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

Chapter 836

Mr. X's words were so serious, so serious that they seemed solemn.

These words seemed to be a serious excuse, but also like a solemn promise. They were so serious and solemn that the originally joking atmosphere became a little solemn.

I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and a strange feeling came over me.

I have always respected and cared for Mr. X as a gentle and amiable elder, but why did Mr. X's words make me feel...

This doesn't seem like the attitude of an elder towards a younger person.

Maybe this is my illusion, or maybe I just think too much.

I quickly recovered and said, "I believe Mr. X."

In fact, Mr. X has always treated me very well. He would not do anything to hurt me. Moreover, we have common interests now, so it is even less likely that he would hurt me.

Mr. X seemed relieved, and his tone became more joyful: "I'm glad you believe me. With your words, I can rest assured."

That strange feeling became stronger.

Why would he say that? Didn't I believe him before?

Also, he said he was relieved, but wasn’t he worried before? Why wasn’t he worried?

He just said that he has never done anything to hurt me or to do anything wrong, so why would he be worried that I don’t believe him?

I don’t understand…

I put aside the discomfort in my heart and said seriously: "No matter what, Mr. X, I hope you can rest well and recover soon. I will also do my best for the HERO project."

"I have always been very relieved about this." Mr. X's voice was still smiling, "Please rest assured, I will take good care of myself and try to recover as soon as possible so that I can see you sooner."

See me?

Mr. X wants to see me?

I was confused by his words again.

But it was only a moment of distraction before I realized that HERO had reached the promotion stage, and it was only natural for the main creative team and investors to have a formal meeting.

By the way, I am also looking forward to meeting this gentle and amiable elder, and I want to thank Mr. X in person for his care and support for me all the time.

So I smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I will wait for Mr. X to recover and look forward to meeting Mr. X soon."

This video conversation was the one in which I spoke the most with this mysterious investor. To be honest, I was always worried about his physical exhaustion. After all, he was old, injured, and had been in meetings all day. It was time for him to have a good rest.

Just when I was about to hang up the call, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open.

I immediately turned around and saw Feng Wenting appear at the door.

She seemed a little anxious, walked in hurriedly, and greeted me apologetically: "Sorry, Manager Meng, I'm bothering you. I forgot to bring my notebook from the meeting just now, so I came back to get it."

It’s okay to disturb you, after all, my chat with Mr. X is about to end.

Besides, he came back to get his notebook, so this was a legitimate reason.

I nodded and waited for her to get her things and leave.

As expected, Feng Wenting picked up a notebook from the seat where she had just sat.

However, when she passed by me holding a notebook, she suddenly stopped, looked at me with a smile, and said, "By the way, Manager Meng, I heard that you are getting engaged to Director Yuan, right? Why didn't you inform me of such great news? I congratulate you in advance. I wonder if I am eligible to attend your engagement party? I want to take Brother Dong with me."

I was quite surprised that Feng Wenting suddenly mentioned my engagement with Yuan Tianye at this time.

Moreover, she talked so much and so fast that I couldn't help but frown.

Didn't Feng Wenting see that I was talking to Mr. X on the phone? After she came in, she ignored Mr. X and only greeted me. Now she's sticking her head here like a stake, talking to me about my marriage with Xiao Ye. Doesn't she know that this is inappropriate?

However, before I could open my mouth to respond, Mr. X's voice rang out again, extremely surprised: "Manager Meng is getting engaged?"

"Oh, sorry, I didn't notice Mr. X was still here." Feng Wenting seemed to have just noticed that Mr. X and I were on the phone together. She looked surprised and apologized in a panic.

Then she seemed to realize something and hurriedly covered her lips.

Although she covered her lips, it didn't stop her from continuing to speak.

She looked at me in horror, her eyes full of panic: "I'm sorry, Manager Meng, did I say something wrong? Your engagement with Director Yuan is your private matter after all, I shouldn't have said it rashly, this, this..."

I looked at her panic-stricken look, her brows were twisted so tightly that they could pinch off a mosquito.

I used to admire Feng Wenting very much. I thought she was a talented and hardworking person, an ambitious and capable careerist. Although we are temporarily at odds due to a small misunderstanding for personal reasons, I am still willing to train her because I can see my former self in her.

But why is Feng Wenting so depressed? Why does she learn Lin Xixi's green tea skills when there are so many other things to learn?

The key is that she did not learn the essence of Lin Xixi.

Lin Xixi was born weak, so the green tea trick was easy for her to use, and it was very natural for her to do it, but when Feng Wenting teased...

It's so pretentious, and you can tell at first glance that he's just acting.

It was so poorly acted that I couldn't bear to watch it.

"Okay Feng Wenting, stop squeezing me." I interrupted her with a frown, then turned to the direction of the video, "Yes, Mr. X, Director Yuan Tianye and I are getting engaged. This is a private matter and a small matter, so I didn't intend to make a big fuss about it. But although this is a private matter, it's not something that people should be ashamed of. I didn't deliberately hide it from Mr. X."

Feng Wenting's behavior makes me despise her.

She thought that the reason why Mr. X trusted me so much and tolerated me, and repeatedly defended me, was because there was an ambiguous relationship between him and me! She also thought that I was a two-timing scumbag and didn't dare to let Mr. X know about my relationship with Xiao Ye.

So she deliberately asked about my engagement with Ono in front of Mr. X, and pretended to be so panicked, as if she had ruined my good thing.

In fact, it was to "expose" my true colors as a scumbag in front of Mr. X.

She really doesn't use her brain!

Putting aside Mr. X's status and position, there is no possibility that he has any ambiguity with me. She has also been in contact with Mr. X during these video conferences. She should at least be able to feel that Mr. X is a mature, steady, gentle and kind elder.

How could I have an affair with an elder?

Is there anything I can’t tell my elders?

Is it necessary for me to hide the fact that Ono and I are engaged from Mr. X?

I am calm and composed.

However, Mr. X's voice became tense and anxious: "H-Have you decided? What is it and when is it going to happen?"
