Chapter 433 If she weren't stupid

After returning home, Qiao Xing lay on the sofa playing with her phone, and she came across Yang Han's WeChat.

She wanted to ask Yang Han for Xiao Lin's contact information, but then she changed her mind.

Just then, a message popped up from Qin Ce: "Arrived home?"

Qiao Xing opened his message and replied with an "Mm".

Qin Ce keenly sensed something was wrong from her "hmm" sound, and immediately sent her another message: What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?

Upon seeing these two lines of concerned words, Qiao Xing couldn't resist making a voice call to him.

A few seconds later, the call connected, and his familiar voice came from the other end, "What's wrong?"

It feels like it's been a long time since I've heard his voice, and at first listen, it still has a kind of alluring sexiness.

"Why didn't you call me?" Qiao Xing asked.

Qin Ce paused for two seconds, "What's the difference between making a phone call and sending a message?"

This question truly stumped Qiao Xing, as it seemed there really was no difference.

"Is this what's making you unhappy?"

Qiao Xing snapped out of her daze and quickly said, "No, it's about that thing you said Xiao Lin was going to make some kind of software, right?"

"Hmm, and then what?"

Qiao Xing then told him the whole story, and then said dejectedly, "The main problem is that I don't understand what He Yu means, and I don't have any evidence. If I go to Xiao Lin rashly, won't she think I'm making a fuss?"

Qin Ce said, "A person who can be an assistant must be capable. If you go to her without understanding the situation, it will make things difficult for Xiao Lin."

"Yes, that's what I was thinking. Even if He Yu really did take kickbacks, would Xiao Lin know? After all, He Yu was taking money from the partner company, and it didn't cause any loss to Li Ya."

As long as she has the ability and can bring greater benefits to the company, sometimes leaders will turn a blind eye, right?

"That depends on how much she's going to take. If she takes too much, then she's just raising a tiger to cause trouble. You can wait and see. I believe she won't be that stupid."

"What's the meaning?"

"You went directly to Xiao Lin, right? He Yu should have known that you knew Xiao Lin, otherwise she wouldn't have done that, because you could go to Xiao Lin at any time, which would be a loss for her."

Qin Ce's words reminded Qiao Xing that He Yu was indeed deliberately delaying the payment because she had lost face by not sleeping with Shen Boyan.

"You're right, then I'll wait?"

"If you can't wait, go find Xiao Lin, she'll solve it for you."

Qiao Xing said, "If I go to Xiao Lin, won't He Yu look even worse? If she makes things difficult for me over trivial matters, am I supposed to go to Xiao Lin every time?"

Let's not even talk about whether He Yu will be afraid to do it just because she knows Xiao Lin. If it's just some small thing, Xiao Lin will get annoyed if she keeps going to see Xiao Lin. Besides, Xiao Lin is unlikely to fire He Yu for such trivial matters.

It might even make Xiao Lin think that she is incompetent and is just using Qin Ce's relationship to bother her all the time. She might not say anything on the surface, but her impression of her will definitely be greatly diminished.

After all, she and Xiao Lin didn't have much of a relationship.

"Today is the 24th. Didn't she say she would make the payment on the 1st? If she doesn't make the payment on the 1st, you can go find Xiao Lin. But I guess she will only dare to drag it out until the 1st at most."

"Really?"

"Well, if she's not stupid."

Qiao Xing curled her lip, "If she were stupid, would she have become Xiao Lin's assistant?"

That's it.

After hearing Qin Ce's words, Qiao Xing felt much better. She then asked, "When are you coming back?"

"ASAP."

It's that same line again: "Okay, then you should get some rest."

Okay, good night.

Qiao Xing hung up the phone. She hadn't eaten lunch because she was feeling down that afternoon, but suddenly felt hungry and went to the kitchen to cook herself a bowl of noodles.

Shen Boyan went to find He Yu; we'll find out what He Yu meant tomorrow.

The next morning, Qiao Xing arrived at the company early.

Seeing that only Tao Yang was in the living room, she was a little suspicious. "Tao Yang, Shen Boyan didn't come back last night, did he?"

"I'm back. I'm sleeping upstairs." Tao Yang seemed to be in a bad mood, even his typing was listless.

When did he get back?

"I think it was late last night, and I was drunk again."

Qiao Xing frowned. She walked to her seat, put down her bag, and noticed that Sun Miao's computer was missing from her seat.

Then he asked, "Where is Sun Miao?"

"Her father had surgery and went home. He probably won't be back for a few days."

"Oh." Qiao Xing put the breakfast on the table. "Then you can have her breakfast."

"I have no appetite." Tao Yang was listless, as disappointed as he had been happy before.

The problem is, we celebrated too early, had that big meal, and spent all our money. How could we not be upset?

Qiao Xing wasn't upset; she still turned on her computer with high spirits and started writing the game she had worked on before.

It was nearly noon when Shen Boyan finally staggered downstairs.

Hearing footsteps, Qiao Xing turned around.

His hair was messy, and his T-shirt was wrinkled; it was obvious he was sleeping in his clothes.

Shen Boyan went to the restroom to wash up. After he sat down at the dining table, Qiao Xing ran over to ask him, "How did your chat go last night?"

He picked through the items on the table, chose an egg pancake, took two bites, and said, "It's not very good."

"What do you mean by 'not good'?"

"She asked me to take her home, so I dropped her off at the entrance of her residential complex and left."

The meaning was clear: He Yu meant escorting him home, but Shen Boyan didn't go upstairs.

"Do you still think she's not interested in you?"

Shen Boyan glanced at her and said, "Whether she's interesting or not, I don't even like her."

Qiao Xing opened her mouth in surprise, "Then what kind of person would you be interested in?"

He Yu is a few years older than him, not bad-looking, and rich, yet he so contemptuously says he looks down on her, as if she's something that's beneath him.

"Anyway, it's not like her."

"Hey, maybe they just want to sleep with you, not necessarily date you."

"Sleep without feeling."

"……Good."

It was rare to hear such a phrase from a man, which reminded her of Qin Ce, who seemed to have said something similar before.

"But you rejected her again, didn't that make her even angrier?"

"Whatever." Shen Boyan finished the egg pancake in a few bites, then picked up a cup of soy milk and drank it.

He was so calm, so calm that he didn't seem like a heavily indebted entrepreneur.

"If she calls you to go outside, will you still go?"

"I'm not going."

He offered to return 400,000 yuan to He Yu last night, but she refused and insisted that he take her home.

He would rather give He Yu 400,000 yuan than sleep with her.

Qiao Xing could tell that he was indeed a very proud person.

However, judging from this trend, Qin Ce's analysis makes sense. He Yu doesn't want a kickback; she simply wants to sleep with Shen Boyan.

Sigh, Qiao Xing looked Shen Boyan up and down, wondering what was so attractive about him to He Yu.
