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...

Why did you quit in Chapter 350?

Why did you quit in Chapter 350?

"What are you doing? I'm at work," Qiao Xing said in a low voice.

She was on her way to a meeting when Yang Han kept making phone calls.

Yang Han said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to have disturbed your work, but I still have a question I'd like to ask you."

"What's up?"

"Well, you and Lao Qin..." Yang Han hesitated for a moment, then asked more tactfully, "What happened between you two?"

Nothing happened.

Yang Han didn't believe it. "How could that be? Sister-in-law, just tell me straight, are you two...?"

He didn't dare to ask the words "divorce" out loud.

Qiao Xing frowned. Even now, Yang Han was still testing her, afraid that she might let something slip.

These two are really good friends, they have a very good relationship!

"Go ask him yourself," Qiao Xing said, not wanting to talk to him anymore. "I'm going to a meeting now."

This was a matter between her and Qin Ce, but so many people had gotten involved. The more people involved, the more Qiao Xing felt that this marriage was a joke.

Yang Han stared blankly at the phone that had been hung up.

"It seems they really do know."

He murmured, looking up to see Xiao Lin coming downstairs. "Where are you going?"

Xiao Lin, dressed in business attire, turned to look at him and said truthfully, "I'm going to the company."

Yang Han has been so engrossed in the competition lately that he's hardly ever been to the company. However, he did ask Xiao Lin for permission to come and cheer him on.

But Xiao Lin only wanted to go to work.

Yang Han put down his phone and quickly walked up to Xiao Lin. "Honey, come with me to Haishi! Without your encouragement, I've lost a lot of motivation!"

Xiao Lin looked him up and down. "I don't understand your game, what would I do there?"

She felt that she was already being kind by not saying that Yang Han was wasting his time playing games, and she even went to cheer him on.

"You don't need to understand, just go and cheer me on, honey..." Yang Han hugged her arm and shook it, her tone carrying a coquettish tone.

Xiao Lin's pretty brows furrowed slightly. "I'll think about it."

"Really? Then think it over carefully. I'll wait for your news in three days." Yang Han winked at her, her face beaming with joy.

Xiao Lin thought for a moment, then asked, "Then tell me, have Qin Ce and that Qiao Xing already come clean?"

"I don't know. I was just asking too. I noticed Qiao Xing's tone wasn't good. I guess she's come clean. Now I'm suffering along with her."

Yang Han was also at a loss for words. What could he do? Did he dare to tell Qiao Xing behind Qin Ce's back?

Qin Ce had no choice but to kill him.

Rather than bear Qin Ce's wrath, he would rather accept Qiao Xing's misplaced anger, since Qiao Xing could not cause him any real harm.

"So what's their situation now?"

Yang Han shrugged. "I don't know. I don't know anything. I already told you I won't get involved in their business."

Xiao Lin nodded and didn't ask any more questions. "I have a meeting in a bit, so I'll be going now."

Yang Han did not try to persuade her to stay.

He paced back and forth in the room, pondering how to handle the situation.

Or, how about we let these two go to Haishi together?

In unfamiliar places, the distance between people can be quickly shortened.

That's indeed... a good idea!

Qiao Xing had just come out of a meeting.

In the small conference room, Bai Yi was still packing her things. After the other colleagues left, Qiao Xing went back.

"Team Leader Bai."

Bai Yi looked up at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qiao Xing hesitated for a moment and said, "Um, can I withdraw from the project with S&C?"

Bai Yi paused in his actions, looking at her with confusion, "Why are you quitting?"

Qiao Xing looked somewhat conflicted, without explaining why, only saying, "Anyway, during the half month I spent learning, I didn't make any substantial progress. Anyone could replace me."

Bai Yi stared at her for a few seconds. Although Qiao Xing didn't say anything, Bai Yi guessed what was going on.

"You don't need to withdraw. This project is for you to participate in, and it has nothing to do with Qin Ce."

Qiao Xing felt somewhat embarrassed after his thoughts were exposed.

Bai Yi said, "Didn't I say before? There's no one in this department that I like, so I sent you there. I bet Qin Ce doesn't even know that, so don't feel pressured."

"But……"

"No buts. I know you're afraid people will say you got in through connections, but that's precisely why you need to work hard and achieve results to shut them up."

"If you quit now, it will confirm the fact that you're gone, understand?"

After listening to Bai Yi's words, Qiao Xing also felt that there was some truth to them.

But she still asked, "Really?"

Bai Yi chuckled. "Of course it's true. Actually, I hate people who use connections even more than you do. If that were really the case, I wouldn't be telling you all this."

Bai Yi spoke sincerely, and Qiao Xing believed that she was not lying to him.

"So, I have to win the first prize at the company's annual party?"

"I don't know about that. You shouldn't have asked me. Perhaps Mr. Liao would know more."

Qiao Xing certainly didn't dare to ask President Liao. Although there was an element of luck involved in this lottery, this luck was just too good.

Even the loans she had taken out before were refunded to her by the other company under the pretext of clearing accounts. She got more than 30,000 yuan for nothing without having to repay the money.

She actually believed something that seemed impossible.

Bai Yi patted her shoulder, "Alright, stop thinking about it, go to work."

Qiao Xing nodded, putting aside her jumbled thoughts, and returned to her workstation.

Several times I tried to get back to work, but my mind would wander after just a few minutes.

She had been looking at the market research Zhao Yan sent her for two days and still hadn't finished.

Qiao Xing remained in a daze until the end of the workday.

Because she didn't know where to go after work.

After separating from Qin Ce, she no longer even had a home. How could she possibly be worthy of his status?

Qiao Xing stood down at the company, a bitter smile on his lips.

She habitually looked across the street, but Qin Ce wasn't there. The spot where he usually parked his car was empty.

Qiao Xing walked along the sidewalk, not knowing where she was going, wandering aimlessly on the road.

The pale sun gradually disappeared into the clouds, and the sky darkened.

Qiao Xing walked to a park, saw that there were many people inside, went in and found a seat.

I sat there until it got dark.

Suddenly, Wang Ye called her, which surprised Qiao Xing. Wang Ye hadn't called her in a long time.

She swiped to answer the call and held the phone to her ear. "Cousin, what's up?"

"Uh..." Wang Ye hesitated for a while before coming up with an excuse, "Well, Bai Yi told me you weren't in a good mood today. Where are you?"
