Chapter 525: Chapter 525: A Man Who Says One Thing but Means Another

"Hmm." Sang Li lowered his head to pick up some food with his chopsticks, "The end of the year is approaching, settling it before then is the most suitable. Do you have any questions?"

Lin Zhiyi squeezed her chopsticks, feeling a bit hesitant.

But Sang Li was right. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

The studio matters couldn’t be delayed, the longer it’s delayed, the more complications might arise.

"No problem, but I’m transitioning work these days, I’ll inform Third Young Master after returning."

"That’s fine."

Then, the two chatted casually while eating.

They were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn’t notice there were others sitting behind the partition not far away.

As Lin Zhiyi and Sang Li chatted, these two also started talking.

Gong Yao ate slowly, "Did you call me just to see this?"

Bai Ruoshu’s eyes were indifferent, "You’re joking. The old man said you just returned to the country and asked me to take you around. I happen to be free, so I thought I’d invite you for a meal."

Gong Yao raised his eyebrow and glanced at her, not bothering with small talk.

"Bai Ruoshu, your acting is a bit fake."

Bai Ruoshu’s hand froze as she held up the teacup, but she didn’t panic.

"You really wronged me. If you don’t believe it, should I go and greet them now?"

She put down the teacup and prepared to stand up.

Gong Yao stopped her, "Let’s eat, nothing much to see."

Bai Ruoshu nodded with a smile, "Okay."

She absentmindedly ate two bites, glancing in the direction of Lin Zhiyi.

"I heard from colleagues that Mr. Sang pursued Lin Zhiyi back then, and the two seemed to be secretly together."

Gong Yao put down his bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, losing appetite.

"I’m full, nothing else, I need to go to the company."

Bai Ruoshu didn’t insist, nodding, "Take care."

As Gong Yao got up, he discreetly glanced at Lin Zhiyi.

With just one glance, it still caught Bai Ruoshu’s eye.

She sneered, a man whose words did not match his feelings.

Anyway, her purpose was already achieved.

...

After the lunch break, Lin Zhiyi returned to continue transitioning her work.

During this time, Gong Chen sent her a contract, and also directly transferred the money to her account.

She stood up to call him.

"Why are you transferring the money now? I haven’t even set up my studio." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"You also need money to go to Hai City with Sang Li." Gong Chen said.

Lin Zhiyi frowned upon hearing this, "I haven’t decided whether to go or not yet."

"Go, take Xingxing to relax, staying at home all the time would make you feel bored." Gong Chen persuaded.

Lin Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.

"Did something happen?"

Gong Chen was silent for a moment, his voice low.

"The old man took Gong Yao into the company today."

"If it were in the past, I wasn’t afraid, but now it’s different."

He whispered, "You and Xingxing are my soft spot."

Lin Zhiyi understood.

She and Xingxing being here would cause him hesitation.

"I got it. I’ll take Xingxing for a good time and return. I won’t let you be distracted."

Hai City is Sang Family’s territory; the old man’s influence doesn’t reach that far.

But...

Lin Zhiyi gripped her phone tightly.

In the silence, the sound of their breathing was exceptionally clear through the phone.

"You’ll be okay, right? Promise me."

Gong Chen’s breathing halted.

"I promise."

"Zhiyi, I want to see you."

Third Young Master was being both cheeky and direct.

Luckily, there was no one around; Lin Zhiyi blushing was unnoticed.

She cleared her throat, "There are still forty minutes until I get off work..."

"Wait for me."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhiyi returned to her seat.

...

Gong Group.

When Gong Chen was about to leave, the office door was pushed open.

Gong Yao came in holding some documents.

"Third Young Master, are you going out?"

"Anything you need?"

Gong Chen nonchalantly adjusted his sleeves, his voice devoid of any fluctuations.

"There’s a document that Dad asked me to give you to review."

"Leave it."

"Dad asked you to look at it now." Gong Yao reminded, handing over the document.

"I said... leave it. Go back if you’re still relying on milk."
