You Tong was startled, thinking that Hu Die might just want to thank her, and she was best at makeup and so on, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay, I don't know much about this anyway, so I'll bother you then."
"Then it's settled." Hu Die finalized the promise.
You Tong smiled silently, lowered his head and poured himself a glass of water, then left the tea room and returned to his seat to start his afternoon work.
Hu Die lingered inside for a while. After a while, he slowly walked out with a cup of coffee in one hand, placed one cup on You Tong's table, and said softly, "I'm sorry to bother you."
You Tong looked up in surprise, and it took her a while to realize that her cup of coffee should be for Rong Chen.
You Tong nodded slightly towards Hu Die, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Hu Die turned back to her seat, sorted out the documents and went out to the bank. As soon as she left, Liu Fang and Gao Wenya who were next to her immediately came over and asked gossiping, "You Tong, what's going on between you and Hu Die?
Where’s the mystery?!”
"It's nothing." You Tong replied lightly.
"How could it be nothing? You two definitely have a secret!"
secret?!
You Tong was suddenly startled, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, who doesn't have secrets?
Turning his head to look in the direction of the director's office, You Tong gently slid his chair, moved it back, then stood up, carefully picked up the coffee and walked over.
In the office, Rong Chen was working hard. When he saw her, he quickly raised his head, put down the documents in his hands, and looked at her with a smile.
After taking the coffee, he took a sip and frowned unconsciously, "Why does it taste wrong?!"
You Tong deliberately pretended to be surprised, "Really?!"
Rong Chen curled his lips childishly, "It's not as good as before." As if aggrieved, he took another sip, and then frowned again.
You Tong caught a glimpse of such an expression on his handsome face and couldn't help but smile to himself, raising the corners of his lips but saying nothing.
The sun shone on her face, making her smile look even more heartwarming.
Rong Chen looked at her intently with gentle eyes, and suddenly said quietly, "Are you free tonight?!"
You Tong was suddenly startled and nodded suspiciously.
After getting off work, Rong Chen left the office early and stood at the elevator door waiting for her. You Tong didn't want him to wait too long, so she quickly organized the files, backed them up, turned off the computer, grabbed her bag and left her seat.
At her insistence, they took the elevator separately and met downstairs.
Rong Chen's exclusive elevator was naturally faster. After he came downstairs, he leaned in a corner and waited for You Tong with his arms folded.
It was time to get off work, and people were coming and going in the lobby on the first floor, all in a hurry, but Rong Chen's presence was still so strong. As soon as he appeared, he attracted countless eyes, and he stood beside him waiting for someone.
This made people even more curious, but he was always thinking about something and didn't notice it.
After You Tong got out of the employee elevator, he immediately stepped forward to greet her and said in a gentle voice, "Let's go."
"Yes." You Tong nodded and walked out with him.
On the way, the two of them talked from time to time. There was nothing serious, they were just chatting casually, but they seemed more comfortable and invisible.
However, they had no idea that such normalized behavior would also cause an uproar.

A week later, rumors about the two people in the company had already spread. It was time for employees to get off work again, and there was a lot of discussion in the hall.
"Hey, is Secretary You from the Finance Department in a relationship with Master Rong?!"
"No way?!"
"Why not? I worked overtime one day and saw them on a date at the coffee shop opposite the company!"
"Really?!"
"Of course it's true. Can I make money by lying to you?!"
"But how could Rong Chen fall in love with that kind of ordinary woman?!"
"Actually, it's not very ordinary, at least it's much prettier than us!"
"Go! You will have other people's ambitions! But... I seem to have heard that Rong Chen specifically asked the head of the public relations department to take more care of her because of her affairs. Everyone knows that Rong Chen has always been able to distinguish between public and private matters. Before, he could
There has never been any scandal with a female employee of the company!”
"Is this the so-called love that lasts for a long time?!" said the envious person.
"It's better to get the moon first when you're near the water!" the jealous person said again.
You Tong didn't know when she appeared in the crowd. Although she didn't listen to the entire speech, she listened to about half of it, but her expression was indifferent, as if she was not the main character being discussed.
The exclusive elevator dinged, and the elevator doors slowly opened to both sides. Rong Chen's tall figure suddenly appeared, and everyone immediately shut up.
He sensitively sensed something was wrong, turned around and saw the small figure in the crowd. Although she was so calm, he really wanted to... protect her.
As if aware of Rong Chen's gaze, You Tong suddenly raised her head and met his gaze in the air. Seeing that he was about to come over, she silently shook her head.
Rong Chen was stunned and paused. Suddenly, there was a vibrating sound from his mobile phone in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was a text message, with four simple words - Those who purify themselves will purify themselves.
He looked up at the crowd again, only to find that the small figure had disappeared.
Suddenly, the four words "the pure will themselves be pure" became heavy. She could be magnanimous, but he could not.

You Tong left the company building and walked to the bus stop as usual. He was about to get on a bus when he suddenly received a call from Rong Yuchi.
Looking at the constantly jumping caller ID on the screen of her mobile phone, she subconsciously tightened her grip on the phone, and her nerves became uncontrollably tense. She could be frank with anyone, but she couldn't be frank with him.
He gently slid his finger towards the green answer button, pressed it, slowly moved the phone to his left ear, and whispered, "Hello..."
