After her identity was stolen, she lived in the short-lived villain's phone.

Chapter 393: Two chapters combined (I'm so sorry I didn't write this out)
Completely unaware of what her second brother had been up to behind the scenes, Chi Yu sent Shen Yanzhi a message saying she had arrived after getting off the bus.

A short while later, she received a voice call from Shen Yanzhi.

The call connected, and Shen Yanzhi's deep, clear voice came through the phone: "Chi Yu, I'm almost there, where are you?"

Chi Yu stopped in the crowd, her figure straight and slender like a lush scallion, her voice clear and crisp: "I'm outside the shopping plaza. Which direction did you come from?"

Hearing the laughter in her voice, Shen Yanzhi's grip on the steering wheel tightened almost imperceptibly. His fair and slender fingers, protruding from the force, with long, elegant knuckles, looked quite beautiful against the black steering wheel, but no one was there to appreciate it at the moment.

"I just passed through Guolan Park, and I'll be there in about five minutes."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yu immediately walked across the street: "Then I'll wait for you across from the shopping plaza. Once you arrive, pick me up and we'll leave. All the parking spaces here are full, so it's inconvenient to park."

Shen Yanzhi responded, "Okay."

Chi Yu walked to the other side of the road, and a few minutes later, a black Cayenne slowly appeared from the intersection ahead and drove slowly toward her.

As Shen Yanzhi, sitting in the driver's seat, crossed the intersection, he immediately spotted Chi Yu waiting for him not far ahead.

Today, Chi Yu wore a velvet satin long dress with a black coat, exuding understated luxury and elegance. Her already clear complexion looked as beautiful and dazzling as fresh snow in spring, and her slender and straight figure resembled lush and tender bamboo shoots. She radiated a clean and neat youthful aura.

Upon seeing Shen Yanzhi's black Cayenne, Chi Yu subconsciously smiled.

Chi Yu has very standard peach blossom eyes. When her bright eyes smile, the corners of her eyes are slightly upturned, as if they are holding a pool of clear spring water.

Shen Yanzhi could see her expression clearly through the glass, and felt extremely depressed.

With surveillance cameras everywhere on the city streets, knowing that Shen Yanzhi couldn't park for long, Chi Yu quickly opened the car door and got in.

Last night, Beijing experienced a continuous drizzle. With the arrival of early winter, temperatures plummeted due to the cold wave.

When Chi Yu was standing by the roadside, she was lashed by the icy chill in the air. Now, as soon as she got into the car, the car's heating instantly rushed up from all directions, enveloping her completely.

As the chill dissipated, Chi Yu instantly felt warm.

Chi Yu happily fastened his seatbelt.

As soon as she opened the car door, a blast of cold air rushed in. Shen Yanzhi reached out and turned the heater to its highest setting: "If you're cold, put your hands in the ventilated area to warm them up."

"Okay." Chi Yu placed her hand on it, and the warm air blew directly on her fingers.

The two hadn't seen each other for ten days, but because of their previous physical contact and the little secret they shared, they had become familiar with each other again.

Chi Yu casually asked, "What have you been busy with lately?"

Shen Yanzhi stared at the road ahead, his voice calm and unhurried: "Recently, many old clients have come to visit, so I've had more social engagements. I've also managed to secure some new investments."

Chi Yu was puzzled: "A regular customer?"

"They used to work for the Shen Group. Recently, the Shen Group's business hasn't been doing well, and some clients have contacted me wanting to continue working with me."

Saying that Shen's business is not doing well is just Shen Yanzhi trying to save face for Shen's company.

Although the Shen family scandal may have passed, the business crisis it faces has only just begun.

Shen Yanzhi managed the Shen family business for four years. Many of the clients only started cooperating with the Shen family after Shen Yanzhi took power. Shen Yanzhi did not disappoint everyone's trust, and the extremely high profit returns enabled everyone to achieve a win-win situation.

But no sooner had Shen Yan left than the Shen family stirred up such a huge mess.

This not only caused a crisis of trust in Shen Yanzhi among netizens and consumers, but also made these partners and customers discover the irresponsible side of the Shen family.

As a result, many clients and partners withdrew their investments from Shen's or terminated their partnerships during this period, and turned to Shen Yanzhi instead.

"They actually contacted you on their own initiative?" Chi Yu's eyes widened in surprise as she turned to look at Shen Yanzhi.

Noticing that her entire mind and attention seemed to be focused on him, Shen Yanzhi nodded reservedly, "Mm."

Chi Yu imagined Shen's expression after she found out about this, and couldn't help but chuckle. She looked away and nestled into the passenger seat: "You're really something."

Businessmen pursue profit.

Even if the Shen family is in decline, it is still a giant.

However, these people followed in Shen Yanzhi's footsteps and directly abandoned the Shen family in favor of Shen Yanzhi.

It's easy to imagine how much commercial value Shen Yanzhi possesses.

Chi Yu suddenly had an idea: "President Shen, how about we cooperate? I'll provide the investment, you make the profits, and then we'll split the profits."

Chi Yu thought about it more and more and it seemed feasible.

Now that the exam is over, she has some free time.

Since she had already signed a work agreement with Shen Yanzhi, it wouldn't be unreasonable for her to add the identity of an investor to her list of responsibilities, would it?
Thinking about it this way, even the fighting spirit to work like a beast of burden seems to be stirred up.

Chi Yu smiled, her bright eyes and white teeth curving into a gentle smile.

Shen Yanzhi keenly noticed her cheerful expression, which suggested she was in a good mood. Lost in his own thoughts, he didn't answer her question but instead asked, "Was lunch good today?"

The topic is jumping around way too fast.

However, Chi Yu didn't mind Shen Yanzhi's avoidance of the question. Even brothers have to keep clear accounts, let alone business investments between friends, which should indeed be carefully considered.

She recalled the meal she had for lunch that day and nodded truthfully, "It was delicious."

Whether it's the taste buds or the visual experience, it's a top-notch enjoyment.

wrong.

Chi Yu quickly realized what was happening and looked at Shen Yanzhi: "Do you know where I ate lunch?"

Shen Yanzhi pursed his lips, his dark eyes deep and unfocused.

He parked the car in the parking space before answering Chi Yu's question: "I just saw it on Su Muyang's WeChat Moments."

To be honest, Shen Yanzhi didn't want to believe that Chi Yu had found a boyfriend so quickly.

Just a while ago, he and Chi Yu were still in love.

Even if it was just a misunderstanding, Chi Yu still kissed, touched, and hugged him.

Given her current precarious health and her dependence on him.

How could she find someone else to be her boyfriend...?

Shen Yanzhi's thin lips were tightly pressed together, like a stubborn little seashell. Even though his soft heart was experiencing the torment and pain of being brutally ground by sharp sand, his surface remained as steady as a rock and everything was as usual.

The only hint of emotion he revealed was that after he finished speaking, his deep black eyes were fixed on Chi Yu, unwilling to miss any subtle expression on her face.

Chi Yu had no idea that Su Muyang had posted on his WeChat Moments.

She hasn't looked at her phone much since she finished eating, let alone her WeChat Moments.

However, upon hearing that Su Muyang had posted on his WeChat Moments, Chi Yu immediately understood. Su Muyang had indeed mentioned that he was going to take photos and post them on his WeChat Moments.

They also took photos of her and Tao Song.

Could it be that Shen Yanzhi saw a photo of her with Su Muyang and the others?

No wonder Shen Yanzhi asked her if it tasted good.

Chi Yu laughed and said, "You caught me. I'll treat you to a meal next time."

Shen Yanzhi rarely cared about such matters; perhaps he was also tempted by the photos taken by Su Muyang.

She had just asked Su Muyang in the car that lunch today cost 20,000 yuan per person. Although Chi Yu felt a little pained, she felt that she could accept it if she experienced it once in a while.

Shen Yanzhi completely missed the second half of Chi Yu's sentence.

Upon seeing the happy expression on Chi Yu's face and hearing the first half of her sentence, the small knife that had been hovering above Shen Yanzhi's head finally came crashing down, instantly piercing him with countless holes.

The man, who was usually calm and composed and could remain unfazed even in the face of a business crisis as heavy as Mount Tai, trembled and almost couldn't help but tear up after hearing Chi Yu's short words.

Chi Yu's honesty made him realize once again what he had missed. Generally speaking, when people experience strong emotional ups and downs, they tend to express it outwardly, which is a self-protective mechanism of the body to eliminate excess emotions. Shen Yanzhi, however, habitually suppressed his emotions fiercely, then tightly covered them up, not revealing the slightest bit.

“I can treat you too,” Shen Yanzhi replied, his hand unconsciously gripping the hem of his shirt as he lowered his grip from the steering wheel, his knuckles turning white from the force.

His emotions were reserved and silent, and Chi Yu was completely unaware of them.

"You've helped me so much, don't try to take my place treating you," Chi Yu said with a smile.

Seeing the radiant happiness on her face, Shen Yanzhi felt as if a sharp blade had been plunged into his heart once again.

This time, Shen Yanzhi did not refuse, but reminded Chi Yu, "We've arrived at the office."

"Oh, oh, oh." Chi Yu nodded.

The place Shen Yanzhi brought Chi Yu to was the location of the most concentrated commercial office buildings in the center of Beijing.

Although it can't compare to the grandeur of the Shen family mansion, it's still incredibly valuable, with monthly rent alone amounting to a sum that an ordinary person could hardly accumulate even if they didn't eat or drink for a whole year.

Shen Yanzhi led Chi Yu upstairs in the elevator.

Chi Yu suddenly remembered the company Shen Yanzhi started during his university years and asked, "Is the company you founded before also here?"

“Yes,” Shen Yanzhi explained to Chi Yu, “It’s in another office building. The other building is already fully leased, so we can only rent this one now.”

Chi Yu nodded.

They arrived at the 16th floor and the two stepped out of the elevator one after the other.

The office building is very spacious, like an ant kingdom, with every floor and even every corner being fully utilized through clever design.

This new office is where Shen Yanzhi recently registered his new company.

Under the bright lights, the heels made a slight sound as they stepped on the polished tile floor, and employees from other companies occasionally walked past them.

Shen Yanzhi explained to Chi Yu in a low voice the reasons and ideas behind his establishment of this new company.

As Chi Yu listened, she nodded in response to Shen Yanzhi from time to time, her gaze unconsciously sweeping around as she curiously examined the interior of the office building.

Two young men in work uniforms walked towards them carrying a stack of documents. Shen Yanzhi and Chi Yu hadn't paid them any attention.

However, just as the second person was about to pass by Chi Yu, he suddenly slipped, his body tilted uncontrollably, and he bumped into Chi Yu next to him, scattering the documents in his hands all over the ground.

"what!"

"what!"

The two of them simultaneously cried out in fright.

The accident happened in a very short moment.

Chi Yu lost her balance after being hit, and just as she was about to fall, Shen Yanzhi reacted quickly and caught her.

"Are you alright? Did you bump into anything?" Shen Yanzhi protected Chi Yu, staring at her anxiously.

"sorry Sorry!"

The boy who fell to the ground realized he had caused trouble, immediately got up, and hurriedly bowed to Chi Yu to apologize.

"Luckily you caught me, I'm fine." Chi Yu glanced behind her; if Shen Yanzhi hadn't grabbed her, she probably would have fallen to the ground.

Seeing this, Shen Yanzhi released Chi Yu.

Looking at the boy with a youthful, fearful expression, Chi Yu waved to him to indicate that she was fine.

"I'm so sorry." The boy apologized to Chi Yu again, then squatted down to pick up the documents that had been scattered all over the floor.

Seeing this, Chi Yu also squatted down to help him pick it up.

Shen Yanzhi also squatted down to help.

After collecting the documents, the three of them also discovered the culprit that caused the boy to slip: a small puddle of water that had appeared on the tile at some unknown time.

It was a small puddle, but the boy just happened to step on it.

After parting ways with the boy, she walked a few steps before arriving at the area rented by Shen Yanzhi.

The area, spanning over one hundred square meters, is meticulously planned and organized.

I don’t know if it’s because Shen Yanzhi just registered, but the office was fully equipped with computers and other equipment, and the place was spotless, but the huge office area was completely empty.

Shen Yanzhi led Chi Yu directly to the innermost office.

As soon as the door closed, his gaze immediately fell on Chi Yu's arm: "Where did you bump into?"

Hearing Shen Yanzhi's words, Chi Yu was slightly surprised, "...How did you know?"

“I noticed you were picking things up a bit awkwardly, using only one hand,” Shen Yanzhi said, frowning.

Chi Yu truly admired Shen Yanzhi's observational skills. She stretched out her right arm and said, "Actually, it's nothing. When he fell just now, he bumped into my arm, and it hurts a little. It will be fine in a few days."

Chi Yu didn't take this minor bump to heart at all.

Shen Yanzhi was still worried, so he turned on the air conditioner in his office, had Chi Yu sit on the sofa and take off her coat so he could check her out.

Chi Yu felt that Shen Yanzhi was making a mountain out of a molehill, but when she met his concerned gaze, Chi Yu took off her coat, sat on the sofa, and stretched out her arm for Shen Yanzhi to examine.

When she rolled up her sleeves, Chi Yu glanced at herself and saw that there wasn't a single mark on her fair arm.

She was wearing a dress and a coat today. Luckily, the clothes cushioned her bruises; otherwise, her skin might already be bruised.

Shen Yanzhi stood in front of Chi Yu, his warm fingers covering Chi Yu's arm, and asked in a low voice, "Where does it hurt?"

“This one.” Chi Yu pointed with her other finger.

Shen Yanzhi's long, slender, and fair hand landed on her arm, examining it carefully. Judging from his professional movements and serious expression, he truly had the air of a doctor.

Chi Yu asked curiously, "Have you studied medicine?"

"I've learned it briefly." After confirming that there was nothing wrong with Chi Yu's arm, Shen Yanzhi put her hand down.

Seeing this, Chi Yu asked, "Are you alright?"

Shen Yanzhi: "Hmm."

Chi Yu smiled and lowered her head to pull down her sleeves that were rolled up high.

She was wearing a long velvet satin dress today, with lantern sleeves. The cuffs were a bit tight after being pushed up to her arms. Chi Yu tried to pull them off twice but failed, and then tried even harder the third time.

However, what she didn't expect was that the dress was not only comfortable to wear, but also slippery when sitting on a leather sofa!

Chi Yu was only sitting on the edge of the sofa. With her uneven tug, not only did her sleeve not come off, but her buttocks slid down and her body tilted to one side.

"what?!"

Chi Yu was shocked.

He reached out with both hands to grab at the side, but missed.

Shen Yanzhi noticed the cold, hard tile floor and quickly reached out to pull Chi Yu towards himself.

In Shen Yanzhi's original plan, he just didn't want Chi Yu to fall onto the cold, hard floor tiles. However, he overlooked his own strength and the inertial impact of Chi Yu's body.

Chi Yu felt Shen Yanzhi pull her forcefully, and then she uncontrollably lunged towards him.

Shen Yanzhi felt a weight in his arms, then a pain in his back, followed by a soft touch on his lips.

Chi Yu watched helplessly as the section displaying her life balance suddenly appeared, her life points increasing by two days!
