Chapter 208: Chapter 208

In the spacious meeting room, aside from Rong Fangjun and Rong Xian’an, the other eight directors occasionally met eyes but quickly looked away, without any conversation.

The secretary opened the door, and everyone turned their heads upon hearing the sound.

The young person entered, removing the scarf from their neck and draping it over their arm, possessing an excessively beautiful appearance, so much so that, despite being already aware of them, the directors couldn’t help but be amazed.

Some who had seen her during the old lady’s life were momentarily startled, believing the decisive Mrs. Wen from back then had come back to life.

Rong Fangjun’s gaze never left the young person from the moment she entered; this time, more than ever, he observed meticulously, from head to toe, not missing a single strand of hair.

Finally, his gaze fell upon the young person’s long and graceful neck; beautiful, the backward curve was exquisite, but too smooth.

The features typical of a male... were not seen on her.

Rong Fangjun tightened his grip on the cane inch by inch.

While the young person ignored the odd looks sweeping over the crowd and calmly sat at the far end of the table.

No one spoke, an eerie silence hanging heavily.

After two minutes, someone else entered—it’s Rong Jin.

He is the Human Resources Director, normally not involved in such board meetings, but seeing him here, his purpose was self-evident.

Rong Jin glanced at the few directors, his complexion indescribably somber, then turned to the young person, pulling a corner of his mouth into a smile, and sat directly beside her.

This attitude was clear.

"Third Young Master." Rong Jin leaned toward Rong Zhi and said quietly.

The moment the words left his lips, a heavy cough came from the head of the table, Rong Jin looked up, instantly meeting Rong Fangjun’s dark and unclear gaze, his expression froze, then he stood up and took out the prepared documents.

"This is the dismissal notice for Deputy Manager Rong Zhi," he handed the document to the secretary waiting beside, then pulled out another document, "and this one, is my resignation letter."

Originally, it was just revoking the project leader’s position, but during Rong Zhi’s time back at Rong Group, Rong Fangjun issued an order to directly dismiss Rong Zhi.

Rong Xian’an took the two documents handed over by the secretary, didn’t even look through them before setting them aside, and asked Rong Jin in a serious tone, "Are you sure you want to leave?"

Rong Jin: "I am sure."

Even though debts burden him, and he has a wife and children to care for, he cannot be a person who breaks faith and abandons righteousness, Rong Zhi has helped him, he can’t turn a blind eye.

Moreover, staying with Rong Group doesn’t guarantee a future, unless Rong Yun is not around.

The young person has recently displayed skills so remarkable, even without being at Rong Group, she would surely rise to success, betting on following Rong Zhi possibly opening a path for development. Updates are released by novelꞁire.net

The topic in the meeting room seemed to unfold following the resolute "I am sure," with directors familiar with Rong Jin offering a few words of persuasion, but Rong Jin remained firm.

He could only look at the always silent young person, curious about what charm she held to make Rong Jin so deeply loyal.

The sound of the cane striking the ground was exceedingly dull.

Rong Fangjun’s gaze swept over the two documents on the table, then raised his eyes to look at the young person with elegant features, staring at those fox-like eyes, nine-tenths similar to Wen Diao’s, his lips moved, for a long while before he slowly and cautiously asked, "Rong Zhi, do you have anything else to explain?"

His tone held an undercurrent of coldness, not even willing to call her ’Third.’

Not even bothering to argue.

In outsiders’ eyes, she was acknowledging her identity being exposed, realizing she had no room to maneuver and choosing to give up struggling, but as the involved party, she simply felt no need.

Ever since the negotiation with Ying Fan failed, she had been prepared for this situation of alienation and betrayal, knowing her grandfather, who claimed to love her the most, cared more about her being male, while others never really had goodwill toward her.

She just didn’t expect that, even at this point, Rong Jin would still stand beside her and leave Rong Group with her.

Rong Fangjun’s fingers tightened to the point of nearly crushing the cane, breathing rapidly, with an unprecedented fierceness and coldness in his gaze, "You really played well, making fools of us."

This morning, around eight o’clock, Rong Fangjun, still not fully awake, received a call from Ying Fan, the first since the tearful business war eighteen years ago where Ying Fan actively contacted the Rong Family.

He hadn’t had the chance to ask why Ying Fan made this call, before receiving a shock so great it was beyond belief.

The Third Young Master brought back by the Rong Family, he, who was now his pride, turned out to be female.
