Chapter 73 - You can buy anything that you like! (2)

Lu Lixing buried himself in the pile of docunts and started to deal with the accumulated workload. He remained at this task until 9:50 AM when his assistant knocked on his door to inform him that the departnt heads were waiting for him in the conference room. It was 9:55 AM when Lu Lixing finished reading one more docunt and left his office to go to the conference room. At 10 AM, he punctually opened the door to the conference room.

The eting continued without interruptions until noon when the assistant knocked on the door, and the eting was paused for half an hour for a food break. Half an hour later, the departnt heads returned to the conference room and the eting continued. All the items on the agenda that had accumulated over the past month had to be gone through as a formality. At 5PM, the eting finally ca to an end.

After a day-long eting, Lu Lixing returned to his office, looking a bit tired.

The phone rang, and Lu Lixing answered it.

"Lixing, you promised Grandpa this morning that you would co ho earlier today to eat dinner."

Lu Lixing glanced at the ti. It was 5:20 PM. There was only one more hour left in the workday, but more than half of the docunts on his desk still needed his attention.

He instinctively started to say sothing to shirk out of his promise, "Grandpa, I..." Lu Lixing suddenly trailed off.

When he was working, he was usually completely focused and rarely got distracted with non-work related thoughts. Now, during this montary break, his tense nerves relaxed, and a thought had suddenly popped into his head.

Why hadn't the system ntioned that he had completed his task? Or ntioned the points had been added?

Had Ji Qingqing not spent his money yet?

Lu Lixing imdiately tensed up.

"Grandpa, has Qingqing co ho yet?"

"Not yet. I called her recently. She should be on her way ho."

"Alright, I'll co ho earlier tonight. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."

After saying that, Lu Lixing ended the call and dialed Qingqing's number.

When Lu Lixing called her phone, Ji Qingqing was currently shopping at the mall.

After she had left the antique shop earlier, she thought it over and decided that it wouldn't be enough to only give Elder Lu a gift. Aunty Pei had also taken care of her during the past few days. Although Aunty Pei wasn't a mber of the Lu family by blood or marriage, she had been with them for many years and Elder Lu regarded her as a mber of the family. It was only right that she gave Aunty Pei a gift too.

And so, after paying for the prayer beads, Ji Qingqing had the driver drop her off at the nearest mall. She looked around in the mall for a while before she finally chose a necklace that she thought would be very suitable for Aunty Pei.

Once she started shopping, it was hard to stop. Seeing that it was still early, Ji Qingqing visited a few more stores. Since she had already brought a gift for Elder Lu and Aunty Pei, she might as well buy sothing for Lu Lixing. However, after browsing for a long ti, she still couldn't think of what to buy him. Ti passed by quickly as she window shopped. It was 5PM when she finally settled on buying a leather belt for Lu Lixing.

Right after leaving the store, she got a call from Lu Lixing.

"Did you get the prayer beads?"

He went straight to asking this question, and his tone didn't sound good.

Ji Qingqing's enthusiasm for buying him a gift dimd.

"I got it. Why?"

Lu Lixing stressed each word as he asked, "Did you really go?"

"Of course, why would I lie to you?"

"Whose card did you use to pay for it?"

Ji Qingqing thought it over and decided to hide the fact that she had paid the remaining balance until she got ho and could tell Lu Lixing in person. Grandpa would definitely feel really happy getting a joint gift from them.

"Yours."

"Liar!"
