9pm, Zhengfa University Female Dormitory.

In 412 Dorm, Zhou Xiaowen held up his mobile phone and screamed, almost tearing down the roof.

"Zhiyi! Zhiyi, look! You are on the hot search!"

She rushed to Shen Zhiyi's bedside and put the phone screen in front of her.

"'Henglong Crown Prince spends a lot of money for beauty'! I'm talking about you!"

Chen Shuhua and Li Jing also gathered around, three pairs of eyes staring at Shen Zhiyi.

Shen Zhiyi looked pale at the news on the screen of his mobile phone.

She did not expect that the matter would become such a big deal, nor did she expect that the shares given to her by Zhao Chen would be so exposed.

"Zhiyi..." Li Jing asked cautiously,

"The news said that Zhao Chen gave you 28 million shares of Henglong Shares, worth nearly Two Hundred Million... Is it true?"

Shen Zhiyi bit his lip and nodded:

"It's true. But it's not 'given', it's what I subscribed for..."

"Subscribe?" Zhou Xiaowen widened his eyes,

"That means you really spent 170 million Hong Kong Dollar? Where did you get so much money?"

"Zhao Chen forwarded it to me."

Shen Zhiyi confessed honestly, "He said this is what I deserve..."

"Deserve it?" Chen Shuhua pushed up his glasses with a complicated tone,

"Zhiyi, do you know what this means? This is not a package or a car, this is Listed Company shares that are nearly Two Hundred Million Hong Kong Dollar!

He... he just gave it to you unconditionally?"

Shen Zhiyi nodded:

"He said this was a guarantee for me. No matter what happens in the future, I will be confident."

There was a brief silence in the bedroom.

Then, Zhou Xiaowen hugged Shen Zhiyi fiercely, with a crying voice:

"Zhiyi, I'm so jealous! I'm really jealous! I'm not jealous of the money, but I'm jealous of Zhao Chen's heart for you!

Two Hundred Million Hong Kong Dollar, give it as you say, without any conditions..."

Li Jing also had red eyes:

"Before, we joked about being Zhao Chen's San'erxi'er, but now we know that he only has eyes for you.

Zhiyi, you must be happy!"

Chen Shuhua didn't speak, but lightly patted Shen Zhiyi on the shoulder.

But there was also unconcealable envy and emotion in her eyes.

At this moment, Shen Zhiyi's cell phone rang. The caller ID read: Mom.

She took a deep breath and answered the phone.

"Mom..."

"Zhiyi! Have you watched the news?"

Li Xiaojuan's voice was anxious and shocked,

"The news said that Crown Prince from Henglong Group gave his girlfriend 5% of the shares! That girlfriend... couldn't be you, right?"

Shen Zhiyi was silent for a few seconds. "It's me."

There was a gasp from the other end of the phone, and then the father Shen Wentao took the call:

"Zhiyi, tell dad honestly, that Zhao Chen... is the boyfriend you mentioned in the first chapter?"

"Hmm."

"Is he really the Zhao Chen of Henglong Group? The Zhao Chen who has had sex with Financial News several times?"

"Hmm."

There was another silence on the other end of the phone.

Shen Wentao's voice is a little dry:

"Why didn't you make it clear before? We even joked and asked if your boyfriend was as good as Henglong Crown Prince..."

Shen Zhiyi smiled bitterly:

"I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you. And...Zhao Chen said that he is in a complicated situation now and doesn't want to involve his family."

"Then this share..."

Li Xiaojuan grabbed the phone,

"170 million Hong Kong Dollar! Zhiyi, we can't take this money! It's too hot!"

"Mom, this is not cash, it is shares."

Shen Zhiyi explained,

"And it's already in my name. Zhao Chen said, this is what I deserve."

"You deserve what you deserve!" Li Xiaojuan was anxious,

"How old are you? Is it ridiculous to give away hundreds of millions of shares when you fall in love? Do his family members know about it? What will public opinion say about you?"

Shen Zhiyi was about to answer when another call came in - it was Zhao Chen.

"Mom, let me take a call first. It's Zhao Chen."

After hanging up the phone from her parents, she answered the call from Zhao Chen.

"Did you see the news?" Zhao Chen's voice was calm.

"Well..." Shen Zhiyi's voice was choked, "I'm sorry for causing you any trouble."

"Silly words." Zhao Chen said softly,

"It's me who should be sorry. I didn't expect them to expose you. But don't worry, I'm already handling it."

"My parents just called, they are very worried..."

"When you're done, I'll go home with you and explain it to them in person."

Zhao Chen said, "You should have a good rest tonight and don't watch the news. Remember, you did nothing wrong."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Zhiyi looked at the concerned eyes of his three roommates and forced a smile:

"He said he would take care of it."

Zhou Xiaowen hugged her:

"Zhiyi, you must hold on! All Jiang University girls are envious of you now, but some are also saying mean things. You can't be knocked down!"

Chen Shuhua nodded:

"I suggest you not go to class these days to avoid the limelight. Reporters from the media may come to school to block you."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was sudden noise from downstairs.

The Westerner walked to the window and saw that there were more than a dozen people with cameras gathered outside the dormitory building, and many students were standing around pointing.

"What a reporter..." Li Jing frowned, "How did they get in?"

The dormitory aunt was blocking her at the door, but obviously she couldn't stop her.

Shen Zhiyi's phone started vibrating again, this time it was an unfamiliar number.

She hung up, rang again, hung up again, rang again...

"Turn off your phone." Chen Shuhua suggested, "Don't turn it on tonight."

Shen Zhiyi turned off her phone as she was told, but knew in her heart: starting from tonight, her life will completely change.
