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

When my eyes fell on Lin Xixi's face again, I was surprised to find that she actually had a mobile phone in her hand.

The flashing screen told me that the call was on at the moment.

On the other end of the phone was Zhou Hanzhi.

If I guessed correctly, this call should have been connected from the moment I came in, or even earlier.

It's just that Lin Xixi never mentioned it.

In this way, the "wonderful" conversation between us must have been clearly heard by Zhou Hanzhi on the other end of the receiver.

Seeing the pride flashing in the little girl's eyes, I suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.

So what if you hear it? I'm just doing business. Even if Zhou Hanzhi blames me, I still have a clear conscience.

Before leaving the office, Lin Xixi's soft little voice reached my ears through the crack in the door: "Sister Nanxu's decision is right. After all, it is my job, and I shouldn't trouble her."

It's like it's the first time you've troubled me.

Of course I don't want to explain anything to Zhou Hanzhi, but based on my understanding of him, I'm afraid that after Lin Xixi's few words, the matter is not over yet.

It turns out my guess was correct.

As expected, Zhou Hanzhi appeared in our studio when it was almost time to get off work.

At that time, Lin Xixi had already put on her small backpack and left the office happily.

Seeing Zhou Hanzhi in a suit and tie, the little girl said coquettishly: "Why did you come here without even saying hello? You are so busy at the end of the year, so you should put business first."

After she said this, she took Zhou Hanzhi's arm and looked at me intentionally or unintentionally from the corner of her eye.

The cooperation has not been terminated. From a business perspective, Zhou Hanzhi is still our investor. I can't turn a blind eye and can only stand up and say hello.

"The way you go home has been renovated recently, so it's inconvenient to take a taxi." Zhou Hanzhi looked down at Lin Xixi as if he didn't hear my greeting, "I thought about it, and it's safer to send you back."

When Lin Xixi heard this, the smile on her face froze, her eyes suddenly moved to my face, and she lowered her voice and said, "But my work is still a little bit behind, so it's inappropriate to leave like this, isn't it?"

A cautious tone, as if I was afraid that I would eat her.

But I knew in my heart that she was deliberately dragging Zhou Hanzhi to demonstrate to me.

In fact, Zhou Hanzhi also liked her, and then he said: "What's inappropriate? Manager Meng is so smart and capable, so I can just help you finish it off, isn't it a piece of cake?"

His dark eyes glanced across my cheeks, and Zhou Hanzhi looked at me with a half-smile, but there was a hint of teasing in his eyes.

I suddenly realized that the reason why Lin Xixi could command me so openly was probably because of Zhou Hanzhi's attitude.

I said seriously: "Mr. Zhou promoted me. Unfortunately, I have other plans tonight, so..."

I paused, looked at Lin Xixi, and said, "Manager Lin's work must be completed by himself."

My tone was soft, but my attitude was so firm that when Lin Xixi looked at me, the pride in her almond-shaped eyes suddenly turned into surprise.

She was so surprised that she forgot to hide it.

Zhou Hanzhi on the side frowned when he heard the sound, his eyes were solemn, and he said neither salty nor indifferently: "Manager Meng has time to fall in love in the office, why doesn't he even have time to help his colleagues write two lines of code?"

Talking about love? Still in the office?

I chewed Zhou Hanzhi's words carefully and suddenly realized it after a moment.

When I looked at Lin Xixi again, I saw the little girl's eyes dodge, as if she didn't dare to look at me.

It seemed that she also told Zhou Hanzhi about Yan Dong's visit to the company.

I was about to explain, but Xiaoya suddenly walked out of the tea room with a portion of washed cherries. As she walked, she said, "Sister Nanxu, come and try it. This cherry brought by Professor Yan" The sub is absolutely amazing, so crispy and sweet!”

She was used to making noises on weekdays, and no one took her seriously, but she never thought she would bump into Zhou Hanzhi today.

Like a child who has done something wrong, Xiaoya tightly grasped the fruit basket filled with cherries, lowered her head and said, "Hello Mr. Zhou, Mr. Lin."

Zhou Hanzhi didn't respond immediately, his eyes slowly moved towards Xiaoya, and finally stopped at the bright car in her hands, and said seriously: "It's not even close to get off work yet, and the employees are just dealing with it so carelessly. Where can I go?" It looks a bit like a formal enterprise!”

Xiaoya lowered her head when she heard the sound, her face turned red, and she didn't dare to say another word.

However, Lin Xixi stood up at this time and said warmly: "Hanzhi, you misunderstood. Sister Nanxu and President Wu are so generous and generous to us subordinates on weekdays, and they will not deliberately act like leaders."

"Is this magnanimity? This is called the upper beam being out of alignment and the lower beam being crooked." Zhou Hanzhi glanced at me and said coldly, "Our money in Rongyu didn't come from strong winds. We invested it in such a lazy and unmotivated company. No wonder it takes several days to change the character image.”

Listening to Zhou Hanzhi's cynicism, my heart felt as if there was a ball of cotton stuck in my chest, and I felt very stuffy.

In the past, he would interfere in our company's affairs, but overall he was quite restrained. But today, he actually criticized my subordinates in front of me, and I couldn't bear it.

"Mr. Zhou taught you the right lesson," I said calmly, glanced at Xiaoya, and said, "Xiaoya, from now on, we need to prepare dried fruits for afternoon tea, and just put them in the tea room for everyone to help themselves. As for Manager Lin, you Are you ready to get off work?"

Lin Xixi, who was suddenly called by name, was stunned for a moment, holding her bag with her little hands and did not answer.

"There are still ten minutes until the end of the day. You have also heard Mr. Zhou's lesson. As your leader, I need to remind you," I glanced at the company's attendance sheet and said, "In addition, today, Lin This is the fourth time that the manager has been late and left early, so you are not eligible for this quarter’s outstanding employee selection.”

"Sister Nanxu, I..."

"Mr. Zhou, is it okay for me to do this?" I didn't give Lin Xixi a chance to quibble, and looked at Zhou Hanzhi with my lips curled up.

Our eyes met, and I could emotionally clearly see the displeasure flashing in the man's eyes, but this time, I didn't back down.

Since he wants to talk about the rules and regulations, he should generalize them and not make anything special.

Zhou Hanzhi seemed to feel my attitude. After a few seconds of pause, he said, "Manager Meng is right, but..."

He suddenly changed the subject, which shocked me.

"But in Rongyu's rules and regulations, it is clearly stated that if an employee's family member is sick and hospitalized, the employee can take a week's paid leave," the man said calmly in a gentle voice, "So Manager Lin doesn't count as being late and leaving early, right?"

As a new capital company, Rongyu is well-known in the industry for its good employee benefits, but I never expected that Zhou Hanzhi would use this to attack me.

I shrugged and said, "Mr. Zhou is an investor. Since you want to follow the rules of Rongyu, we agree. It's just that our company is small and has insufficient funds. For the money of Manager Lin's paid vacation, please give me the money." Mr. Zhou gave them all together."

Zhou Hanzhi's expression froze, he glared at me and said, "Rongyu can pay for the paid vacation, but if Manager Meng knows that having a romantic relationship during work hours, how should we deal with it according to the company's rules and regulations?"

This is the problem Zhou Hanzhi threw at me before he left.

He wanted me to keep things official.

Of course I didn't take his words at heart. After all, Yan Dong and I were only discussing work matters. But half an hour later, an email reminder suddenly appeared on my phone. The sender was Rongyu Secretarial Department.

I clicked on it and saw an article about the company's rules and regulations. It was described in red and black fonts: If you fall in love while working, you will be fined 200 and a public review will be issued.
