After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Hong Xiaodan's situation made Chen Feng quite troubled, so much so that when he went to the training room for meditation in the afternoon, he couldn't calm his mind. He had to stop and turn to the balcony, lying on a leisure chair and swiping short videos to kill time.

Around four in the afternoon, he received a WeChat message from Yang Wenqi, informing him of the time and place for her dinner invitation that evening.

At six in the evening, the location was at a seafood restaurant, not too far from where he was, but Chen Feng really wasn't in the mood to go out on a date with her then.

So, Chen Feng directly sent a voice message asking: [I have something to do tonight, can we reschedule for another day?]

Yang Wenqi replied instantly with a voice message: [Ah, is that so? How long will it take to finish your business? I can wait for you. Is eight o'clock okay? If not, later is fine too, even ten o'clock.]

This was... Chen Feng found it hard to refuse again.

[It's okay, eight o'clock is fine.]

[That's great, eight o'clock then, see you there, I'll be waiting for you.]

Yang Wenqi's voice was pleasant, though he wasn't sure how well she sang. If her singing skills were good, she might consider releasing a single in the future to test the waters.

Chen Feng naturally settled into his boss role, and didn't overthink Yang Wenqi's proactive invitation. As his current artist, it was only natural for her to be grateful for his help and want to curry favor with him as her boss.

In the evening, Sun and Wu came home from work, and the three ate together, mostly leftovers from lunch, with two dishes freshly cooked by them.

During dinner, Chen Feng casually mentioned, "This afternoon, Hong Xiaodan came over, and I directly told her again, rejecting her affection. Then, she got really angry. I'm afraid she might do something irrational. So from now on, you two should try not to contact her or stay away from her."

Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui exchanged glances briefly before Wu Mengting spoke first, "She occasionally reaches out to me, but I don't usually interact with her much. I'll keep that in mind from now on."

Upon hearing the news, Sun Xiaorui was somewhat happy inside. After all, it seemed like she had one less competitor, so she echoed, "I usually don't contact her, our relationship is quite average. I'll just block her later."

Chen Feng frowned slightly, stopping her, "There's no need to block her. You don't have any grudges with her. I'm just saying this to be safe. Just ignore her as much as possible in the future."

The two women nodded in agreement.

After dinner, Sun Xiaorui volunteered to do the dishes.

Chen Feng and Wu Mengting sat on the living room sofa watching TV, and Wu Mengting started talking about some things in the company.

Primarily the promotional issues for "Mountain Order" and the project establishment for "Please give me more advice in the rest of my life."

Chen Feng was aware of both matters, but he hadn't delved into the specifics of how to execute them. He somewhat trusted Lu Sijia's work capability in this area.

After Wu Mengting rambled on for a while, noticing Chen Feng seemed absent-minded, she stopped, somewhat indignantly asking, "Are you really this comfortable leaving the company's matters entirely to Sister Lu?"

Chen Feng glanced at her, smiling, "Don't you and Little Rui handle finances and HR? What else is there for me to worry about?"

Wu Mengting sighed, "That's true, but Sister Lu is a very strong-headed general manager, and she decides on many things without us having any say."

Chen Feng asked, "Has she meddled in financial or human resources matters?"

Wu Mengting shook her head, "No, but for instance, whether it's the promotional strategy and execution plan for 'Mountain Order' or the project establishment for 'Please give me more advice in the rest of my life,' she didn't discuss with us; she decided on her own. Now, they've even chosen the director, just a few supporting roles are yet to be finalized."

Chen Feng chuckled, "She is the company's general manager after all. The planning department, promotion department, film production department, even the artist department, are all directly under her. She naturally has the right to make these decisions. Besides, do you and Little Rui understand film production or promotion?"

Wu Mengting replied somewhat unwillingly, "We may not understand them well, but as your assistants and secretaries, your trusted confidants as the boss, she should at least seek our opinion on the surface when making these decisions. Not doing so is somewhat disrespectful, not just to us but also somewhat to you."

Seeing her like this, Chen Feng understood she was somewhat oppressed at the company by Lu Sijia, causing her mood to be upset.

He could understand her feelings, but objectively speaking, Lu Sijia is at least a general manager, while she is only a finance director, and Sun Xiaorui is just an assistant manager. Why would Lu Sijia consult her two subordinates when making company decisions? Especially when he hadn't granted them that kind of authority.

"Alright. As I said earlier, she is the general manager. Carrying out her job and making decisions within her authority doesn't require consulting you two subordinates except reporting to me as the boss. Otherwise, wouldn't she become a figurehead, and how could she carry out her work at the company later?"

Of course, Wu Mengting understood this reasoning, but she still felt Lu Sijia was somewhat disrespectful to her, so she could only pout slightly, going back to her question, "Do you really trust her that much?"

Chen Feng could only nod, "Of course I trust her. Otherwise, I wouldn't have invited her to be the general manager. She is a talented person, and through your interactions with her, you should see that by now. Besides, she isn't a bad person, and she's also our hometown folk. You really don't need to look at her with prejudice."

Wu Mengting replied feeling aggrieved, "It's not me prejudging her; it's her who has a prejudice against us. Both Little Rui and I can feel it. Sometimes, when we run into each other at the company, she doesn't even greet us properly, at most giving a serious nod, sometimes ignoring us completely. It makes us feel she is not very respectful, even somewhat impolite."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng realized the real issue and couldn't help but chuckle wryly. He glanced at Sun Xiaorui in the kitchen and then lowered his voice to say to Wu Mengting, "That's all my fault. I previously told her Little Rui is my kept mistress, and that you're my dry sister. She might think you're also romantically involved with me, like Little Rui. So she naturally harbors a bit of bias against you two."

Wu Mengting couldn't help glaring at him angrily, "Why did you even tell her such things? No wonder I've felt her attitude toward us changed these past few days. She used to occasionally come by my office for a chat, but not anymore lately."
