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

Zheng Kai and I sent Yan Dong back to his residence.

Unlike Zhou Hanzhi, who was drunk and pestering, although Yan Dong had too much alcohol tonight, he was in a well-behaved and honest state, which was a rare peace of mind.

I was worried that he would wake up at night and have stomach discomfort, so I went to the pharmacy downstairs to buy some hangover medicine. After taking care of everything, I left with peace of mind.

When I saw him again, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

At that time, I was still having a headache over the school-enterprise cooperation project book. After hearing Xiaoya call out Professor Yan crisply, I looked up and saw Yan Dong coming in with a package of coffee.

Different from the cute and honest image that turned red last night, Yan Dong was wearing a light gray cashmere suit jacket and a white turtleneck sweater, which was both crisp and stylish, fashionable and casual.

Paired with those silver-rimmed glasses, she looks even more gentle and elegant.

As soon as I stood up to greet her, I heard Xiaoya say, "Professor Yan, you are too polite. You came to see our sister Nanxu and brought two boxes of imported cherries."

Yan Dong responded gently: "Everyone can do whatever they want with the benefits provided by the department."

After he finished speaking, he walked towards me, with a flash of embarrassment in his eyes, and hesitantly said, "I didn't make a fool of myself last night, did I?"

"No, he is still a polite gentleman," I told the truth, and then asked, "Why did you come here suddenly?"

Yan Dong shook his phone and said, "I saw your caller ID. Nan Xu, you never like to trouble people. If you called me so late, it must be something urgent."

I didn't expect Yan Dong to be so attentive and explained, "I want to prepare a new project document for Stack, but school-enterprise cooperation involves a wide range of aspects, and I have no experience. I want to learn from you."

Yan Dong raised the corner of his mouth and asked, "Have you decided to agree to Stack's proposal?"

"Well, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," I nodded firmly, "Since we want to cooperate, we have to be fully prepared and try to be as foolproof as possible."

"Of course," the gentle voice suddenly raised a few points. Yan Dong stretched out his hand in front of me like a gentleman and said with a smile on his face, "Manager Meng, happy to cooperate."

I didn't expect that the usually serious and dull winter could have such a funny side. Just as I was about to respond, I saw him sitting beside my workstation, pulling out his office chair and saying, "Where's the project book? Bring it to me and see."

He looked quite anxious.

I kindly reminded: "Don't worry, I just wrote part of it."

"It's okay. School will be on vacation for the next two days, so I have time."

While he was talking, he glanced at my desk again and said in surprise: "Hey, has it been changed?"

I followed his eyes and realized that he was referring to my new notebook. After a faint response, I asked him: "I have tried to draw up a few of our rights and obligations in the project document. You have a look?"

"Okay, leave it to me."

Throughout the afternoon, Yan Dong and I discussed our rights and obligations. Yan Dong was well-informed and had a strong reserve of knowledge. He could point out the loopholes in the regulations I drafted in just a few words. I learned a lot along the way.

"When it comes to coding, you are number one in the department, but when it comes to relevant regulations," Yan Dong said sincerely, with a hint of pride, "I'm still stronger."

I nodded in agreement and said, "Class committee member, you are so talented, I am convinced."

Yan Dong raised the corners of his mouth and showed a bright smile: "Nan Xu, if you are more careful, you will find more advantages in me."

I was surprised that Yan Dong, who had always been modest and polite, would respond like this. I was speechless for a moment. When I was lost in thought, a familiar sweet voice suddenly reached my ears.

"What kind of wind blew Professor Yan here?"

It turned out that Lin Xixi, who was taking care of Shen Hualan in the hospital, came back quietly.

We haven't seen each other for two days, and the little girl's face showed a look of tiredness that could not be concealed, and her eyebrows arched with some reluctance.

I guess things didn't go well for her taking care of her expectant mother-in-law.

Yan Dong was still the gentleman he always was. He stood up and said, "Let's discuss something with Nan Xu. Miss Lin looks so dusty. Is she too devoted to her work?"

He asked seriously, but Lin Xixi's expression froze.

After a moment, she forced out a smile and said, "Professor Yan is worrying too much. How can it be hard to work under Sister Nan Xu? The real hard work should be her and Mr. Wu."

Yan Dong glanced at me in confusion and asked, "How do you say this?"

"It's getting late, let's stop talking today," I declined, not wanting to involve Yan Dong, "I'll treat you to dinner another day."

Yan Dong always knew the general idea, so he naturally heard the implication of my words and nodded immediately.

But Lin Xixi didn't know which tendon was wrong today. Seeing Yan Dong was about to leave, she said reluctantly: "Sister Nan Xu, what are you doing? Professor Yan is not an outsider. Besides, he and Han Zhi are friends. Maybe we can persuade him to give us a few more days of grace."

Yan Dong, who was sorting out the documents, raised his head in confusion, looked at Lin Xixi, then looked at me, and asked: "How many days of grace are you talking about? What happened?"

"Hanzhi asked Yuan Tianye to change his character, but Director Yuan was not happy and directly made us disappear," Lin Xixi said quickly and sighed: "Now that Hanzhi is very angry, the pressure will naturally be put on Nan Sister Xu and Mr. Wu are here."

The more I listened, the more uncomfortable I became. My eyes fell on Lin Xixi's face. The little girl looked distressed and anxious, but there was a hint of imperceptible provocation in her eyes.

I can almost conclude that she is stirring up trouble.

In fact, I was aware of her thoughts early on, but she is from Rongyu and Zhou Hanzhi, so I can tolerate it during the cooperation, but she should not deliberately involve Yan Dong.

Thinking of this, I suppressed the discomfort in my heart and said calmly: "If Manager Lin is so free, why not write the code in the mailbox."

When the company assigns tasks, I will habitually send each item to the mailboxes of the team members, and Lin Xixi is no exception.

But before, she had been paddling in the group, and I turned a blind eye and silently completed the work for her. But now, the situation is very different.

Lin Xixi probably didn't expect that I would mention work to her. After giving me a blank look, she didn't answer the conversation.

"It's still early, I'll see the guests off first, and I'll continue discussing work with Manager Lin later."

After saying these words, I sent Yan Dong out of the company.

After arriving at the parking lot, Yandong glanced at me hesitantly and asked, "Hanzhi shouldn't be..."

"It was he who proposed the termination of cooperation," I interrupted Yan Dong and said, "You must not interfere in this matter."

Yan Dong stared at me for a moment and nodded: "If you need anything, call me as soon as possible."

After I returned to the company, as soon as I entered the door, Xiaoya hurried over, gave me a look and said: "Mr. Lin, has he been stimulated by something? The circles under his eyes were red just now."

A little girl is a little girl, I was just doing business, but she actually felt wronged.

After all, there are people who support me and don’t know the suffering in the world.

But having said that, she was the one arranged by Zhou Hanzhi after all, so she still had to give her face.

I thought for a moment and knocked on Lin Xixi's office door.

The little girl raised her head when she heard the sound, and her eye circles turned red.

"Sister Nanxu, do you have any other instructions?" Her voice was very low, as if she thought I had made her suffer a lot.

I looked at her and warned: "Manager Lin, I know you are always concerned about the company's affairs, but Professor Yan is not an employee of our company. It is inappropriate for you to reveal the company's internal situation to him."

In this situation, any company would frankly have the right to hold its employees accountable. What's more, Lin Xixi didn't seem to have done anything unintentionally.

"Sister Nan Xu, the progress of the project has been stagnant, and I am very anxious." Lin Xixi's voice was hoarse, revealing a deep sense of grievance. "I just want Professor Yan to be everyone's friend, and I want to trouble him to be the peacemaker." , have a good chat with Hanzhi, did I do something wrong?"

I looked at Lin Xixi's harmless face and suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

Only then did I realize that pretending to be nice is sometimes a skill, so I simply said straight to the point: "Since Manager Lin is so considerate of the company, why not finish your own work first."

After saying that, I was about to leave, but I heard Lin Xixi ask: "But Sister Nanxu, my aunt is alone in the hospital. I'm really worried. Can you help me with these tasks?"

I looked at the little girl in surprise, seeing the cunning flashing in those almond-shaped eyes, and I couldn't help but laugh or cry.

If you think about it, she has been in the company for so long that she has never written a code in a serious way. Now, she has begun to openly let me do it for her.

"I'm sorry, Manager Lin, I also have my own work," I refused flatly, "I hope to see a complete piece of code before leaving get off work."

After saying these words, I turned around, but the next moment, I heard Lin Xixi say, "I'm sorry, Hanzhi, I really can't go to Auntie's side."
