Chapter 65
Qiao Ye and Pei Qing's days passed slowly like this.
Tomorrow is Pei Qing's graduation ceremony.
Recently, Qiao has appeared at home very few times. Most of the time, she just takes a little time to have lunch with her at noon, and then drives away in a hurry after dinner.
She spent less and less time at home.
Every time she came back, she had to make and receive countless phone calls, but even so, she still came back.
Judging from the frequency of her phone calls, Pei Qing speculated that perhaps the issue of replacing the president of the K Chamber of Commerce had reached a fever pitch.
She placed her graduation invitation on the table.
I hope she can see this invitation when she comes back at noon today.
She had to go to school to return books in the afternoon, so she just prepared lunch and left.
As graduation approaches, many unfamiliar faces appear on campus, most of them are parents of classmates.
Pei Qing did not regret that her parents did not show up here. In fact, she was somewhat fortunate that they did not show up here.
The library of Scolito University is a two-hundred-year-old library, and its exterior walls are covered with green ivy.
It should have been cleaned up, but this green vine has a strong adsorption capacity, so the matter was left unresolved.
Of course, it is precisely because of these green vines that this library looks so vibrant.
"Hey, Pei, you finally graduated early."
As the librarian spoke, he checked the book she handed over and then put it away.
"Yes. Graduating early is also a good idea for me."
The woman smiled and shook her head, pointing at her and saying, "There are many geniuses in Scolido, and you are one of them."
Pei Qing playfully replied, "If even I am considered a genius, then you must have never seen a true genius."
Her answer made the woman laugh. "No, Miss. The genius I mean is that you were able to graduate early from Lawyer Boles's tutelage. After all, most of his students have delayed graduation."
"So that's how it is."
Boles was her mentor, and it was Xue Xiaochen who found the mentor for her.
But later she found out that this mentor was actually found by Qiao Ye.
"Is the person behind you your parent?"
The administrator's sudden voice made her stunned for a moment, and she subconsciously retorted, "I don't have any parents here today."
Hearing her say this, the woman was a little surprised, "Then he has been staring at you for a long time."
As she spoke, she raised her chin towards somewhere behind her, motioning her to look.
Following the direction she pointed, Pei Qing looked and saw a man in a suit.
He looked to be in his forties, with his legs crossed, very gentlemanly, his eyes looking in her direction. Just sitting there, he became a focus.
Seeing her turn her head, the man smiled and waved to her.
Did he really come to see her?
Pei Qing gave a perfunctory smile while searching for information about this man in his mind.
In the end, nothing was gained.
She was very sure that she didn't know this person and had never even seen his face.
But why did he come to her?
After saying goodbye to the administrator, she walked towards the man.
When you get closer to him, the first thing you smell is the faint scent of cologne.
Then, he sat down at another seat at the table and asked, "I wonder if Mr. is..."
Until now, she is still searching for information about the man in her mind.
She even searched all the guests in the hotel, but still found no trace of this man.
Hearing her question, the man just smiled and said, "Would you like some tea? We can chat while we have some tea."
"Sorry, I'm not very good at drinking tea with people I don't know." Pei Qing declined politely.
"Is that so..." The man nodded in understanding, "Okay then. Let me introduce myself. My name is Qiao Yang."
"Qiao Yang?" Pei Qing still looked confused. She didn't know this person.
"Ah," the man slapped his head in self-reproach, as if he had just remembered that she didn't know him, "You may not know me. But I am Qiao Ye's father."
Qiao Ye's father?
Pei Qing knew this identity, but precisely because she knew it, she couldn't understand why he came to her if he was Qiao Ye's father?
There isn't much overlap between them.
"It's like this. I would like to ask you to do me a favor." The man's eyes were so sincere that people could not help but believe him.
But Pei Qing had seen too many similar expressions at the Audley Hotel, so she was indifferent to this expression.
"Sir, you can tell me directly. But as you can see, I'm just a graduating student now, so I'm afraid I can't give you any effective help."
The implication is: I can help, but whether to help or not is my business.
Qiao Yang is also an old fox who has been in the business for a long time. He understood the meaning of her words almost instantly.
"Of course. I hope you can persuade Xiaoye to give up the K Chamber of Commerce. After all, father and daughter are enemies, and if this matter gets out, it won't be a good thing for her."
After hearing his words, Pei Qing knew that it was probably because Qiao Ye's actions were too cruel, so Qiao Yang could not accept it. However, he could not convince Qiao Ye on his own, so he could only come to her to save the country in a roundabout way, hoping that she could convince her.
only……
Pei Qing smiled nonchalantly, "Mr. Qiao, I think you've got the wrong person."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Qiao Yang looked at her with interest.
"Since you're Qiao Ye's father, you should understand your daughter. Her personality and ways of doing things. You should also know that she hates being lectured about what she does. If even you can't persuade her, then what gives you the confidence that I will succeed? After all, I do know a little bit about her temper. If I really tried to persuade her, she would just block my contact information."
Pei Qing said this while observing Qiao Yang's expression.
I originally thought that Qiao Yang would react to her words, whether positive or negative.
But the man didn't show any major emotional fluctuations from beginning to end.
He even nodded in agreement with her, "You make sense."
This mentality and style, to some extent, are exactly the same as Qiao's, they are indeed father and daughter.
"If Mr. Qiao has nothing else to say, I'll leave first."
"Don't be impatient." The man poured a small cup of tea and placed it in front of her.
Pei Qing, who was about to get up, sat down again.
Although she has a father who is not very capable, she still has the necessary etiquette.
For example: asking elders to serve tea is a mistake.
"Um?"
"How long have you been with Xiaoye?" Qiao Yang's tone was very flat, as if he was just asking a simple question.
"What do you mean by 'follow'?"
Qiao Yang was slightly stunned. "I mean, how long have you known Xiao Ye?"
"We met in college." Pei Qing explained everything.
"University?"
"Yes."
Qiao Yang thought for a moment and said, "I remember Xiaoye dropped out of school and went abroad during his freshman year. So, you two met at University A?"
"Yes."
I have to say that Qiao Yang is indeed an old fox. He can infer a lot of things from her short sentence.
This was also the first time Pei Qing saw that Qiao Yang and Qiao were indeed father and daughter, both of them had unique abilities in capturing information.
"But I recently heard from that kid from the He family that the relationship between you two is not that simple?"
Qiao Yang's words seemed to be just a casual chat, but Pei Qing had cold sweat on his forehead.
But she quickly calmed down and said half-seriously, "Mr. Qiao, what you said is a little wrong. Ah Ye and I are just friends. As for what Mr. He said, I don't quite understand it. After all, the relationship we see may not be the same as it appears to others."
Her answer was very clever, she directly changed He Shanyi's words into "I think so".
Even though she had never had any contact with He Shanyi.
Hearing this, Qiao Yang raised his head slightly and began to look at the girl in front of him.
Pei Qing lowered her eyes, allowing him to look at her neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Is that so? Then maybe the He family kid is mistaken."
Qiao Yang's face showed a tired expression. "I came to Country M this time because I heard that Xiaoye was trying to move the K Chamber of Commerce. As everyone knows, this chamber of commerce plays a very important role in the state of Mishiroda. I just don't want Xiaoye to be targeted by some people with ulterior motives. So, if Xiaoye listens to you, I hope you can persuade her to give up this chamber of commerce."
After saying that, the man stood up, simply packed his clothes, and then slowly walked out.
"If Mr. Qiao has confidence in himself, I think he will listen to you."
"Heh..." The man laughed bitterly and said faintly, "If she was willing to listen to me, I wouldn't have gone to all the trouble to come to you."
Pei Qing is the only one left in this position.
She looked at the teacup in front of her, and the tea in it had already gone cold.
I don’t know how much time passed before Pei Qing packed up his things and left.
And that cup of tea has been left there all the time.
When she got home, she looked around and saw that everything was no different from when she left.
Even the graduation invitation she had placed on the table remained motionless.
It seemed that no one had been here during the time she was away.
For some reason, she felt a vague sense of loss in her heart.
But soon, she suppressed it.
After all, Qiao has been very busy recently, and this is something she knew a long time ago, right?
Thinking of this, she felt relieved.
Start preparing for your graduation ceremony.
If Joe comes tomorrow, it will be her first graduation ceremony with someone attending.
Well, it doesn't matter even if she doesn't come.
After all, she was used to attending her graduation ceremony alone.
While she was thinking about Qiao Ye, Qiao Ye was in dire straits.
In the conference room on the top floor of the company
All twenty seats were fully occupied, with not a single empty seat.
If there were anyone in the industry here, they would definitely recognize most of the people here.
Qiao Ye, He Shanyi, Liming, Kang Lening, Xia Yi and so on.
The senior executives of Audley Hotel and Joey's startup company are all gathered here.
Opposite them sat the top executives of K Chamber of Commerce.
The atmosphere in the entire conference room was solemn, as if some important event was being discussed.
