The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.
Chapter 226 Is this what you meant by "getting things done"?
After finishing our meal, we left the Michelin-starred restaurant.
The river breeze on the Bund felt really nice on my face.
Pei Ningxue walked on the inside and naturally took Chen Zhi's arm. The two strolled along the riverbank like an ordinary college couple.
Pei Ningxue's mood was visibly joyful.
Chen Zhi had been dragged around for a long time by her, and his legs were already incredibly sore. Accompanying a woman shopping was already physically demanding, let alone spending the entire afternoon at Henglong Plaza.
"President Pei." Chen Zhi stopped and rubbed his sore calves. "Can we go back now? We're meeting with NIO's President Li tomorrow at noon, so we need to go back and recharge."
Pei Ningxue was in a great mood today. She turned to look at Chen Zhi's tired appearance and nodded, "Then let's go back first."
Chen Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly held out his hand: "Can I have my phone back now? My work is finished for today, and I need some personal space after get off work."
Pei Ningxue ignored his outstretched hand and walked straight ahead.
I'll return it to you when we get back to the hotel.
We arrived at our room at the Bulgari Hotel.
As soon as the door closed, Pei Ningxue took the black-screened phone out of her bag and tossed it onto the sofa.
"for you."
After saying that, she took off her trench coat, turned around, and went into the bathroom.
Chen Zhi grabbed the phone as if it were a treasure and pressed and held the power button to turn it on.
The moment the screen lit up, WeChat notification sounds started ringing incessantly.
"Ding ding ding ding—"
99+ unread messages.
Lin Wanwan is undoubtedly at the top of the list.
[Wanwan: Chen Zhi, are you done with get out of class?]
[Wanwan: Sister Su said she'll give me half a day off tomorrow. Can I come to school tonight to have a late-night snack with you? I miss you so much.]
[Wanwan: Where are you? Why aren't you replying to my messages?]
[Wanwan: Are you asleep?]
[Wanwan: I can't get through on the phone either, is it switched off?]
The last message was sent ten minutes ago.
[Wanwan: You stinky Chen Zhi! Pay attention to me! (Cat looking aggrieved.jpg)]
Chen Zhi stared at the screen, a chill running down his spine.
He quickly typed.
[Chen Zhi: Just saw the message! There was a sudden emergency at the company this afternoon, and I was busy all afternoon. My phone died today.]
The other party replied instantly.
[Wanwan: Really? You're not kidding me?]
[Chen Zhi: Why would I lie to you? I just got back to the dorm and plugged in my phone. Don't you have a schedule tomorrow? Get some rest and take care of your voice.]
[Wanwan: But I want to see you! I won the championship, and Sister Su has gotten me so many jobs. My schedule is packed, and I probably won't be able to see you for several days.]
Chen Zhi was secretly delighted. It was good that he couldn't see him; only by not seeing him could he stay in Shanghai and peacefully accompany Pei Ningxue.
[Chen Zhi: Your career comes first. You're a big star now. After this busy period, I'll treat you to a nice meal and reward you properly.]
[Wanwan: It's a deal! No backing out!]
Chen Zhi: Absolutely.
[Wanwan: Then give me a kiss, and I'll forgive you for ignoring me today.]
Chen Zhi sent a "kiss" emoji to the screen, followed by several long voice messages. Through a combination of coaxing and cajoling, he finally managed to calm this young lady down.
Chen Zhi put down his phone and let out a long sigh of relief.
After taking a shower, Pei Ningxue came out wearing the white bathrobe provided by the hotel. The belt was loosely tied around her waist, and the neckline was quite low, revealing a large area of fair skin and delicate collarbones.
Pei Ningxue sat down next to Chen Zhi.
The scent of the shower gel from his fresh shower wafted into Chen Zhi's nose.
Pei Ningxue stretched out a finger and drew a circle on Chen Zhi's chest, her tone languid and teasing.
"Mr. Chen, we've seen the night view of the Bund and had a good meal. With such a long night ahead, shouldn't we get down to business?"
Miss Pei, known for her high offense and low defense, has started her usual verbal sparring again.
Chen Zhi didn't even have the strength to lift his eyelids. He had exhausted his physical strength by shopping with his wife in the afternoon, and he had exhausted his mental energy by frantically pouring out his emotions in the bathroom just now.
All he wants to do right now is sleep.
Seeing that he ignored her, Pei Ningxue became bolder and simply leaned over, her warm breath brushing against Chen Zhi's neck, her hands also restlessly groping downwards.
"Stop messing around," Chen Zhi mumbled with his eyes closed.
"Who's messing with you?" Pei Ningxue bit her lip, continuing to push her luck.
Chen Zhi was getting a little annoyed by her, so he suddenly rolled over and waved his hand.
"Snapped!"
A crisp sound rang out clearly in the quiet room.
Chen Zhi slapped Pei Ningxue on the butt.
The guest room fell silent instantly.
Pei Ningxue froze on the spot, her expression changing from astonishment to shock, and finally a blush spreading all the way to her ears.
"You...you hit me?" Pei Ningxue stammered, covering her bottom.
Chen Zhi didn't even open his eyes before pulling the blanket over himself and wrapping himself up tightly.
"Go to sleep. You have to meet with clients tomorrow. If you keep making a fuss, I'll throw you out the window into the Huangpu River."
Pei Ningxue gritted her teeth and stared at Chen Zhi for a long time.
Normally, she would have caused a huge scene. But for some reason, today, after Chen Zhi scolded her like that, she felt a strange sense of obedience.
She rubbed the spot where she had been hit, let out a soft groan, obediently lifted the covers and lay down with her back to Chen Zhi. She quieted down in no time.
the next morning.
Chen Zhi got up very early.
Since I'm meeting with Mr. Li from NIO at noon—it's a multi-billion dollar pre-installation contract for autonomous driving—as the CEO of Deep Space Technology, I have to make a grand entrance.
He specially washed his hair, styled it, and then changed into the haute couture suit that Pei Ningxue had bought for him yesterday for over 100,000 yuan.
He looked in the mirror and saw that he had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and wore a sharp suit, looking quite presentable.
Chen Zhi nodded in satisfaction.
Not long after, the toilet door opened.
Pei Ningxue walked out yawning.
Chen Zhi turned his head and was stunned.
Pei Ningxue changed into a white sweatshirt with a Mickey Mouse pattern, paired with light blue straight-leg jeans and white sneakers.
Her hair was tied in a high ponytail, and she wore only light makeup.
She looks like a pure and innocent female college student who has just started her freshman year.
No, she looks like a freshman female college student.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds.
"Why are you dressed like this?" Pei Ningxue looked Chen Zhi up and down, her brows furrowing.
"Didn't you say you were meeting with NIO's CEO, Mr. Li, at noon?" Chen Zhi loosened his tie. "This outfit of mine was personally picked out by you yesterday. How do I look? Pretty handsome, right?"
Pei Ningxue rolled her eyes.
"Who told you you were meeting with General Manager Li at noon today?"
Chen Zhi was dumbfounded: "You said it yourself yesterday at Henglong Plaza! The dinner has been moved to noon today!"
"Oh, I misremembered." Pei Ningxue took a sip of water, her tone nonchalant. "Just now, President Li's assistant sent a message saying that there was an emergency board meeting, and the dinner has been postponed to tonight."
"Damn it!" Chen Zhi was speechless. "Why didn't you say so sooner?"
"It's not too late to say it now." Pei Ningxue put down her water glass, walked over and tugged at Chen Zhi's suit lapel. "Go take it off and change back into the casual clothes you wore yesterday."
Why?
"Because we have some errands to run during the day." Pei Ningxue looked at him matter-of-factly, "Dressed like that, people will think you're going to sell insurance."
Chen Zhi sighed and had no choice but to change his clothes.
When he came out dressed in loose casual clothes, Pei Ningxue was already waiting for him at the door with a backpack.
"Let's go, let's get down to business."
An hour later.
Chen Zhi pushed open the car door and got out. He looked up at the huge and dreamy fairytale castle in front of him, as well as the bustling crowd around him wearing all kinds of cartoon headbands.
He stood there, lost in deep thought.
The cheerful theme song of an amusement park played in his ears, and several little girls in princess dresses ran past him laughing.
Chen Zhi turned his head and looked at Pei Ningxue, who was standing next to him, enthusiastically taking pictures of the castle with her phone.
"President Pei," Chen Zhi took a deep breath, pointing to the huge Mickey Mouse statue not far away, "is this what you meant by... 'getting things done'?"
Pei Ningxue put away her phone, turned to look at him, and retorted matter-of-factly, "Yes, that's right. Is it wrong to investigate the visitor flow at Shanghai Disneyland for on-site research to help us develop an AI-powered amusement park scheduling system?"
What the hell is this amusement park AI scheduling system?
Chen Zhi didn't even have the energy to complain.
Pei Ningxue took a fluffy Mickey Mouse ear headband out of her bag, stood on tiptoe, and put it on Chen Zhi's head without saying a word.
"Wear it properly, and don't take it off. Your job today is to accompany me to all the rides and help me carry my bags and buy water." Pei Ningxue clapped her hands, looking at her masterpiece with satisfaction.
