After the divorce, the CEO knelt down every night begging for remarriage.

"Is that what you think?"

Li Tingze stared into her eyes, raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose: "Lin Zhi, that's enough of the commotion. Don't push your luck. Either take the money and calm down outside for a while, or come home with me now."

Lin Zhi said in a cool tone, "No need. You should save this money to put on a fireworks show to make your white moonlight happy."

Li Tingze frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Lin Zhi smiled coldly to herself. Why was he pretending to be confused when he knew the truth?

Seeing her silence, he gently pinched her chin and asked again in a low voice, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"It's nothing, it's not important anymore."

Lin Zhi pushed his hand away and said stiffly, "Mr. Li, thank you for getting me out of that predicament tonight. If you need me next time, I'll drive you around for free. Please also be lenient and leave me a way out. I will be eternally grateful to you in the future."

Her deliberate aloofness and politeness surprised Li Tingze slightly.

I feel a little uncomfortable.

He scoffed and stared at her, saying, "Is this how you express gratitude?"

if not?

Lin Zhi asked him, "How do you want me to thank you?"

Li Tingze's gaze was deep.

He didn't need her to thank him; he just wanted her to finish making a scene and go home to continue being the sensible Mrs. Li.

He was already busy enough with work; he didn't have time to play around with her.

He had no patience to coax her.

He thought the reason he helped her tonight was because they weren't divorced yet, and she was still Mrs. Li, not because he cared about her.

"Mr. Li, there's plenty of time in the future. If you need a designated driver, please remember to call me."

After saying that, Lin Zhi opened the car door, got out, and left without looking back.

After a busy day, she returned to her rented room, took a hot shower, and lay down to fall asleep.

The next afternoon.

Lin Zhi then joined her friends in distributing flyers on the street.

While she was handing out flyers to pedestrians, she saw an elderly woman with gray hair walking unsteadily in the distance, chasing after a man dressed in black, shouting "robbery!"

In a moment of desperation, Lin Zhi tripped the man in black the instant he approached, causing him to drop what he was holding.

The man tried to pick it up, but nearby police officers arrived and arrested him.

Lin Zhi picked up the box and handed it to the old lady.

The old lady was moved to tears and hurriedly opened the box. When she saw that the bracelet inside had a small chip, her expression instantly turned serious.

Lin Zhi glanced at it and said, "Your jade bracelet is entirely green, twisted in shape, and exquisitely crafted. It's clearly a high-quality piece and quite expensive. No wonder that person tried to snatch it in broad daylight."

The old lady shook her head and sighed, "It's a pity that it's broken now."

"It's no pity." Lin Zhi smiled faintly. "If you trust me, I can try to help you repair it."

The old lady asked incredulously, "You're so young, and you know how to repair jewelry?"

"You can choose not to try."

The old lady looked at the young Lin Zhi in front of her, and with a try-it-out mentality, nodded in agreement.

She led Lin Zhi and Lin Wanxin back to the jewelry shop.

Without saying a word, Lin Zhi sat down at the workbench, picked up the right tools, and began to repair the bracelet. Every movement she made touched the old lady's heartstrings.

They were afraid that something might happen and ruin the precious bracelet.

Lin Zhi's skillful movements and unique techniques transformed the old lady's initial skepticism into admiration.

A small cut may look easy to make, but it is actually difficult to repair to its original state.

When she handed the repaired bracelet to the old lady, the old lady's face was full of surprise.

The old lady took out a flashlight and shone it on the bracelet several times. After confirming that it was as perfect as ever, she immediately gave Lin Zhi a thumbs up.

He praised, "Miss Lin, thank you so much. Your restoration skills are comparable to those of a master craftsman in China."

"You're welcome, it's easy."

After saying that, Lin Zhi was about to go back to handing out flyers when the old lady quickly grabbed her hand and smiled kindly: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Shen Yu'e, and I am the founder of Shen's Jewelry Group. We happen to be short of a jewelry restorer. If you don't mind, we hope you can join our company. Your seniority is three times higher than the industry average. What do you think?"

Jewelry restorers typically earn between 15 and 30 yuan per year.

That's three times higher, approximately one million.

Lin Zhi didn't want to take advantage of her vulnerability, so she refused, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, but I haven't worked in this industry for a long time, and I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to handle it."

"To be honest, your restoration skills are excellent, reaching the top in the industry. I've lived for over seventy years and seen countless people. It's no exaggeration to say that you won't find another person in Beijing as young and skilled as you." The old lady held Lin Zhi's hand tightly, unwilling to let her leave. "Or, you can name your price. As long as you're willing to take the job, we'll give you whatever annual salary you want."

Unable to refuse such hospitality, and also because Lin Zhi really needed a stable job at the moment.

She thought about it for a while before nodding and saying, "Thank you for your compliment. If possible, I would still like to accept the normal annual salary in the industry."

The old lady beamed with joy: "Alright, alright, whatever you're willing to do."

As if afraid that Lin Zhi might change her mind, the old lady called her grandson, who was the CEO of the group, and asked him to come over immediately. The labor contract was signed on the spot, and the probationary period was skipped. He was officially hired on the first day of work.

After the contract was signed, Shen Mubai politely extended his hand and said with a gentle smile, "Sister Zhi'er, it's been five years since we last met. I never expected to see you come out of retirement again. Our Shen family has really struck gold by signing you."

Lin Zhi was slightly stunned, and it took her a while to finally remember.

Shen Mubai was her junior from the same university, major, and professor. During his time at school, he was very low-key, with a punk hairstyle that covered half of his face. He didn't like to talk much and just buried himself in researching restoration techniques.

Unfortunately, he had perseverance but no talent, so he switched to jewelry design in his final year of graduation and studied for several more years.

As for what happened next, Lin Zhi had no idea.

But she never expected that the low-key junior Shen was actually the young master of Shen's Jewelry.

The two reminisced about the past and had a very pleasant conversation.

Time flies, and dusk is approaching.

After thanking him, Lin Zhi prepared to leave, and Shen Mubai followed closely behind, offering to take her home.

Lin Zhi wanted to decline, but before she could finish speaking, Shen Mubai had already invited her into the car.

Upon arriving at the rented urban village, the car couldn't drive all the way downstairs. Lin Zhi called out at the intersection, "Just drop me off here. The alley is narrow and it's inconvenient to back up."

"it is good."

As soon as Shen Mubai parked the car, he immediately got out and walked around to Lin Zhi's side, gentlemanly opening the car door for her.

Lin Zhi was slightly taken aback, said thank you, and got out of the car.

Just as she was about to say goodbye to Shen Mubai, she caught a glimpse of a familiar, tall figure walking towards her out of the corner of her eye.

He was secretly puzzled.

Why is Li Tingze coming to see her at this time?

Shen Mubai sensed something, followed her gaze, and asked in surprise, "You know President Li?"

Lin Zhi paused for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Yes, he... is my ex-husband."

The two are getting a divorce, and he will soon become her ex-husband.

This description of their relationship seems harmless.

However, she didn't expect Shen Mubai to...

As Li Tingze approached, Shen Mubai greeted him warmly with a smile: "Mr. Li, you must be Sister Zhi'er's ex-husband. I'm Sister Zhi'er's junior, Shen Mubai."

Li Tingze's face suddenly turned cold. He glared at Lin Zhi and said unhappily, "Is this how you introduced me to him?"
