Chapter 296: Chapter 180 Guo Mengyao’s Trouble

Guo Mengyao just agreed to acquire this cosmetics factory two days ago, spending sixty million. She took forty million from the company, and another twenty million was a bank loan from Lin Nan, with the cosmetics factory as collateral. This loan wasn’t difficult to arrange.

Moreover, Guo Mengyao is originally from Lin Nan, and her parents have quite a good network here, so handling loans and various procedures is rather convenient.

Her cosmetics company moving from Guang City is also quite simple. The company has just over fifty employees in total, most of whom are online store staff.

Those willing to move to Lin Nan will receive a proper salary raise. Those unwilling to move, there’s plenty of recruitment available. Of course, Guo Mengyao made every effort to bring along some of her original trusted aides and also increased their salaries and benefits.

With these trusted aides, the company quickly established a framework in Lin Nan, and she could comfortably assign some minor tasks to these trusted subordinates, while personally overseeing the newly acquired cosmetics factory, gradually familiarizing and sorting out the production processes, human resources administration, financial accounts, business transaction records, etc.

The most important aspect is personnel. With a new boss, those who came through nepotism and lack ability need to be weeded out.

Therefore, she’s actually quite busy these days.

Even while so busy, she was still thinking about Chen Feng, wanting to meet him, indicating that she indeed has some fondness for Chen Feng.

Chen Feng drove to the cosmetics factory, located three kilometers outside the county town, occupying quite a large area.

Parking at the factory gate, he called Guo Mengyao. Soon, a plump aunty wearing glasses came out to meet him. This plump aunty is Guo Mengyao’s assistant and secretary, surnamed Li, an absolute trusted aide who has been with her for years.

Arriving at the factory manager’s office, a large office, Guo Mengyao was buried in paperwork, with her desk piled high with various documents, along with a laptop.

Guo Mengyao was busy alternating between looking at the computer and checking the documents in her hand, appearing very busy.

Secretary Li brought Chen Feng in and spoke to her, after which she reacted and looked up, giving a gentle smile to Chen Feng, saying: "Sit wherever you like. I’ll talk to you after I finish the work at hand."

Chen Feng had no objections, nodded, saying: "You focus on your work first. I don’t mind."

After speaking, he took out his phone and sat on the sofa, starting to browse his phone.

After Secretary Li poured him a cup of tea, she went out. Although she was curious about Chen Feng’s relationship with her boss, seeing that the boss hadn’t said anything, she naturally didn’t ask more.

Chen Feng, while browsing on his phone, replied to several other women’s WeChat messages.

Sun Xiaorui sent him photos every day, sometimes Chen Feng replies a few words, other times he’s too lazy. This doesn’t mean Chen Feng doesn’t care about past feelings, but rather as a patron, he should show the right attitude and restraint; he’s not a lapdog.

However, Chen Feng did take time to video chat with her a few times, and even greeted her parents and brother during the video, meeting her family as her boyfriend. Thus, he’s given her enough face.

Sun Xiaorui’s message this time still asked when he would return to Xiu Zhou, and Chen Feng answered as usual, saying after the fifteenth.

Sun Xiaorui instantly replied with a sad emoji, then said she was bored at home and asked if she could go to his place for a few days, and greet his parents.

This wasn’t the first time she had said this.

Chen Feng simply replied with two words: "Can’t."

Lin Yujiao asked if he was free to accompany her to Longhua Street in the city tomorrow. Chen Feng thought for a moment and replied saying he had time, and would pick her up in the morning.

Lin Yujiao also instantly replied with a happy emoji, then texted: [Thanks, hubby]

This was the first time Lin Yujiao called him hubby on WeChat; before this, it was only demanded in bed by Chen Feng, usually calling him Brother Feng.

This is undoubtedly an expression of active closeness and intimacy, but Chen Feng doesn’t quite like it.

Whether on WeChat or in daily life, Chen Feng doesn’t want her to call him hubby; the term is rather sensitive.

So, Chen Feng typed: [I still prefer you calling me Brother Feng, not hubby]

After ten seconds or so, a sensible Lin Yujiao replied: [Got it, Brother Feng]

Chen Feng was satisfied and proceeded to look at Wu Mengting’s message, which was sent over ten minutes ago, stating she would come over to his place tomorrow to greet his parents.

Chen Feng sent an "OK" and then politely inquired about her aunt’s situation.

Wu Mengting said her uncle seems doomed this time, as evidence has been found; during their home raid, they seized over two million in cash, fifty to sixty thousand’s worth of gold bars, and luxurious goods worth millions. Additionally, her aunt has two valuable properties worth millions in the city.

Based on their normal and legitimate income, it’s impossible to have such wealth.

Thus, her aunt was also brought in for investigation, only released today.

Chen Feng sighed upon hearing this news. He had met her aunt and uncle once before and had a good impression of the couple.

However, for a public employee to meet such an end, it’s deserved. As the saying goes: Hands mustn’t stretch; stretching hands will be caught.

Wu Mengting also mentioned Hong Yongming, saying her uncle was arrested the day Hong Yongming disappeared. They reported it, but before results came, they were caught.

Nonetheless, Hong Yongming’s whereabouts were finally discovered the next day. He had been kidnapped and confined in a dilapidated house slated for demolition; found severely dehydrated, unconscious, his body with multiple soft tissue bruises, and his legs stabbed twice, unable to walk.

After rescue, though he regained consciousness, his mental state was poor.

According to his account, he was kidnapped the night Chen Feng met Wu Mengting in the city. The kidnapper wore a mask, and he couldn’t see their face, but the kidnapper claimed to be a wanted murderer, threatening him to hand over his bank card and passwords, along with mobile phone payment passwords, etc.

During his disappearance over those two days, the kidnapper illegally cashed out tens of thousands via mobile payment, then gradually withdrew tens of thousands from ATMs, taking over one hundred thousand in total from his bank card.

The only fortunate thing was that most of his funds were saved in an Italian company account, inaccessible domestically.

But even so, losing over a hundred thousand, nearly losing his life, is truly tragic for him.

As for the kidnapper, they were caught by police yesterday and weren’t the self-proclaimed wanted criminal, but a young man heavily in debt with online loans, owing tens of thousands, a credit defaulter.

This guy was a bizarre case; the first thing he did after snatching over one hundred thousand from Hong Yongming was to repay debts, returning both principal and interest to relatives and friends, settling debts with more than ten online lenders completely.
