Chapter 264: What Is This Called
The two of them hadn't spoken on the phone for a few days, mainly because Guo Mengyao was too busy on her end, and they would occasionally contact each other on WeChat. Compared to WeChat, people rarely make phone calls these days.
"Is there something you need?"
Chen Feng answered the call, getting straight to the point.
Guo Mengyao initially felt a burst of warmth in her heart, but Chen Feng's calm question extinguished most of it, and she replied with a bit of irritation, "Can't I call you if I have nothing to do?"
"Would you call me if you didn't have something?" Chen Feng countered.
Guo Mengyao was somewhat resigned to Chen Feng's straightforward personality, sighed, and said, "Alright, you win. I'm calling because I'm taking my daughter to Xiu Zhou for a few days tomorrow, and I plan to stay at your place. Do you welcome us?"
Chen Feng was momentarily stunned before he reacted and couldn't help but ask, "How come you suddenly have free time? Is the company not busy anymore?"
Guo Mengyao casually replied, "Everything is on track now, and I've hired a professional manager at a high salary to be the vice president. I've observed him for over two months, and he's trustworthy. Plus, my assistant is staying at the company. The remaining tasks don't require me as the boss to personally handle, so I'm planning to give myself a few days off and spend some time with my daughter, taking her to Xiu Zhou to relax."
As a shareholder of Mengyao Cosmetics, Chen Feng had some understanding of the company's current operations through Wu Mengting, her assistant. Simply put, the company was on a good growth trajectory.
Hearing this, he naturally didn't ask more and directly responded, "Alright, come over tomorrow. I have a villa by East Lake, with a small courtyard, less than a hundred meters from East Lake. You can see East Lake from the second-floor balcony. You and your daughter can stay as long as you like."
It was quite a coincidence. He had just gotten the Lakefront Villa tidied up, and Guo Mengyao was planning to bring her daughter over.
"Wow, a Lakefront Villa. You're really loaded! My dream was to buy a villa by East Lake in Xiu Zhou, but I haven't accomplished it yet. You've actually helped me fulfill it."
Chen Feng smirked and said, "Yeah, right. Aren't you richer than me now? If you really wanted to buy, it wouldn't be difficult for you."
"Sigh, I've invested all my money into the company and owe a lot outside that's not paid off. Where do I have the money to buy a villa?"
That was true. She did have money, but it wasn't liquid cash, which she couldn't compare to Chen Feng in that regard.
"Judging by the company's current performance, it seems to be quite good. After this year, you should be able to pay off most of your debts. Next year you can think about buying a villa in Xiu Zhou."
"Haha, thanks for your blessing. I hope so too. But I really don't plan to buy a villa in Xiu Zhou for now. After all, I don't live there, and it's no longer the golden age for investing in real estate, it's not worthwhile. Besides, don't you have one ready? If I want to stay at a Lakefront Villa in Xiu Zhou, I can just go to your place, right?"
That's true.
"Sure, if you want to stay, just come and stay as long as you like," Chen Feng generously said.
Hearing his words, Guo Mengyao was very pleased, her heart warming, wishing she could fly to Chen Feng's side immediately.
In truth, they had been apart for a few months already. Chen Feng was indifferent, not lacking female companionship, but she had been alone.
With the company back on track and work lightened, she wanted to relax and take her daughter to Xiu Zhou, though she wouldn't admit the main reason was to see her lover.
"Okay, you said it. If I want to... come over in the future, I'll stay a few days," Guo Mengyao said softly, her breathing slightly panting.
Listening to her voice, Chen Feng felt a bit ticklish inside, remembering Guo Mengyao's beautiful figure, his heart couldn't help but feel warm.
Chen Feng cleared his throat and quickly asked, "What time is your flight tomorrow?"
Guo Mengyao immediately said, "Just booked it, a flight at 10:15 AM, arriving in about an hour. Remember to pick me up then."
"Alright, I'll be at the airport before 10:30."
"Okay... see you tomorrow then."
"Okay."
Reluctantly hanging up, Chen Feng felt his mood improve significantly.
As old classmates and lovers, Guo Mengyao undoubtedly matched him the most, with equivalent status and wealth. They were together simply because of mutual affection and attraction, without other extraneous factors.
Sitting and scrolling through his phone for a while, the two cleaning ladies finally finished tidying up the house. After checking, Chen Feng was satisfied and gave each of them a hundred yuan red envelope as extra.
Considering that Guo Mengyao and her daughter were coming to stay tomorrow, Chen Feng also went out to the nearby supermarket to buy some daily necessities, including brand-new bedding, and some fruits and snacks.
After bustling about for a while and noticing it was already past one in the afternoon, Chen Feng remembered he hadn't had lunch.
Too lazy to go out, he simply ordered delivery.
After the delivery arrived and he made do with lunch, Chen Feng relaxedly sat in the recliner on the small balcony on the second floor, gazing at the scenery by East Lake, seeing the bustling tourists, the shimmering waves, and the sunshine in the air.
A gentle breeze blew by, and the warm sun shone, as if all previous worries had dispersed.
Just when Chen Feng slightly closed his eyes to clear his mind, the phone suddenly rang, making him frown a bit.
