give it a try, find someone to help. You bring a lawyer to see him tomorrow and just have him sign the divorce agreement.”

He couldn’t refuse this matter. Besides, Chen Feng wanted to see if his “Emperor of Europe” attribute was still effective, so he readily agreed.

“You’re the best! I knew you would agree.”

Guo Mengyao happily rested her head on his chest.

“I’ve agreed, but it’s not guaranteed to work. If your husband doesn’t agree then, there’s nothing I can do. In the end, this is a matter between you and your husband, and it’s not good for outsiders to interfere.”

Guo Mengyao emphasized, “He and I stopped being husband and wife a long time ago.”

Chen Feng thought to himself, you’re not even divorced yet, how are you not husband and wife? Your ability for self-deception is truly something else.

“Anyway, I’ll find a way to make him agree. You first find a divorce lawyer, draft the divorce contract, and bring it for him to sign tomorrow. If he still doesn’t agree then, there’s nothing I can do.”

“He will definitely agree. I believe in you.”

Guo Mengyao seemed to have more confidence than Chen Feng himself.

Chen Feng didn’t want to continue this topic and changed the subject, “Have you signed the share transfer contract with Sister Li? Then I’ll sign the investment contract with you now too. Have you printed out the contract?”

Guo Mengyao smiled and said, “I prepared it long ago. Wait a moment.”

Guo Mengyao immediately went to a briefcase, took out a manila envelope, opened it, and took out the prepared investment contract, handing it to Chen Feng.

“Your efficiency is really quite high.”

Chen Feng took it and looked it over. It was only two pages, a standard contract, with no problems.

“Alright, after we sign two copies of the contract, I’ll take you to the bank this afternoon to transfer the money to you.”

“Okay, no problem.”

The two quickly signed the investment contract, finishing in less than two minutes. This made Guo Mengyao even more satisfied with Chen Feng.

This contract was worth twenty-five million, yet Chen Feng signed it as if it were twenty-five hundred yuan, which was undoubtedly a sign of his absolute trust in her.

With the injection of Chen Feng’s twenty-five million, the financial pressure on her to acquire Xue Jun’s and Sister Li’s shares was much smaller.

After washing up, Chen Feng went out with Guo Mengyao for lunch.

After lunch, the two wandered around a nearby shopping mall for a while. When the time was about right, they went to the bank. Chen Feng transferred twenty-five million directly to her account.

Chen Feng was very quick with the money, but Guo Mengyao had agreed on a one-month payment period with Sister Li. As long as it was paid off within a month, it was fine. With such a long time difference, Guo Mengyao could better mobilize funds to buy back Xue Jun’s shares without even needing a loan.

Therefore, Guo Mengyao was in a very good mood today.

Chen Feng had already booked a flight for the afternoon. After the transfer was complete, he took Guo Mengyao back to the hotel to pack his luggage, preparing to go to the airport.

Guo Mengyao was very reluctant to see him go, but she had no choice but to drive him to the airport herself, so she could spend more time with him.

At the airport, Guo Mengyao originally wanted to stay with Chen Feng until he boarded the plane, but she received a call from Xue Jun. He said he was a man of his word and was willing to sell his shares for thirty million, and at the same time, he hoped she could help get him out of the detention center sooner.

Guo Mengyao agreed with a smile. Then, of course, it was not appropriate for her to stay with Chen Feng any longer. She planned to strike while the iron was hot and go directly to the detention center with a lawyer to sign the share transfer contract with Xue Jun, to avoid any unexpected complications.

Chen Feng deeply agreed with this and said goodbye to her at the airport.

After Guo Mengyao left, Chen Feng took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Wu Mengting, telling her he was coming back in the afternoon.

Wu Mengting immediately replied, asking if she should pick him up. Chen Feng said there was no need, his car was still parked at the airport.

Then, Chen Feng chatted idly with Wu Mengting, and also contacted Lin Yujiao and Sun Xiaorui, juggling three women at once. Any other man would surely be exhausted.

But Chen Feng was now quite experienced. Besides, he wasn’t a simp who had to reply to every message instantly and be attentive to every detail. Even with Wu Mengting, Chen Feng often replied after a few minutes.

He even directly ignored some questions. The three women were used to it and didn’t think there was anything wrong with Chen Feng acting this way.

Just like that, chatting with the three women and also taking the time to browse the news, time passed quite quickly.

He looked at the time; there was just over half an hour until the plane took off.

Just then, a figure stood in front of him, followed by a pleasant scent of perfume.

Chen Feng looked up at the person before him: long hair draped over her shoulders, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a large mask covering her face, a black hoodie paired with jeans, white sneakers, and pulling a suitcase.

He couldn’t see her face completely, so he didn’t know what she looked like, but he had a feeling she wasn’t ugly.

“Is there anyone sitting next to you? Can I sit here?”

A slightly hoarse female voice.

Chen Feng looked around. What a coincidence, there was only one empty seat next to him. The rest seemed to be full.

“No one, feel free to sit.”

“Thank you.”

The woman was quite polite. Only after getting Chen Feng’s permission did she sit down next to him.

Chen Feng paid no more attention to her and continued to look down at his phone.

The woman next to him also took out her phone from her handbag and turned it on. A constant stream of dings could be heard, obviously she had many messages, or many people were contacting her.

After a brief moment of surprise, Chen Feng ignored her.

The two had no further interaction until they boarded the plane.

It wasn’t until Chen Feng found his seat on the plane and sat down that this woman also came looking for her seat, which happened to be right next to his.

Chen Feng had booked business class, with two seats per row. What a coincidence, he was sitting right next to this woman.

The woman was also surprised to see Chen Feng in the seat next to hers, but she didn’t say anything and sat down in the seat beside him.

Both were silent, looking down at their own phones. It wasn’t until after the plane took off that the woman suddenly took the initiative to speak to Chen Feng, “Can we switch seats? I prefer the window seat.”

“Sure.”

Chen Feng didn’t mind. He nodded, got up, and switched with her.

“Thank you.”

The woman thanked him again.

Chen Feng paid her no more mind and continued to read a novel on his phone.

The woman didn’t speak to him again either, also looking down at her phone.

An hour or so passed like this, then the woman suddenly spoke to Chen Feng again, “Sir, may I have your name?”

Perhaps the woman was too bored, or perhaps seeing that Chen Feng had ignored her for so long made her let down her guard, or for some other reason, she decided to take the initiative to get to know him.

Chen Feng looked at the woman with some confusion, thinking, if you want to get to know me, shouldn’t you introduce yourself first and take off your mask?

Seeing that Chen Feng didn’t answer her immediately but looked at her with a puzzled expression, the woman finally realized her impropriety. She quickly took off her mask and said, “Sorry, I forgot. My name is Lu Sijia.”

As she spoke, she generously extended a fair, delicate hand towards Chen Feng.

“Chen Feng,” Chen Feng said his name crisply, then reached out to shake her hand lightly before letting go.

The woman looked to be in her late twenties. Her appearance was decent, and her figure was hard to tell because of the loose hoodie, but it should be pretty good.

Of course, Chen Feng was not short of women now, so he wasn’t very interested in women he met on a trip. Plus, this woman wasn’t a stunning beauty, so naturally, he had no interest in her.

But the more he acted indifferent and showed no intention of chatting with her, the more interested the woman became in him.

Lu Sijia then took a business card from her handbag and handed it to Chen Feng, introducing herself, “I work in the entertainment and arts industry. This is my business card. May I ask what Mr. Chen does for a living?”

Chen Feng politely took the business card and looked at it: General Manager of Zǐjīnténg Culture Media, main business in cultural and entertainment brokerage services, and film and television production services.

It looked quite impressive.

“I’m a sole proprietor. I don’t have a business card, sorry.”

“It’s alright. However, Mr. Chen doesn’t look like a sole proprietor,” Lu Sijia said in a seemingly casual tone.

Chen Feng said casually, “I used to be an employee, then I fired my boss and became a sole proprietor.”

“Haha, Mr. Chen is really humorous. Being a sole proprietor is also very good, free and easy.”

Chen Feng’s eyes were a little tired from looking at his phone for so long, so he put it down, leaned back in his seat, and said with a relaxed smile, “It’s free enough. Ever since I became a sole proprietor, I don’t want to go back to being an employee. Of course, it can’t compare to you bosses.”

“Being a boss is tiring. Look at me, I’m often on business trips, flying all over the country, very busy.”

“You have to be busy to make money.”

“Haha, that’s true.”

“By the way, your company does film and television production. Do you have any representative works?” Chen Feng asked with some curiosity.

“Have you seen ‘Immortal Fate Dream’?” Lu Sijia asked with a hint of pride.

Chen Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard the name. He said in surprise, “‘Immortal Fate Dream’ was produced by your company?”

Thinking of Zhang Jingwen, the female lead of “Immortal Fate Dream,” Chen Feng suddenly felt that the world was really small. If “Immortal Fate Dream” was produced by this woman’s company, it went without saying that she must know Zhang Jingwen.

Lu Sijia smiled with a bit of reserve and said, “It was co-produced by our company. There were three companies involved in the production of this TV series, and our Zǐjīnténg was one of them. Also, the script for ‘Immortal Fate Dream’ was also from our company.”

Chen Feng nodded along with her words, “That’s impressive.”

Lu Sijia said modestly, “Our company’s only notable work at the moment is ‘Immortal Fate Dream’. After all, we’ve only been established for less than five years, so we still need to continue to work hard in the future.”

Chen Feng secretly pursed his lips, chuckled twice, but didn’t praise her any further.

In Chen Feng’s opinion, although “Immortal Fate Dream” had good ratings and became a hit TV series in recent months, now that several months had passed, its popularity had mostly faded. It could only be considered a popular drama, but not yet a classic.
