The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

The door to the private room was closed.

The footsteps gradually faded into the distance.

Chen Zhi let out a long breath, turned his head, and was about to cuddle with his "comrade-in-arms" who had just fought alongside him, seeking some comfort.

When Chen Zhi turned around, he was stunned.

Pei Ningxue, who had just been leaning against him with a weak and submissive demeanor, saying "I will marry no one but you" and "I am carrying your child," had now stood up straight.

She casually smoothed out the wrinkles on her skirt, and the delicate and affectionate look on her face vanished.

"Alright, stop playing dead." Pei Ningxue picked up her bag from the table. "You've finished your act, so you've passed this test."

Chen Zhi's eyes widened: "What do you mean the show's over? Didn't you just say..."

"What did you say?" Pei Ningxue rolled her eyes at him. "Say you'll only marry you? Or say you'll have your children? Mr. Chen, you're nineteen, I'm eighteen, neither of us are of legal marriage age. Are you really planning to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with me tomorrow?"

Chen Zhi was momentarily speechless: "Then what were you saying to my father-in-law just now...?"

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures." Pei Ningxue walked out in her high heels. "If I hadn't said that, my dad might have stuffed you into a sack and thrown you into the Huangpu River today. You should thank me for reacting quickly."

As she reached the door, Pei Ningxue stopped and glanced back at him.

"I'm going back to rest. You have the day off today, so don't bother me. Go somewhere cool and stay somewhere else."

After saying that, the door opened and closed, and the person was gone.

Chen Zhi sat in the chair, reflecting on everything that had just happened.

The more I thought about it, the more something seemed off.

Who is Pei Dongcheng? He's a ruthless and cunning old fox in the business world, a tycoon with a net worth of tens of billions.

I've already taken advantage of this old fox's advances, so why should he bother to patiently explain the facts and reason things out at the dinner table?

He went to great lengths to obtain those photos and sent the emails on a schedule, all to force himself to say, "I will only register my marriage with Pei Ningxue."

Think about how quickly Pei Ningxue changed her expression just now.

Use it and throw it away, so heartless!

Chen Zhi suddenly slapped his thigh.

Grass!

I've been tricked!

This father and daughter definitely conspired beforehand! One played the good cop and the other the bad cop; one was responsible for holding a knife to their necks, and the other was responsible for offering a way out, managing to trick them out of that most important promise!

Chen Zhi gasped, realizing what was happening belatedly.

I got screwed over.

After leaving the hotel, Chen Zhi took a stroll around the streets.

I don't know what to do next.

Back to Peking University? Li Zhiyi is probably in class right now.

Should I go to the hotel to find Lin Wanwan? I think I should pass. I just betrayed my girlfriend today, and I feel really bad about it.

Since he had nothing better to do, Chen Zhi decided to go and inspect the company.

Dai Da-mai and his group of hardworking programmers are still coding day and night. As their boss, I'll buy them some afternoon tea to comfort them and also check on how Jiang Ke, that "wolf cub," is doing in the administration department.

I took a taxi and headed straight to the IAPM Center.

As soon as Chen Zhi arrived at the office building, he realized something was wrong.

Outside the gate, a large crowd had gathered in three or four layers on the open ground.

Delivery drivers, cleaning ladies, and passing office workers all craned their necks to look inside.

Several property security guards stood by, sweating profusely, calling for backup with their walkie-talkies, but dared not go up and forcibly pull the person away.

There's some juicy gossip to come!

Relying on his youth and strength, Chen Zhi managed to squeeze from the back of the crowd to the front row.

In the very center of the crowd sat a middle-aged man in his fifties.

The man was wearing a faded old jacket and had messy hair.

He was sitting on the ground, slapping his thighs with both hands and howling at the top of his lungs.

"This is outrageous! They're bullying honest people!"

"Everyone, please be the judge! My daughter, whom I've worked so hard to raise as a college student, is being treated like a slave!"

The man shouted and wiped away tears, looking as miserable as could be.

Chen Zhi moved closer to an older woman carrying a shopping basket.

"Auntie, what's going on? Why is this uncle sitting on the ground crying?"

The older woman was listening intently when a young man chimed in, and she enthusiastically began explaining the science behind the words.

"What a tragedy! This guy says his daughter works upstairs and got ripped off by her unscrupulous boss!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhi felt a surge of righteousness.

The companies renting office space in this IAPM Centre are mostly internet upstarts or financial companies, so how could they be so blatantly exploiting their employees?

"Uncle!" Chen Zhi called out loudly, biting into an ice pop, "Don't just cry, tell me in detail how you tricked me!"

The man on the ground perked up as soon as he saw someone hand him a microphone.

He scrambled to his feet and pointed up at the top of the building.

"My daughter graduated from a prestigious university! A top student in law school!"

"Other interns get paid over ten thousand a month! But my daughter only gets three thousand!"

"That's not all! My daughter does all the dirty and tiring work! Serving tea and water, picking up takeout, and even sweeping the floor and cleaning the toilets!"

The man became more and more excited as he spoke, spitting everywhere.

"That boss is inhuman! His heart is rotten to the core! He's treating my daughter like a servant from the old society!"

The surrounding crowd immediately let out a murmur of surprise.

"That's outrageous! What can you do with three thousand yuan in Beijing? It's not even enough to rent a basement!"

"Exactly! Making top students clean toilets? Is this boss a psychopath?"

Chen Zhi shook his head, and even the popsicle in his hand didn't taste sweet anymore.

"They're utterly despicable!" Chen Zhiyi cursed indignantly. "What kind of garbage company is this? Isn't this pure exploitation of labor?"

He looked at the man on the ground with a face full of sympathy.

"Uncle, you're in the right! A top university student, and you're paying him three thousand yuan to do cleaning work? Even capitalists would be moved to tears! You're a real beast!"

The man slapped his thigh, as if he had found a kindred spirit, and grabbed Chen Zhi's arm.

"Young man, you're a sensible person! I'm here today to get an explanation! If you don't give my daughter a raise, and if you don't bring that heartless boss out here to kowtow and apologize, I'm sleeping right here at the gate!"

The older woman next to her was also furious.

"Exactly! It's so hard for young people to find jobs these days. We can't let these unscrupulous companies run rampant! Bro, which company does your daughter work for? Let's expose them! Let's get the media to expose them!"

"Yes! Expose him!" Chen Zhi chimed in, eager to stir up trouble. "Uncle, say it out loud, which company is it? We'll back you up!"

The man took a deep breath and pointed to the IWC building.

"Right up here! On the twentieth floor!"

"What's with the name 'Deep Space Technology'?!"

The surrounding air seemed to freeze in that instant.

The indignant woman was stunned.

The onlookers, who were prepared to join in the condemnation, also fell silent.

Deep Space Technology?

Twentieth floor?

A top student from a prestigious university's law school?

A monthly salary of three thousand, serving tea and water?

These keywords quickly arranged and combined in Chen Zhi's mind, eventually piecing together a familiar name—Jiang Ke.

Grass.

It's Jiang Ke's vampire father who's come knocking on our door!

Damn it, I've gotten myself into this mess.

What did I just curse at myself for?

It's all Jiang Ke's fault!

"Young man!" Old Deng grabbed Chen Zhi's arm as if it were a lifeline. "You were right! That Deep Space Technology boss is a beast! Help me call that hotline, let's expose this bastard together!"

Chen Zhigan coughed twice and subtly pulled his arm out of Lao Deng's grasp.

"Um... Uncle," Chen Zhi took a half step back, "I think we need to look at this rationally and not just believe one side of the story, right...?"

"What do you mean, just one side of the story!" Old Deng exclaimed, exasperated. "My daughter told me herself!"

Chen Zhi's eyelids twitched violently.

The people around had already started taking out their phones to record.

Just then, several people hurriedly walked out of the building's revolving door.

Walking at the very front was Jiang Ke, whose face was full of anxiety.

Two Deep Space Technology administrative staff members followed behind her.

Jiang Ke spotted her father, who was throwing a tantrum in the middle of the crowd, and her face turned deathly pale.

"Dad! What are you doing!"

Jiang Ke rushed over, grabbed the man's arm, and yelled in a low voice, "Are you crazy? Who told you to come here and cause trouble!"

When Old Deng saw his daughter come out, he not only didn't quiet down, but instead raised his voice even louder.

"Why can't I come! You brat, you've been bullied like this and you don't even dare to fart! I'm going to get an explanation from your boss today!"

"Shut up!" Jiang Ke was so anxious she was almost crying. She had finally managed to gain a foothold in the company today, and if the boss found out, she would definitely be fired.

She looked up, preparing to explain to the people around her, when her gaze suddenly fell on Chen Zhi, who was standing in the first row.

Jiang Ke's breathing stopped.

It’s over.

It's all over.
