Chapter 315 The Taoist Priest in the End of the World 31
Lan Xi put aside the slight embarrassment and said, "Grandma, I'm fine. I want to invite you, Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, and Mom to have a meal together. I wonder if you and Grandpa have time?"
"Of course we have time, but do you have a place reserved? I'll reserve a place for you, okay? When are we going?" Grandma Xie asked a series of questions excitedly.
Lan Xi answered one by one: "I am planning to get together at Tianhai, but the time has not been confirmed yet, so I haven't booked a room yet. Grandma said tomorrow is fine, so I came to ask if you have time tomorrow, and then ask mom later."
Grandma Xie rolled her eyes, took her husband's phone and called Lanxi, "Okay, no problem, go call your mom tomorrow night! I'll hang up first!"
"Okay, goodbye grandma." Lan Xi looked at the hung up phone and felt that the old lady was going to make trouble.
Lanxi guessed correctly. The reason why Mrs. Xie hung up the phone in a hurry was because the call she made to her daughter using Mr. Xie's mobile phone had been connected.
I heard a voice from the other end of the line: "Dad, are you calling me for something?"
Grandma Xie ordered directly: "I must have something to call you, otherwise no one would want to talk to you. My good daughter will call you later and invite you to dinner, you must agree to it."
"No, Mom. I haven't seen you for so many years and I don't feel comfortable. Besides, I don't have the time!" Ms. Xie refused. She really didn't have the face to see a child.
How could Grandma Xie not know what her daughter was thinking? She said unhappily, "Why are you going when I ask you to? Your father, the two elders from the Gu family, and the one in front of you will also go. My daughter must have a reason for gathering everyone together."
Ms. Xie really didn't want to go. Her current husband, who was beside her, heard that his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and his wife's ex-husband would also go, so he persuaded her: "Since the child has called everyone in the family, there must be something wrong. Let's go and take a look!"
The situation at the Gu family was similar. After his mother hung up the phone, President Gu started to complain, "How can I have the time to go? How about sending an assistant to take care of it tomorrow? Ah! Dad, why did you hit me?"
Before my stepfather could finish his words, Mr. Gu chased him and beat him with a cane. The old man didn't let him go until he agreed to keep the appointment.
After the fight, Mr. Gu also said, "If you don't go, forget about your shares in the company."
On the evening of the second day, everyone came to Tianhai Tower with different feelings.
Lanxi had been waiting in the reserved private room. Seeing the two elders from the Gu family and the two elders from the Xie family coming in one by one, she took care of them with a faint smile on her face.
The four old men, who hadn't seen each other for a while, sat down and started chatting without Lanxi having to find topics for them.
The box fell silent when President Gu, his current wife, and Ms. Xie, her current husband, walked in.
After everyone was seated, the atmosphere was a little awkward. Lan Xi waited for the waiter to serve the dishes, cleared her throat and said, "We gathered everyone together today to talk about one thing." Lan Xi looked at President Gu and his wife and Ms. Xie and her husband, who all had different expressions on their faces.
Lan Xi poured a cup of tea for the elderly and herself before continuing, "I think you should have received the news today. The country has established large bases in various parts of the country. The bases have been completed and some people can be allowed to move in in advance."
President Gu glanced at Lan Xi and said, "Don't worry, we will try our best to get more spots, and you will be one of them."
Ms. Xie's current husband glanced at President Gu and said, "Yes, we will all try our best."
Lan Xi looked at them and smiled, saying, "You don't need to worry about it. The state has given me the qualification for early move-in for my immediate family members. In addition, there are 8 quotas for early move-in with funding. I gathered you together today to discuss who will receive these 8 quotas for early move-in with funding."
President Gu’s current wife exclaimed: “What? You actually have 8 places? You…” She wanted to ask more, but when she thought about her relationship with Lanxi, she realized that she was not at the point where she could inquire about this, so she swallowed the question that was about to be asked directly.
Lanxi didn't hear anything either. She took out a few documents from her baby and put them on the table. "This is the list of materials needed for the 8 places. You can make a decision after reading it. You can also decide how to allocate the places." After Lanxi finished speaking, she started eating.
President Gu and Ms. Xie looked at Lan Xi in surprise, with a hint of guilt in their eyes.
Grandpa and grandma smiled at each other, and the awkward atmosphere gradually eased. Several people looked at the list above, and occasionally whispered to each other.
In the end, the two families decided that the quota would be split equally between the Xie and Gu families. After this incident, everyone started toasting and the atmosphere became lively. There was no trace of the previous awkwardness, and the two men even talked about business matters.
Lanxi was quite satisfied with their decision not to ask questions that were not necessary. After the meal, Lanxi sent the four elderly people to the car, and then drove back under the complicated gazes of President Gu and Ms. Xie.
Lanxi did not pay attention to what happened afterwards, but just lived her own life. Another month passed, and Lanxi felt the restlessness in the air and felt a little irritated.
If the virus in the air wasn't changing so quickly, Lan Xi would have developed the antidote long ago. It's a pity that it's not available now. We have to wait until the virus stabilizes.
Lan Xi collapsed on the sofa, took out her cell phone and made a call.
"Hello! Lanxi, why are you calling me suddenly?" Irene's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.
Lan Xi said directly without beating around the bush: "I feel that the changes in the air have become greater and greater these days. I plan to move to the Supernatural Bureau. Do you want to send your brother to the base in advance, and then move to the Supernatural Bureau as well?"
Irene: "Then I'll make a phone call and ask how my brother's arrangements are going."
Lan Xi: "Okay, then go ahead and ask. I still need to talk to Hua Nian."
"Okay, I'll call you back later." Irene hung up the phone and called her brother again.
Lan Xi hung up and called Hua Nian again, notifying Huang Yating. After thinking for a while, she also sent a message to President Gu and Ms. Xie.
