When the waiter brought the dessert, Zhao Chen took out a small box from the inner pocket of his suit.
"I thought I would give it to you in a few days, but the atmosphere is good today."
He opened the box and found a car key inside.
"It's for transportation. You are about to be a junior in college. You are interning and looking for a job. It is convenient to have a car."
Shen Zhiyi looked at the three-pointed star logo on the key and was stunned:
"Mercedes-Benz? This is too expensive..."
"Not expensive."
Zhao Chen put the key in her hand,
"Compared with your company for me, nothing is expensive."
He paused and then said:
"Also, I will arrange a sum of funds to your account in two days to pay for the corresponding amount of the 28 million Henglong Rights Issue.
These 5% shares will always belong to you in the future. This is a guarantee for you.
No matter what happens in the future, you will have enough confidence."
Shen Zhiyi was completely speechless.
Although they have already agreed on this matter before, it is 5% Henglong Shares.
Even based on the current undervalued market value, it is worth hundreds of millions Hong Kong Dollar.
"Achen, I..."
"You will be Henglong's shareholder from now on." Zhao Chen joked, "I have the responsibility and obligation to report to you."
"Tsk..."
Shen Zhiyi didn't hold back and laughed.
By the time dinner was over, it was almost ten o'clock.
Zhao Chen sent Shen Zhiyi back to school, and the car was parked on the roadside some distance away from the dormitory - Shen Zhiyi was afraid that his classmates would see him picking him up in the luxury car, which would have a bad impact.
"Tonight..." Shen Zhiyi loosened his seat belt but did not get out of the car immediately.
She unconsciously touched the hem of her skirt with her fingertips, remembering Zhou Xiaowen's words "Don't come back tonight, you are not welcome in the dormitory" and Li Jing's teasing "to consolidate the relationship" before going out, her cheeks couldn't help but feel slightly hot.
Although she and Zhao Chen had already had skin-to-skin contact, such a clear invitation still made her heart beat faster.
Zhao Chen turned his head to look at her. The light flowing outside the window outlined her delicate profile and slightly trembling eyelashes.
As if he guessed her thoughts, he raised a gentle curve at the corner of his lips and asked softly:
"Would you like to find a place to sit for a while?"
His voice was low, with a hint that only she could understand.
Shen Zhiyi's face turned redder, and he could almost feel his ears burning.
She mustered up the courage to look up at him, then quickly lowered her eyes, her voice as soft as a feather tickling her heart:
"If you don't... don't go back. Xiaowen They... said a lot of weird things..."
She didn't have the nerve to repeat those jokes about "tying up the money tree", but the firm invitation contained in her shyness was clearly revealed.
Zhao Chen chuckled, and the laughter seemed particularly clear and tickling in the small car.
He didn't ask any more questions, just restarted the car, turned the steering wheel, and drove away from the school.
"It's okay, just listen to me tonight." His tone was natural, as if this was just an ordinary decision.
Shen Zhiyi let out a soft "hmm", her heart beating like a drum. There was both anticipation and shyness about arranging a date for the first time.
She turned her gaze to the rapidly receding neon lights outside the window, but couldn't help but quietly raise the corners of her mouth.
That night, in the quiet and comfortable environment of the hotel, Shen Zhiyi lost a bit of the nervousness and rawness of the first time, and gained a bit of natural intimacy and response.
After the cloud and rain first subsided, she curled up in Zhao Chen's arms and unconsciously drew circles on his chest with her fingertips.
"Zhao Chen..."
Her voice was filled with laziness and softness afterward, "Can you sing a song that's good for me?"
"Yes."
"Then... what if one day, there is someone else by your side?"
She asked about the deepest fear in her heart, and even though her body was close to her, she still felt a little uneasy.
Zhao Chen was silent for a few seconds.
The light from the city outside the window filtered through the gaps in the curtains, casting alternating light and dark shadows on his face.
"Zhiyi, I don't want to lie to you."
He finally said, holding her tighter with his arms,
"The path I take is destined to involve many people and things. But in my heart, you will always be the most special one. This promise is forever valid."
When Shen Zhiyi's heart was jumping wildly, at the same moment, in a Villa in the city, Su Wantang was working in front of the computer screen.
She was sorting out the last details of the Rights Issue file, and there was cold coffee on the table.
The phone screen lit up, and it was a message sent by Zhao Chen two hours ago:
"If you have something to do tonight, you don't have to wait for me..."
Su Wantang stared at the message for a long time, and finally just replied with one word, "Okay."
She got up and walked to Living Room to get herself a cup of tea.
She knows where Zhao Chen is.
She also knew that they would be together tonight.
A complex and bitter emotion spread in my chest.
But she quickly suppressed it, walked back to Study, and continued working.
This is the path she chose.
Stand by his side, in whatever capacity he needs.
The next day.
The news about Bitcoin breaking through 2000 US Dollar is like a pebble thrown into the lake, causing ripples in Zhengfa University that are far beyond the expectations of Zhao Chen.
This gradually confirmed his seemingly arrogant assertion in class in early November last year-
"Bitcoin will break through 1000 US Dollars by the end of the year, and will break through 20,000 US Dollar by the end of 2017."
Those seemingly crazy words now have many fans.
At that time, many students in the school who were from well-off families more or less joined in the investment process.
