"I don't know either. Let's wait and see. If I really get fired, you'll have to support me for a while," Qin Fengjiao said bluntly. She had just returned and was practically penniless, so how could she not ask for some benefits?

"Shut your jinxed mouth. You won't get fired, Li Zhicheng, right?"

Shen Menghan wasn't afraid of her finding out that she was currently with Li Zhicheng, and directly asked him if she was going to ask him for this favor.

Li Zhicheng looked at her gently and said softly, "If you say so, then so be it."

"Xiaohan, who are you with? I heard Mr. Li's voice!" Qin Fengjiao asked with delight, her ears perked up. She felt hopeful again.

“I, and,” she was about to continue when Li Zhicheng gripped her wrist tightly, his deep, dark eyes fixed on her intensely, “I’m with a man.”

"Your man? My God, you're really living together? Didn't you say it was just an act?" Qin Fengjiao was shocked. She felt that Xiaohan was no longer the Xiaohan she knew. However, wasn't she trying to figure out the relationship between her and Li Zhicheng?

Now she confessed without being asked, and it all came to her effortlessly.

"I...yes, I live with him, that's all." Shen Menghan denied it outright, how could she let Linglong know so clearly?

"Is the rumor true? Are you his girlfriend?" Qin Fengjiao seemed surprised, yet also as if it made perfect sense.

"She's his rumored girlfriend."

"Pfft, okay, you'll admit it someday. I'll let you know if there's anything going on here." Qin Fengjiao quickly hung up the phone when she saw Xu Yun walking towards her.

Shen Menghan listened to the dial tone, put her phone away, and turned to look at Li Zhicheng, who was watching her leisurely.

“Linglong desperately needs this job, please help her.” She didn’t mince words and stated her intentions directly.

"I'll definitely help your best friend, just wait and see." Li Zhicheng originally wanted to take the opportunity to talk to her about terms, but seeing that she had finally changed her attitude, he didn't bother with anything else.

"Li Jun, go to the film and television department. They want to fire Qin Fengjiao. This is simply outrageous!"

Li Zhicheng said one sentence and hung up before Li Jun could reply.

Li Jun found it strange that Qin Fengjiao had to be fired.

It even caused President Li to personally tell him that he took his phone and dialed the number of the big boss in the film and television department. As soon as the other party answered, he said, "Listen to me, whoever dares to fire Qin Fengjiao, pack your things and get out of here immediately!"

Having spent a long time with Li Zhicheng, he developed a similar decisive and resolute style of handling affairs.

"Qin Fengjiao, there's hope for a turnaround in your situation. There's no news yet, so let's wait and see."

"Thank you, Sister Xu." Qin Fengjiao replied calmly. If Xiao Han were to intervene, she believed Li Zhicheng would definitely help.

Xu Yun glanced at her, and was about to turn around and go back to her office when her phone rang. She glanced at it and answered it in front of Qin Fengjiao.

"Okay, I understand, thank you, boss."

Xu Yun agreed and hung up quickly.

Qin Fengjiao didn't dare to look at her, but she often stared at the conference room, wondering how the leaders were discussing things inside.

"Qin Fengjiao, after discussion, the leadership has decided not to fire you. However, your actions this time are indeed not recommended, so we have decided to give you a disciplinary warning." Xu Yun smiled; President Li's people are indeed different.

"Really? Thank you, Sister Xu!" Qin Fengjiao was overjoyed and subconsciously reached out to grab her hand, but then felt that she shouldn't do that and let go.

"Do a good job. If you don't, I won't let you off the hook either." Xu Yun suddenly became very stern. Qin Fengjiao was a talented person, and she would cultivate her well.

"Thank you, Sister Xu. I definitely won't let you down," Qin Fengjiao quickly replied. The matter was finally over!

After Xu Yun walked away, she raised her arms. Yay! She'll definitely do a good job!

She couldn't wait to take out her phone and dial Shen Menghan's number.

Shen Menghan found it strange; why was the call coming again after only a few minutes?

"Xiaohan, let me tell you, I wasn't fired. Sister Xu even told me to work hard!"

"Hey, look at you, go ahead and do a good job! Call me if anything comes up." Shen Menghan teased. That's one good thing about Linglong; she can't keep things from her.

She felt guilty for hiding Li Zhicheng from her and thought that she should tell her the truth when the time was right.

"I know, then I'll hang up!"

Shen Menghan put her phone away, looked at Li Zhicheng, and said softly, "Thank you."

"No need to thank me, your business is my business." Li Zhicheng spoke without thinking, his words of care for her coming out naturally.

“But your problems are not my problems.” Shen Menghan deliberately made things difficult for him.

His expression remained unchanged, and he said gently, "It's alright. I'll protect you for the rest of your life. You don't need to protect me. You just need to be my queen."

"puff."

Shen Menghan revealed a charming smile. She didn't expect Li Zhicheng's words to become more and more excessive. He was so good at flirting with women. She really didn't believe that he had never had a girlfriend before.

The sky here was so blue, the clouds so pure, and the sound of the waves crashing in her ears made her feel increasingly comfortable lying down.

"Xiaohan, this is our other home. You can come whenever you want."

“It’s your home, not ours,” she insisted, not wanting to be associated with him.

"Okay, this is our future home."

"Stop being so cheeky!"

"Lie down a little longer, I'll go make you some food."

"You can cook? When do you buy groceries?"

"There are vegetables in the garden and eggs in the refrigerator, but no meat." After saying this, Li Zhicheng stood up abruptly. Looking at her beautiful face, he was in high spirits. He whistled before walking into the house.

Shen Menghan went with him; since she wasn't going to work today, she could just kill time like that.

In Li Zhicheng's courtyard, there were several plots of vegetables growing. He had just stepped inside when he saw Shen Menghan following him. She had smelled the vegetables and rushed over.

Seeing the lush green expanse, she was astonished and couldn't help but exclaim, "Who planted these vegetables?"

"The cleaning lady."

"The cleaning lady? She planted the flowers too?" She was full of curiosity about this cleaning lady.

"The flowers were planted by someone else. What kind of vegetables do you like to eat?" Li Zhicheng pointed to the vegetables in the field, looking quite proud.

"Hmm, I want water spinach, go pick some." She pointed, and the water spinach looked very robust yet tender. She thought she might as well give it a try and test his skills.

Li Zhicheng nodded: "Okay, you wait."

"And eggplant, I like to eat eggplant stew."

"I can grant your wish!" Li Zhicheng's smile widened! It was as if everything she said was a piece of cake!

Shen Menghan watched him bend down to pick vegetables with a leisurely air, wondering to herself: Does a young master like him really know how to cook?
