After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 875 - 469: Just Barely Financially Independent

Chen Feng laughed and said, "It doesn't matter what her identity is, as long as my identity is enough. When she accompanies me, others will respect her on my account, and they won't look down on her or ignore her."

"Exactly." Zhai Xinxin quickly nodded in agreement, "As long as brother-in-law's identity is sufficient, those celebrities will consider your status, and I will definitely be able to ask them for autographs and photos. Brother-in-law, it's settled then, you will take me to attend."

"Le Hua, do you have any objections?" Chen Feng turned to Geng Lehua and asked.

"What objections could he have? Right?" Zhai Xinxin nudged Geng Lehua's foot under the table.

Geng Lehua could only smile wryly and say, "Yes, I have no objections."

"Alright then. I will inform you when the salon is scheduled."

Zhai Xinxin happily asked, "How many days are left? I also want to prepare in advance, like getting the right clothes, jewelry, and so on."

Chen Feng replied, "Around five or six days, I think. I didn't look carefully when I received the invitation since I wasn't planning to go originally."

"That's good, still in time. Brother-in-law, do you know which celebrities will be attending?"

"I'm not very sure about that. However, the invitation stated that local and international celebrities would be invited, so it should be accurate. The salon is initiated by 'Fashion Magazine,' which is one of the top fashion magazines in the country and is also well-known internationally."

"Then many celebrities will definitely attend, I'm quite looking forward to it."

Hearing that it was initiated by 'Fashion Magazine,' Zhai Xinxin couldn't help but feel a sense of respect. She knew about this magazine since she always longed for the noble life of the upper circle. She has done some research on these high-standard fashion magazines, luxury goods, and cosmetics.

Seeing Zhai Xinxin's eager expression, Chen Feng couldn't help but smile. He hadn't lied entirely; there was indeed a celebrity fashion salon gathering initiated by 'Fashion Magazine,' and it indeed took place in Xiu Zhou.

However, the salon was held more than half a month ago. At that time, Chen Feng, as the boss of Fengmang Film and Television Company, did receive an invitation, but he didn't go. Instead, he let Lu Sijia attend.

So, in reality, Chen Feng had lied to this Tea Girl.

Towards this Tea Girl, who clearly had intentions of marriage fraud and financial deceit, Chen Feng, of course, felt no fondness. If she could deceive others, Chen Feng, likewise, could deceive her.

Chen Feng didn't feel any mental burden about that.

At this point, the ordered dishes were served one after another, and as the host, Chen Feng warmly invited them to start eating.

The dishes were the specialty here, and the taste was undeniably good. Zhai Xinxin repeatedly praised them, while the honest-looking Geng Lehua also echoed a few compliments, never stopping his chopsticks.

Originally, Chen Feng wanted to invite Geng Lehua to drink, but since he refused and Chen Feng had to drive, they didn't order any alcohol and opted for a pot of health-preserving tea instead.

Zhai Xinxin was very talkative and pleasant to listen to. Even while eating, she wouldn't miss a chance to flatter Chen Feng. Later, she showed great interest in Chen Feng's film company and expressed her desire to see it.

Chen Feng didn't decline and readily said that if she wanted to visit, he could take her there the next day.

Zhai Xinxin happily thanked Chen Feng and didn't forget to blink her big eyes at him flirtatiously.

On the surface, the three of them enjoyed a very pleasant meal. Even the not-so-talkative Geng Lehua ate quite a lot and seemed quite content with the food.

Out of the nine dishes ordered, they ate most of them. Zhai Xinxin took the initiative to pour each of them a cup of health-preserving tea.

Afterward, the three of them continued chatting leisurely, with Zhai Xinxin primarily inquiring about Chen Feng's company, his entrepreneurial journey, and his current lifestyle in Xiu Zhou.

When Chen Feng mentioned that he owned three villas in Xiu Zhou, two in Red Villa Bay and one by East Lake Lakefront, plus a storefront, Zhai Xinxin seemed visibly impressed.

Not counting the store, the value of just the three houses was at least fifty million, not to mention Chen Feng also owned Fengmang, a profitable film and television company.

Undoubtedly, Chen Feng's personal wealth was in the hundreds of millions.

"Brother-in-law, by what you've said, you must be worth at least two or three hundred million now?" Zhai Xinxin asked with a seemingly casual and relaxed tone, smiling.

"I haven't really calculated my net worth, but it should be more than two or three hundred million. It might be around five or six hundred million." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Zhai Xinxin was momentarily speechless. Despite the seemingly prosperous domestic economy, people with billions in assets weren't too common.

However, in the reality of the general public's life, most have no interaction with billionaires, let alone sitting and chatting with one.

"Brother-in-law, you're definitely a big tycoon!" Zhai Xinxin exclaimed in admiration.

Chen Feng shook his head, casually saying, "My current wealth is just a small-scale investment. It's not enough to be considered in Xiu Zhou. I'm not a great tycoon; at most, I'm just barely financially free."

"Brother-in-law, you're too modest. With a net worth of five or six hundred million, that's only just making ends meet? Lehua and I earn only tens of thousands a year and don't even own a house. That would mean we're in extreme poverty," said Zhai Xinxin, glaring at the silently tea-drinking Geng Lehua, who pretended not to see.

"This is really not about modesty. It's just that everyone has their own way of living. My five or six hundred million might seem a lot to you, but in the eyes of those truly wealthy people, it's really not that much."

"Brother-in-law, your personal wealth has already surpassed 99% of people in the country. It's just enviable. I wonder when I'll become so rich?" Zhai Xinxin's face was filled with envy and ambition.

Chen Feng smiled and encouraged, "That day will come. I believe in Lehua's abilities. If he starts his own company in the future, he might also earn a billion-dollar net worth."

"Rely on him?" Zhai Xinxin looked disdainfully at Geng Lehua, "If that day ever comes, I'll probably be in my seventies or eighties."

"Don't say that; Lehua is still young and will have plenty of opportunities."

"Sigh, I hope so. Brother-in-law, could you tell me about your success story so I can learn and gather some experience?" Zhai Xinxin looked at Chen Feng with admiration.

"Haha, what experience do I have? If there's any experience, it's the experience of good luck."

"Could you tell us about it?"

"Alright, I'll just say it casually. Actually, before last October, my total personal assets were only in the tens of millions, and both my career and love life were failures, hitting rock bottom. My work was not going well, and I also got divorced. But maybe even heaven couldn't bear to watch, because after my divorce, I rebounded, and luck started coming my way. I won big in the lottery and later made some money in the stock market. That's how I became wealthy."

"So, there's really no experience I could pass on to you. Should I suggest you buy lottery tickets and trade stocks?"
