After the Betrothal Gift Negotiation Failed, I Turned and Married the Tycoon

Due to issues with the betrothal gift, Qiao Xing's two-year relationship with her boyfriend collapsed overnight. Feeling disheartened, her elderly neighbor insisted his grandson go on a blind d...

Chapter 856 He called me

Qiao Xing was worried that Shen Boyan would be concerned that she wouldn't be able to finish the remaining work, so she said to him, "Don't worry, I can work on the computer at home just the same, it won't delay anything."

Shen Boyan didn't say anything, but simply replied, "It's alright. Just do what you can and don't push yourself too hard."

After exchanging a few more words, Shen Boyan hung up the phone.

Tao Yang came to find Shen Boyan and happened to overhear him making a phone call to Qiao Xing.

"Qiao Xing isn't coming again?"

Shen Boyan nodded.

Tao Yang sighed, "Although she doesn't have to come to the company every day from nine to five because of her current situation, there's a lot going on these days, and we really can't do without her."

"She's mainly in charge of copywriting and dialogue now, so she doesn't have to come to the company. I can handle any other issues."

"You?" Tao Yang's eyes widened. "Don't you have enough on your plate? Just finding investors should be enough to give you a headache, right?"

Qiao Xing hasn't been at the company for the past two days. Apart from Shen Boyan and Tao Yang, no one knows that the company actually doesn't have much money left.

There's absolutely no hope left for Jing Feng. Given the company's current situation, the longer it drags on, the more detrimental it will be to the project.

It could even prevent the game from going live.

"You should focus on doing your job well. Don't worry about the investment; I'll figure something out."

Tao Yang said helplessly, "Bo Yan, I know you don't want us to be bothered by this, but we really can't delay any longer."

He hesitated, then said to Shen Boyan, "If all else fails, you could talk to Qiao Xing's husband, he..."

"no!"

Before Tao Yang could finish speaking, Shen Boyan interrupted him.

Tao Yang had brought this up twice before, but Shen Boyan refused without a second thought each time.

Tao Yang hadn't asked before, but now he couldn't help but say, "No, we'll have to find investors eventually anyway. Wouldn't it be more reassuring to have someone we know well? Besides, Qin Ce isn't short of money, and Qiao Xing is a shareholder of the company. Qin Ce will definitely be willing to invest."

“I said no, and that means no,” Shen Boyan said solemnly.

Tao Yang looked completely puzzled. "Why?"

Given the company's current situation, Qin Ce seems to be the most suitable investor.

Moreover, given their relationship with Qiao Xing, Qin Ce would almost certainly agree if Qiao Xing asked.

But Shen Boyan refused to comply and wouldn't tell him why, which Tao Yang simply couldn't understand.

"I'll handle this, don't worry about it," Shen Boyan said calmly.

Tao Yang sighed inwardly. He couldn't reason with him, so he could only let him be.

He turned to leave, but then suddenly remembered something and turned back to look at Shen Boyan.

"Boyan, you don't want to go find Qin Ce, could it be because of Qiao Xing?"

Shen Boyan's fingers, which were typing on the keyboard, suddenly stopped.

His expression was inscrutable. After a moment of silence, he replied to Tao Yang, "No."

Tao Yang asked skeptically, "Really?"

Shen Boyan raised his head and looked at Tao Yang without saying a word.

Tao Yang knew that if he asked any more questions, he would get angry, so he simply stopped asking.

As he turned to leave, he muttered to himself, "I thought you liked Qiao Xing and saw Qin Ce as a rival, which is why you didn't want to ask him for help."

Shen Boyan heard these words, but he pretended not to hear them, as if he was deliberately avoiding his own thoughts.

Tao Yang said it, but thinking about it, he realized it was impossible.

If Shen Boyan was truly sensitive about this matter because he liked Qiao Xing, then why did he agree to Qin Ce's request to dub the character?

Wouldn't that make things even more contradictory?

But if that's not the case, how do you explain Shen Boyan's attitude?

Could it be that something unknown happened between him and Qin Ce?

After Tao Yang left, Shen Boyan stared at the computer for a long time, then suddenly didn't know what to do.

Tao Yang is right. Given the company's current situation, it really can't delay any longer.

Shen Boyan pondered for a long time before finally making a decision in his heart.

He took out his phone and found the number he had saved in his phone but had never called.

He didn't even save the number himself; someone took his phone and saved it without his consent.

Finally, he added, "It's just a number, it won't affect you. Maybe one day you'll really want to contact me, and having a phone number will make things much more convenient."

Shen Boyan stared at the number for a long time before finally dialing it.

Since being rejected by Shen Boyan last time, Sheng Yao has never given up. She goes to see Shen Boyan almost every day, but every time Shen Boyan either tells her to go back or says something like "no need" or "no need".

Sheng Yao felt like she was one of those people who went out on the street to hand out flyers and try hard to introduce business because they had no business.

She couldn't even understand how there could actually be people in the world who were unwilling to accept the kindness of others.

Sometimes she really wanted to crack open Shen Boyan's head and see what was inside.

The young lady got so depressed from thinking about it that she didn't even want to leave the house for the past two days.

My uncle and aunt took turns trying to persuade me, but it was no use.

The uncle thought that Shen Boyan had bullied Sheng Yao and wanted to teach this ungrateful brat a lesson on Sheng Yao's behalf.

Fortunately, my aunt stopped her.

Although Sheng Yao was depressed, she wasn't about to do anything crazy.

Auntie was thinking of taking Sheng Yao out for a walk to relax and have some fun for a couple of days, hoping it might cheer her up.

As she was discussing with her uncle where to go, a scream suddenly came from upstairs.

That clearly belongs to Sheng Yao.

The uncle and aunt were startled and were about to go upstairs when they saw Sheng Yao running down the stairs in her pajamas.

Clutching her phone, she stamped her feet excitedly, "Shen Boyan! Shen Boyan! Him! Him!"

The uncle and aunt looked bewildered. The aunt asked nervously, "What's wrong? What happened?"

He called me and said he wanted to see me!

"..."

The uncle and aunt were both stunned for a moment. The aunt patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "You child..."

The uncle was also quite helpless, "You get this excited just because I called you? Yao Yao, you're the daughter of the Sheng family, can't you have some self-respect!"

"You don't understand!"

Sheng Yao's feelings at this moment were simply indescribable.

She couldn't wait to go out, as if she couldn't wait a moment longer.

Her aunt quickly reminded her, "At least change your clothes and wear slippers. Are you really planning to go out like this?"

"Oh!" Sheng Yao finally realized what was happening and hurriedly ran upstairs.
