Chapter 308 One must always have dreams

Qiao Xing wanted to sit on the sofa, but the two of them were sitting at opposite ends. Should she sit in the middle?

It feels even stranger now.

Finally, Wang Ye got up and went back to his room by himself.

Qiao Xing sat down next to Bai Yi, looked around, and saw that her aunt was cooking in the kitchen and wouldn't be coming out for a while. She then asked in a low voice, "Team Leader Bai, are you serious?"

Bai Yi said, "Of course, otherwise why would I be sitting here?"

"But...have you thought it through?"

Bai Yi looked at her with amusement, "Do you think I'm not good enough for Wang Ye, or are you worried that Wang Ye isn't good enough for me?"

"That's not what I meant. I meant, what if something happens to Young Master Jiang..."

Bai Yi said, "Once I pay off my debts, I won't need him anymore. Anyway, he shouldn't need me either."

"He has quite a few girlfriends."

"So what's there to worry about?"

Qiao Xing didn't know what to say, but thinking about it, Team Leader Bai was smart, and his cousin was a bit simple-minded. With Bai Yi watching over him, things might be better?

She felt that Bai Yi should be able to control Wang Ye.

"Then it's good that you've thought it through. I wish you happiness."

Bai Yi was amused by her words, "Didn't Wang Ye make it clear to you? You even wished us happiness."

"Then what should I say? Happy New Year?"

"Never mind, whatever."

Qiao Xing then asked, "My cousin told me that once you've paid off your debts, you should start making money. Are you planning to quit your job?"

"Yes, I've got that idea, so good luck with your pick. This spot is reserved for you."

I will try my best!

Although Qiao Xing lacked confidence, everyone should have dreams.

The position of Team Leader Bai has great potential for future development. With S&C backing the company, they will likely recruit more people to establish a complete planning department and also appoint department heads.

These are things that Qiao Xing can strive for for the time being.

But the prerequisite is that she has to achieve results this year.

"What does Team Leader Bai plan to do after resigning?"

"It's not clear yet. It's a bit early to talk about this now. Let's talk about it after I've really paid off my debts."

"All right."

The two chatted for a while, then the aunt called them to eat.

At the dinner table, you can't avoid being asked questions, such as about the relationship between Qiao Xing and Bai Yi.

But that's obvious. Even if you don't get along, you can't say bad things about someone in front of them, right?

When asked about her school, Qiao Xing told her aunt a trick: her academic credentials could be found on the China Higher Education Student Information System (CHESICC).

He Fen kept this in mind, and after dinner, when Qiao Xing and Bai Yi left, she pulled Wang Ye aside to tinker with this thing.

The two of them watched tutorials and videos, and finally managed to register successfully, only to be asked to enter a certificate number.

He Fen pressured Wang Ye to ask for Bai Yi's certificate number.

Wang Ye could only take out his phone, but when he opened WeChat, he saw a message from Bai Yi ten minutes later, which was her graduation certificate number.

Bai Yi seemed to know he would want it; looking at the string of numbers, Wang Ye felt a chill run down his spine.

How can this woman be so terrifying?

Enter the number and name, and Bai Yi's information will appear.

I told her exactly what she said; she did indeed graduate with a master's degree, and she had just graduated in the first half of last year.

He Fen was overjoyed. "Son, you've really struck gold!"

Wang Ye's lips twitched. He wondered if she would still be so happy if he told her how much money Bai Yi owed.

"By the way, have you met her parents?"

Wang Ye had forgotten about this. He shook his head and said, "Never seen it."

"Isn't she a local? You haven't even met her parents?" He Fen began to have doubts again.

Wang Ye said, "We've only been dating for a month, how can it be so fast? I'll just go to her house later."

"Yes, we can't be hasty this time. We must figure it out thoroughly, lest we end up like..."

Wang Ye knew what she was going to say next and interrupted her in time, "Okay, I know, stop talking."

He Fen pursed her lips, but then swallowed the words she was about to say, thinking that it was unlucky to mention the dead during the New Year.

When Qiao Xing returned to her grandfather's house, the two were still watching TV. She asked suspiciously, "Have you eaten?"

The old man said, "You're back so soon?"

"Yes, so have you eaten yet?"

"No," Qin Ce said.

Qiao Xing couldn't help but glance at the TV. Was it really that good? He was so engrossed in watching it that he forgot to eat.

It's just a family-oriented urban drama, what's so good about it?

"Then I'll go cook for you."

Neither of them refused. Qiao Xing picked up an apron and went to the kitchen. Only after she came in did she realize why the two of them hadn't eaten.

Because there are no more ingredients!

Qiao Xing had no choice but to go out to buy groceries again. The market wasn't far away; it was only a ten-minute walk.

After she left, the old man sighed softly, "Your father is afraid I won't live much longer, so he keeps trying to bring me back. Tell me, should I go back or not?"

"It's up to you, of course."

"It's up to me, right? Then I won't go back. I'll wait for him to come. When he finds out your little secret, let's see how you handle it."

Qin Ce twitched the corner of his mouth, then fell silent again.

After a moment of silence, Qin Ce asked, "So you're planning to go back?"

"What else can we do? He's eyeing the shares I have. Xiao Ce, go back and draft a transfer agreement. I'll transfer the shares to you. When I go back, I want to see if he really wants to fulfill his filial duty."

"I don't need it."

"You don't need it?" The old man laughed. "If you don't want it, I'll give it all to your father. Then he'll have absolute power in the company, and let's see what Xiao Yi will have to fight for."

Although that woman also gave birth to Qin's children, the old man never acknowledged those children; in his eyes, there were only these two brothers.

Therefore, he has always held onto his shares tightly.

Not a single thing belonging to the Qin family will be left to outsiders.

That woman was so desperate to climb the social ladder, let's teach her a lesson about what it means to end up with nothing.

But clearly, Qin Yi is not capable enough to handle this matter; only Qin Ce can do it.

These past few days, the old man has observed Qin Yi thoroughly. That kid doesn't seem like someone who's willing to fight for these things; he seems to be somewhat complacent and easygoing.

If he gives the shares to Qin Yi, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold onto them, and there's a real risk to his life.

After much deliberation, the old man decided that the only option was to give it to Qin Ce.

Qin Ce had promised Qiao Yi that he would help Qin Yi establish himself in the Qin family, and now that the old man had entrusted him with such a difficult task, he was actually quite resistant.

How much are your shares worth?

The old man scoffed, "How much is it worth? It could easily buy your current company."

Qin Ce: "..."

His company is now worth over 60 billion, and the old man can so easily say he can buy it; it must be worth even more.

Qin Ce said, "If I sell your shares, can I double the size of my company?"

Upon hearing this, the old man grabbed his cane and struck Qin Ce hard on the head.

"hiss--"

Qin Ce raised his hand to block, and the old man's cane struck his arm. The old man was really using force, and Qin Ce gasped in pain.

"You little brat! All you do is annoy me all day long. If I ever die, it'll be because of you!"
