Surprise! Love-brained Mr. Li has made his ex-girlfriend his girlfriend

“…” Lu Xingchen’s eyes widened, his anger was immediately extinguished by the shock.

How come the 10 million is back to her?

This, this bastard has set a trap for her again, right?

And she actually fell into the trap!

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Li Zhen added, "It's okay if you don't want to return it..."

"Pay it back!" Lu Xingchen wanted to beat himself to death after saying that, but he asked again, "You just want this result, right? Consider it what I owe you. I'll pay it back as you wish."

It is possible that Li Zhen took advantage of her stubbornness and dared to remind her deliberately: "This is 10 million, think about it before answering."

Lu Xingchen immediately became even more stubborn, even saying, "Don't worry, I owed you more, but I have the ability to pay it back. But you, since you dare to keep me in Zhencheng, if you have the ability, don't hinder my normal promotion, let me get the treatment that belongs to me."

Li Zhen's mind was still on her first sentence. After a while, he replied disapprovingly, "If you have the ability to take Zhencheng away, I won't stop you."

Lu Xingchen's eyes were full of contempt, "Then don't leave me alone."

"Just now you said that you can get promoted based on your ability, but now you want to use the backdoor?"

"What backdoor? It's you who didn't give me the chance to work."

Li Zhen said calmly: "If the cleaning lady wants to be promoted, she should start as a cleaner."

So he had to see her being idle to start from scratch to vent his anger? Lu Xingchen was furious, "I agreed to every one of your requests, and you won't give me a normal concession?"

Li Zhen had to remind her, "Did you come to me to negotiate terms instead of thanking me?"

Lu Xingchen: “…”

Indeed, she had forgotten that she had invited him to dinner to express her gratitude, but now a debt of 10 million was on her head and she still had no time to thank him.

Forget it. Since I have accepted the challenge, there is no need to waste my emotions. Lu Xingchen picked up the phone, turned on the recording function, and said, "So, Mr. Li, the final result of our discussion is that the money I owe you plus the previous money is a total of 10.5 million RMB. I will stay in Zhencheng to work as you requested. You will not hinder my normal promotion and salary increase, right?"

"Yes."

"What if I can't function properly because of you?"

"All debts are written off, you can stay or go as you please."

Seeing that he looked calm, Lu Xingchen turned off the recording, picked up his bag and prepared to put his phone in.

Li Zhen said, "What's the point of recording and keeping it for yourself?"

Lu Xingchen paused and looked at him, "Do you want one?"

"Shouldn't I?"

Of course you should. A contract should be in duplicate, right?

But when she thought about it this way, she wondered if her IQ had been lowered by him. Why did she, a debtor, write a document herself?

Lu Xingchen was not happy, but she could only say, "You have blocked me, how can I give it to you? Do you want me to re-record it?"

Li Zhen glanced at her, took out his phone, swiped his fingers a few times, and said, "Send it to me via WeChat now."

Agree to add a friend now? Lu Xingchen sneered in his heart and opened WeChat. As expected, WeChat reminded that "Xingyao" had been successfully added as a friend, and the dialog box between the two people contained a lot of information that she had asked him for help through verification messages before.

Looking at the content of these messages again, Lu Xingchen couldn't help but look at him with contempt again.

Li Zhen frowned and said, "Don't you know that Xingyao is the engine of our company?"

What does her contempt for him have to do with his company's engine?

Oh, he was talking about the fact that his WeChat name is “Xingyao”.

Lu Xingchen snorted coldly, "I know that Xingyao Engine and Xingyao Cloud are both the masterpieces of President Li. As an IT person, if you don't know Zhencheng's Xingyao culture, you are no better than a frog in a well..."

When she said this, Li Zhen's face darkened.

But she felt so embarrassed to bear the debt of 10 million that she felt so depressed that she didn't care about his expression.

Lu Xingchen lowered his head and found the recording in the voice memo on his phone and forwarded it to WeChat. When he chose to forward it to a friend, he saw Li Zhen's WeChat name "Xingyao" again, as well as his avatar with the Xingyao Culture logo, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Isn't it just showing off, as if you're afraid that others won't know.

Lu Xingchen looked down on it and pressed send, saying, "I've sent it to you."

After saying that, he waved to the waiter.

When the waiter came over, she said, "Pay the bill."

The waiter smiled and said, "This gentleman has already bought it."

Bought it?

Is this considered strangling her neck and giving her a break?

Lu Xingchen remained calm and waited until the waiter left before asking him.

But before she could say anything, Li Zhen took the initiative and said, "If you don't want to, you can put the money for this meal on the previous account."

Don't even think about it. Lu Xingchen said with a fake smile: "I can make you my creditor, so how can I refuse to let you be a rich man in front of me? You are really rich, ex-boyfriend."

This title made Li Zhen's eyes, which had remained calm until now, darken.

Lu Xingchen immediately stood up and challenged, "You're not going to take revenge on me at work just because I irritated you, are you?"

If you have the guts to provoke me, don't be scared. Li Zhen said without blinking, "No, I'm still waiting for you to work for me and pay off my debt."

"No need to be sarcastic." So what if she worked for him? She earned his money with her own skills. "When I become an expert engineer in your company, I can use your experience to change jobs. The 10 million won't be a loss."

"The youngest expert engineer in our company is 35 this year." He was reminding her that she would have to wait another ten years to become an expert engineer.

Lu Xingchen retorted disapprovingly: "Aren't you not yet thirty?"

Li Zhen slowly looked at her, "So you are targeting me."

"I'm not interested in people who are vindictive." Lu Xingchen stood up. "I owe you the money, but I don't owe you anything else. From now on, we should each guard our own positions and don't cross the line."

Although she said it nicely, she turned around and started calculating the job grade system in their company.

As far as she knows, Zhencheng Company is divided into five major departments according to positions: product project department, technical department, marketing department, design department, and functional department.

The technical section she is in is divided into six levels, each of which is further divided into three sub-levels.

Fresh graduates or new employees are classified as first-level employees, that is, assistant engineers, with an annual salary of approximately RMB 100,000.

A doctoral student or successfully promoted assistant engineer can become an engineer with an annual salary between 150,000 and 300,000 yuan.

She had successfully applied for the position with her work experience, which was in the second sub-level of the third grade, referred to as T3-2. She had a fifteen-year salary throughout the year, plus a fluctuating bonus linked to performance, so her salary was roughly between five hundred thousand and eight hundred thousand.

If you successfully advance to T4, you will not only have an annual salary of one million, but also company options. However, the promotion from T3 to T4 is very strict. Among the tens of thousands of Zhencheng employees, no more than are at the expert engineer level.

What's more, her goal is to reach the T5 senior expert engineer level, which is even more difficult. However, in addition to equity, the annual salary of T5 can exceed million.

Although Lu Xingchen boasted to Li Zhen, she knew in her heart how difficult it would be for her, an idle T3, to climb to T5.

But no matter what, she would pay off Li Zhen's debt as quickly as possible, and then stay away from this petty guy, the sooner the better.
