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

I came to see Zhou Hanzhi because I have something very important to tell you, and it needs to be resolved immediately.

It was precisely because of this that I came to Rongyu without even having lunch, that I did not refuse Zhou Pinzhi's help and followed him up, and that I broke into Zhou Hanzhi's office despite Zeng Zhi's obstruction.

But I really regretted it now. If I had known earlier, I should have listened to Zeng Zhi's advice and waited outside for Zhou Hanzhi to finish dealing with things before talking to me alone.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world. I have already broken in and things have progressed to this point.

"Yes, I came to see Mr. Zhou for something." Facing Mrs. Zhou's inquiring gaze, I nodded slightly.

"Seeing that you came in such a hurry, it must be something very important. What is it?" Old Madam Zhou continued to ask.

When she asked, her eyes, although old but still clear, stared at me with a searching look.

That feeling of being scrutinized came back. The way she stared at me was exactly the same as when I first met her two years ago. It seemed as if these eyes were staring into my heart, seeing through all my thoughts clearly.

Behind her eyes, full of inquiry and scrutiny, were Zhou Pinzhi's eyes, cold, cunning, and like a snake.

These two pairs of eyes stared at me one after another. I felt a chill on my back and quickly became alert.

"Manager Meng, please talk to us later if you have anything to say. We are dealing with family matters now. Please leave first." At this moment, Zhou Hanzhi on the side suddenly spoke.

His tone was very cold, but his speech speed was a bit fast. After saying this, he called out to the outside: "Zeng Zhi."

"Here!" Zeng Zhi answered and opened the door, making people suspect that he had been waiting outside the door the whole time. He nodded and bowed as soon as he came in, "Manager Meng, this way, it just so happens that you haven't eaten yet, and the takeaway I ordered for you has arrived. Eat first, and when you're done, President Zhou will be able to talk to you."

"So, Manager Meng came to see my cousin for private matters, so he can't let grandma know?" Before I stood up, Zhou Pinzhi's voice sounded again.

This person is really a sinister and cunning poisonous snake. He always extends his fangs to bite you when you are not paying attention.

If you are accidentally bitten by it, you will die immediately.

Madam Zhou obviously still had doubts about the relationship between Zhou Hanzhi and me, but he kept trying to bring me and Zhou Hanzhi together. After Zhou Hanzhi clearly expressed that Lin Xixi was the only one in his heart, he still hinted that there was a secret between me and Zhou Hanzhi.

He just instigated Old Madam Zhou to suspect that Zhou Hanzhi was resentful of her because of what happened two years ago, and now he is trying to bring trouble upon me. If he can't kill Zhou Hanzhi, he's going to target me?

Sure enough, after Zhou Pinzhi said this, suspicion was faintly revealed in Old Madam Zhou's eyes.

"Manager Zhou, do you really have a fever today? Why are you always talking nonsense? Mr. Zhou and I don't even have a personal relationship. I'm looking for him for business." I tried my best to calm myself down and make my smile look natural. Then I lowered my head and took something out of the bag I had been holding tightly, and handed it directly to Madam Zhou. "The old lady happens to be here too, so let her take a look at this first."

When I took the things out of the bag, I could clearly feel three burning eyes staring at my hands.

Two of them were from Zhou Hanzhi and Zeng Zhi. Their eyes were tense and worried, and I understood what they were worried about.

The other bouquet was from Zhou Pinzhi. His eyes were obviously excited and expectant. I also knew what Zhou Pinzhi was expecting and excited about. It could be said that the reason why he "kindly" helped me go upstairs and "kindly" brought me into Zhou Hanzhi's office was for this moment.

"What is this?" Mrs. Zhou had a puzzled look on her face, but she quickly took the thing from my hand, opened it, and looked at it carefully.

Zhou Pinzhi also leaned over to take a look. As he looked, his brows furrowed. He quickly turned his head to look at me with a look of surprise and shock: "Report?"

"Yes, it's already the beginning of the month, and the earnings of last month's Monogatari have come out. I'm rushing to take the report to Mr. Zhou for his signature." I nodded seriously and explained patiently.

Yes, although I was in a hurry to find Zhou Hanzhi to get my diamond bracelet back at noon, I happened to meet Wu Ling when I was leaving, and she stuffed this report into my bag.

She said, I was just sending normal messages to Zhou Hanzhi to ask for items but someone misinterpreted it as seducing him on purpose. Now I take the initiative to go to Rongyu to find him. If someone makes a big fuss about it again, it will be even more disadvantageous to me, so it’s better to use official business as a cover.

And this is not a cover-up. Our company has indeed issued the report, and it does need to be given to Zhou Hanzhi for review and signature.

I originally thought that there would be no need for such a pretext, but I didn't expect that it would not only work, but be very effective.

Mrs. Zhou had already opened the report and read it carefully. A satisfied smile gradually appeared on her face: "The income of this project is not bad."

In fact, the revenue of Wushi is still a little behind those of the top few on the list, but it cannot resist its high return on investment and excellent cost-effectiveness. The initial investment has been recovered just a few months after its launch, and the current net income is even more substantial. It can be said that this is another achievement worthy of praise for Zhou Hanzhi.

And Zhou Hanzhi just said that he was cultivated by Old Madam Zhou, and his achievements represent Old Madam Zhou's achievements. Seeing this, Old Madam Zhou was of course happy.

However, Zhou Pinzhi's face was filled with visible disappointment. He stared at me with his dark eyes and asked again, "Manager Meng is looking for my cousin just for this. Is there nothing else?"

"Of course." Seeing him unable to hold back his laughter, I felt like laughing.

Zhou Pinzhi is really good at disguising himself and lurking. If Zhou Hanzhi hadn't reminded me again and again to be careful of this person and directly pointed out his intentions and actions, it would have been difficult for me to realize that this person was so insidious.

However, even though I saw through his true face, this person did not panic, and he was still as natural and calm as before when facing me.

It was only at this moment that I saw a hint of loss of control in him.

I lost control because my expectations were not met. It seems that in this invisible and intangible game with him, I finally gained the upper hand temporarily.

Now that you have the upper hand, play with his mentality and make him continue to lose control, so that you can better defeat him.

Zhou Pinzhi's face instantly brightened up, with a hint of anticipation. I smiled and said, "Recently, some rumors about me have appeared on the Internet, which has put me in a passive position. The rumors have also affected Mr. Zhou, so I came to discuss with Mr. Zhou how to deal with these rumors together to avoid causing unnecessary losses to each other and the project."
