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

Had Ji Qingqing not spent his money yet?
Lu Lixing immediately tensed up.
"Grandpa, has Qingqing come home yet?"
"Not yet. I called her recently. She should be on her way home."
"Alright, I'll come home 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 member of the Lu family by blood or marriage, she had been with them for many years and Elder Lu regarded her as a member 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 something for Lu Lixing. However, after browsing for a long time, she still couldn't think of what to buy him. Time 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 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!"
