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

Chapter 254: Thinking

Two eyes looked at me at the same time, one with sharp eyes and a hint of anger in his brows, the other with a seemingly gentle expression, but with a hint of provocation in his eyes.

The atmosphere became inexplicably tense.

Before, I would have tried to find a way to smooth things over, but I was exhausted tonight and really didn’t have the extra time to deal with Zhou Hanzhi, so I followed Yuan Tianye’s words and said, “Yes, Mr. Zhou, it’s too late today, downstairs. There are still a lot of media reporters here, let’s talk about anything tomorrow.”

What I said was reasonable, and Zhou Hanzhi couldn't find anything wrong with it. He just looked at me with an increasingly unhappy look.

"Sister, what you said makes sense," Yuan Tianye raised his chin and glanced at Zhou Hanzhidao, "Mr. Zhou, let's excuse ourselves first."

After he said that, he took me and left.

After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped, pointed to the elevator on the other side and said, "In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Mr. Zhou, please take the elevator on the right."

After getting on the elevator, Yuan Tianye smiled from ear to ear and couldn't help but complain: "Anyway, things have happened. If Zhou Hanzhi comes to trouble my sister again, we can't let it go."

I looked at Yuan Tianye in surprise, and happened to meet his beautiful peach blossom eyes. The brat winked and said, "What? Wasn't this big show at the award ceremony written by my sister?"

I secretly sighed, really clever.

Yuan Tianye said matter-of-factly: "To be honest, sister should have done this a long time ago, but how did you convince her to drink the cup of West Lake Longjing? She is not so easy to adapt to your personality."

I felt a little embarrassed: "The method is clumsy, but it seems to be very effective."

Yuan Tianye grinned after hearing this: "My sister's teeth and claws are as cute as I imagined."

"Don't make trouble."

"I'm serious," Yuan Tianye put away his smile and turned into a serious face for a second: "If this happens again in the future, sister, just show your claws and I will fully support you."

After returning to the guest room, I sat in front of the mirror with a tired look on my face. What flashed through my mind was the scene where Zhou Hanzhi spoke just now.

He has always cherished words like gold, but just now, not only did his speech speed become faster, but his tone was also mixed with a little anxiety.

Could it be that Lin Xixi complained to him again?

When I was confused, my phone rang, and it was actually a video call from my aunt.

After answering the call, the aunt's helpless look appeared on the other end of the video, and beside her was her daughter with a small mouth pouting.

Like he was angry.

I asked with concern: "What happened?"

"You suddenly asked me to go to the aquarium in the middle of the night, and you asked me to give you a specific time," my aunt said with a trace of helplessness in her soft voice, "I didn't agree, so I kept clamoring to call you."

In the camera, the little girl secretly gave him a probing look after hearing the sound, and then immediately looked away.

Rarely revealed his quirky side.

"I'm still on a business trip in Yuncheng," I said truthfully, "but now that the itinerary for the aquarium has been decided, let's fulfill our promise after returning to Beijing and Hong Kong, okay?"

After hearing the response, Nannan immediately put her head over and said softly: "Xu Xu is true to his words. Nannan wants to learn from Xu Xu."

Yes, he has returned to his previous appearance as a little adult.

Seeing the little girl pretending to be calm, I comforted her: "Can you have a good rest tonight?"

Nannan pulled the quilt obediently and immediately got into bed. Her neat movements made my aunt and I both laugh.

With this phone call, my fatigue was relieved. Not long after, I fell into a deep sleep, until a noisy ringtone woke me up again.

I glanced at the caller ID and was shocked.

It's Zhou Hanzhi's phone number.

It was half past one in the morning.

I pinched my eyebrows, looked at the flickering screen of my phone, suppressed the unhappiness in my heart, and then pressed the answer button.

"what's up?"

"You were the one who pulled me to expose myself in front of the media before. Now you change your face at every turn. You don't think it's appropriate to say even two sentences, right?"

The questioning tone was particularly obvious in the quiet night.

I couldn't help but frown when I heard that, and couldn't help but reply: "Mr. Zhou, could you please check the time before calling?"

"It seems that Manager Meng slept well."

Hearing this sarcasm, I felt restrained anger surge up: "Zhou Hanzhi, what on earth are you going to say?"

When I finished speaking, I realized that my tone was harsh, but I didn't intend to apologize for being disturbed from my sleep. I just held my phone and remained silent.

After a while, another voice came from the other end of the phone: "There is a sunroom on the top floor. Zeng Zhi has taken care of the hotel. Let's meet."

"Now?"

"Ah."

Just as I was about to refuse, the phone line was cut off.

I knew that the farce at the awards ceremony would definitely have consequences, but I didn't expect that Zhou Hanzhi was so crazy that he would have surgery on me before he could return to Beijing and Hong Kong.

No matter what, the evidence is in hand, this day will come sooner or later, and it is time to tell him what is right and wrong.

Thinking of this, I pulled out the video on my phone and angrily went to the top floor.

When they arrived in the sun room, Zhou Hanzhi had already arrived. To his surprise, he was still wearing the formal suit tonight, but his tie was pulled off at some point and hung messily on one side.

And the face that was originally so punchable actually looked a bit tired and lonely at this moment.

It is very different from the cold and noble image he usually has.

When they looked at each other, I calmly stepped forward and said preemptively: "If Mr. Zhou wants to talk to me about tonight's award ceremony, I think I need to explain."

Hearing the sound, Zhou Hanzhi was slightly startled and said in surprise: "Mr. Xu told you about our meeting?"

Mr. Xu is one of the persons in charge of the organizer, and he is also the person who praised me in front of Zhou Han tonight.

Now it was my turn to be a little confused. After glancing at Zhou Han, I said frankly: "I haven't seen Mr. Xu since the thank you reception."

As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly realized that Zhou Hanzhi might have met Mr. Xu again after the thank you reception.

Is it because of this that he couldn't wait to call me over?

If that was the case, my little actions would have been obvious long ago.

"I……"

"you……"

After a short pause, Zhou Hanzhi and I actually spoke at the same time.

I put away my preemptive thoughts and pretended to be polite: "What does Mr. Zhou have to say?"

Zhou Hanzhi glanced at me and said: "Mr. Xu said that in order to prevent the media from commenting on my private life again, you proposed to them that Lin Xixi should not be allowed to come on stage, and you also promised them that you would take full responsibility if I were blamed. Responsible, right?”

My brain suddenly short-circuited.

The words were indeed spoken by me, but at the time it was to teach Lin Xixi a lesson and make her a little smarter. How come it came to Mr. Xu’s mouth and I turned out to be a well-intentioned person?

"Lin Xixi also said that it was you who repeatedly suggested that she give up the opportunity to go on stage to receive the award," Zhou Hanzhi spoke again, his eyes slowly falling on my face, "You said that only by doing this will the reduction of The media criticized me, right?"

Zhou Hanzhi asked me two questions in a row, which made me a little confused. After thinking for a while, I finally realized something. Mr. Xu from the organizer should have described my calculation as good intentions, while Lin Xixi described her good intentions as calculation. , by mistake, when it reached Zhou Han's ears, it had a positive effect.

I smiled perfunctorily and simply made up for the mistake: "There were too many media people at the award ceremony, so I had to use some tricks."

"Aren't you afraid that I might mistakenly think you have ulterior motives?"

A rhetorical question pressed in my ears. I looked at Zhou Hanzhi quietly and said calmly: "I don't have a positive image in Mr. Zhou anyway, do I?"

Zhou Hanzhi seemed to be choked, and after a few seconds of silence, he suddenly said: "Since Manager Meng knows that I will think you have bad intentions, why do you think about me so unhesitatingly?"

"I'm working overtime again today, so I'll just write here and see you tomorrow."
