The Undercover Heir is Actually Tycoon's Secret Girlfriend-Chapter 153 - 129_3

In Beijing, the temperature dropped to 2° in the evening.

Rong Zhi got up to leave, and Bai Su followed.

Tang Xuyun’s gaze lingered between the two of them, paused for a moment, and ultimately said nothing.

-

Back in Huqing District.

Rong Zhi returned Bai Su’s coat, as it was still early. She went into the kitchen and cooked a pot of porridge to warm up and dispel the cold. After serving Bai Su a bowl, she went to the lab to prepare medicine for her throat.

"Cough, cough, cough."

The suppressed cough filled the laboratory.

Rong Zhi’s throat felt painfully dry and torn.

Maybe she had been smoking too much recently, and this old ailment returned, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

She clicked her tongue lightly, and following the prescription, she took various medications from the medicinal cabinet to formulate.

Actually, traditional Chinese medicine is better for nurturing her body than Western medicine, but she didn’t have time to slowly take medicine, so she chose the fastest acting one.

She took out a disposable infusion set, washed her hands, wiped them with alcohol to disinfect the back of her hand, and expertly administered the injection. Then she bent the tubing and secured it in place, hung the medicine bottle on a nearby shelf, and adjusted the drop speed of the medicine.

There was a knock at the door, to which she calmly responded, "Come in."

Bai Su pushed the door open and entered, feeling the temperature in the lab and faintly furrowing his brows.

This room was even colder than outside.

He saw the needle in Rong Zhi’s hand, "Throat feeling uncomfortable?"

Rong Zhi: "Mm."

Bai Su’s fingertips moved slightly.

He quietly sighed, stepped in unhurriedly, picked up the medicine bottle, gently held the cool hand of the young woman, "Come sit in the living room. I’ll find a stand for you, it’s cold here."

Rong Zhi had no objections and followed him out.

Bai Su found a stand and positioned it in the middle of the sofa, then hung the medicine bottle, checked the drop speed which was at the end, and glanced at Rong Zhi’s slightly bulging blue veins, pursing his lips, he adjusted it to a slower pace.

"Is there a hot water bag at home?" he asked.

Rong Zhi pointed to the cabinet by the entrance.

Bai Su understood.

He took the hot water bag, plugged it in, waited until it was charged, and placed it under the palm of the young woman receiving the injection, sitting cross-legged beside her, holding her hand, using the warmth of his fingertips to warm the back of her hand.

Rong Zhi paused for a moment, then turned to look out the window.

Winter nights came early, with stars swirling overhead, temperatures downbeat, yet the indoors were quiet in stark contrast.

She turned back.

The fox-like eyes slightly narrowed, half-drooped, staring at the whirl of the man’s hair, emotions unreadable.

In the evening, Jiang Gujun and Rong Jiazze came over with dinner, Rong Zhi quickly ate and went back to the lab to work.

Lately, He Songzhi’s condition was worsening.

Seeing it herself, she dared not slack off, wishing she could split every minute into two, yet Rong Qichuo at this time gave her tasks, assigning a bunch of work for her to handle.

After several consecutive days in the company hospital and lab, Rong Zhi finally showed a rare hint of fatigue on her face.

She rubbed her temples, handed the new plan to Bai Tingxun to deliver it to Rong Qichuo.

Bai Tingxun glanced at her face, showing some concern, "Deputy Manager, why don’t you tell the General Manager to take two days off?"

Rong Zhi waved her hand, "No need, you go ahead."

Rong Qichuo wanting to give her tasks, would not allow her any rest, unless it was the weekend, otherwise she had to keep busy.

She had been much busier those three years than now; this level of workload was relatively easy for her.

The scheduled surgery with Tang Xuyun was at two-thirty in the afternoon, Rong Zhi left the company after finishing her work for the day.

What she didn’t know was that the moment she left the company, someone took a photo of her exiting and sent it to the group chat, captioned ’Leaving early just because she is the Rong Family’s young master, tsk.’

The account posting the photo and text was a personal alt account that had been exposing Rong Zhi’s scandals lately.

Not long ago, it was also this person who disclosed about her questionable lifestyle.

The company employees were gossiping in the group chat, and as soon as this message was refreshed, a planning department employee responded.

[Not just leaving early, I also saw how close he is with his secretary. Isn’t office romance prohibited by our company? Isn’t he slapping his own face with this?]

[Wow, now that you mention it, the day Secretary Bai came back, she was wearing Rong Zhi’s coat. Who would believe they’re not involved?]

[There’s a reward for reporting office romances. Is anyone going to try it?]

Even if the emperor breaks the law, commoners face the same punishment. No matter what, Rong Zhi is working at the Rong Family now, so she must follow company rules. Besides, there’s no office romance, leaving early is clearly proven. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

So someone stepped up—

[I’m going, I’m going; the planning department is so busy yet he’s out there wandering, truly not showing any ambition, someone like this staying in the company is just freeloading, I’m sending a complaint letter to President Rong now.]
