After my divorce, I started to have good luck

The two women couldn't help but mutter in unison upon hearing this: You say you're indifferent, but you're still targeting him?

Wu Mengting asked, "He probably won't accept your offer. So are you really not planning to buy his shares anymore?"

Chen Feng chuckled and said, "He will agree. You should call the other three shareholders and tell them that if they agree to help persuade Cao Kun to sell his 5% shares for 2 million, I can offer each of them an additional 1 million."

The two women were both taken aback for a moment. Chen Feng's move was indeed ruthless, and it seemed to be harming others without benefiting himself.

Wu Mengting was the first to come to her senses and asked, "With this strategy, the three of them will definitely agree. But Cao Kun surely won't, right?"

Chen Feng confidently replied, "He will agree."

Seeing the puzzled expressions on the two women's faces, Chen Feng didn't keep the suspense and explained, "Although Cao Kun was a general manager before, he was merely a senior employee and not a native of Xiu Zhou, nor did he have any impressive background. But the other three shareholders are different; that wealthy female is of the same group as Liu Meijun, belonging to the local gentry, and the other two have even deeper family backgrounds. Otherwise, where would they have gotten those shares? Thus, the three of them have the means to force Cao Kun to agree."

The two women finally understood upon hearing this.

"You are really insidious; why didn't I see it before?" Guo Mengyao remarked with a peculiar gaze at him.

Chen Feng rolled his eyes at her in irritation.

Wu Mengting didn't say much; she immediately took out her phone to contact the other three shareholders and conveyed Chen Feng's intent to them.

Without exception, all three readily agreed. Even if they might not lack money, gaining an extra million was ultimately a reason to be cheerful.

"Sigh! Human nature!" After hanging up, Wu Mengting shook her head with a face full of sentiment, looking deeply disappointed in humanity and human nature.

Seeing this, Chen Feng offered an explanation: "They agreed to help this time not completely because of the million I promised but also because Cao Kun is not a decent person. Earlier, while he was the general manager, he was treacherous and embezzled funds, directly causing the company's performance to decline continuously. For that, Liu Meijun had even sued him before, but unfortunately, this guy has some skills, and was ultimately only fined some money and did not go to jail."

After hearing Chen Feng's explanation, Wu Mengting felt somewhat relieved.

Guo Mengyao said, "Since this person is so bad and also has a grudge with you, I think we can set a trap for him."

This sudden suggestion left Chen Feng and Wu Mengting somewhat unresponsive.

"You two are still too kind," Guo Mengyao said to herself, "In the business and professional world, it's always survival of the fittest, and there's so much betrayal and plotting. Since this person bullied Chen Feng before, taking this opportunity to trap him is quite normal."

"Then tell me, how can we trap him?" Chen Feng asked with a smile.

"Simpler strategies might involve tampering with the share transfer agreement, like extending the payment cycle or opting for installment payments, but if the other party isn't foolish, this can easily be discovered. Nonetheless, we can try, and if he's not careful, we might succeed. Also, it'll require professionals to help, like those skilled in setups or in vices such as gambling and drugs. Isn't your good friend Qin Zhen a cop? He should be familiar with this and can assist you."

Guo Mengyao, with her somewhat whimsical personality, had these dubious ideas at her fingertips.

"Thanks for the advice," Chen Feng gave her an eye roll, letting her interpret it on her own.

Ultimately, Chen Feng was a relatively kind person. He felt that causing Cao Kun to lose three million was already a form of revenge and didn't plan on further retribution, as they weren't mortal enemies.

The development of things was as Chen Feng had expected; the three shareholders were already dissatisfied with Cao Kun due to the company's poor management and continuous losses under his leadership in the past two years. So, they quickly formed an alliance to pressure Cao Kun.

Just as Chen Feng had said, Cao Kun was merely a senior employee without any significant local background; now unemployed, divorced, and with his assets significantly devalued, he lacked leverage, while the other three shareholders had deep backgrounds. When they joined forces to pressure him, Cao Kun immediately faced tremendous stress.

One shareholder, with official background, directly told him, "We all know you've embezzled a lot from the company in the past few years. Earlier, Liu Meijun sued you, and you barely escaped. As a minor 7% shareholder, I didn't get involved because it wasn't worth it, but now the situation has changed. I want to sell my shares smoothly, and you're blocking my way, so you must pay the price. Believe me; I can reopen the investigation tomorrow and thoroughly examine you, potentially landing you in prison for a few years."

Facing pressure from such figures, Cao Kun certainly couldn't withstand it, as he was already compromised, and further investigation would surely expose his wrongdoings.

Thus, after only two phone calls, Cao Kun couldn't hold on during the third call and reluctantly agreed to sell his 5% shares for 2 million to Chen Feng.

In this way, except for Cao Kun, everyone else was quite pleased.

To avoid any complications, those three shareholders brought a crestfallen Cao Kun that afternoon and signed the share transfer agreement with Chen Feng, with Liu Meijun, as the chairman of Dianchuang Culture Company, also present to sign.

Chen Feng was straightforward; after signing the agreement, he immediately went to the bank to transfer payments to each of the four individuals, leaving the remaining shareholder changes and related procedures to the lawyer.

Thus, Chen Feng finally transformed from a mere employee at Dianchuang Culture Company to its second-largest shareholder, becoming the second boss.

Surprisingly, Liu Meijun seemed even more excited than Chen Feng himself and immediately offered to celebrate.

Chen Feng didn't decline, taking Wu Mengting along, and with Liu Meijun's approval, also invited Guo Mengyao and her daughter.

Liu Meijun invited them to a private restaurant, a preference of wealthy people. Chen Feng hadn't dined there before; it featured Lu Cuisine, which was quite delicious.

During the meal, they delved deeper, and Chen Feng learned that Liu Meijun's mother hailed from Lu Province, with her grandmother also being from there. She grew up in Lu Province with her grandmother, thus having a special fondness for Lu Cuisine.

Unfortunately, both her grandmother and mother had passed away. As emotions surfaced, Liu Meijun couldn't hold back tears.

Thankfully, Wu Mengting and Guo Mengyao were present, promptly comforting and changing the topic, soon restoring a cheerful atmosphere.

Everyone left satisfied after the meal, and when parting, Liu Meijun chatted amicably with Wu and Guo, displaying a closeness akin to best friends.
