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...

Could Chapter 520 be President Qin's wife?

Could Chapter 520 be President Qin's wife?

Wang Ye sat upright and proper, like a prisoner awaiting trial. Even Qiao Xing, sitting next to him, could feel the pressure from him.

Qin Ce read slowly, probably because he made too many typos. Some homophones could have different meanings, and it took him a moment to figure out what Wang Ye meant.

Qiao Xing felt the urge to use the restroom, so she stood up and asked, "Qin Ce, where is the restroom on your floor?"

Qin Ce didn't even look up. "Turn left when you go out."

"oh."

She stood up, gave Wang Ye an encouraging look, and then walked out of the office amidst Wang Ye's reluctant gaze.

Wang Ye thought to himself that it was too late, and once Qiao Xing left, Qin Ce would start criticizing him without restraint.

But it seems that didn't happen. A few minutes after Qiao Xing left, Qin Ce closed the plan and glanced at him.

"I'll go back and redo it."

Qin Ce dodged his hand as he tried to take back the plan and said, "No need. Although there are many typos, your plan is very detailed."

This time, he took into account both risk and cost estimates, and even created a risk and profit forecast comparison chart. Based on his previous investigation, the probability of making a profit was 70%.

These icons and mind maps were definitely not something Wang Ye could create. Although someone helped him, it didn't matter. Making these materials perfect was something a working person should do, not Wang Ye. He only needed to have his own ideas and plans.

A score above 70 indicates a project worth investing in.

"Huh? So it passed?"

Qin Ce nodded slightly. "What are your thoughts now?"

"Um, I have some ideas...? Yes, I do, but I'm a little nervous right now. Let me organize my thoughts."

Qin Ce handed him a cup of tea to calm his nerves, saying, "You don't usually seem this nervous."

Wang Ye took the teacup and downed it in one gulp. "The occasion is different then, I'm definitely not nervous."

Now, when he sees Qin Ce's calm and unwavering gaze, it's as if a god is looking down at him.

Qin Ce didn't speak, waiting for him to calm down.

When Qiao Xing returned from the restroom, he saw He Fen lurking suspiciously outside Qin Ce's office, trying to peek inside.

Unfortunately, the door was closed too tightly, and she couldn't see anything. She pressed her ear against the door, and then... the door opened.

Startled, He Fen grabbed a broom and ran away, only to bump right into Qiao Xing.

"Aunt, what's wrong...?"

He Fen saw Qiao Xing's eyes light up, and then glanced back at the office door. Fortunately, no one chased after her, and she felt relieved.

"Xingxing, what are you doing here? Are you looking for Qin Ce?"

Qiao Xing nodded. "Yes, what's wrong?"

He Fen leaned closer to her and suddenly lowered her voice, "I just heard that President Han brought a beautiful woman in, and she even came up to this floor. I just wanted to come and see for myself."

Qiao Xing now believed it; Wang Ye wasn't exaggerating. His aunt had indeed come here as a spy.

"And then what? What if they see you?"

He Fen paused for a moment, "This..."

There's not much she can do, but she definitely needs to identify her target first and put pressure on that woman. If that doesn't work, she'll gather evidence so that Qiao Xing can get more assets during the divorce.

Although she had her own ulterior motives in these actions, to some extent, she was also thinking of Qiao Xing's best interests.

Qiao Xing was silent for a while, and before she could speak, He Fen tugged at her again, "They might still be inside. Now that you're here, it's inconvenient for me to go in, but you can go in and take a look."

"Auntie, is it possible that the beautiful woman Mr. Han brought is me?"

He Fen was stunned for a moment, then seemed to realize what was happening. She stared at Qiao Xing for two seconds before smiling and saying, "It's you? That's good, that's good."

"Auntie, I heard from my cousin that you're always staring at those beautiful women at work?"

He Fen paused again, her expression becoming somewhat unnatural. "Really? Don't listen to that kid's nonsense. I'm just here to be a cleaner. I clean upstairs and downstairs every day, so I'm bound to know a lot of people."

Qiao Xing smiled but didn't expose her.

However, He Fen couldn't keep her mouth shut and couldn't help but say, "But speaking of which, there are really a lot of vixens in this company. You'd better give Qin Ce a good talking-to later, so he doesn't get seduced by the women in the company."

This wasn't the first time Qiao Xing had heard this. She felt a little helpless, but also a little amused.

“If he could be seduced, he would have been seduced long ago. Besides, if he really had that idea, there’s no point in me keeping an eye on him.”

"You can't say that. Men are like kites; if you let go of the string, they'll fly farther and farther away..."

"Alright, Auntie, you've said this a hundred and eighty times already. Since you care so much, then you can keep an eye on things for me."

He Fen seemed to have been waiting for her to say that, her face crinkling with smiles. "That's great!"

She grabbed Qiao Xing's wrist. "Come on, come with me, I'll take you to see it."

Qiao Xing followed behind her, completely bewildered. "What are you looking at?"

As they were talking, He Fen led her to another office on the same floor, with the words "General Manager's Office" hanging outside.

There were five or six people inside, one of whom I had just seen; he was the one who made tea for them.

There are three female employees and three male employees.

The door wasn't closed, and He Fen just pulled her to stand at the doorway, pointing to the girl by the window.

"That woman with curly hair, the one by the window, she comes into the office two or three times a day. I don't think she looks like a docile person."

Qiao Xing stood at the door. With such a large target, it was hard for the people inside not to see him. Several people looked up and looked over. When they saw He Fen, their expressions turned sour.

When she saw Qiao Xing next to He Fen, her expression turned even worse.

Especially the female colleague with curly hair, when she saw He Fen pointing at her, cold sweat broke out on her back, and she had a million thoughts of "I'm doomed".

Could this be President Qin's wife?

Qiao Xing was the most embarrassed. He Fen had suddenly pulled her to the office door, making her the center of attention. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into a hole.

She grabbed He Fen and pulled her outside, only letting go after they had walked quite a distance. "Auntie, what are you doing?"

"I'm just helping you recognize people, aren't I?"

Qiao Xing said helplessly, "She works in the general manager's office, she's there to work for Qin Ce, how could she not go into the office? Do you have any evidence? You just came here to accuse her. There was nothing to begin with, what if it gets out and ruins her reputation?"

Her tone was a bit serious, and He Fen stood there, stunned, not knowing what to do for a long time.

After a while, He Fen muttered hesitantly, "Well, I'm doing this for your own good."

"Thank you, Auntie, but without evidence, you shouldn't harbor hostility towards others. If you were in that situation, would you be able to go to work with peace of mind if someone spread rumors about you?"

"Okay, okay, you're right. I'll listen to you, alright? I'll keep an eye on things from now on and won't say anything out of line. Is that alright?"

Qiao Xing sighed helplessly. She couldn't handle her aunt's harshness in the past, and she still couldn't handle her aunt's enthusiasm now.

If you don't think about the past, He Fen's current support for her gives her a sense of having someone backing her up, which is somewhat touching.

"Okay, don't point at people like that again."

"Okay, okay." He Fen was incredibly easygoing now, agreeing to whatever Qiao Xing said. Suddenly, she remembered something and said, "By the way, weren't you going to find Qin Ce? Then go ahead."

"Forget it, I'm not going. He's talking to my cousin. I'll just wait outside."

"Xiao Ye is here too?"

"Um."

He Fen was even happier. This connection had finally come in handy. It wasn't for nothing that she had been guarding against the women in the company like thieves every day, even though it hadn't been very effective.

She had even started to fantasize about how successful Wang Ye would become, and she couldn't imagine how glamorous she would be in the neighborhood.

Qiao Xing could see the smile on her face, and finally understood what Qin Ce meant when he said that she wore her heart on her sleeve.

Could it be that Qin Ce looks at her the same way she looks at He Fen?

That's terrifying.

He Fen pulled her to sit down on the sofa in the lobby to chat. There weren't many people on this floor, and it was very spacious, unlike the other floors which were full of dense offices. There was a large lobby and a reception desk here.

The layout is similar to the lobby on the first floor. Opposite the reception desk are sofas and coffee tables, as well as many filing cabinets.

Sitting here is almost the same as sitting in Qin Ce's office. You can see the scenery below with just a turn of your head, except that what you see from here is the back of the company.

He Fen talked to her for a long time, mainly to improve her favorability. It was clear that she had a very relaxed job here. Although the job of a cleaner doesn't sound very prestigious, only she knew how happy she was to be a cleaner here.

After all, there wasn't much work, and the salary wasn't less than that of some low-level employees.

He Fen told her to have a child as soon as possible, because having a child would deepen the bond between husband and wife.

Qiao Xing could only nod in agreement; he had nothing else to say.

After sitting for more than half an hour, Wang Ye came out of Qin Ce's office, and Qiao Xing was finally relieved.

She stood up and said, "My cousin is out."

He Fen also stood up, ignoring Qiao Xing, and ran to ask Wang Ye, "How is it? How is it?"

Wang Ye nodded and said, "That's about it. I need to go back and make some preparations."

"What are you preparing?"

"Getting ready to choose a location to open a store," Wang Ye said, his face lighting up with excitement. All traces of the tension he had shown in the office earlier were gone; now he was bursting with joy.

He Fen was also very excited and pulled him aside, wanting him to explain in detail.

Wang Ye glanced at Qiao Xing and said to her, "Cousin, Qin Ce is calling you in."

"Let me in?"

"right."

"Oh." Qiao Xing left the two behind and walked towards Qin Ce's office. The door wasn't closed yet, so she knocked three times and went straight in.

Qin Ce was still sitting on the sofa, flipping through Wang Ye's proposal.

"Qin Ce, what do you want from me?"

Qin Ce looked up at her and said, "It's getting late. Sit here for a while and come back with me later."

"You called me in just for this?" She thought it was something important.

"What else is there?"

"Okay." Qiao Xing sat down on the sofa. She had never seen Qin Ce work before, and this was the first time she had the chance to see it.

Qin Ce casually placed the proposal on the table, got up, returned to his desk, and began processing the documents piled up on it.

There were quite a few, and Qiao Xing, sitting on the sofa, couldn't even see their heads anymore.
