“I… that one was yours. Zhou Feng drank the one meant for you,” Ye Yun stammered.
In truth, Ye Yun had deliberately bought only two cups of milk tea because he wanted to annoy Zhou Feng.
Today was clearly supposed to be his date with Wu Jiarui, yet Zhou Feng had insisted on tagging along as a third wheel. Not only that, but Zhou Feng had refused to lend him a car.
Ye Yun had even prepared an excuse in case Zhou Feng asked why there was no milk tea for him. He planned to say that a wealthy young master like Zhou Feng probably would not casually drink beverages bought outside, so he had not purchased one for him.
He never expected Zhou Feng to act so quickly and simply drink the cup originally meant for Wu Jiarui.
“Sorry. I thought this one was mine. Here, you can have it back.” Zhou Feng handed the half-finished milk tea to Wu Jiarui.
“You drank from it, and now you’re giving it back to me?” Wu Jiarui was so angry that she almost laughed.
“What? You find it disgusting? Just now, you…” Zhou Feng had originally intended to say that they had already kissed, so what was there to dislike about sharing a cup of milk tea?
However, before he could finish speaking, Wu Jiarui took the cup, bit down hard on the straw, and took a huge sip.
Then she glared fiercely at Zhou Feng.
Her expression seemed to say, ‘Satisfied now?’
Wu Jiarui absolutely did not want Zhou Feng revealing what the two of them had been doing moments earlier.
Clatter!
Ye Yun’s milk tea slipped from his hand and fell to the floor.
He stood there completely dumbfounded, unable to understand why Wu Jiarui would drink from Zhou Feng’s cup.
‘Was she really that thirsty? But I have milk tea too. Why didn’t she drink mine?’
“I have something to do, so I’m leaving.”
Holding the remaining milk tea, Wu Jiarui walked toward the elevators without looking back.
“I haven’t given you your gift yet! It’s right here…” Ye Yun hurriedly chased after her.
There was still a shopping bag in his hand. Inside was a cosmetic product Wu Jiarui had noticed earlier.
While buying the milk tea, Ye Yun had secretly gone back and purchased it. He had originally planned to surprise Wu Jiarui.
Ye Yun had often done things like this in the past. Every time, Wu Jiarui would put on a surprised expression, giving Ye Yun an enormous sense of satisfaction.
“Get lost! Stop following me!”
Wu Jiarui cursed at him directly before stepping into the elevator.
Ye Yun froze where he stood.
‘Did I really make Wu Jiarui this angry just because I didn’t buy her milk tea?’
Things had deteriorated so badly that she did not even want his gift anymore.
Just as Ye Yun sank into despair, a hand landed on his shoulder.
“Sorry about that. I thought the milk tea was meant for me. I didn’t realize it was for Wu Jiarui,” Zhou Feng said with a faint smile.
“That one… was actually meant for you,” Ye Yun replied with a forced smile, saying the exact opposite of what he truly meant.
“Then you didn’t buy one for Wu Jiarui?”
Zhou Feng looked at him as though he were watching a clown, curious to see how Ye Yun would explain himself.
“I need to catch up with Wu Jiarui and clear things up with her…”
Just then, another elevator opened. Ye Yun lowered his head, hurried inside, and fled in embarrassment.
“Hehe…”
Zhou Feng watched Ye Yun disappear and sneered.
‘Don’t be impatient. This is only the beginning.’
Zhou Feng intended to make this guy lose everyone around him.
After returning to his car, Zhou Feng opened the system reward.

…
In an instant, all kinds of information about Chu Tian appeared in Zhou Feng’s mind, including everything he had experienced before and what he would experience afterward.
In the novel, Chu Tian had not found a job after graduating from high school. Instead, he had become an idle street punk who spent his days hanging around with several so-called brothers.
All they did was fight and cause trouble wherever they went.
Eventually, someone was killed during one of their group fights.
Chu Tian and several of his brothers were sent to prison. Chu Tian was even regarded as the leader of the group and received a sentence of more than ten years.
However, while in prison, Chu Tian happened to share a cell with an unfathomable old man who had concealed his true abilities.
By serving the old man every day, Chu Tian eventually managed to move him with his devotion.
The old man then passed everything he had learned throughout his life to Chu Tian.
In just three short years, Chu Tian became a Transformation Force Expert. He also mastered the old man’s two supreme martial arts, the Heavenly Silkworm Art and the Seven Forms Fist. Get faster updates on novelping(.)com.
Later, the old man even used his connections to secretly get Chu Tian out of prison.
He wanted Chu Tian to help look after his daughter.
The old man had too many enemies and could not conveniently leave prison himself. Otherwise, he might attract enemies who wanted him dead.
That daughter was Shen Mengying, the female lead during the early stages of the novel.
She was currently the owner of an advertising company.
Chu Tian went to apply for a bodyguard position and successfully became Shen Mengying’s personal bodyguard.
He subsequently helped Shen Mengying survive numerous assassination attempts. Later, through shameless persistence, he even managed to establish a relationship with her.
Eventually, he successfully obtained Shen Mengying’s assets as well.
It could be said that he had completely taken over everything that belonged to her.
According to the current progression of the plot, Chu Tian had only just gone to Shen Mengying’s company to apply for the bodyguard position.
Although Zhou Feng still did not know what conflict would eventually arise between himself and Chu Tian, there was already a simple way to prevent Chu Tian from following the original plot.
He called Shen Mengying.
“Young Master Zhou? Is there something you need?” Shen Mengying’s courteous voice came through the phone.
“CEO Shen, it’s nothing important. I just rejected someone who applied for a bodyguard position here. He seems to have a criminal record, and I heard he’s gone to apply at your company as well. You should be careful,” Zhou Feng said with a faint smile.
Many positions would refuse to hire someone with a criminal record.
That was especially true for security-related jobs. People with criminal records could easily return to a life of crime, and when they did, they were often particularly experienced in how to go about it.
“Oh, right. His name is Chu Tian,” Zhou Feng added at the end.
“Thank you for the warning, Young Master Zhou.”
Shen Mengying was somewhat surprised.
As it happened, she was currently looking to hire a bodyguard.
Recently, she had received quite a few threats. Shen Mengying suspected they had come from her business competitors, who wanted to intimidate her because she was a woman and force her to withdraw from certain competitive projects.
However, she had never expected Zhou Feng to personally call and warn her.
After ending the call, Shen Mengying immediately contacted her secretary and asked her to bring over the list of everyone who had applied for the bodyguard position that day.
Sure enough, there was a man named Chu Tian on the list.
Shen Mengying immediately crossed out his name.
It was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Since Zhou Feng had specifically warned her that there was something wrong with Chu Tian, she naturally had no intention of taking the risk of keeping him as a candidate.
Meanwhile, downstairs, a young man with a buzz cut was greedily eyeing every woman who walked past him.
