She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

I stared at Zhou Hanzhi's profile picture in a daze.

Originally, I wanted to ignore this friend request.

But unfortunately, Zhou Hanzhi also has the identity of Party A's father.

If someone just wants to talk to me about business, I will be too petty and the pattern will not be enough.

After much deliberation, I approved this friend request.

In just a moment, a transfer record suddenly appeared in the dialog box.

A total of 20,000 yuan.

No, it’s so late at night, why is Party A’s father so crazy?

I didn't say much and sent a question mark.

A voice message popped up.

"compensate."

The passionate kiss the man had last night suddenly flashed through my mind, and I suddenly felt at ease.

Investment banker, you are indeed very generous.

I was not polite and just clicked to collect.

No one would mind having too much money, right?

If he doesn't accept it, Zhou Hanzhi will probably feel uneasy.

After collecting the payment, I was thinking about saying thank you, but halfway through typing, I hesitated again.

In our current situation, it is not appropriate to say another word.

In the end, I didn't say anything.

Early the next morning, I went to the company step by step. I don't know if it was my imagination, but I always felt that the eyes in the technical department office would look over me from time to time.

It's like he's testing something.

I feel quite uncomfortable.

After the lunch break, Lin Xixi took the initiative to find me and asked, "Senior, can I take half a day off?"

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out that I need to take a leave of absence.

Before I could speak, I heard Lin Xixi say again: "Hanzhi's mother asked me to have afternoon tea. I really don't know how to refuse."

After speaking, he lowered his head, looking quite at a loss.

There was actually no need for her to tell me in such detail, so I said cheerfully: "It's okay, just go ahead and go. If it's late, you can just get off work directly."

Lin Xixi raised her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly: "Senior, you are so considerate."

I didn't have the nerve to tell Lin Xixi that I was doing this just for the sake of money.

Moreover, I have already completed all the work she is doing and will not delay the progress.

I thought that the arrangement was reasonable, but not long after, Shen Hualan's call came to my mobile phone.

"Xuxu, it's so hard for you to hide it from me, and I still trust you so much!"

The questioning tone, combined with Shen Hualan's loud voice, made anger almost come out of the receiver.

I didn't know why, so I asked, "What happened?"

"Why didn't you tell me about Lin Xixi working in your studio?" Shen Hualan said angrily, "You and Han Zhi were fooling me, right?"

Although I had expected this result early on, when I heard Shen Hualan's question, I still felt a sense of grievance in my heart.

In a daze, I seemed to hear Lin Xixi's timid apology.

I pinched my eyebrows and said, "Auntie, wait, I'll go over now."

I can't explain this kind of thing in a word or two on the phone.

A quarter of an hour later, I arrived at the high-end coffee shop where Shen Hualan and Lin Xixi were.

Looking from a distance, Lin Xixi sat opposite Shen Hualan with her head lowered, her eyes red.

Shen Hualan had a livid face, with a layer of anger on his face.

The scene was not harmonious.

"Auntie," I sat over, pushed aside the coffee in front of Shen Hualan, and said to the waiter, "bring this lady a glass of low-sugar juice."

Shen Hualan has a bad heart, and the doctor told her to drink less coffee.

Seeing my behavior, Shen Hualan didn't continue his attack and said angrily: "Hanzhi is confused, you are also fooling around. How can you agree to such a person under your nose?"

After saying that, she glanced at Lin Xixi again.

After hearing this, Lin Xixi turned pale and bit her lower lip tightly.

I sighed and said, "Auntie, it's our fault for hiding this from you, but Miss Lin also followed Mr. Zhou's arrangements, so there's nothing wrong with her."

Shen Hualan looked at me in disbelief and asked, "Aren't you embarrassed?"

I twitched the corner of my mouth and said, "Mr. Zhou is so generous. It's not too late for me to thank him."

Before I finished speaking, Lin Xixi across from me suddenly stood up, stared behind me, and stammered: "Senior..."

After saying that, his eye circles became even redder.

Zhou Hanzhi walked to Lin Xixi's side in three steps, protected her behind him, and asked: "What did you all say to her?"

He used "you".

That includes me.

The veins on Zhou Hanzhi's forehead jumped up and down when he spoke.

He was obviously angry.

This was a rare loss of control for him who was always emotionally stable, not to mention that Shen Hualan was standing in front of him.

In my impression, their mother and son have never blushed.

Now, for Lin Xixi, even his tone when talking to Shen Hualan was sharp.

Shen Hualan seemed not to have expected that things would develop into this situation. She pointed at Zhou Hanzhi and said, "Who am I doing this for!"

After saying that, he walked out with red eyes.

Just as I was about to follow, I heard Zhou Hanzhi say again: "Are you in a hurry to go over and show your courtesy?"

I stopped immediately, dumbfounded.

At this time, Lin Xixi, who was standing aside, said, "Senior Hanzhi, you misunderstood. It's none of Senior's business. I accidentally let it slip."

Zhou Hanzhi glanced at me, half believing it or not.

It's my fault, I shouldn't have gone through this muddy water.

After a while, I heard myself say: "I'm going back to the company first."

"Senior, let Senior Hanzhi send you off."

I smiled and declined: "No, it's not my way."

After returning to the company, the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I became.

After all this fuss in the afternoon, I guess I can no longer hide the identity of my pseudo-ex.

Just because of Zhou Hanzhi's fondness for Lin Xixi, I had a vague feeling about it.

Don't let Wu Ling fool you.

The WeChat notification interrupted my thoughts.

I clicked on it and saw another transfer message.

Zhou Hanzhi transferred another ten thousand to me.

I stared at the tempting numbers and twitched the corners of my mouth stiffly.

Should I call him crazy, or should I praise him for being a good person?

Just when I was hesitating, a line of text came into view: "Thank you for your hard work, please compensate."

The dry text shows no emotion.

I touched my lower jaw and quickly accepted the payment, wondering if I could open up a new way to make money, but I was quickly rejected.

Who is Zhou Hanzhi? He is a college student in the Department of Finance. He is naturally a money maker. How can he let me take advantage of him?

After thinking for a moment, I pulled up the friend list and clicked the delete button.

Looking at the balance on my phone, I felt angry.

Before leaving get off work, Wang Jia came over and asked: "Sister Nanxu, when will you leave the day after tomorrow?"

I looked confused: "Where to go?"

"Brother Dong's birthday party," Wang Jia realized something was wrong after saying this, and said in surprise: "He hasn't told you yet, right?"

Yan Dong really didn’t mention it to me.

But it's normal, after all, our friendship is not that deep.

However, Wang Jia's words gave me an idea of ​​​​reciprocating the gift in a sense.

I opened the shopping app silently, but I couldn't find anything suitable after looking around.

It suddenly occurred to me that Yan Dong was fond of photography when he was in college, so I decided to go to the mall during my lunch break tomorrow.

Time quickly moved to the next day.

I went to the counter as planned, looked over and over, and couldn't make up my mind.

"Beauty, what style do you want?"

I said seriously: "It's a gift, boy."

The counter girl looked understanding and pointed at one of the retro-style SLRs: "This retro brown one is very cost-effective. You can take a look."

I looked at the price, 28,000, and thought it was quite suitable, so I said, "Let's wrap it up."

"Beauty, your boyfriend is so lucky. He will be very happy when he sees the gift."

I didn't answer and secretly muttered that I would have to pay attention to the price tag when receiving gifts in the future. It would be thanks to Zhou Hanzhi's transfer, otherwise I would really be unable to bear it.

Just as he was sighing, a familiar sweet voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Senior, what a coincidence."

I followed the sound and couldn't help but frown.

Zhou Hanzhi and Lin Xixi stood two steps away.

What a coincidence.
