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

After Lin Xixi heard my response, her tender little face visibly stiffened.

I couldn't hold back a word for quite a while.

But Zhou Hanzhi beside her couldn't stand it anymore. After giving me a faint look, he said, "You are who you are. There is no need to imitate anyone else."

When Zhou Hanzhi said the words "anyone", his sharp eyes fell on my face.

Obviously refers to selling mulberry trees and selling locust trees.

Lin Xixi looked at him flattered, her eyelashes flickering.

Probably moved.

I didn't want to waste my time watching this kind of romantic drama, so I said "Excuse me" and turned around to leave.

I actually found the dry cleaning shop Lin Xixi mentioned.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, I received a call from the owner of the dry cleaning shop, saying that the suit had been washed.

I thought for a moment and dialed Yan Dong’s number.

After a while, the call was connected, and I heard Yan Dong ask in a low voice: "Nan Xu, what happened?"

Seems quite nervous.

Only then did I realize that the call might not have been made at the right time, so I said apologetically: "Are you free tonight? Your coat has been washed, I will send it over."

"Yes," Yan Dong answered decisively, "How about after six o'clock?"

"Row."

After finalizing the time, I arrived at the NTU campus carrying my suit jacket.

Although we are only two years apart, in this place where Zhou Hanzhi and I have spent our entire youth, I still feel as if we are in another world.

Downstairs in the teaching building, Yan Dong walked towards me wearing a light brown windbreaker, panting and saying, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No," I handed over my suit jacket and asked, "I didn't disturb your work, did I?"

Yan Dong rolled his eyes at me and said, "Are you confused while typing code? It's time to get off work now."

I thought it wouldn't be appropriate to just leave like that, so I said, "Then class committee member, let me treat you to dinner."

Yan Dong smiled happily: "I can't ask for it."

But I didn’t expect that the severe winter would bring me to the rice bowl in the student cafeteria.

"Shiitake chicken with mushrooms?"

I was slightly surprised.

That was my favorite delicacy in college. It was cheap and provided both rice and vegetables. But how could I know that in the cold winter?

When we sat down, Yan Dong also asked for an extra cup of hot milk for me.

"Is the class committee member trying to save money for me?"

Yan Dong handed me the disposable chopsticks and said, "That's not true. I just wanted to eat this bowl of rice bowl for a long time."

Seeing that I didn't say anything, he reminded me again: "After the meal, you have to drink the milk, eh?"

My mind suddenly flashed back to the scene when I was in college, when Yan Dong was teasing everyone to do morning exercises with a discipline book, and was nicknamed Aunt Yan by her classmates, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Yan Dong looked at me in confusion, and I explained: "I suddenly thought of the glorious history of class committee member who took good care of your classmates."

As soon as I finished speaking, Yan Dong suddenly stretched out his index finger and flicked my forehead lightly: "Meng Nanxu, eat well."

After dinner, I went back to the studio, and unexpectedly bumped into Zhou Hanzhi when I entered the door.

I took two steps back knowingly, but I heard the man's cold voice in my ear: "Is the date over?"

Dating?

I am at a loss.

At this moment, Lin Xixi came out carrying a chain bag. When she saw me, her eyes froze at first, and then she said with a smile: "Sister Nan Xu, are you and Professor Yan together?"

She actually called Professor Yan Dongyan.

But why did she suddenly change her title?

"us……"

"I understand," Lin Xixi winked at me and said, before I could finish my words, "There was a heated discussion in the forum, saying that Sister Nan Xu and Professor Yan, you and Professor Yan are a perfect match."

I don’t know how my trip to Nanda caused such gossip, but considering the harsh winter, I explained: “The class committee member and I are just friends.”

"Oh." Lin Xixi responded and said with a smile, "I think Professor Yan may not think so."

Her last note was delicate and soft, with a seemingly innocent look.

Zhou Hanzhi interrupted our conversation: "We're almost late for the concert."

Lin Xixi smiled and waved to me: "Sister Nanxu, let's go first."

After the two people left, I immediately opened the NTU forum.

I saw the pinned post at a glance - I believe Yan Dong, the most handsome professor at Nanjing University, has a name!

It also included a photo of me and Yan Dong eating in the student cafeteria.

I have to say that the poster is very good at taking photos, smiling and flicking his forehead. Even I, the client, felt that there was something fishy about the two people in the photo.

The comments are also varied.

[Oh my god, is this the legendary gifted scholar and beauty? The teacher’s wife is really pretty! 】

[Yeah, how can someone have both sweet and cold temperaments? The last time I saw such a beauty was Liu Yifei! 】

[We recognize Professor Yan’s marriage! 】

The more I read, the more outrageous I felt, and my eyes finally stopped on a piece of content: [Isn’t this Meng Nanxu, the academic god of the Department of Finance? 】

Not long after the reply was posted, there were only a few dozen likes.

After much thought, I hacked into the forum and deleted this explosive post.

I misunderstood that I was young, but I couldn’t ruin the reputation of harsh winter.

It was late at night when I finished my work.

As soon as I got off the elevator, I saw a thin figure standing in front of the window from a distance, holding a half-burned cigarette between his fingertips.

Bare branches swayed outside the window, and the man's face was hidden in the backlight, dim and unclear.

But I still recognized Zhou Hanzhi from this familiar outline.

I was a little surprised.

Didn't he go to the concert? Why did he appear downstairs in the company?

I pretended to ignore it and walked forward expressionlessly, but when I was only two meters away from Zhou Hanzhi, I heard him ask: "It's just a project, is that all?"

I was slightly confused, stopped and looked up at Zhou Hanzhi.

When our eyes met, I heard the man say in a sarcastic tone: "After all, what you programmers are best at is making a backup for yourselves."

Backup?

I was even more confused, so I simply said, "Mr. Zhou, you might as well say what you have to say."

Zhou Hanzhi slowly blew out the smoke ring, his eyes glazed over, and responded: "Feng Wenzhuo is just talking to you for the sake of the Yan family. Do you really think that, with his identity and status, Are you really interested in your project?"

My heart trembled, and then I understood what Zhou Hanzhi meant.

It seems that he guessed the reason why Wu Ling and I contacted Feng Wenzhuo.

And in Zhou Hanzhi's view, the reason why I approached the severe winter was just to borrow his hand and get more investment funds.

"Mr. Zhou, I think this doesn't violate our agreement with your company, right?" I said calmly, "However, I still have to thank you for complimenting me so much."

Doing whatever it takes to climb up, even showing off your coquettishness, is also a compliment in a sense.

But my gratitude didn't seem to be what Zhou Han wanted. He looked at me quietly, frowned and said, "Stop spending time on these useless things, Rongyu will not treat you badly."

I almost laughed out loud.

So Zhou Hanzhi came to the downstairs of our company at night just to order me?

I met Zhou Hanzhi's cold gaze and asked, "Mr. Zhou keeps saying that Feng Wenzhuo doesn't like our project, so let me ask you, why did you fall in love with it in the first place?"

Zhou Hanzhi looked stunned and didn't answer for a while.

I twitched the corner of my mouth and came to the conclusion: "Because Mr. Zhou has a soft spot for Manager Lin, does it make you crazy?"

Hearing this, the man had a straight face, his pupils shrank slightly, and asked: "So, you want to imitate her?"

I was suddenly stopped by the question, and I didn't know where the anger came from, so I retorted: "Does this have anything to do with Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Hanzhi didn't say a word for a long while.

But the strong aura made me breathless.

Just when I was at a loss what to do, he finally spoke, with teasing in his tone: "Meng Nanxu, you are really good."
