After being laid off, Mr. Lu asked me to interview at his company

At this moment, Lu Yanqi in the president's office was sitting at his desk, listening carefully to Xu Yang and Wang Dong reporting to him.

The two of them had just finished a business trip and returned to the company an hour ago.

When Lu Yanqi saw the new WeChat message alert on his desktop, he had a strong hunch that it must be from his girlfriend.

So while he was listening to the work report, he reached out and opened the WeChat message.

Seeing the familiar portrait, the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.

When he saw the content of the message, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Because Lin Qing sent him a sweet greeting: [Dear, I'm off work.]

This cute and intimate name made Lu Yanqi's heart melt instantly, and his mood became particularly happy.

"Boss Lu, is there something I said wrong?" Xu Yang, who was standing by, saw the change in Lu Yanqi's expression and felt that his boss's expression did not seem to indicate dissatisfaction with the report, but he still asked with some concern.

"It's okay, you guys continue." Lu Yanqi quickly waved his hand, but the smile on his face never disappeared.

His heart was now filled with Lin Qing's kind "dear", and his heart felt like it was soaked in honey.

After Lin Qing returned home, he made a simple meal and went to wash up after eating.

After packing up, she took a deep breath and prepared to call her mother.

Because she was going to meet Lu Yanqi's family the day after tomorrow, she felt it necessary to report this matter to her mother.

But when she actually picked up the phone to make a call, she suddenly felt a surge of shyness.

She also began to worry about how her mother would react.

After some inner struggle, Lin Qing finally mustered up the courage and pressed the call button.

The call was quickly connected, and my mother's familiar and kind voice came from the other end: "Hello, Xiaoqing, have you eaten?"

Lin Qing replied briskly, "Well, Mom, I've already eaten. Are you ready to rest?"

Mom said gently, "Not yet. Your dad and I are watching the game. We can go to bed later."

Lin Qing cleared her throat and said carefully, "Mom, I want to tell you something."

The mother heard her daughter's serious tone and asked with some concern: "What's wrong, Xiaoqing? What's the matter?"

Lin Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "My boyfriend Lu Yanqi discussed with me that he wants to take advantage of this holiday to visit you and dad at our house. And, to reassure me, he invited me to go to his house the day after tomorrow to meet his family."

After saying these words, Lin Qing's heart beat so hard that it seemed like it was about to jump out of his throat.

After hearing this, my mother breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought it was something serious. You scared me."

Lin Qing: "So what do you and Dad have to say about this?"

Mom: "We trust your vision. As long as you get along well and his family accepts you, we have no objection."

After hearing her mother's words, Lin Qing felt relieved. She knew that her family would respect her choice.

Lin Qing: "Okay, I understand. Then he and I should arrive at our house on the 1st or 2nd. I will give you the exact time then."

Mother Lin remembered something important and reminded her, "By the way, what gifts are you going to bring? According to our customs, it is best not to go to someone empty-handed."

Lin Qing frowned in annoyance. "He said he would arrange it. I want to pick some gifts myself, but I don't know what to bring. I'll ask my cousin later."

Mom: "That's right. Ask your cousin. We haven't dealt with rich people like that, so we don't know what to give them. They probably don't need anything. It depends on your intention. If his family members mind your gift, don't force yourself. Get out of it as soon as possible. It's possible that they can't accept our family."

After hearing what her mother said, Lin Qing realized that her mother was a little worried that she would get hurt. Suddenly, she felt her nose sore and tears almost came out.

Yes, her parents respect her choice, but that doesn’t mean Lu Yanqi’s family will accept her.

Maybe Lu Yanqi's family will look down on her because of her family background, and even oppose them being together?

Lin Qing took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Lu Yanqi assured her that his family were reasonable people, so Lin Qing was willing to believe him and take a chance.

She told herself that since she had made the choice, she would not give up easily.

Lin Qing tried to keep a calm tone and answered: "Mom, I know what I'm doing. You don't have to worry. You guys take a rest first. I'll ask my cousin about the gift later." After that, she hung up the phone.

Lin Qing got up and poured himself a glass of water. After drinking it, he sat back on the sofa, picked up his cell phone and called his cousin Xie Ziyun.

The phone rang a few times before being picked up. Lin Qing greeted her softly, "Hello, sister. Did I disturb your rest?"

Xie Ziyun, who was over there, had just finished playing a piece of music and replied with a smile, "No, I haven't rested yet. Xiaoqing, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Lin Qing said a little embarrassedly: "Sister, I'm going to meet Lu Yanqi's family with him the day after tomorrow, so I want to ask you what kind of gift would be more appropriate to bring?"

Xie Ziyun thought for a moment and replied, "The day after tomorrow is a bit tight, so it's definitely too late to customize a gift. But you can bring a set of skin care products for his mother or sister, or some clothes or something like that; and some tea for his father or grandfather. Anyway, his family won't care how expensive your gift is, as long as you have the thought in mind."

Lin Qing thought this was a good suggestion and nodded, "Okay, sister, I understand. Thank you for your advice!"

Xie Ziyun smiled and then asked, "So after meeting his family, will you take him back to show him to your aunt and uncle?"

Lin Qing smiled and replied: "Yes, that's what we decided. We plan to take him back during the National Day."

Xie Ziyun couldn't help but tease, "It seems like you guys are developing very fast. Why don't you consider having a wedding with me?"

Lin Qing was amused and said with a smile: "Haha, sister, don't joke. Oh, by the way, when is your wedding?"

Xie Ziyun: "On October 10th, remember to be my bridesmaid."

Lin Qing: "Okay, I'll remember that, for sure."

The two chatted about family matters for a while before hanging up the phone.

Lin Qing felt that he would spend the night on the phone.

Just after hanging up the call with my cousin Xie Ziyun, Lu Yanqi called.

Lin Qing just picked up the phone, and before she could speak, Lu Yanqi's low voice came from the other side: "Baby, I can't sleep without you by my side, what should I do?"

His voice had a hint of laziness and coquettishness, which instantly softened Lin Qing's heart.

Lin Qing smiled and said, "Then I'll tell you a story so you can fall asleep."

Lu Yanqi chuckled, "Okay, but I want to hear you tell our story."
