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

Giving Lin Xixi a guide to please her mother-in-law was a private deal between us, but I didn't expect that I didn't hide it from Zhou Hanzhi.

But in this guide, when it comes to food, I repeatedly emphasized that Shen Hualan hates white pepper.

I think that as long as Zhou Hanzhi has consulted this guide, he should have penetrated some of my thoughts.

And my act of proactively "claiming" the crime was self-defeating and a slap in the face.

My heart tightened, and I forced myself to remain calm and glanced at the man two steps away, without responding immediately.

Thinking about it carefully, the guidebook for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is only five or six pages long, and it is so detailed that it concerns all aspects of Shen Hualan's food, clothing, housing and transportation. As the president of Rongyu, he probably doesn't have the leisure to read it from beginning to end.

Maybe I'm overthinking it.

After sorting it out like this, I calmed down a little and said calmly: "Manager Lin has done a lot for the company since joining the company. If I share her worries, isn't it the same as sharing your worries with Mr. Zhou?"

"Then continue to share my worries," the man's voice was inexplicably stiff, and his tone became even colder, "Why did you go back on your word today?"

After hearing the words "betrayal", I immediately heard the implication - Zhou Hanzhi had already concluded that I put white pepper in the fish soup on purpose.

"I also have a question," I smiled faintly and said softly, "Mr. Zhou thinks, why do I do this? Is there any benefit to me by offending the investor's mother?"

Hearing the sound, Zhou Hanzhi frowned, suddenly took a step forward, looked closely at her, and said quietly: "Yes, how about Manager Meng tell me, what good will it do to you? Is it possible that Manager Meng is thinking about Mrs. Zhou's position?" ?”

The banter was mixed with sarcasm, Zhou Hanzhi's tone was not good, and his auspicious phoenix eyes were even more unfathomable.

It made me panic.

"Mr. Zhou really loves to joke," I avoided his eyes and tried to keep my tone as natural as possible, "If Manager Lin hears these words, it will easily lead to internal conflicts..."

Before I could finish my words, the man suddenly took another step closer. Being on alert, I took two steps back and finally pressed my body against the car door.

And Zhou Hanzhi is close at hand.

Under the dim light, the man's breath mixed with the smell of tobacco filled my surroundings. He looked at me condescendingly and said angrily: "Isn't it true that what Manager Meng wants, he will do whatever it takes to get it?"

The pressure on him made me uncomfortable.

My hands tightened and loosened, then relaxed and tightened, and then I adjusted my breathing to a normal state. When I raised my eyes to look at Zhou Hanzhi, I saw that the man was still looking so aggressive.

Maybe he was complaining about Lin Xixi's injustice?

Thinking of this, I twitched the corner of my mouth and said in a teasing tone: "Mr. Zhou is worrying too much. You have a prominent status. How can someone like me be so high up?"

Before he finished speaking, the muscles on the man's face trembled, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his brows were filled with surprise and disgust.

Did I see it wrong? Zhou Hanzhi seems to be very dissatisfied with this response?

"Okay, you Meng Nanxu," the man raised his right arm and tapped his index finger slightly in front of me, "you'd better remember what you said today."

The tall body walked away carelessly. I stared at the retreating figure and breathed a sigh of relief slowly.

But why is my heart suddenly empty?

There seemed to be something wrong with Zhou Hanzhi tonight.

Hopefully, it won't affect cooperation.

With this doubt, I returned to my residence uneasily. Unexpectedly, as soon as I got off the elevator, I saw a pretty figure standing at the door from a distance.

The little girl was holding a small gift box in her hand and looking at my door number.

It's Lin Xixi.

Quite unexpected.

She should know better than I do that we are not in a relationship where we need to visit each other.

I calmed down and was about to speak when Lin Xixi immediately turned around when she heard the noise and said with a smile: "Sister Nan Xu, you are back."

Her voice was as soft and soft as ever.

"Is something wrong?"

"I came here specifically to thank Sister Nanxu," Lin Xixi said in a neutral tone, handing the dessert box in her hand to me, "I am in the hospital today, and I have to thank Sister Nanxu for rescuing me."

She used the word relief.

That's what I didn't expect either.

I looked at this sweet face and didn't expose her. I just said warmly: "Mr. Lin, you're too polite. It's a little effort. It's okay."

Lin Xixi probably didn't expect that I would be so calm. The hand holding the gift box was hanging in the air, and she asked doubtfully: "Sister Nan Xu, don't you feel aggrieved?"

Looking at the temptation in my almond-shaped eyes, I shrugged and said, "Didn't Manager Lin also see it in the end?"

Shen Hualan didn't blame me at all.

Lin Xixi probably also smelled this meaning, and the smile on her face obviously stiffened a bit.

I didn't plan to argue with her about this matter, and continued: "It's my honor to share the worries of investors. I ask Manager Lin to pay more attention to promoting cooperation. Otherwise, if it continues to be delayed, I will have to ask my aunt."

Lin Xixi was stunned for a moment and said with a sneer: "Of course...of course."

Looking at the little girl's reaction, I suddenly felt less aggrieved.

Sure enough, the next day, Rongyu responded and arranged our reporting work for the next afternoon.

My anxious heart finally felt more at ease.

Lin Xixi was also pushed into the reporting staff.

The time soon came for the reporting day.

After bringing the documents, a group of us went downstairs together.

Not long after entering the garage, my cell phone suddenly rang. I glanced at the caller ID and felt very nervous.

The call was from my aunt.

Normally during this time, she would not take the initiative to call me.

There seemed to be a frantic butterfly in my heart. I calmed down and then pressed the answer button.

"Xuxu, come to the county hospital quickly," my aunt's panicked voice came from the receiver, "My daughter is sick again."

With a "click", I felt my fingers go limp. In an instant, the phone came out of my hand and hit my feet hard.

The screen is cracked.

Probably nothing will happen.

Not caring about anything else, I briefly called Wu Ling and immediately drove to Bengcheng.

After a two-hour drive, I finally arrived at the county hospital. When I opened the ward door, I immediately saw the small milk bag lying on the bed.

The little guy's face was pale, and there was no trace of blood on his palm-sized face.

But those beautiful auspicious eyes have a stubbornness and unyielding quality that belies her age.

In an instant, my heart felt like it was being torn apart, and the pain was excruciating.

"Xu Xu," the milky tone of her voice reached my ears. My daughter noticed me intelligently and said in surprise, "It's really... it's Xu Xu."

My aunt and I spent half an hour coaxing my daughter to sleep.

Outside the ward, my aunt wiped away her tears sadly and said, "Why is this child so miserable?"

I held my aunt's hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, I have asked the doctor. Once the time is right, I will operate on her immediately."

"Xu Xu," my aunt looked at me with red eyes and said uneasily, "Nanny, everything will be fine, right?"

I nodded firmly: "She's pouting."

After appeasing my aunt, I met with the attending doctor again. The doctor said that given my daughter’s condition, it was still necessary to prepare for the surgery early.

He once again mentioned the cost of the surgery to me.

A lot of money.

During the conversation, Wu Ling's phone call suddenly came in.

Two times in a row.

I thought something was wrong, so I had to get up and pick it up.

"Xuxu, how's your situation going?" Wu Ling's tone was harsh and angry, and he changed the subject: "It's not going well on our side. The plan was vetoed by Zhou Hanzhi."

There was a sudden dull pain in my heart. I squeezed the phone tightly to suppress the spreading emotions.

Sure enough, my God, you still want to give me a little more test.
