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

Zhou Hanzhi?

I have been allergic to this name these days. When I heard this name, I turned my head involuntarily and looked in the direction of Yuan Tianye.

I saw a tall figure standing far away among the cars in the parking lot. He seemed to be leaning against a car smoking. He looked familiar, but the distance was too far for me to see clearly.

"Hey, it's really Mr. Zhou!" Before I could see clearly, Zhang Tingyuan beside me waved and greeted him, "Mr. Zhou, what a coincidence, you are here too?"

The tall figure turned around, and I finally saw the face clearly.

It’s Zhou Hanzhi for sure.

With such perfect body proportions and such a vivid and distinctive face, it is hard to find another person like him in the crowd. Zhou Hanzhi has always been highly recognizable.

Zhou Hanzhi put out the cigarette in his hand and strode towards us.

He seemed to be fond of crisp coats in winter, which made him look taller. At this moment, the buttons of his coat were unbuttoned, and he took big steps with the hem of his coat slightly raised. He walked out from the darkness in the distance, and the light on his handsome face became brighter and clearer.

The clearer it is, the more attractive it is. My eyes were fixed there and I forgot to move away.

Zhou Hanzhi's eyes were also fixed on my face.

I met his dark and deep eyes, and then I recalled what happened two days ago. I felt my chest churning and I couldn't calm down. In order to avoid getting into more trouble, I immediately avoided his gaze and lowered my head to help Yuan Tianye stuff things into the trunk.

I heard Zhou Hanzhi politely greet Madam Zhang Si and Zhang Tingyuan: "Madam Si, Master Zhang Liu."

"Mr. Zhou is here to shop in the supermarket too?" Perhaps because they had met twice before, Mrs. Zhang Si's attitude towards Zhou Hanzhi became much gentler.

"No, I was shopping with my mother." Zhou Hanzhi's voice was flat.

This is a large plaza with a supermarket on the underground floor and a shopping mall above.

Hearing Zhou Hanzhi's answer, my heart began to panic again.

Is Shen Hualan here too?

Then I guess Lin Xixi is there too.

Last time I topped up one million yuan into Shen Hualan’s beauty card. She called me to ask me out shopping but I refused. If she sees me this time, she will definitely ask me about that matter in person.

Only Zhou Hanzhi and I know the inside story of that matter. These details must never be known to Lin Xixi. If she knew, she would definitely be furious.

Even if Lin Xixi was not there, I could not meet Shen Hualan. After all, there was a group of people following me, and the things that happened between Zhou Hanzhi and me could not be known by these people around me.

So I quickened my movements and tried my best to stuff things into the trunk.

But the more anxious you are, the easier it is to make mistakes. I was trying to stuff it in, and Yuan Tianye next to me hurriedly reminded me: "Sister, there is an egg in it, don't use too much force..."

"Click."

Yuan Tianye's reminder was a second late, and I could already clearly hear the sound of the eggshell breaking.

I paused. Madam Zhang Si also heard the noise and turned to look at me. I looked up at her apologetically.

Mrs. Zhang Si just looked at me deeply and said nothing.

"What's wrong?" At this moment, Zhou Hanzhi's voice sounded again, with a little curiosity, "You bought so many ingredients, are you going back to cook?"

The reason why I was so anxious was that I wanted to pack up my things as soon as possible, leave here early, stay away from Zhou Hanzhi, and avoid Shen Hualan.

Now that Zhou Hanzhi asked such a question, I immediately winked at Yuan Tianye, hoping that he would find another excuse to get away with it.

"Yes, Sister Meng said she would cook for us tonight." I was so busy winking at Yuan Tianye that I forgot that there was a quick-talking Zhang Tingyuan here. He had already told the truth with a smug smile, "Mr. Zhou, you haven't tasted Sister Meng's cooking yet, right? Hehe."

I sighed quietly in my heart: My silly brother, who has just become an adult, is still so naive. If he were to be an undercover agent, torture might not work, but I would definitely get the answer from him.

Mrs. Zhang Si looked at me again, and then I saw her quietly reach out and pinch Zhang Tingyuan on the butt.

Zhang Tingyuan turned around in pain, his eyes wide open, and asked Madam Zhang Si with a surprised look, but he quickly retracted his gaze. I saw that he pursed his lips tightly, and stopped smiling and speaking.

"...Well, I haven't eaten it recently." Zhou Hanzhi's tone was still calm. I could feel his eyes fixed on my face again. The next moment he spoke again, "I heard that Manager Meng's cooking skills are very good. I wonder if it would be convenient..."

inconvenient!

I don’t want Zhou Hanzhi to come to my house for dinner!

But before I could say anything, Yuan Tianye next to me spoke first: "It's inconvenient! We made an appointment in advance, and I begged my sister for a long time before she agreed. Mr. Zhou, you want to eat for free just by talking? Then you are just like your wife Zhou, you are ridiculously shameless!"

"Xiao Ye, don't talk like that. It's rude." Mrs. Zhang Si frowned slightly and scolded Yuan Tianye.

Yuan Tianye's words were indeed too much. He said it was okay for Zhou Hanzhi to be thick-skinned, and it was okay for him to imply that Shen Hualan was thick-skinned, but he could not mention Shen Hualan's name and say that she was thick-skinned, as this would offend people.

Although Yuan Tianye has never been afraid of offending anyone, none of us want to see him being punished by Mr. Yuan to kneel in the ancestral hall again.

Mrs. Zhang Si scolded him, but she was actually protecting him.

Sure enough, after Mrs. Zhang Si said this, Zhou Hanzhi's dark face eased a little.

But my heart was in my throat. I was really worried that Mrs. Zhang Si would agree to let Zhou Hanzhi go for a free meal.

However, Mrs. Zhang Si's next words made me feel relieved.

She looked at Zhou Hanzhi with a smile, her face full of kindness: "But it is indeed inconvenient tonight. It's not that I don't want Mr. Zhou to have a free meal, but Xuxu's apartment is too small. We already have so many people squeezing into her small apartment. If there are two more people, I'm afraid there won't even be enough space to turn around. So, I have to disappoint Mr. Zhou."

A look of disappointment appeared on Zhou Hanzhi's face. He frowned and seemed to want to say something.

Mrs. Zhang Si immediately said, "Next time, Young Master Zhou will have a chance next time."

After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Zhou Hanzhi to speak, and called Yuan Tianye: "Xiaoye, have you put your things away? Close the trunk, and let's go."

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief and got into the car without hesitation.

Yuan Tianye's movements were even more agile. He got in the car, started the car, and drove it all in one go.

I didn't say a word throughout the whole process. They spoke for me.

Before leaving, Mrs. Zhang Si politely nodded to Zhou Hanzhi outside.

I looked at the tall figure standing there in the rearview mirror, and my heart finally settled down.

Thank God, I managed to avoid it.
