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

I hesitated for a moment and didn't press the send button.

But Jiang Yin immediately sent a second message: "Actually, the organizer of this exhibition is a friend of Zhou Pinzhi. I like that painter and really want to go to his exhibition, but I'm afraid it would be awkward if I met Zhou Pinzhi there alone. Xuxu, please, can you accompany me for a while?"

When I saw that I would meet Zhou Pinzhi at the art exhibition, my brain got excited and I pressed the send message button without hesitation.

The number of people invited to this kind of private art exhibition is limited. Since the organizer is Zhou Pinzhi's friend, Zhou Pinzhi must be included in the invitation list.

It is inevitable that Zhou Pinzhi and Jiang Yin will meet at the art exhibition, and isn’t their meeting what I want?

As for the dangers and problems Zhou Hanzhi mentioned, I think as long as I am careful and cautious, nothing will go wrong.

Jiang Yin's reply was full of joy and emotion: "Xu Xu, you are so nice. I knew you would help me. How about we meet at the gate of our community at ten o'clock on Sunday morning?"

"No problem, I will be there on time." I replied immediately.

Of course I would help her. Not only would I help her to match her up with Zhou Pinzhi, but I would also be Jiang Yin's most intimate friend.

After deciding the time and place, I casually asked, "Was this invitation to your exhibition given to you by Zhou Pinzhi?"

"Xuxu, how did you know?" Jiang Yin was very surprised.

I laughed out loud on the other end of the phone and sent a message: "I can tell fortunes, and I figured it out."

Actually, I don’t know how to tell fortunes at all. I just guessed the answer to the question just now, but I didn’t expect that I guessed it right.

Jiang Yin had just returned from abroad. She said she didn’t have many friends in China, and even her work circle needed Zhou Hanzhi to bring her into it. How could such a private art exhibition possibly invite her?

But the organizer was Zhou Pinzhi's friend, and Zhou Pinzhi cared so much about her that he must know her preferences. It was a normal thing for her to help her get two invitations to please her beloved.

Jiang Yin's thoughts were exactly as I had guessed. She actually had feelings for Zhou Pinzhi. Otherwise, a girl as proud as her would never have accepted Zhou Pinzhi's help even if she hadn't seen the exhibition.

She was not afraid of meeting Zhou Pinzhi at all. She was clearly looking forward to meeting Zhou Pinzhi, but she didn't want to progress with Zhou Pinzhi so quickly, so she dragged me in as a cover.

If they wanted to talk together, they would ask me to be the middleman and use the banner of a gathering of friends. If they didn't want to talk to Zhou Pinzhi, they would use the excuse that they had something to do and needed her to accompany them, and they could get away smoothly.

Jiang Yin seemed to be shocked by me: "Really? Xuxu, you can tell fortunes? Why have I never heard you say you can do this before?"

Haha, this silly girl, she actually believed my lies.

I was about to reply to the message when I heard a knock on the door.

The knock on the door was light and rhythmic, sounding very polite.

I got out of bed, walked over in my slippers, opened the door, and unexpectedly saw a familiar face.

"Sister Nanxu, so you are at home. That's great. I just prepared the meal. Can you come up and check the learning results?" Lin Xixi looked well-behaved and smiled sweetly with sincerity in her eyes.

And her expression was very natural. If I hadn't seen her slightly swollen eyes, I would have almost forgotten that we had just had a little unpleasant experience in the evening.

I didn’t expect Lin Xixi to be so forgiving and take the initiative to invite me to dinner.

But I knew very well that tonight they were a young couple having a candlelight dinner in their own home, and it would be inappropriate for me to go up and act as a third wheel.

So I politely said, "Thank you, Manager Lin, for your kindness. However, I have already brushed my teeth and am ready to go to bed. Manager Lin, please ask General Manager Zhou to inspect the results."

"Sister Nanxu, do you dislike me? But what I said this afternoon really didn't mean for you to cook for me. I really wanted you to accept my learning results." Lin Xixi suddenly became frustrated, her eyes turned red instantly, and she looked pitiful. "I know you don't like me, but I don't have any other intentions. I just want to live a peaceful life under your command. Don't you even want to give me a chance to apologize?"

How does the saying go? Some people know that the other person is a Green Tea, but they can never escape from the clutches of Green Tea, because it is really hard to resist when facing Green Tea.

Just like me, I clearly knew that I shouldn’t get too close to Lin Xixi. This person’s weakness was pretended, and her sinister and cruel nature was her true nature.

But when I looked at her red eyes filled with tears, I still followed her in a daze. When I came to my senses five minutes later, I found myself sitting at the dining table in Lin Xixi's house.

On my left is Zhou Hanzhi, and on my right is Lin Xixi. I am like a huge human-shaped light bulb, very bright.

Even Zhou Hanzhi seemed to be a little overwhelmed by my big light bulb. He frowned and squinted his eyes, clearly unhappy.

He must be blaming me for disturbing their time alone.

I was thinking about finishing the task quickly and leaving the space for the young couple.

But Lin Xixi actually took out a small bottle of wine from the cabinet: "Hanzhi, just now you said that we two can't finish this wine, and you refused to let me take it out to drink. Now that Sister Nanxu is here, the three of us can have a glass each, and we will definitely be able to finish it."

I was confused. Not only did I have to review the learning results, but I also had to drink?

Zhou Hanzhi frowned and said, "That won't work either. Manager Meng has a bad stomach and can't drink."

As soon as he said this, the air in the room became strangely quiet for a moment.

I was even more confused. I couldn't understand what Zhou Hanzhi was trying to do. Why did he care about my stomach in front of his girlfriend?

Do you think Lin Xixi doesn't hate me enough? Do you want to bring more hatred to me?

Lin Xixi almost couldn't hold on to the smile on her face. The corners of her lips twitched, and her voice was a little bitter, clearly disappointed: "Yes, I forgot, Sister Nan Xu has a bad stomach and can't drink..."

"Yes! I can drink! I can drink if I eat more food." I rushed to interrupt Lin Xixi and said, "In fact, my stomach is better now, and there is no problem with drinking a glass. Besides, Manager Lin prepared a table of delicious food, which goes well with the wine."

After I said that, I regretted it. I had originally planned to just try the food symbolically and leave, so why did I say that I could drink?

Now, I'm afraid I'll have to stay here longer.

Dislike...

Sure enough, Zhou Hanzhi's brows furrowed even more tightly, and the look in his eyes when he looked at me became even more displeased.

He turned his head and looked at Lin Xixi gently, patiently explaining: "I mainly don't want you to drink. You have a weak constitution and can't drink easily. Why are you so disobedient and insist on drinking?"

"But I want to drink. Besides, Sister Nanxu just said that this table of delicious food is perfect with good wine." Lin Xixi pouted slightly and acted coquettishly towards Zhou Hanzhi, "You just agree, okay, Hanzhi?"

"...I really can't do anything about you." Zhou Hanzhi finally gave in.

Lin Xixi immediately smiled again.

I looked at these two people, she was making trouble and he was laughing, she was willful and he was doting, what a perfect match and loving couple.

My heart was filled with a sour feeling and I almost couldn't breathe.

I understand now. The reason why Zhou Hanzhi suddenly cared about my stomach was not to make me hate him. It was just a playful act between a young couple.

And I am just a part of their play.
