Rongrong could tell that she was deliberately creating a false impression; she only needed to suffer this kind of loss once.
"I don't know you well, so I won't tell you why I'm here."
"..."
Zeng Lanni's expression changed, and she pretended to be sad, saying, "Rongrong, I always thought we were good friends. So you didn't think that way after all?"
Rongrong replied decisively: "No, it's not."
Zeng Lanni: "…………"
The receptionist almost burst out laughing, but thankfully she managed to hold it in.
"Rongrong, you've changed so much! I bet your classmates wouldn't recognize you if they saw you like this." Zeng Lanni continued to put on a one-woman show.
Rongrong didn't say anything.
She kept looking in the direction of the elevator.
Then one of the elevator doors opened, and Ji Kong stepped out.
Zeng Lanni also saw Ji Kong. Knowing that he was Ji Mingjing's bodyguard, she immediately abandoned Rongrong and went forward with a joyful expression.
"I knew it was Brother Mingjing..."
Before Zeng Lanni could finish speaking, Ji Kong bypassed her and walked towards Rongrong behind her.
Zeng Lanni watched this scene in shock.
His face turned pale and then flushed.
In an instant, Zeng Lanni clenched her fists tightly and glared angrily at Rongrong.
Ji Kong walked up to Rongrong and gestured for her to come along: "Miss Rongrong, please come with me." With that, he pulled her suitcase toward the president's private elevator.
Rongrong followed him toward the elevator.
Zeng Lanni coldly watched Rongrong's retreating figure, and a sense of resentment compelled her to chase after her.
“Rongrong, we haven’t finished talking yet. Perfect timing, I’m going up too, let’s go together!” Zeng Lanni was determined to stick with Rongrong, confident that she wouldn’t refuse her in front of Ji Kong.
But to my utter surprise...
Rongrong said expressionlessly, "I'm not familiar with you, so we have nothing to say to each other."
Zeng Lanni was stunned.
Ji Kong stopped her, saying, "Miss Zeng, please go back."
Zeng Lanni glanced at him, then at Rongrong, and ultimately decided not to force her way in. She smiled and said, "Could you please tell Brother Mingjing that I'm waiting for his call? Thank you."
After saying that, she turned and left without any hesitation.
Ji Kong inwardly cried out in disbelief, and quickly looked at Rongrong's expression, explaining, "Miss Rongrong, the patriarch has no relation to her and has never been in contact with her."
Rongrong looked away: "Let's go."
Hmm. Does this mean he believes her or not? With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Ji Kong led her into the president's private elevator.
The front desk manager saw this and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
This was the first time he had ever seen a woman ride in the CEO's private elevator!
Who is that?
“I heard Ji Kong call her Miss Rongrong.”
Upon hearing this, the front desk manager knew who it was.
No wonder they can ride in their own private elevator.
A private elevator leads directly to the president's office. When it opens, the president's office will issue a notification sound. Ji Mingjing looked up at the direction of the elevator and narrowed his eyes slightly.
A ding sound.
The elevator doors opened, and unsurprisingly, Ji Kong was there.
"Master of the family."
Ji Kong forced a smile and said ingratiatingly, "Miss Rongrong is here."
He moved two steps to the side, allowing Miss Rongrong to come into the head of the family's view.
Ji Mingjing's face darkened, and his thin lips pressed into a straight line.
Ji Kong's anxiety was magnified tenfold in an instant.
Rongrong saw Ji Mingjing's expression change, but still stepped out of the elevator and politely greeted him: "Patriarch Ji, hello."
Ji Mingjing raised an eyebrow: "You've gone back to Xizhou City to develop your career?"
Rongrong shook her head: "No, I came to find you."
That was a great direct shot! Ji Kong stood in the elevator, enjoying the gossip about the family head and his future wife.
Unfortunately, the elevator doors slowly closed, and he could see nothing anymore.
A hint of surprise flashed in Ji Mingjing's eyes, but he looked at her calmly and asked, "What do you want with me?"
Rongrong walked to the sofa on her own and asked instead of answering, "May I sit here?"
"Do as you please." Ji Mingjing couldn't understand why she came, since her behavior today didn't match the personality described in the information.
After Rongrong sat down, she answered his question: "Hua Rong Ju was vandalized and needs to be renovated for half a month. I have nowhere to stay, so I came back to see how your recovery is going."
A glint of light flashed in Ji Mingjing's narrow eyes as he said calmly, "You see, he has recovered very well."
The implication was that she could leave.
Rongrong understood. If it were before, she would have really left. Now, she stared straight at him and asked, "Does the Ji family still have a room for me?"
Ji Mingjing scoffed lightly: "The house hasn't been renovated, so it's not like they would tear down your room."
Rongrong smiled, stood up and said, "Then I won't disturb your work. I'll go back and wait for you."
After saying that, she walked towards the elevator.
"??"
Ji Mingjing stared at her retreating figure with a complicated expression. Just as the elevator doors opened, he suddenly spoke up: "Don't go yet, get me a cup of coffee."
Rongrong turned around and met his deep and indifferent gaze.
"good."
Rongrong put down her handbag and looked around: "Where do we make the coffee?"
Ji Mingjing, with her head down reading the documents, replied without looking up, "Outside to the tea room."
Outside, in the tea room?
Rongrong stared at the door of the president's office, hesitating to make a move.
Not hearing any footsteps, Ji Mingjing looked up at her: "Is there a problem?"
Rongrong's eyes flickered, and she turned to look at him: "Would you like some sugar?"
Ji Mingjing narrowed his eyes: "You've never done this before?"
Before she could answer, he said coolly, "Just add milk."
"oh."
Rongrong walked to the door, took a deep breath, opened the door, and went out.
