The intermittent and somewhat incoherent sounds made her feel uncomfortable even listening to them. You Tong clutched the phone tightly, her eyes burning fiercely.
On the other end of the phone, Rong Yuchi remained silent, as if he was deep in thought. After a while, he slowly spoke, with an infinite coldness in his voice, "I will return to Taipei at nine o'clock tonight, and you will pick me up."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
You Tong slowly lowered his hands, and a cold feeling shot up from the soles of his feet and spread all over his body. A feeling even worse than being scolded came to his heart.
Rong Chen hugged her shoulders comfortingly and whispered, "Okay, don't be sad. It was an accident. You made a mistake, but it was not a mistake. Just explain it clearly to him."
You Tong bit her lip, said nothing, and followed Rong Chen to meet with other colleagues in the company.
The bidding failed, and everyone was a little depressed. Rong Chen took a deep breath and tried to adjust the atmosphere, "Everyone goes back to the company first. I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight!"
The group of people got on the bus one after another, with You Tong walking at the back. The budget book in his hand had long been turned into a pile of waste paper and had no value at all.
"Rong Chen, I would like to take a day off, is it okay?!"
"sure."
"Thank you." She said gratefully.
Rong Chen shook his head and said a few more words, "Be careful, don't think too much about it, go back and take a shower and get some sleep, eh?!"
"Um."
After You Tong watched Rong Chen and others leave, he suddenly lost any strength and fell down on the steps. He wanted to cry but couldn't. He felt as wronged as a child.
"You Tong, what you plan for is up to man, and God is up to you. People have to accept their fate!" A sneering female voice hovered in his ears.
You Tong slowly raised his head and caught a glimpse of Li Jiaqi's pretty and proud face, so condescending, and she looked at him with such disdain.
You Tong clenched her fists, and her nails dug into her palms, which hurt her heart, but she didn't want to argue with her. There was no point in talking about it anymore.
He stood up and left quickly, his weak body disappearing in the distance.
"Li, Jia, Qi!" sounded slowly with a forbearing low voice, and Li Yuanhang walked from behind with striding steps.
Li Jiaqi looked back and smiled, "Brother."
"I'm not your brother!" Li Yuanhang looked at her with a cold expression, his eyes no longer loving, "I don't have a sister who steals people's things!"
"Brother, what are you doing?! Our Li family won, aren't you happy?!"
"The Li family won, but you lost the dignity of the Li family!"
Li Yuanhang frowned and looked into the distance. The slender figure had long since disappeared, but it was lingering in his mind and tangled in his heart.

That night, the airport.
You Tong stood outside the gate, standing quietly with an uneasy heart.
She had been waiting for several hours, and her legs were numb from standing, but her heart felt worse than her legs. When she thought about facing Rong Yuchi, she felt that even breathing became difficult.
She knew better than anyone how important this project was, but she messed up. She didn't know how to face him.
However, what is supposed to come will eventually come. At nine o'clock sharp, the flight landed, and not long after, Rong Yuchi appeared. In the crowd, he was still so eye-catching.
You Tong's breathing tightened. She didn't know if the air conditioner in the airport lobby was turned on too low, and she suddenly shivered.
"Director..." When she walked towards him, the blood all over her body seemed to freeze, and she even heard the sound of her own teeth chattering.
Rong Yuchi stared at her, his stern face expressionless. He dragged his black suitcase and walked past her, as if he didn't see her, and walked straight towards the door.
Passed by.
You Tong froze in place, feeling embarrassed as if he had been abandoned.
When Rong Yuchi was almost out of the airport lobby, she suddenly came to her senses.
"Director! Please wait a moment!" You Tong hurriedly chased after her. Several sectors were separated by the glass revolving door. He and she looked at each other through the glass.
Rong Yuchi glanced at her coldly and gave her a cold and arrogant back.
Outside, the driver of the Rong family had been waiting for a long time. Rong Yuchi handed the suitcase to the driver and then made a show of getting in the car.
You Tong rushed over and wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it. He hurriedly grabbed his arm and said, "Director, I'm sorry. This incident is my fault alone. I am willing to accept the punishment. I
I am willing to take full responsibility, I..."
Before she finished speaking, he had already grabbed her hand away with force, and his movements were so disgusting.
You Tong raised his head in confusion and met his black eyes as cold as a deep pool. His cold male voice was as cold as ice, "I thought you wouldn't come."
She was stunned, "You asked me to pick you up at the airport, didn't you?!"
He snorted coldly and said quietly, "You should just resign."
Resign?!
You Tong was suddenly startled, why did he say that?!
She won't resign to escape responsibility!
Rong Yuchi's cold handsome face was chilly, and his tone was erratic and full of sarcasm, "You have made great contributions to Li Yuanhang this time. Do you still need to earn Rong's salary?!"
You Tong gasped, "You...you suspect that I deliberately leaked company secrets?!"
"Isn't it?!" His aggressive tone left no room for doubt.
You Tong's face turned paler, and his wide-open eyes gradually became hollow.
Rong Yuchi got into the car coldly, closed the door with a bang, and drove away.
"No...no...I didn't betray the company's secrets to anyone...I didn't..." You Tong murmured to himself, tears falling in the wind.
In the car driving away, Rong Yuchi had a calm expression and did not look sideways. He only glanced back silently when the car turned a corner.
In the distant sky, in the dark night, another plane flashed with light, passing over the sky overhead, and the thin figure behind it did not move for a long time.
