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

When I heard the word "rent", my heart suddenly trembled.

Apparently, Zhao Hongmei had already told Lin Xixi about her chance encounter with my uncle.

At this moment, Lin Xixi seemed to have caught something against me and asked in front of Zhou Hanzhi.

Zhou Hanzhi said calmly: "Manager Meng wants to rent a house?"

"Yes," Lin Xixi blinked innocently, "when she was looking for a house with Uncle Jiao, she happened to meet my mother. My mother happened to know some agents and wanted to help."

She paused, glanced at me and asked in a tentative tone: "So, does Sister Nanxu want to live by herself or with Uncle Jiao?"

She asked this question very cleverly. If I said that I was renting a house for my uncle, it would definitely attract the attention of Lin Xixi and her daughter. But if I said that I was renting a house for a friend, Zhao Hongmei would be fine with it, but I would definitely not be able to hide it from Zhou Hanzhi.

After all, Zhou Hanzhi also knows very well that there are only a few people in my circle of friends in Beijing and Hong Kong.

I could only follow Lin Xixi's words and say, "Live by yourself."

Hearing the sound, Lin Xixi was stunned and said in surprise: "So Sister Nanxu, are you going to move?"

Seeing the smile in the little girl's eyes, I said calmly: "Yes, I'm moving to a new office soon. I have to find a convenient place to live."

I don’t know if it was my imagination, but I always felt that when I said this, Zhou Hanzhi glanced at me silently.

"But Sister Nanxu, you have a car, and your driving skills are so good," Lin Xixi seemed to have no intention of ending the topic, and continued: "Unlike me, even if I buy a car, I don't dare to drive it on the road, and I have to trouble Han. Run from both ends."

Dare to show off to me that I have someone to pick me up.

I smiled calmly and said, "I can't compare with Manager Lin. I can still save two dollars on gas."

After all, it makes sense to take a detour from your current residence to your new office.

But even so, after Zhou Hanzhi heard this sentence, he still sneered and said: "Manager Meng is really planning carefully all the time."

The irony is strong.

Lin Xixi also smelled this, glanced at Zhou Hanzhi, and said, "Hanzhi, you can't say that. After all, Sister Nanxu must be diligent and thrifty when managing a company."

Seeing that the renting matter was about to be settled, I was sighing secretly when I heard Lin Xixi say, "By the way, Sister Nanxu, my aunt will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow morning. Do you have time to come with me?"

She could ask at this time, and her purpose was already obvious.

Besides, Shen Hualan was discharged from the hospital. With Zhou Hanzhi and Lin Xixi here, why should I join in the fun?

"Sorry, I have plans tomorrow morning..."

"That's it," Lin Xixi glanced at me regretfully and said, "Auntie also said she misses you."

"Manager Meng is very busy now," Zhou Hanzhi glanced at me quietly and said, "Time is precious."

After Zhou Hanzhi left these words, he walked away, as if he didn't want to say another word to me.

After the two of them completely disappeared from my sight, I immediately took out my cell phone and called my uncle.

"Don't go to the rental office for now, wait for news from me."

When my uncle heard this, he immediately became nervous and asked, "Did... the Zhou family find out..."

"No, to be on the safe side, we'd better be cautious."

My uncle accepted my reason, but I am the only one who knows that once suspicion arises about something, it is not that easy to hide it.

Since we are acting, I think it is necessary to make it more realistic.

So after returning to the company, I briefly edited a rental request message and posted it on Moments.

To my surprise, only one night later, two friends actually sent me rental information, and one of them was in the middle of winter.

I called him back immediately.

"Nan Xu, what a coincidence, the tenant next door to us just moved out the day before yesterday," Yan Dong said in a gentle tone, "I asked the landlord, there are no tenants for the time being, do you want to come and take a look?"

Lin Xixi happened to come out of the tea room when Yan Dong called, and her apricot eyes glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally.

I said awkwardly: "Are you looking at the house?"

"Are you free soon?" Yan Dong didn't know what I was thinking, so he said seriously: "I have already told the landlord that I can view the house at any time."

"Let's meet later, I..." In front of Lin Xixi, I couldn't explain it clearly to Yan Dong in a sentence or two, so I could only say helplessly: "I'll see you later."

"Okay, don't worry."

Seeing me cutting off the line, Lin Xixi came over curiously and said, "Is it Professor Yan? Do you want to accompany Sister Nanxu to look at the house?"

I looked at her suspicious eyes and asked, "Isn't Manager Lin going to pick up my aunt from the hospital this morning? She hasn't left yet?"

It was already ten o'clock in the morning.

Lin Xixi choked and explained, "Hanzhi will pick me up later."

After saying that, he entered the office dejectedly.

Thinking it wouldn't be too late, I hurriedly took the car keys and rushed to my residence in the cold winter.

Not long after, I came downstairs to the apartment as promised. Yan Dongman was already waiting. When he saw me, he smiled and said: "Nan Xu, I have already seen the house. It faces south and has plenty of lighting. The previous tenants also I think you will like a single girl like you."

"I'm sorry, Yan Dong," I said apologetically, truthfully, "Actually, I'm looking at a house for a friend, and he needs a two-bedroom apartment and has already rented it."

"That's it," Yan Dong looked regretful, then curled up his lips, "Look at me, you didn't even ask clearly..."

"It's my fault. I didn't explain my needs clearly," I hurriedly explained, feeling increasingly uncomfortable. "Well, I'll treat you to dinner at noon."

"This is inappropriate for Nan Xu, and I can't help you much..."

I said with a guilty conscience: "You have already helped a lot, what about it, why not stay at Shiweiju?"

Seeing my firm attitude, Yan Dong shrugged and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

An hour later, we drove to the downstairs of Shiweiju.

As soon as he got off the bus, Yan Dong sighed: "I have been thinking about this flavor for more than a week. Thanks to Manager Meng, I can finally have a bite today."

I listened to his teasing and said cheerfully: "Professor Yan should eat more today. Don't even think about saving money for Manager Meng."

The two of us entered the door talking and laughing, but in the next second, Shen Hualan's exclamation suddenly came from behind my ears: "Didn't I say that Xu Xu didn't have time to come over? Isn't it still time?"

I turned around and saw Shen Hualan, Zhou Hanzhi and Lin Xixi standing not far away.

Lin Xixi opened her mouth, looking dumbfounded.

Suddenly, I saw Shen Hualan walking towards me quickly, grabbed my hand, and said with a smile: "I knew you, Xu Xu, are the most filial."

I glanced at Yan Dong awkwardly, and was about to withdraw my hand when I heard Shen Hualan say in a loud voice: "Waiter, waiter, give us another pair, no, no, two sets of tableware."
