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

Lu Lixing buried himself in the pile of documents 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 department heads were waiting for him in the conference room. It was 9:55 AM when Lu Lixing finished reading one more document and left his office to go to the conference room. At 10 AM, he punctually opened the door to the conference room.

The meeting continued without interruptions until noon when the assistant knocked on the door, and the meeting was paused for half an hour for a food break. Half an hour later, the department heads returned to the conference room and the meeting 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 meeting finally came to an end.

After a day-long meeting, 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 come home earlier today to eat dinner."

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

He instinctively started to say something 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 momentary break, his tense nerves relaxed, and a thought had suddenly popped into his head.

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 dimmed.

"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 home and could tell Lu Lixing in person. Grandpa would definitely feel really happy getting a joint gift from them.

"Yours."

"Liar!"
