Due to issues with the betrothal gift, Qiao Xing's two-year relationship with her boyfriend collapsed overnight. Feeling disheartened, her elderly neighbor insisted his grandson go on a blind d...
Chapter 10 My boyfriend is so clingy!
Qin Ce got up to leave, but President Liao quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"Oh, Mr. Qin, what are you doing? We're just discussing this. If you're not willing, we can discuss it further. What you want is absolute control, not some cabbage, right? How can we just decide on it like that?"
“I like to work with sincere people. S&C has injected so much capital, which is far more than the stock price. If I cannot obtain absolute control, then in the subsequent business expansion, S&C will be completely serving you. In that case, why should I not sign a commercial contract with you, and why should I inject capital and take shares?”
The smile on Mr. Liao's face began to falter. Yes, he had seen from the beginning that Qin Ce wanted to integrate their company into S&C's industrial chain, which was actually entirely beneficial to Mr. Liao.
But who would complain about having too much money? The subsequent business is all unknown and intangible; only what you actually get in your hands is real. So he wanted Qin Ce to increase his investment.
He thought Qin Ce was young, foolish, and rich, but he didn't realize that he had underestimated him.
Mr. Liao gritted his teeth and said, "Since Mr. Qin has said so, I won't keep you in suspense any longer! I can also see that Mr. Qin is sincere about cooperating. Rest assured, I will take care of the shares and give you a satisfactory answer."
"how long?"
Mr. Liao was slightly taken aback. After a moment's thought, he said, "Three days. I will give you an answer within three days!"
"OK".
"Mr. Qin, it's almost noon now. How about we have lunch together?"
"No, I have something to do. Maybe next time."
After Qin Ce finished speaking, he led his men out of the conference room. President Liao followed him very attentively, trying to get close to him.
"Mr. Qin, you used to live in Chongqing, right? There are a few special restaurants in Chongqing that you should definitely try if you have the chance..."
Qin Ce had only taken a few steps when he suddenly saw a figure rushing out of an office not far away. A slight change finally appeared on his expressionless face.
The person who came out was none other than Qiao Xing, who was holding documents in her hands and looking down at them.
This is last month's payslip, which she calculated, but there was a problem when the finance department checked it, so she needs to confirm it with the finance department again.
When General Manager Liao saw Qin Ce stop walking, he subconsciously looked up and followed Qin Ce's gaze.
Qiao Xing was dressed in a business suit, a white shirt and a suit jacket, paired with a knee-length pencil skirt. Her flesh-colored stockings accentuated her straight and slender legs, making her a truly pleasing sight.
General Manager Liao smiled knowingly. "Her name is Qiao Xing. She works in the administration department, mainly responsible for files and logistics. It's a pity she already has a boyfriend."
As Mr. Liao finished speaking, Qiao Xing's figure disappeared around the corner.
It's hard to believe that a big boss like Mr. Liao would remember such a small employee, but for someone in administration, appearance is naturally important, and Qiao Xing stands out among the many beautiful women and handsome men in the administration and human resources departments.
After meeting him a few times, General Manager Liao naturally remembered him.
Qin Ce didn't say anything, he just nodded and walked towards the elevator.
Qiao Xing had just handed the materials to the finance department when she saw that there were still three minutes left before the end of the workday. The finance department told her to come back in the afternoon.
"Okay, I'll come back to work this afternoon."
Qiao Xing walked out of the finance department, just as it was time to leave work, when Zhang Xue came over to call her to go eat.
The two went downstairs together. When they reached the lobby, she vaguely saw a familiar figure. President Liao was talking to him and personally saw him to his car.
There were just too many people leaving get off work, and that person's face was blocked.
"What are you looking at?" Zhang Xue asked curiously, following her gaze.
"Nothing, where should we eat?" Qiao Xing looked away, wondering if she had seen wrong. Why was Qin Ce here?
Are they here to look for a job again?
"Let's go out and see what we want to eat. I don't know what to eat either."
As Zhang Xue linked arms with Qiao Xing and they stepped out of the company, Qiao Xing saw the last person she wanted to see—Lin Yu!
Lin Yu walked towards her in a hurry. Zhang Xue pouted and said irritably, "Your boyfriend is so clingy. He even came to see you in the middle of the day."
Qiao Xing stared at the figure, her brows furrowing: "He's not my boyfriend anymore."
"What?"
Lin Yu had already run up to Qiao Xing. He stared at her breathlessly and said, "Xingxing, let's have a meal together."
"Tsk, Qiao Xing, I really envy you having such a loving boyfriend. Okay, you guys go eat, I won't be a third wheel," Zhang Xue joked as she left.
Lin Yu looked at her almost pleadingly, hoping she would give him some face.
Qiao Xing was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Let's go."
Lin Yu was overjoyed. He subconsciously reached out to take Qiao Xing's hand, but Qiao Xing dodged him.
Qiao Xing took a few steps, and Lin Yu walked around to the front of her, came to a Ford car, and very attentively opened the car door for Qiao Xing, "Get in."
Qiao Xing paused slightly. "You bought a car?"
Lin Yu looked a little awkward and stammered, "Oh dear, I ordered it last month. I wanted to surprise you, but who knew you... Anyway, get in the car first."
Qiao Xing couldn't take it anymore. She glared at Lin Yu and said, "Didn't you say you had no money? You couldn't even afford a down payment on a house, but you've already bought a car. Lin Yu, you've really got some wild ideas!"
"Xingxing, what are you saying? This car isn't expensive. Don't get so agitated. You can drive it even if I buy it."
"How expensive is it? This car is also your premarital property, right? The house was bought and registered in your father's name, and you rushed to buy a car before the wedding."
"Lin Yu, I really have nothing more to say to you. I've changed my mind. I'll give you one week to return the money, otherwise you can expect to speak with my lawyer."
Qiao Xing's voice wasn't loud, but during rush hour, with people coming and going, some people still heard him.
Lin Yu was a little embarrassed. "Keep your voice down. Can you get in the car first?"
"I have nothing more to say to you. Instead of wasting your time, you should figure out how to pay me back."
After saying that, Qiao Xing turned and walked in another direction.
She found that every time she met Lin Yu after breaking up with him, her understanding of him was refreshed.
Lin Yu stared at her retreating figure, his fingers cracking as he clenched them.
After Lin Yu's outburst, Qiao Xing couldn't concentrate on work in the afternoon.
She would leave work at five o'clock and go home. The bus was so crowded that her feet barely touched the ground. She thought of Lin Yu's bus again, and an indescribable sadness welled up inside her.
What kind of man has she been dating in the past two years?
Qiao Xing sighed. She bought groceries at the supermarket outside the residential area and was carrying them home when a Mercedes drove in in front of her.
Qiao Xing paused, staring at the license plate number and blinking. Was that... Qin Ce was back?
The car was parked not far away. The door opened, and Qin Ce got out of the car. Qiao Xing stared at his profile and the more she looked at him, the more he resembled the person who had spoken with President Liao at the company entrance earlier that day.
