After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Chapter 301: Chapter 182: Ruthless Man_2

Chen Feng pondered and said, "Buying back together definitely won’t work. Offloading 5% of the shares at a low price obviously won’t satisfy his appetite. He’s basically tearing things apart with you now, how could he give up easily and let you catch your breath?"

Guo Mengyao sighed gently and said, "Yes, I’m just afraid his appetite is too big. As things stand now, a peaceful end seems very difficult. Unless I yield enough benefits to him."

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "He’s not stupid. He knows that if you recover this time, you’ll definitely find ways to deal with him in the future."

Guo Mengyao gritted her teeth and said, "I can swear to him and promise that we’ll act like nothing happened this time, everyone will forgive and forget, and we’ll continue to make money together."

Chen Feng continued shaking his head, "He won’t believe you. If you were him, you wouldn’t believe him either. Now the foundation of trust between you is gone."

Guo Mengyao said in a relaxed tone, "Let’s try it first, what if it works? For now, I don’t want to end up with mutual ruin."

Chen Feng laughed and said, "I knew you wouldn’t be so generous. You are Guo Mengyao. If you can endure being schemed against like this, then it’s not like you."

"Do you know me that well?" Guo Mengyao teased.

"After all, we’ve been old classmates for three years. In high school, although you were always smiling and easy to get along with, if someone offended you, you were quite unforgiving."

"Am I really as petty as you say?"

Chen Feng chuckled twice in response.

Guo Mengyao didn’t argue with Chen Feng, she changed the subject and said, "Regarding my husband, sorry, my ex-husband, what do you think I should do?"

Chen Feng genuinely didn’t want to meddle in her family affairs, but considering their special relationship, he had to say something, so he asked, "What are your own thoughts?"

Guo Mengyao sighed and said, "It’s impossible not to give him some of the family assets. Even if the court is favorable to me, he’ll definitely walk away with some of it eventually. After all, most of the money I’ve really made was after marrying him, and over the past few years, while I’ve been fighting to make a living, the child has mostly been cared for by him and the nanny. It’s very unfavorable to me wanting custody of the child back. I must offer him enough benefits to gain custody."

"How much are you planning to give him?" Chen Feng asked accordingly.

Guo Mengyao said, "I’m giving him the villa we’ve been living in, I was planning to sell it anyway. But I can’t meet his demand for thirty million in cash. I can most offer him ten million, and I want to pay it off in two years. What do you think?"

Chen Feng thought to himself, why are you asking me if you’ve decided?

"Since you’ve decided, go ahead. I’m just afraid your... ex-husband might not be so easy to handle."

"So, I want you to help me persuade him."

Chen Feng was almost choked by her words, he looked at her sideways in surprise, "What are you thinking? How will I convince him?"

Guo Mengyao chuckled and said, "Just kidding. How could I let my affair persuade my ex-husband?"

Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief and glared, "That joke wasn’t funny at all."

Guo Mengyao pouted, not saying anything more. In fact, she truly hoped Chen Feng could step in and sort everything out for her.

This included dealing with the divorce agreement with her ex-husband and the share disputes with Xue Jun and Sister Li.

Unfortunately, this was just a beautiful fantasy. Although Chen Feng has some money now, he’s not someone with tremendous power.

The car arrived at a five-star hotel, and Guo Mengyao had already booked a room for him, so Chen Feng could simply check in.

By now, it was already past five in the afternoon, and the appointment with Xue Jun and Sister Li at seven o’clock was near.

So, after dinner together, they went to the agreed tea house.

When they arrived, it was around six-fifty, and both Xue Jun and Sister Li were already there, chatting over tea. This was not a good sign, indicating they had private dealings.

Chen Feng had met Xue Jun before, a man in his forties, wearing glasses, about 1.75 meters tall, somewhat thin, with a scholarly air. He was said to have been a teacher.

Sister Li was also around forty, with a wealthy appearance, adorned in gold and silver, dressed like a rich lady.

Xue Jun knew Chen Feng, but didn’t expect Guo Mengyao to bring him along in such a setting.

Meanwhile, Sister Li was very curious and gossipingly asked Chen Feng about some details, with a suggestive look, glancing back and forth between Chen Feng and Guo Mengyao, making it obvious to anyone that their relationship was very close.

"Sister Li, Xue Jun, we’ve been business partners for several years. We’ve worked quite happily together. There’s no need to make such a fuss."

Guo Mengyao opened directly and straightforwardly.

Sister Li quickly said, "Mengyao, you can’t say I’m unkind about this. I initially opposed you moving the company to your hometown, so I was right to withdraw my shares, wasn’t I? At most, I wanted to sell my shares at a high price, that’s all. Actually, I still have confidence in the company’s future, even though you’re repurchasing now with a slight premium, in the long run, you definitely won’t lose."

Xue Jun slightly furrowed his brow and said, "Mengyao, over the years, you’ve been resolute in the company, although you’ve developed it well, you’ve hit a bottleneck. This is also why you plan to move the company back to your hometown, isn’t it? Because you think staying in Guang City, further expanding the company is difficult.

I agree with you on this point, but you’re too stubborn. If the company power remains in your hands, its future development will still be limited. So, you’d be better off handing over the company’s power to me, under my leadership, the company will definitely develop better."

Guo Mengyao didn’t get angry, she calmly and smoothly sparred with Xue Jun for a few rounds. Later, she presented her two reconciliatory conditions, but as expected of Chen Feng, Xue Jun rejected them without hesitation.

Although Guo Mengyao somewhat expected this, confirming it now meant she couldn’t remain calm anymore. Looking at Sister Li, who was sitting steadily, she asked bluntly, "Sister Li, what benefits did Xue Jun promise you?"

Sister Li smiled sincerely at Guo Mengyao and said, "He said if you don’t buy my shares, after he gains control of the company, he’ll also buy my shares at a high price."

"Aren’t you afraid he’ll go back on his word?" Guo Mengyao asked irritably.

Sister Li confidently said, "If he goes back on his word, I’ll cooperate with you. Anyway, I won’t lose, right?"

This time Xue Jun also looked at her with a somewhat displeased expression.

No one here is a fool, everyone’s making calculations, each with their own plans.
