"Li Zhiyan, come to my office." Jin Mengyu glanced at Li Zhiyan, but didn’t take it seriously. After all, he was the true heir of Changlong Group, and small employees like Li Zhiyan weren’t even worth his attention. Liu Yichen and Liu Jinxin’s eyes were full of pity. After Li Zhiyan followed Catherine, he planned to reward her today. No matter what, she had stood up for him against Evelyn. "Li Zhiyan, can you do me a favor later?" Li Zhiyan paused for a moment, but remembering how Catherine had stood up for him, he still agreed. "Not bad, you know your place." Catherine felt very satisfied. This kid was quite tactful. Of course, she still intended to get back at him eventually. After arriving at the office, Catherine walked up to Evelyn. "Move aside, I want to sit here." Evelyn huffed but moved over reluctantly. She didn’t believe for a second that someone as defiant as Li Zhiyan would massage Catherine’s feet. "Li Zhiyan, come over here and rub my feet!" Very soon, something Evelyn found unbelievable happened. Li Zhiyan sat down next to Catherine and, after taking off her high heels, started massaging her feet. Because Evelyn was present, Li Zhiyan didn’t massage her legs and kept his actions within an acceptable boundary. This scene made Evelyn swallow involuntarily, her mind unable to process what she was seeing. Li Zhiyan was actually massaging Catherine? Could there be something unseemly going on between these two? But after thinking about it, Evelyn found it impossible. Catherine was such a proud woman—there was no way she’d look kindly on an Asian man. There was no way something like that would happen with Li Zhiyan. Then, noticing Catherine leaning back with her eyes closed and looking completely at ease, Evelyn couldn’t help but feel curious. Could it really feel that good to just have someone rub your feet? It wasn’t until after Li Zhiyan had left that Evelyn finally snapped out of it. Catherine stretched lazily, her ample chest on full display. "So, what do you think? Isn’t Li Zhiyan obedient to me?" "He’s my slave, and in this lifetime, there’s no way you can make him treat you ." "When you asked him to wipe your high heels for you, did he even respond?" "He’s mine, my personal slave!" Catherine began to gloat. At long last, she had found a way to put her lifelong rival in her place! After all, Evelyn had genuinely tried to bully Li Zhiyan—and failed. Evelyn couldn’t find the words to respond for a moment. It was true, there was no denying it. "So what if you bullied a low-level employee from a small town? I’ll soon have him massaging my feet too!" Evelyn stormed out of Catherine’s office in her high heels. Watching Evelyn’s retreating back, Catherine felt a deep sense of satisfaction. She couldn’t remember the last time she had felt this pleased! Back in her own office, Evelyn poured herself a glass of water but, unable to contain her fury, splashed it onto the floor. This time, Catherine had truly and thoroughly defeated her! If she hadn’t tried to humiliate Li Zhiyan earlier, it wouldn’t matter to her whether he massaged Catherine’s feet or not. But the fact was, she had failed in her attempt to bully Li Zhiyan, while Catherine had managed to have him obediently rub her feet without a single complaint. That thought set her heart ablaze with anger, and a burning sense of uncontrollable jealousy surged within her. "I must have Li Zhiyan rub my feet too!" That thought took root in Evelyn’s mind. Her first instinct was to resort to threats, but upon further reflection, she realized such methods wouldn’t work on Li Zhiyan. If she sent people to rough him up, he wouldn’t even flinch. If she tried to have him fired, he would be undeterred since Catherine would certainly insist on keeping him in the company to prove her dominance. That left her with only one viable option: a softer approach. Perhaps she should offer Li Zhiyan some kind of benefit? If she could win him over, he might willingly help her. Only then could she reclaim her dignity in front of Catherine. In that moment, Evelyn completely forgot about the errands her best friend Jin Muxue had asked her to handle. For both Catherine and Evelyn, their lifelong goal seemed to be outshining the other—neither could stand to lose! Riding his bike on the way to Sister Rong’s Restaurant, Li Zhiyan felt quite content. Glancing at his 930,000-yuan savings, he also checked on the system-generated donation: the Yiyan Hope Elementary School had already been completed in the remote mountains. Considering it was handled by the system, Li Zhiyan found it perfectly normal that the construction had been unusually fast. "Now this is something meaningful," he thought. "That, and the elderly and children left behind in villages who are also automatically supported by the system." Warmth filled Li Zhiyan’s heart. Just before reaching Sister Rong’s Restaurant, Li Zhiyan received a call from an unfamiliar number, which puzzled him slightly. It wasn’t a virtual number but a local Shanghai number, so it was unlikely to be a spam call. After pressing the answer button, he heard Evelyn’s voice. When it came to this mixed-race mature woman who was Catherine’s lifelong rival, Li Zhiyan couldn’t help but feel a tiny spark of heat rise within him. After all, she had an incredibly sexy E+ figure, a stunning mixed-race face, and her stocking-clad legs could easily hold their own against Catherine’s long legs.
