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

Zhou Hanzhi came with Zeng Zhi.

In fact, when those young men complained about Zhou Hanzhi, I felt vaguely uneasy.

The circles in Beijing and Hong Kong are so big, and they belong to the same investment circle, so it is normal for them to get together.

But it happened to happen today.

Or when I was complaining about him.

I felt a little embarrassed, but then I thought about it, Zhou Hanzhi and I had also discussed the matter of attracting new investments, so I quickly regained my composure.

But this stability still had a crack when Zhou Hanzhi sat next to me with a glass of wine.

Not too far but not too close, his expression was light and there was no emotion at all, except for the strong soapy scent of his body, which rushed into my nose.

I clenched my wine glass uneasily and quietly glanced at Wu Ling.

Zhou Hanzhi slowly opened his lips: "Manager Meng, please tell me why I failed?"

His voice was low and gentle, and his tone was kind.

There was just a bit of ridicule in the eyes that looked at me.

He put his identity there, and when he spoke, the people next to him fell silent.

These second-generation ancestors all look at each other.

In an instant, the originally lively atmosphere was suddenly covered with layers of low pressure.

The eyes were focused on me, and the pressure was also on my side.

I thought that Zhou Hanzhi should want to embarrass me.

I pinched my palms and said frankly: "If I really want to say there is something unqualified, it's probably that Mr. Zhou is too stingy."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Hanzhi's eyebrows visibly jumped.

And the faces around them were obviously suppressing their smiles, as if they were waiting for Zhou Hanzhi's reaction.

The man swung the red wine glass and asked, "Do you think it's missing?"

I can't say in front of so many people that Zhou Hanzhi invested 5 million for us for Lin Xixi.

Isn't this tantamount to using a loudspeaker to promote Zhou Hanzhi's lust and stupidity like King Zhou You?

I simply made the mistake and said, "Yes, once Mr. Feng takes action, it will only be one or two small targets."

Zhou Hanzhi's hand shaking the wine glass stopped and he let out a light snort.

At this time, Wu Ling came to the rescue: "Xuxu, I don't agree with what you are saying. Mr. Zhou invested five million when we were desperate. It is a help in times of need, with less money and more affection."

Feng Wenzhuo raised his eyebrows: "Mr. Zhou, don't you want to explain?"

Zhou Hanzhi took a sip of wine and said slowly: "Every project has its evaluation criteria."

I almost laughed out loud.

Zhou Hanzhi's evaluation standard is probably Lin Xixi, right?

"If I remember correctly, both Mr. Zhou and Manager Meng graduated from Nanjing University?" Feng Wenzhuo seemed to have opened up the conversation and picked up another topic, "Didn't we meet them in school?"

I took a sip of wine and said, "I'm not familiar with it."

As soon as I finished speaking, I clearly felt that the pressure of the man beside me had dropped a bit.

But isn’t denying our past in public his best skill?

Why don't you seem happy anymore?

Wu Ling also realized this and explained with a smile: "Yes, for a big shot like Mr. Zhou, if we had known each other earlier, wouldn't we have hugged each other tightly?"

This knife is enough to make up for it, which is interesting.

The fact that I was talking about investors behind my back was naturally revealed.

Afterwards, everyone chatted for some time. When I looked out the window, the withered yellow leaves were already covered with rainwater.

It rained.

"The road is slippery. If you don't mind, you can stay here tonight."

It was already late at night, and Mr. Feng thought carefully and asked the person in charge to arrange a room for each of us.

After the show, Wu Ling and I went back to our rooms. After a while, our cell phones rang suddenly.

Zhou Hanzhi’s phone number.

He probably came to settle accounts with me.

After an afternoon of fake smiles and high-intensity socializing, I was completely exhausted and simply turned a blind eye.

After a while, the call was hung up, but there was an additional message on WeChat.

Just two simple words: "Open the door."

I stood up in excitement and tiptoed to the door. As expected, I saw Zhou Hanzhi's clear face through the peephole.

Thinking that I was in Feng Wenzhuo's territory and there were so many people and eyes, I reluctantly opened the door a crack.

The man raised his eyes after hearing the noise. When their eyes met, he naturally stuck his foot in the crack of the door.

It's like it's expected that I'll close immediately.

"Is something wrong?" I said awkwardly.

Inexplicably, he felt an uneasiness similar to stealing or love.

What is this?

Zhou Hanzhi stared at me, his eyes condensed, and asked, "Meng Nanxu, are we not familiar with each other?"

I don't want to argue with Zhou Hanzhi.

Yu Qing, we are all Feng Wenzhuo's guests tonight, we can't cause any unhappiness in the host's house.

Yu Li, he is our investor. It would be unwise to offend him before the new investment funds are secured.

I said harmoniously: "It's too late. What can we talk about tomorrow morning?"

Zhou Hanzhi sneered coldly and half of his body got into the room.

I pressed against the door and didn't let him in.

At this moment, Wu Ling's voice suddenly came to my ears: "Xuxu, where does she live?"

I panicked in my heart and lost the strength in my hands, so I gave Zhou Hanzhi an opportunity.

He finally got in.

I was a little discouraged, looked up at the man in front of me, and asked, "Mr. Zhou, do you think this is appropriate?"

Zhou Hanzhi said nothing, just frowned and pulled on his tie irritably.

It's rare.

Outside the door, Wu Ling's voice got closer and closer: "Xu Xu, are you asleep?"

I pinched my brows, forced myself to cheer up, and signaled Zhou Hanzhi to hide behind the door with my eyes.

As soon as his finger landed on the doorknob, the man stretched out his hand and accurately covered the back of my hand.

He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms, and his palms were unusually hot.

"Xu Xu." A deep voice whispered in my ear, "Aren't we familiar?"

crazy.

Zhou Hanzhi is really not afraid of making a fuss, right?

I met his gaze angrily and said nothing.

When I was silent, I only felt a tightness in my waist, and my whole body was carried into Zhou Hanzhi's arms.

Through a thin layer of fabric, I could clearly feel the man's tight arms lying across my waist.

Tight.

I struggled, but my steps were wobbly and I couldn't stand firmly.

Zhou Hanzhi leaned down, looked at me, and asked like a man possessed: "Aren't we familiar?"

On the tip of my nose was a man's warm breath, accompanied by a strong smell of alcohol, spraying on my face.

I turned away and felt a sudden heat on my face. Zhou Hanzhi had already held my face.

"answer me."

"Not familiar," I became angry and gritted my teeth: "Zhou Hanzhi, we..."

The man's kiss had already fallen, blocking the next line I was going to say.

I reached out to stop him, but his hands were clamped and raised above my head.

The passionate kiss came in waves, and the man's face was both real and illusory, so overbearing that it was hard to resist.

In the dream, Zhou Hanzhi bit my tattoo, calling Xu Xu over and over again just like he did a long time ago.

Wine is really not a good thing.

The noisy cell phone ringtone pulled me out of my dream.

I opened my eyes and looked at the unfamiliar environment around me, and I suddenly woke up.

But after I woke up, I was at a loss again.

The traces are obvious.

On the other end of the phone, Wu Ling explained excitedly: "Xuxu, good news, Zhou Hanzhi has decided to give us an additional five million!"

Additional, five million.

I was confused.

Thinking of the charming scene in my dream, I couldn't help laughing.

I dragged my sore legs into the bathroom. In the dense mist, I could clearly see the bruise on my chest.

It’s still the location of the tattoo.

On the faded text, a line of English can be vaguely seen.

"I will always love you, Hanzhi."

Because it has been a long time, the word love has changed completely, like the claws of time suddenly showing up, mocking my stupidity.

So Zhou Hanzhi, is this your compensation?

Wu Ling and I were both late.

Although Feng Wenzhuo was not very interested, at least he made money again.

It also solved the problem of publicity and distribution expenses that Wu Ling had been having a headache with.

She was excitedly planning the team building and preparing to announce the good news to everyone when the time came.

But Lin Xixi heard the news somewhere. During her lunch break, she suddenly stood in front of me and asked, "Sister Nan Xu, I heard that we have received another investment. Is it true?"

She didn't mention Zhou Hanzhi.

It is estimated that Zhou Hanzhi has not informed her about the additional payment.

"Mr. Wu will announce it when the time comes." I didn't want to get in between them, so I said, "Just wait."

Lin Xixi's eyes flashed with disappointment: "That's it."

I was afraid that she would think too much, so I added: "Just for a few days."

Lin Xixi didn't ask any more questions.

Just when I thought the topic was about to end, her big round eyes landed on my neck inexplicably, her expression obviously stagnant.

I wondered: "What's wrong?"

"No," Lin Xixi stammered: "Sister Nanxu... you... you are busy first."

He looked helpless.

Quite abnormal.

It wasn't until an hour later, when I went to Wu Ling's office to discuss work, that I understood the reason.

Wu Ling told me that there was a dark red mark on the back of my neck.

Like a hickey.

I was shocked and held my forehead in annoyance.

I guess Lin Xixi also saw it.
