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

I was very surprised by Jiang Yin's arrival: "Why did you come here so suddenly? Why didn't you call me in advance to tell me? I was not prepared at all."

In fact, there is no need to prepare anything to meet Jiang Yin. This is just an excuse. I mainly feel that Jiang Yin came to the company to find me without even calling me, which is a bit unexpected and uncomfortable.

"Xuxu, what else do you need to prepare to see me? We are so familiar with each other." Jiang Yin didn't care, and then seemed to suddenly realize something, "Xuxu, you are not blaming me for coming uninvited, are you? I'm sorry, it's mainly because the matter is a bit urgent, and I happened to be near your company, so I came directly to see you."

I realized later that the discomfort Jiang Yin made me feel was not only because she came to the company to find me without even saying hello, but also because I became suspicious and wary of her.

She had asked for my address twice before, and she wanted to go to my house for dinner on the phone yesterday morning. Plus, Zhou Hanzhi reminded me last night that Jiang Yin was lying to me...

People have intuition. Although I thought about it all night and couldn't figure out what Jiang Yin lied to me about and why she lied to me, my intuition told me that there was something wrong with Jiang Yin.

Moreover, I never told her where my company was, but she came to the company to find me without even saying hello in advance, which was a bit presumptuous.

"Who would have the heart to criticize a beautiful woman?" I smiled calmly, turned off the computer, and walked out with Jiang Yin. "What emergency happened that made you so panicked?"

Jiang Yin seemed to have really encountered an urgent and difficult situation. She said anxiously, "It's that Zhou Pinzhi. I told you that I can't treat this man well, let alone get close to him. We just had a meal together yesterday and someone saw us. The news got to his old lady, and she..."

I was listening attentively when Jiang Yin's words suddenly stopped.

"What happened to Mrs. Zhou?" Since the matter concerned Mrs. Zhou, I became interested and couldn't help asking.

But I saw Wu Ling coming towards me, looking at Jiang Yin beside me with surprise and curiosity: "Xu Xu, who is this? Is she a new customer?"

"No, she is my friend Jiang Yin." I quickly introduced Jiang Yin to Wu Ling, "But she may be our client in the future. Jiang Yin and Mr. Zhou are schoolmates and colleagues. She is an investment banking elite who just returned from overseas."

"Did you just come back from overseas? No wonder I haven't seen you before. Hello, I'm also Xuxu's friend. My name is Wu Ling." Wu Ling was enthusiastic and generous. He immediately extended his hand to shake hands with Jiang Yin, and smiled and said with emotion, "As expected, beautiful women are surrounded by beautiful women. Xuxu is bright and generous, and Miss Jiang is elegant and dignified. It's really pleasing to the eye to stand together."

"Boss Wu is right. Beautiful women are surrounded by beautiful women. Boss Wu is charming and unforgettable." Jiang Yin held Wu Ling's hand, politely complimented him, and immediately let go of Wu Ling's hand, "I'll ask Xuxu for help... Boss Wu, do you want to have dinner with Xuxu too? Do you want to join us?"

Although it was a questioning tone, Jiang Yin's meaning was obviously that she didn't want Wu Ling to have dinner with them.

I can understand Jiang Yin. The matter she asked me for help was a private matter, so it was understandable that she didn't want others to know about it. So I didn't say anything.

Wu Ling was stunned for a moment, then smiled generously: "It's okay, Xuxu and I can talk about it this afternoon. I won't be a light bulb for Miss Jiang and Xuxu."

"Okay." Jiang Yin indeed showed a satisfied smile.

"Then I'll come back to your office to see you in the afternoon." I also told Wu Ling and walked out of the company with Jiang Yin.

As soon as I left the company, I couldn't wait to urge Jiang Yin: "Go on, what happened to Mrs. Zhou?"

"Xuxu, why are you more anxious than me when it comes to Old Madam Zhou?" Jiang Yin was not so anxious at this moment. She smiled at me, then frowned, looking very helpless. "Then Old Madam Zhou wanted to see me and asked me to visit the Zhou family's old house."

Mrs. Zhou actually wanted to see Jiang Yin? And she wanted her to go to the Zhou family's old house?

This news came too suddenly and was far beyond my expectations.

I didn't have much direct contact with Old Lady Zhou, but I have a certain understanding of this person. She attached great importance to the training of her children and grandchildren. Not only did she train them in a militarized manner, but she also attached great importance to their marriages. She valued equal status in marriage, and the daughter-in-law she married must be helpful to the family. She would never allow the men in the family to marry someone who was below her status.

I thought that after knowing that Zhou Pinzhi was infatuated with Jiang Yin, Mrs. Zhou would force Zhou Pinzhi to stay away from Jiang Yin just like she forced Zhou Hanzhi in the past. After all, although Jiang Yin was a rich girl, her family background was far inferior to that of the increasingly prosperous Zhou family. I didn't expect that she would take the initiative to ask to meet Jiang Yin and even invite Jiang Yin to visit the Zhou family's old house.

Yes, even though the Jiang family is far inferior to the Zhou family, it is still a wealthy family after all, and Jiang Yin has also achieved success abroad. Mrs. Zhou must have heard about it, so she was not so intense.

But I think the fundamental reason should be Zhou Pinzhi's determination. No matter how strong Mrs. Zhou is, she can't resist the fact that her grandson really likes her, so she agreed to let him meet Jiang Yin first.

Unlike Zhou Hanzhi and I back then, Zhou Hanzhi didn’t like me that much in the first place, so when Old Lady Zhou pushed him, he decisively threw me away. The difference between loving someone deeply and not caring about them is so huge…

My chest was filled with emotions and my throat felt bitter. I couldn't spit it out or swallow it. I felt so uncomfortable.

Jiang Yin hugged my arm with a sad face at this moment: "Xuxu, what do you think this is? Zhou Pinzhi and I have no relationship. I still have to go to his house for dinner. I don’t know how to face his grandmother. How embarrassing! However, I am not afraid of offending Zhou Pinzhi, but I dare not offend Mrs. Zhou. She can really cut off our family’s business... My father just called me, and I feel like I am going to be numb. Xuxu, what do you think I should do?"

"It's OK, since you're here, you should just make the best of it. They invited you to dinner, not to ask you to go through fire and water. What's so difficult about that? Just leave after dinner." I was moved, but I gave a suggestion calmly, "Anyway... no matter whether you choose Zhou Pinzhi or Zhou Hanzhi, you have to meet Old Madam Zhou. Just treat this as an opportunity to get to know her in advance and improve her favorability. Go!"

"Xuxu, what are you talking about? How is this related to Zhou Hanzhi? Stop it, it really gives me a headache..." Jiang Yin frowned even more tightly, and it was obvious that she was really troubled by this matter.

But when she looked at me, her eyes suddenly lit up, her frown slowly relaxed, she hugged my arms tighter, a polite smile appeared on her face, and she said hesitantly: "Xuxu, how about you go with me?"

She finally asked the question I wanted her to ask.
