Seeing that Lu Zhicheng's face was not right, she quickly smiled and said, "It's okay, Zhicheng. The company didn't fire you, which means they still value you very much and want you to return to your job. After all, you have contributed so much to the company over the years."
"Besides, any position in Haicheng Group is promising. Zhicheng is so capable, he will definitely be able to return!"
Lu Zhicheng nodded: "Jing'er, you really understand me. The higher-ups have arranged this as well. They said it's a temporary demotion. It will be fine once this incident has passed."
Li Jing'er breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
Lu Zhicheng sighed: "It's just that I haven't had much to do these past few days. It's not like before, when I had to have dinner with clients and deal with decisions..."
Li Jing'er immediately looked at him with admiration: "Zhicheng, you don't know how dazzling you were in the past. You are just down and out for a while now. I believe you will be back soon."
Lu Zhicheng was moved and held Li Jing'er's hand: "Jing'er, you are the only one I have."
Lu Ma passed by and said: "Who are you disgusting? You don't even cook, you just try to please men."
Li Jing'er wiped her tears and said, "Mom, it's okay if you don't like me. I won't blame you."
Lu Zhicheng also looked at Lu Ma with dissatisfaction: "Mom, you are so annoying. Jing'er and I didn't offend you, but you always say these things that others don't like to hear."
"Come on, Jing'er, I'm much more relaxed at work now. I haven't hung out with you for a long time. Let's go out and relax."
Lu Ma's face changed, but because her son was present, she couldn't say anything too harsh: "Zhicheng, where are you going? The meal is ready."
Lu Zhicheng waved his hand nonchalantly: “Mom, you eat by yourself. Jing’er and I will go eat outside.”
Mother Lu hesitated to speak: "There is no money left at home, and we still have to eat out..."
But before he could finish his words, Lu Zhicheng and Li Jing'er had already gone out happily.
"This vixen, is she going to stop until our family is completely bankrupt?"
The more Lu Ma looked at Li Jing'er, the more dissatisfied she became.
Li Jing'er took Lu Zhicheng's hand and said, "Zhicheng, I want to go to the mall. I haven't changed my clothes for a long time. These are all out of style from last season."
With a beautiful woman acting coquettishly beside him, how could Lu Zhicheng not agree?
"Okay, okay, let's go. I'll do as you say."
The two were recognized as soon as they entered a crowded place like a shopping mall, but seeing how happy Li Jing'er looked, Lu Zhicheng didn't know what to say and asked them to go back immediately.
"Jing'er, just pick a few and let's go eat. I'm a little hungry."
Li Jing'er was a little dissatisfied when she heard this: "Zhicheng, we have only been here for a few minutes, why don't we take a walk for a while longer?"
"All right."
"Zhicheng, look, does this dress suit me?"
Li Jing'er took out a floral dress, which made her look young and energetic. Lu Zhicheng nodded in amazement: "It looks good, of course it looks good. Jing'er is always eye-catching in anything she wears."
Of course he wouldn't like her. What attracted him to her in the first place was Li Jing'er's young and beautiful face.
"Jing'er, you are so beautiful."
Li Jing'er lowered her head shyly: "Zhicheng..."
Seeing this, the waiter hurried over and said, "Miss, you have a good eye. This is the newest dress in our store. It was made by an independent designer. It's a niche luxury item that many people love. This is the last one left, and your size is just right. It's practically tailor-made for you!"
"And you, young lady, look like a fairy in this outfit. You and this gentleman are a perfect match."
Li Jing'er felt a little flattered when she heard the waiter's flattery: "Then wrap it up."
The waiter smiled and said, "Okay, sir, are you swiping by card?"
Without taking his eyes off Li Jing'er, Lu Zhicheng casually picked up a card and swiped it.
The next second it says “Insufficient balance”.
The waiter's smile was a little stiff: "Sir, this card seems to have insufficient balance. Why don't you try another card, or convert it to cash?"
Lu Zhicheng's face darkened: "Change, change the card."
Li Jing'er also felt extremely embarrassed, as if the eyes of everyone around them were on them.
"Ding—insufficient balance."
The waiter couldn't hold back his smile: "Sir, look..."
Lu Zhicheng still has one card, and he can choose to swipe the three cards separately, but he doesn't want to do that.
"Jing'er, let's not do it."
Li Jing'er was immediately embarrassed and angry, her face was so red that you could bake eggs on it.
"Zhicheng, this is too embarrassing!"
Lu Zhicheng rubbed his sleeves and said, "Jing'er, let's go and see something else. Be good."
Li Jing'er looked like she was about to cry, but seeing that Lu Zhicheng's patience was running out, she had no choice but to follow him and flee.
I could vaguely hear the waiter's disdainful voice: "Really? I thought I had a big order, but it turns out it's just a poor guy trying to be rich."
She only felt her ears getting redder.
Lu Zhicheng was no less embarrassed and almost fell down in embarrassment.
Then both of them strolled around absentmindedly. Lu Zhicheng was thinking about his balance, while Li Jing'er was wondering whether she should continue after she had fallen into this situation.
"Zhicheng, let's go to the jewelry store in front. It's a shop owned by a famous designer."
Li Jing'er was not interested and finally saw someone she was interested in.
Lu Zhicheng's face changed when he heard this: "Jewelry..."
