After the divorce, the aloof CEO begged me not to withdraw my investment.

three days later.

Shengshi Entertainment's stock hit the daily limit again.

The atmosphere in Ye Feng's office was unusually calm.

"Zhang Chen, sell the last third of your position," Ye Feng said calmly.

"Mr. Ye, should we sell now? Or can we wait a little longer..." Zhang Chen hesitated.

With Shengshi Entertainment's stock price so soaring, he felt he could make another fortune.

Ye Feng interrupted him, "Securing the profits is the best policy."

Zhang Chen said no more and quickly executed the sell-off.

Ye Feng spent the entire day dealing with similar matters.

He sold almost all of his profitable stocks.

As night falls, the lights are on.

Inside the Zhenwei Pavilion, the atmosphere was lively and bustling with the clinking of glasses.

Ye Feng's entire finance team was present, celebrating their victory.

"Everyone, thanks to everyone's hard work, we have achieved such remarkable results." Ye Feng raised his glass, his gaze sweeping over everyone, his tone sincere, "I'd like to propose a toast to everyone!"

"Mr. Ye, you're too kind! This is all thanks to your strategic planning!"

Zhang Chen took the lead in responding, and the others echoed his sentiments.

"This time, the bonus is doubled!"

As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the audience.

Everyone toasted Ye Feng.

Ye Feng accepted all offers, drinking one cup after another.

weekend.

Ye Feng had a rare two-day rest, but suddenly felt a bit lonely.

He picked up his phone and dialed Liu Qingyi's number.

"Where are you?"

"I'm on a business trip in Country A. There's an important project to discuss. What's up?" Liu Qingyi asked, somewhat surprised.

"It's nothing, it's just... it's the weekend, so I was just asking if you're coming back."

"I'm afraid it won't work this time. The earliest you can go back is next week. Take good care of yourself and don't stay up late again."

"I see."

Ye Feng hung up the phone, feeling empty inside.

He walked up to the refrigerator, opened it, and found it completely empty.

The market was bustling with activity, and a dazzling array of fresh ingredients were on display.

Ye Feng wandered aimlessly, his gaze sweeping over the menacing crabs. After hesitating for a moment, he gave up.

He didn't know how to make these, so he ended up just buying some simple tofu and vegetables.

Back home, Ye Feng tied on an apron and began cooking.

He mechanically chopped and stir-fried vegetables, but the image of Liu Qingyi kept appearing in his mind.

They used to work together in the kitchen, chatting and laughing, in a warm and sweet atmosphere.

Today, everything has changed.

Ye Feng had prepared a simple two-dish meal and soup, but he had no appetite at all.

He picked up his phone and dialed Liu Zhengfei's number.

"Zhengfei, come over to my place for a couple of drinks."

"Okay, is your wife not home today?" Liu Zhengfei readily agreed.

A short while later, Liu Zhengfei arrived, carrying a thermos box.

"My wife just made cola chicken wings, I brought you some," he said with a smile, then pulled a bottle of Moutai from his bag. "How about that, pretty generous, right?"

"That's kind of you." Ye Feng forced a smile.

The two sat facing each other, poured themselves drinks, and began to chat idly.

"Come on, let's have a drink!" Liu Zhengfei raised his glass.

"Let's have one." Ye Feng clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Just then, Ye Feng's phone rang; it was Zhang Chen calling.

"Mr. Ye, there's a document that needs your signature. I'll take it to you."

"Okay, come over here." Ye Feng gave the address.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Feng said to Liu Zhengfei, "Zhang Chen will be over in a bit; there's a document he needs to sign."

"Let him eat something with us," Liu Zhengfei said.

Zhang Chen arrived quickly, carrying a folder.

After Ye Feng finished signing, he was about to let Liu Zhengfei go back when Liu Zhengfei grabbed him.

"Come on, come on, have some with us, don't be shy."

Zhang Chen felt a little embarrassed, but he couldn't refuse the hospitality, so he sat down.

Liu Zhengfei poured him a drink, and the three of them ate and chatted.

After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became more lively.

Liu Zhengfei told a joke that made Zhang Chen laugh out loud.

"President Ye, there seem to be some problems within the company lately." After laughing, Zhang Chen's expression turned serious. "I've heard that some people are using nepotism to engage in some improper transactions."

Liu Zhengfei chimed in, "I've also heard some rumors, and it seems quite serious."

Ye Feng listened quietly, his expression gradually darkening.

"I see."

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Su Hao felt uneasy as he looked at the message from his informant.

"Has he stopped researching the stock market lately?"

“Yes, Young Master Hao.” Su Dongming lowered his head. “According to the information I’ve received, it seems that they have already made a profit.”

Su Hao paced back and forth, his brows furrowed.

"That shouldn't be the case. Knowing him as I do, he couldn't possibly just back out like that."

"Are you worried about..." Su Dongming asked tentatively.

“I’m worried Ye Feng is up to some trick!” Su Hao stopped and voiced his suspicion. “He used to be known for his wisdom and decisiveness, how could he suddenly become so weak?”

"Then you mean..."

"Investigate! Thoroughly investigate everything Ye Feng has done recently, including his financial situation and interpersonal relationships. I need to know everything, down to the smallest detail!" Su Hao ordered.

He refused to believe that he couldn't grasp the other person's motives.

Su Dongming quickly replied, "Yes, I'll arrange it right away."

Even after Su Dongming left, Su Hao still had a furrowed brow.

Ye Feng's behavior was too unusual, forcing him to be on high alert.

After a long while, Su Dongming walked into the office again, his expression not very good.

“I’ve checked. Ye Feng has been living a very low-key life lately, with almost no unusual behavior. His finances are also very clean, with nothing to be found.”

Su Hao interrupted him impatiently: "So that's all you found? Not a single useful piece of information?"

Su Dongming hesitated for a moment, "However, I've noticed that Ye Feng has been in frequent contact with his ex-wife Liu Qingyi lately."

"Liu Qingyi?" Su Hao's eyes flashed with doubt. "Didn't they already get divorced?"

"Yes, but according to my investigation, Liu Qingyi seems to still have feelings for Ye Feng. Moreover, she still holds a considerable number of shares in Shengshi Entertainment."

Su Dongming's words made Su Hao's eyes light up.

He exclaimed excitedly, "I know! Ye Feng wants to regain control of Shengshi Entertainment through Liu Qingyi! He's playing the long game!"

"Then what should we do?" Su Dongming asked.

“Since Ye Feng wants to use Liu Qingyi, then we’ll use a counter-strategy! Go and arrange for someone to contact Liu Qingyi. Remember, be careful and don’t give yourself away.”

“But Liu Qingyi knows us too well…” Su Dongming said with some concern.

“I know,” Su Hao nodded. “So, don’t send our people directly. Find a few reliable intermediaries and have them approach Liu Qingyi to sound her out.”

"Understood, Young Master Hao, I'll make the arrangements right away." Su Dongming accepted the order and left.
