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

Yan Dong called to apologize. This was within my expectations. He is a person who cares about his friends’ feelings and was afraid that I would be upset after being misunderstood.

I expected that he could reconcile Feng Wenting and I. Even though he and Feng Wenting were not in a relationship, they were close friends.

I actually didn't care that much about this matter. It was just that when I was about to reply, a pen fell onto the floor along the edge of the table. I subconsciously bent over to pick it up, and didn't respond to Yan Dong's plea immediately.

However, just as I picked up the pen and stood up, Yan Dong's tone on the other end of the phone became more urgent: "Nan Xu, are you still angry? I also think that Wen Ting really went too far this time. This child is good in every way, but she is too impulsive and easily impatient. The key is that when she is impatient, she becomes rude and refuses to answer the phone. I am getting more and more helpless with her. I am so speechless with her. Nan Xu, it is right for you to be angry with her."

I was slightly stunned after hearing this. So, after Feng Wenting hung up the phone with Yan Dong, Yan Dong called her again immediately, but she refused to answer.

Miss Feng's bad temper is directed at outsiders. She always takes the initiative to show goodwill towards Yan Dong. This is the first time I see her being so upset with Yan Dong.

It seems that Feng Wenting is really angry this time, but Yan Dong has always been gentle, tolerant and very patient. I believe he will coax Feng Wenting into good shape.

On the other end of the phone, Yan Dong said again: "Nan Xu, how about this, I will go to the company right away, pick up Wen Ting and you, and we will have a meal together. I will let Wen Ting toast you and apologize in person, okay?"

"It's not necessary in the severe winter," I said quickly.

I've been very busy and tired recently, especially last night I didn't get enough rest, and I have a slight cold today. I just want to have a good sleep today, how can I have the energy to drink?

Besides, today's incident was not a big deal. I ordered everything I should have ordered for Feng Wenting, and there was nothing else. There was really no need to go out for dinner together just for this little thing.

"Yes, Nanxu." But before I could finish, Yan Dong interrupted me hastily, "Actually, I'm doing this for our project. We are all in the same project team, and the HERO project is at a critical moment now. We need to work together, so I want you and Wenting to have a harmonious relationship, which will be more beneficial to the progress of the project."

"I know Yan Dong, but it's not that I don't want to forgive Feng Wenting. It's precisely because I have already forgiven her that I don't think it's necessary to make such a big fuss over such a small matter." I finally found an opportunity to speak and quickly explained, "Ms. Feng misunderstood, she didn't mean to cause trouble, and although she has a bad temper, she has no problem with her work. Don't worry, I won't have an opinion about her just because she misunderstood me once."

Feng Wenting has high work enthusiasm and efficiency. With her around, projects progress much faster.

Moreover, even if it is for the sake of the project, I am willing to tolerate and accept this person.

Who knows she is really talented? I value her talent.

"That's good. I knew you were willing to forgive her, Nan Xu." Yan Dong was obviously relieved on the other end of the phone, but he said, "But I still want to invite you to dinner, Nan Xu."

"But I'm too tired today and I really don't have the energy to keep the appointment. It's okay. We have so many opportunities to eat out anyway. Can we talk about it later?" I declined with a smile.

My reasons were sufficient and Yan Dong did not continue to insist, so we hung up the phone soon.

I packed up my phone and backpack and walked out of the office. I went to the bathroom and accidentally heard Feng Wenting's voice coming from the cubicle next to me.

She was on the phone, her tone was coquettish and a little childish.

"I don't care. No matter what reason you give, I won't accept it. Unless you accompany me tonight, Teacher Yan, I can barely feel better."

"I don't want to go to a restaurant on a boat or a mountain. I want to eat at your house. You cook for me and I'll bring the wine."

"Teacher Yan, stop making excuses. If you don't agree, I will go to your school to arrest you!"

It turned out that she was talking to Yan Dong on the phone. I couldn’t hear clearly what was said on the other end of the line, but Feng Wenting’s voice soon became cheerful: “Okay, then it’s settled. I will leave the company in a while and go directly to your house. We will stay drunk and sleepless tonight.”

It seems that Yan Dong agreed to her request.

I knew that Yan Dong has always been a gentle and tolerant person, and he would definitely be able to coax this young lady. I don’t have to worry about them anymore, let alone the project progress being delayed.

Yuan Tianye went to his own studio in the afternoon for something. I took a taxi back home in the evening. When I got home, I didn’t even have dinner and fell asleep immediately.

The next day I felt refreshed, my cold was gone, and my work pace was much faster.

Coincidentally, Zhou Hanzhi and Lin Xixi haven't been around in front of me these two days, so I've been more focused and busy.

It was not until Wednesday noon, just after I finished a morning's work, that I received a call from Zhou Pinzhi.

"Manager Zhou, is there anything you want to talk to me about?" I picked up the phone casually, and saw the office door was pushed open and Wu Ling walked in.

It was inconvenient for me to talk to Wu Ling because I was on the phone, so I motioned for her to sit down first.

Wu Ling sat opposite me, but his face was clearly filled with resentment, and he looked a little strange.

At this moment, Zhou Pinzhi's gentle voice with a smile came from the other end of the phone: "Manager Meng, you are really a noble man who forgets things easily. Didn't we agree to have dinner together tonight when we were at the racecourse this weekend?"

"If it wasn't for Manager Zhou's reminder, I would have really forgotten it." I pretended to have just remembered it and said apologetically, "I've been too busy with work recently."

"Haha, it's okay. It's not too late for Manager Meng to remember it now. I just made the call about this matter, nothing else." Zhou Pinzhi laughed loudly.

I smiled politely and hung up the phone. Then I looked at Wu Ling, whose mood had evolved from resentment to grievance, and asked anxiously, "What happened in the company again?"

"The company is fine, it's..." Wu Ling shook his head and paused.

"If it's not a work matter, then it must be a private matter?" I breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Ling's appearance just now really scared me. I thought something went wrong with the project again.

I walked over, put my arm around Wu Ling's shoulders and comforted her: "Then tell me quickly, is it that those new little wolfhounds and little puppies from Jindis didn't serve you well? Or is it that Assistant Zeng's clumsiness has made you unhappy again?"

When I mentioned the little wolfdog and the little milk puppy, Wu Ling's expression didn't change much, but when I mentioned Zeng Zhi, Wu Ling gritted his teeth: "He's not stupid! He looks honest and shy, but he's full of tricks!"
