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

Lin Xixi used "you".

Apparently he heard my conversation with Tangtang.

But as long as she listened carefully, she should know that my ultimate goal is to reduce big things to small things.

It's normal for colleagues to have different opinions. I didn't expect that she would invite Zhou Hanzhi.

She heard it, and Zhou Hanzhi naturally heard it clearly, so that at this moment Tangtang and I were like villains chewing the back of our colleague's tongue.

Tangtang probably didn't expect that things would develop to this point, so she lowered her voice and said, "Sister Nanxu, one person does the work and the other takes responsibility. I..."

I gave her a look and reassured her, "I'll handle it."

After saying that, I walked towards the two people not far away.

When our eyes met, I said in a friendly voice: "Manager Lin, you were wronged because of my improper handling."

Suddenly, Lin Xixi's eyes turned red, tears and broken beads fell down fiercely.

She was originally fair and petite, but now she looked like pear blossoms with rain in her eyes, and she felt quite unspeakably aggrieved.

It hurts.

No, when Zhou Hanzhi saw this, he immediately took out the square scarf in his breast pocket, glanced at me and said sarcastically: "Manager Meng's level is really not that good."

His voice was not loud, but there was a layer of cold air all over his body, and he was not angry and intimidating.

Protected again.

"I'm sorry, Sister Nanxu, I didn't control my emotions well," Lin Xixi choked and said with a trembling voice, "Senior Hanzhi, forget it..."

"Manager Lin, I am the one who complained about you. What are you going to do about Sister Nanxu?"

Tangtang suddenly came out from behind me and said something stern to Lin Xixi.

Lin Xixi's eyes widened and she looked at Tangtang in astonishment. She opened her mouth but stopped talking.

Even more aggrieved.

I was just about to reconcile when I heard Zhou Hanzhi say: "This matter is easy to handle. You apologize to Xixi and then resign."

Resign yourself?

Zhou Hanzhi actually wanted to fry Tangtang.

In my impression, he has always kept a clear distinction between public and private affairs, but now, as an investor in this project, he actually wants to interfere in our company's affairs for Lin Xixi's sake.

Quite unexpected.

I know that he always speaks the truth and talks nicely: "Mr. Zhou, this matter is ultimately my problem. Let's go back..."

"I said," Zhou Hanzhi interrupted me coldly and said decisively: "Quit her."

The rest of my words got stuck in my throat.

It's like accidentally swallowing a small fish bone. Although it is not fatal, it will make you fall into a short-term panic and frustration.

Only then did I realize that I had no face at all in front of Zhou Hanzhi.

Compared with Lin Xixi's grievance.

I reluctantly twitched my lips and said, "Mr. Zhou, please be patient. I will meet Mr. Wu later..."

"Then please tell Mr. Wu, Manager Meng, if this person is still here tomorrow," Zhou Hanzhi said, glanced at Tangtang, and continued: "The cooperation between us can only be terminated with regret."

After he finished speaking, he protected Lin Xixi and left.

I felt like I was struck by lightning and stood there like a log, unable to say a word for a long time.

So, what Zhou Hanzhi means is that he wants to divest his capital?

Just because Tangtang complained about Lin Xixi?

"Senior Hanzhi, forget it, I won't worry about it."

The soft tone brought me back to my thoughts. I curled and unclenched my clenched fingers, and vaguely heard Zhou Hanzhi say: "You are still too kind, but now is not the time to be tolerant."

Yes, in Zhou Hanzhi's eyes, Lin Xixi is kind and gentle, and we are all evil people.

It was already half past nine in the evening when I saw Wu Ling.

She was wearing an off-white long windbreaker and ten-centimeter high heels. She looked beautiful and dashing.

When he saw me, he smiled and said, "It's no big deal. If the sky falls, my sister will bear it with you."

On the way, we discussed countermeasures together.

"People are definitely indispensable, but since Zhou Hanzhi wants to establish this authority for Lin Xixi, we just have to satisfy him."

I rubbed my temples and asked, "What is Mr. Wu going to do?"

"Apologise," Wu Ling looked determined to win. "It will give Zhou Hanzhi and Lin Xixi enough face, and this matter will definitely turn a corner."

She still didn't understand Zhou Hanzhi.

He has always acted vigorously and resolutely, but I'm afraid he's not that easy to fool.

But we have to give Wu Ling’s method a try.

So early the next morning, Wu Ling and I went to Rongyu carrying some gifts.

to apologize.

The front desk looked familiar to me and said, "Mr. Zhou doesn't have time. He took Miss Lin to Spring City to see the snow-capped mountains last night. If you have a phone number, you can contact him directly."

Wu Ling and I looked at each other, both surprised.

We have not received Lin Xixi’s leave application.

I was rejected by Zhou Hanzhi.

Wu Ling felt that this was what Zhou Hanzhi meant and that he was putting pressure on us in disguise.

Thinking about the five million we had finally received, both of us fell into silence.

Wu Ling felt that he had to start with Lin Xixi.

"Even the emperors in ancient times could not escape the influence of others?" She gave an example, "One sentence from Lin Xixi can be worth thousands of words to us."

I lowered my eyes after hearing this, feeling quite uncomfortable.

This happened right under my nose, and there was no one better suited to make the call.

Thinking about the future of the project, I dialed the line.

But it didn't get through.

Wu Ling was a little confused: "I guess I didn't see it, let's talk about it later."

She really got it right.

In the evening, Lin Xixi finally called back: "Sorry, Sister Nanxu, Senior Han Zhi and I were on the mountain, and I left my phone in the hotel. Is something okay?"

It turns out that we are as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and the two of us are enjoying the snow leisurely.

I calmed down and said, "Manager Lin, Tangtang and I have deeply reflected on what happened yesterday. Can you forgive us this time?"

"Really?" Lin Xixi's voice was light and airy, "But when I look at Moments, Tangtang seems to be having a lot of fun."

Tangtang didn't come to work today, so as for what she was doing, I really didn't care.

I said sincerely: "I will ask her to apologize to you in person. Manager Lin, Mr. Zhou, please excuse me."

When Zhou Hanzhi was mentioned, Lin Xixi replied quickly: "Sister Nanxu, I'm in a dilemma too. You know, Hanzhi is really angry this time..."

"Feel sorry."

I hung up the phone in frustration, feeling as if there was a layer of coptis on my heart, feeling bitter and astringent.

A moment later, my phone rang again. I looked over nervously, only to find that the call was from my aunt.

I picked up my phone and went to the hallway.

"Auntie, what happened?"

"No, Xu Xu, I have good news for you." There was a hint of joy in the haggard voice, "Your uncle has asked someone to find a security job in Beijing and Hong Kong. It costs more than 4,000 a month. If it is good, I will take him there next year." Come here with your daughter so that our family can get together."

I pinched my fingertips into the palm of my hand, and my nose felt sour involuntarily.

"Xuxu? Don't you agree?"

"I agree," I said with a smile, "the days will definitely get better and better."

After hanging up the phone, I quickly walked into Wu Ling's office and asked, "Where is the bottle of red wine prepared in the morning?"

"Why are your eye circles red?" Wu Ling looked at me nervously and said distressedly: "Xuxu, you..."

I glanced at her and said calmly: "Shen Hualan probably hasn't slept well these past two days. I'll go check on her."

Shen Hualan has good wine.

I thought that since Lin Xixi's path didn't work, I had to find another way.

An hour later, I appeared at the gate of the Mid-level Villa holding the bottle of red wine that was worth countless dollars.

Behind the low-key and luxurious iron gate, a four-story single-family villa in the new Chinese style stands among the mountains and rivers. It instantly reminded me of the Wangchuan villa that Wang Wei bought when he was forty years old. Publicity.

I know without guessing that the decoration style must be Zhou Hanzhi's.

Shen Hualan greeted me with a smile between two podocarpus trees: "Xuxu, come on in and sit down."

In front of the Chinese round table on the first floor, I picked up the tulip cup in my hand and drank it all in one gulp.

Shen Hualan stopped me and said, "Xuxu, don't drink so fast, you'll get drunk easily."

I didn't say anything, poured myself another glass, and said with a smile: "I'm happy that I can drink with Auntie. Auntie, I'll do it, you can do whatever you want."

Shen Hualan finally noticed something unusual and asked, "Did something happen?"

I shook my head and said nothing.

"Did something happen?" Shen Hualan spoke firmly, put the wine glass aside and said, "Come, talk to auntie."

Seeing that the time was almost up, I said frankly: "We are not doing well and have made Mr. Zhou unhappy."

Shen Hualan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "What do I think is a big deal? He is a workaholic and doesn't know how to leave space for others. It's okay. Don't worry. Leave this matter to me."

workaholic.

Listening to Shen Hualan's description, I smiled bitterly.

The workaholic she calls him is always taking care of his Lin Xixi despite his busy schedule.

However, with Shen Hualan's promise, I don't think Zhou Hanzhi will do anything so cruel again.

Thinking of this, I raised my glass again: "Auntie, thank you, I'll..."

Before I finished speaking, the sound of the sliding door suddenly sounded in my ears.

Shen Hualan and I looked over at the same time, but we saw Zhou Hanzhi standing at the door.

Their eyes met, and I saw a hint of displeasure in the man's eyes.

I lowered my head guiltily, feeling embarrassed about being caught doing something bad.

Bad intuition.
