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

Yes, the Zhou family is the most powerful family in Beijing and Hong Kong, and Zhou Hanzhi is a popular figure in the capital market. Mr. Zhang also has connections with him, so of course he will be invited to Mrs. Zhang’s birthday party.

Seeing that I was silent, Yuan Tianye asked again: "What's wrong, baby, are you unhappy?"

I understood Yuan Tianye's intention. He was actually afraid that I would be unhappy because of Master Zhang's affairs, so he deliberately picked a topic to make me happy.

It’s not that I’m unhappy, I just got distracted when I suddenly heard Zhou Hanzhi’s name.

I haven't seen Zhou Hanzhi for many days, and this person hasn't come to disturb me during this period. When I suddenly heard this news from Yuan Tianye, my heart was like a surging wave.

"Is Zhou Hanzhi an important person? Does my Xuxu need to go out of his way to piss him off? My Xuxu doesn't even take him seriously, okay?" At this moment, Wu Ling walked in from outside, holding a red and gold-embossed invitation in his hand, "Xuxu, let's attend together tomorrow."

Mrs. Zhang Si also invited her.

But Wu Ling's suggestion was exactly what I wanted, so I immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll go with my sister."

Although part of the reason why Yuan Tianye and I pretended to be a couple was to avoid Zhou Hanzhi's entanglement, he no longer bothers me now, so there is no need for me to be deliberate.

"Sister Wu, you already have a boyfriend, why are you still trying to snatch my sister from me?" Yuan Tianye was anxious.

His anxiety reminded me, and I looked at Wu Ling: "Isn't Assistant Zeng going to attend with you?"

It's been so long, these two people have had enough of the quarrel, can they make peace with each other?

Wu Ling's smile, which was as bright as the sun just now, suddenly turned gloomy, and she looked cold and unhappy: "What boyfriend? I am a noble single aristocrat, I don't need a boyfriend. I want to attend the event with Xuxu. Come on, Xuxu, I will take you to pick out a dress."

Seeing her cold face, Yuan Tianye didn't dare to say anything.

It was really surprising. It had been almost half a month, and Zeng Zhi still hadn't managed to coax her back. What was the problem?

Zhang Tingyuan quickly handed me a box and smiled at me, Wu Ling, "Sister Wu, you don't have to take me to pick out a dress. My mother has already prepared a dress for me. It's all here."

"Madam is so nice to Xuxu. I'm so envious. Our Xuxu is so likable. She has such good popularity that it's hard to envy." Wu Ling said that he was jealous, but in fact, there was a smile on his face. It was obvious that he was happy for me.

I know that she is my sincere and good friend and she will not really be jealous of me, just as I also sincerely hope that she lives a good and happy life.

Wu Ling was anxious and rushed to open the box to check. After just one look, she gasped: "Su embroidery, this is a real luxury. Madam Zhang Si is really tasteful."

"My mother had it custom-made a month ago." Zhang Tingyuan smiled naively.

A month ago, I had just met Mrs. Zhang Si, but she actually started to customize a dress for me so early. She really loved me from the beginning.

"Thank my wife for me. I will be there as promised tomorrow." I said to Zhang Tingyuan, holding the heavy box, my heart warmed again.

Mrs. Zhang Si is really thoughtful and considers everything for me carefully.

Yuan Tianye originally wanted to send me home, but Wu Ling pulled me to help her try on a dress, so I followed Wu Ling.

The next day was Mrs. Zhang’s birthday. Wu Ling and I got up early. She hired a special designer to do our styling.

Old Mrs. Zhang’s birthday banquet was held in the old house of the Zhang family, not the villa I had visited before, but the old house of the Zhang family where the old lady lived.

This is a large Chinese-style house. As soon as you enter the courtyard, you will see two handsome welcoming pines. We were led by servants through several wind and rain corridors before entering the main courtyard.

It was already spring, and the courtyard was full of lush flowers and plants, and was green everywhere, reflecting the green of the stream in the courtyard. Red and golden koi were interspersed among them, and the beauty was elegant and classical. I walked and looked along the way, and couldn't help but sigh: "The Zhang family's old house is so beautiful, it can be said that there is a scene at every step."

"The Zhang family was once a wealthy and powerful family in Beijing and Hong Kong. When Old Master Zhang was alive, the Zhang family was at its peak. They specially selected this piece of Feng Shui land, carefully designed the drawings, and designed this house according to the Su family garden. From design to construction to decoration, they used top designers and top materials." Wu Ling said nearby.

However, at this point, she changed the subject: "It's a pity that after Old Master Zhang passed away, the Zhang family lost its pillar. Old Master Zhang was a lustful and hedonistic man. He was good at marrying women, but not at running a business. These younger generations are even worse. If it weren't for the old lady still keeping this family in check, I'm afraid the Zhang family wouldn't even be able to qualify as a bottom-tier wealthy family."

This is a typical family where it is easy to start a business but difficult to maintain it. I felt the same way but just listened silently without commenting.

Wu Ling sighed again: "Do you think this courtyard is magnificent? In fact, it's just a surface. If you look closely, many places have just been renovated. It was probably repaired temporarily for Mrs. Zhang's birthday. I came here when I was still in the Zhang family a few years ago. This house can no longer afford so many servants. With such a large family business, I'm afraid the only thing left is this magnificent place."

I was moved when I heard this. If that's the case, the Zhang family is just trying hard to maintain their outward appearance. This time, Old Lady Zhang's birthday celebration was arranged by Fourth Madam Zhang, and the renovation of the yard must have been handled by her as well.

I misunderstood her. No wonder she didn't contact me for so many days. She wasn't avoiding me on purpose, but she had so many things to deal with that she was too busy to spare any time.

She has to handle all the big and small matters, and it must be very hard for her, but she is still thoughtful enough to prepare the dress for me in advance. She is always so nice to me.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but quicken my pace. I wanted to see her as soon as possible.

"Xuxu, don't walk so fast, wait for me." Wu Ling chased me from behind.

I quickly stopped and waited for her. She was wearing ten-centimeter high heels today, so she had no problem walking, but she would stumble easily when she walked fast. She was chasing me so quickly that she tripped and her body leaned to the side.

"Sister, be careful." There was a pool of water next to us. I was worried about Wu Ling, so I hurried to help her.

However, a slender, white hand got in front of me and held Wu Ling's arm to steady her body. At the same time, a low voice sounded: "Wu Damei, are you still so stubborn? You insist on wearing such high heels. Aren't you asking for trouble?"

What this person said was really rude. I frowned and looked up, but I was stunned.
