Chapter 1304: Yes, I’m Using My Position for Personal Revenge, So What?

Chen Youran stuttered over her words, while Zhou Chengchen’s smile bloomed like a flower. Raising a hand, she interrupted her: "Who told you I’m an adult now? And by the way, have you heard this saying? ’A gentleman’s revenge is never too late, but a woman’s revenge is from morning till night.’ Didn’t I tell you, I’m home all day now, plenty of time to play with you."

Chen Youran’s face had turned almost translucently white, starkly contrasting with Zhou Chengchen’s smiling expression.

Zhou Chengchen, however, stood straight, her smile unchanged: "Zhou Family will not approve your resignation application. Of course, if you insist on leaving we can’t stop you. But let me make this clear: if you leave, Zhou Family will announce externally that you’ve been blacklisted. Think carefully about the consequences."

This time, the threat was blatantly revealed, and through Chen Youran’s pallid face, determination flickered. Her lips pressed tightly; although she was very afraid, she still had some pride.

Zhou Chengchen clearly had no intention of letting her off. No matter how much she humbled herself, it was of no use.

Gritting her teeth, Chen Youran opened her mouth: "You’re using public office for private revenge."

Zhou Chengchen laughed: "I’m glad you used the idiom correctly. Yes, I am using public office for private revenge. What? If you’re not convinced, bite me."

With that, Zhou Chengchen casually tossed out those words, clapped her hands, and walked away, leaving Chen Youran frozen in place.

Not many people in the Zhou Family knew the old grudges between Zhou Chengchen and Chen Youran. After she walked out, Xiao Rou gave her a thumbs up: "Impressive."

Zhou Chengchen smiled faintly, then saw Zhou Qi leaning lazily against the wall not far away: "Tsk, tsk, using public office for private revenge, and speaking so righteously. See how that kid Xi Siyan influenced you."

Zhou Chengchen raised an eyebrow: "What? Not convinced?"

"Convinced, convinced, convinced."

Actually, no matter what, the pain from those three years was real. Whether Chen Youran was good or bad, the pain between her and Xi Siyan was real.

Zhou Chengchen never really intended to drag Chen Youran out and give her a fierce lesson, but since she presented herself on a silver platter, naturally, she couldn’t be blamed.

"By the way, brother, did you investigate what I asked you to?"

"Of course, your classmate is something, already extending their hand to the Human Resources department before even entering Zhou Family."

Zhou Qi said with a bold air, Zhou Chengchen smiled and fell silent.

——

The stir caused by the sudden visit of the Zhou Family’s eldest daughter soon faded amid the tense, busy work of the afternoon.

It seemed nobody had any particularly strange emotions about the matter.

Except for Chen Youran.

On the computer screen, the large words "Resignation Application" were still sitting there steadily, without even a typo corrected.

Chen Youran was completely at a loss, not knowing what to do. Zhou Chengchen’s undisguised threat was clear even to a fool.

And at that moment, a message was sent to all employees’ work emails from the company’s Human Resources department.

The Human Resources Manager was dismissed for exploiting his position for personal gain and harming the company’s interests.

A personnel change of such caliber in the Human Resources department naturally required notification throughout the group, and gossip quickly ensued.

Usually, when a scandal forces such action, the company might save some face, not stating it so brazenly.
