Miss Rong, can we go skiing?

He asked, "Do you know that woman?"

Upon hearing him ask about Rong Ci, Lin Wu's hand, which was typing on the keyboard, tightened slightly.

Rong Ci was indeed beautiful.

When Ren Jifeng asked this question, she instinctively thought he might be interested in Rong Ci. But then she remembered the things she had heard at the auction and Ren Jifeng's attitude toward her, and she realized she had misunderstood.

With a neutral expression, she replied, "I don't know her. Why?"

Ren Jifeng glanced at Rong Ci and Yu Moxun, then said, "She seems quite capable, from the way she's talking to Yu Moxun?"

Lin Wu answered indifferently, "I'm not sure, but I heard she only has an undergraduate degree."

"Only an undergraduate degree?"

"Mm."

That explained it.

She didn't have a higher degree than Lin Wu, and she wasn't as charismatic as Lin Wu. It made sense that she'd be worried about Yu Moxun being taken away.

She was nervous about Yu Moxun, concerned he might be taken from her, which Ren Jifeng could understand. But when she saw Lin Wu was better than her, and became hostile toward Lin Wu, constantly thinking other women were trying to flirt with her boyfriend—it was rather childish.

Thinking this way, Ren Jifeng's indifference toward Rong Ci turned into mild dislike.

Yu Moxun had some free time and glanced over at Ren Jifeng and Lin Wu through the glass window in the meeting room.

After watching for a while, he leaned over to Rong Ci and mumbled, "Does Ren Jifeng like Lin Wu?"

Rong Ci was busy processing some data and paused for a second before realizing who he was referring to. She answered with a nonchalant tone, "I guess so."

She didn't care much about this matter. After answering, she pulled Yu Moxun back to focus on work and told him not to gossip.

After all, the sooner they finished, the sooner they could leave.

Yu Moxun smirked, "What a perspective."

He passed judgment but didn't continue to gossip.

Ren Jifeng saw Yu Moxun looking their way and assumed he was looking at Lin Wu. He also assumed that Rong Ci frowned and pulled Yu Moxun away because she was upset that he kept staring at Lin Wu.

Lin Wu encountered a small issue and stopped.

She wanted to ask Yu Moxun for advice but found that both Yu Moxun and the technical staff from Xindu were listening attentively to Rong Ci.

From the looks of it, one might think Rong Ci was a highly skilled professional.

Seeing this, she looked away.

Rong Ci and Yu Moxun worked hard until around 5 PM, finally wrapping things up.

The contract between Zongxing and Xindu was also finalized.

President Jin invited Rong Ci and Yu Moxun into the meeting room to take a break and have some water.

Seeing that Ren Jifeng and the others had finished their work, he said, "It's getting late. How about we have dinner together?"

Ren Jifeng's heart skipped a beat as he looked at Lin Wu.

Lin Wu seemed not to notice his gaze and said, "Sorry, Ting Shen will be picking me up from Feng's company soon. We have other plans, so I won't be joining. Enjoy your meal."

Upon hearing that Lin Wu wouldn't be going, Ren Jifeng immediately felt that the dinner was no longer appealing and said, "I still have things to do. Maybe next time."

Lin Wu wasn't surprised by Ren Jifeng's response. Her expression didn't change.

The more Yu Moxun observed, the more he felt that Ren Jifeng was interested in Lin Wu.

He also noticed that Ren Jifeng only didn't want to go because Lin Wu wasn't going.

Since both Ren Jifeng and Lin Wu had declined, President Jin felt a bit awkward and asked Yu Moxun, "President Yu, what about you?"

Yu Moxun raised his cup of tea and clinked it with Rong Ci's, smiling, "We're free, right, Xiao Ci?"

Rong Ci knew he was subtly mocking Ren Jifeng and nodded, "Mm."

Lin Wu noticed that Yu Moxun was genuinely nice to Rong Ci.

She furrowed her brows.

Although Ren Jifeng and Lin Wu didn't have time for dinner, their work was done, so they followed Rong Ci and Yu Moxun downstairs to leave Xindu.

At that moment, Lin Wu received a call.

After hanging up the phone, she said, "Ting Shen is almost here. I'll go with you."

When they reached the first floor, Feng Ting Shen was already waiting downstairs.

Seeing them, he got out of the car and greeted Ren Jifeng and Yu Moxun.

He glanced at Rong Ci but didn't speak to her.

Lin Wu, however, stood next to him as he got out of the car.

The two of them really looked like a couple.

While Ren Jifeng was chatting with Feng Ting Shen, Yu Moxun curled his lips and said indifferently, "President Feng, we made dinner plans, so we'll head out first."

Feng Ting Shen nodded, "Take care, President Yu."

Yu Moxun and Rong Ci left first.

After having dinner with President Jin, Rong Ci drove home.

As soon as she arrived, she received a call from He Changbo.

Rong Ci paused and answered, "President He."

"The contract has been signed," He Changbo said. "You can call your uncle to confirm. Once you confirm, give me a call."

Before she could reply, he hung up.

Rong Ci didn't expect He Changbo to act so quickly.

However, she didn't fully trust He Changbo.

She thought for a moment and then called her uncle, Rong Changsheng: "Uncle, is the company collaborating with the He family on a project?"

"Yes," Rong Changsheng was very happy about the progress at the company, but he also found it a bit strange. "How did you find out about this?"

"I heard it from someone," Rong Ci casually brushed it off. She then asked him a few more questions before hanging up and immediately calling He Changbo.

He Changbo picked up the phone instantly.

Rong Ci said, "I'm free on Saturday and Sunday."

He Changbo replied, "Alright. Do you want to arrange the exact time, or should I?"

"You arrange it."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Rong Ci went into the bathroom to take a shower. Seeing that it was still early, she decided to check the latest news in the AI field around the world.

The next morning.

She had a simple breakfast and was about to head out when He Changbo called again: "Last night, I discussed with Dandan. She said she wants to go skiing. Miss Rong, can you ski?"

Rong Ci: "I can."

He Changbo: "Do you need me to prepare skiing gear for you?"

"No need, I'll buy it myself."

"Alright, see you on Saturday."

"Mm."

After hanging up, Rong Ci went to the company.

At 5 PM, Feng Jingxin called and said he wanted to eat her cooking.

Rong Ci went over in the evening.

Feng Ting Shen wasn't home, as he had gone on a business trip.

Rong Ci stayed overnight.

The next morning, before sending Feng Jingxin to school, she remembered her plans to go skiing with Dandan on Saturday and took the skiing gear she had left behind at Feng Ting Shen's place to avoid buying new equipment later.

Seeing this, Feng Jingxin asked, "Mom, are you going skiing?"

"Mm, in a few days."

Feng Jingxin: "I want to go too!"

Although she had only spent half a day at the ski resort with Lin Wu and the others earlier, she hadn't had enough fun yet!
