Chapter 282 My World Isn't Just About You
"Chen Zhi!!!!"
Pei Ningxue's hoarse, piercing scream came from above.
Below was a soft lawn, but Chen Zhi slammed into it hard. The excruciating pain instantly spread from his legs to his entire body, as if his internal organs were being torn apart.
Before Chen Zhi closed his eyes, only one thought flashed through his mind.
This little shrew is quite hard to appease.
He then completely lost consciousness.
Chen Zhi jumped off the building for love, closing his eyes and not caring about anything anymore.
For Teacher Zhang in the Academic Affairs Office, the world had completely collapsed.
"Chen Zhi!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Teacher Zhang was lying on the third-floor windowsill, screaming even more pitifully than Pei Ningxue.
The founder of a key startup project supported by Peking University, a tech tycoon worth billions, jumped off a building in his office right in front of him!
If this gets out, he won't be able to keep his job as a teacher in the academic affairs office anymore; he'll just have to pack his bags and leave.
Inside the ambulance, sirens wailed.
Chen Zhi opened his eyes groggily, his vision blurred, and his whole body ached as if it were about to fall apart.
He struggled to raise his hand and grabbed the sleeve of the person next to him.
"Where...where is Teacher Zhang?"
Teacher Zhang was right next to him, sweating profusely and pale-faced. He quickly came over and took Chen Zhi's hand.
"I'm here! I'm here! Chen Zhi, don't scare me, tell me what's on your mind!"
Teacher Zhang was almost in tears; she looked like she was about to give her last words.
Chen Zhi took a breath and didn't respond.
"Where is Pei... Pei Ningxue?"
"She's gone to get a specialist doctor!" Teacher Zhang exclaimed anxiously, slapping her thigh. "What exactly do you want to explain? Is it about the company or about family matters?"
Hearing that Pei Ningxue was not beside him, Chen Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.
He beckoned with his finger, signaling Teacher Zhang to come closer.
Teacher Zhang quickly put his ear to Chen Zhi's mouth, afraid of missing the dying words of this billionaire CEO.
Chen Zhi lowered his voice and squeezed out a sentence with all his might.
"Don't...don't tell anyone about this."
After saying that, his neck tilted to the side, and he completely fainted.
Teacher Zhang stood frozen in place, listening intently.
A full five seconds passed.
Teacher Zhang's face contorted with grief, her lips trembled for a long time, and she hesitated before stopping.
"You mother..."
When Chen Zhi woke up again, it was already evening.
The ward was quiet, with only the sound of medical equipment running.
He tried to move, but his left leg felt heavy, covered in a thick cast and suspended high in the air. His upper body was also wrapped in bandages, and his ribs ached slightly with every breath.
He didn't die, but at a great cost.
Chen Zhi turned his head away.
Pei Ningxue was asleep, leaning against the edge of the bed.
She was still wearing the same white shirt she wore during the day, her hair was a little messy and tucked under her arms.
Chen Zhi didn't say anything, just looked at her.
A few minutes later, Pei Ningxue seemed to sense the movement, her shoulder twitched, and she slowly raised her head.
Their eyes met.
Pei Ningxue's eyes were terribly swollen and red, with bloodshot eyes and tear stains on her face.
That bastard Chen Zhi made this proud girl cry twice in one day.
Upon seeing Chen Zhi wake up, Pei Ningxue was stunned for a second, then suddenly sat up straight and grabbed a tissue to wipe her face haphazardly.
She turned her face away from Chen Zhi, her voice a little hoarse, but her tone was deliberately cold and hard.
"Don't misunderstand, I'm staying here just because I'm afraid people will misunderstand and think I'm the one who caused you to end up like this."
Chen Zhi didn't expose her.
He slowly extended his right hand, which wasn't receiving an IV drip, to grab Pei Ningxue's hand, which was placed by the bedside.
Pei Ningxue instinctively shrank back.
"Don't touch me."
Chen Zhi took a deep breath.
"Ouch—it hurts."
His brows immediately furrowed.
Pei Ningxue's hand froze in mid-air, too afraid to move.
She bit her lip, staring intently at the bandages on Chen Zhi's body, her eyes reddening again.
Chen Zhi seized the opportunity, grabbed her wrist, pulled her close, and pressed her against his chest.
I could feel the heartbeat through the hospital gown and bandages.
"I love you." Chen Zhi looked at her. "Do you want me to prove it again?"
Pei Ningxue's defenses completely collapsed.
Tears fell without warning, landing on the back of Chen Zhi's hand, scalding hot.
"Chen Zhi, why do you always bully me?"
She cried so hard her whole body was trembling, her voice full of grievance.
"What makes you so sure I'll soften? What makes you think you can force me with your own life?"
Chen Zhi gripped her hand tightly, offering no further explanation, only repeating the same sentence.
"I love you."
Pei Ningxue raised her head, staring at him with red eyes.
"Okay," she gritted her teeth. "I can marry you right now. You marry me immediately, and we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our marriage certificate tomorrow. Are you sure you dare?"
Chen Zhi remained silent for two seconds.
He cannot get a marriage certificate.
Lin Wanwan is still waiting for him in Jiangcheng, and Li Zhiyi is still waiting for him at Renmin University.
If we agree now, all the previous balances will completely collapse.
"Not now." Chen Zhi looked at her calmly. "Give me a little more time, and it will definitely be possible."
Pei Ningxue laughed, and tears streamed down her face again.
"Why should I?" She tried to pull her hand back. "You won't even give me a title now, why should I wait for you?"
Chen Zhi held her hand tightly and wouldn't let go.
"Because I love you, and you love me too."
Pei Ningxue struggled a couple of times, but dared not use too much force, so she simply gave up.
"I'm leaving, Chen Zhi." She turned her face away. "My life isn't just about you; I have my own path to walk."
Chen Zhi stared at her profile and suddenly smiled.
"I won't let you go."
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an almost shameless stubbornness.
"Wherever you go, I'll follow."
"If you go to England, I will move the headquarters of Deep Space Technology to London."
"If you strike up a conversation with a guy, I'll just stand there and tell him you're my fiancée."
"I'll make sure you never make any friends for the rest of your life, and you'll only have me by your side."
Pei Ningxue turned her head and looked at the bandaged man on the hospital bed in disbelief.
"You're crazy."
"Yes, that's me." Chen Zhi admitted frankly, "I know I've wronged you. I'll agree to anything you want, except leaving me."
The ward fell into complete silence.
All that could be heard was Pei Ningxue's slightly rapid breathing.
Looking at Chen Zhi's irritating yet earnest face, she finally gave in.
She knew Chen Zhi too well; this man was a man of his word. If she really went abroad, he was absolutely capable of moving the company there and blocking her door every day.
Pei Ningxue let out a long sigh.
She looked at Chen Zhi and stated her conditions.
"If you can bring Deep Space Technology to a market value of 100 billion US dollars this year, I will agree to your request."
Chen Zhi was stunned for a moment.
Deep Space Technology is currently valued at US$15 billion.
It nearly sevenfold in one year, reaching hundreds of billions of US dollars.
Looking at the global tech industry, even the giants in Silicon Valley could not have achieved such a leap in a year.
This is a task that is simply impossible to complete.
Pei Ningxue's offer of this condition was both a way to save face for herself and a way to make things difficult for him, hoping he would back down.
But she miscalculated one thing.
Chen Zhi is a reborn person.
He had the future development trajectory and key trends of the entire technology industry in his mind for the next decade or so.
A hundred billion US dollars is very difficult.
Even if he were reborn, it would be very difficult.
But it's not impossible.
"Okay, I promise you." Chen Zhi nodded without hesitation.
Pei Ningxue glanced at him but didn't say anything.
"However," Chen Zhi added, "you can't run away during this time. You have to stay at Peking University at the very least. If you run away, this bet is null and void, and I'll just kidnap you and take you back to be my wife."
Pei Ningxue withdrew her hand and took two tissues to wipe away her tears.
"I'm not leaving."
She pulled up a chair and sat down again, resuming her aloof demeanor.
"I'd like to see how you manage to achieve a market capitalization of 100 billion in just one year."
Chen Zhi smiled.
As long as she doesn't leave, everything will be fine.
