41: Chapter 41 An Encounter

Chen Cheng immediately started researching the Japan stock market.

[Ding ~ Yu Chuhui favorability - 1 = 75]

?

Chen Cheng was stunned; it was the middle of the day.

What are you doing~

Another unexpected thing was that Yu Chuhui's favorability towards him was still quite low.

Yu Chuhui bought medicine in the morning, bought a bottle of water at a convenience store, and took the medicine before getting on the subway.

She couldn't bear to throw away the remaining medicine, so she threw away the packaging and put the medicine in the innermost layer of her bag. She had a strange feeling it might still be useful.

As soon as she arrived at the office, she sat at her desk sulking, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

She was angry at Chen Cheng, but even angrier at herself.

Yu Chuhui pursed her lips, mentally scolding herself: 'Yu Chuhui, can't you have some self-respect? You couldn't hold back just because of a little good looks.'

'It's not like he just has a handsome face and eight-pack abs.'

Zhong Penghao, who sat at the desk behind her, had been watching her. Naturally, he noticed her mood was off and ran over to show concern. He asked all sorts of questions, which Yu Chuhui directly shot down.

Zhong Penghao hit a wall and sheepishly returned to his desk. He wondered what was wrong. It wasn't the time of the month for her, was it?

'Forget it, I'll go get her some hot water. Maybe drinking more hot water will make her feel better.'

Neither of them had any interest in working; Yu Chuhui surfed various websites and slacked off, while Zhong Penghao looked at his goddess's back from time to time.

At lunchtime, it was time to go downstairs to eat.

Chen Chaosheng, the glutton, woke the two dazed people up.

They still had to eat, so Yu Chuhui stood up expressionlessly.

'Hey, Yu Chuhui, what's wrong with your leg?' Chen Chaosheng asked Yu Chuhui, who was having trouble moving.

Yu Chuhui's face turned red instantly. Although they usually called each other buddy, this kind of thing wasn't suitable to be spoken aloud.

'Uh... nothing, I accidentally strained it while practicing this morning.'

'Oh, so that's how it is,' Zhong Penghao suddenly realized. It turned out Yu Chuhui was in a bad mood because she was injured. He reached out to help, 'Let me support you.'

Yu Chuhui's eyes widened immediately, and she hurriedly refused, pushing away Zhong Penghao, who was preparing to help.

'No need, I can do it myself,' she said, smiling at Zhong Penghao to tell him not to worry.

Before, everyone called each other buddy, so helping each other was fine.

Now, if she had physical contact with Zhong Penghao, she felt very resistant.

Well, whether she could be supported now depended on Chen Cheng's interest.

'Oh~ alright then,' Zhong Penghao didn't force it after hearing what Yu Chuhui said.

Yu Chuhui stumbled behind the two, the pain below making her feel very aggrieved.

She took out her phone, wondering if Chen Cheng would send her a message or something, but there was nothing.

Their chat interface was still stuck on 'The other party has accepted your friend request...'

Yu Chuhui was instantly speechless and viciously cursed, 'Bah! scumbag!'

'Who? Who is a scumbag?' Zhong Penghao had been keeping an eye on Yu Chuhui's movements.

'Oh~ no one. I'm just looking at my phone,' Yu Chuhui smiled and raised her phone.

She cursed again in her heart, 'Bah, scumbag! Didn't even ask once.'

Chen Cheng looked at Yu Chuhui's favorability of 75 and hooked his lips. He still hadn't figured out what had prompted Yu Chuhui to throw herself at him.

Was it really the alcohol? Or was his charm just limitless?

The Scum didn't realize that the biggest reason was actually that he had jokingly tickled Yu Chuhui's soles, making her feel itchy in her heart.

Chen Cheng hesitated for a long time about whether to send her a message.

The reason for his hesitation was simply that Chen Cheng didn't want to continue developing things; Yu Chuhui wasn't his type.

In the end, Scum Chen still took out his phone and sent a message to Yu Chuhui.

First blood wasn't that easy to get.

Sigh, what a sin.

[Chen Cheng: Eat something good at noon, nourish yourself!]

He casually sent two red envelopes of two hundred each.

[Chen Cheng: If your legs are inconvenient, take a taxi when you go to pick up your mother. I have work here and can't leave, otherwise I would have gone to pick you up.]

He didn't really have any unavoidable arrangements; it was just his habit not to be a warm man.

Not long after, before Yu Chuhui's message came, the system's electronic sound arrived.

[Ding ~ Yu Chuhui favorability + 3 = 78]

The message also came quickly.

[Yu Chuhui: Not needed!]

Chen Cheng hooked his lips; she was quite proud.

Chen Cheng put down his phone and didn't reply to Yu Chuhui again.

At this moment, Karen knocked on the door and walked in, walking straight to Chen Cheng and handing him the tablet in her hand.

'Boss, the information you wanted.'

Chen Cheng took it and saw that it was the social relationships and resumes of his several good seniors that he had asked Karen to investigate two days ago.

Chen Cheng looked at it for a long time and was somewhat stunned.

(⊙o⊙)...

Chen Cheng discovered that this plot was very different from what he knew.

Miao Che's daughter was only twelve years old and was with his ex-wife in New Home.

Then who was the daughter of Tao Wuji's girlfriend - Miao Nickname?

Or did Tao Wuji not have a girlfriend at all?

'Do you want to eat? It's lunchtime?' Karen asked Chen Cheng, who was carefully looking at the materials.

'Oh, is it twelve o'clock already?' Chen Cheng raised his hand to look at the Overseas watch on his wrist.

He had really forgotten; he was too excited about fleecing the Japan.

'Then let's eat first,' Chen Cheng said, dropping the file in his hand.

Karen immediately revealed a bright smile; it had been a long time since she had eaten with her handsome boss.

Chen Cheng and Karen went to a restaurant near the company together.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, Chen Cheng saw Lucy and Li Qixing sitting by the window, and his eyes were involuntarily drawn to them.

Lucy was highly vigilant and sensed Chen Cheng's gaze. When she saw it was Chen Cheng, she smiled and greeted him.

Seeing this, a wave of jealousy surged in Li Qixing's heart.

Chen Cheng didn't go over to say hello, just nodded politely, and then found a seat with Karen.

However, his thoughts could not be focused, and Lucy's beautiful figure kept appearing before his eyes.

He unconsciously compared her with Karen in front of him, one with exotic style, the other hot and sexy.

Just at this moment, Lucy actually took the initiative to come over to say hello.

Chen Cheng was a little surprised, looked at her with a smile, and glanced at Li Qixing, who was looking over eagerly from afar, and asked knowingly: 'Looks like one of the beautiful Lucy's pursuers.'

A shy smile appeared on Lucy's face, and she nodded slightly.

Chen Cheng smiled knowingly. This Lucy looked like a tough person, but it turned out she could also blush.

The iron lady blushing was kind of cute.

Lucy was very surprised to meet Chen Cheng again at noon and felt a glimmer of joy.

Because she didn't want to eat alone with Li Qixing; seeing him always made her think of Li Xun.

That made her feel a bit nauseous, so how could she eat?

But she couldn't get rid of the other party, who was like a piece of dog skin plaster.

She was fishing the other party, couldn't refuse too harshly, so she sat at a table and ate half-willingly.

'How about it? Eat together?' Chen Cheng invited.

Lucy frowned. Although she really didn't want to eat alone with Li Qixing, calling Li Qixing over would only create more problems.

She had to refuse, 'No, I just came over to say hello to you.'

As she said that, the corners of Lucy's mouth smiled.

Chen Cheng didn't care, looked at Karen who was staring at the two, and introduced them: 'Oh, by the way, this is my colleague Karen.'

'Karen, this is my neighbor Lucy.'

While the two were talking, Karen was already sizing up Lucy.

Based on her understanding of her Scum boss, Lucy was obviously very much in line with his aesthetic.

Karen raised her hand to remove the hairband tying her hair, her flowing wavy long hair hung down naturally, and she removed the black-framed glasses on her face, revealing her moving beauty.

She stood up with a smile and reached out to greet Lucy.

'Hello, Lucy. My name is Karen, I am the boss's secretary.'

'Hello, Karen.'

The two smiled, but there were undercurrents.

In her state like a frightened bird, how could Lucy not sense Karen's hostility?

But her face was exceptionally warm, and she smiled as she sized up Chen Cheng and Karen.

After greeting, Lucy left.
