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

After Zhou Hanzhi left, I went to the pharmacy to buy disinfection tools for Yuan Tianye.

Fortunately, he was smart and was not severely beaten by Zhou Hanzhi, but the bruises on his face would probably take two or three days to disappear.

"So I really shouldn't have stopped my sister just now," Yuan Tianye complained softly, "I should have beaten him to pieces."

I confessed the fact that Zhou Hanzhi was a black belt. After hearing this, Yuan Tianye curled his lips and said, "So what, if he doesn't respect you, I'll beat him up anyway."

I put away the disinfection tools and said sincerely: "I appreciate your kindness, but don't be so impulsive next time. We should be lucky that there is no one in the parking garage. In case someone is photographed, it will affect your image as the young master of the Yuan family. ”

"Tch, I don't care about anything that is not graphic," Yuan Tianye sneered, "But since it's my sister who said it, I'll just listen."

I looked at the time and said, "You haven't had a good night's rest either. Drive my car back and rest."

"What about sister?"

I shrugged: "Don't worry, I'm very sleepy now and won't carry you to the company."

Yuan Tianye left with peace of mind.

After returning to my residence, I lay on the bed exhausted physically and mentally, and my brain was in a state of confusion.

Before I fell asleep, the scene where Zhou Hanzhi questioned me about my absence from the annual meeting suddenly appeared in my mind, and I twitched my lips in self-deprecation.

It was sunset when I woke up, and there were text messages from Wu Ling on my phone, four or five in a row, each one full of concern and advice.

"How is uncle? You must be tired. My sisters are in charge today, so you can rest assured."

"You haven't woken up yet. I ordered some food for you and asked the delivery man to wait for you at the door. Come back and heat it up."

While I was warming up the seafood porridge Wu Ling ordered, I called her and mentioned yesterday’s annual meeting. I heard Wu Ling excitedly say, “Oh, it’s a pity you didn’t go yesterday. You don’t know. Lin Xixi, who calls herself Mrs. Rongyu Zhou, was not present last night! "

I was slightly surprised: "No?"

"Really, I didn't expect it," Wu Ling lowered her voice and said, "But you know what? Lin Xixi came to the company this morning with a calm expression. I thought she was going to cry in front of Zhou Hanzhi."

I thought about Lin Xixi's stable state these days, and felt vaguely uneasy: "What has she done?"

"It's work, and you know what? She actually asked Wang Jia politely for advice. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it."

Ask Wang Jia for advice, Lin Xixi?

Not to mention that Wu Ling found it strange, I also found it incredible.

You know, this little girl has never had a calm temper. She didn't even attend Rongyu's annual meeting this time, which is enough to show that there is a problem between her and Zhou Hanzhi.

"You think she and I have broken up, right?" Wu Ling boldly guessed, "After the last interview, I noticed that there were some problems between the two of them. Do you think she saw the edited video on the Internet? Later, I felt so ashamed and angry that I worked hard to become stronger?”

I was confused: "What video?"

"On the day of the studio, there was a video of a middle-aged woman holding a bottle and peeing on you, but Zhou Hanzhi was protecting you," Wu Ling immediately explained, "You don't know, many netizens are making fun of you and Zhou Hanzhi's relationship."

But that day, Zhou Hanzhi and I both personally denied our relationship.

"But you are right, there must be a monster when something goes wrong, so we should be careful."

After cutting off the cord, I simply filled my stomach and took a taxi to the hospital.

Nannan had already left the intensive care unit. When I opened the door and entered, she was listening to her aunt's story with great interest.

Looking at the gentle look on the little girl's face, I suddenly felt that all the suffering I had endured was worth it.

But at this moment, Shen Hualan, whom I hadn't contacted for a long time, called me for the first time.

"Xu Xu, we haven't seen each other for a long time, right? Why didn't we see you at the annual party yesterday?"

At that time, I was standing in the corridor of the inpatient department, looking at the people coming and going, and I said calmly: "Something has delayed me."

"That's what I'm saying," Shen Hualan smiled to herself and changed the subject, "Do you have time now? Can you have afternoon tea with your aunt?"

Shen Hualan always has a strong purpose in doing things. I know that she must have other motives. As for what she wants, I can't guess yet.

Thinking about what Youhe was investigating, I responded: "Okay, you can send me the address."

Half an hour later, Shen Hualan and I met in a remote coffee shop.

There were only two of us in the hall.

When Shen Hualan saw me, she greeted me enthusiastically. When she was about to wrap her arms around me, I calmly avoided her.

She was not embarrassed, and instead asked the waiter to bring over the coffee and desserts she had ordered - all of which were her favorite flavors.

"Look at your little face. You've lost weight again. You've been busy lately, haven't you?" She greeted me familiarly, automatically blocking out our previous unhappiness.

I responded casually: "It's okay."

"I'm not telling you, Xu Xu, as a woman, you should be kind to yourself," Shen Hualan started her sermon again, "You said you are also a cutting-edge IT now, but you can't make yourself miserable."

Today's opening remarks were longer than I expected, so I simply got straight to the point: "Auntie, you came to see me, are you okay?"

Shen Hualan was slightly startled and said, "Yes, something happened."

After she said this, she took out a card from her elephant gray Hermès and handed it to me: "Xu Xu, I know you are busy at work and haven't had time to handle the moving matter. Where is my aunt recently? "Okay, the environment here is good and it's close to your company. You can move there sometime and tell Auntie if you need anything."

I glanced at the name of the community on the room card and sighed secretly.

It is a famous high-end apartment in Beijing and Hong Kong.

"Thanks," I pushed the key card back, "I've already chosen a new place to live."

Shen Hualan looked stunned: "Ah? Where did you choose?"

I thought about the large flat floor Wu Ling mentioned, and prevaricated: "The Arc de Triomphe, a large flat floor of 200 square meters."

After hearing this, Shen Hualan didn't respond for a while. After a long time, she laughed awkwardly and said: "Xu Xu, you are so capable. Speaking of which, the achievements of "Monogatari" today are inseparable from your hard work."

I politely said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your support."

"Speaking of which, when Han Zhi decided to vote for "Monogatari" before, he was looked down upon by those old guys. Some people even used this matter to find trouble and complained to the old lady," Shen Hualan sighed and said, " Fortunately, Han Zhi's wise eyes gave you all the trust. No, you slapped those people in the face with the result, which also gave Han Zhi a lot of help. "

Look, as long as it is beneficial to Shen Hualan, she can say any beautiful thing.

"Speaking of which, Han Zhi is not up to par. You said it's not good to fall in love with anyone, but he falls in love with Lin Xixi, the embroidered pillow." Shen Hualan glanced at me and complained, "If he chooses you, you two will complement each other. It's amazing It’s a match made in heaven.”

When I heard the words "a match made in heaven," I couldn't help but look at Shen Hualan, and then I heard her say, "To be honest with you, Xu Xu, my aunt has always been on your side. I went to the old house two days ago. , I specifically mentioned you in front of the old lady, don’t tell me, she was very impressed by you and praised you full of praise.”

"Impressed?" I repeated these words and said sarcastically: "The old lady praises me too much."

"Because you are excellent, isn't it? At last night's annual meeting, the old lady explicitly prohibited Lin Xixi from Hanzhi from attending. This shows that..." Shen Hualan paused at this point, "The Zhou family is convinced by your abilities. Yes."

I couldn't help but sneer: "So?"

"So, if the Zhou family is asked to choose between Xu Xu and Lin Xixi, we will all support you," Shen Hualan said with an amiable face and a regretful tone, "It's a pity that you didn't attend the annual meeting last night. , Otherwise, Hanzhi will definitely introduce you to everyone, but the old lady mentioned it specifically. "

Mrs. Zhou? Did you mention it specifically? Outsiders don't know what happened two years ago. As the head of the Zhou family, doesn't she still understand? At this time, why do you suddenly show kindness to me?

Is it a test, or does it have some other purpose?

Under the table, I pinched my palms hard, and then I managed to calm down, and finally understood Shen Hualan's intention of inviting me here today.

Ganqing wanted to tell me that everyone in the Zhou family has seen my value, and hinted that I should continue to be Zhou Hanzhi's licking dog.

Even the most high-end apartments in Beijing and Hong Kong were found for me through hard work.

"But why?" I thought for two seconds, looked at Shen Hualan who was tasting the dessert seriously, and asked: "As you can see, Auntie, although my career is not big enough now, I have no problem supporting myself and I look pretty decent. , why bother trying to please other people’s boyfriends and their families?”
