I arranged a marriage for you, not made you invincible under a disguise.

Sunlight streamed onto the pristine white sheets.

Shen Tu Ye rubbed his head, which was throbbing from a hangover, and slowly sat up.

I don't know what kind of wine Shen Sixi gave him to drink.

When he's with clients, he's always the last one to stay sober, and his subordinates all praise his amazing alcohol tolerance.

But he drank the same wine as Shen Sixi last night.

She could drink several glasses without getting drunk, but he... blacked out.

Shen Tu Ye's usually cool and handsome face now showed signs of weariness and distress.

He rubbed his temples with his fingers, then turned his head and noticed a note and a cold bowl of hangover soup on the bedside table.

The handwriting on the note was exceptionally beautiful.

One glance from them immediately brings to mind those bright and captivating eyes.

Don't forget to add me on WeChat.

Shen Tu Ye's eyes flickered as he saw a WeChat ID attached to the end.

His heart was racing.

I don't know if it's a hangover or something else.

My fingertips trembled slightly as I quickly found my phone and searched for and added the contact.

The profile picture is completely black.

My WeChat name is an uppercase 's'.

I just added them successfully, and a message popped up on their end.

Hello, Xiaoxi has already told me about your company.

Here are a few suggestions for upgrading the program. If you're interested, I can explain them in detail.

Shen Tu Ye frowned slightly.

This is not Shen Sixi.

His head started to ache again, and he gradually began to recall what he had talked about with Shen Sixi.

When he was drunk, he wanted to share all his happy and unhappy moments with her.

Originally, I just wanted to seek comfort.

To everyone's surprise, she calmly replied, "I have a friend who might be able to help your company solve this problem."

"Of course, he's quite capable, so only a generous reward can persuade him to come."

Now, on the other side of the screen, it seems, is Shen Sixi's "impressive" friend.

They acted swiftly and soon sent back a proposal.

Shen Tu Ye endured his headache and opened the app. After reading a few pages, his eyes gradually revealed a look of amazement and shock.

Shen Sixi spoke lightly, but it wasn't actually as she described.

This isn't just "a little impressive," this level of skill is simply phenomenal!

Shen Tu Ye minored in computer-related fields, so he has a good understanding of the professional knowledge.

The other party pointed out the flaws in Shenyuan Technology's main algorithm incisively, and the proposed improvement directions were so clear.

It's worth noting that Shenyuan Technology, as a leading enterprise with a research and development team of hundreds, had racked their brains but never found a breakthrough in this area!

Shen Tu Ye sobered up instantly.

He looked like he had struck gold; he put on his shoes and hurried outside.

He vaguely remembered that the other party had asked for a very high price, and he needed to talk to his older brother about it.

Hello, I'm very interested, please wait a moment.

……

Shen Sixi looked at the message Shen Tu Ye sent with satisfaction.

Looks like I'll be able to make a fortune on the side again.

The reason why Shen Tu's Shenyuan Technology was suppressed by its competitors was because the competitors purchased the program algorithm developed by Chu Lian.

Shen Sixi, on the other hand, helped both sides, earning money from both, and was very happy.

After the divorce, she won't have the monthly allowance of 880,000 yuan anymore, so she needs to prepare more retirement funds in advance.

-

Shen Tu Mo also has a dedicated study on this luxury cruise ship for working.

There was a knock on the door, and Shen Tu Ye walked in hurriedly.

Shen Tu Mo looked at him with displeasure, his hair disheveled and his appearance from a night of heavy drinking.

"Who did you drink with?"

"..." Shen Tu Ye couldn't possibly tell his older brother that he and his sister-in-law had drunk so much that they got into this state.

"Brother, take a look at this. I've found a top-notch algorithm expert who can solve Shenyuan Technology's current predicament."

"Please invite him to take charge."

"He's asking for a very high reward, demanding 10% of the profits from all products at Shenyuan Technology that use his algorithm..."

“Sure.” Shen Tu Mo paused in his work, raising his eyes. “If he’s willing to join Shenyuan Technology, we can give him shares directly. You can discuss the details.”

“Okay.” Shen Tu Ye knew that his elder brother always cherished talent.

Even exorbitantly priced shares can be given away without hesitation in order to attract talent.

He was given permission and was full of fighting spirit.

After leaving the study, Shen Tu Ye sent another message to the algorithm expert, but never received a reply.

Shen Tu Ye was getting anxious.

I had no choice but to go find Shen Sixi.

The cruise ship was so big that he searched everywhere and made countless phone calls before finally finding Shen Sixi at a restaurant specializing in hot pot, with the help of his butler.

She was enjoying hot pot with meat.

Shen Tu Ye walked over and sighed, "Why didn't you answer the phone?"

"The power's out." Shen Sixi said, her breath steaming in the heat. "Shall we sit down and eat something?"

“…” Shen Tu Ye sat down without getting angry.

"Your friend doesn't reply to my messages either."

Shen Sixi nodded naturally, "That's normal, he's always elusive."

“I wanted to tell him that we were willing to offer him a generous reward, as long as he could help us fix the algorithm vulnerabilities and defeat our competitors.” Shen Tu Ye pushed up his glasses.

"He said that victory is unlikely, and the best that can be achieved is a close contest."

Shen Sixi took a sip of water and lowered her eyes.

They're all tools for her to make money, how can you favor one over the other?

Of course, one should strive to be a master of impartiality.

Shen Tu Ye was not surprised by this answer.

He nodded in agreement, “Our competitors’ algorithms are indeed very difficult to beat. They also hired a top-notch algorithm expert, who is ridiculously strong.”

Shen Tu Ye had no idea that when he praised his opponent, he was actually praising Shen Sixi as well.

Shen Sixi blinked. "Yes, the other party is very outstanding."

Shen Tu Ye agreed with Shen Sixi's assessment. He paused for a few seconds and then asked:

"I'd also like to ask your friend if he'd be willing to join Shenyuan Technology. We can give him shares and the best position."

"Want to join the company?" Shen Sixi raised an eyebrow. "My friend loves freedom the most, so I'm afraid she won't agree."

"...You seem to know him very well." Shen Tu Ye's gaze was inquisitive.

“Of course, we have a very good relationship.” Shen Sixi continued to cook the beef slices. “Go prepare the contract, I’ll sign it for him.”

Shen Tu Ye: ?

“My relationship with him is so good that his money is my money, understand?” Shen Sixi said matter-of-factly without any attempt to hide it.

Shen Tu Ye's gaze towards her changed.

"Does Big Brother know?"

He doesn't need to know.

"..."

Shen Sixi smiled and noticed that Shen Tu Ye's expression was complex and fascinating.

It was as if no one had expected her to be this kind of woman.

She practically had the words "unfaithful to women" etched on her face.

"You won't tell your older brother, right?" Shen Sixi put a piece of cooked meat into his bowl as well.

Shen Tu Ye didn't touch his chopsticks, sat stiffly for a long time, and then said in a hoarse voice, "Okay."

-

Shen Tu Ye didn't sit for long.

Just left.

Shen Sixi watched with great interest as he fled in a somewhat panicked manner, knowing that he must be very disappointed inside.

But she did it on purpose.

That made him give up on that idea completely.

Anyway, Shen Tu Ye walked on, stumbling and unsteady, as if he had suffered a great blow.

He returned to Shen Tu Mo's study, knocked on the door, and entered.

Seeing that his face was a little pale, Shen Tu Mo raised his eyebrows.

"They couldn't reach an agreement?"

Shen Tu Ye nodded, then shook his head.

"Not really. The other party was willing to provide us with technical guidance in exchange for profit, and asked us to prepare a contract."

"But he was unwilling to join Shenyuan Technology, saying he didn't want his freedom to be restricted."

Shen Tu Mo nodded. "That's normal."

But such talents are rare, and he feels it would be a pity to let one slip away.

After a few seconds of silence, Shen Tu Mo asked again, "How did you talk to him? Is there still room for negotiation?"

"That's how we talked about it," Shen Tu Ye said somewhat vaguely.

He promised Shen Sixi that he couldn't tell her the truth.

Shen Tu Mo frowned sharply, "How do you know him?"

A friend introduced me to it.

"Whose friend?"

No matter how difficult things were, Shen Tu Ye could only answer—

"Shen Sixi's friend."

He tried his best to pronounce "Shen Sixi" without any emotion, emphasizing the word "friend".

Shen Tu Mo remained silent.

Shen Tu Ye also fell silent.

After about a minute, Shen Tu Mo finally broke the silence.

"male?"
