Chapter 269: The Miser Met the Miser Master Lu

“Blessing Talismans, Exorcizing Talismans, Accelerating Talismans, Yin Gathering Talismans. Not bad, not bad.” Luo Baode nodded with a smile as he complimented.

As for whether he complimented Lu Zijia or the person behind Lu Zijia, only he knew.

Lu Zijia noticed the change in his expression and could more or less guess what he was thinking, but she had no intention of explaining.

“Since you’re satisfied, Director, 1.8 million yuan, thank you.” Lu Zijia reached out her hand again. That harmless look with her curled eyes looked a bit annoying in Luo Baode’s eyes.

Even though the talismans in his hands were pretty good, he was definitely not willing to spend 1.8 million on them.

But who asked him to say something like that before?

If he went back on his words and refused to buy them, wouldn’t his dignity as the Director drop onto the ground?

Seeing how much his heart ached like a miser, Lu Zijia didn’t urge him, but still maintained the posture with her hand reached out. He was totally… stubborn!

A miser met a miser like Lu Zijia. Luo Baode was truly unlucky.

“Um, Zijia, my friend, isn’t 100,000 yuan per talisman a bit too expensive?

“How about…” A discount or something?

Luo Baode smiled like a Buddha. His tone gave people gooseb.u.mps.

However, before he finished talking, Lu Zijia interrupted him first. “Director, it’s not expensive. These talismans are good stuff. People outside can’t buy them even if they want to.

“Besides, you’re the Director of the Special Administration Office of the capital. Talismans that are worth 100,000 yuan are what makes you look distinguished, aren’t they?”

Hearing these kind words, Luo Baode felt delighted in his mind. At the same time, he nodded in agreement subconsciously. “That’s indeed true.”

However, Luo Baode suddenly realized something the next second. It seemed that… something was wrong?

In the end, Lu Zijia still successfully got 1.8 million from Luo Baode, this miser. She totally had a sense of accomplishment!

Seeing Lu Zijia admiring the cheque with a smile, Luo Baode, whose heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were all in pain, had the urge to s.n.a.t.c.h back the cheque he wasn’t willing to pay just then.

However, when he thought of his ident.i.ty as the Director, he forcibly suppressed his hands that were about to lose control.

“Director, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go first.” Ever since she showed her strength at the Fei family, Lu Zijia knew that Luo Baode would come for her sooner or later.

She just didn’t expect it to be so soon.

“Wait!” Luo Baode quickly stopped her. He was so concerned about the 1.8 million he had lost that he almost forgot about it.

Lu Zijia, who was about to stand up, had no choice but to sit back down and look at Luo Baode in confusion.

Every time Luo Baode glanced at Lu Zijia, he felt more heartbroken, so he decided not to look at her.

He raised his hand to take a folder on the side and pushed it over without looking up. “You’ve been in the Administration Office for a while. There’s a case here for you to deal with.

“If there’s anything you don’t understand, ask Qing Junyi.

“Alright, that’s all. Go quickly, go quickly!”

Luo Baode’s att.i.tude at this moment was like he was chasing away the G.o.d of Plague, without the enthusiasm at the beginning at all.

She took 1.8 million from this miser and she still wanted him to treat her nicely? Don’t even think about it!

Luo Baode thought furiously as his heart ached even more.

He really wanted to cry!
