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

As promised, I arrived at the starting point the next afternoon as scheduled.

Zhou Han's people haven't arrived yet, but Zhang Jiazhen and the staff are ready, and we start making makeup.

Unexpectedly, both the receptionist at the front desk and the makeup artist in charge of makeup were obviously more attentive to me than before.

"Yao Chun has been dominating the position of editor-in-chief for many years thanks to the support of the Song family, but this time he was kicked out because of his plot against you," Zhang Jiazhen explained patiently, "Everyone thought that you had a deep background and were not good enough. Be careful."

I couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this, and responded: "If I had a rich background, I wouldn't have been tricked by Yao Chun."

"But you see, Yao Chun plotted against you, and it really didn't end well."

At that time, I was sitting in front of the makeup mirror, and I could clearly see the temptation on Zhang Jiazhen's face in the mirror.

I guessed that she wanted to get some gossip from me, so she said frankly: "You saw Mr. Zhou's head was broken and bleeding. If you want to blame me, you can only blame Yao Chun for hitting the muzzle of the gun."

Zhang Jiazhen smiled vaguely.

At this moment, the dressing room door was pushed open, and Zhou Hanzhi and Zeng Zhi walked in. When they saw me, Zeng Zhi immediately came over to say hello: "Mr. Zhou took care of some work temporarily, otherwise I would have arrived early."

I was confused. Zhang Jiazhen was in charge of the work. Zeng Zhi had no need to explain to me, so I took the initiative and said, "I'll go change my clothes first."

Even Zhang Jiazhen started gossiping about me and Zhou Hanzhi, so it was better for me to stay away.

A quarter of an hour later, I walked to the studio wearing the white suit dress the makeup artist chose for me. As soon as I stood under the spotlight, I heard Zeng Zhi sighing: "Manager Meng is so beautiful today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Hanzhi, who was standing on the other side, turned his head. When their eyes met, I saw the surprise flashing in the man's eyes.

At this time, the photographer came over and told me and Zhou Hanzhi that we wanted to reshoot the content. It was actually very simple. It was a posed photo of the two people hanging in the live broadcast room, including sitting side by side, shaking hands and other actions. All we had to do was complete it together.

When the shooting started, the photographer first arranged for me and Zhou Hanzhi to sit side by side. After taking a few simple photos, he said: "Please, please look at each other seriously and offer a sincere smile."

I'm a little confused, it's just a cover photo of the live broadcast preview, why do we need to look at each other?

But due to the photographer's request, I could only look at Zhou Hanzhi awkwardly. When I looked over, I happened to meet the man's unwavering eyes.

"You two, please smile."

I twitched the corners of my stiff mouth to cooperate with the photographer, but when I raised my eyes, I saw the man's eyes moving slightly, and a face that originally looked serious and cold suddenly lifted his lips into a smile.

It was a gentle and kind smile.

It's inconsistent but it doesn't look like it's just pretending.

"Ms. Meng, don't be nervous," the photographer reminded me, "Just smile naturally."

I lowered my eyes, and a trace of bitterness overflowed from my heart inexplicably.

It just feels ironic to think that I haven't taken a photo with Zhou Hanzhi for six years.

"Miss Meng?"

The photographer's voice brought me back to my thoughts. I calmed down, put on a professional smile, and reluctantly completed this set of actions.

Also, what could be more important than promoting the promotion of "Monogatari" as soon as possible?

As time went by, the filming location for Zhou Hanzhi and I moved from the studio to the studio, and the filming process also reached the last group of our handshakes.

I originally thought it was a very simple handshake photo, but it was retaken three times due to Zhou Hanzhi's inappropriate movements.

The photographer dared not speak out, so he could only remind me patiently over and over again. However, I was a little irritated by the repeated movements. Before preparing to take the photo for the fourth time, I told the man beside me: "What the photographer wants to capture is the handshake." Mr. Zhou just imagines the movements and expressions of our normal meetings.”

Zhou Hanzhi frowned slightly, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

I was also afraid that I would offend him immediately, so I added: "It will be over in one long shot, don't be nervous."

Hearing the sound, the man was stunned for a moment. After a few seconds, he slowly said, "I'm not nervous. It's just that the wig is uncomfortable."

I raised my eyes, my eyes fell on the wound where Zhou Hanzhi had stitched, and I suddenly realized.

I almost forgot that President Zhou was injured.

At this time, the photographer came again to remind us to continue shooting. I glanced at the pale man and asked, "Does Mr. Zhou need more rest?"

Zhou Hanzhi glanced at me, tilted his head and said, "No need."

When the flashing light hit our faces again, Zhou Hanzhi and I stretched out our right hands at the same time.

The moment the palms touched, I noticed that the man's palms were unusually moist. In surprise, I unconsciously retracted my hand, and the man's broad palms tightly covered the back of my hands at this moment.

He grabbed my hand.

The palm of my hand feels warm.

After a few clicks of "click, click, click", the photographer's voice of admiration was in his ears: "Perfect, the expressions and postures of the two people in these group photos are just right. There is a feeling of a duel in which the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road, and also The show of sympathy between the opponents is great! ”

I glanced at the man opposite me unnaturally. When I realized that our hands were still holding each other, I immediately broke away and turned around.

The entire reshooting process went fairly smoothly.

When I returned to the dressing room, the mobile phone in my bag suddenly rang. The call was from Director Hao.

I avoided the crowd, found a hidden corner and pressed answer.

"Ms. Meng, the expert team in Haicheng has news now. When do you think we can come to the hospital?"

"Thank you, Director Hao," I said excitedly and looked at my watch, "Can you do it in half an hour?"

"can."

After cutting off the thread, I suppressed the excitement in my heart and silently returned to the dressing room. Before I even entered the door, I heard Zeng Zhi's nagging voice: "The doctor has told you to take care of your injuries. Look at this wound." …”

Seeing me coming in, Zeng Zhi immediately stopped. After rolling his eyes twice, he said with a smile: "Manager Meng has been working hard all afternoon. It will be time to get off work soon. How about having dinner together in the evening?"

"Sorry, I have something to do tonight."

Perhaps he didn't expect me to refuse so simply. Zeng Zhi paused for two seconds and then smiled and said: "You have to eat when you have something to do. People are like iron rice and steel."

I thought about the time I had agreed with Director Hao, and refused again: "Thank you, Assistant Zeng, for your kindness. Let's wait for another day."

After changing my clothes, I left the starting point. When I arrived at the department, it was already the moon on the branches.

Director Hao looked at me who had not yet had time to remove my makeup, and said calmly: "The professional team from Haicheng has agreed to come to our hospital for consultation, and the time will be next Thursday. Ms. Meng also knows that this is the leading cardiac surgery team in the country, so in terms of cost, …”

"No problem," I said decisively and sincerely, "I will prepare all the expenses before then, as long as...as long as I can save my daughter."

After the conversation, I immediately went to the ward to tell my aunt and uncle the news.

My aunt's eyes were moist and she almost cried in front of her daughter.

The little girl held her aunt's hand obediently and said with a crooked eyebrow, "Don't worry, Xu Xu is very powerful."

Listening to this flattering compliment, I felt quite uncomfortable and asked, "How did I know that I am very powerful?"

Nannan looked like she was thinking, and after a moment she smiled and said, "Because Lao Jiao said that as long as Xu Xu agrees, he will do it."

My heart suddenly trembled, and my nose suddenly felt sore. I heard my daughter ask again: "Xu Xu, after I have the operation, can I see you every day?"

I touched my daughter's head and said, "Yes, when the project in hand is completed, we can see each other often."

Nannan blinked her beautiful auspicious eyes and said meekly: "Xuxu is the best."

Before leaving the hospital, my aunt called me aside and stuffed a bank card into my hand: "This money was saved for you when my mother was still alive. I originally wanted to give you a dowry, but now that my daughter is going to have surgery, we need to hurry up first." Focus."

I looked at my aunt in shock. I felt my limbs were cold. I couldn't help but take a breath and said slowly, "Grandma saved it for me?"

"Well," my aunt wiped her eyes and choked, "it's not much, but mom can save money."

After a moment, two huge tears welled up from my eyes. I held my aunt's hand and pushed the bank card back: "I have no shame in taking her money."

After saying these words, I turned around in a hurry and left the hospital as if I was running away.

After returning to my apartment, I stared at the wristband on my hand and couldn't sleep.

It wasn't until dawn that I fell into a deep sleep, but not long after, I was woken up again by Wu Ling's phone call.

"Xuxu, you're crazy!" Wu Ling said in an exaggerated tone, "We are going to get rich!"

I rubbed my hazy eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Zhang Jiazhen called just now and said that the preview of your live broadcast with Zhou Hanzhi has just been released. In less than two hours, the number of reservations has reached 100,000, and the collection of "Monogatari" has also increased five times! Five times!"
