Chapter 70 Meeting at the Bar
There are surveillance cameras everywhere in the bar.

Chi Yu was initially worried that the phone system would just leave her in the public restroom, but after looking around, she suddenly felt that the phone system was actually quite nice to her, leaving her in the emergency exit.

Chi Yu is currently in a stairwell.

She stared at the tightly closed security door in front of her, and without much hesitation, she opened the door and went inside.

The bar was noisy. Chi Yu covered her ears and rubbed them, then silently blended into the crowd.

Her presence was completely inconspicuous in the chaotic bar.

The vision I had as a human was completely different from the vision I had when Shen Yanzhi held it in his hands.

Chi Yu silently looked up and found the spot where Shen Yanzhi had just leaned against the railing.

The lingering warmth of the man's hand still seemed to be there, but Shen Yanzhi was nowhere to be seen on the second-floor railing.

Chi Yu withdrew his gaze and accurately located the direction where Chen Jiazhi was.

She touched her face, walked to the bar, looked at the young man wearing a hat, and asked if she could borrow one.

The young bartender had been working here for two months and this was the first time he'd encountered such a strange request. His gaze fell on Chi Yu's fair and pretty face, and he seemed to be imagining something. Looking at Chi Yu with pity, he pulled a black hat from under the bar: "This is my spare hat, if you don't mind."

"Thank you." Chi Yu politely accepted it, "I'll return it to you later."

Actually, she didn't want to shamelessly ask for a freebie; she was simply penniless and had no money to her name.

Chi Yu put the hat on her head and casually smoothed her curly hair that was draped over her shoulders with her fingers.

This was a temporary hairstyle she curled herself for a photoshoot when she went out to sea, and now it's perfect for partially covering her cheeks.

Seeing how polite the girl was, the bartender became even more convinced that his guess was correct. He casually pulled out an unopened mask and handed it to Chi Yu: "Here, this is for you." Once he's caught cheating, he should quickly forget about that jerk!

Although he has only been working here for two months, he has seen everything he should and shouldn't have seen.

Wildflowers always smell sweeter than garden flowers, and almost every few days a dramatic couple's scene unfolds in a bar.

The bartender was used to it.

The girl in front of me clearly had no experience in catching someone cheating, otherwise she wouldn't have come alone without any equipment.

After thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but say, "Be careful and stay safe."

Chi Yu took the mask, surprised that the young man in front of her was so kind. After hearing his words, Chi Yu stared at him in a daze.

clam?
The thought of beating up Chen Jiazhi had just formed in her mind when this guy found out?
Before Chi Yu could ask any further questions, several people walked over and asked the bartender to mix drinks for them.

With guests in sight, he immediately got busy.

Seeing this, Chi Yu quietly left the bar.

How could the other party possibly know her plans? Chi Yu felt that she must have misheard or misunderstood.

Looking at the mask in her hand, Chi Yu thought for a moment and then put it on.

Chi Yu originally just wanted to borrow a hat, but she never expected that this guy would be so kind as to offer a free gift, directly resolving her concerns about being exposed.

Many people in the bar were wearing hats and masks, and Chi Yu blended in perfectly. Without the hat and mask, Chi Yu might have hesitated and thought of a way to lure Chen Jiazhi out.

Now that she had a hat and a mask to conceal her identity, Chi Yu moved directly toward Chen Jiazhi.

Actually, if she could, Chi Yu would like to change her dress, but unfortunately she doesn't have the opportunity right now, so she'll leave it as it is for the time being.

However, she thought again that even if her identity was exposed, it would only be Chen Jiazhi who would be worried, not her, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

She simply couldn't explain why she was there.

Chi Yu felt that she was truly a good sister and that she was really good to Chen Jiazhi.

Chen Jiazhi was still thinking about her on Douyin yesterday and the day before, and today she took the initiative to surprise her by coming to her door.

……

Chen Jiazhi sat relaxed in the booth, completely unaware of the surprise that was about to unfold.

Today's gathering was originally arranged by Gu Mingyue because she didn't want Chen Jiazhi to stay at home all day feeling depressed and growing mushrooms. So the two sisters were going to have a good drink!
"Come on, Zhizhi, I'll drink this one, you can drink as you like!" Gu Mingyue raised her hand and touched Chen Jiazhi's glass with her own.

Chen Jiazhi's alcohol tolerance wasn't as high as Gu Mingyue's, but under Gu Mingyue's constant urging and bold drinking style, Chen Jiazhi also drank quite a bit.

"Mingyue, you're so kind! The thing I'm most grateful for these days is having made such a good friend as you..." Chen Jiazhi held her wine glass, her voice filled with emotion.

"We just clicked," Gu Mingyue said without a hint of resentment. "You helped me the first time you appeared. If you hadn't been honest enough to find the jewelry and return it to me immediately, I would have been in serious trouble. From that day on, I decided that you were my sister!"

“I was just lucky to run into him that day…” Chen Jiazhi’s eyes flickered slightly as she quickly changed the subject: “This morning, I had a meeting with my team to re-determine the future development path of live streaming. I hope tomorrow’s live stream will go smoothly.”

"Don't worry, I'll find someone to support you and keep things in order!" Gu Mingyue immediately said.

Then, Gu Mingyue frowned again: "Is it still the same team as before? Why don't you just replace them? If it weren't for the bad ideas they gave you before, you wouldn't have been criticized so harshly by netizens."

According to Chen Jiazhi, her decision to cultivate a "scholar" persona online was entirely at the suggestion of other members of her studio. As a complete novice with no prior livestreaming experience, she impulsively decided to do it after hearing from her studio members that it would quickly gain her followers, never imagining the serious consequences it would cause.

As for the matter of taking the exam for someone else, that was a mistake she made when she was young and immature. She didn't actually ask her junior to take the exam for her, so it doesn't count.

“They’ve already realized their mistakes, let’s trust them one more time. If it still doesn’t work this time, then fire them.” Chen Jiazhi said patiently, “It’s hard to find a job these days, I’m afraid that if I fire them, what if they can’t find other jobs and are under a lot of financial pressure…”

Gu Mingyue shook her head: "You, you're just too kind!"

They were chatting enthusiastically when a clear voice suddenly came from above: "Oh? Miss Chen, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Chen Jiazhi, who had been relaxed and at ease, suddenly sprang up as if she had encountered a ghost after hearing the voice, her back stiffening.

A hallucination...or a hallucination?
Why does she feel like she can hear Chi Yu's voice?!
Gu Mingyue didn't notice Chen Jiazhi's unusual reaction. When she heard the unfamiliar voice, Gu Mingyue subconsciously turned her head and looked at the young woman who had appeared behind their seats at some point. Her gaze swept over the hat and mask the young woman was wearing, and after realizing that the person was not any of the wealthy heiresses she knew, Gu Mingyue was slightly displeased: "Who are you?"

“I’m Miss Chen’s good friend,” Chi Yu smiled at her.

She leaned casually against the back of Chen Jiazhi's seat, noticing Chen Jiazhi's stiff posture. Chi Yu even poked Chen Jiazhi with her finger, kindly reminding her, "Miss Chen, have you forgotten me? Didn't you send me a private message on Douyin, asking where I was and saying you would come to pick me up in person?"

"I came to find you as soon as I saw that message. What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

There's one more short chapter coming up, Little Bear will write a bit more.
