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

When the words "professionalism" came out of my mouth, I realized that my fingers were trembling and even my breathing was disordered.

I think it's probably because I've endured it for too long, or maybe I'd rather it was me, not Yuan Tianye, who had a conflict with Zhou Hanzhi at this moment.

But maybe I was weak for too long, so when I protected Yuan Tianye from behind and rushed into Zhou Han, a look of astonishment unexpectedly appeared on the man's face.

Zhou Hanzhi rarely lets his emotions show, but at this second, I could see the panic and surprise in his eyes.

And this emotion lasted for several seconds.

His gaze seemed to be welded to my body, rigid and motionless.

Not a single word came out for a long while.

The atmosphere fell into a state of extreme depression for a moment. In the first few seconds, I was able to deal with it calmly, but in the next few seconds, I could already smell the oppression coming from this man.

It seemed like it was going to eat me alive.

At this time, Zeng Zhi, who was standing behind Zhou Hanzhi, stood up hurriedly and explained: "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. Mr. Zhou didn't intentionally be late today. He really didn't..."

"Zeng Zhi!" A roar came from Zhou Hanzhi's mouth, and he said coldly: "I am talking to Manager Meng, do you have the right to interrupt?"

Zeng Zhi glanced at Zhou Han angrily, then lowered his head, showing that he dared not speak in anger.

Of course I knew that Zeng Zhi stood up to smooth things over, but I never thought that I would bump into Zhou Hanzhi's gun, and I felt a little guilty for a moment.

After calming down my tone, I glanced at Zhou Hanzhi and said, "It seems that Mr. Zhou is not in a suitable state to listen to our report today. So, let's go back today and make an appointment with you another day."

After I finished speaking, I went to pack up the documents. The next moment, Zhou Hanzhi's cold sneer sounded in my ears: "Manager Meng only has so much patience with Rongyu? Or does it mean that Manager Meng feels that he has more choices now? Don’t you take our Rongyu seriously?”

Zhou Hanzhi's cynicism is unabashed, but what is he sarcastic about? What does it mean that I have more choices? If I really have other choices, why bother with him.

Wu Ling also stood up to smooth things over and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou misunderstood. We have been adhering to a serious attitude of cooperation from beginning to end. How can there be..."

"I'm talking to Manager Meng," Zhou Hanzhi interrupted Wu Ling rudely, his eyes fell on my face again, and said, "Yes or no, Manager Meng must know best."

"Isn't Mr. Zhou suspicious?" A clear voice suddenly broke in, and Yuan Tianye suddenly jumped out from behind me and said angrily: "I know two psychiatrists, why don't I introduce one to you?"

Zhou Hanzhi's face looked ugly to the naked eye.

I didn't want the conflict to intensify, so I immediately grabbed Yuan Tianye and said, "You and Mr. Wu go out first, and I'll be here later."

Yuan Tianye refused, pouted and said, "That won't work. Suspiciousness is not terrible, but when you get sick, your relatives won't recognize you. I have to stay and protect my sister."

How should I put it, I really can't stand Yuan Tianye's unreasonable energy.

Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, Zhou Hanzhi was already as cold as an iceberg, as if he would be frozen into ice if he got even slightly closer.

I could only change my words and said: "But if Mr. Zhou insists, we can record it and continue the report."

As soon as I finished speaking, Yuan Tianye cast a dissatisfied look at me. I pulled his sleeve and motioned him to stop talking, but it was still too late.

"No need," the man's cold voice pressed into my ear, and I heard Zhou Hanzhi say decisively, "I'm afraid this cooperation won't be able to continue happily."

After he finished speaking, he left, leaving us with an indifferent figure.

The situation I least wanted to see happened.

After leaving Rongyu, Yuan Tianye was still aggrieved: "It's just two stinky money, I don't like him."

As expected of a young master who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he is qualified to say so.

But in the end, Zhou Hanzhi is still the employer, and the setting of the characters is the top priority. If he doesn't nod, we won't be able to proceed to the next step.

This means that the progress of the project will be interrupted again.

It was almost the end of the year, and if it continued like this, I was afraid that the work plans for next spring would be shelved.

And Zhou Hanzhi is not that easy to talk to.

I felt vaguely uneasy.

I don't know what Zhou Hanzhi will cause trouble this time.

Of course Wu Ling also noticed this. For two consecutive days, he contacted Zeng Zhi to confirm the time of the next report, but the reply he received was the same - Mr. Zhou's schedule was already full, and he had to Push back.

"Isn't this an obvious disgrace to us? What should we do? If this matter is not resolved, we won't be able to survive this year."

I turned the pen around and said nothing.

When passing the tea room, I happened to bump into Lin Xixi who was coming back from outside.

She had left early and returned late these past two days. From the looks of it, she must have gone to the hospital to take care of Shen Hualan.

When passing by the front desk, I heard her say to Xiaoya, "I'm going to get off work today. If Mr. Wu asks, do you know how to answer?"

The tone is quite impressive.

And according to Xiaoya, she left early and came back late these two days, without even writing a note.

It's as if she runs the company.

Before that, she would still follow this process obediently.

Wu Ling has already complained about this. I think if things continue like this, other colleagues will also have opinions.

At that time, an embarrassed smile flashed across Xiaoya's face. Her eyes happened to move towards me, as if she had found a savior, and she called out: "Sister Nan Xu, Manager Lin has something to do temporarily. Please let me talk to you and Wu." Always say it.”

Lin Xixi hadn't left yet. After hearing the sound, she glanced at me twice, twitched her lips and said, "Ah, it turns out that Sister Nanxu, you are in the company. Didn't I hear that you and Mr. Wu are going to Han Zhina to report in the next two days?" Are you working? How is the progress?"

I looked at the little girl in front of me and immediately understood why she could be so domineering.

I think Lin Xixi, who is well-informed, may have already known that we went to Rongyu to make a report and got into trouble. But now, we are in a stalemate with Zhou Hanzhi, and the only person who can speak in front of Zhou Hanzhi is her, Lin Xixi.

This plot seems familiar.

I still remember that time, it was Wu Ling and I, the two bosses, who called Lin Xixi to beg for mercy in a low voice.

But this time, I'm not going to do that.

"Manager Lin probably knows it already," I said calmly, "Mr. Zhou is avoiding us now. What do you think we should do?"

Lin Xixi raised his beautiful nails, glanced at me and said, "Sister Nan Xu, aren't you very resourceful? Do you still need me to persuade Han Zhi?"

I smiled slightly and said, "Persuade, of course I have to persuade."

"But Sister Nanxu, you know, Han Zhi has always been very principled. If I try to persuade him at this time, I'm afraid..."

"I can't persuade you," I interrupted Lin Xixi directly before she could finish her words. My eyes fell on the little girl's delicate face and said, "You have to tell Mr. Zhou that if you continue to delay like this, I'm afraid that It will delay Manager Lin’s graduation defense next year.”
