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

"So what Manager Meng means is that as long as I pay you enough, you are willing to let your ex-mother-in-law accept Lin Xixi?"

I don't know if it's my imagination, but I always feel that when Zhou Hanzhi said this, his tone was raised by two decibels.

I told the truth: "It depends on how much Mr. Zhou gives."

If you give me enough money, self-esteem doesn't actually matter.

A chuckle came from the receiver: "Meng Nanxu, you'd better keep your word."

He was probably doubting his partner's loyalty.

After thinking for a few seconds, I licked my face and asked, "How much do you plan to give that week?"

There was suddenly silence on the other end of the phone.

I thought the connection was disconnected, but I glanced at the phone screen and saw that it was still connected.

I guess the capitalists are calculating their losses and are not in a hurry, but are more calm.

After a while, I heard Zhou Hanzhi say: "If you can make the Zhou family accept Lin Xixi, I will definitely give you a big red envelope."

"How old are you? Can you buy a house in Beijing and Hong Kong?"

Zhou Hanzhi probably didn't expect that I could be so thick-skinned when I gave up my line of shame. After hesitating for a few seconds, he responded: "Okay, just a suite."

After saying that, he cut off the cord.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

I regretted not discussing the deposit with Zhou Hanzhi just now.

Maybe after so many years of getting along with him, I still had some tacit understanding with him. A moment later, I actually received a transfer of 50,000 yuan.

"Deposit."

I transferred the money to my aunt with my backhand.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and within two minutes, my aunt called.

"Xu Xu, why did you suddenly pay so much money?"

I said vaguely: "We negotiated a business deal."

"Then you can't pass everything on to us," my aunt said with a tired voice, "My daughter's condition has improved a lot recently and she rarely gets sick. You have to keep some money for yourself."

My daughter has asthma, and she gets sick frequently in autumn and winter. Last year, she almost didn’t recover once or twice. My aunt said this just to comfort me.

It never hurts to save a little extra.

Suppressing the sourness in my heart, I found an excuse and hung up the phone.

On Saturday, I worked overtime as usual, but I didn't expect the severe winter to come suddenly.

He closed my notebook and stared at my wrist.

I looked at him unnaturally and asked, "Is something wrong with the class committee member?"

"My wrist is injured and I still work so hard. What should I do if it leaves the root of the disease?"

I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's just a scratch, it's okay."

In the harsh winter, I hesitated to speak.

I figured something was wrong with him, so I stopped working and asked, "What happened?"

Yan Dong scratched his head and said in a tentative tone: "There is a dinner party tomorrow night, and I need to bring a female companion to attend. Do you have time?"

Before I could respond, the phone on the table vibrated twice.

It was a message from Wu Ling.

"Is Professor Yan here?"

Apparently, Wu Ling revealed the gossip about my wrist injury to Yan Dong.

I don’t know if the two of them have talked about the banquet tomorrow night.

Instead, I couldn't find a suitable excuse.

Yan Dong probably saw what I was thinking and said considerately: "If you don't have time, let's do it next time."

I couldn't bear it and asked, "Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

"what?"

"For example, clothes, gifts, etc."

Yan Dong smiled brightly and said, "No need, as long as you are here."

He said so, but I can't be too casual. I have heard about the wealthy circles in Beijing and Hong Kong for a long time. If I didn't pay attention, I would make a mistake and lose the face of Professor Yan.

After thinking about it, I took out the cheongsam from the old tailor shop, paired it with a cashmere shawl of the same color, and set out.

The venue is a winery in Vienna.

After entering the door, the harsh winter hit me immediately, and my eyes were filled with stunning red and phoenix eyes.

"Isn't it appropriate?"

Yan Dong's voice was low: "No...it's so amazing."

Wu Ling also praised me as a cold beauty.

It's just an appearance.

"No wonder Professor Yan has been absent-minded. It turns out he has an appointment with a beautiful lady."

The two gentlemen came over to say hello.

Yan Dong blocked the way with a few words and led me to the elevator entrance. At the same time, in the opposite direction, Zhou Hanzhi also led Lin Xixi over.

We bumped into each other at the elevator entrance.

Lin Xixi wore a Ruyi pink lace cheongsam, looking like a sweet beauty.

"Professor Yan, Sister Nanxu, what a coincidence." She took the initiative to greet us.

Yan Dong looked at Zhou Hanzhi and said harmoniously: "Take Miss Lin to Uncle Zhou's birthday party?"

Zhou Hanzhi didn't answer but asked: "The Yan family is also having a party tonight?"

"Yes, my cousin's baby is a hundred days old."

Zhou Hanzhi nodded slightly and said no more.

Both banquets were on the third floor, one in the east and one in the west. After getting off the elevator, we went our separate ways.

The relatives in the Fang family are more humble and polite than I expected. Apart from a few simple greetings, the conversation is on point.

Except Yan Dong's cousin Yan Zhi.

"Ms. Meng has an outstanding temperament, and the two elders in the family must take good care of her."

He asked me about my family background in a roundabout way.

Not surprised, I made an excuse to go to the bathroom.

How should I put it, after following Wu Ling to find investors for so long, I gradually understood that if you want to join the upper class, academic qualifications and abilities are just insignificant doorsteps, and background is the most important thing.

In the eyes of those high-ranking people, as long as you mention a few words, such as your net worth, how many pounds or taels, they will give you a good price.

Cruel and realistic.

I'm used to it.

After gathering my emotions, I walked out of the bathroom silently, and suddenly I felt a pair of eyes looking at me.

When I looked up, Zhou Hanzhi was leaning in the corner, staring at me.

The look in his eyes was quite rude, even with a hint of aggression.

I hurriedly withdrew my gaze, and as soon as I took two steps forward, a shadow suddenly came over me, blocking my way.

It's Zhou Hanzhi.

As we got closer, I noticed that his pupils were dilated and his eyes were hazy and hazy.

"Use the cheongsam I gave you to please the severe winter," his voice was cold, with a layer of ice in his tone, "Meng Nanxu, you can really do it."

In public, Zhou Hanzhi stopped me in front of the rest room.

Unreasonable.

I calmed myself down and explained patiently: "Mr. Zhou, you also know that it is a gift. I don't think I need to report to you how to use the gift, right?"

The president of the dignified Rongyu Group has a heart smaller than the eye of a needle.

"on purpose?"

A slight sneer was heard in my ears, and I felt a little unhappy for no reason. I raised my eyes to look at Zhou Hanzhi and said, "Even if it is, can Mr. Zhou still take the cheongsam back?"

Isn't it just cheating? Who wouldn't.

Zhou Hanzhi frowned and said confidently: "I want it again."

Clearly drunk.

I didn’t want to be like him, so I sighed and said, “If it doesn’t work out, I’ll just buy it.”

After I finished speaking, I walked around him, and as soon as I took a step, my wrist tightened, and I was pulled into the lounge by Zhou Hanzhi.

I was a little panicked and hurriedly went to pull the handle, but Zhou Hanzhi pushed me against the door.
