The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

Wanliu Academy.

Luxury homes offer exceptional privacy; once the heavy curtains are drawn, the house becomes completely isolated from the outside world.

When Chen Zhi was chased into the bathroom by Pei Ningxue, he was still thinking about how to deal with Li Zhiyi.

The warm water washing over my back eased the fatigue a little.

After taking a shower, Chen Zhi came out wearing a bathrobe.

Pei Ningxue was sitting on a bar stool in the living room, with several unsigned documents spread out in front of her.

"Is it clean?" She turned her head to the side, her eyes scanning Chen Zhi's body, finally stopping at his neckline.

He casually picked up a black pen from the table, pulled out a chair, and sat down next to her. "Whatever President Pei ordered me to sign? How could a worker dare disobey?"

"Get this signed first. Once the business is settled, we can settle your personal scores later." Pei Ningxue pushed the contract next to her to him.

"The money from Beijing Infrastructure Investment Co., Ltd. will all arrive by tomorrow afternoon. Deep Space Technology currently has over 4 billion US dollars sitting in its public account. As for those shell companies overseas, I have already started the compliance process through Goodnight Capital."

Chen Zhi quickly wrote his name on several electronic documents with his pen, nodding as he did so.

"David is handling things fairly efficiently over there. Taylor Swift's global endorsement contract has been signed, and Moss's overseas user growth is expected to double next week. Server expansion can't wait. We're not short of money right now; we must maintain server quality at all costs and ensure the expansion speed."

"Money is no object." Pei Ningxue stared at the tip of his pen, her tone calm. "To help Lin Wanwan win a championship, just the sponsorship fee for Hunan TV plus Taylor's appearance fee alone cost a total of 500 million RMB. Boss Chen, you really fought a brilliant battle. Now the whole internet is searching for who this mysterious capital tycoon is."

"People were already speculating about your identity yesterday. Almost everyone knows about you and Lin Wanwan in high school. I posted several messages about you last night."

Chen Zhi paused for a moment as he signed the document.

He turned his head and looked at Pei Ningxue's slightly tired profile.

"Thank you for your hard work," Chen Zhi said sincerely.

"Don't thank me, I'm doing this for the company. If news of the founder's chaotic private life were to surface now, it wouldn't be good for the Series B valuation."

Chen knew she was just being stubborn on the outside but soft on the inside.

If she really didn't care, she could have just spent the company's money to hire an outsourced PR team to slowly work things out. Why did she, a CFO, have to personally call and monitor the deletion of posts in the middle of the night?

Pei Ningxue stood up, walked around from behind the bar, and stood in front of Chen Zhi.

She reached out and grabbed Chen Zhi's wrist.

A red rope was tied there.

Pei Ningxue pinched the slipknot of the red rope with two fingers, pulled it up slightly, and made the rope taut.

"Did you get it from Changchun Temple?" she blurted out abruptly.

Chen Zhi remained expressionless. "Yes, I got it by banging my head on the bluestone slabs, begging for ages."

Pei Ningxue wasn't in a hurry; she even smiled slightly. "Lin Wanwan has the exact same one on her wrist."

The air suddenly became quiet.

"Last night during the live broadcast, she was holding that championship trophy." Pei Ningxue leaned down and whispered in Chen Zhi's ear, "I saw it clearly, very clearly."

"What, you kowtowed twice?"

The hairs on Chen Zhi's back stood up instantly.

"Oh, you mean that one?" Chen Zhi flipped his hand over naturally, showing his wrist. "They're not exactly the same, they're a pair. Mine is the main rope, and hers is the auxiliary rope."

Chen Zhi spouted nonsense: "The old Taoist priest at Changchun Temple said that this thing looks similar, but the weaving techniques and the yin-yang array points of the knotted rope are actually different..."

The story wasn't finished yet.

Pei Ningxue took out another red string from her pocket.

Slap it directly onto the bar counter.

It was on the evening of the second day of the Lunar New Year that Chen Zhi personally put that hairpin on her at the Wanda Reign Hotel.

"Come on, Mr. Chen, give me a lesson." Pei Ningxue pointed her index finger at the red string on the table, a half-smile on her face. "Explain yourself, is this also an accessory string? Mr. Chen, are you buying these red strings in bulk by the dozen?"

"Look at you, you're in such a hurry again." Chen Zhi not only didn't panic, but sighed instead.

"Who told you this is a pair? It's a three-piece set."

Pei Ningxue stopped moving.

"A three-piece set?"

"That's right." Chen Zhi pointed to the red rope on the table and began to explain in a serious tone, "What does the Taoist school of thought emphasize? It emphasizes that the Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things! It seeks the unity of Heaven, Earth, and Man!"

"Wanwan's wrist charm represents 'humanity,' meant to be in the public eye. The one on my wrist represents 'earth,' meant to be a stable foundation. And yours!"

"It represents 'Heaven'!" Chen Zhiyi grasped Pei Ningxue's hand, his tone sincere. "It means that no matter where we are, no matter how turbulent the business world is, we are a trinity. Heaven covers and earth supports, and you will always be at the top of this system."

Pei Ningxue was so angry she was speechless.

"Trinity? I think you just want to 'sleep together under one covers'?"

"Ningxue, this rope may look ordinary, but I really wanted to buy it." Chen Zhi took the opportunity to wrap his arm around her slender waist and stubbornly refused to let go.

"How much of your heart do you have?" Pei Ningxue stared at him.

"They're all here, feel them if you don't believe me."

Chen Zhi grabbed her hand and pressed it onto his left chest.

Pei Ningxue struggled a couple of times but couldn't break free, so she simply gave up and let him hold her in his arms.

"Don't give me that crap." Pei Ningxue buried her face in his firm chest, her voice muffled, and suddenly threw out a fatal question, "Does Li Zhiyi... have one too? Are you trying to make a Four Symbols Formation?"

"She studied law, she doesn't believe in this."

"That would be best."

Pei Ningxue didn't delve any further, nor did she want to. She had been up all morning, checking flights late at night and picking someone up at the airport in the morning; her emotional threshold had long been reached. She leaned against Chen Zhi for a while to calm down, then her tone suddenly turned businesslike.

"I'm going to Shanghai tomorrow afternoon to discuss pre-installation contracts for autonomous driving kits with people from NIO and Li Auto."

"So soon?" Chen Zhi was somewhat surprised.

"Can't we wait? The boss is busy dating in Changsha. If I, as his employee, don't work harder, the company might as well close down."

"I'll go with you," Chen Zhi blurted out.

Pei Ningxue was stunned for a moment.

When Chen Zhi suddenly offered to accompany her, the cold expression that had been taut all morning finally broke down, and the corners of her lips involuntarily twitched upwards.

But her tone remained arrogant, "Oh, so Boss Chen finally has the time and energy to spend with me, his tool?"

"What do you mean 'tool'? This is our Deep Space Technology Empress Dowager on an inspection tour, and Xiao Chen has to accompany her." Chen Zhi then cupped her face in his hands.

Pei Ningxue gave a soft snort and didn't dodge.

Chen Zhi lowered his head, about to lean over and finish what he hadn't done in the car.

The phone on the bar suddenly vibrated.

[Li Zhiyi: Have you gotten off the plane yet? I'll pick you up at the East Gate at 4 PM (cute cat peeking out.gif)]

Pei Ningxue slowly shifted her gaze from her phone screen to Chen Zhi.

"These are the key investors you mentioned you were going to meet at the school this afternoon...?"
