Lu Tingxiao took his coat from the rack and said as he put it on, "I'm afraid that won't do, I have to leave the country for work, the first thing tomorrow morning."
"What!" Ning Xi exclaimed.
This is bad news! Why does the devil want to run away?
Lu Tingxiao thought about it, then said, "So, I have two propositions now."
"What are they?" Ning Xi quickly asked.
Lu Tingxiao continued, "First proposition, wait for me to return after a week of work outstation!"
"One week!?" Even though it was not too long, a week was not that short either! "What's the second proposition?"
Lu Tingxiao looked at her, then said, "Second proposition, follow me home."
"What?" Ning Xi was stunned, "What...what do you mean?"
"What I mean is, tonight you can have dinner at my place. After dinner, I'll start reading the remaining half. When I'm done, I'll discuss my opinions with you. We should be able to get it done by tonight," Lu Tingxiao explained.
