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

I didn't expect Zhou Pinzhi to show up at this horse farm, and I didn't expect Zhou Hanzhi's attitude to change so drastically in an instant.

He dismounted in order to quickly distance himself from me, and lightly refuted Zhou Pinzhi's words, saying that he had no privileges at all for me, and that he only gave me this "reward" because I helped him make money.

What a great award.

He just hugged me intimately and called me Xuxu, wife, but now he has become the official, polite yet distant Manager Meng.

I really admire Zhou Hanzhi's ability to change his expression, because I myself was unable to immediately follow his changes. I sat stiffly on the horse's back for a long time before I spoke awkwardly: "Yes, Manager Zhou, please stop joking. How can I have any privileges in front of Mr. Zhou? The only person who can enjoy the privilege is Miss Lin."

It was only after I said this that I realized how bitter and astringent my voice sounded.

Of course I can understand why Zhou Hanzhi had such a contrasting change in attitude.

He was worried that Zhou Pinzhi would see our intimate actions, misunderstand our relationship, and then tell Lin Xixi about it.

Lin Xixi is the person he loves most in his heart. How could he bear to make her sad?

However, since he loves Lin Xixi so much, he should stay inseparable from Lin Xixi like before, bring Lin Xixi to the horse farm, and keep as much distance from me as possible.

Why did you want to be so close to me? Why did you want to sit behind me and teach me how to ride a horse?

I can't figure it out...

Maybe the smile on my face was really forced and bitter, Zhou Pinzhi didn't continue to ask questions this time. He put away the smile in his eyes and said apologetically: "Oh, so that's how it is. It seems that I really misunderstood. I thought my cousin and Miss Meng reconciled... I'm sorry, Miss Meng."

At this time, I should be more generous and say it’s okay. After all, although Zhou Pinzhi misunderstood, his attitude of admitting his mistake was very good, sincere, and timely.

But at this moment, my heart feels like it has been soaked in a jar of vinegar filled with pickled bitter almonds. It is sour, bitter and astringent, wrinkled into a ball, unable to stretch out, and I can't say anything for a while.

But why does my heart feel so sad?

The attitude change of an insignificant person should not cause any fluctuation or impact on me.

Meng Nanxu, don't be so useless.

"Such misunderstanding is very bad. I hope Manager Zhou will not misunderstand it next time." At this moment, a hurried sound of horse hooves came from behind, accompanied by an impolite shout, and Yuan Tianye riding a black-maned pony came to me.

He glared at Zhou Pinzhi fiercely, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face: "Zhou Hanzhi and my sister are just a normal investor and project leader. There is no other relationship. You have made such a blind misunderstanding and have a bad impact on my sister's reputation. Manager Zhou, can you take responsibility?"

When I saw Yuan Tianye coming, my originally agitated heart slowly calmed down.

I always feel at ease when he is by my side.

"Hey, Mr. Zhou is here too." The brown pony that Zhang Tingyuan rode was moving slowly. It took me a while to see him coming after I heard his voice. Unlike Yuan Tianye's anger, his simple face was full of surprise. "Have you changed your career now?"

"Change career?" Zhou Pinzhi was retorted by Yuan Tianye. His face was originally not very good. When he saw Zhang Tingyuan speaking so kindly, he opened his mouth to respond.

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, if you hadn't changed your career to become a matchmaker, why would you randomly match people up?" Zhang Tingyuan was still smiling, but his words were like piercing needles. "Mr. Zhou obviously has a girlfriend, but you insist that Sister Meng and him are a couple. Aren't you just making things up?"

Zhou Pinzhi's face became even uglier.

My mood has improved a lot, and if anyone can make me happy, it has to be my two younger brothers.

"It is indeed a mess, so please don't mess around again next time, Manager Zhou. I have already told Manager Zhou last time that Manager Zhou and I have no relationship other than a work relationship." My tone returned to normal, and I was ready to roll over and step down.

However, it was Zhou Hanzhi who helped me get on the horse just now. Dismounting the horse was even more difficult. I am a little afraid of heights, and at this moment, I was so frightened that my arms were shaking.

Zhou Hanzhi, who was standing below, obviously noticed this and he reached out his hand to me.

It was still that big palm.

I understood what he meant, he wanted to help me off the horse.

But I looked at Zhou Hanzhi's silent and distant face, and pulled a bitter smile at the corner of my lips, but avoided his palm: "No need, Mr. Zhou, please stay away from me in the future, and do less of these actions that are easy to cause misunderstandings. It doesn't matter if my reputation is damaged, but if Miss Lin misunderstands you and makes trouble with you, won't Mr. Zhou be in trouble again?"

When Zhou Pinzhi saw him just now, wasn't he very quick to avoid suspicion? Why did he forget about it now and come to help me again?

"That's right! Let me take care of my sister's affairs." Yuan Tianye reacted quickly. He had already rolled off the horse and rushed over to hold my hand.

He carried me steadily off Honglie's horse.

"Sister, I finally got you this time." He held my hand, smiling happily and proudly, "Look at my pony, isn't it taller and more powerful than his? Sister, you have just mastered the basic movements of riding a horse, do you want to come up and try it?"

Actually, after what happened just now, I no longer had the heart to ride a horse, but seeing Yuan Tianye's expectant eyes, my heart moved, I held his hand, and sat on his black-maned horse: "Okay."

One reason is that I don’t want to disappoint Yuan Tianye.

Secondly, I also wanted to prove to Zhou Pinzhi that there was no possibility of reconciliation between Zhou Hanzhi and I. It was just a matter of riding a horse. I could ride Zhou Hanzhi's horse, and I could also ride Yuan Tianye's horse.

There is actually another reason, but I don’t want to admit it…

"Sister, you are so handsome. The riding clothes you are wearing today obviously match my pony better, right?" Yuan Tianye's peach blossom eyes curved with a smile, and he looked at me with joy in his eyes, "Sister, do you like it?"

"Xiao Ye is right. I also think that I am a better match for this pony. I like it very much." I sat firmly on the horse's back and lowered my head to respond seriously to Yuan Tianye's question.

However, even if I didn’t look in Zhou Hanzhi’s direction, I could feel a pair of burning and sharp eyes staring at my face.

But I chose to ignore it and rode Yuan Tianye's pony forward.

"Young Master Zhou and Young Master Zhou, I won't disturb you anymore. I also have to go and accompany Sister Meng to ride horses." It was Zhang Tingyuan's voice behind him. This kid is still very polite.

He quickly chased after us again: "Sister Meng, you can try my pony later. Although my pony is a little slower and can't compare with Xiaoye's, it is definitely more comfortable to ride than Master Zhou's horse..."

Well, it seems that this is not very polite.
