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

Chapter 834

Although Zhao Feihan said this with a smile and as if he was joking, I could tell that he seemed hurt by my words.

I panicked and quickly changed my words: "Brother Zhao is my savior, not a monster. How could I hide from you? Brother Zhao, please don't joke like that."

Even though Zhao Feihan made me feel more and more in danger, I always felt that he was deliberately approaching me and had ulterior motives, but he was my savior after all, and the favor of saving my life was too great, and I have not yet repaid him for it.

So when facing him, I can't help feeling guilty and don't want him to be unhappy.

What's more, he saved my life, but I tried every means to avoid him. This is neither reasonable nor moral.

"Xuxu is busy with another big project. She was in a video conference for the whole morning. She was really busy." Wu Ling also quickly spoke up to help me explain, "But she was thinking about you. Look, she rushed over to see you as soon as the meeting over there ended."

"Is that so? Poor little thing, does he care about me so much?" Zhao Feihan was not sad for long, and he soon smiled again.

"Actually, the meeting hasn't ended yet. It's just a halftime break, and it only lasts thirty minutes," I added.

Zhao Feihan seemed even happier. He smiled so hard that his eyes curved. "She came over during the halftime break. It turns out that poor little girl really took the time to come and have dinner with me. It seems that I misunderstood her."

"It's just a misunderstanding. My Xuxu is clearly very concerned about Brother Zhao's affairs." Wu Ling took the opportunity to smooth things over and joked, "Brother Zhao, you have to serve tea instead of wine and apologize!"

"Okay, I'll apologize." Zhao Feihan actually stood up and apologized to me while holding the cup of water.

"Brother Zhao, don't be like this. I don't deserve it." I quickly held his wrist and asked him to sit down.

The atmosphere became relaxed, and I sat between Wu Ling and Zhao Feihan and started eating.

Zhao Feihan started a new topic: "Poor little girl, I heard from Mr. Wu that the project you are working on has already started to be launched on a trial basis?"

"Yes, that's what we discussed in today's video conference."

Zhao Feihan nodded: "That's great. After the trial launch, the project will come to an end. The poor little thing will finally have some time to rest."

When I heard him say this, I was moved, but at the same time, I had a sense of uneasiness.

As expected, Zhao Feihan continued to smile and said, "I can rest assured that this new project I invested in will be handed over to you, little poor girl."

I frowned, and I knew that he had deliberately waited in the meeting room for so long, probably not just to wait for me to have dinner together.

He still wants me to be the person in charge of the kitchen game project.

"Brother Zhao, I'm still very busy with the project I'm currently working on, which takes up a large part of my energy. I'm afraid I don't have much energy to devote to other projects. What's more, I'm not the only one in our company who is qualified to be the project leader. There are other excellent candidates." I pondered for a moment, looked up, and explained to him seriously.

The smile on Zhao Feihan's face faded slightly.

Seeing this, Wu Ling immediately agreed with me: "Yes, Brother Zhao, it's mainly because Xuxu has limited energy. The HERO project is still in a critical period and she can't let go. Besides, our company does have other excellent candidates. Let's discuss it and choose another person in charge. It would be good to let Xuxu play a supporting role."

Zhao Feihan didn't say anything.

Wu Ling immediately added, "Our company's Director Yuan is very good. Brother Zhao also knows him. He is a serious and responsible person. Moreover, Xuxu is from the same family as him. If the couple works together, they will definitely be able to complete Brother Zhao's project."

"A couple?" Zhao Feihan suddenly raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, they are going to get engaged soon, it won't be long, it will be the day after tomorrow." Wu Ling replied casually, "This kitchen game is Xuxu's idea, let Director Yuan be in charge, Xuxu is the assistant, men and women work together and it's not tiring, it will definitely have better results, just like another couple in our company, after they became a couple, apart from anything else, their work efficiency is really high."

Wu Ling was talking about the couple Yan Dong and Feng Wenting.

This is indeed the truth. Although Feng Wenting would cause trouble for me because of the severe winter, she did a very good job at work. Moreover, after these two people got together, not only did their work not suffer due to their relationship, but they were very efficient.

The reason why HERO was able to enter the trial launch stage so quickly is inseparable from Feng Wenting's efforts.

But Zhao Feihan didn't seem to pay attention to the point that Wu Ling and I were talking about. He just frowned and asked me again: "The day after tomorrow? Poor little thing, are you really going to get engaged to that guy? Isn't your decision a bit too hasty? Didn't you seriously consider what I said to you before?"

He told me that I was not suitable for Ono and I should be matched with someone stronger.

But in my heart, Ono is my sun. He warms me, nourishes me and shines on my armor. He is the most suitable partner for me.

I don't like to chase after the strong, I want to become strong myself.

"This is the result of my careful consideration, Brother Zhao. I hope you can come to my and Xiao Ye's engagement party the day after tomorrow." I faced his eager gaze with a smile and spoke in a calm tone.

"But..." Zhao Feihan frowned even more tightly, as if he wanted to persuade me.

But I didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so I changed the subject to work: "Brother Zhao, please rest assured that Xiao Ye has a strong professional level and good management ability. He is fully qualified to be the person in charge of this project. I will also join this project as a team member, and the results will definitely not disappoint Brother Zhao.

I hope Brother Zhao will give Xiao Ye a chance."

I was very sincere. I was not trying to get Ono the opportunity to be the project leader. I was sincerely discussing the personnel arrangements for this project with Zhao Feihan.

After all, Zhao Feihan transferred the money yesterday and signed the contract this morning, so this matter can only move forward.

"I don't agree." Zhao Feihan rejected me outright. His attitude was very firm. "I don't accept anyone else as the project leader. I only want you to be the project leader."

"This..." The atmosphere froze. Wu Ling was also embarrassed. He looked at me and then at Zhao Feihan, racking his brains to find words to explain, "Xuxu is also powerless. She really doesn't have enough energy right now..."

"Then don't rush to push this project. I can wait. We can start the project after she has the energy." Zhao Feihan still had that firm attitude and interrupted Wu Ling's words.

He has transferred the funds, but now he says he is not in a hurry to push forward the project?

Would you rather wait a little longer just to let me be the project leader?

Does this behavior resemble that of an investor? Investment is all about timing!

I was just about to speak when there was a knock on the door of the meeting room.

"Manager Meng, the meeting is about to start."
