Song Yunfei was out of options. It felt like she’d just been slapped twice while kneeling—completely powerless.
She sighed and flopped onto the sofa. “I already told you, but you don’t believe me. When you remember everything, don’t say I lied to you.”
Since the truth was already out, Song Yunfei decided to give up and just go with the flow.
Whatever happens, happens.
Chu Jinhan didn’t say anything. He silently gathered the dishes and went to wash them.
Then he tidied up the house, cleaned everything, and even took their clothes to wash.
Watching his busy figure, Song Yunfei was a bit surprised. As a domineering CEO, how was he so skilled at doing chores?
After cleaning up the place, Chu Jinhan glanced at the woman lying flat on the sofa.
“I’m going out to look for a job.”
Song Yunfei’s mind was still in a daze. She just nodded, continuing to watch him in confusion.
This change was way too fast.
But after thinking it over, she could only assume it was because he had amnesia and felt insecure.
Chu Jinhan arrived at a familiar electric scooter shop and immediately spotted that old, worn-out scooter.
1,200. Bought.
After registering as a delivery rider, he rode the scooter to a delivery station.
After waiting for a while, he saw a familiar figure returning from outside.
Chu Jinhan stepped forward and stopped him. “Hello.”
Wang Yi stopped his scooter and looked at him in confusion. “What’s up, bro? New here?”
Chu Jinhan said, “Yeah, I’m new. Can you guide me a bit?”
Wang Yi was quite loyal and agreed without hesitation.
Seeing that he had registered for crowdsourced delivery, Wang Yi said, “Bro, you’re doing crowdsourced—you can just grab orders yourself. No need to come here.”
He patiently explained the difference between crowdsourced and dedicated delivery.
Chu Jinhan listened calmly, even though he already knew.
After Wang Yi finished, Chu Jinhan asked, “How many orders do you usually do in a day?”
Wang Yi smiled. “Forty to fifty, I guess. Don’t worry—beginners can do around twenty, which is already pretty good.”
“How much do you earn in a month?”
Wang Yi’s smile stiffened a bit. Anyone would feel uncomfortable being asked about their salary.
Still, he answered, “Not much. If you’re hardworking, maybe six to seven thousand a month with full attendance. Crowdsourced might be a bit less, but not by much if you work hard.”
Chu Jinhan said, “I’ll pay you 10,000 a month. You deliver for me.”
“…”
Wang Yi sized him up.
Then he got on his scooter and left. “Are you crazy?”
After patiently explaining everything, it turned out this guy was just messing with him.
Chu Jinhan curled his lips slightly. Second round really is troublesome.
Half an hour later, Wang Yi came out again.
Seeing that “crazy guy” still waiting there, he pretended not to notice and sped off on his scooter.
But after a while, he glanced back—only to find the man riding alongside him.
“Can we add each other as friends?”
Wang Yi was speechless. This reminded him of how he used to chase his wife, following her around asking for her contact.
In the end, under Chu Jinhan’s persistence, Wang Yi reluctantly agreed to add him.
Only then did he finally get rid of that “crazy guy.”
After riding farther away, Wang Yi took out his phone, planning to delete him.
But as soon as he opened it, he saw a transfer of 10,000.
He was stunned. This guy was serious?
Meanwhile, Chu Jinhan sat on his scooter by the roadside. From afar, he saw Wang Yi turning back.
Soon, Wang Yi arrived beside him.
“Bro, what do you mean by this? You really want me to deliver for you?”
Chu Jinhan nodded. “Of course. Not too much—just help me do 40 orders a day.”
“Th-then how long? I’m not doing this if it’s just for one month.”
If he worked for him, he’d have to quit his current job. One month wouldn’t be worth it.
“Let’s start with six months.”
As he spoke, he transferred another 100,000 to Wang Yi.
Wang Yi was shocked again, and the way he looked at Chu Jinhan completely changed.
“What exactly are you after? Don’t tell me you’ve taken a liking to me?”
Chu Jinhan’s eyebrow twitched. “You’re overthinking it. I just made a mistake and my family punished me by making me deliver food for six months.”
“Oh, I get it—a rich second-generation!”
“You can think of it that way.”
Wang Yi immediately turned enthusiastic, smiling warmly. “You should’ve said so earlier! Delivering for you for six months? No problem—leave it to me!”
He had never met a rich second-generation in his life. Even without the money, he would’ve helped—let alone with this kind of payment.
No sane person would pass up such a great opportunity.
And just like that, the two happily reached an agreement.
Wang Yi delivered the food for him, while Chu Jinhan bought a set of fishing gear and found a place to go fishing.
But in Song Yunfei’s eyes, he was working tirelessly as a delivery rider.
Every day, he woke up early, cooked, cleaned the house, then went out, only returning after dark.
Song Yunfei even checked his delivery stats—40 to 50 orders a day. It was exhausting. She even started to feel sorry for him.
After lying around for two months, Song Yunfei herself couldn’t stand it anymore.
Staying home all day was too boring—sleeping and playing on her phone.
She still had Huabei payments to repay, and after Chu Jinhan’s “salary” covered installments, there wasn’t much left.
She felt like she should find a job.
Thinking carefully, she realized she hadn’t told Chu Jinhan the lie about them being childhood sweethearts, nor had she mentioned her education.
So…
Wait, she had already confessed everything—why was she still overthinking this?!
She remembered there was a design company on the next street—or rather, a small shop.
A tiny storefront with three computers and only one person working inside.
At a glance, Song Yunfei spotted a recruitment notice at the entrance.
She walked in to ask about the job. The boss asked her a few questions and tested her on some related software.
Seeing how proficient she was, he hired her on the spot.
A base salary of 1,500 plus commission.
Song Yunfei agreed. She wouldn’t be working there long anyway—it was mainly to pass time and earn some living expenses.
Most importantly, she still needed to find a way to sell the watch and run away as soon as possible.
She had already checked—there was an official store in Huaicheng. She just needed to find a chance to drive there.
Right now, she was so broke she couldn’t even afford fuel.
And that car belonged to the company. According to the original plot, she was supposed to drive it a thousand kilometers away and abandon it.
But after thinking about it, she gave up. That far meant expensive fuel costs. Anyway, she had already told the truth—whether she abandoned the car or not didn’t really matter anymore.
Thinking this way, she felt even more pressed for time.
Both of them had their own plans. When the timing felt right, Chu Jinhan went to Mr. He’s company for an interview again.
This time, it was different from his previous life.
This time, he was the one interviewing He Long.
He Long walked into the meeting room and was a bit stunned to see the man sitting in the main seat.
But after glancing at Chu Jinhan’s impressive résumé, he forgave him for sitting in the wrong place.
He walked to the side, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
“Chu Jinhan, right? You’re applying for a sales position? Do you have any experience?”
Chu Jinhan glanced at him. “You’re mistaken. I’m here to interview as a shareholder.”
“………………”
Mr. He almost wanted to throw him out on the spot.
But when Chu Jinhan took out his business card, he nearly dropped to his knees.
Holding the card with trembling hands, he asked, “Ch-Chairman Chu, h-how did you take an interest in my small factory?”
“You’re lucky.”
“Th-this…”
For a moment, Mr. He even suspected he had fallen into a scam. This guy must be a fraud, right?!
But he said he was investing five million!
Even if it wasn’t under Yanjin’s name but his personal investment, it still proved his strength.
The fortune-teller hadn’t lied after all!!
He had met a benefactor!

That evening, Song Yunfei and Chu Jinhan sat at the dining table.
As they were eating, they suddenly spoke at the same time:
“I have something to tell you.”
“I have something…”
They looked at each other. Chu Jinhan frowned slightly. “You go first.”
Song Yunfei smiled. “You first.”
Chu Jinhan said, “I found a job. Order coordination at a factory—3,000 a month.”
Song Yunfei paused, but she wasn’t surprised. It seemed the plot was going that way.
“That’s good. Work hard.”
“And you? What were you going to say?”
Song Yunfei scratched her nose and smiled awkwardly. “I also found a job… Tomorrow I need to go to Huaicheng. I might come back late.”
Chu Jinhan stared at her intently.
His gaze made her uneasy, and she forced a smile. “Just for one day. I’ll go in the morning and be back in the afternoon.”
He still didn’t speak.
Song Yunfei grew even more nervous, wondering if he had seen through her plan.
But the next moment, Chu Jinhan simply said, “Got it.”
She secretly let out a sigh of relief and smiled as she put food into his bowl. “Eat more. Delivering food is tiring.”
Before going to bed that night, Song Yunfei took out the watch again, touched it for a while, and only felt at ease after placing it under her pillow.
The next morning, Chu Jinhan had already gone out to work.
She quickly got up and reached under her pillow.
Song Yunfei frowned.
She lifted the pillow—nothing.
She checked his pillow—still nothing.
She got out of bed, searched under it, then stripped the sheets and searched again.
“My watch!!! Where is my watch?!!!”
—
At noon, Chu Jinhan returned with groceries and started cooking.
He saw her sitting lifelessly on the sofa, staring blankly into space.
A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
“Aren’t you going to Huaicheng? Why haven’t you left yet? Waiting for me to go with you?”
Song Yunfei slowly turned to look at him, trying to read something from his face.
But he still had that same honest expression—she couldn’t see anything.
She couldn’t exactly ask if he had stolen her watch either. After all, it was originally his, and she had already claimed she sold it.
So she could only ask indirectly, “When you cleaned the room this morning… did you happen to find anything?”
Chu Jinhan thought for a moment, then shook his head. “No. I threw away quite a bit of trash, though. Did you lose something?”
“Where did you throw the trash?”
“Downstairs, in the dumpster. What did you lose?”
“It’s nothing… I just lost 20 yuan. It’s fine, really… totally fine…” Song Yunfei forced a smile, but she looked like she was about to cry.
Chu Jinhan put down the groceries, walked over, and sat beside her. He took out 50 yuan in cash from his pocket.
Taking her hand, he placed the money in her palm. “Here, take 50. Don’t be sad.”
Song Yunfei felt even more miserable.
Her one million!!!
“Are you still going to Huaicheng?”
Song Yunfei struggled to maintain a smile. “No… plans changed.”
