After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Chapter 298: Chapter 181: Conspiracy and Scheming

"I won’t have time to keep you company tonight, I need to make a trip to Guang City."

Guo Mengyao said in a somewhat downcast tone.

Chen Feng sat across from her, and he had listened clearly to her call with that Sister Li just now.

There’s no doubt about it, Guo Mengyao is being extorted!

"Do you really want to buy back the shares held by Sister Li?"

Chen Feng pondered before asking.

Guo Mengyao nodded, saying, "This is something I can’t avoid. If I don’t buy back her shares with cash, allowing the company to be completely taken over and bought by Xue Jun, then the control of the company will be snatched away from me. Moreover, if Sister Li’s buyback demands aren’t met, she has the right to go to court and dissolve our company."

Chen Feng then asked, "Do you currently have enough funds to meet Xue Jun’s demand to withdraw his shares? If not, would he actually go to court to apply for dissolving the company?"

Guo Mengyao frowned and contemplated, "That’s his plot. If I respond to his withdrawal demands, I won’t have much money left to buy Sister Li’s shares. And if I buy all of Sister Li’s shares, I won’t have enough funds to meet his withdrawal demands. In the end, he’s calculated that I currently don’t have spare money."

Chen Feng concernedly asked, "Do you have enough cash on hand to handle this situation?"

Guo Mengyao slightly smiled, a look of confidence on her face as she said, "I have over thirty million in cash right now, and I have three properties over in Guang City, two of which are villas, worth over twenty million combined. I can mortgage them to the bank for an easy twenty million. It’s more than enough to repurchase Sister Li’s shares. As for Xue Jun, he definitely won’t really want to withdraw his shares or dissolve the company, it’s only an excuse to distract me and then seize the company’s controlling interest."

Chen Feng frowned and said, "What if he really does want to withdraw his shares, what would you do?"

Guo Mengyao thought for a while, then said through gritted teeth, "If he really withdraws, then I’ll satisfy him. He thinks I don’t have money, but I can borrow from my parents and relatives and friends, two or three million shouldn’t be a problem. Additionally, I can use the company’s name to borrow another three to four million from the bank. That should be enough."

Chen Feng finally felt a bit relieved after hearing what she said, and with a smile, he said, "If you don’t have enough money, I can lend you some, or perhaps use this opportunity to invest."

Guo Mengyao listened and blinked her beautiful eyes at him, with her eyebrows slightly raised, she asked, "And how much exactly are you able to contribute?"

Chen Feng thought for a moment and said, "I originally intended to have a professional appraiser look into your company for evaluation before investing, but suddenly I’m very optimistic about you, and since we’re so familiar with each other, there’s no need for it to be so formal. So, I’m willing to contribute thirty million, how many shares can you offer for that?"

"Are you serious, not joking?" Guo Mengyao asked with a serious face.

Chen Feng also nodded with a serious expression.

After staring at Chen Feng for a while, Guo Mengyao slightly nodded and said, "If you can come up with that money within three days, I can decide to give you 12% of the shares."

Chen Feng smiled and shook his head, saying, "That’s too few shares. Your company isn’t worth three hundred million now, is it? I remember you said it was worth two hundred million last time."

Guo Mengyao gave him a disdainful look and said, "Just now you said there’s no need to be so formal, and now you’re haggling with me."

"But when it comes to business, aren’t you the same way? Furthermore, I’m looking to invest this on behalf of my family elders, hoping they can receive dividends each year as living expenses; I definitely need to fight for a bit more for them."

When Guo Mengyao heard this explanation, she slightly understood.

However, she still said with a bit of displeasure, "12% is quite a lot. Didn’t we just acquire that cosmetics factory? It cost a solid six million, building up our own production line and having ready sales channels. Everything is developing towards a good direction and will continue to grow in the future. You’re investing halfway through."

Chen Feng chuckled, "But aren’t you facing a crisis now? If you can’t get through this crisis, your company will be dissolved and liquidated."

Guo Mengyao couldn’t help but glare and said, "Are you trying to take advantage of the situation?"

"Of course not, considering our relationship, I could lend you two million in a personal capacity for turnover, without calculating interest for two months."

Chen Feng certainly didn’t want to anger her; he only said these things to make her understand that he wasn’t foolish and also to take the chance to do her a favor.

And, Guo Mengyao, being a very proud person, definitely wouldn’t borrow money from him unless absolutely necessary.

Sure enough, after hearing his offer, Guo Mengyao’s expression softened, and she slightly shook her head, saying, "I don’t want money matters mixed in between us. Thank you for your generosity. Let’s discuss your investment after I’ve dealt with this crisis. At that time, you can bring a professional asset appraiser to evaluate my company, and we can discuss the specific shares."

"Sure, I’ll wait for your good news." Chen Feng wasn’t impatient now, and he nodded in agreement.

The two didn’t discuss her company matters further, they ate for a bit hurriedly before Guo Mengyao got up to take her leave.

Chen Feng didn’t want to waste the array of dishes on the table, he sat alone eating for a while longer, and only after feeling more or less full did he pay the bill and leave the restaurant.

It must be said, this small Li Family Slope restaurant offers quite good dishes, not only with their local specialties but also classics from several other cuisines, leaving Chen Feng very satisfied. Its reputation is well-deserved.

After leaving Li Family Slope, seeing it was five-thirty, Chen Feng messaged Lin Yujiao on WeChat, asking her to meet at Yujing Hotel after work.

The living environment of Lin Yujiao’s rental house isn’t great, especially the bed which creaks and affects the mood for activities, definitely not as solid and comfortable as the bed at Yujing Hotel.

Not long after, Lin Yujiao sent him a shy emoji.

Chen Feng laughed then put away his phone, drove to Yujing Hotel, booked a room, and sent the room number to Lin Yujiao.

A dozen seconds later, Lin Yujiao replied: [I’ll be there in half an hour]

Compared to other women, Lin Yujiao is quite punctual, saying she’ll arrive in half an hour, and it was indeed nearly that time when she arrived.

This time she dressed with a mature charm, wearing an overcoat outside, a dress and stockings inside, revealing a segment of slim straight legs paired with high heels, very appealing.

Before entering the room, the overcoat wrapped her whole body, but once the coat was unbuttoned and taken off, she resembled a peeled lychee, tempting to take a bite.

A night of sweet dreams.

The next morning when Chen Feng was still sleeping soundly, a familiar ringtone woke him up—his phone call ringtone.

Chen Feng reached to the bedside table to pick up his phone, and saw it was a call from Guo Mengyao. Thinking she went to Guang City last night, his mind cleared up a bit.

"Is there something going on?"

Once the call was connected, Chen Feng asked with concern.

Guo Mengyao’s deep voice came through, "My husband wants a divorce and is demanding to split the assets, otherwise he’ll file for divorce in court and fight for custody of my daughter with me."

It truly is a case of misfortunes never coming singly, even Chen Feng felt heartache for her and immediately comforted, "It’s okay, if he wants a divorce, then divorce him. You never really loved him. As for the lawsuit, you definitely don’t need to fear him; you are the one earning money to support the family, your contribution to the household is definitely larger than his, the court will certainly favor you more."
