The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

Chen Zhi leaned back on the sofa, looking at the tightly closed security door in the entryway, and then at the long black packaging box on the coffee table.

Chen Zhi grabbed a handful of hair in frustration.

What kind of mess is this tonight?

The phone vibrated, the screen lit up, casting a small halo of light into the dimly lit living room.

Chen Zhi glanced at it and saw that it was a voice call invitation from the WeChat group [404 Father and Son Group].

His mind was a complete mess, and he didn't want to answer the phone at all, but the group chat kept buzzing with invitations, as if they would keep calling if he didn't answer.

Chen Zhi sighed and slid the answer button.

Holy crap!!!

Chen Zhi quickly moved his phone away.

"Chen Zhi! You're the one who's nineteen years old tonight, the founder of Deep Space Technology with a net worth of 15 billion?!"

Guo Yang was clearly greatly provoked. "Damn it, do you know when I saw you walking out on crutches in the live stream today, I thought it was some unlucky guy who looked like you. But when you opened your mouth, you gave me a real shock!"

Chen Zhi had a headache.

"Are you trying to summon a spirit in the middle of the night?"

"Don't interrupt!" The screen shook, and Li Zicong and Zhang Tianyang's faces were squeezed into the frame.

Three people in the dormitory, all wearing shorts, were crammed in front of a phone screen, staring at Chen Zhi with wide eyes.

"Brother Zhi, I'm dumbfounded." Li Zicong swallowed hard. "You're worth 15 billion US dollars? You were always mooching cigarettes from my Hua Zi cigarettes in the dorm? Don't you have any conscience? Before, when you didn't come home at night, we thought you were being kept by some rich woman from Guanghua, turns out you're the biggest capitalist yourself!"

Zhang Tianyang spoke in a low, somber tone.

"Last month was your birthday, and the three of us chipped in to buy you a cheap little cake for 19.9 yuan outside the West Gate."

"You ate it with great relish, and even said it was the best cake you'd ever eaten in your life."

"Chen Zhi, your acting skills are so good, it's a waste not to win an Oscar." Zhang Tianyang sighed. "I thought I overpaid for that 19.9 yuan cake at the time. Looking back now, it was the most successful venture investment of my life."

Looking at the three lively characters on the screen, Chen Zhi's previously irritable mood eased a little.

"Let's keep things separate." Chen Zhi shifted into a more comfortable position and leaned back. "Money in the capital market is just numbers, but the deep bond between us, 404 and our father, is priceless."

"Screw you!"

Guo Yang launched into a tirade of curses, then his tone shifted dramatically, becoming obsequious.

"Godfather!"

Guo Yang rubbed his hands together and chuckled.

"Godfather, please save one of those 3999 phones for me! I spent ages trying to snag one in bed, but I didn't get a single one!"

Li Zicong shoved Guo Yang's face away.

"Go away, with your lousy hand speed, what are you going to do with grabbing a phone?" Li Zicong looked at Chen Zhi, "Brother Zhi, I want one too. I watched the launch event live today, Moss is amazing, my Apple suddenly doesn't seem so appealing anymore."

Chen Zhi couldn't help but laugh out loud at their pathetic state.

"Look at you guys, so pathetic." Chen Zhi snorted. "One for each of you. I'll have someone deliver them to you in a few days."

"Long live Godfather!"

Cheers erupted in the dormitory.

Guo Yang was still yelling that he wanted Chen Zhi to treat him to a big meal when he returned to school. Chen Zhi gave him a few perfunctory replies and hung up the phone.

After the call ended, the living room fell silent again.

The smile on Chen Zhi's face slowly faded.

He tossed his phone onto the sofa and stared blankly at the empty room.

The few minutes I spent joking around with my roommate briefly masked those messy things.

Now that things have quieted down, all those jumbled thoughts have come rushing back.

The success of the press conference was within his expectations.

Moss's disruptive approach, Meizu's strong hardware foundation, and the incredibly attractive price of 3999 yuan—this combination of strategies leaves no room for competition in the market.

Deep Space Technology's valuation is definitely going to see a surge.

The $100 billion annual betting agreement has had an extremely perfect start.

But emotional messes are a hundred times harder to handle than business battles.

Pei Ningxue ran away, returned her shares, moved out of the country, and threatened to go abroad. Although Chen Zhi used a self-inflicted injury to keep her at Peking University, the two are now at odds.

Lin Wanwan completely snapped today. The girl who had followed him around since childhood and whose heart and eyes were always with him looked at him with such a strange attitude for the first time.

Li Zhiyi is the most sensible, so sensible that it's heartbreaking. Even though she guessed everything, she still silently cleaned up the mess and even took the initiative to leave to give him space.

Chen Zhi reached out and pinched the space between his eyebrows.

Having been given a second chance at life, he can now wield immense influence in the capital market.

But when it comes to dealing with women, he doesn't seem to be much better than in his previous life.

Just as Chen Zhigang was about to close his eyes and rest for a while, his phone screen lit up again.

It was a short message.

The sender is a bank.

【尊敬的客户，您的尾号xxxx的信用卡副卡，于8月15日23:45分消费人民币285,000元。】

Chen Zhi was stunned.

He only has one supplementary card under his name.

The card was in Pei Ningxue's hand.

Since Jiang Cheng left without saying goodbye that night, Pei Ningxue has never used the card again, and even returned the options in Deep Space Technology, showing that she wants to completely sever ties with him.

It's the middle of the night now, and you went to SKP and spent 285,000?

SKP closes at 10 p.m., which clearly means the mall gave her special permission, or that they had the items delivered to her home for her to choose from.

Miss Pei has always had a grand entrance.

Chen Zhi stared at the text message and suddenly smiled.

This woman.

Ultimately, she's still a proud and arrogant person.

The fact that she swiped his card means she's still paying attention to him, and may even have watched the entire press conference tonight.

This expenditure was more like a form of venting, a disguised way of "checking up on someone."

The gloom in Chen Zhi's heart dissipated by more than half.

There's still hope as long as he's still willing to spend his money.

If she were truly heartbroken, she wouldn't even glance at this card.

Chen Zhi opened WeChat, found the profile picture that had been blocked, and tried sending a punctuation mark.

Red exclamation mark.

It's still on the blacklist.

Chen Zhi was not annoyed.

He tossed his phone onto the sofa, braced himself against the armrests, and slowly stood up.

The cast on my left leg is really heavy, making it a bit difficult to walk.

He limped to the entrance and took apart the carbon fiber cane that Lin Wanwan had bought.

It's very lightweight and has an excellent feel.

Chen Zhi supported himself with his cane under his arm and tried to take two steps.

He turned to look at the night view of Beijing outside the window.

The business battle has only just begun, and the fire in our backyard will have to be put out slowly.

It can't be rushed.

It can't be rushed.
