The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

"You beast!!!!"

Guo Yang pounced on Chen Zhi, grabbing his neck tightly with both hands and shaking him violently.

"Are you even human?! You're supposed to be the pure and innocent campus belle of Renmin University?! And the aloof, rich, and beautiful Guanghua School of Management?! You've got two of those qualities! Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?!"

Li Zicong slammed his fist on the table in anguish, causing the water glass on it to shake violently.

"Old Chen, this isn't just moral depravity, it's a distortion of your humanity! Aren't you afraid they'll find out and tear you to pieces?"

Zhang Tianyang silently opened the drawer and handed over a paper cutter.

"Brother Chen, why don't you just end it yourself and leave a way out for the rest of us men?"

Chen Zhi felt dizzy from being shaken, slapped Guo Yang's hand away, and straightened his collar.

"Basic stuff, don't be silly." Chen Zhi leaned back in his chair with an air of nonchalance. "This is all about personal charisma; you can't learn it."

"Bullshit!" Li Zicong's brain raced, and he slapped his thigh. "Damn, I get it!"

Guo Yang and Zhang Tianyang both turned to look at him.

Li Zicong pointed at Chen Zhi, striking a confident pose like a famous detective.

"That Rolls-Royce with the Beijing license plate belongs to Pei Ningxue, right? You must have been kept by Pei Ningxue because of your pretty boy looks, and then used the pocket money she gave you to support that campus belle at Renmin University! Old Chen, you're a real freeloader!"

Guo Yang gasped and gave a thumbs up.

"What a fucking bastard! He's practically the granddaddy of scumbags!"

Chen Zhi rolled his eyes.

"Alright, alright, think what you want." Chen Zhi was too lazy to explain, so he took off his shoes, climbed onto the bed, and prepared to take a nap.

"Don't sleep! Share some of your experience!" Guo Yang wailed from below.

Chen Zhi pulled the bed curtains shut, completely shutting out the noise from the outside world.

……

I slept straight through until after 4 p.m.

Chen Zhi pulled out his phone from under his pillow; the screen showed a WeChat message from Li Zhiyi.

"Chen Zhi, Jiang Ke said she's free tonight. Where should we meet?"

Chen Zhi typed back: "Wait for me to send you the address."

He opened a review app, picked a high-end private restaurant near Wangfujing with an average price of over 2,000 yuan per person, and sent it the location directly.

Six p.m.

Chen Zhi arrived at the private room early and leaned back on the sofa in the main seat, drinking tea.

Ten minutes later, the door to the private room was pushed open.

The waiter led Li Zhiyi and Jiang Ke in.

Chen Zhi glanced over.

Jiang Ke completely changed her style today.

Gone is the sophisticated and mature style she had when we first met at the east gate of Renmin University. Today, she is wearing a loose gray sweatshirt, paired with straight-leg jeans and canvas shoes.

She wore only a very light layer of foundation on her face, and her hair was casually tied into a ponytail.

Today, I'm dressed like an ordinary female college student.

Chen Zhi held his teacup, a cold smile creeping across his face.

This woman is indeed clever; knowing she was here to ask for a favor, she deliberately dressed herself in a non-threatening manner.

"Hello, Mr. Chen." Jiang Ke walked to the table, greeted him somewhat awkwardly, and sat down with half of his buttocks touching the edge of the chair.

The atmosphere in the private room was extremely awkward for a moment.

Li Zhiyi sat between the two, unsure of how to begin.

Chen Zhi put down his teacup and broke the silence.

"What would you like to eat? You can order first."

Chen Zhi pushed the thick, gold-embossed menu in front of Jiang Ke.

Jiang Ke took the menu with both hands, turned to the first page, and paused noticeably.

Looking at the cold dishes that cost three or four hundred yuan each, and the signature dishes that cost four figures, she swallowed hard and quickly calculated the remaining balance in her bank account.

She flipped through a few pages and picked out three of the cheapest vegetarian dishes and a main course.

"I've ordered, Mr. Chen, Zhiyi, would you like to see if you want to add anything else?" Jiang Ke handed the menu to Li Zhiyi.

Chen Zhi didn't respond, but casually beckoned a waiter and ordered a few more signature dishes.

As the cold dishes were gradually served, Li Zhiyi finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Chen Zhi, how about it? Can Jiang Ke intern at your company?"

Chen Zhi leaned back in his chair, not answering Li Zhiyi directly, but turning to look at Jiang Ke.

"Compared to your abilities, I'm more curious about something," Chen Zhi said, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. "How did you know my identity? Even those financial media outlets couldn't uncover my background. You're a freshman, yet you're quite well-informed."

Jiang Ke put down her chopsticks, placed her hands on her knees, and sat up straight.

"Last time I was working part-time as an emcee, I happened to run into you guys chatting with investors at the hotel," Jiang Ke replied.

"I heard them call you President Chen and mention Deep Space Technology's financing, so I guessed who you are."

She paused for a moment and turned to look at Li Zhiyi.

"I just asked Zhiyi about it, and I didn't expect she didn't know either. I really didn't mean to, Mr. Chen, I swear I haven't told anyone about this."

Chen Zhi nodded, his face revealing neither joy nor anger.

"So, would you like to come to our company?" Chen Zhi asked, getting to the point.

Jiang Ke hesitated.

If she directly answers that she wants to go, combined with her previous behavior of playing the victim in front of Li Zhiyi, it will make her seem scheming and plotting to use her classmates' relationships to climb the social ladder.

But since we're already sitting here today, it would be too hypocritical to answer no; even she wouldn't believe it herself.

Jiang Ke gritted her teeth.

Thinking about her bloodsucking father, and the fact that she works three jobs a day and still can't even afford to eat, what is that ridiculous sense of self-esteem worth?

"I want to go." Jiang Ke raised her head and looked directly at Chen Zhi. "President Chen, if you can arrange a position for me as the president's assistant, I can work for free."

Li Zhiyi, who was listening nearby, was stunned.

President's Assistant?

Wouldn't that mean being with Chen Zhi every day, a privilege I don't even enjoy?

Jiang Ke continued, "I just want to enrich my resume and experience so that I can stand out from the competition in the future. I guarantee that I can handle all work arrangements, even if I am on call 24 hours a day."

The private room fell silent.

Chen Zhi looked at the ambitious girl in front of him and suddenly laughed.

He picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of beef, put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and swallowed it before speaking.

"Do you have the right to negotiate with me?"

Jiang Ke's face turned pale instantly. She lowered her head and gripped the hem of her hoodie tightly with both hands.

"I'm sorry," Jiang Ke said, her voice hoarse.

Seeing Jiang Ke's state, Li Zhiyi grew anxious.

She reached out and tugged at Chen Zhi's sleeve, wanting to say something on Jiang Ke's behalf.

"Chen Zhi, don't be like this, Jiang Ke actually..."

Chen Zhi turned his head and glared at Li Zhiyi.

"Just eat your food."

Li Zhiyi was stunned by his gaze, swallowed the words she was about to say, picked up her chopsticks with a wronged expression, poked at the rice in her bowl, and dared not utter another word.

At the subsequent dinners, Jiang Ke never spoke up again.

She mechanically ate the plate of vegetables in front of her, not even daring to lift her head.

When they had almost finished eating the dishes on the table, Jiang Ke suddenly stood up.

"Mr. Chen, Zhiyi, you two eat first, I'm going to the restroom."

Jiang Ke walked out of the private room and went straight to the front desk.

"Hello, could you please settle the bill for room number 8?" Jiang Ke took out her bank card from her pocket and handed it to the cashier.

The cashier operated the machine and printed out the bill.

"Hello ma'am, the total is six thousand three hundred and twenty yuan."

Jiang Ke's breath caught in her throat for a second when she heard the number.

This is equivalent to all the living expenses she earned from working herself to the bone for more than a month.

She gritted her teeth and entered the password.

The POS machine beeped twice.

The cashier handed the bank card back apologetically: "I'm sorry, ma'am, your bank card has insufficient funds."

Jiang Ke's face instantly turned bright red, and she wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

"Sorry, I... I'll go make a phone call."

Jiang Ke took her phone to a corner of the lobby, took a deep breath, and dialed a number.

The call ended in less than two minutes.

Jiang Ke's phone rang with a crisp notification sound.

"Alipay payment received: 6,331.23 yuan."

Jiang Ke took a deep breath, composed herself, walked back to the front desk, and scanned the code to pay.

Back in the private room.

Jiang Ke picked up the backpack draped over the back of the chair and bowed slightly to Chen Zhiwei, who was still serving food to Li Zhiyi.

"Mr. Chen, I've already settled the bill." Jiang Ke said calmly. "I have work to do tonight, so I won't bother you any longer. I'll head back now."

She didn't mention the internship again and turned to leave.

"Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, go to the 20th floor of the International Trade Center and report to the front desk of Deep Space Technology."

Chen Zhi's voice came from behind.

Jiang Ke suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She turned around and looked at Chen Zhi with disbelief.

"Mr. Chen..."

"Don't even think about the assistant position, that's President Pei's person." Chen Zhi wiped his mouth with a napkin. "Go work in the administration department for two months as a handyman. If you can survive that, then we'll talk about your resume."

Jiang Kexi was overjoyed, her eyes instantly reddened, and she bowed repeatedly.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Chen! Thank you so much, Mr. Chen! I will definitely not let you down!"

Li Zhiyi didn't come to her senses until Jiang Ke left the private room.

She looked at Chen Zhi with a face full of confusion.

"You clearly planned to let her go a long time ago, so why were you so fierce just now? You scared her." Li Zhiyi muttered softly.

Chen Zhi leaned back in his chair and turned to look at her.

"I've done you such a big favor, how are you going to thank me?"

Li Zhiyi was dumbfounded, pointing at her own nose.

"Huh? Weren't you helping Jiang Ke? Why do I need to thank you?"

Chen Zhi raised an eyebrow and nodded seriously.

"That makes sense." Chen Zhi stood up, making a move to leave. "Then I'll go after Jiang Ke and have her come thank me."

Even though Li Zhiyi is usually very well-behaved, she was unusually anxious at this moment.

She grabbed Chen Zhi's arm like a kitten guarding its food.

"You dare!"
