Chapter 395 I almost got tricked by him

Qiao Xing sighed and sat quietly in the car. Because of the alcohol, the car was swaying, and she felt a little sleepy.

I drifted off to sleep without even realizing it.

Qin Ce carried her back. She could feel it, but she was too sleepy to open her eyes.

The next day, Qiao Xing was woken up by the alarm clock. She rubbed her eyes, got up, and saw that Qin Ce was no longer in bed.

She went out of the bedroom and, sure enough, saw that he had prepared breakfast.

He was wearing a black shirt and was busy in the restaurant, which made Qiao Xing feel a little guilty.

"You're up? Go wash up and eat."

She went to the bathroom, and before washing up, she set her alarm for 5 a.m. for tomorrow, not believing he could get up that early to cook.

After breakfast, Qin Ce drove her to the company as usual. Today, he kept a low profile and drove his old BMW.

As soon as she arrived at the company, an acquaintance pulled her aside and asked, "Was the man who picked you up in a Maserati at the company gate yesterday your husband?"

"Is this the same person who drove the BMW today?"

"Why aren't you driving your Maserati today?"

"What does your husband do? Is he that rich? And so handsome too."

These are the questions Qiao Xing was asked along the way.

Qiao Xing finally managed to escape to her department, but Lin Shuang came up to her again and asked mysteriously, "Has your husband revealed his true identity to you? He's so high-profile about it."

Qiao Xing was taken aback. "You knew all along too?"

Lin Shuang pursed her lips and said, "Of course, he's Zhang Zhe's boss, isn't it normal for me to know?"

Seeing that Qiao Xing's expression was somewhat unpleasant, Lin Shuang explained again, "Don't blame me, I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just didn't dare to tell you, you know that."

Qiao Xing forced a smile. "I know."

Since it's all in the past, there's no need for her to dwell on it anymore.

As the two were chatting, Zhao Yan came over and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Lin Shuang said, "They're talking about her husband, haven't you met him before?"

Zhao Yan thought for a moment and nodded, "Oh, I remember now, I saw her at the hospital before. When I came here just now, I heard people talking about how one of our female colleagues has a husband who is incredibly handsome and very rich. That must be Sister Qiao Xing, right?"

Lin Shuang gave her an admiring look, "It's him! Look how lucky Qiao Xing is. She found a rich and handsome man, and she won't have to worry for the rest of her life."

Zhao Yan chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, so many people are so envious."

There's no shortage of rich people in the world, but it's rare to find someone who's both rich and handsome. And the probability of an ordinary person meeting them and getting married is about the same as winning the lottery.

If a man is not only handsome and rich but has never been in a relationship, the probability of meeting him is about the same as a planet colliding with Earth, right?

Lin Shuang also felt that this had become a myth.

Once they uncover Qin Ce's identity, Qiao Xing will probably become the focus of the entire company, and Lin's eyes also revealed a look of envy.

Hearing their discussion, Qiao Xing became even more determined to quit her job.

Bai Yi walked in and said, "Don't you guys have anything to do?"

Only after she spoke did her colleague shut up and go back to work.

Qiao Xing breathed a sigh of relief and opened WeChat. President Liao sent her another message, asking her to contact the people at C&S.

Qiao Xing typed for him to send the other party's business contact information, but General Manager Liao told her to go directly to Qin Ce.

Seeing his matter-of-fact words, Qiao Xing felt a little resentful and didn't want to go to Qin Ce.

She preferred to keep work matters and personal relationships separate, otherwise, this would eventually affect her normal relationship with Qin Ce.

Furthermore, she privately believed that Wei Sheng was not worth wasting her feelings for Qin Ce.

Thinking about this, Qiao Xing decided to make things clear with President Liao. She typed out a long string of words and sent it over.

Mr. Liao did not reply.

Just before she was about to leave work, General Manager Liao sent her a message asking her to come to his office.

Qiao Xing was a little annoyed, but he still got up and went to find President Liao.

Upon knocking on the office door, General Manager Liao warmly invited her to sit down and even personally poured her tea.

Qiao Xing said, "Mr. Liao, did you call me here about the game's release?"

Mr. Liao glanced at her and laughed, "No, I called you here just to chat with you, relax, and not be so nervous."

"What should we talk about?"

Mr. Liao said, "We're just chatting casually. I've thought about what you just said carefully. Since you've come to our company, it's fate. I'm someone who respects the opinions of my employees."

"Sometimes, work and private life shouldn't be mixed up, but sometimes it depends on the situation. Whether it's doing business or making friends, if you separate them too clearly, no one will want to hang out with you."

"You know, when we go out to socialize and meet with clients every day, what are we really talking about? Aren't we just talking about relationships and sales techniques? Most relationships in this world are built on the basis of being useful. If a relationship loses its value, then it has no reason to exist."

"Think about your classmates, right? You had such a good relationship in school, but after graduation, didn't you lose contact with them?"

"And what about your relatives and friends? When there's nothing they can gain from you, they don't even recognize you. Isn't that right?"

Qiao Xing listened quietly as he went on and on, seemingly trying to brainwash her, all he wanted to do was convince her to make good use of Qin Ce's relationship.

With only two minutes left before the end of the workday, General Manager Liao was still talking.

"Mr. Liao, it seems like it's time to leave work."

Mr. Liao paused, then chuckled twice. "I've said a bit too much. We were just having a normal chat, and I got carried away and ended up saying so much."

"I was just saying. Since you think we should handle this officially, then I'll leave this matter to you. No matter how you do it, just get it done properly for me. Is that alright?"

Qiao Xing nodded. "I'll try my best."

"Qiao Xing, you are a company employee, so you have to work for the company and complete the tasks assigned by your superiors. It's your duty, no matter where you are. So, no matter what method you use, I only care about the results, understand?"

Mr. Liao's meaning was quite clear: do whatever you want, as long as you get it done.

If she can't even do this job well, even if she resigns, it will be the same at other companies. Even if no one at other companies knows about her relationship with Qin Ce, she will still have to complete the tasks assigned to her.

Qiao Xing found Liao's words interesting. If it were another company, they wouldn't have assigned her those impossible tasks if they didn't know about her relationship with Qin Ce.

Liao's words sounded like a compromise, but Qiao Xing was certain that the work assigned to her afterward would be beyond the capabilities of a low-level employee like herself.

It must be accomplished, so what can be done? The only option is to seek help from Qin Ce.

Sure enough, speaking is an art, and Qiao Xing almost got caught up in it.

Qiao Xing stood up and said, "I understand, President Liao. I will do my best to complete the work. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now. Remember to send me C&S Business's contact information later."
