Chapter 396 Staying at Home and Not Working

Mr. Liao's smile froze for a moment, then he nodded, "Okay, I'll send it to you when I get to work this afternoon."

Qiao Xing turned and left the office. When she returned to her department, her colleagues had all gone out for dinner. Bai Yi was also about to leave when she met her at the door and asked, "What did President Liao want to talk to you about?"

"What else could it be?" Qiao Xing sighed dejectedly.

Seeing her like this, Bai Yi immediately understood. She patted Qiao Xing's shoulder sympathetically, "Don't worry, go eat. As long as you make your stance clear, he won't do anything to you."

After all, President Liao didn't want to force her away; he was probably testing Qiao Xing's bottom line just now.

The two grabbed a quick bite near the company, and when they got back, Mr. Liao indeed sent her C&C Business's contact information.

Qiao Xing first added the other party on WeChat, and she saved the contact as a Weisheng employee, but the other party did not respond.

After waiting a while, she made another call.

A woman answered, "Hello, who is this?"

"Hello Manager Chen, this is Weisheng..."

Before Qiao Xing could finish speaking, the other party impatiently interrupted her, "It's you guys again! How many times have I told you? It needs to be reviewed! Do you know how many games we review every day? It's not just you guys, there's no way it's that fast!"

Qiao Xing finally understood why President Liao had entrusted this matter to her.

She tentatively asked, "May I ask how long the review process usually takes? It's been taken down for several months now."

"Can't you understand what I'm saying? You know it's going to be taken down. If you knew it would be taken down, why did you do this and add so much work for us? And you still have the nerve to call and urge us to stop?"

The second half of the sentence, "So what if we don't put it on the shelves?", was not said.

However, she put it another way, "If it weren't for our cooperative relationship, we would have taken all of them off the shelves long ago."

The other party was very impolite, but after talking for a long time, they still couldn't give a specific time.

"Stop calling me. We'll let you know when it will be available." With that, the other party hung up the phone.

Qiao Xing looked at the phone that had been hung up, without much surprise.

If it were easy, Mr. Liao would have handled it himself; why would he need to hand it over to her?

If nothing unexpected happens, President Liao must have also contacted Qin Ce.

Qiao Xing was right. President Liao had approached Qin Ce several times, but Qin Ce had always told him to handle the business himself and that he wouldn't get involved.

As for business, judging from Manager Chen's attitude just now, it seems that more than one employee has approached her.

Qiao Xing was thinking of another way.

When it was time to leave work, Qiao Xing wanted to go, but thinking that Qin Ce might be swaggering around the company entrance again, she sat back down and waited until they left before getting off.

"Qiao Xing, aren't you leaving yet?" Bai Yi asked as he walked over.

"Oh, I'll go down later, you can go first."

"Okay, I'll go now." She still needed to find Wang Ye.

Qiao Xing waited for another twenty minutes, and only when she saw that there were hardly any people left in the company did she get up and go downstairs.

Sure enough, Qin Ce was waiting for her at the company entrance, but he was in his car and didn't get out.

Qiao Xing walked over, opened the car door, and got in. Qin Ce asked, "Are we going to driving school tomorrow?"

"ah?"

"I told you last time to take the driving test, so go register tomorrow."

Qiao Xing picked up her phone and glanced at the date. Tomorrow was Sunday. Due to the work schedule adjustment this week, there was only one day off.

"How about next week? We have a three-day holiday for Qingming Festival next week."

Qin Ce glanced at her. "Whatever."

After saying that, he drove the car away.

The two went to the market to buy groceries, went back to cook, and after dinner, Qin Ce did not go to the study, but sat on the sofa with Qiao Xing.

Qiao Xing felt that he was acting a bit strangely, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Qin Ce asked her, "Want to go out for a walk? Or, go see a movie?"

Now?

"Tomorrow is fine too."

Qiao Xing scratched her head. She didn't really want to go out and didn't want to move once she sat down.

"What about tomorrow?"

Qin Ce nodded. "Okay."

At this point, an awkward atmosphere spread between the two of them again.

The sound of the cartoon playing on the TV seemed very abrupt.

After a moment, Qiao Xing tentatively asked, "Aren't you going to the study to work overtime?"

"Stay at home and don't work."

Qiao Xing rubbed the tip of his nose, unsure of what to say; this was unlike him.

After a while, Qin Ce said again, "Shall I play games with you?"

Qiao Xing had no idea what he was up to, so she nodded awkwardly, "Okay, okay."

So the two of them took out their phones, opened the game, teamed up, and started playing.

Having learned from his previous experience, this time he chose a normal support role, um, a healer support named Qiao Xing.

Qiao Xing looked at the little loli following him in the game, and then glanced at the man beside him out of the corner of his eye. He really couldn't connect such a serious person with this cute little character in the game.

Especially when Qin Ce was chasing after her to give her more milk, Qiao Xing's toes were all curled up.

It's clear he really wanted to protect her. Besides wearing a bunch of protective gear and tanky outfits, he always rushed ahead of Qiao Xing, and the result was always one of them dying and the other being sent to their deaths. Every time, the two of them ended up lying together.

They naturally lost this game.

Qiao Xing tried to suggest to him, "You can play whatever you like, you don't need to support me."

"I like playing support."

He spoke with such seriousness that even he himself didn't believe him, let alone Qiao Xing.

Qiao Xing gritted her teeth and played two more rounds with him. He was addicted to playing the healer, and the healer always followed her. She lost two out of three rounds.

In the fourth game, Qiao Xing, frustrated, took his healer's spot and then chose Sun Bin as his support. When his teammates saw the two supports going to the same lane, they started cursing even before the game started.

After losing this game, Qiao Xing didn't want to play anymore.

"I'm a little sleepy."

Qin Ce glanced at the time; it was 10:30. He grunted in response.

Qiao Xing quickly went inside to get her clothes, took a shower, and then promptly went to bed.

Qin Ce didn't come in, and no one knew what he was doing outside. Qiao Xing watched some videos and then went to sleep.

The next morning, Qiao Xing was startled awake by her alarm clock. She opened her eyes wide, glanced to the side, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief; he hadn't gone to cook.

She quietly turned off the alarm clock and was just about to go downstairs when suddenly her waist tightened.

Where are you going?

Qiao Xing turned around and found that he was also awake, staring straight at him.

"I'll go cook."

Qin Ce frowned: "Making breakfast so early, is there something going on today?"

Qiao Xing was about to say "go to work" when she suddenly remembered that today seemed to be the weekend.

"It's...nothing much." Qiao Xing lay back down. "Then let's do it later."

Qin Ce stared at her thoughtfully, glancing at her phone. "Your alarm is coming earlier and earlier."

"It's good to get up early; it's good for your health when you get up early."

"I've only ever heard that going to bed early and waking up early is good for your health, but you don't seem to go to bed early either."

Qiao Xing choked for a moment, unable to find the words to answer him.
