Chapter 99: The Tool Person, Lu Xiu

Other than this little episode in the afternoon, Cheng Ling had a pretty smooth day.

After she got home, she didn’t see Wang Ma until she went to bed.

Mi Duo said that Wang Ma was scared and didn’t come down for the whole day. She just stayed on the second floor.

Cheng Ling didn’t mind if she didn’t work as long as she didn’t cause trouble.

Cheng Ling washed up and read for a while before lying down on her bed and taking out her phone.

She didn’t rely much on her phone. She only used it to listen to forums and contact people through WeChat when necessary.

She also didn’t have many WeChat contacts. Usually, if people needed to contact her urgently to ask her, they would call her directly.

After she was done with everything, Cheng Ling finally remembered what Lu Dong had mentioned this morning.

She opened the chatbox with Lu Qi on WeChat.

The last time the two of them had a chat was on a Saturday.

[ Farming Professional ]: Your house has been built. Lu Dong told me today that you want me to help you look for the furniture?

It was already 10:30 pm, but Lu Qi was still in his office dealing with the issue of the arms.

The issue was almost resolved.

It just so happened that a company that Lu Qi and the others had previously worked with also had a cooperative relationship with country L.

This company acted as a peacemaker and finally persuaded country L. to release this batch of arms.

Of course, to successfully resolve this issue, country L had to get some benefits.

Right now, Lu Qi was on a video call with them, discussing the terms.

In the video, a foreigner was holding a thick piece of paper and talking non-stop.

Lu Qi was listening with his Bluetooth headset with a lazy expression as if he didn’t care much.

Suddenly, his phone on the table lit up.

He picked it up and saw that it was a message from Cheng Ling.

Lu Qi immediately raised his hand and said in a fluent foreign language, “Please wait a moment, let me reply to a message.”

Then, he took off his Bluetooth headset and picked up his phone to reply seriously.

Lu Xiu was helping Lu Qi with the documents and records. When he saw Lu Qi’s serious expression, he thought that it was something important.

He tilted his body slightly to take a look. Wasn’t the profile picture that was chatting with him Cheng Ling?

Was this considered ‘losing one’s mind due to lust’?

[ Lu Qi ]: Yes, I’ve been quite busy these two days, so I didn’t have time to look at the furniture.

[ Farming Professional ]: As the young master of the Lu family, isn’t it easy to get someone to help you buy furniture?

What she said made sense, and even Lu Qi himself was stunned.

[ Lu Qi ]: But you’re not willing.

Cheng Ling didn’t expect Lu Qi to reply as such.

Seeing that Cheng Ling did not reply, Lu Qi typed another sentence.

[ Lu Qi ]: I can pay you.

Cheng Ling thought for a while and did not see the need. Till now, Lu Qi’s medical fees were already a relatively large sum of money.

[ Lu Qi ]: It’s fine even if it’s double. Just tell me the amount.

Cheng Ling burst out laughing in her room.

Xie Ying happened to come to Cheng Ling’s room with a set of pajamas.

“Ling Ling, these are the washed pajamas. I folded them for you and put them in the closet.”

“Okay, Grandma. I’ll do it myself in the future. You don’t have to worry about it.”

“I’m just on the way. Who are you chatting with? Why are you laughing so happily?”

Cheng Ling raised her hand to touch the corner of her mouth. She found that the corner of her mouth was indeed upward.

She turned off the phone screen and returned to normal.

“No, I just saw a joke. Grandma, you should go to bed early. It’s already 10:30.”

After Xie Ying left the room, Cheng Ling turned on the phone screen again.

After Lu Qi offered double the price, he did not reply.

[ Farming Professional ]: You don’t have to pay. I can help you with this small thing, but I don’t know what style of furniture you like.

Lu Qi, who hadn’t received a reply from Cheng Ling, thought that Cheng Ling was caught up with something. When he saw his phone light up again, he interrupted the meeting.

He said to Lu Xiu in Chinese, “There’s nothing important from now on. You can continue.”

Lu Qi moved aside and let Lu Xiu take over the meeting.

After saying that, he walked away without explaining to the people in the video.

However, this was normal. Lu Qi had always looked down on this group of people from country L.

They had always used all kinds of despicable methods when doing things. If not for the fact they had accidentally been schemed against by the people from country L, Lu Qi wouldn’t have had to deal with this group of people.

Lu Xiu, who had been pushed to the main seat, felt that he was a tool person. He would be moved to wherever he was needed.

Dealing with country L was fine, but sometimes he even had to deal with the Cheng family.

He sighed, then got serious again and continued the meeting to negotiate with country L.
