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

Zhou Hanzhi's arrival caught me off guard.

Moreover, he also used the word "embarrassing".

How should I put it, when things have reached this point, it is indeed a bit strange for us to meet with Lin Xixi in private.

What's more, Yan Dong and I also set up a recorder trap against the little girl.

It was easy to hide this from Lin Xixi, but it would be very difficult to escape Zhou Hanzhi's eyes.

In an instant, my heart couldn't help but hang up.

Fortunately, Lin Xixi was sensible and smoothed things over: "Hanzhi, you misunderstood. Sister Nanxu and I just got together in private. We were... quite happy."

After all, at such a young age, lying is still a bit unnatural.

Zhou Hanzhi also noticed it. He sat down next to Lin Xixi, glanced at the recorder on the table, and asked, "What is this?"

"A gift," Lin Xixi spoke before Yan Dong and I, and explained, "A gift from Sister Nan Xu to me."

After she finished speaking, she looked at me longingly.

I could only follow her words: "Manager Lin has been in the company for so long. He has no credit but hard work."

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard Zhou Hanzhi sneer: "Manager Meng gave me this gift at the right time."

Zhou Hanzhi was right to be sarcastic. The purpose of giving gifts when Tangtang and Lin Xixi were in such a situation can be imagined.

But I couldn't tell Zhou Hanzhi the true purpose of the recorder, so I could only make mistakes.

"Hanzhi, you really misunderstood Sister Nanxu," the sweet voice fell into my ears. Lin Xixi leaned towards Zhou Hanzhi affectionately and said in a coquettish tone, "But I thought about it carefully. I think I did something wrong with Tangtang."

She paused and made up her mind: "She is my and Sister Nanxu's colleague after all. Otherwise, this matter should end here, right?"

When Lin Xixi said this, she seemed to be willing to turn hostility into friendship, interpreting generosity to the extreme.

Zhou Hanzhi looked at Lin Xixi deeply, then looked at me, and said, "You did the same thing last time and didn't care about her, but you see, some people just push their limits."

The last time he was talking about was when Tangtang complained about Lin Xixi in front of me.

Obviously unwilling to change the story.

"Hanzhi," Yan Dong, who had been silent all this time, spoke up seriously, "the little girl is young and does things recklessly, but she did things under Nan Xu and Miss Lin, and she really made trouble in court. It does both disadvantages and disadvantages, what do you think?"

Zhou Hanzhi sneered when he heard this, his black eyes fell on Yan Dong's face, and he said rudely: "Professor Yan is teaching me how to do things?"

The air seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

I didn't expect Zhou Hanzhi to be so unkind when he came to protect Lin Xixi, so he immediately smoothed things over and said, "Mr. Zhou misunderstood, Yan Dong just wanted to make a big deal out of a big deal, no..."

"Really?" Zhou Hanzhi, with a layer of cold air all over his body, interrupted me directly and said quietly: "Manager Meng knows Professor Yan very well."

I suddenly choked.

How should I put it, although Zhou Hanzhi and Yan Dong were not close friends, they had both been in the student union of Nanjing University, so they could be regarded as acquaintances. Zhou Hanzhi could just quarrel with me, there was really no need to anger him.

But Yan Dong was not angry. Instead, he explained, "Hanzhi, you know I didn't mean that."

"She can pour coffee on Xixi today, and throw garbage on my head tomorrow," Zhou Hanzhi said in a stiff tone, "You said she is young, but she is an adult, right? Why should I spoil her?"

At this point, I could tell that Zhou Hanzhi still cared about Tangtang "bullying" Lin Xixi.

He doted on her and couldn't see the other side of the matter.

Even though Lin Xixi had asked for mercy, all he could see was the kind and generous Zhang Zhongjiao.

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly became awe-inspiring, and I said sincerely: "Mr. Zhou, is this matter really non-negotiable?"

Zhou Hanzhi glanced at me and said decisively: "Yes, hasn't Manager Meng already found a lawyer? We'll see you in court then."

After saying that, he led Lin Xixi away, and even his back looked inhumane.

I never thought we would get into a lawsuit.

What’s more, I didn’t expect that Zhou Hanzhi would even know everything about our private contact with lawyers.

"This matter cannot be rushed," Yan Dong comforted me before we left, "I will consult the relevant people carefully and contact you if I have any news."

I thought of Zhou Hanzhi's dagger-daggered attitude towards the severe winter at the dinner table, and said tactfully: "I have already troubled the class committee too much. I will take care of the rest."

Yan Dong was slightly startled, hesitated for two seconds, and said, "That's fine, I'll do whatever you want."

After bidding farewell to the harsh winter, it was already time for the lights to come on, and not long after, Wu Ling called.

"Pick me up at the Vienna Winery..." She stammered, obviously drunk, "Just say it's urgent."

I didn't dare to delay and drove there immediately.

When I pushed the door open and walked in, I saw her as a woman surrounded by three or four men, and I felt very distressed.

I drank three drinks in a row before picking him up.

After entering the garage, Wu Ling immediately took off his disguise and complained: "If my aunt hadn't been trying to get information about the Qiao Yaoke, she didn't bother to talk to them, but you, you said I could handle it, why did you still drink it?"

I felt very uncomfortable: "In future situations like this, you have to take me with you."

Wu Ling saw what I was thinking, came over, hugged me, and said, "It's okay. Sister Xiaojiu can handle this. The important thing is that sister got the news about Xiaoyaoke."

Wu Ling said that in two days, Xiaoyao Ke will appear at the recent fan meeting, hidden.

This is great news for us.

I really don’t want Tangtang to make her unhappy again.

After sending Wu Ling back to his residence, I thought about it and felt that Tangtang's matter must not be brought to court.

Now it seems that I can only ask Zhou Hanzhi again.

Wu Ling could risk everything for the company, but my face is nothing.

When the taxi stopped downstairs at Rongyu Group, night had fallen. I took a deep breath and walked into the building.

But he was stopped by the security guard on duty.

"It was your boss Zhou who made an appointment with me," I opened my eyes and lied. "My phone is out of battery, so I need you to help convey it."

The security guard looked at me suspiciously, half believing it or not.

The situation was urgent, so I risked my life: "Don't worry, I have a close relationship with Mr. Zhou, and he won't blame you."

As soon as I finished speaking, the security guard suddenly stood up straight and bowed behind me: "Hello, Mr. Zhou."

When I turned around and looked, I felt ashamed.

Zhou Hanzhi and Zeng Zhi were standing one meter away.

Judging from Zhou Hanzhi's stiff expression, he must have heard the conversation between me and the security guard.

"Mr. Zhou, this lady said..."

I didn't want to be blacklisted by Rongyu's security system, so I forced a smile and said, "Mr. Zhou, why are you back? I...I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Probably because of drinking, when I spoke, my voice was a little softer than usual.

It's meant to be complimentary and flattering.

Zhou Hanzhi seemed to have sensed this, his brows furrowed and he said in a bad tone, "Have you been drinking?"

He didn't chase me away directly.

I nodded, pinched my palms, and asked shamelessly, "I'm a little dizzy. Can I lend you a cup of tea from Mr. Zhou?"

Hearing the sound, a flash of sarcasm flashed through the man's eyes. After snorting coldly, he walked straight to the elevator entrance.

Not a single extra line was given to me.

In an instant, I felt like I had fallen into an ice cellar, and my heart slowly sank.

As smart as Zhou Hanzhi, how could he not see my little thoughts?

But after all, I am not Lin Xixi, and I cannot get any sympathy from this man.

It was then and it is now.

Just when I was about to give up, Zeng Zhi's reminder suddenly reached my ears: "Sister-in-law, don't stand, the elevator is coming soon."
