After Miss Lu became the only one to enjoy the limelight, her six brothers knelt down and begged for

The little pink dumpling blinked and shook its head: "I don't know."

Ji Chiqian looked at the little pink dumpling for a while, and finally patted the cute little boy's head.

Never mind, he won't pressure the child.

He had plenty of ways to pry information out of other people, but he couldn't get anything out of this kid.

The little pink dumpling looked at the food on the table: "I'll bring something to Mommy to eat later, I'm too tired from work."

"Go."

Ji Chiqian watched the little pink dumpling run away and smiled helplessly.

At this moment, Mrs. Ji came over: "Miss Lu, are you having any difficulties at work? I noticed that this child isn't very focused while eating, and I'm worried about her mother."

Ji Chiqian said calmly, "There is indeed a small problem."

"Then why don't you hurry up and help her? Which company is giving her a hard time?"

"The Gu family."

Madam Ji asked in surprise, "Isn't this your business?"

“I can’t control this matter; the company has its own rules and regulations. She’s a designer now, so it’s only right that she modifies the design.”

After Ji Chiqian finished speaking, Madam Ji rolled her eyes and said, "I think you're just deliberately trying not to help."

Madam Ji stormed off.

Ji Chiqian clicked his tongue. This woman really knew how to bewitch people. No matter what, if he found out that this woman had done something to harm the Ji family, he would never let her go.

Lu Ning woke up the next day with dark circles under her eyes.

The little pink dumpling looked at her and asked, "Mommy, what happened to your eyes?"

"You stayed up late, but you'll feel better in a couple of days. Work isn't easy, so you need to study hard."

Lu Ning earnestly educated her daughter: "Otherwise, you'll end up like me, without a degree, only able to work with your little bit of talent, and unable to do anything else."

Sometimes, Lu Ning was quite envious of Ji Chiqian.

Although that man had a sharp tongue, she had looked up his information and had to admit he was a top student.

He graduated from Yunnan University.

The little pink dumpling nodded seriously: "I understand."

Lu Ning took the little pink dumpling downstairs for breakfast.

Mrs. Ji noticed Lu Ning's dark circles: "Did you stay up late last night? Let me take you to get a beauty treatment."

"I'll go to the company first, and I'll go later when I have time."

Madam Ji nodded: "Alright, if there are any problems, please be sure to speak up."

After watching her daughter leave for school with Mrs. Ji, Lu Ning turned to Ji Chiqian and asked, "Mr. Ji, would you like to have a chat?"

The two got into the car together.

Ji Chiqian said in a calm tone, "Go ahead and speak."

"Mr. Ji, do you know Zhao Gao, the manager of the Qiuqiu team?"

"Yeah. I know."

Lu Ning continued, "This Manager Zhao asked me to design the team's anniversary illustration, but I found that Manager Zhao's requirements are a bit high."

Ji Chiqian's lips curled slightly: "Were you working on this design last night?"

"correct."

Lu Ning was a little depressed.

Ji Chiqian said with a hint of schadenfreude, "This Manager Zhao does indeed have rather high standards."

"Mr. Ji, can't you talk to Manager Zhao and ask him not to be so demanding?"

"I can't help you with that."

Lu Ning turned her head and saw the gloating look on the man's face.

She continued, "Mr. Ji, I've heard about the esports team you founded before? I never imagined you were a gaming enthusiast in your youth!"

Ji Chiqian: "..."

He narrowed his eyes slightly: "How did you know?"

"The fact that I was able to find out means these things aren't secrets. What, Mr. Ji, are you still feeling shy?"

The man turned to the side: "Why are you asking so many questions? These are all things of the past."

"That's true. Mr. Ji is so old now, a hero doesn't dwell on past glories."

Lu Ning's eyes held a teasing glint.

Ji Chiqian gritted his teeth: "What exactly do you want to talk about?"

"Anyway, I don't think Mr. Ji is willing to open this back door, so there's nothing to talk about."

Lu Ning turned to look out the window. If she talked to this man for a while, she would lose a few years of her life.

Ji Chiqian was also looking out the car window; he had nothing to talk about with this woman.

Finally, the vehicle stopped outside the Gu Group building.

Ji Chiqian looked at her and said, "If Miss Lu can't do this job, she can leave at any time. For Xiao Xingyue's sake, I won't pursue the matter of your breach of contract."

Are you looking down on me?

Lu Ning was a little angry.

The man, without turning his head, tossed out a sentence: "Do as you please."

Lu Ning went to the design department, where she also had a workstation. She would turn on her computer and get to work.

She didn't want to be looked down upon by Ji Chiqian.

She spent the whole morning sending over the first draft of the design.

This should be fine now.

But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the design department manager spoke up: "Ms. Lu, the team has replied."

"Did you pass?"

"No, they said it lacks spiritual energy."

Lu Ning was so angry that her mouth almost twisted into a crook.

It's still lacking in spiritual energy!

She looked at the design department manager: "What kind of reason is that?"

"Ms. Lu, Manager Zhao's demands are indeed a bit excessive. Why don't you talk to him in person again?"

"Okay, then I'll go and ask him myself."

Lu Ning was furious.

That Zhao Gao, he seems so easy to talk to, but in reality he's so long-winded.

Lu Ning went directly to the Qiuqiu team by car.

She's determined to find Zhao Gao and get to the bottom of this today.

Lu Ning went directly to the Qiuqiu team, only to be told that Zhao Gao was not there.

Lu Ning looked around the office: "Where did he go?"

"I don't know either, I'm sorry."

Lu Ning looked at the man and said, "Alright, I'll wait for him here. Manager Zhao is definitely coming, right?"

"But we're not sure if he'll come today."

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Then I'll come again tomorrow, first thing in the morning. I don't believe he won't come."

She turned and left after she finished speaking.

The man sighed and called Zhao Gao directly: "Manager Zhao, Miss Lu says she'll be coming again tomorrow. It seems she absolutely has to see you."

"Okay, I get it."

After Zhao Gao hung up the phone, he looked up and saw Ji Chiqian walk into the private room.

Zhao Gao put down his phone: "Who is this Miss Lu? I heard she lives in the Ji family's old mansion?"

"Hmm, then why did you make things difficult for her?"

Ji Chiqian sat in the chair. After hearing what Lu Ning said this morning, he knew that Zhao Gao was doing it on purpose.

Zhao Gao touched his nose: "Because I think she looks like that person, I felt that she had ill intentions in approaching you, so I did this."

"Her situation is a bit complicated. Don't make things difficult for her."

Zhao Gao looked at Ji Chiqian: "Are you speaking up for this woman?"

"No, that's not it. If you don't stop, my mom will probably come looking for you. She mentioned it last night."

Zhao Gao was surprised: "Really?"

"That woman is quite cunning; my mom and grandma are treating her very well right now."

Ji Chiqian looked at Zhao Gao: "That's enough, or you can go explain to my mother yourself."

Zhao Gao sighed: "Alright, I understand."

Zhao Gao looked at Ji Chiqian and said, "Let me tell you, someone on my team can now do a twelve-hit combo. Back then, only you and Lu Ning could do that."

Ji Chiqian paused when he heard Lu Ning's name.
