Although I was used to tit-for-tat situations with Zhou Hanzhi early on, when I heard him repeatedly taunting me for falling behind, I couldn't help but let out a light laugh: "Yes, knowing that I am a fish eye, how could Mr. Zhou endure it for six years? "
Why not just break up with me in the first place?
My words choked Zhou Hanzhi. He looked at me quietly, as if there was a huge whirlpool in his pupils, which could swallow people up at any time.
Very unusual.
This is the first time I have seen Zhou Hanzhi like this.
Just when I felt very uncomfortable being stared at by him, a familiar soft voice suddenly broke in: "Hanzhi, Sister Nanxu, what's wrong with you?"
I followed the sound and saw Lin Xixi standing two steps away with a stunned look on her face, her small hands holding the hem of her skirt tightly, looking at me uneasily and warily.
The protection is obvious.
I felt a little embarrassed, thinking about how I had just been humiliated by Zhou Hanzhi, and suddenly felt miserable.
"How's the situation?"
A deep voice rang in my ears, and I casually glanced at Zhou Hanzhi beside me. His expression was as usual, and he had returned to the calm and composed CEO look.
Lin Xixi walked up to us quickly, glanced at me, and said, "Mr. Huo has just received news that he wants to apologize to you in person."
Apologize?
I suddenly had a bad feeling.
Suddenly, I heard Lin Xixi say again, "Xiaoyaoke is definitely not coming today."
I was immediately shocked.
With Zhou Hanzhi's current net worth, few people in Beijing and Hong Kong would dare to let him go.
Not to mention that they had previously agreed on a meeting time with Xiaoyaoke in advance, so why did they just say that they were just pigeons?
too suddenly.
I glanced at Zhou Hanzhi with my peripheral vision and saw the man's sharp eyes, quite dissatisfied.
"Hanzhi, don't be angry," Lin Xixi also smelled the strong low pressure around the man and reassured, "Mr. Huo said that there is a reason for everything, and he will explain it to you personally."
Zhou Hanzhi raised his eyes slightly: "Is there a reason for this?"
Lin Xixi's expression froze, and her beautiful apricot eyes suddenly glanced at me and said, "Why don't you ask Mr. Huo yourself?"
It's a good thing she didn't say this. When she said this, it really aroused my curiosity.
Zhou Hanzhi was also keenly aware of this and asked, "What is the reason Mr. Huo said?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xixi's eyes fell on me again, and she hesitated to speak.
Zhou Hanzhi was such a smart person. He immediately smelled something unusual in Lin Xixi's expression and said, "It doesn't matter, just tell the truth."
Lin Xixi wrung her fingers, glanced at me timidly, and said, "Mr. Huo said, Xiaoyaoke is not a person who breaks his word. The reason why he changed his mind temporarily must be because he saw something unexpected at the art exhibition." , or, I heard something."
"anything else?"
Lin Xixi took a deep breath and said, "From what Mr. Huo said, it seems that something went wrong on our side."
Her hint was already obvious - the reason why Xiaoyaoke suddenly changed his mind and canceled the meeting was probably because of me.
Zhou Hanzhi also realized this. After snorting coldly, he looked at me and said, "Manager Meng, are you satisfied with the current situation?"
I looked at Zhou Hanzhi in disbelief, my throat seemed to be blocked by a puddle of glue. I wanted to explain, but couldn't say anything.
Changes happened because of me.
I admit that there is such a possibility, but who is Zhou Hanzhi? He has always been calm and self-possessed. Just because of Mr. Huo and Lin Xixi's speculation in a few words, is he going to put the responsibility on me?
Is Qiao Yaoke really that powerful? He knew that I, Meng Nanxu, was at the art exhibition, so he lost his temper and didn't show up?
You know, Xiaoyaoke and I didn't even have a chance to talk.
Does this make sense?
It's something that doesn't make sense logically, but at this moment, Zhou Hanzhi, because of Lin Xixi's few words, even looked at me with a hint of doubt.
"Mr. Huo is already on his way here," Lin Xixi seemed to feel a little sorry. After glancing at me, she said, "Let's hear what he has to say later."
Twenty minutes later, Huo Tianlei and his secretary appeared outside the art museum.
First, he apologized to Zhou Hanzhihao, and then talked about Xiaoyaoke: "We have been cooperating for seven or eight years, Mr. Zhou, and this situation has never happened before."
The meaning is very simple. During the cooperation period of seven or eight years, Xiaoyaoke has not let anyone go. The problem is definitely not theirs.
"Did he himself give any reason?"
Hearing this, Huo Tianlei glanced at me unnaturally and said, "He didn't give any specific reasons, just..."
"Mr. Huo might as well speak up." Zhou Hanzhi has reached the limit of his patience. "If there is no suitable reason, Rongyu will not let this matter go."
His tone was cold, with an invisible sense of oppression.
Huo Tianlei had traveled all over the country for so many years, so he naturally sensed the weight of Zhou Han's words. He sighed and said, "Xiaoyaoke heard from somewhere that there are some aesthetic differences within your company. He said that he is most afraid of trouble. At once……"
When the words "aesthetic differences" fell into my ears, I suddenly realized something was wrong.
Logically speaking, this should be a trade secret within our company. How did Xiaoyaoke know about it?
"No, we have never met Xiaoyaoke," Lin Xixi suddenly said, puzzled, "How did he know that we have aesthetic differences, Sister Nanxu?"
Sister Nanxu called out and focused on me again.
I was already holding fire in my heart, but now I couldn’t hold it in any longer: “Manager Lin, you mean that I revealed it?”
Lin Xixi looked resentful: "Sister Nanxu, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her eyes, showing a victim look.
I softened my tone and responded, "I'm just discussing the matter."
"Discuss the matter as it is?" Zhou Hanzhi suddenly raised his voice and said, "Meng Nanxu, until now, haven't you realized your mistake?"
I looked up at Zhou Hanzhi and saw that the man's eyes were sharp, as if he was hiding a sharp blade.
"Mistake?" After I finished speaking, I noticed that my voice was shaking a little, "Please give me some advice, Mr. Zhou."
"You suddenly showed up at the art exhibition, and you went around asking the guests about Xiaoyaoke. Each of those people is better than the last one. Do you think they can't tell at all?"
I pride myself on speaking with caution, and it is even more impossible for me to mention aesthetic differences during conversations.
But you see, now there has been an accident, and Zhou Hanzhi has identified me as the cause of the accident.
I smiled bitterly and said no more.
It's useless to explain anyway, so why should I bother talking?
"Hanzhi, now is not the time to hold people accountable," Lin Xixi said cautiously as the atmosphere cooled down, "Mr. Huo, there is a reason for everything. If possible, please tell Xiaoyaoke and we can explain to him personally."
Huo Tianlei glanced at me and hesitated.
At this time, Zhou Hanzhi added: "Does Mr. Huo want to just let this matter go?"
Huo Tianlei raised his eyebrows: "Of course not, but Xiaoyaoke's temperament has always been wanton, and he will leave Beijing and Hong Kong tomorrow, I'm afraid..."
"Leave?" Lin Xixi blinked: "Is there a new work arrangement?"
"Caifeng is in southern Huizhou," Huo Tianlei told him bluntly, "Mr. Zhou, I can only provide you with this bit of information."
After Huo Tianlei left, Lin Xixi immediately approached Zhou Hanzhi and said, "Hanzhi, I think this is our opportunity. Look..."
"Manager Meng, what do you think?"
I didn't expect Zhou Hanzhi to mention me at this time, but I guessed that he probably had an idea, so he said, "Listen to Mr. Zhou's arrangement."
Although I feel aggrieved, I am not aggrieved to the point of losing my mind. After all, our ultimate goal is for the game to be launched smoothly.
However, the next second, I heard Zhou Hanzhi say, "In that case, let's leave it to Manager Meng to convince Xiaoyaoke."
