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

Chapter 721

I thought I heard wrong.

What did Mr. X just say?

He said that my problem was solved by him?

"Sorry to interrupt you, Mr. X. You just said that you solved my problem?" I was eager to confirm, so I couldn't help asking.

My heart was in my throat, my fingers unconsciously clenched into fists, and I stared at the slender hand in the video.

With such fair and well-proportioned hands, and feeding the koi so leisurely, it is obvious that he is a person who lives a life of luxury and leisure.

What’s more, this investor has always been very mysterious. No one knows his background or even his exact age or appearance. He has not even made his name public, and only uses X as his code name.

This shows that he is still a person who attaches great importance to personal privacy.

Would such a person take action for my sake?

Why would he do this for me?

But Mr. X answered my question affirmatively: "Yes, it's me."

He admitted it!

My eyes widened, speechless.

Two hours ago, Wu Ling and I were still guessing who the person who helped me was, but I never expected that two hours later, the person who helped me admitted it himself.

The person who removed the trending searches, deleted the topics and entries, and suppressed the news across the entire network was Mr. X.

This result really surprised me!

But I couldn't figure it out: "It's you? But why? Mr. X, why would you..."

"Shouldn't I be responsible for you?" Mr. X's tone remained steady, but his speech speed increased. "Manager Meng is my project leader. Shouldn't I be responsible for you?"

This answer is perfect, it perfectly warms and comforts my heart.

But I know very well in my heart that the other party just has high emotional intelligence and says this on purpose, but in fact, he does not need to be responsible for me.

The project leader can be replaced. I am not some rare and important figure. This project may need me, but I may not be the project leader.

However, Mr. X insisted on having me be the project leader. He also took so much trouble for me, removing hot searches and deleting topics on Weibo to reduce the popularity, which was a considerable expense.

Since Mr. X is a senior investor, he would understand that the most cost-effective approach is to change a project leader instead of spending money to handle these matters for me.

My throat felt dry, and my eyes felt slightly hot and wet: "Mr. X..."

"We are all family, so please don't say anything sentimental." The slender hand waved in front of the camera, "Manager Meng, if you feel guilty, please take care of yourself. I don't want you to get into trouble again, understand?"

"Okay, I will definitely not let Mr. X down." I nodded heavily and agreed seriously.

There are many good horses but few good horse trainers. Mr. X values ​​me so much, so I should take good care of myself, devote myself to the project, complete the tasks with guaranteed quality and quantity, and make more money for Mr. X when the game is launched.

I also understand that Mr. X chose to help me because he trusted my ability. He knew that if he protected me, I would use my ability to earn back the cost he spent a hundred or a thousand times over.

"If only you could really remember what I said..." Mr. X seemed to sigh.

I don’t know if it was my illusion, but Mr. X’s words sounded helpless, as if he had no way to deal with me.

After Mr. X revealed the inside story just now, everyone at the scene was shocked by this fact.

Ma Ning and Xi Ying were surprised at first, then looked at each other and smiled.

After the brief accident, Yan Dong's brows furrowed even more tightly.

Feng Wenting was the most shocked. She stood there with an expression of disbelief. She was stunned for a long time before looking at me. Gradually, a look of unwillingness appeared on her face. She frowned as if she wanted to speak.

But he was stopped by Yan Dong's stern look.

Mr. X also regained his composure at this time: "Feng Wenting, you did a good job in reporting, but I know this is not the credit of you alone. It is the result of the joint efforts of the entire team. The whole team can work together to achieve such results. I think it is also because I chose the right project leader at the beginning. So I don't plan to replace my project leader. I reject your suggestion."

Feng Wenting's face became even uglier. She stood there, biting her lips hard, looking extremely depressed.

Mr. X didn't seem to care about her reaction. He continued, "In addition, I am quite satisfied with the current progress of the project. There is no need to speed up the progress of the project by extending the working hours. I hope everyone can maintain a good state and mood every day and produce high-quality content."

"Mr. X is indeed wise!" Ma Ning was the first to agree with Mr. X's decision.

Xi Ying also pursed her lips and smiled: "Under the leadership of Sister Nan Xu, we will produce content that will satisfy Mr. X."

Yan Dong didn't say anything, but forced a smile and nodded in agreement.

Only Feng Wenting seemed to be extremely aggrieved. She quickly packed up the folders on the table, hugged them all in her arms, and walked out of the meeting room angrily.

Xi Ying, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but remind her: "Wenting, the meeting is not over yet."

"Lackneck!" Feng Wenting paused, turned her head and glared at Xi Ying fiercely, left these words angrily, and walked out with heavy steps.

Xi Ying's face turned red instantly and she was too speechless to speak.

Ma Ning was indignant: "How dare you curse me!"

Feng Wenting had already left, leaving Yan Dong feeling embarrassed and helpless.

Fortunately, Mr. X didn't care. He said calmly, "Let's stop here today. The meeting is over."

I breathed a sigh of relief. Feng Wenting is young and has a strong personality. I expected that she would lose control of her emotions and leave angrily after being touched by Mr. X today. However, the project cannot do without Feng Wenting now, and I don't want to let her go.

But I was worried that Mr. X would get angry and make some demands because of Feng Wenting’s behavior, which would put me in a difficult position being caught in the middle.

But I think I'm worrying too much. People like Mr. X are naturally very rational. He must know Feng Wenting's value and will not harm his own interests because of a momentary impulse.

However, just as I was about to pack up and end the meeting, Mr. X suddenly added, "However, Mr. Yan, I hope you can pay more attention to your girlfriend. This time I will not bother with her for the sake of Manager Meng, but if she targets Manager Meng again next time, I will have to ask her to leave the project team."

I suddenly stopped packing my things and looked at the screen in disbelief.

In the video, the slender hand was still feeding the fish leisurely, but when the fish food fell into the fish pond, my heart was like the surface of the water, with ripples forming.
