The Undercover Heir is Actually Tycoon's Secret Girlfriend-Chapter 141 - 125_3
Rong Zhi casually said "oh", instinctively trying to reach for a cigarette, only to remember that the cigarette box had fallen when she dragged Rong Fengmian for a scolding.
She nonchalantly withdrew her hand, instead pulling out her phone to respond to messages.
"Hey there, mister."
"Doesn’t it bother you to call me something different every time?"
"Nope," Bai Su laughed with a hint of roguish charm, "Actually, I want to call you something else, but I’m not sure if you’ll agree."
Rong Zhi remained expressionless, "I don’t agree, don’t mention it."
Who knows, if she said yes, what kind of ridiculous nickname he might come up with.
Bai Su drawled slowly, sounding a bit wistful, "Alright then, I wanted to get a little advantage, but now there’s no chance."
Rong Zhi promptly smacked him in the face with her phone.
Bai Su skillfully blocked it, raising an amused eyebrow.
Ah, does annoying her count as his talent?

Rong Zhi had research to do that night.
Once she got home and showered, she went into the lab, leaving Bai Su alone in the living room reading a book.
The lab was a bit cooler than the outside room; she wore a thin white coat, put on gloves, and was just picking up a petri dish when her phone suddenly rang.
She casually swiped to answer.
Rong Fangjun’s voice came through.
"Hey, kiddo," his tone was quite excited, probably something good had happened, "Rong Yun told me you finished reviewing and revising the Rong Family’s financial statements for the last two years in just a couple of days?"
Rong Zhi took out the petri dish, placed it under the microscope, and replied nonchalantly.
"That’s my grandchild for you, impressive!" Rong Fangjun praised loudly, clearly proud, then his tone shifted to another matter, "Since you’ve done that, there’s not much to learn from your uncle, how about moving to the planning department and working with your brother on the planning cases."
Rong Zhi paused, "Actually, there’s still a lot."
"But you’ve already read through the financial reports."
And in just two days, her ability far surpasses Rong Qichuo’s.
Keep in mind, Rong Qichuo was raised by him and Rong Xian’an from a young age, always learning business management, but when he initially joined the company, it took him almost half a month to understand the operations of the finance department and take charge.
How long has Rong Zhi been there?
She’s been there just a few days, not only has she subdued the finance department, but rumors about her are all over the company.
Isn’t her impact bigger than when Rong Qichuo joined the company?
Rong Fangjun was very comforted, believing he shouldn’t let Rong Zhi be wasted in the finance department, he must place her in the planning or design department to fully showcase her strength and let her shine.
Rong Fangjun also had personal motives.
He wanted to create more opportunities for Rong Zhi while he was still alive, so that when he passed away, no one in the Rong Family would dare to bully her, and also, he wanted to tighten the bond between Rong Zhi and the Rong Family.
Only by tying Rong Zhi to the Rong Family, making her feel a sense of belonging, could he feel at ease.
Rong Fangjun made the decision promptly and didn’t give Rong Zhi a chance to refuse, cheerfully reminded her to report to the planning department the next day, and then hung up.
Rong Zhi lowered her head slightly.
She sighed, almost imperceptible.
Isn’t she being forced into a situation she wasn’t prepared for?
She set her phone to Do Not Disturb mode and tossed it aside, focusing on her work.
Bai Su finished reading a book about acupoint therapy, with the basic knowledge points etched in his mind, he carefully pondered the corresponding ailments for each acupoint explained in the book, wanting to thoroughly research the knowledge within it.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the table; a set of car keys was sprawled open on it.
Those had been casually tossed by the young man.
He withdrew his gaze, remained silent for a while.
He placed the medical book down, leaned over and gently picked up the car keys.
When Rong Zhi finished her work and came out to get a drink, she passed through the living room and noticed the man still engrossed in his book.
The lighting wasn’t too bright, casting a soft halo over his dark hair; with his jacket removed, only a creamy white sweater remained, sitting quietly there, his lazy demeanor instantly transformed, giving off a gentle and dignified aura.
She slightly squinted her eyes.
Bai Su suddenly looked up, seeing her, the corner of his eyebrows rose slightly, he lightly smiled and asked, "Done with work?"
His smile made the light in his eyes ripple like water, with warmth and tenderness, as dazzling as a starry sky.
Rong Zhi: "No."
She took a cup and filled it with hot water.
Bai Su nodded, "Hungry? I’ll go buy some groceries, what do you want to..."
His words abruptly stopped.
Those peach blossom eyes squinted slightly, with a trace of coldness amidst the warmth.
Rong Zhi didn’t mind his pause, a bit surprised, "You can cook?"
Bai Su’s smile faded, he lazily gestured to her, his attractive and elegant eyes fixed on her, "A bit, come over here and see what you want to eat first."
