Chapter 136: Chapter 124

First, they sent Ying Yunlin back to the hotel, and then Rong Zhi went to take Bai Su back to Tingshan Villa. But when passing by Huqing District, Bai Su suddenly started coughing.

He blinked and said in a hoarse voice, "Little brother, I might not be fully recovered."

Rong Zhi parked the car by the roadside and glanced at him, then reached out and opened the glove compartment in front of him.

Bai Su looked down.

He saw that the glove compartment was divided into two sections. The left side was filled with blue cigarette packs, printed with a string of English letters. He recognized it as a rather niche cigarette brand from M Country, which only made mixed-type cigarettes with a strong flavor and punch.

The right side was filled with colorful lollipops.

The boy’s cold, white-as-jade fingers casually picked out two lollipops and handed them to him, "One before bed, one after breakfast."

Bai Su refocused, pursed his lips, and sighed, "Alright."

Rong Zhi: "..."

Was he feeling wronged for getting candy?

She couldn’t be bothered with Bai Su and was about to close the glove compartment when a hand pressed on it, and a finger deftly hooked a pack of cigarettes out.

"Little brother," Bai Su lightly shook the cigarette pack between two fingers, his peach blossom eyes slightly curved, exuding a carefree charm, "Can I have a pack of these?"

Rong Zhi started the car, "As you wish."

Last time at the hospital, he finished hers, so naturally, she had no objection to him taking some.

Bai Su chuckled softly, a dark shade flitting across his eyes.

The next day.

Rong Zhi got up early to go to school to find Yu Nian to sign the leave slip and conveniently had this month’s leave slips all signed.

She was going to start working at the Rong Family company from this week, estimated to continue until the New Year. She decided to take a leave in advance and come back only when she needed to take exams.

It was due to her special status and excellent grades, along with a guarantee of finishing each exam in the top five of the grade, that Yu Nian finally agreed.

Walking out of the office, Rong Zhi intended to go to Class Two to get some things. Just as she reached the classroom door, a figure hurriedly ran down the stairs, shouting, "Rong Zhi!"

Rong Zhi turned back, "Mr. Li."

"You brat, taking quick steps with those long legs." Old Li, usually a stern and serious figure, was now panting heavily, leaning on the railing, his eyes fixed on the young man, "Coming to class?"

He had just finished a class in Class One and was heading back to the office when he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. Afraid he might have been mistaken, he instinctively chased over. She was walking fast, and if it wasn’t for Class Two being right there, he might not have caught up.

Rong Zhi: "No, I’m here for leave."

Old Li was short of breath: "Cough cough... Another leave?!"

Rong Zhi responded lazily, "Mm."

Old Li’s eyes widened, full of disappointment, "Look at you, always asking for leave. What if you can’t keep up with your studies?!"

Before Rong Zhi could speak, he continued rapidly as if firing a machine gun, "I don’t care, there is a city competition this Thursday, and you must participate no matter what. It doesn’t matter how well you do, participating is the most important!"

Then he shoved a bunch of test papers into Rong Zhihuai’s arms and turned away quickly, giving Rong Zhi no chance to refuse.

After Old Li walked away, Rong Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly.

She merely wanted to suggest he change his medication after seeing his improvement, but it was misunderstood.

She decided to bring it up next time.

Holding the test papers, she pushed open the classroom door.

-

After packing her books, Rong Zhi couldn’t refuse Ying Hengyu’s request to sign a dozen pages of his notebooks. Finally, unable to tolerate it, she kicked him aside and left the school with an indifferent expression.

When she arrived, she opened the office door and smelled a strong aroma of tea. She walked over and put down her bag, only to see the desk neatly tidy, with a steaming cup of milk tea placed beside some documents. There was a fluffy cushion added to the otherwise stiff chair.

Touching the mug’s wall, judging by the temperature, the tea must have just been put down not long ago.

She unlocked her phone and opened WeChat, and sure enough, saw a message from Bai Tingxun.

Bai Tingxun: [Good morning, boss. I noticed yesterday that your chair is too hard, which might not be good for your back if you sit for too long, so I got you a cushion.]

Two minutes later, another message came.

Bai Tingxun: [But if you don’t like it, feel free to throw it away, and I’ll replace the chair for you?]

... Are interns these days so unguarded around their superiors?

If she were truly a boss who exploited employees, Bai Tingxun’s actions could easily be viewed as currying favor unnecessarily, perhaps even giving the impression of being overzealous and presumptuous in the eyes of a superior.

Rong Zhi casually tapped on the screen: [Mm.]

After replying to the message, she picked up a file from the desk and left the office to find Rong Yun.
