Chapter 609: Cannot Bully

But—

Feng Tingshen had other matters to attend to.

After finishing the meal, he had his driver take Lin Wu and Ye Qiuyu home, then left first.

In the car, Ye Qiuyu looked at Lin Wu and asked, “Has Rong Ci been bullying you again?”

At the recent AI technology conference, they had spoken, but with so many people around, they never had a chance to talk alone.

Now was a good opportunity.

Lin Wu’s gaze darkened slightly as she said, “Aside from matters related to Changmo, she lacks the power to bully me.”

Hearing this, Ye Qiuyu assumed Lin Wu looked down on Rong Ci’s behavior and thought that even if Rong Ci had achieved some success through underhanded tactics, she was still nothing without Changmo or Yu Moxun.

She simply didn’t take Rong Ci seriously at all.

But Ye Qiuyu’s heart sank.

The fact that she didn’t take Rong Ci seriously meant… she probably didn’t even know about Rong Ci’s relationship with Feng Tingshen.

She had underestimated Rong Ci’s shamelessness, never imagining she would dare to lay claim to Feng Tingshen too.

Lin Wu noticed his hesitation and didn’t understand what he wanted to say; she asked, “What’s wrong?”

Ye Qiuyu fell silent, hesitated, then finally found his voice: “Nothing. I just feel that every time I see her now, she seems so smug—I think she might be even more despicable than we thought, and I’m worried she’ll find other ways to hurt you.”

To Feng Shi.

During afternoon tea, the Feng Shi engineers collaborating with Zongxing, along with Zongxing staff sent to Feng Shi to handle work, all went to Rong Ci’s side to listen as she explained various issues to others.

Ye Qiuyu did not go.

As afternoon tea was about to end, the Zongxing employees returned, all praising Rong Ci.

“We’d barely started explaining, and Miss Rong immediately saw the core of our problem—no wonder she’s Master Yu’s genius girlfriend, so incredible! I’ve never met anyone this brilliant! Turns out, the gap between people can be this wide!”

"Exactly! Master Yu and Miss Rong are truly a match of genius to genius—perfect together!" He glanced at Ye Qiuyu, who sat silently staring at her computer, and added, "Qiuyu, you really missed out by not going!"

“Absolutely!”

Hearing this, Ye Qiuyu’s eyes flickered with disdain; seeing those around her also deceived by Rong Ci, her grip on the mouse tightened until veins bulged with anger, yet she said nothing.

…

After several days of constant work, on Friday night, Rong Ci returned home, rested for one night, and the next morning, Feng Jingxin called, saying she wanted to go out with Rong Ci that day.

Rong Ci paused, then asked, “Does your father not have time?”

On the other end of the line, Feng Jingxin said matter-of-factly, “Dad’s coming with us.”

Before Rong Ci could respond, Feng Jingxin added, “But Dad has other things to do in the afternoon—he’ll join us for lunch, then won’t be able to stay.”

Hearing this, Rong Ci assumed Feng Tingshen didn’t really want to have lunch with her, but had reluctantly agreed because Feng Jingxin insisted.

Thinking this, she replied, “Alright, I understand.”

“Great, then Dad and I will come pick you up now.”

As Feng Jingxin was about to happily hang up, Rong Ci said, “No need, Xinxin—I’ll drive over myself.”

Hearing this, Feng Jingxin didn’t press further: “Okay.”
