Chapter 392 A World Where People Treat Each Other Differently

"Yes, you'll see when you get off work. He's doing a pretty good job of it."

Bai Yi wore a smile of approval, showing that she didn't dislike Wang Ye's behavior; on the contrary, she supported him.

Qiao Xing was also very pleased with this.

The two arrived at the office, where Zhao Yan happily greeted Qiao Xing.

"Sister Qiao Xing, you're finally back."

Qiao Xing nodded. "Yes, how's work?"

"It went very smoothly. While you were away, I asked Team Leader Bai if I had any questions, and she patiently answered them for me. By the way, I've already handed over the work you assigned me last time to Team Leader Bai."

Bai Yi explained from the side, "I thought you wouldn't be back for a month, so I delegated all your work. It should be almost done by now. You should start working on the C&S project first; it's a very important project there too."

"I understand. So now I guess I have nothing else to do besides liaising with C&S?"

"If there is any, I will arrange it for you, don't worry."

Bai Yi saw right through her thoughts. Qiao Xing was worried because, because of her relationship with Qin Ce, neither Bai Yi nor President Liao would assign her any work, leaving her to just coast along in the company.

As long as the C&S connection is handled well, that will be her greatest contribution to Weisheng.

Qiao Xing didn't like this feeling.

"Okay, I understand."

Zhao Yan's gaze darted between the two, seemingly not understanding the cryptic conversation they were exchanging.

Bai Yi told the two to go back to work. She opened the WeChat group, but there was still hardly anyone talking; most people were just sending files.

Clearly, they were discussing things face-to-face in the office before sending these documents. Qiao Xing couldn't hear what he was saying, so he could only infer what they talked about from these documents.

She endured until lunchtime, when Zhao Yan went out to buy lunch and brought some back for her as well.

To be honest, Zhao Yan's attentiveness made Qiao Xing feel embarrassed, despite what Bai Yi had said before.

Zhao Yan is very self-aware and knows how to handle things. Her willingness to bring things for everyone is completely different from running errands for others.

Those colleagues who were previously reluctant to mentor her are now willing to help her whenever she asks for a favor.

Qiao Xing clearly observed in one morning that Zhao Yan and her colleagues were getting along very well.

The landline next to him rang, and Qiao Xing quickly answered the phone.

"Qiao Xing, President Liao would like to see you in his office." It was the voice of President Liao's assistant, and Qiao Xing's heart skipped a beat.

It's lunch break now, and Mr. Liao suddenly called me, probably because of that matter in Haishi.

Qiao Xing hung up the phone, got up and went to her office. She knocked on the office door and went in.

When Mr. Liao saw her, his face beamed with smiles: "Ms. Qiao, please have a seat. You must be tired from your business trip."

Upon hearing this form of address, Qiao Xing awkwardly walked to the sofa and sat down, forcing a smile. "President Liao, is there anything I can do for you?"

"During my last business trip, some unpleasant things happened. It was my oversight; as a leader, I failed to take good care of my employees, and I should apologize to you."

"Mr. Liao, you're too kind. This is my own fault and has nothing to do with you."

"I value my employees the most, and I'm already very happy that you joined our company. We failed to take good care of you this time, and you suffered; I feel terrible about it," said General Manager Liao, looking pained. "If there's anything you need compensation for, just say so, and the company will definitely meet your needs."

Qiao Xing quickly said, "No, no, there's really no need for that. I didn't suffer any loss, you don't need to blame yourself."

Mr. Liao chuckled twice more, "Compensation is still necessary; after all, it's a work-related injury. You don't need to worry about this anymore; I'll arrange it myself. However..."

President Liao then changed the subject, "As for President Qin, we'll still need you to put in a good word for him in the future, haha..."

Qiao Xing's lips twitched slightly. So the apology was fake; his real intention was to curry favor with Qin Ce.

Since President Liao specifically asked her to come, Qiao Xing couldn't refuse directly. She smiled and said, "If there's an opportunity, I'll mention Weisheng's project to him."

Mr. Liao smiled even more broadly, "I'm relieved to hear you say that."

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back to work now."

"Okay, but you still need to take care of your health. You just came back from Haishi, so you need to rest and adjust your condition. Work can't be rushed; the more you rush, the worse you'll do."

Qiao Xing thought to himself, "He didn't say that before."

Indeed, this world is one where people are treated differently depending on their status.

Qiao Xing got up to say goodbye and walked out of the office, letting out a frustrated sigh.

There wasn't much to do at the company in the afternoon, and Bai Yi didn't assign her any work. Everyone else was busy, but she was just sitting there slacking off, practically wearing the words "nepotism" on her face.

Qiao Xing couldn't help but send Bai Yi a message: Don't you have any other work to do for me?

Bai Yi: Not for now. The work has been assigned to others. You'll have to wait a little longer.

Qiao Xing: Anything is fine, just don't leave me sitting here doing nothing. Look, Zhao Yan has something to do, it's not good for me to just sit here doing nothing, is it?

Bai Yi: Wait a minute, Mr. Liao will arrange a job for you.

Qiao Xing: ?

Bai Yi didn't reply to her again. What did she mean by "General Manager Liao will arrange work"?

As expected, near the end of the workday, General Manager Liao added her on WeChat and assigned her a job.

Previously, due to issues with Wu Yun's project proposal, the company's games were removed from the C&S channel. C&S's channel is mainly overseas and has a large market. Several games have not been relisted since they were removed, resulting in significant losses.

Mr. Liao asked her to negotiate with C&S's business department to get those games back on the shelves.

The first thing Qiao Xing thought of when she received this task was to resign; she simply couldn't stay at this company any longer.

It's almost predictable that all her work afterward will likely involve negotiating with C&S. Right now, it's about getting the game released, but what's next?

Does this mean that for every project that can't be negotiated, she'll have to go to Qin Ce? Whether it's good or bad, she has to follow the company's arrangements.

Using public office for private gain.

Qiao Xing didn't refuse him outright, but agreed to ask.

Ignoring any further replies from Mr. Liao, she shut down her computer and left work immediately.

Bai Yi called out to her, "Weren't you going to find Wang Ye? Why are you walking so fast?"

Qiao Xing nodded absentmindedly, her mind preoccupied with resigning. "Has he set up his stall yet?"

"Not now, but it should be about the same when we get there. Let's go together."

Bai Yi, carrying her bag, walked beside her. Noticing something on her face, Bai Yi asked, "What's wrong? You look troubled."

"General Manager Liao asked me to contact C&S's business team to get the previously removed game back on the shelves."

Bai Yi smiled and said, "As expected of a capitalist, he doesn't let go of any relationship that can be exploited."
