The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

Chen Zhi stared at Li Zhiyi's face.

"Yes, I asked for her myself." Li Zhiyi felt uneasy under his gaze and stammered, not even having the courage to look Chen Zhi directly in the eye.

Chen Zhiqi laughed.

"Li Zhiyi, you've really grown up." Chen Zhisong let go, her tone carrying a hint of disappointment. "You used all the money you'd saved up for half a year to buy me a phone during the Lunar New Year, but you wouldn't even let me pay for a cup of milk tea normally. You act like a doormat when you're in a relationship, and you don't dare ask me for anything."

Chen Zhi stretched out his finger and gently flicked Li Zhiyi's smooth forehead.

"So, the first time you've asked me for a favor today, it's for someone else?"

"Speak," Chen Zhi said, his tone becoming more forceful. "Did she bully you? Or did she use something to force you to come?"

Li Zhiyi covered her forehead, completely panicked.

She quickly reached out to grab Chen Zhi's sleeve, her eyes welling up with tears.

"No, no! No one bullied me, and no one forced me." Li Zhiyi shook her head repeatedly, afraid that Chen Zhi would misunderstand. "It really was my own choice to come and help her."

Chen Zhi remained unmoved.

Deep Space Technology's current valuation is being widely discussed in the industry, but Chen Zhi himself is very good at keeping his information confidential. Apart from a few core executives of the company, no one outside the industry can find out anything about him.

"Who told you that Deep Space Technology is my company?" Chen Zhi asked the most crucial question.

Li Zhiyi shrank back and answered softly, "She told me."

"Who?"

"It's our class monitor, Jiang Ke." Li Zhiyi added, afraid that Chen Zhi wouldn't remember, "You saw her before, at the east gate of our school."

Chen Zhi racked his brains and quickly retrieved this person from the corner of his memory.

The law school freshman girl wearing a khaki trench coat and delicate makeup.

Last time at the gate of Renmin University, Jiang Ke was accompanied by a guy wearing an expensive watch who was showing off and spouting class theories. Chen Zhi immediately called him a sycophant.

Chen Zhi immediately realized that Jiang was no ordinary person; he knew how to utilize the resources around him and how to assess the situation.

But he didn't expect the woman's reach to be so far.

How did she, a freshman, connect "Chen Zhi, a student at Peking University" with "the boss behind Deep Space Technology"?

Chen Zhi sneered.

This woman probably saw that Li Zhiyi was weak and easy to manipulate, so she deliberately played the victim in front of Li Zhiyi, using Li Zhiyi as a stepping stone to get closer to her.

"You yourself are unwilling to trouble me, so why are you so eager to help her?" Chen Zhi looked at Li Zhiyi, waiting for her explanation.

"She works very hard," Li Zhiyi quickly spoke up for Jiang Ke. "She works part-time off-campus every day after class to earn money, and she stays up late studying at night. She also actively ran for class officer and vice minister of the student council, just to enrich her resume and make herself more competitive after graduation."

Chen Zhi remained completely unmoved after hearing this.

As a capitalist with billions of dollars in financing, he has no shortage of stories about people's struggles and triumphs.

"So what?" Chen Zhi's tone was indifferent, revealing a cold indifference. "Those PhDs from Tsinghua and Peking Universities in our company's technical department all work overtime until two or three in the morning, losing clumps of hair. Are they worse than her? There are plenty of hardworking people. Deep Space Technology isn't a charity."

Li Zhiyi was taken aback by Chen Zhi's capitalist remarks.

"She's actually quite pitiful." Li Zhiyi's voice was even softer, filled with deep sympathy. "She earns all her living expenses herself. Her family doesn't give her any money at all; they even ask her for money."

"So what?" Chen Zhi remained indifferent. "Renmin University has a comprehensive student aid system. She should go to her counselor to apply for subsidies and grants for students in need, instead of having you come to me to pull strings."

Chen Zhi had no liking for women who might be trying to seduce his girlfriend.

Li Zhiyi got anxious and quickly said, "A few days ago, the college issued national scholarships. Her father heard about it from somewhere and came directly to the school to ask her for the money."

Chen Zhi raised an eyebrow.

"Jiang Ke refused, and her father beat her downstairs in the dormitory and hurled very nasty insults at her." A hint of pity flashed in Li Zhiyi's eyes. "In order to prevent her father from causing a scene at school, Jiang Ke had no choice but to give all of her scholarship money to him. Then she could barely afford to eat, so she went off-campus to take on two part-time jobs."

Chen Zhi fell silent.

This kind of mess left by a dysfunctional family is truly tragic.

Having lived two lives, he had seen far too many schemes. Jiang Ke's misery might be real, but Jiang Ke's purpose in showing these misfortunes to Li Zhiyi without reservation was definitely not pure.

However, seeing Li Zhiyi's pleading look, Chen Zhi felt too embarrassed to continue finding fault.

If you really make this silly girl cry, you'll end up having to rack your brains to coax her.

"Alright, alright, stop explaining for her." Chen Zhi pulled Li Zhiyi's hand over and forcibly held it in his palm.

Li Zhiyi raised her head and looked at him expectantly.

"Let's find some time tonight," Chen Zhi said slowly, "bring her out for dinner with me."

Li Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, then her face lit up with great surprise.

"Really? You said yes?" Li Zhiyi gripped Chen Zhi's hand tightly. "Thank you, Chen Zhi! I knew you were the best!"

Seeing the girl's happy smile, Chen Zhi sighed inwardly.

Silly girl, I'm here to check and clear out potential hazards for you.

Chen Zhi planned to meet Jiang Ke in person that evening. If this woman simply wanted a good job, Chen Zhi wouldn't mind arranging a menial, peripheral position for her at Deep Space Technology.

But if this woman is too scheming and wants to use Li Zhiyi to cause trouble, Chen Zhi has a hundred ways to make it impossible for her to survive in the capital.

"I'll decide on the location tonight, and I'll send you a WeChat message later." Chen Zhi stood up, put his coat back on, and said, "I'll take you back to school first."

……

After seeing Li Zhiyi off in a taxi back to Renmin University, Chen Zhi strolled back to Building 36 of Peking University's Yuanpei College.

As soon as Chen Zhi reached the door of dormitory 404, he heard a heated argument coming from inside.

"Holy crap, was that fairy downstairs really Old Chen's girlfriend? Is there no justice in this world?!" This was Guo Yang's voice filled with grief and indignation.

"Something's not right, absolutely not right." Li Zicong's voice carried the certainty of a master detective. "Do you guys remember, before school started, Old Chen didn't come home for several nights?"

Zhang Tianyang weakly interjected, "Brother Chen said he spent the whole night at an internet cafe playing games..."

"Bullshit! Have you ever seen anyone who stays up all night playing games and smells like expensive perfume?" Li Zicong slammed his hand on the table. "And have you forgotten? That rich woman who drives a Rolls-Royce Phantom with a Beijing license plate! That ice-cold beauty from Guanghua School of Management named Pei Ningxue!"

The dormitory was silent for two seconds.

Then a more intense outcry erupted.

"Damn it!" Guo Yang's voice cracked. "What about Pei Ningxue from Guanghua? Is that bastard Chen two-timing me?"

"Remove the word 'can't'." Li Zicong sneered, his tone full of heartache. "Dating two is one thing, but how come they're both so beautiful? One's a rich and beautiful girl from Guanghua School of Management, and the other's a pure and innocent campus belle from Renmin University. What does this bastard have that he's got the upper hand?"

"Damn it!" Zhang Tianyang wailed.

Chen Zhi, standing outside the door, touched his nose.

Miscalculated.

I was so focused on showing off and asserting my dominance in front of my roommate that I forgot Pei Ningxue had also revealed some clues before.

These single guys have such keen investigative abilities; they struggle to even find takeout normally, but when it comes to gossip, they're even more astute than the residents of Chaoyang District.

Chen Zhiqing cleared his throat and pushed open the dormitory door.

"What are you chatting about? It's so lively!" Chen Zhi swaggered in and casually pulled out his chair to sit down.

The three roommates in the dormitory all turned their heads at the same time.

Six pairs of eyes were fixed on Chen Zhi, as if they were looking at a heinous criminal.

Guo Yang was the first to rush up, placing his hands on Chen Zhi's desk and gritting his teeth as he asked, "Old Chen, confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely. Who exactly is that girl downstairs to you?"

"Girlfriend," Chen Zhi answered confidently, even taking a sip of water from the glass on the table.

"What about Pei Ningxue!" Li Zicong added sharply from the side, "Don't tell us that Pei Ningxue is just an ordinary classmate of yours."

Chen Zhi put down his water glass and sighed.

He felt it was time to give his naive roommates a little shock.

"Pei Ningxue is definitely not an ordinary classmate." Chen Zhi leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and slowly dropped a bombshell, "She's also my girlfriend."

The dormitory was deathly silent.

Guo Yang's mouth dropped open, Li Zicong's eyes widened, and Zhang Tianyang dropped the towel in his hand to the ground.

"You...you actually dare to admit it!" Guo Yang's finger trembled as he pointed at Chen Zhi. "Trying to have your cake and eat it too, aren't you afraid of capsizing and drowning?"

"So what?"

The three of them were speechless for a moment. After a minute, they looked at each other and then said in unison,

"You beast!!!!"
