Chapter 27: Is This the New Trick Your Wife Has Come Up With to Win You Back?

After Ye Qiuyu left Changmo, he immediately called Lin Wu.

"Rong Ci has joined Changmo?" "Yeah," Ye Qiuyu found it strange. "You didn't know about this?" Hadn't Rong Ci replaced her at Changmo? "No." She had assumed that Yu Moxun's decision not to hire her was just a way to vent his anger for Rong Ci. If Rong Ci had gone to Changmo, did that mean she had already left Feng Corporation? Ye Qiuyu paused, "Then what was the personal reason you mentioned before?" Lin Wu didn't want to elaborate, "It's a private grudge." "But—" "What's wrong?" He realized he had misunderstood; his resignation had nothing to do with Lin Wu. Thinking of this, Ye Qiuyu couldn't help but ask, "How capable is Rong Ci? I heard she hasn't even obtained her Ph.D., she—" "She doesn't just lack a Ph.D.; she only has an undergraduate degree and never pursued a master's." "Really? Is that true?" "Yes." Speaking of this, Lin Wu sounded very cold. She hadn't expected Rong Ci to leave Feng Corporation. What surprised her even more was that after leaving, Rong Ci didn't think about furthering her studies but instead got a job elsewhere through connections... Undeniably, she truly lacked vision and ambition.

Ye Qiuyu asked, "Junior Sister Lin, what are your plans next?" "I have an official racing competition coming up soon, which requires a lot of practice time. I'll consider job opportunities later." "Oh, I see..." Ye Qiuyu knew Lin Wu could do everything. Sometimes he wondered how she managed to keep her professional knowledge sharp despite her many activities. But considering her excellence, he believed she had her reasons.

Meanwhile, at Feng Corporation: Feng Tingshen flipped through documents without looking up, telling Cheng Yuan, "Get me a cup of coffee." "Yes." This was Xu Xuenan's first time personally making coffee for Feng Tingshen. She felt both excited and nervous. Following the steps taught by Rong Ci, she carefully brewed the coffee. Cheng Yuan brought the coffee to Feng Tingshen. Feng Tingshen put down the documents, picked up the coffee, and stirred it lightly. Just as he was about to take a sip, he hesitated—the smell seemed off. He took a small sip anyway but quickly put it down, saying, "Have her make another one." Cheng Yuan was taken aback, "Yes." Xu Xuenan received the message and became anxious, "Make another one? Was it too much sugar or the taste was off? But I followed Rong Ci's instructions exactly, and the sugar amount was correct." "I'm not sure either." Xu Xuenan made another cup. Perhaps due to nervousness, this time Feng Tingshen didn't even try it—he simply smelled it and set it aside, asking Cheng Yuan, "What's going on?" "Secretary Xu might be nervous since it's her first time making coffee for you, so she didn't control the heat well..." Feng Tingshen frowned, "Secretary Xu? Who is Secretary Xu? Where is Rong Ci?" Cheng Yuan was stunned, "Rong Ci has already resigned from the company. Didn't you know?" Feng Tingshen remained silent. He indeed didn't know. Previously, he knew Cheng Yuan wanted to fire Rong Ci due to her work attitude, but— "When did she leave?" "Last Thursday." "I see." Though Rong Ci had left, it was likely temporary. Probably in no time, she would come back on her own.

Later that day, Yu Moxun went out for business dinners. Rong Ci ate alone in the company cafeteria. Her department colleagues were polite but not close. Rong Ci didn't mind. After lunch, she continued working. By around five in the afternoon, she approached Su Yuquan, "I've almost finished. Could you check it?" "What?" Su Yuquan looked at the content Rong Ci sent over, initially confused, but then his eyes widened in disbelief. "You... you've completed everything?" This was over ten days' worth of work for Ye Qiuyu! Not only had she figured everything out in less than a day, but she had also completed it all! Rong Ci nodded, "Yes." Su Yuquan was stunned, speechless. Moreover, he found that Rong Ci's work not only excelled but also provided new insights for his upcoming tasks. Others gathered around, shocked by what they learned. Recovering from their surprise, Su Yuquan looked at Rong Ci incredulously, "Are you really a graduate student?" Rong Ci paused, answering truthfully, "I haven't pursued a master's." "How is that possible?" With so many PhDs and master's students among them, how could they be surpassed by someone with just an undergraduate degree? "Why didn't you pursue a master's? Was there a financial issue?" But Rong Ci didn't seem like someone who couldn't afford education. Besides, given her professional capabilities, would tuition fees matter? Rong Ci lowered her eyes, "No, it was due to personal reasons." Smiling, she added, "If there's an opportunity in the future, I'll consider continuing my studies."

After chatting and helping several colleagues solve some work issues, Rong Ci left the office close to seven. As she exited, she saw Yu Moxun standing at the door, "On your first day, you've already dispelled everyone's prejudice and earned their recognition. Impressive." Rong Ci smiled, "Dinner on me?" Yu Moxun raised an eyebrow, "What else would I be waiting here for?" Rong Ci laughed and left with him. Twenty minutes later, at the restaurant, while ascending the stairs, a child ran towards her. To avoid a collision, she stepped back and stumbled. Just as she was about to fall, Yu Moxun reached out to steady her. Rong Ci sighed in relief, about to thank him when she noticed Feng Tingshen and Qi Yuming not far away. They also saw her. Feng Tingshen stopped. Qi Yuming raised an eyebrow. Rong Ci pursed her lips, avoiding their gaze, gently pushing Yu Moxun away. Yu Moxun, unaware of Feng Tingshen and Qi Yuming, asked concernedly, "Did you twist your ankle?" Rong Ci shook her head, "No." "That's good, let's go." "Yeah." Rong Ci didn't look back at Feng Tingshen and Qi Yuming, walking upstairs with Yu Moxun.

Seeing Rong Ci's reaction, Qi Yuming looked incredulous, "Was that your wife just now?" Feng Tingshen didn't respond. "She acted as if she didn't see us and got so close to Yu Moxun. Is this a new trick she's trying to win you back? To provoke your concern?" Before Feng Tingshen could respond, Qi Yuming chuckled, "She certainly thought it through." Feng Tingshen didn't reply, calmly saying, "Let's go."
