Chapter 628 Recalling the past and lamenting the present
Many times a man's suffering cannot be told to others, and he can only endure it silently by himself, just like Chen Feng did tonight.
He first meditated in the hotel for almost an hour. After feeling that he had regained some energy, he reluctantly drove to Guo Mengyao's cosmetics factory under the urging of Guo Mengyao through two more phone calls.
Her cosmetics factory covers a large area. In addition to the production workshop, assembly workshop and warehouse, there is also a 7-story administrative building with an elevator. Guo Mengyao's chairman's office is on the top seventh floor, covering an area of almost 200 square meters.
, accounting for almost one-third of the area of this floor.
Opposite her office is a multi-functional conference room with an area of 400 to 500 square meters. Next to the office is a reception room and product showroom, both of which are very luxuriously decorated.
Since the second round of equity financing, the soft packaging on this level has reached a new level. Chairman Guo Mengyao has even replaced his desk and boss chair with brand new ones, which appear larger and more upscale, and of course more expensive.
A desk is larger than a bed and is made of solid wood. It is normal to cost hundreds of thousands. It is impossible for a new boss chair to cost tens of thousands.
While Chen Feng was carefully looking at the furnishings in her office, Guo Mengyao, who was sitting behind the large desk, had already stood up and walked quickly towards him.
Then, before Chen Feng could say anything, she pounced on him like a hungry tiger pouncing on food, and then she just killed him on the sofa against the wall without even entering the rest room.
This feeling was not very good to Chen Feng. If he hadn't turned the tables in the end and let her know how powerful she was, he would have been even more angry.
He actually wanted to retaliate in kind, but he was unable to do so, so he was unable to do anything.
"What's going on with you today? You're not in a good state. Are you tired or for other reasons?"
After finishing, Guo Mengyao naturally pulled up her tight jeans in front of him while looking at him with some scrutiny and teasing words.
Of course, Chen Feng couldn't tell the truth, so he could only pretend to be squeezed dry and said: "Don't you know that I drove for more than six hours? Now on National Day, the highway is heavily congested. I drive and stop.
After sitting in the car for so long, I am upset, angry and very tired. I had planned to have a good sleep first when I arrived in Linnan, but you called me again."
Guo Mengyao smiled, but did not go into details, and said very naturally: "You can't blame me, do you know how long we have been separated? I think you are normal. Besides, what good is a man like you for this kind of thing?
Complaining? You don’t want me to find another man, do you?”
Her last words blocked all Chen Feng's complaints. Men are like this. Even if he is a scumbag and doesn't want to see you, he won't allow you, a woman, to find other men.
Chen Feng wanted to say with a broad mind: Just find another man.
But he obviously can't be so open-minded yet. At least at this stage, he doesn't want Guo Mengyao to find other men in his heart.
Seeing that Chen Feng didn't answer, Guo Mengyao raised her lips slightly proudly, quickly put on her clothes, and sat back on the boss chair behind the large desk with her straight long legs, raising her feet.
Turn your body back and forth on the chair, looking comfortable and relaxed.
This scene, this picture, if they had swapped genders, would be almost the same as those unspoken rules in the workplace.
Chen Feng looked at Guo Mengyao speechlessly. She looked like a fox that had stolen a chicken, which made Chen Feng feel a little unhappy.
So, while Chen Feng put on his clothes, he asked, "How is your business lately?"
Guo Mengyao's expression suddenly froze. Now the overall business of Mengyao cosmetics is still relatively good, but the progress of her opening a branch is not going well.
She had originally given up the idea of expanding into the third-tier city market because Chen Feng wanted to withdraw his shares, but with the addition of two new shareholders, the rapid increase in cash flow, and the further sales of her own cosmetics, she finally couldn't help it.
, opened a specialty store in five third-tier cities, that is, prefecture-level cities.
This store has been opened, but for so long, the business has been tepid. No one is doing well, and they are basically operating at a loss.
This situation is of course a big blow to her as a decision-maker.
During this time, she was hesitating whether to give up her plan to expand into third-tier cities, or to carry out promotional activities in these third-tier city stores, or to invite celebrities to endorse her to enhance the style and popularity of the Mengyao brand.
"Okay."
Guo Mengyao didn't want Chen Feng to know that her decision failed, so she could only say this.
But Chen Feng found out from Fang Xiaoyue that she had opened a specialty store in a third-tier city and was running it poorly.
Fang Xiaoyue often sends him WeChat messages when she has something to do, but Chen Feng basically doesn't reply.
Fang Xiaoyue took the initiative to tell him some things about Guo Mengyao, especially some bad things about Guo Mengyao. Guo Mengyao had been constipated for several days, had oral ulcers, had a red rash due to skin allergies, or had another suitor.
Guo Mengyao, of course, including Guo Mengyao's business troubles.
Chen Feng didn't know what Fang Xiaoyue's psychology was based on when she took the initiative to tell him this, but it definitely included jealousy.
They were two high school classmates. Fang Xiaoyue was originally a member of the system and was envied by everyone. She had always had a high opinion of herself. Otherwise, she would not have had a partner at such an old age because she was too picky.
But she has to compare herself with someone. Compared with Guo Mengyao, she is completely inferior as a staff member. Not only her status and wealth are completely incomparable, but even her own hard conditions cannot be compared with Guo Mengyao.
Not as beautiful as her, not as elegant as her, not as good as her figure.
In fact, she can tolerate all these, but the most intolerable thing is that Guo Mengyao has obviously been married, had children and divorced, but she is still in love with Chen Feng.
And she has never been married, never had a child, and has never had an abortion. In theory, she can be regarded as a "big girl." Even though she is not as charming and beautiful as Guo Mengyao, she can still be regarded as a beauty. However, she took the initiative several times.
Posting on Chen Feng implies that Chen Feng is no longer on good terms with her, but instead is on good terms with Guo Mengyao.
Naturally, she was unconvinced and unwilling in her heart, and it was inevitable that she would be jealous of Guo Mengyao.
Of course, on the surface, she and Guo Mengyao are now good best friends who talk about everything. They often meet in private and even visit each other.
Therefore, although Chen Feng did not pay much attention to Guo Mengyao, he learned a lot about her from Fang Xiaoyue, the undercover agent, which was generally things that Guo Mengyao himself would not tell him.
"That's good."
Chen Feng didn't expose her, there was no need. Now he is not a shareholder of Mengyao Cosmetics Company, nor can he be considered her boyfriend.
"The day after tomorrow, Qin Zhen's engagement party will be attended by most of our classmates. It will definitely be lively. However, the two of us who are divorced and single will definitely become the target of their public criticism. You must be mentally prepared."
Guo Mengyao didn't want to talk about the company's business with Chen Feng, so she changed the subject and talked about Qin Zhen's engagement party.
In high school, Qin Zhen had a good relationship with most of his classmates. Coupled with his family background and current department-level position in the system, there were even more people who tried to curry favor with him.
Therefore, for his engagement this time, almost all of his high school classmates who could make it came over. In addition, there were many junior high school classmates and even elementary school classmates, several college classmates, and several comrades-in-arms.
Coupled with the large group of relatives and friends at home, he couldn't hold the engagement party without having forty or fifty tables.
"What kind of psychological preparation should I make? I didn't have much presence in the class at the time. Some classmates may not even remember me."
Compared with Qin Zhen and Guo Mengyao, two children from the county|city who were active in the class, Chen Feng, a country boy, was very taciturn. In high school, he was not very gregarious in the class. The only classmate he really had good friends with was Qin Zhen.
One, is not close to other classmates.
At that time, Chen Feng was an honest kid who devoted himself to studying and answering questions. He was a typical question writer from a small town who came from a poor family. He did not cause trouble and was not gregarious. Generally, he did not have a strong sense of presence.
"Don't underestimate yourself. I don't know anything else. Basically, the girls in our class still remember you. Needless to say, Xiaoyue and I, many other female classmates have asked about us when they were in our classmate group.
You. Xiaoyue and I didn't say anything about you, but Wang Fang just started talking nonsense, saying that you were divorced and had made a fortune in Xiuzhou.
I later sent her a private message and asked her not to talk nonsense. She didn’t say anything about you. However, when she said this, many single female classmates in our class were very interested in you and were asking for your contact information.
.Have they contacted you recently? Added you as a friend?"
Chen Feng has never joined the high school classmate group, mainly because his relationship with these classmates was very ordinary at the beginning. Now that he has contacted them more than ten years ago, how much classmate friendship can he have?
And Chen Feng didn't buy insurance or do business of attracting people. It was completely unnecessary and meaningless to join the group to deal with these old classmates whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years, so he didn't bother to join.
Qin Zhen tried to get him to join the group, but when Fang Xiaoyue saw that he refused to join the group, she didn't try to persuade him. Originally, it was a matter of personal freedom whether to join or not.
As for the female classmate asking for his contact information to add him, Chen Feng knew it, but he treated it as a liar from the beginning.
When I added WeChat friends for verification, they all failed. Chen Feng did not answer two calls from unknown numbers.
Originally, Chen Feng's relationship with these classmates was average, and now that there are enough women around him, there is really no need to expand his interpersonal relationships.
"There should be, but I haven't been able to get through any of them. I generally don't answer calls from strangers who call me."
When Guo Mengyao heard this, she couldn't help but smile and give him a thumbs up: "You are really good. No wonder two female classmates in the group asked you to call you before, but you didn't answer or reply. I thought they got your phone number by mistake.
Number."
Chen Feng also said with some humor: "Are they all so idle?"
Guo Mengyao shook her head and said: "You still underestimated your own charm in the class. In fact, many female classmates in our class had a crush on you, including me. It was just that we were too reserved as girls at the time, and none of us had a crush on you.
I have the courage to confess to you.
But now they have all experienced severe beatings from society, and each of them has become a veteran. Of course, their face has become thicker. What's more important is that this guy Wang Fang exposed the news in the group that you made a fortune in Xiuzhou. Qin
Zhen also sent you a recent handsome photo as a joke. Of course, all those old ladies were moaning and groaning. Especially the single ones, they were drooling over you.
Humph, it’s a pity that they all obviously want to eat shit, even I can’t handle you, let alone them, they are a bunch of dregs, not two of them are good enough for me to fight.”
Chen Feng smiled and said: "Listening to what you said, there are still one or two people who are good-looking enough to compete with you, right? Who are they?"
Guo Mengyao rolled her eyes at him and pouted unhappily, but finally said, "Who else? Isn't it Zhao Zixuan?"
"Zhao Zixuan?" Chen Feng thought hard in his head with some confusion, and connected it with a girl in his memory who wore glasses, a ponytail, and dressed in an old-fashioned way.
In my memory, this female classmate named Zhao Zixuan was not a beauty.
"It's surprising, isn't it?" Guo Mengyao asked with a smile.
Chen Feng nodded: "Yes, in my memory Zhao Zixuan does not seem to be very beautiful. The most beautiful one was Cheng Yuhan, who was recognized by our school at that time. She was our class beauty and also the school beauty."
When Guo Mengyao heard what he said, she was immediately disgusted and sneered: "Although Cheng Yuhan is pretty pretty now, she has long lost the elegance and agility of the past. Do you know the reason?"
Chen Feng shook his head.
Guo Mengyao continued: "It can only be said that she was too beautiful when she was young and was coveted by many people. And she squandered her beauty too much and didn't know how to love herself. She only took three exams in college, and the tuition was very expensive, and she ended up...
A family accident happened. My mother became seriously ill and my father lost money in business. He had no choice but to sell the family house to pay off debts and treat his illness.
In this way, she obviously couldn't afford the high tuition fees for the next school year, and she couldn't even afford her daily living expenses. So, she, who was originally very aloof, had to choose a rich second generation among the many suitors at the time.
Later, she had an abortion and abortion for this rich second-generation man, and she stayed with him for two years but was eventually dumped. After that, she secretly fell in love with an old professor who could be her father, and was deceived by him.
She thought that after she graduated, the old professor would divorce her and marry her, but of course the old guy didn't really want to marry her.
However, the old guy finally gave her a breakup fee of 200,000 yuan in order to be afraid that she would cause trouble in school.
After that, Cheng Yuhan completely let herself go and struggled in the society for several years. With her beauty, she was successful in her work and career. She captured many men and made a lot of money. But she
It has also completely degenerated, and the relationship between men and women is very convenient.
Two years ago, her mother passed away. Before she died, she asked her to find someone to marry. She cried and agreed. So, two years ago, she found a rich old man to marry who was more than ten years older than her. This old man
The man was very kind to her and could be said to be completely obedient to her. She gave birth to a daughter a year ago, and her family could barely be considered happy. But the aura and aura of her youth never returned.
