Chen Cheng smiled and shook his head, 'I can't accept that label.'

'You studied finance, how did you end up in HR?' Chen Cheng asked again.

He, of course, knew that Lucy went to work in HR at Hongtai Assets because of her enemy's son, Li Qixing.

But he couldn't let the conversation die, could he?

Lucy wanted revenge, but Li Xun had deep roots and a massive presence in the industry.

How could a nobody like her, with no background or qualifications, possibly get revenge?

She had to find another way, targeting Li Qixing, who was desperate to escape his family's constraints and had fled from the capital to Shanghai for work.

She would hunt Li Qixing, and when he couldn't control his desires, she would strike.

She would find an opportunity, pretend to be drunk and lose consciousness, and wait for the lecherous fool to take the bait.

She had the recording and video equipment all set up perfectly.

Lucy had no intention of letting Li Qixing take advantage of her; otherwise, her years of free combat training would have been for nothing.

Once the video was posted online, given the current state of internet public opinion, if Li Qixing stepped even slightly out of line, the netizens would tear him apart.

Once the scandal fermented, she would release a few small exposés on Li Xun, dragging him down with his son.

It would be best to draw out a few other victims who had been sexually harassed by Li Xun to share their stories.

Then the Li father and son, both the real and the fake, wouldn't be able to wash themselves clean even if they jumped into the Yellow River.

Netizens would only say, 'Like father, like son.'

Li Xun wasn't as young as he used to be, and his company certainly wouldn't protect him.

Li Qixing, that young brat, would be unemployed right after graduating and suffer social death in the industry.

Chen Cheng had to give a thumbs up to Lucy's scheme.

What a ruthless woman!

Unfortunately, at the last minute, Lucy had a change of heart and didn't make a move on Li Qixing.

She gave up on making the son pay for the father's sins and chose to confront them head-on.

Ironically, in the end, her revenge relied on an undercover agent close to Li Xun.

Lucy's biggest contribution was using Li Qixing to lure the tiger away from the mountain, allowing the undercover agent to use financial evidence to send Li Xun to prison.

One can only say the scriptwriter didn't tie it up very well.

Speaking of work, Lucy's heart tightened. At Hongtai, she was using the name of a boss's sister from Yongcheng.

When she was abroad, she helped this Boss Jin from Yongcheng handle a tax lawsuit. Boss Jin admired her ability, and even more so, her beauty.

He helped her with her revenge plan, though it was just a small favor to get her a fake identity; he didn't put in much effort.

'There's no need for schemes or too much plotting, and the workload is light.' Lucy forced a smile, though she was incredibly nervous inside.

Chen Cheng nodded 'approvingly,' 'That's true, work is just a part of life.'

The two walked and talked, and before long, they arrived.

After parking in the basement, Lucy looked at Chen Cheng getting out of the car with her and felt a sense of relief.

If there was a real risk of exposure, she could just confess what she was planning to do. She wouldn't ask for his support, but at least she could try to get him to stand aside.

She felt their conversation had been quite pleasant, so she should have a good chance.

Chen Cheng hadn't intended to go to the company, but since he was already here, he might as well go up and take a look.

'Can I buy you a coffee?' Chen Cheng said with a smile while waiting for the elevator.

He wasn't in a rush to go up. Just now, when Chen Cheng decided to go to the company, he had sent a message to Lin Kailun asking where she was.

The woman happened to be in Shanghai, so Chen Cheng told her to come over. Since she hadn't arrived yet, Chen Cheng planned to wait for her downstairs.

Usually, Chen Cheng never asked where she worked. Her job was to gather all sorts of information. Sitting in an office was useless, so she was often elusive, making her the most mysterious person in Chen Cheng's team.

'Oh, thank you,' Lucy looked at her watch and smiled beautifully, 'There's still time... then let's have one.'

There was a coffee shop in the first-floor lobby. When Chen Cheng saw the sign, his lips curled up.

Company Name!

This was the prey Chen Cheng had been eyeing recently. However, he still had to wait for the right moment.

'One Latte, no ice,' Chen Cheng said to the clerk.

He then asked Lucy, 'What would you like to drink?'

Lucy glanced at the menu above and said to the clerk, 'One iced Americano, please.'

Chen Cheng naturally showed the QR code to the clerk.

After ordering, the two stood to the side waiting, continuing their previous conversation.

When Lucy learned that Chen Cheng frequently traveled back and forth to New Home, she was inexplicably pleasantly surprised.

This was a common topic.

Although she rarely went out except for class, that didn't stop her from knowing the cities and streets of New Home.

'Hi~ Lucy.'

As the two were chatting about the Chinese collection at the Metropolitan Museum, a voice interrupted their conversation.

When Lucy saw who it was, she panicked a bit. It was Li Qixing. Feeling the pressure of being exposed, she nervously glanced at Chen Cheng, then forced a smile and nodded at Li Qixing.

Chen Cheng noticed the nervousness on her face and his lips curled up.

'Who is this?' Li Qixing asked Lucy, looking at Chen Cheng warily.

There was no help for it; Scum Chen's looks were quite up to par, not to mention his physique.

Most importantly, his skin tone was a healthy wheat color, slightly on the fairer side.

He had always been worried that Lucy wouldn't be interested in a 'little milk dog' like him with fair, rosy skin.

Now that a tall man who he thought fit Lucy's taste had appeared, how could he not be nervous?

Even his gaze toward Chen Cheng carried a hint of subtle hostility.

Although Lucy was nervous, she didn't give Li Qixing a friendly look; instead, she smiled apologetically at Chen Cheng, 'This is my colleague.'

She was currently in the stage where she only needed to exude charm and keep Li Qixing on the hook.

A lukewarm response was fine; she didn't need to be too enthusiastic toward him.

Chen Cheng smiled and nodded at Brother Dawang, 'Hello.'

With a smile on his face, he thought to himself, 'Little Li, since your old man is Li Xun, it's destined that you won't be able to win the beauty's heart.' 'Mine, mine, it's all mine.'

Li Qixing responded politely, 'Hello.'

After the greetings, Li Qixing started chatting with Lucy.

'Lucy, that coach you recommended is really good.'

Once the conversation started, Li Qixing became somewhat long-winded. Anyone with eyes could see he was chasing his crush.

Chen Cheng picked up his coffee, nodded at Lucy, and left.

Karen had arrived, and he had no intention of competing with a 'little milk dog' for attention here.

Instead, Lucy ignored Li Qixing and smiled very sincerely at Chen Cheng, 'Okay, bye~'

If Chen Cheng talked too much, the risk of her being exposed would be extremely high. When Li Qixing arrived, her heart had jumped into her throat.

Lucy was very grateful that Chen Cheng left so quickly without saying anything.

Just then, the system screen in Chen Cheng's sea of consciousness flickered.

[Lucy favorability + 5]

Uh... to be honest, Chen Cheng still hadn't gotten used to having a system.

But he did use the skill given by the master system during his friendly match with Shen Jing... Endless Vitality was too powerful.

As for this favorability thing, Chen Cheng hadn't yet experienced its benefits.

Chen Cheng checked Lucy's favorability.

[Fang Zhiheng favorability: 66]

Whoa, that's really low.

It's mainly because when a handsome guy like Chen Cheng walks down the street, female passersby's favorability is usually above the baseline of 60, generally in the 65-70 range.

Lucy's favorability is just at the level of an ordinary passerby.

So I gave you a ride for nothing, and you only gave me a bit of favorability because I didn't say much in front of Li Qixing.

As expected, revenge is your top priority.

Scum Chen shook his head, feeling very hurt.

However, there will be plenty of time in the future.
