The Undercover Heir is Actually Tycoon's Secret Girlfriend-Chapter 145 - 127

The office phone rang, and Rong Zhi answered the call.

After listening to the other side, she lightly said, "Wait for me," and then grabbed the coat off the chair back and headed out.

The edge of her trench coat cut through the air with a sharp arc, as the young woman stepped confidently into the chaos, her gaze sweeping over the crowd in front, using her height advantage to see the girl surrounded in the middle.

It was her secretary.

"R-Rong Third Young Master?"

Someone was the first to recognize her.

Rong Zhi slightly raised her eyelids, her facial expression faint, with a pair of fox-like eyes that were both sinister and enchanting, shrouded in a hazy mist.

She acknowledged with a hum, looking through the crowd towards Bai Tingxun, noticing the dirt on the girl’s pure white coat and slightly squinting, her tone hard to decipher, "Bai Tingxun."

The girl lifted her head in a daze, her doe-like eyes misted with tears.

As people saw Rong Zhi arrive, they moved aside to make way.

Bai Tingxun ran over to Rong Zhi in a few quick steps, choking up before she could speak, but managed to hold it back, murmuring with traces of sobs, "Vice Manager Rong, I’m sorry to make you come all the way..."

"Tsk."

Someone at this moment made a provocative, mocking sound.

Rong Zhi followed the source of the sound and saw the woman she had seen on her first day at the Rong Family standing in the spot where Bai Tingxun had been, looking over at them, her expression a mix of disdain and fear.

Probably wanting to confront but worried about the other party’s status to dare.

Rong Zhi glanced once and withdrew her gaze.

The woman felt a chill down her spine from Rong Zhi’s indifferent look, as if everything she had done was exposed in those eyes, her entire being completely seen through.

Rong Zhi’s sleeve fell loosely, with a segment bent, the golden Buddha Beads reflecting a dazzling gold under the sun. She raised a hand, her cold white jade-like index finger idly tapping her lower lip, her lips slightly curved, seemingly smiling yet not smiling.

Li Yaoyao was stunned, her expression a bit ugly.

Before she could react, Rong Zhi had already left the administrative department with Bai Tingxun.

Li Yaoyao felt a chill down her spine.

...Have I been found out?

That action just now...was it a warning?

No way, everyone in the group chat uses a pseudonym; no one knows each other, let alone Rong Zhi not being in the group. How could they know it was her doing?

Li Yaoyao snapped out of her fear, gritting her teeth, feeling that Rong Zhi was merely trying to intimidate her, as a layer of gloom instantly covered her heart anew.

She opened her phone, found the photos she had taken earlier in the finance department, selected them, opened the group chat, and sent them out.

-

Back at the office, Bai Tingxun kept her head down, silent.

Rong Zhi glanced through today’s tasks, noting a collaboration meeting with a small company’s president at noon. As her secretary, Bai Tingxun naturally had to accompany her, but given Bai Tingxun’s current state, going out without a coat might leave her freezing.

Bai Tingxun was aware of this too. She sniffled and said, "Vice Manager Rong, I’m fine, the restaurant has air conditioning, so it won’t be cold. I’ll stick on a few more warming patches!"

Rong Zhi tapped her finger lightly on the table, nodding slightly.

Bai Tingxun got the hint and left without disturbing her.

At eleven, Bai Tingxun came to notify Rong Zhi it was time to set off.

Rong Zhi was reviewing the printed collaboration plan, and after confirming there were no issues, she handed it to Bai Tingxun, standing up to head out. She was dressed simply in a dark blue sweatshirt, her legs wrapped in cargo pants, straight and long.

Bai Tingxun packed the plan into her bag, glancing and spotting the coat still hanging on the chair, feeling surprised.

Did Vice Manager Rong forget to take it? It’s so cold outside, she might catch a cold!

She hurriedly picked up the coat and chased out.

In the elevator, Rong Zhi had just stepped in when Bai Tingxun slapped the door edge, panting, "V-Vice Manager, your coat."

Rong Zhi glanced discreetly at the coat in her hands, her tone casual, "It’s dirty. I left it in the office intending to get it cleaned."

Bai Tingxun: "...Huh?"

She looked down, examining the coat repeatedly.

It was clean, with a pleasant agarwood scent; how was it dirty?

"I don’t know," Bai Tingxun felt a bit embarrassed, "I’ll just return it..."

"Not enough time." Rong Zhi replied succinctly.

Bai Tingxun was left with no choice but to enter the elevator, the doors closing. Even after getting into Rong Zhi’s car, she hadn’t figured out how to deal with the coat.

She stared ahead, suddenly struck by an idea.

Why not leave it in the car?

Unfortunately, she didn’t get the chance.

The youth’s driving skill was so impressive it left her dizzy, forgetting all thoughts of where to put the coat, now only wanting to stop quickly.

By the time she finally got out, her legs were trembling slightly, leaning on the door almost collapsing to the ground, clutching her belongings tightly, her gaze shifting as she followed the youth into the restaurant.
