"You don't fly much in a month, so hiring two flight attendants specifically doesn't feel very cost-effective."

As she spoke, she wrapped her arms around Chen Cheng's neck and sat in his lap. Her eyes were filled with a watery, flirtatious gaze. "Am I not enough for you?"

"And you even found a double for me?"

Clearly, Zou Yu knew Scum Cheng's true thoughts.

What kind of flight attendant recruitment was this?

He clearly just wanted to travel a thousand miles a day comfortably.

She didn't know where he had found a woman who looked exactly like her.

Chen Cheng smiled and didn't answer her. Instead, he reached out and grabbed something.

His eyes lit up instantly. "Have you put on weight recently?"

Zou Yu's pretty face turned rosy. "Mm, I noticed I went up a size a couple of days ago."

Hmm? The corners of Chen Cheng's mouth curled up. "I told you it would be useful, didn't I?"

Zou Yu gave him a charming roll of her eyes. "Heh, and who is it useful for?"

Chen Cheng didn't push his luck further. "I'm not the only one using the plane."

"Mainly, it's about privacy. I can't have the airline arrange it every time I fly long-distance."

"..."

Zou Yu was speechless, but she still felt a bit strange looking at that Xing Lu.

She glanced at Chen Cheng's computer screen and began to relay the situation regarding Sun Yiqiu that she had learned from Aunt Qiu.

Even though he already knew, Chen Cheng still listened as she spoke.

He had studied Go since elementary school, but failed to go professional. His academic studies were also neglected, so he didn't get into college.

Now he was doing odd jobs like working at convenience stores, deliveries, food delivery, and running errands.

After finishing, Zou Yu was very surprised. "Are you really sending a high school graduate to Company Name?"

"And to the investment department, no less."

Chen Cheng smiled and didn't explain. He couldn't exactly tell her that he just found Wu Kezhi annoying.

However, this was originally Sun Yiqiu and Wu Kezhi's fated destiny.

"Keeping an idle person who can't do much work is harmless."

Zou Yu curled her lip. You're the boss, you have the final say.

After speaking, an ambiguous smile appeared on Zou Yu's lips. "I heard from General Manager Gao that there's an intern in this batch at Company Name named Lan Qianyi who looks very similar to a certain someone~"

Chen Cheng rolled his eyes at her. 'A certain someone'—she obviously meant Guan Juer.

"I already knew."

Seeing his indifferent expression, Zou Yu's smile faded. "You seem a bit different lately."

The corner of Chen Cheng's mouth curved. Woman, your observation is quite keen.

After talking with Ye Zhenzhen, his mindset had indeed changed somewhat.

It was also after talking with Ye Zhenzhen that he suddenly realized his sulking that night was a bit melodramatic.

He was the one who wanted to transform Guan Juer.

The clothes, the styling, the cars, the watches...

From start to finish, he had set a high tone for Guan Juer.

Now that Guan Juer had truly changed, he was the one feeling uncomfortable.

In two words: being melodramatic.

But once the filter of her naive charm was broken, there was no going back.

Of course, Guan Juer's upbringing and her parents' example had already predetermined her naive charm; it was simply a product of her time before entering society.

After entering society, she would slowly begin to display the qualities inherited from her politician father and businesswoman mother.

Calculation, schemes, and strategy.

In the matter regarding Qiu Yingying that day, after Guan Juer accepted the fact that Chen Cheng had other women, her rapid actions to protect her own interests were almost instinctive.

Faced with an unknown enemy, she subconsciously looked for allies.

And Qiu Yingying, who already had a physical relationship with Chen Cheng and was close to her, was the best choice.

If there was a change, it was that his level of care for women had significantly decreased.

They say 'rarely confused' is a state of mind.

In reality, it's just not caring as much anymore, which allows one to stop overthinking and play dumb.

Ye Zhenzhen reminded him to keep a level head so he wouldn't subconsciously analyze others or perform psychological profiling on everyone.

Only then could he be happy.

As long as it didn't affect his interests, there was nothing he couldn't tolerate.

This was the mindset of a king.

Yes, Scum Cheng had evolved again.

Chen Cheng reached both hands into her clothes to play.

Needless to say, a man's hands just felt more comfortable when they were holding onto something.

Chen Cheng had a wicked grin on his face. "Then do you want to experience exactly what's different?"

Zou Yu's face was already flushed from his touch. "Humph~ Who's afraid of who?"

She gave a soft snort, tilted her head up, and pressed her lips against Chen Cheng's in a kiss.

Just as the two were locked in a passionate kiss, the doorbell rang from downstairs.

"Ding-dong~"

"Ding-dong~"

Zou Yu pulled away from Chen Cheng with a sense of loss, her face red as she said, "I'll go get the door."

Chen Cheng let out a breath, suppressing the restlessness in his heart.

It wasn't that he lacked self-control, but rather that Zou Yu was becoming more and more alluring under his 'development'.

He smiled, moved the mouse, and switched to the surveillance feed of the front door.

A smile played on his lips. "Oh, a rare guest."

Zou Yu glanced back at the monitor, and her expression immediately stiffened. The flush on her face vanished almost instantly.

She gave a faint smile. "I'll go down and open the door."

Chen Cheng nodded slightly and withdrew his large hands from her clothes.

Jiang Nansun waved at the camera with a serious expression.

She was wearing a white knit sweater paired with jeans, topped with a black wool coat and a baseball cap.

Princess Jiang was truly Princess Jiang, always so fashionable.

Before long, Jiang Nansun came running up the stairs with a 'thud thud thud'.

"Oh, did you miss me?" Chen Cheng looked at Jiang Nansun with a wicked grin.

Jiang Nansun immediately shot him a glare. "Who missed you?"

Chen Cheng smiled and stopped teasing her. His eyes darted around as he asked, "Looking for me in such a hurry, is something wrong?"

Jiang Nansun walked up to him and, just like Zou Yu before her, leaned her backside against the computer desk.

She looked at Chen Cheng, swallowed hard, and organized her thoughts.

"Today, Zhang Anren went to the train station to pick up a fellow villager."

Chen Cheng frowned. So Yuan Yuan had arrived. "A woman?"

An awkward look flashed across Jiang Nansun's face. "Mm."

"Zhang Anren said she's a younger sister from his neighborhood. Their mothers are friends who do square dancing together. Since she's coming to Shanghai, he was asked to look after her."

Chen Cheng went into 'Best Actor' mode. "That doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with it."

"A girl in a strange place, it's quite normal for her family to ask someone to look after her, isn't it?"

"No~" Jiang Nansun hurriedly interrupted. "Looking after a fellow villager is fine."

"But he actually said it's unsafe for a girl to stay in a hotel, and he discussed with me whether he could let Yuan Yuan stay at his place."

"Yes, that girl's name is Yuan Yuan."

"He put it that way, so how could I not agree?"

Jiang Nansun said huffily, "The house is his; he can let whoever he wants stay there."

Chen Cheng almost couldn't hold back a laugh. It turned out the one Zhang Anren liked most in his heart was still his old flame.

However, he was truly bold, actually daring to play the 'hiding in plain sight' card.

Openly discussing it with Jiang Nansun. 'She's just a sister from my neighborhood, I've already told you, if you don't agree, then you're just being narrow-minded.'

Once she agreed, she couldn't exactly run to the outer ring road to monitor him 24 hours a day.

A man and a woman alone, and old flames at that—it was only natural for something romantic to happen.

Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow and asked, "So you agreed?"

"And they've already moved in together like that?"
