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

As soon as I got home, I went into the bathroom to take a shower. I stood under the shower head with my eyes closed. The warm water poured down over my head. My turbulent emotions gradually calmed down, and my originally confused thoughts gradually became clear.

The reason why Zhou Hanzhi and I coincidentally appeared in our community together was that he came to see Lin Xixi.

The way he looked at me in the elevator just now was all my illusion. There was no tenderness or doting in them.

Even if it wasn't my illusion, I couldn't let myself get caught up in it. After all, I had already thought it through.

To Zhou Hanzhi, I am like Wu Ling in Zhang Jiahao's heart, a woman he once had in the past.

Because it has been owned and made public, it is marked.

Men of their status cannot tolerate their ex-girlfriends being pursued by men in the same circle as them. If that happens, they, as the ex-girlfriends, will feel humiliated.

So even if I was abandoned by Zhou Hanzhi, he would not watch me being chased away by someone else.

In order to prevent himself from losing face, he would come closer to me, just like flying a kite, pulling the string in his hand from time to time to pull me closer, and doing something or performing some ambiguous actions.

However, he would not completely hold me in his hands, because he was already holding Lin Xixi's hand, so he was just ambiguous, pulling me closer behind people, and in front of people, he would immediately put me back in the air, distant and polite.

That bit of tenderness and pampering was the kite string that he pulled tightly.

That's it.

But I still remember what he said.

He said Zhou Pinzhi was investigating my affairs, and they were about my personal life.

Why did Zhou Pinzhi investigate my life?

What was he investigating?

Thinking of this, I suddenly opened my eyes: "Nannan!"

No matter what Zhou Pinzhi investigated about me, since he was investigating my life, he would definitely follow the clues to find my aunt and uncle, and then he would find Nannan!

There is already a Lin Youde who is secretly following my uncle, and he may pose a threat to my aunt and my daughter. If another Zhou Pinzhi comes along, I'm afraid I will really have to move my aunt and my daughter to another place.

But if I don't get close to Zhou Pinzhi, how can I enter the Zhou family's old house? I have no other choice.

Are you asking me to give up the idea of ​​entering the Zhou family’s old house?

The two conflicting thoughts kept fighting back and forth in my mind all night long.

So when I arrived downstairs of the company the next day, I ran into Zeng Zhi who was sending Wu Ling to work. He was shocked: "Sister-in-law, didn't you go to dinner with Manager Zhou last night? Why did you get into a fight with someone? Both of your eye sockets are black."

"In my dream, I was beaten into a national treasure." I followed his words and made a joke, then asked in surprise, "How did you know that I had dinner with Manager Zhou last night? Did Mr. Zhou tell you?"

Zhou Hanzhi drove the car himself last night without Zeng Zhi. He probably gave Zeng Zhi a day off so that he could accompany Wu Ling.

But as a president, why did he report his whereabouts to his secretary?

"No, it was my baby who mentioned it yesterday at noon, and I heard it." Zeng Zhi explained quickly.

At this moment, Wu Ling happened to get out of the co-pilot seat and was also stunned when he heard this: "Did you hear it from me?"

Then I remembered that when Wu Ling came into my office yesterday, I just received a call from Zhou Pinzhi. I confirmed the specific location and time of dinner in front of Wu Ling, but I didn't expect that Wu Ling would pass this message to Zeng Zhi.

But Wu Ling has never been a person who likes to gossip, especially about me. She would never tell Zeng Zhi about it.

"Yes, baby, I called you yesterday at noon to apologize and wanted to treat you to dinner. You said you also wanted to go to the restaurant on the ship, and that sister-in-law and Manager Zhou also made an appointment there. I checked and found that the restaurant needed to be booked three days in advance, so I changed to another restaurant." Zeng Zhi said with a smile, but explained to me seriously, "Sister-in-law, this is news I heard accidentally, and baby didn't pass it to me on purpose. She is not the kind of person who likes to spread news, so please don't misunderstand her."

But I thought of something else and frowned slightly: "You just said that you checked the restaurant yesterday at noon and it said that you need to make a reservation three days in advance?"

"Yes." Zeng Zhi nodded.

Wu Lingze's eyes flashed, and he immediately asked, "What's wrong, Xuxu?"

"It's nothing. I met Mr. Zhou by chance in that restaurant last night. Mr. Zhou and his team made a reservation at noon. Why do you have to make a reservation three days in advance?" I casually said what was on my mind.

In fact, it was Jiang Yin who said this last night. She said that she had always wanted to invite Zhou Hanzhi to dinner, but Zhou Hanzhi had always declined and was busy and unwilling to accept. However, yesterday at noon Zhou Hanzhi suddenly sent her a message to invite her to dinner and even booked the same restaurant.

It's not surprising that everyone coincidentally booked the same restaurant. After all, the restaurant had just opened and was well advertised and hyped up. But why was Zhou Hanzhi able to make a last-minute reservation while Zeng Zhi couldn't?

Zeng Zhi was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, this is not surprising at all. For restaurants that announce that they need to make reservations in advance, the restaurant owner actually reserves a few tables every day for people like Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou only needs to make a phone call and the owner will definitely arrange it. But for ordinary people like me, of course I need to make reservations in advance."

He was telling the truth. Such industry insider information is not uncommon at all.

I nodded and was about to speak when Wu Ling suddenly asked, "Xu Xu, when you were having dinner with Manager Zhou last night, did you meet Mr. Zhou again?"

"Yes, what a coincidence. Mr. Zhou also brought his friends to dinner at that time. It just so happened that everyone knew each other, so they shared a table and ate together." I answered casually.

Wu Ling frowned, grabbed Zeng Zhi's tie, and asked sternly, "Zeng Zhi, tell me the truth, did you tell Mr. Zhou that Xuxu had a dinner date with Manager Zhou, so Mr. Zhou followed her?"

"No, no." Zeng Zhi suddenly stuttered, his face full of panic, and he denied it incoherently.

"You still say no?" Wu Ling grabbed his ears and said coldly, "Do you know that your ears turn red every time you lie? Just for this reason, you can't run away!"

Sure enough, I saw that Zeng Zhi’s ears were both red, as if they had been twisted.

“I, I’m not…” Zeng Zhi’s face also turned red, and his eyes clearly began to avoid looking at me.

Wu Ling became even angrier: "I was wondering why Xuxu always ran into Mr. Zhou wherever he went, as if Mr. Zhou had inserted a locator into his body. I didn't expect that it was you, the insider, who tipped him off!"
