The elevator was very stable and quiet. Zhou Pinzhi and I stood side by side. We were both very silent, watching the numbers slowly jumping on the elevator screen.

"Manager Meng, have you had a quarrel with my cousin recently? I noticed that my cousin has been in a bad mood in the past few days." Zhou Pinzhi suddenly asked a question.

I was stunned, and I quickly glanced at him, then quickly retracted my gaze and smiled: "Manager Zhou, you are joking. Mr. Zhou and I have always had a working relationship, and our personal relationship has always been bad."

It's not just a recent quarrel; our relationship has always been bad.

This Zhou Pinzhi is really cunning. The last time Zhou Hanzhi and I acted out the scene, we clearly fooled him. He already knows that our relationship is not good.

This time, the fact that Zhou Hanzhi had exposed my chat records was almost known to everyone. We had already become enemies, but Zhou Pinzhi actually wanted to test me and asked me if Zhou Hanzhi and I had a quarrel.

But Zhou Pinzhi did not give up the test: "Really? Manager Meng and my cousin have a bad personal relationship? Then why did Manager Meng send messages to my cousin privately? You guys talk on the phone quite frequently. I see that your call frequency is even more frequent than that of his so-called official girlfriend."

I really want to kick Zhou Pin.

How can this guy be so good at confusing right and wrong and making up stories?

Zhou Han and I haven't called each other many times in a month. We chatted on WeChat only more frequently during those two days when I asked him for a diamond bracelet. No matter what, it's impossible for us to call each other more frequently than Lin Xixi, my official girlfriend.

Lin Xixi is Zhou Hanzhi's favorite. Not only do they often talk on the phone, but they also spend almost every day together.

If Zhou Pinzhi's fabricated words were to get out to others, I would be put back in the blame that I had worked so hard to get rid of!

"I don't think Manager Zhou is drunk today, so why is he talking nonsense? Manager Zhou and I seldom interact privately, so how could I possibly interact more frequently than his official girlfriend? Besides, how could Manager Zhou know so much about his cousin's private affairs, as if he had planted a private detective to follow and spy on his privacy?" I smiled for dear life and met Zhou Pinzhi's deep eyes.

Perhaps Zhou Pinzhi did not expect me to be so calm, nor did he expect that I would fight back against him so directly and sharply.

He was obviously stunned for a moment, but then he quickly responded and laughed. He slapped himself on the forehead and said, "I may have a cold and a fever, and I am so dizzy that I am talking nonsense. What I said just now was just a joke to Manager Meng. How could I possibly pry into my cousin's privacy? Manager Meng, please don't take it seriously."

"Really? Manager Zhou has a fever? Then you have to take medicine quickly. Otherwise, it would be a shame if such a smart brain as Manager Zhou's is burned out." The curve of my lips deepened, and the fingers hanging by my sides were curled up tightly.

There is really not a single good person in the Zhou family. They are all difficult to deal with. No matter who you deal with with the surname Zhou, you have to be extremely careful. If you are not careful, you can easily fall into their trap.

Fortunately, the elevator door opened with a ding at this moment, and we arrived at the top floor.

Zhou Pinzhi had regained his usual gentleness and nodded politely to me, asking me to leave first.

I gripped the handle of my bag tightly, stepped out of the elevator door first, and walked straight to the president's office.

"Manager Meng..." I had just walked to the secretariat when Zeng Zhi's voice and figure rushed out from inside to stop me. He was still holding the phone in his hand, and his face was full of smiles. "Why are you here? When did you come? Why didn't you notify me in advance? I could have gone down to greet you in person."

"I wanted to inform Assistant Zeng, but he didn't give me a chance. He didn't even answer my call. How could I have the nerve to do that?" I could guess without even looking at the screen of his phone that the call must have been from the guy at the front desk.

Although it was Zhou Pinzhi who brought me up, the guy at the front desk must have called Zeng Zhi to inform him in order to avoid being held responsible. I guess Zeng Zhi just received the call.

Zeng Zhi has been following Zhou Hanzhi for so long that she has learned to lie without blushing. She has never answered my calls, but when she saw me, she could still smile so naturally and speak so enthusiastically!

I said something veiled to him, gave him a sidelong glance, and continued to push him rudely: "If it weren't for Manager Zhou sending me up, I wouldn't be able to climb up to your top floor."

"It's my fault. I've been so busy with General Manager Zhou these past two days that I missed a lot of calls. I didn't expect that I even missed Manager Meng's call." Zeng Zhi apologized faster than I could walk.

He glanced quickly behind me, as if he just noticed that Zhou Pinzhi was following me.

Zeng Zhi stopped me and led me to the reception room: "Mr. Zhou has been wanting to explain things to Manager Meng these past two days, but he has never been able to find time. I didn't expect Manager Meng to come in person. That's good, but Mr. Zhou has an important guest in his office right now. Manager Meng, please come with me and sit here for a while. I'll make you some tea."

What a lackey, his words are sweeter than anyone else's.

I took a look and saw that Zhou Hanzhi's office door was closed, and the entrance to the reception room was adjacent to his office door. Even if Zhou Hanzhi wanted to slip away, he could not escape my eyes.

Maybe he really has other guests now, so I decided to follow Zeng Zhi to the reception room to wait.

Zeng Zhi heaved a sigh of relief and became even more enthusiastic. As soon as he entered the reception room, he took out the tea in the exquisite gift box and brought me some exquisite snacks: "Manager Meng, you came here at this time, you must not have had time to eat? Mr. Zhou said that you have a bad stomach and cannot be hungry. Eat some snacks first to fill your stomach."

The conditions at Rong Yu are better than those at our small company. The snacks are obviously freshly made and delicious.

Various things have been happening to me these past two days, and I've been so exhausted that I have no appetite at all. At noon, I came to Rong Yu with a lot of anger, and wanted to talk things out with Zhou Hanzhi. Now that I've arrived at Rong Yu and am sure that I can see Zhou Hanzhi, I feel a lot more at ease. Facing the sweet-smelling snacks and Zeng Zhi's attentive smile, my stomach actually growled, which is rare.

I'm actually a bit hungry.

I had a thought, but before I could pick up the snack, I saw a figure walk straight to the door of Zhou Hanzhi's office and knocked on the door twice with his fingers: "It's me, Pinzhi."

That's Zhou Pinzhi.

Zhou Pinzhi and I walked here one after the other. When Zeng Zhi invited me to wait in the reception room, he did not invite Zhou Pinzhi to join us.

At this moment, Zhou Pinzhi actually went straight to knock on Zhou Hanzhi's office door.

What was even more surprising was that Zhou Pinzhi was not stopped. Zhou Hanzhi's office door was quickly opened, and then Zhou Pinzhi walked into the president's office.
