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

I interrupted You He without thinking: "I'm not looking for Zhou Hanzhi!"

I just don't want to have anything to do with Zhou Hanzhi anymore, so I chose Zhou Pinzhi as a breakthrough point to enter the Zhou family's old house.

"Xuxu, I know you don't want to have anything to do with Zhou Hanzhi, but Zhou Hanzhi at least helped you out of danger. Someone who has helped you once is likely to be willing to help you again." You He's tone became more urgent. "But Zhou Pinzhi is different. Not only has he never helped you, he has also been secretly testing you. I always feel that he has bad intentions towards you. Not to mention that he won't help you if you are in danger, I'm afraid he himself is also a danger."

"But now, to me, Zhou Hanzhi is far more dangerous than Zhou Pinzhi. I don't want to have anything to do with this person anymore, Youhe." I sighed and whispered.

Zhou Hanzhi helps me?

If it was before that night, I might have thought that Zhou Hanzhi was really willing to help me, but after that night I understood one thing more clearly.

Zhou Hanzhi's attitude towards me is like Zhang Jiahao's attitude towards Wu Ling, driven by possessiveness.

But I am even worse in Zhou Hanzhi's eyes. In his eyes, I am a person who exchanges my body for money.

Who likes to be looked at and humiliated by their ex like this? I can't accept it. If it weren't for work, I really don't want to see this man again.

Not to mention getting involved with him and entering the Zhou family through him.

You He didn't know what happened between Zhou Hanzhi and me. He thought I was doing it because of Nannan: "Xu Xu, do you think Zhou Hanzhi is dangerous because you are worried about Nannan? I understand, but Zhou Pinzhi is too deep."

"But besides Zhou Pinzhi, do I have any other candidates?" I asked him.

Yuh was silent.

"I can't look for Shen Hualan either. To some extent, she is more dangerous than Zhou Hanzhi. Moreover, if I get too close to her, it will arouse Lin Xixi's suspicion, which will cause more trouble." I continued, "So, relatively speaking, Zhou Pinzhi is the safest choice."

I was afraid that Zhou Hanzhi would find out Nannan’s true identity, and I was even more afraid that Shen Hualan would investigate Nannan.

What's more, Shen Hualan is now eager to use me to deal with Lin Xixi. If I get close to her, not only will I be used by her, but Lin Xixi will also be jealous of me. I don't want to experience the pain of a sprained neck for a second time.

"But Zhou Pinzhi's behavior has been a little abnormal recently, and I still think..." You He wanted to persuade me.

I immediately promised, "I will be careful and won't reveal my feelings too early. We are just having a meal tonight, and I already promised him. He even called me at noon to confirm. It would be bad to break the promise at this time."

"…Then you must be careful. I will be guarding nearby tonight. If anything happens, just call me directly." It seemed that Youhe had no choice but to remind me to be careful.

I also told him to be careful and we hung up the phone quickly.

That night, I drove to the restaurant on the boat where Zhou Pinzhi and I had agreed to meet.

This boat restaurant is located inside the scenic area.

At that time, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, the lights were on, and there were ancient Soviet-style buildings all around. There were lanterns hanging on dozens of exquisite boats on the river, and the river surface was sparkling, which was very poetic.

As Zhou Pinzhi led me onto the boat, he smiled and said, "This is a traditional Chinese restaurant. Each boat has one table for each guest. Business is very good. You have to make a reservation in advance to get a seat."

"In such a beautiful environment, even if you don't eat, just sitting there drinking tea and enjoying the scenery is a very pleasant experience." I smiled and nodded.

What Zhou Pinzhi had told me before turned out to be true. The scenery here at night was indeed wonderful. More importantly, each boat was not only equipped with a master rower, but also a masked girl wearing ancient-style clothes at the stern, sitting in front of a guzheng. The gauze curtains on both sides of the boat moved slowly with the evening breeze, casting a layer of tenderness and grace on this cold winter day.

There was a warm stove under the table in the middle of the boat, where tea was being boiled. There were also small hand warmers next to the seats, so people would not feel cold at all on the water.

"There is tea, but you can't just drink tea. Miss Meng has a bad stomach, so she needs to eat three full meals." Zhou Pinzhi poured me tea with a smile.

I picked up the teacup and was moved when I heard his words. I didn't expect him to be so attentive and actually remembered that I had a bad stomach.

At this moment, a clear and pleasant female voice suddenly came from outside: "Young Master Zhou is here too."

Zhou Pinzhi and I looked towards the source of the sound, and saw a tall, slender figure appear at the bow. She was wearing a black coat and a classic Burberry plaid scarf, which made her look even more outstanding, elegant and generous.

The two lanterns on the bow emitted orange light. I looked at the girl's slightly smiling face and felt that she looked familiar.

I was still trying to identify her, but she had already recognized me. She called out in surprise, "Meng Nanxu? Why are you here too?"

The moment she called out my name, I recognized her at once. I stood up in disbelief and called out a nice name: "Jiang Yin?"

Yes, this elegant girl is Jiang Yin, the former beauty of the Finance Department of Nanjing University.

When we were on campus, this beauty from the Finance Department who was famous throughout the school, was pursued by many talented and handsome men but she remained unmoved and said that the only person she liked was Zhou Hanzhi. When Jiang Yin said this, Zhou Hanzhi immediately became the target of public criticism, but Zhou Hanzhi did not take it seriously. Jiang Yin did not wait for Zhou Hanzhi's confession and took the initiative to confess to Zhou Hanzhi on the stage of the New Year's Eve party.

In this sense, we are rivals in love.

However, unlike Lin Xixi, Jiang Yin was generous and elegant. Although Zhou Hanzhi rejected her confession in public, which made her quite disappointed, she did not feel resentment or do anything in private. She even made friends with me. Finally, when Zhou Hanzhi and I confirmed our relationship, she generously gave her blessings.

I still like her very much.

Later I got the news that she was studying abroad. I didn’t expect that we would meet here after two years.

Still in this scenario.

"Miss Meng and Miss Jiang also know each other? What a coincidence." Zhou Pinzhi reacted immediately and walked to the bow to greet Jiang Yin, "Is Miss Jiang also having dinner at this restaurant tonight? Is she alone or has she made an appointment... Hey, cousin?"

At this moment, I also followed Zhou Pinzhi to the bow of the boat, but as soon as I stood still, I heard Zhou Pinzhi's word "cousin".

I looked up and froze.

At this moment, the tall man walking slowly towards Jiang Yin was actually Zhou Hanzhi.

He stood beside Jiang Yin, but his eyes passed Zhou Pinzhi and looked at me behind him, narrowing his eyes slightly: "What a coincidence, Pinzhi and Manager Meng are having a tryst here?"
