Just as Xu Yanfeng was about to say something, Xia Xi suddenly exclaimed, leaning closer to the screen: "Lu Mingji called me back. Let's not talk for now. Bye, see you tonight."

Xu Yanfeng: “…”

Xia Xi called Lu Mingji in the morning but the call was rejected. He sent a message saying that he was in a meeting and couldn't answer the phone, and they should talk again at noon. The meeting was probably over by now.

Lu Mingji: "Something happened at the company?"

Xia Xi: "How do you know?"

"If something hadn't happened, would you have called me? You wouldn't have called to ask if I was tired from the meeting or if I was used to the food in a foreign place, would you?" Lu Mingji chuckled. "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Xia Xi put down her chopsticks and told him carefully about Mrs. Li.

Lu Mingji remained silent.

Xia Xi was a little anxious: "Don't be silent."

Lu Mingji asked her in return: "What do you think?"

"It's absolutely impossible to give away free renovations. We can't set a precedent like this." Xia Xi said seriously, "If this kind of thing gets out, it's bound to be exploited by people with ulterior motives. If future customers fake an accident to get free renovations, then there's no need to operate the company anymore."

Lu Mingji pondered for a moment and agreed: "You are right."

"..." Xia Xi picked up the chopsticks again, picked up a piece of meat and put it into her mouth, chewing slowly. With someone to support her, she was not so annoyed. "So, what do you think, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Mingji said: "We can pay for Mrs. Li's mother's medical expenses. In addition, we can give her a 20% discount on this order. This is the biggest concession the company can make. No more is impossible." This goes against the principles of a businessman.

Even if Mrs. Lai took the case to court, it would be untenable. The company was willing to pay a portion of the money to calm the customer and maintain its reputation.

Xia Xi understood, and as a friend, she greeted Lu Mingji a few words and ended the call.

After work, Xia Xi collapsed onto the sofa as soon as she got home, slumped over like a pancake. Xu Yanfeng arrived earlier than her and tinkered in the kitchen for a while before squeezing some orange juice. He brought one glass to Ziheng and another to Xia Xi.

Xia Xi was too tired and didn't want to raise her hand, so Xu Yanfeng put the glass of orange juice on the coffee table.

"I heard you say at noon that something happened at the company." Xu Yanfeng sat down next to her and pinched her shoulder. "Is it serious?"

Xia Xi used her elbows to prop up her upper body, picked up the orange juice and took a few sips. "Fortunately, after discussing it with Lu Mingji, we've decided on a solution. However, there's still a tough battle to negotiate with the client later."

Xu Yanfeng raised his hands to cover Ziheng's eyes, leaned forward, and kissed Xia Xi on the lips: "Do you feel better?"

Ziheng was watching TV when suddenly everything went dark in front of him and he was speechless.

Before Xia Xi could say anything, she heard a ringing call. She grabbed her phone and realized it wasn't hers. The screen showed "Ms. Zhong." She raised an eyebrow and casually asked, "Who is Ms. Zhong?"

Xu Yanfeng said: "My mother."

Xia Xi: “…”

Xu Yanfeng took the hand covering Ziheng's eyes and took the phone from Xia Xi. Before he answered the call, he guessed the purpose of Zhong Yinghong's call: "My mother wants to formally invite you to dinner. She mentioned it to me last time."

"Eat?" Xia Xi, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, changed her listless look and became more energetic. "Where do we eat?"

Xu Yanfeng had a playful expression on his face: "Maybe it's over at the old house. What, are you scared?"

Xia Xi put down the cup silently without refutation. She was really a little scared.
