After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 899 - 481: Days Without Harassment

Liu Ying needed to return home for her pregnancy and childbirth, so she naturally stopped coming to work at the company. She specifically called Lu Sijia to resign.

Lu Sijia knew about her relationship with Chen Feng, so she could only state that she needed Chen Feng's approval as the boss.

Hence, Lu Sijia called Chen Feng to discuss the matter. After obtaining Chen Feng's consent, she, as the general manager, officially approved Liu Ying's resignation.

Liu Ying's sudden resignation surprised both Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui. During lunch that day, Wu Mengting asked Chen Feng about it.

Of course, Chen Feng couldn't speak the truth, so he just said Liu Ying was getting tired of going to work and didn't want to go anymore.

Both women didn't doubt Chen Feng's explanation much. After all, Liu Ying had been showing up to work irregularly, so the reason seemed plausible.

In fact, without Liu Ying, the finance manager, Wu Mengting, the finance director, felt quite happy.

The reason was simple: firstly, Liu Ying's financial work skills were not really professional, and her title as a manager was largely nominal. Many specific financial tasks were completed by the deputy manager.

Secondly, Liu Ying was Chen Feng's lover and didn't get along well with her, which naturally made Wu Mengting feel uncomfortable. Moreover, Liu Ying was not very focused on her job and often took leaves of absence.

Now that Liu Ying resigned, that deputy finance manager, Huang Xiuqin, could finally get promoted to an official finance manager.

And Huang Xiuqin was someone whom Wu Mengting had personally recruited and promoted in the company, being her trusted subordinate. This undoubtedly allowed her to truly control the company's finance department.

Previously, with Liu Ying in between, with whom she didn't get along well, it made Wu Mengting feel a bit hindered as the finance director.

Once assured of Liu Ying's resignation, Wu Mengting naturally suggested promoting Huang Xiuqin. Chen Feng hesitated a little but agreed. As for Lu Sijia, there had been a mutual agreement when she was brought into the company that she wouldn't directly intervene in the company's financial and personnel authority.

As long as Chen Feng agreed, Wu Mengting could notify Lu Sijia, allowing Huang Xiuqin to be promoted immediately.

Even though Chen Feng wasn't very involved in the company's affairs, he was very clear about the company's operations and specific power structures.

Now with Liu Ying, the finance manager, resigning, Fengmang Film and Television Company truly experienced a real tripartite balance internally. Specifically, General Manager Lu Sijia controlled the overall project operations and management, Wu Mengting, as the finance director, controlled the finances, and Deputy General Manager Sun Xiaorui managed human resources.

To some extent, the company's power structure reached a kind of balance.

Of course, actually speaking, it was more like Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui on one side, and Lu Sijia on the other, with both sides reaching equilibrium.

And between Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui, it was undoubtedly Wu Mengting taking the lead, as even in some personnel arrangements, Sun Xiaorui listened to Wu Mengting.

To this, Chen Feng saw no issue and didn't think that Wu Mengting was overly assertive. After all, Lu Sijia, the general manager, was even more assertive and formidable in her ways. If Wu Mengting didn't team up with Sun Xiaorui, she really couldn't compete.

With Liu Ying resigning and temporarily returning to her parents' home, Chen Feng temporarily found himself with some free time, not going over to her place, and continued to remain quietly at home. The disruptive messages from several women also decreased significantly.

Especially from Guo Mengyao. Previously, she would at least message or call him every other day, but she hadn't contacted him these past few days.

To Chen Feng, this was undoubtedly a good sign, though he felt a bit reluctant about her, her and her family's pressure for marriage had been the second most intense. If he could break free this time, it would be for the best.

The most intense pressure for marriage came from Wu Mengting, who was his mother's chosen daughter-in-law, and Chen Feng didn't have much aversion to the idea of marrying her in the future, which was an entirely different matter.

And the reason Guo Mengyao hadn't contacted him this time undoubtedly was because he had "messed up" the matter she and her mother had requested through him.

This was exactly Chen Feng's intention.

Her not contacting him anymore and the relationship between the two ending like this was the best outcome. Chen Feng even planned that during his next visit back home, he'd formally withdraw his shares from her company to avoid future entanglements.

With Guo Mengyao not bothering him anymore, Liu Ying had gotten back on track and established normal communication with Chen Feng, returning to the state they were in before their cold war, with Liu Ying messaging Chen Feng almost daily.

Initially, she would send several messages a day, in the morning, afternoon, and evening, evidently a bit more enthusiastic towards Chen Feng than before. But Chen Feng did not pamper her just because she was pregnant. He continued to ignore some boring messages. Even when he did reply, it would often take ten minutes or even one or two hours.

With such behavior, Liu Ying naturally got the hint and later didn't send random messages unless there was something important. Of course, the daily routine contact was still maintained. Sometimes, when Chen Feng had free time, he would even make calls or video calls to her, chatting for a few or even a dozen minutes.

Another woman also started to message him on a near-daily basis, and that was Tian Xiaoman.

She insisted on messaging him every day, sometimes sending photos from her daily life, sometimes jokes or funny videos.

No matter if Chen Feng responded or not, she continued to send them.

Chen Feng responded according to his mood, sometimes replying, sometimes not. Tian Xiaoman didn't complain about Chen Feng possibly ignoring or neglecting her, which greatly satisfied Chen Feng.

To be frank, he never really had a substantial relationship with her. Back at the hotel, it was just about him giving her a massage and some oil rub, in a simple, non-romantic way.

That situation, had Chen Feng not worried about potential troubles afterward and slightly enforced, she certainly would have agreed, but Chen Feng decided not to do so then.

In retrospect, Chen Feng found himself somewhat admirable.

Indeed, many straightforward men make mistakes out of impulsiveness in certain situations.

It's hard to control those urges—especially when the other party is a beautiful woman who also shows interest—it's even harder to resist.

Under normal circumstances, most men would find it almost impossible not to make mistakes in such a situation.

Unless at that time, a man had physical issues or, like Chen Feng, possessed strong willpower and developed a certain immunity to beauty and attractiveness.

Otherwise, if you let a normal man suppress his urges for a few months, he wouldn't be able to hold himself back in such a scenario.

Yet Chen Feng managed to hold back not just because of strong willpower, but also because he wasn't lacking in women at that moment, having spent the previous day at a hotel with Guo Mengyao; furthermore, his standing had elevated, having been involved with exceptionally beautiful and outstanding women. In comparison, Tian Xiaoman couldn't even match up.

However, though Chen Feng resisted not having an actual relationship with her, their current relationship could be considered intimate, as they did share very intimate moments back then.
