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

Lin Xixi took sick leave again.

And it took three days at a time.

When Xiaoya told me and Wu Ling the news, she looked frightened: "Sister Nanxu, you said that Manager Lin's sick leave has something to do with our gossip yesterday, right? If so, Mr. Zhou will investigate and we will …”

Seeing Xiaoya's panicked look, I said calmly: "Let everyone work normally, I will handle it."

I have no idea how to deal with it yet. Seeing that the report of the general shareholders' meeting is about to come, and "Story" is also in the final stage, the project leader suddenly called in sick, and I can't explain it.

Wu Ling meant to wait first: "Lin Xixi's request for leave at this time is undoubtedly a bit angry. Wouldn't it be in line with her wishes if we go up the pole to find her at this time?"

I waited for two days. Seeing that Lin Xixi had no intention of canceling the holiday, I could only take the initiative to call her.

"Manager Lin, do you have time? Let's meet."

Rumors start because of me, and I always have to deal with them head on.

On the other end of the phone, Lin Xixi told me the name of a cafe and asked me to meet at three in the afternoon.

At first, when I heard the name of the cafe, I thought it sounded familiar. But when I got to the location, I realized that it was actually the high-end cafe where Shen Hualan and Lin Xixi met a long time ago.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Lin Xixi was already waiting. When she saw me, Lin Xixi skillfully asked the waiter for a cup of coffee. She was no longer as submissive as before.

It seems that she came here to drink coffee frequently during this period.

The little girl stirred the spoon, her palm-sized face was white and rosy, and there was no sign of illness.

"Sister Nan Xu, don't you think this place looks familiar?" Lin Xixi's eyes fell on the dining table not far away and said, "Actually, I was very grateful to you at that time."

She should be referring to the moment when Shen Hualan made things difficult for her.

"Now that I think about it, I'm really stupid."

Her voice was like a flower after the rain, moist and crisp, with a heavy sense of depression that would make anyone who heard it feel pity.

But I know that this is just an appearance.

"I don't have much time, so let's keep the story short." I didn't intend to beat around the bush. I glanced at Lin Xixi and said, "If Manager Lin has anything to say or ask, why not spread your words."

The fingers that stirred the spoon paused, and Lin Xixi raised her eyes and asked: "What on earth is going on in "The Story"? It's really...it's really like what they said..."

"What point does Manager Lin want to ask? As a game developer, when creating this game, he will inevitably add some of his own experience, but the final result is to allow game players to pay smoothly," I said frankly, " To put it bluntly, we are just here to make money.”

"Making money?" Lin Xixi repeated these two words and said dissatisfied: "So, the love plots set in the game are not intentional?"

I took a sip of coffee and said calmly: "I'm afraid that Manager Lin has forgotten why we got Mr. Zhou's investment money in the first place. To put it bluntly, without this investment money, we, Mr. Zhou and you, There will be no intersection, you see, how important money is."

As soon as I finished speaking, Lin Xixi couldn't help but let out a cold scoff. She did not hide the anger on her face and said rudely: "Yes, money is very important. I should have thought of it. Otherwise, how could you use me?" Calculate the fifty million in Han Zhi’s hands?”

When I mentioned 50 million, I didn't answer for a while. After hesitating, I heard Lin Xixi say again: "Meng Nanxu, you don't have to pretend. I talked to Miss Feng. Mr. Feng didn't order you to talk to me at all." What Mr. Wu did to 'humiliate the dog-licking plan' was just a way for you to take advantage of Han Zhi, right?"

I looked at Lin Xixi quietly and said nothing.

It seems that she has been hanging out with Feng Wenting for nothing these days, and she even dug up this matter.

"Meng Nanxu, you have gone too far. Not only did you take advantage of me, but you also took advantage of Han Zhi's trust in you!" Lin Xixi said with a stern look, "I will not let you succeed."

"How can this be said to be a conspiracy?" I calmly put down the mug, gently stirred the spoon, and asked, "If so, then does Manager Lin, who helped deliver the news, be considered an accomplice?"

Lin Xixi's eyes widened, she pointed at me and accused: "Meng Nanxu, you still want to drag me into trouble? Do you think Han Zhi will believe it?"

"Manager Lin misunderstood. I was just stating a certain fact. I said that I am a businessman, and my purpose is just to break a few taels of silver. So," I put down the spoon and looked away, "for the common good of everyone." In terms of interests, I advise Manager Lin not to ask for trouble."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Xixi looked at me in panic, and said with grief and anger: "Sister Nan Xu, I just found out today that you are this kind of person."

When she said this, her lips moved slightly and she made a silent hoarse sound, as if the pain in her heart could no longer be expressed in words.

But I know Lin Xixi, even if she is forced to be in the same boat as me at this moment, her emotions will not be so exaggerated, unless...she has other purposes.

Just when I was feeling suspicious, a flash of pride suddenly flashed in the corner of the little girl's eyes.

I screamed inwardly, and was caught off guard when I saw Shen Hualan running up from behind her.

Wireless headphones hung on Shen Hualan's ears.

I recalled the scene where Lin Xixi looked under the table intentionally or unintentionally, and I suddenly felt enlightened.

I guess Shen Hualan heard every word of our conversation just now.

No wonder Lin Xixi has been acting like a victim. It seems that she is not only acting for me, but also for Shen Hualan.

Shen Hualan, who was dressed in mink fur, walked up to me in three steps and asked, "Xu Xu, why? Why are you trying so hard to plot against Han Zhi? Didn't he give you too little?"

Raising his eyebrows, pinching his waist, and shouting loudly, Shen Hualan's appearance remained unchanged during the battle.

Lin Xixi, who was standing behind her, also gave me a proud look in cooperation.

How should I put it, she was smart enough to call Shen Hualan over. After all, no mother could allow her ex to plot against her son, not to mention that in Shen Hualan's eyes, Zhou Hanzhi's money was her money.

"Xuxu, tell me? Why? Why exactly?"

I took a deep breath and poured out all the grievances I had been feeling over the past few days: "Why? Because of his personal aesthetics, Zhou Hanzhi made us repeatedly change the project details, delaying the progress of the entire project for three or four months. If the cooperation failed, he would still take half of it. Project ownership, Auntie, we want to live, and so do all my colleagues who work with me on the research and development project. Should we just sit back and wait for death at this time?"

"But that's fifty million, fifty million..."

"What's wrong with 50 million?" I interrupted Shen Hualan and explained the facts: "One-third of the money is used for school-enterprise cooperation. You should have read the news reports. Now the whole Beijing and Hong Kong know this young talent Zhou Hanzhi Drinking water and remembering the source, Rongyu's corporate image has been improved to a higher level, and the "Story" project is about to be launched. Auntie, is this money wasted in vain, or does it go into my pocket?"

My words made Shen Hualan speechless. She looked at me blankly, as if looking at some terrifying monster, and stammered: "You...you actually talked back to me, Lin Xixi, what are you doing there? , call Hanzhi quickly!"

"No need."

A cold voice came from the side, and several of us looked over at the same time, only to see Zhou Hanzhi walking towards us calmly.

The man's posture was upright and elegant, but his eyes were deep and sharp. When his eyes passed over my cheek, I swallowed nervously after their eyes met for a brief moment.

How should I put it, I didn't find it difficult to deal with Shen Hualan and Lin Xixi, but facing Zhou Hanzhi, I still felt a little guilty.

"Hanzhi, you heard it, right? She...she..." Shen Hualan was so angry that she coughed twice and couldn't even speak clearly.

"I understand, leave this to me, you can go back first."

As soon as he said these words, Shen Hualan and Lin Xixi both showed suspicious expressions. Shen Hualan glanced at me again and reluctantly said: "Hanzhi, listen to me, this time Xu Xu..."

"I will handle it," the man interrupted Shen Hualan, with a sense of pressure all over his body, and said seriously: "Assistant Zeng, send them back."

Although Shen Hualan was used to being domineering, he did not dare to be Zhou Hanzhi's boss. After glancing at me, he left with a cold face.

Lin Xixi followed closely.

After a while, Zhou Hanzhi and I were the only two people left in the huge coffee shop.

The man glanced at me silently, pulled out the dining chair in front of him, and sat directly opposite me with an expressionless face.

I still couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so I could only continue to stand in silence.

In an instant, Ruifeng's eyes lifted slightly, revealing a clear and moist eye mask. A pair of eyes that usually looked devoid of warmth now carried an inexplicable sense of innocence.

"Nothing to say?"

I paused and said vaguely: "What are you talking about? Didn't Mr. Zhou know about it early on?"
