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

Chapter 835

It was Feng Wenting's voice.

I was quite surprised, I thought it would be Xiaoya knocking on the door to remind me.

However, Feng Wenting's words broke the tense atmosphere in the meeting room and gave me a reason to leave. I felt relieved.

"Brother Zhao, I have a meeting to attend, so I'll excuse myself. As for this matter, you can discuss it with Mr. Wu. My idea is that it would be best to let someone else be the project leader, and I will just be a member of the team. But I promise that even as a member of the team, I will do my best to make this project a success, because this kitchen game is also my idea, and now that the idea has come out, it should be released as soon as possible. We'd better not wait."

If we wait any longer, things may go wrong or other situations may arise.

After saying that, I stood up, tidied myself, opened the door of the meeting room and went out.

Outside the door, Feng Wenting was still standing there waiting for me.

What surprised me was that after seeing me, she didn't ask a single question and just followed me into the next meeting room.

Feng Wenting is a very ambitious and motivated person. She must have heard the argument between Zhao Feihan and I in the meeting room just now when she was outside the door. I thought she would recommend herself and compete to be the person in charge of this new project, or compete with me and express her willingness.

But she said nothing.

Never mind, maybe she is not interested in this project.

In the conference room, everyone had finished their meal and were waiting for me after getting ready. In the video, Mr. X's video and sound had been restored.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting." The video was still white, but Mr. X's voice still revealed deep fatigue and weakness.

My heart tightened even more.

Feng Wenting on the side immediately took over Mr. X's words: "It's okay, Mr. X. In fact, we should thank you for giving us time to eat. Our manager Meng is a workaholic. When he was busy, he forgot about the meal time, and everyone forgot about it too."

I frowned. Feng Wenting meant that I was blaming me for being so focused on work that I even forgot about my team members' meal times.

Just now I was feeling impressed that Feng Wenting had become calmer, no longer picked quarrels with me, and had become more mature. I didn't expect that everything was just appearance.

But I can't refute this. When I'm busy, I do tend to forget about time and forget to eat, and eventually neglect others. If Mr. X hadn't had some urgent business and freed up half an hour, I probably still wouldn't have thought of arranging meals for everyone.

Blame me for not thinking it through carefully enough.

I looked at everyone with some regret.

Ma Ning and Xi Ying both looked unconcerned and gave me a look that said, "It's alright." Yan Dong frowned and tugged at Feng Wenting, "Alright, sit down quickly."

Feng Wenting did not resist and sat down with a faint smug smile on her lips.

"It turns out that everyone has just finished their meal. I was inconsiderate and forgot to reserve time for everyone to eat. I'm sorry." Mr. X's voice sounded at this time, with an apology.

I was a little surprised that Mr. X took the responsibility on himself.

"It's okay, Mr. X. Manager Meng has already arranged for us to eat." Xi Ying responded gently.

Ma Ning said carelessly: "Our entire team is a workaholic. Not to mention that Manager Meng forgot to eat. If I hadn't smelled the food, I wouldn't have felt hungry."

Everyone was comforting me and the meeting room was filled with a lighthearted atmosphere.

My original guilt was reduced a little, but at this time I heard Mr. X's question: "Mr. Meng, did you have a good lunch? You have a bad stomach, so you should eat light food and chew slowly."

I was stunned.

How did Mr. X know that I had a bad stomach?

Is he caring about me? He is so meticulous that he even reminds me to eat light food and chew slowly.

What a gentle and considerate elder.

I felt more and more moved. Mr. X is such a great investor. He trusts me and cares about me. It is a great experience to cooperate with such an investor. It is like heaven and hell compared to Zhou Hanzhi back then.

Will all future investors be as amazing as Mr. X?

I immediately bowed slightly to express my gratitude: "Thank you Mr. X for your concern. I am very full and feel fine. I can proceed to the next step of work."

"Okay, that's good." Mr. X smiled.

The afternoon meeting started in such a pleasant atmosphere.

After about two hours, we decided on several implementation plans and the meeting ended.

However, after the meeting, I did not rush to leave the meeting room, nor did I hang up the video immediately.

After my colleagues left the meeting room one after another, I spoke softly to the video again: "Mr. X."

"Manager Meng, do you have anything else to talk to me about?" Although Mr. X's voice sounded a little tired, he quickly perked up and asked me kindly.

Although his voice was processed by a voice changer, I have a hunch that Mr. X must be a kind and amiable elder, very gentle and considerate of the younger generation.

"Have you been sick recently? I can hear that your voice sounds a little weak." This is what I wanted to ask.

I am also worried about the old man's health.

"Manager Meng is worried about my health." Mr. X's tone was tinged with surprise. A shadow flickered against the white background, and a hand appeared in the camera.

I only took one look and my heart ached.

That hand was slender and well-proportioned. I had seen it several times in videos before. But this time, there was an infusion needle on the back of the hand, and a pulse oximeter was clipped on the tip of the index finger.

It looked like he had just undergone surgery.

This elder is indeed sick, and his illness is very serious. He just had surgery and should still be in bed.

No wonder his background was all white this time and his voice was so weak. The doctor should have come to check on his condition at noon, so he suspended the meeting and waited for thirty minutes.

"Yes, I'm very worried about your health. What happened to you? Is it serious?" I said anxiously.

"It's okay, it was just a small accident and I suffered some minor injuries. But there's no danger anymore, don't worry." Mr. X was comforting me.

He paused, then smiled again: "But I am really happy that you are worried about me. I originally thought that you would never talk to me again."

I was confused by the second half of Mr. X's sentence.

He trusts me, tolerates me, and protects me so much. In my mind, he is a very respectable, gentle and amiable elder. As a junior, isn't it normal for me to care about his physical condition?

Moreover, although Mr. X and I have never met in real life and do not have any personal relationship, we have always gotten along very harmoniously.

Why did Mr. X think I would ignore him?

"How could I ignore you? Have you done something to hurt me?" I joked with a smile.

On the other end of the video, Mr. X coughed twice and laughed, but his tone was extremely serious and sincere: "I have never done anything to hurt you, and I will never hurt you in the future."
