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

When I just came out of the beauty salon, I hadn't seen Zhou Hanzhi's car and Zeng Zhi yet. I just found out that my car had broken down and turned around to run into Zeng Zhi.

He also offered to take me home.

I felt that this matter was strange no matter how I looked at it, so I did not answer Zeng Zhi's question, but asked him instead: "Assistant Zeng, are you following me?"

"No, no, how could it be possible, sister-in-law? President Zhou and I are not bad people, why would we follow you?" Zeng Zhi was not good at lying, a trace of panic flashed across his face, and he turned to find Zhou Hanzhi behind him to endorse him, "Right, President Zhou?"

It's a mysterious operation.

Although I was openly asking Zeng Zhi, actually I suspected that Zhou Hanzhi was following me.

It's really ridiculous that Zeng Zhi actually went to Zhou Hanzhi to endorse him.

In the dimly-lit carriage, Zhou Hanzhi's face was illuminated by the sidelight, half bright and half obscure, just like his thoughts.

Half of him floats in the sunshine, and he is deeply in love with Lin Xixi, his beloved one.

Half of it was hidden in the darkness, targeting me inexplicably.

I can't see his face clearly, nor can I see his heart clearly.

Not far away, it seemed like another vehicle was coming.

I heard Zhou Hanzhi's low voice respond: "Of course, we are not stalkers, why would we follow Manager Meng? It just happened that everyone came to this beauty salon tonight. Isn't Manager Meng too sensitive?"

He didn't mean that I was sensitive, he meant that I was being too sentimental and thinking that he still had feelings for me.

"I also hope that I am overthinking it." I raised the corners of my lips and sneered.

"Anyway, neither Mr. Zhou nor I have bad intentions towards you, sister-in-law." Zeng Zhi concluded, and then asked the same question again, "Sister-in-law, it's getting late, and it's not convenient to take a taxi around here. Why don't you take our car? I'll take you home."

He looked at me eagerly, with...expectation in his eyes.

It seemed like he particularly wanted me to get in the car.

But his expectations were doomed to fail.

If it were in the past, I might have taken a taxi. After all, Zeng Zhi didn't lie. It was indeed not very convenient to take a taxi around here, and it was almost ten o'clock now, making it even harder to get a taxi.

But I won’t get in the car now.

Just now in the room, after Zhou Hanzhi forcefully kissed me, he pushed me away with disgust and said in a disdainful tone, "Don't dream. I'm obsessed with you."

He should be disgusted with me now, and be afraid that I will pester him and affect his relationship with Lin Xixi, so why should I insist on making myself disliked?

"No, thank you Assistant Zeng for your kindness." So I waved my hand and signaled Zeng Zhi in a relaxed tone to drive away quickly.

Zeng Zhi's expectation froze, and then turned into eagerness: "Sister-in-law, we are really on the same way, and I'm not lying to you, there are no taxis around here. If you don't believe me, just look at the taxi platform, there is not even a single car. If you don't take our car, you won't be able to go back tonight."

As he was talking, he took out his cell phone and operated it, and showed me the screen, trying to prove to me that what he said was true.

I saw Zhou Hanzhi in the back seat looking at me. The light was dim and I could only see that his brows were furrowed.

"It's okay, Assistant Zeng. It doesn't matter if I can't get a taxi back. I can walk back to the beauty salon. I believe Mrs. Zhang Si will be willing to take me in for the night." I interrupted Zeng Zhi with a smile, then changed the subject and looked at the car coming over not far away. "Besides, I think you are not the only one who got a ride here."

A white Bentley was driving over. Perhaps it saw me, so it stopped and the window slowly rolled down, revealing a familiar face.

I turned around and politely greeted the familiar face: "Manager Zhou, what a coincidence, you are here too? My car is out of battery and can't move. Can you give me a ride home?"

"It's my honor to serve a beauty." Zhou Pinzhi smiled brightly, and immediately got out of the car and walked to my side, opening the passenger door. "Manager Meng, please... Hey, Assistant Zeng?"

He seemed to have just seen Zhou Hanzhi's car and Zeng Zhi, and greeted Zeng Zhi with a look of surprise.

Zeng Zhi looked a little embarrassed, but still greeted Zhou Pinzhi: "Manager Zhou."

Zhou Pinzhi immediately looked inside the car, then retracted his gaze and turned it to my face, smiling: "Manager Meng, it seems that someone else also wants to serve the beauty, who do you choose?"

Zeng Zhi seemed even more anxious, and hurriedly said: "How about..."

Even without looking inside the car, I could feel that Zhou Hanzhi's expression suddenly changed in the car, and his eyes were fixed on my face.

But I didn't even look at him and got into Zhou Pinzhi's car directly: "Manager Zhou, you misunderstood. Mr. Zhou just stopped the car to tell me about some work matters. How can I, with my status, just sit in Mr. Zhou's car? I still have to trouble Mr. Zhou to help me for a short distance."

"The word 'trouble' is not used well, Manager Meng. You should say, 'Zhou Pinzhi, I'll give you a chance to take me home. I'll be happier this way.'" Zhou Pinzhi laughed and waved towards the Maybach. "Hanzhi, I'll take Manager Meng home first."

I had already gotten into Zhou Pinzhi's car, so I couldn't see Zhou Hanzhi's reaction, but I heard Zhou Hanzhi's obviously annoyed voice coming from the other side: "Zeng Zhi, hurry up!"

Strange, what is he upset about?

The reason I didn't take his ride was for his own good. It would be better for him, for his and Lin Xixi's relationship, and even for his reputation and influence.

He should feel happy and praise me for being sensible. Why should he be angry?

Zeng Zhi was obviously frightened by Zhou Hanzhi. After hesitating for a moment, he said goodbye to me: "Manager Meng, we're leaving first. You must be careful."

"With me as your guardian, Manager Meng's safety is absolutely guaranteed. Don't worry, Hanzhi." Zhou Pinzhi smiled and got into the car.

Zeng Zhi looked at me deeply and then started the car.

The moment the car passed by, I saw Zhou Hanzhi in the back seat looking at me with a worried look.

I must have seen it wrong. Why is he worried about me?

If I really got into his car, he should be worried. Now I am in Zhou Pinzhi's car, he should be relaxed and happy, why would he be worried?

I immediately looked away, lowered my head, fastened my seat belt, and thanked Zhou Pinzhi who was in the driver's seat: "Thank you, Manager Zhou."

I have to thank Zhou Pinzhi for passing by me in time, giving me the opportunity to find another ride.

It also gives me a chance to save some face in front of Zhou Hanzhi.

"Manager Meng, so I didn't recognize the wrong person tonight. Madam Zhang Si's guest is you." Zhou Pinzhi started the car, but suddenly turned around and asked me a question with a smile, "The person who was in the same room with Han Zhi before was you, right?"
