Chapter 74 - You can buy anything that you like! (3)
Ji Qingqing\'s heart skipped a beat. How did Lu Lixing know she was lying?
"How did you find out?"
Lu Lixing truly had to restrain himself in order to calmly ask, "Why didn\'t you use my credit card?"
Confident that her actions were justified, Ji Qingqing said, "Grandpa has been taking good care of me, so I want to buy him a gift too. Didn\'t you already pay a deposit for the prayer beads? Since I paid the remaining balance, it can be counted as a joint gift from both of us. Didn\'t you want us to act like a loving and harmonious couple to make grandpa happy? Grandpa will definitely be very happy when he finds out the gift is from both of us? What\'s the problem?"
-- "Imminent death warning: within the next hour, please have your wife, Ji Qingqing, spend half a million yuan. If you fail this task, you\'ll immediately die in your office once the time limit lapses.
Lu Lixing froze in surprise for a moment. "I remember I accumulated 35 hours yesterday."
Little A calculated his account balance.
-- "It\'s like this. At 6PM yesterday, you had 35 points, but 24 hours has passed since then. If the task isn\'t completed, you\'ll be deducted ten points. When your points are 0 or less, your life will come to an end. That\'s why you only have one hour left to complete this task."
Lu Lixing tightened his grip on his phone. "Ji Qingqing, go use my credit credit to buy Aunty Pei a gift. It has to cost over half a million yuan."
Ji Qingqing proudly said, "No need, I\'ve already bought a necklace for Aunty Pei. I think it\'ll really suit her."
Lu Lixing took a deep breath. "Call me hubby ten times."
After a stunned silence, Ji Qingqing abruptly ended the call.
Lu Lixing blankly stared at the black screen on his phone for three seconds before suddenly getting up, picking up his jacket, and heading out.
The assistant came over with a document that needed his signature, and Lu Lixing said, "I\'m done with work for the day."
"But CEO Lu, this document is very important." And, it wasn\'t the end of the workday yet.
Of course, the assistant wouldn\'t dare to say the latter part.
Holding his phone, Lu Lixing didn\'t paused in his quick stride. If flames could shoot out of his eyes, they would right now. "Bring it to me tomorrow!"
After saying that, he called Ji Qingqing again. It took a long time before she picked up.
Ji Qingqing was at the end of her patience. She didn\'t want to answer the call. It was one thing for this jerk to want her to call her hubby at home, but she was outside right now!
"Mr. Lu, what is it now?"
"Where are you?"
"Why?"
Lu Lixing grinded his teeth. "I need your help with something."
"You don\'t have sound so mean about it," Ji Qingqing grumbled before telling him the name of the mall.
"Wait there, I\'ll be there soon."
Right after Lu Lixing passed the office door, several employees approached him with requests.
"CEO Lu, the Finance Director told me to ask you about tomorrow\'s..."
"Tomorrow\'s things should be discussed tomorrow."
"CEO Lu, this contract..."
"Leave it for tomorrow."
Lu Lixing didn\'t look back as he entered the elevator and left behind a group of confused employees.
What was going on? Why was their workaholic boss leaving work early?
Lu Lixing rode the elevator down, then he drove to the mall where Ji Qingqing was.
But, it was currently rush hour, and traffic was at a standstill. He changed lanes a few times, and the car slowly inched its way to its destination with many halts in between. By the time he finally reached the mall, forty minutes had passed.
As soon as Lu Lixing got out of the car, he called Ji Qingqing. "Where are you?"
Translator Ramblings: I think it would be more fun and interesting if both Lu Lixing and Ji Qingqing had to fulfill tasks from the system. It feels too lopsided right now. What do you guys think?
