When Shen Yanzhi’s phone rang, the one who reacted most strongly was Chi Yu, who currently resided inside the phone.
She watched helplessly as Shen Yanzhi picked up his phone, and then, the moment his gaze fell on the screen, the phone unlocked successfully!
Chi Yu couldn’t wait to slip inside.
What she hadn’t expected, however, was that after answering the call this time, Shen Yanzhi didn’t hold the phone to his ear. Instead, he tapped the speakerphone button and held the device in front of him.
Shen Yanzhi’s gaze remained fixed on the phone. Seeing this, Chi Yu cautiously hid in the shadows, not daring to make any rash moves.
From Shen Yanzhi’s earlier action of exiting the camera app, Chi Yu had already learned that when she used the phone’s functions, the corresponding pages would display on the screen synchronously, just as if someone were actively using the phone.
Imagine—when someone is on a call and discovers their phone automatically opening WeChat, launching a browser, or typing in text boxes on its own… how terrifying and horrifying that would be.
She had just transmigrated here and didn’t want to be sent to a phone repair shop so soon.
Chi Yu was forced to eavesdrop once again.
This time, the caller’s contact name displayed: Jiang Chang
Jiang Chang’s voice sounded young and lively: “Brother Shen, I heard your company lost that bidding project?”
Shen Yanzhi lowered his eyes and asked indifferently, “Which project?”
Jiang Chang laughed. “That project in Huai City! I saw it spread all over the group chats. Second Young Master Su is boasting everywhere, saying he won the bid by going just ten thousand higher than you. Everyone was shocked—what kind of skills does Second Young Master Su have to snatch food from Brother Shen’s bowl?”
“In competitive bidding, everyone relies on their own abilities. There’s no ‘snatching’ involved,” Shen Yanzhi corrected him, his voice detached. “If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”
“Wait, don’t!” Jiang Chang quickly stopped him. “There’s one more thing, Brother Shen. You’ll definitely be interested.”
Shen Yanzhi didn’t respond. He swiped on the screen, instantly minimizing the call window to the top. Then he opened WeChat.
The phone had vibrated several times earlier—all unread messages.
Chi Yu discovered that even if she didn’t actively look, as Shen Yanzhi operated the phone, the information on the screen would automatically appear in her consciousness.
Those earlier messages were all from Shen Yanzhi’s mother.
And the content was, unexpectedly, urging him to get married.
Chi Yu glanced at the cold-faced, domineering CEO before her. So it turned out that no matter how wealthy a man was, he still couldn’t escape his elders’ matchmaking pressure…
Seeing Madam Jiang’s messages, Shen Yanzhi frowned slightly.
On the other end, Jiang Chang seemed utterly unbothered by Shen Yanzhi’s coldness. Or rather, everyone who knew Shen Yanzhi had grown accustomed to his indifferent personality.
He proactively shared the gossip he’d been following these past few days: “Something happened with the Su family recently. That Young Miss who went missing from the Su family—they found her!”
“I heard that even though this Young Miss grew up in an orphanage, whether it’s her appearance, manners, or talents, she’s no less impressive than those young ladies raised in luxury and privilege.”
“The Su family made a high-profile announcement of her return. Old Master Su even declared on the spot that at next month’s homecoming banquet the Su family is holding for her, he’ll transfer five percent of Su Sheng Group’s shares to her name.”
“Pretty impressive, right? Missing for over twenty years, and she still managed to be found. And apparently, she was the one who sought them out.”
“Tsk tsk, this kind of plot that you’d only see in novels and short dramas—it can actually happen in reality?”
After finishing, Jiang Chang didn’t hear any response from Shen Yanzhi and understood that his Brother Shen was, as always, completely indifferent to anything unrelated to work.
Chi Yu, forced to listen in, was somewhat curious about this sort of thing. If it were her friends calling to tell her about this, she would have started chattering away long ago. But the man holding the phone remained expressionless and utterly unconcerned.
Jiang Chang rubbed his nose and continued anyway: “Brother Shen, when Second Young Master Su went to bid on that project, the person accompanying him was the Su family daughter who just returned. The Su family’s banquet next month will invite many people of the same generation, and Aunt Jiang asked me to bring you along…”
Chi Yu: …Oh! Got it, got it. This Aunt Jiang must be the same Madam Jiang who just sent Shen Yanzhi those marriage-urging messages.
To get her son to find a partner, Madam Jiang had really gone to great lengths.
However, the ally Madam Jiang found was clearly incompetent. Look—she had just spoken to Jiang Chang, and he immediately called Shen Yanzhi and sold her out.
Shen Yanzhi’s rejection was clean and decisive: “Not going.”
Then he hung up.
As for Madam Jiang’s marriage-urging messages on WeChat, Shen Yanzhi only responded coolly with a single character: [Busy]
Then he pocketed his phone and stood up to leave.
Chi Yu was stuffed into his pocket. The phone screen quickly went dark, and Chi Yu’s vision turned pitch black as well. She could only hear sounds from outside.
She heard the man leave his office, and many employees who saw him actively greeted him. The man responded coldly.
Assistant Chen, sitting at his workstation, immediately got up and followed when he saw Shen Yanzhi emerge.
The two entered the elevator.
Chi Yu heard Assistant Chen’s voice: “President Shen, are you eating in the cafeteria at noon today, or do you have other engagements?”
Shen Yanzhi: “The cafeteria.”
President Shen often dined with employees in the company cafeteria. Assistant Chen, used to this, pressed the elevator button.
In contrast, Chi Yu in the pocket was somewhat shocked when she heard Shen Yanzhi’s response.
Such a wealthy, seemingly untouchable CEO was actually this down-to-earth and approachable in private?
However, Chi Yu soon had no mind to focus on this, because she saw something quite incredible.
After Shen Yanzhi put the phone in his pocket, three large characters inexplicably appeared on the originally dark phone screen: [Charging]
Charging???
Chi Yu’s first reaction was: Truly worthy of a CEO—even his phone functions are so advanced, with such a unique charging method.
But she quickly realized that this [Charging] notification didn’t seem to be for the phone’s battery.
Even though the screen was dark, she could clearly sense the phone’s status.
His phone currently had 89% battery, and there was no charging indicator in the battery icon at the upper right of the phone.
This [Charging] notification that suddenly appeared on the phone screen wasn’t charging the phone’s battery.
Just as Chi Yu stared at those three characters in thought, a large hand suddenly reached into the pocket and grasped her.
Chi Yu noticed that when Shen Yanzhi took the phone out of his pocket, the [Charging] characters displayed on the phone screen instantly vanished.
Chi Yu: …Huh?
She temporarily suppressed her doubts.
The phone saw daylight again. Through the phone’s camera, Chi Yu quickly scanned the surrounding environment—it looked like an employee cafeteria built by the company itself.
She had already discovered that if she merely glanced around casually, it wouldn’t activate the camera function.
Only when her gaze focused on a particular spot, unconsciously using the camera’s zoom feature, would the camera app open.
