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

The cheerful and harmonious atmosphere suddenly condensed at the moment Lin Xixi appeared.

No one expected that Lin Xixi would appear at this time, and Zhou Hanzhi would be accompanied by him.

"Oh Sister Nanxu, today is really the happiest day I've had in the past half year," Wang Jia was sitting with his back to the front door. He hadn't noticed the two people standing at the door yet, and he said while pouring wine, "I feel so happy when I think that I don't have to do the work of two people by myself, and can sleep with my girlfriend in my arms at night!"

Wang Jia was complaining that our previous progress was too fast, and Lin Xixi has been acting as a decoration and not doing any work.

Xiaoya also heard this, coughed twice, and gave Wang Jia a careful wink.

I looked at everyone and couldn't stand still, so I glanced at Wu Ling and took the initiative to say hello to Zhou Hanzhi and Lin Xixi.

"Isn't Manager Lin feeling unwell? Why didn't you take a good rest at home?" Wu Ling looked at Lin Xixi with a smile and said, "Are you planning a surprise for us?"

Lin Xixi also heard the joking in Wu Ling's words, lowered her eyelids, and whispered: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wu, I should have said hello to you in advance."

She said it carefully, as if she was really trying to apologize to us.

"Manager Lin is too polite," Wu Ling responded with a smile, "You and Mr. Zhou can come over, it's to give everyone face."

Hearing this, Lin Xixi raised her eyelids, glanced at Wu Ling and me, and said, "I saw it's the end of the year. Everyone has worked very hard, and I wanted Han Zhi to reward everyone, but it seems that we can't come here." It’s not the time…”

Her last words were spoken softly, and she glanced at Zhou Hanzhi from the corner of her eye as she spoke.

Seemingly panicked but not panicked.

Wu Ling curled up his lips and smiled: "What are you talking about, Manager Lin? Mr. Zhou will pay for us, which is what we want. Come on, come on, don't stand around, please come inside."

Her actions were diligent, but her tone was tepid.

From what I know of her, she is being sarcastic.

But in the end, Wu Ling still placed Zhou Hanzhi and Lin Xixi in the main seats.

As long as the contract is not terminated, he will become our investor, so after the two of them sat down, Wu Ling took the lead in toasting Zhou Hanzhi.

Zhou Hanzhi remained as high-profile as ever, swaying the wine glass and taking a sip meaningfully.

In the middle of winter, he uncharacteristically put his wine glass on the table and said in a joking tone: "Isn't it an internal company dinner today? Professor Yan is here to join in the fun?"

Wu Ling reacted very quickly and responded: "Mr. Zhou doesn't know something. In terms of computers, Professor Yan is so talented that he is one against ten. Xu Xu and I are discussing to hire him as a consultant for our company, so Professor Yan is thinking Our own people.”

"One of our own?" Zhou Hanzhi repeated these three words coldly, but his eyes suddenly looked at me.

Wu Ling took the opportunity to explain: "So Mr. Zhou, please don't listen to any slanderous rumors, thinking that our Xu Xu is having an office romance. She and Professor Yan are talking about work seriously."

Lin Xixi, who was sitting aside, immediately interjected: "Hanzhi, you don't know that Professor Yan is very considerate to Sister Nanxu. Yesterday morning, he waited for more than half an hour downstairs in our company to deliver information to her."

The little girl said this with a smile on her face, as if she was talking about a normal thing.

But her thoughts were clearly written on her face.

Wu Ling took a sip of the wine in his glass and said with a smile: "This is normal. We Xu Xu are as beautiful as gods, and Professor Yan is another talented person. Standing together, we are a talented and beautiful couple."

Lin Xixi was choked and speechless.

Xiaoya's song was ending not far away. Lin Xixi glanced at the microphone and said in a coquettish tone: "Hanzhi, can you sing a song too?"

I was stunned when I heard it.

Zhou Hanzhi never sings.

To be precise, Zhou Hanzhi didn't like any of the entertainment programs that young people like, such as singing karaoke or going to the arcade. When we were in school, we had dinner together several times, and he always sat aside like an out of place god, let alone singing. Danced.

Why did Lin Xixi suddenly suggest that he sing?

Just as I was wondering, I heard the man say in a cold voice: "Why, it's not enough to sing to you alone, and you want me to sing in front of so many people?"

"You want to hear it," the little girl said in a delicate and soft voice, "Okay?"

We were not far apart, and the conversation between the two people fell into my ears clearly. I squeezed the wine glass, and when I glanced over with my peripheral vision, I saw Zhou Hanzhi getting up neatly and walking towards the singing stage.

The indoor light was dim, and under the interlaced neon lights, my eyes and Lin Xixi's eyes unexpectedly met in the air.

The little girl raised her eyebrows and smiled at me.

It was also at this moment that my heart suddenly felt very stuffy.

Looking at the upright figure standing in the center of the box, I just felt strange.

Six years later, I didn’t know until today that it wasn’t that Zhou Hanzhi couldn’t sing, he was just too lazy to sing to me.

I drank the wine in my glass in one gulp.

But the next second, when a familiar melody pressed against my ears, my whole body felt like it was struck by lightning.

I never expected that Zhou Hanzhi was singing "Mercury" which I had listened to countless times in that apartment.

"fascinated by your eyes

There are traces of the galaxy

through the gap of time

it's still real

Attract my trajectory..."

The low and hoarse voice, accompanied by the slowly flowing piano music, directly brought my thoughts back to a late night two years ago.

Always reserved, he rushed back in the heavy rain late at night and put me in his arms without saying a word.

He said in the same affectionate tone: "Wife, I can't live without you, absolutely."

That was one of the few direct and passionate expressions he expressed. When he held me tightly, I could even hear the rising and falling heartbeat of his chest through his clothes.

At that time, "Mercury" was playing on the player.

Time flies, the same person, the same song, the past and the present are indistinct, the young and mature faces overlap at this moment, and the oath at that time has turned into a knife stabbing the chest, cruel and painful.

He is really a good actor.

I just felt my throat tightening, so I excused myself to the bathroom.

The strange thing is that after standing in front of the sink for a long time, I couldn't shed a single tear.

The feeling that someone must be there seems to have suddenly disappeared.

Also, the distance between Mercury and the sun is like that between me and Zhou Hanzhi. Even though I spent so much time and energy circling him around, after all, we were not on the same track.

Moreover, I had planned so hard for so long, how could I give up halfway because of just one song?

After a while, I rushed to the private room as if nothing had happened. Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked to the door, I bumped into Zhou Hanzhi who had just left the private room.

Our eyes met, and I looked forward calmly, but just as I passed by the man, I heard him sneer: "I said, why does Manager Meng suddenly dare to challenge Rongyu? It turns out that he has a new girlfriend. ah."
