Chapter 356 Come Work for Me

Qiao Xing paused, turned around, and saw Yang Han standing behind her, smiling, carrying large and small bags.

As the saying goes, one shouldn't hit a smiling face. It wasn't some deep-seated hatred, so Qiao Xing couldn't really break off relations with him.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Xing asked.

Yang Han said, "Are you guys going shopping? Want to come along?"

Qiao Xing didn't really want to be with him. She glanced at Bai Yi beside her, seeking his opinion.

Xiao Lin suddenly spoke up, "Let's go together, we're all familiar with each other, and I've never been here before."

Qiao Xing couldn't refuse Xiao Lin's offer. She remained silent for a while before reluctantly nodding, "Okay."

Yang Han breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she agreed. He smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I was indeed wrong about this. How about this, you can buy whatever you want tonight, and I'll pay for it as an apology."

"No need, we're just browsing, we don't plan to buy anything."

"If you're not busy, just browse around and buy whatever you like," Yang Han said nonchalantly. "You guys keep browsing, I'll go put the things away."

Xiao Lin bought so many bags to help those two get revenge, and he found them cumbersome to carry.

However, he didn't give the things he bought to Qiao Xing. He knew Qiao Xing a little bit; she would not only refuse to accept them, but would also be even angrier.

So they didn't mention it.

After Yang Han left, Xiao Lin took the initiative to extend her hand to greet Qiao Xing, "Hello, we've met several times, but I haven't formally introduced myself yet. My name is Xiao Lin, and I'm Yang Han's... wife."

Qiao Xing quickly extended his hand and shook hers. "Hello, my name is Qiao Xing."

Bai Yi shook her hand. "Bai Yi."

Xiao Lin nodded slightly, then looked around, "Did you just arrive?"

Qiao Xing said, "I've been here for a while, but this place is really big. I've been walking around for so long and I still haven't finished."

Xiao Lin smiled slightly, "I just arrived. If you don't mind, let's just stroll around for a bit."

She doesn't really like shopping malls because they're boring.

Because of Xue Ling's situation, Xiao Lin felt guilty towards Qin Ce and the others, and therefore wanted to do something to make amends.

That's why I came here with Yang Han.

Yang Han wanted her to persuade Qiao Xing, but they weren't close, and offering advice rashly would only damage their relationship.

So let's start by being friends.

Yang Han went out to put something away and never came back. The three of them were just wandering around the mall aimlessly.

After shopping for more than an hour without buying anything, Xiao Lin saw that the two of them were too tired to walk any further, so she suggested that they go to a coffee shop to sit down.

The three of them sat together in an awkward situation because they couldn't find anything to talk about.

Bai Yi took the initiative to lighten the mood, "Miss Xiao, do you not usually go out much?"

Xiao Lin nodded, "Yes, because I'm quite busy with work, I rarely go out to play."

What do you do for a living?

"You know what a beauty salon is, right?"

Bai Yi nodded, somewhat surprised, "I know, I didn't expect Miss Xiao to be in this line of work."

Xiao Lin looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Is there a problem with this job?"

Bai Yi explained, "No, because I've been researching this recently, and I'm thinking about quitting my job to go to a beauty salon to learn more."

"I see."

The two chatted casually. Bai Yi had indeed been researching this topic beforehand, which made it easier for her to have common ground with Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin's job isn't just working at a beauty salon; she owns a chain of stores. This is just one of her family's businesses, which used to be run by Xiao Lin's mother and was later given to Xiao Lin as part of her dowry.

So Xiao Lin now runs the company on her own. She says that her family's chain stores have already opened more than a dozen stores across the country and are still expanding.

Bai Yi chose this industry because women's money is easy to earn, especially in the area of ​​beauty.

As they chatted, Xiao Lin even tried to get Bai Yi to join the franchise, but the franchise fee was over a million yuan, which Bai Yi couldn't afford.

Xiao Lin then suggested, "If you're really interested, you can come work for me and learn first. If I expand the store later, I can arrange for you to be the store manager."

"Then thank you in advance, Miss Xiao."

This was a rare opportunity for Bai Yi, so how could she refuse?

Instead of working at a beauty salon herself, she had existing connections, so why wouldn't she use them?

Xiao Lin said this not simply to curry favor, but because she could tell from Bai Yi's conversation that he was capable.

Since she had this ability, she might as well go with the flow and save herself the trouble of choosing a store manager later, since Bai Yi knew her well.

Qiao Xing stood by as a backdrop, having already refilled her coffee twice. After finishing it, she realized she might not be able to sleep tonight.

Seeing that it was almost time, Xiao Lin took out a business card from her bag and handed it to Bai Yi. Then she stood up and said, "It's getting late, let's go back. You should also go back and get some rest."

Qiao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

The three of them walked out of the mall together and saw Yang Han making a phone call on the roadside. After saying goodbye to them, Xiao Lin went to find Yang Han.

Qiao Xing and Bai Yi got into a taxi parked by the roadside.

"Team Leader Bai, are you going to resign?" Qiao Xing asked.

She could also tell that Bai Yi wanted to work for Xiao Lin.

Bai Yi rubbed his temples. "I'm considering it, but let's see how it goes."

Qiao Xing nodded. "This is a good opportunity."

Bai Yi glanced at her, then smiled.

She was still fortunate to have Qiao Xing; otherwise, she wouldn't have had this opportunity. Of course, Bai Yi didn't say this, lest Qiao Xing feel awkward again.

She and Qin Ce haven't made up yet.

After walking around for half a day, Qiao Xing was indeed tired.

Back at the hotel, she collapsed onto the bed, exhausted. Despite her fatigue, the two cups of coffee kept her awake.

She lay on the bed playing on her phone until three or four in the morning before she finally drifted off to sleep.

The next day, Bai Yi knocked on the door. Qiao Xing rubbed her swollen eyes and got up to wash.

Qiao Xing was going to meet a client today, so she tidied herself up a bit; she couldn't dress too shabbily.

The client's company is not far from the hotel; it only takes half an hour by taxi.

The two followed General Manager Liao to Qisheng Company, where the receptionist personally led them to the conference room.

However, the person who came to greet them was not the company's boss, but the person in charge of the project.

"Mr. Liao, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting."

A middle-aged man in his forties walked in with a smile, and President Liao extended his hand to shake his hand, saying, "President Jiang, it's great to finally meet you."

"Please come in and have a seat." President Jiang also brought an assistant, who was carrying a pile of documents.

Mr. Jiang had his assistant give the documents to the three of them and then started chatting with Mr. Liao.
