The caption read: "Miss is fine, Mr. Rong, please check."
Rong Mo, who was engrossed in a meeting, saw a message from Wei Qiao and, fearing something might have happened to Shen Zhi Qiu, quickly picked up his phone and opened the message.
Rong Mo looked at the message, then zoomed in on the picture. His brows instantly relaxed, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Before leaving, he instructed Wei Qiao to report on Shen Zhi Qiu's situation to him every hour. Just an hour later, he received a message from Wei Qiao.
"Based on the compiled data, our sales figures for this quarter are..."
The male employee who was making a PowerPoint presentation in front of the screen suddenly stopped, and the other employees present also looked at Rong Mo with some surprise.
This was the first time they had seen Rong Mo smile while they were working, and such a sweet smile at that.
As soon as Rong Mo left the meeting room after the meeting, everyone went wild.
"Does President Rong have a girlfriend?"
"Yes, look at his smile, it's so sweet!"
"Aaaaaah, who is it? I'm so curious!"
"Don't even think about it, there's no chance for us!"
......
Everyone chattered excitedly, filled with curiosity about Rong Mo's "girlfriend."
"alright!"
Marketing manager Yuan Mengjie slammed the folder in her hand on the table, stood up, and coldly reprimanded, "Isn't anyone doing anything? It's still working hours. The company pays you salaries, not so you can sit here gossiping! Go do what you're supposed to be doing!"
Everyone awkwardly shut their mouths and left the meeting room with their own laptops.
The moment the door closed, everyone started complaining all at once.
"Tch, who does she think she is? She's not our department head, yet she's so nosy!" Xu Ping, a new post-00s employee in the advertising department, grumbled discontentedly.
"Oh dear, you haven't been here long, so you don't know. She's had a crush on our CEO Rong ever since she joined the company. You haven't noticed, have you? Whenever CEO Rong is around, her eyes are always glued to him!"
"Oh? Really?!"
"Hahahaha, you're still too young! Look at how furious she was just now, she's just jealous and throwing a tantrum because she found out that President Rong has a girlfriend!"
"Hey, keep your voice down, don't let her hear. After all, she was brought into the company by President Rong, and he trusts her a lot!" a long-time employee whispered a reminder.
"Oh? Really? I don't think President Rong treats her any differently?"
The veteran employee shook his head. "Haven't you noticed? Although President Rong is very strict with her at work, he treats her quite well. After all, she was his classmate when he was studying abroad. I heard that after President Rong returned to China, he started his own business, and that's when he recruited her with a high salary."
Xu Ping clicked her tongue, "Okay, but I just can't stand the way she acts, like she thinks she's the boss's wife!"
"Forget it, let's go, let's get to work. These things are not for us to worry about."
Inside the meeting room, Yuan Mengjie sat in her seat with a tense expression. She had heard everything that had been said outside the door, and those mocking voices felt like a slap across her face.
Yes, from the very first day she met Rong Mo, she was deeply attracted to this tall, handsome, and erudite man.
She excelled academically from a young age, and after graduating from university, she went abroad to study on a full scholarship.
On her first day of school, she rushed to the school after exiting the subway station, but in her haste, she went to the wrong entrance of the teaching building. When she finally found her way back, she was even more anxious. After glancing at the door number, she opened the door on the first floor and rushed in.
Unexpectedly, they bumped right into Rong Mo, who was going downstairs to buy coffee at the cafeteria.
She crashed into him hard, and the documents in Rong Mo's hands fell to the ground.
"I'm so sorry." Yuan Mengjie apologized subconsciously, squatted down, and hurriedly picked up the documents.
What came into view was a pair of long, strong hands. Yuan Mengjie looked up and saw an Asian face.
Rong Mo glanced at her and said indifferently, "It's alright."
Seeing Rong Mo in his black suit, exuding an indescribable air of nobility, Yuan Mengjie was immediately attracted to the man before her.
He lowered his head slightly, intently picking up the documents. Sunlight streamed through the first-floor windows, illuminating him and highlighting the smooth lines of his sharply defined face. His thick eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his long eyelashes looked particularly beautiful in the sunlight.
Yuan Mengjie was stunned for a while before realizing her lapse in composure, and then whispered, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Yuan Mengjie organized the documents in her hand and handed them to Rong Mo. She lowered her head slightly, and her gaze fell on the first page of the document, which read: "Mo Rong".
Rong Mo coldly took the documents from Yuan Mengjie's hand, nodded slightly, and then walked towards the door.
"Hey, my name is Yuan Mengjie." Yuan Mengjie mustered her courage and called out to Rong Mo's back.
"Mm." Rong Mo, with his back to her, responded softly, then strode towards the cafeteria.
Upon entering the classroom, Yuan Mengjie hurriedly found an empty seat, placed her bag aside, and looked around. She was the only Asian face in the class, which made her feel somewhat disappointed and worried.
Ten minutes later, the classroom door was pushed open.
Everyone thought it was the teacher and looked towards the door.
But it was Rong Mo who pushed open the door and entered.
The tall and slender Rong Mo became the center of attention as soon as he stepped into the classroom.
Rong Mo held a cup of coffee in his left hand, his eyes scanning the classroom. He immediately spotted the only Asian face and the only empty seat next to Yuan Mengjie.
Rong Mo frowned slightly, then calmly walked towards Yuan Mengjie.
Yuan Mengjie pursed her lips, silently removed her bag from the empty seat, her heart filled with joy.
That's how the two met.
Much later, after the two had become more familiar with each other, Rong Mo was surprised to learn that Yuan Mengjie had also enrolled with a full scholarship. His gaze towards Yuan Mengjie held a hint of admiration. Before he arrived, he had heard that there were two people in the entire department with full scholarships, but he never expected it to be the impetuous Yuan Mengjie he had just met.
Both of them had a strong sense of admiration for others, and coupled with the mutual respect between academic high-achievers, they gradually became close friends in a foreign land.
However, to Rong Mo, they were simply good friends.
But in Yuan Mengjie's heart, there was still a secret crush.
A sudden knock on the door interrupted Yuan Mengjie's reverie.
"Please come in," Yuan Mengjie said softly, having composed herself.
"Manager Yuan, I'm sorry, our department has to hold a routine meeting..." the person said apologetically to Yuan Mengjie.
"Okay, I'm leaving anyway." Yuan Mengjie packed her things and headed towards her office.
