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

Chapter 260 Warmth

The uncle was the first to show a vigilant look. He bowed slightly, stared at Zhou Hanzhi and said angrily: "What are you doing here?"

The tone was urgent and rushed.

I immediately glanced at my aunt, and she patted her uncle on the shoulder and said softly: "Mr. Zhou is Xu Xu's 'boss' after all. When we meet him, he naturally comes over to say hello."

My aunt specially emphasized the word "boss".

The uncle understood his aunt's meaning in an instant. The anger in his eyes was as if it was tightly clamped by iron pliers, but it never broke out. After snoring coldly, he didn't look at Zhou Han again.

There was an awkward and tense atmosphere in the air, but Zhou Hanzhi still stood there.

At this moment, Nannan asked unexpectedly: "Xuxu, what does boss mean?"

With a childish voice, he wandered among the few of us. I was slightly startled and responded: "They are colleagues who work together."

After hearing this, Nannan nodded obediently, and her pair of jewel-like phoenix eyes blinked, as if they were shining with smart light. She gently raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Hanzhi in front of her. Her clear voice was full of childishness and politeness: "Hello, Uncle Zhou."

Nannan said hello with a smile on her lips, and her eyes were full of friendliness and kindness, which surprised all of us.

Nannan is actually not the character of a relative.

Zhou Hanzhi was stunned for a moment after hearing this warm greeting. He raised his head slightly and fixed his eyes on Nannan, as if he wanted to find out some secret from her face. After a while, he slowly responded: "Nanny... hello."

His tone was low and gentle, and every word seemed to have been carefully thought out, revealing an inexplicable emotion.

Nannan tilted her head and looked at Zhou Hanzhi in surprise, her bright eyes flashing with curiosity and surprise. She opened her mouth slightly and asked softly: "How does Uncle Zhou know my name?"

Zhou Hanzhi suddenly avoided Nannan's sight, cleverly avoiding Nannan's bright and curious eyes, then looked at me and explained: "I heard Manager Meng mentioned it."

I don’t know if it’s my misunderstanding, but I always feel that when Zhou Hanzhi said this, his tone was mixed with an indescribable gentle emotion. That gentleness was like the breeze of early spring, gently blowing through the heart, making people involuntarily feel... Indulging in it, even the decibels dropped a few points.

Never before.

Naturally, a child didn't notice anything strange. He pointed to the cranberry rice cake on the table and said, "Uncle Zhou, do you want to try it?"

Zhou Hanzhi's pupils trembled slightly, as if his heart was touched by the sudden friendliness. After a few seconds, he responded: "Thank you, Nannan, but I don't eat sweets."

Nannan's eyes were wide open, like two crystal grapes, and she said in surprise: "I don't like sweets either, this one isn't sweet."

After asking and answering questions, Zhou Hanzhi's expression became more and more uncomfortable. At this time, his uncle interjected: "This is what Xu Xu specially ordered for... Nannan. How can it be eaten by outsiders?"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Zhou Hanzhi disdainfully. Zhou Hanzhi also realized that he was not very popular here and said politely: "Manager Meng, please excuse me. I'll excuse you now."

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but saw my daughter waving to Zhou Hanzhi: "Goodbye, Uncle Zhou."

Seeing Zhou Hanzhi disappear from my sight, I immediately looked away, and my eyes fell on Nannan beside my aunt. I saw the little girl happily chewing the rice cakes on the plate, and then I breathed a sigh of relief.

At the end of the tour, Youhe and I sent my aunt and daughter back to the nursing home. On the way back, I repeatedly thought about the encounter with Zhou Hanzhi in the restaurant, and the more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became.

Was this chance encounter a coincidence, or was it intentional by Zhou Hanzhi?

if the latter one……

At this time, You He answered the phone, hung up and said, "It is said that Zhou Hanzhi hosted a banquet for a heavyweight from Spring City in the private room of the restaurant today. It seems more likely that it is a coincidence."

But when I think of the way Zhou Hanzhi looked at Nannan and the scene where Nannan politely talked to him, I still feel uneasy.

After a timid night, there was no movement from Zhou Hanzhi's side, but even so, I still didn't dare to relax, but I didn't expect that when I arrived at the company, I would see Zhou Pinzhi waiting in the reception room.

This is not the first time he has come to our company, and he came uninvited.

I didn't mince words and went straight to the point: "Manager Zhou came to our place very early in the morning. He must have something important to explain, right?"

"Manager Meng is really as kind as ever," Zhou Pinzhi praised me, then took out an invitation from his briefcase and handed it to me, "I'm here for this."

I stared at the three words "invitation" on the invitation and asked, "What's the matter?"

"At Mrs. Zhou's birthday party tomorrow night, the old lady specifically asked me to invite Manager Meng to the party." Zhou Pinzhi looked at me seriously and said, "No, I will come here shamelessly."

It turned out to be about Shen Hualan's birthday party.

I glanced at the invitation, then looked at Zhou Pinzhi and said, "Does Mr. Zhou know that you are here to send the invitation?"

"Hanzhi has a lot of things to do, so naturally he can't take care of every detail," Zhou Pinzhi did not answer my question directly, but changed the subject, "Why, does Manager Meng feel that the Zhou family is not sincere enough?"

There is a thorn in the softness, and a knife in the smile. Although Zhou Pinzhi's tone is kind, there is a sense of arrogance unique to a superior person in his words.

I smiled lightly and said, "Manager Zhou is worrying too much. It would be an honor for the Zhou family to invite me."

Zhou Pinzhi also spoke to me in an official tone: "Manager Meng is serious. You have made great contributions to Rongyu, and you should be treated as our guest."

One Shen Hualan was not enough, so Zhou Pin was sent to play. It seems that I can't refuse the birthday party tomorrow night.

That's right, after saving for so long, it's time to take a trip to the Zhou family's old house.

Thinking of this, I picked up the invitation on the table and said yes, "Manager that week, we'll see you tomorrow night."

Zhou Pinzhi said goodbye, and I politely escorted him to the elevator, where I happened to bump into Lin Xixi who was coming to work.

The little girl looked at Zhou Pinzhi in surprise and asked, "Is something wrong, Manager Zhou?"

"Well, I'm here to deliver the invitation," Zhou Pinzhi didn't hide anything, glanced at me and said, "The old lady specially asked me to go to Mrs. Zhou's birthday party tomorrow night."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xixi's eyes trembled slightly unconsciously, like fallen leaves swaying gently in the wind in autumn.

Then, her little face, which was originally as delicate as a flower, lost all its color in an instant and became pale, as if covered by winter frost, revealing an indescribable desolation and horror.

"See you tomorrow. I'm still working overtime today and can't speed up, so I can only write slowly."
