Seriously? He Yubing, you're back again?

She was someone loyal to her mother to the extreme, someone who would even, for the sake of repaying a debt of gratitude, casually allow her mother to arrange her marriage without ever opposing it.

She was someone who, even after her mother passed away, treated Chenyang Group as her life's work and had always guarded it.

How could he possibly not trust her?

It wasn't like he was crazy.

After eating his fill, Zhou Cheng glanced at He Yubing beside him; she didn't seem to have eaten much.

"Do you not have much of an appetite tonight?" Zhou Cheng asked.

He then realized that these dishes were all things he loved to eat, and he froze, feeling a bit awkward.

He immediately arranged for Manager Wu to prepare a few dishes that she liked and have them packed for her.

He Yubing shook her head and said she couldn't eat too much at night, but Zhou Cheng didn't pay any attention to that and still had Manager Wu arrange it.

After waiting a while, once the dishes were packed, Zhou Cheng led He Yubing outside.

Manager Wu carried the packed dishes and saw them all the way to the door.

Zhou Cheng took the keys from the receptionist, got into the car, and started it.

He Yubing sat in the passenger seat, holding the packed food.

After asking for He Yubing's home address, Zhou Cheng drove directly there!

They didn't say much on the way. Zhou Cheng knew He Yubing was definitely overthinking things again, but he had already said what needed to be said, and he couldn't stop her from overthinking.

He Yubing lived with her parents and also had a younger sister, though Zhou Cheng had never met her.

After dropping He Yubing off at her residential complex, Zhou Cheng left directly.

When he returned home, Zhou Feiyu and Zhou Wanyu had already returned to their hometown.

Uncle Chen was still at the manor maintaining its operations. He generally didn't leave, and this time was the same; he wouldn't be returning to their hometown with Zhou Cheng and the others.

After washing up, Zhou Cheng lay on the bed. His flight was tomorrow morning; although he didn't have to work, he still needed to get up early to catch the plane!

...

On He Yubing's side, after watching Zhou Cheng leave, she carried the packed dishes back home.

Thanks to her hard work, her family's living conditions had gotten better and better, and the complex they lived in was in a wealthy area of Shanghai.

After giving the packed food to her mother, she went to wash up. She didn't have much of an appetite tonight.

Her mind was completely occupied with thoughts of how to raise her Rank of trust!

After washing up, she lay on the bed.

Thinking for a moment, she sat back up. She picked up her phone, tiptoed to the door, and locked it.

Then, she dimmed the room's lights!

She walked over to the mirror; compared to before, she chose to be even bolder this time!

Click, click, click!

...

On Zhou Cheng's side, he was currently scrolling through Douyin, waiting for sleepiness to hit so he could put down his phone and sleep.

And just when he was feeling a bit sleepy, swish, swish, swish!!!

Several messages came through on super message.

Zhou Cheng tapped to open them and saw they were from He Yubing!

Synchronized with them were several strings of text from He Yubing.

"Second Young Master, I'm sorry. I really don't know how Qiu Yuwei obtained those documents, but I know I'm the biggest suspect. I don't know how to explain it now to make you restore your trust in me!"

"So, I can only use action to make you trust me. This is what I just took!"

"Please rest assured, these are just handles to make you trust me; there is no other meaning."

Zhou Cheng finished reading He Yubing's text at a glance.

Then, he scanned the photos He Yubing had sent in a single glance.

You've got to be kidding me, He Yubing, I only told you this morning, and you're doing it again?

And this time, you're playing so big? There's only two spots covering the top?

You almost became my sister-in-law, you know, and haven't I always told you that I trust you, that I trust you the most!

Especially when you have that cold, aloof demeanor during the day as the chief assistant to the CEO of the Group, managing hundreds of thousands of employees.

And now you're playing like this with me—do you know how deadly the contrast is?

And you're giving me handles—if you send these a few more times, I'm going to have to give you handles!

Zhou Cheng carefully tapped to take a look, then quickly closed it and replied with a string of ellipses.

Then, he immediately sent a serious voice message over!

"From now on, you are forbidden from sending me these, otherwise I will fire you directly!" Zhou Cheng said coldly on purpose.

That should be a proper threat, right?

However, in this world, Zhou Cheng's words were like an Overbearing CEO declaration.

Not only did it fail to have the intended threatening effect, but it actually made her love him even more.

"Received," He Yubing replied.

Although she received it, she would still send them next time.

Only by sending more could she maintain the Rank of trust, and surely this was the only way to make the Second Young Master always feel at ease with her!

Seeing this, Zhou Cheng nodded.

Then he got up and went to the bathroom to wash up again!

...

The next day.

Zhou Cheng woke up early in the morning, and then, under Uncle Chen's escort, arrived at the airport!

His hometown, which was his grandfather's home, was in a central province.

However, although it was his hometown, in reality, including his Previous Self, they hadn't returned there many times!

Because Zhou Yuanbo had previously had a falling out with his father, and plus the family's business focus was all in Shanghai, they wouldn't go back unless there was something important.

Even for Chinese New Year, they would have the housekeeper from their hometown bring his grandparents to Shanghai to celebrate.

After a flight of about two hours, just after getting off the plane, Zhou Cheng saw Zhou Feiyu and Zhou Wanyu, who had come to pick him up.

"Xiao Cheng, did anything happen at the Liu Family yesterday? Did you manage to discuss any countermeasures or reach an agreement?" Zhou Feiyu asked.

He was now completely focused on the Group's affairs, and even though he had returned, he was still concerned about the Group's matters.

"No, I just accompanied those old men for afternoon tea," Zhou Cheng replied casually.

If it weren't for the thought that they might actually be able to discuss something, Zhou Cheng really wouldn't have wanted to go.

As it turned out, it was really better not to have gone.

"Uh..." Zhou Feiyu was stunned upon hearing this; this answer was really simple.

Zhou Cheng then got into the maybach that Zhou Feiyu had driven over and glanced at Zhou Wanyu.

"Why did you follow along?"

"It was too boring, and there weren't many people I knew, so I just tagged along," Zhou Wanyu said.

She then added, "I originally asked Eldest Sister if she wanted to come, but when she heard it was to pick you up, she refused directly."

Hearing this, Zhou Cheng shrugged indifferently.

He didn't have time to deal with Zhou Shurong's childish temper.

...

Speeding along the road, after driving for about another hour, they finally arrived at their hometown.

This place belonged to the outskirts of the outskirts of the provincial capital. Although it was technically part of the provincial capital, it still had the appearance of a village, with no high-rise buildings; after all, central cities were ultimately different from developed coastal cities!

However, under the Zhou Family's renovation, the entire village had taken on a brand new look!
