Chapter 104 I don't believe in Wang Ye's intelligence
"Then, he was exploited by that company for three years. He endured hardship and was eventually valued by the big company. His small team also used the resources of the big company to grow into a big company."
"His people infiltrated large companies little by little. After their team joined, they began to instigate corruption and infighting among the company's senior executives, causing the stock price to plummet. Eventually, the company began to disintegrate from within. By the time the higher-ups realized something was wrong, his people had already taken control of the company's core departments, and it was too late to reverse the situation."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xing already guessed what would happen next: "So, did the big company go bankrupt?"
"Yes, it was acquired."
"Your friend is really amazing."
Qin Ce gave a cryptic laugh. "Right? Everyone praises him so much. If he had given up after that fall, would you still think he's amazing?"
Qiao Xing remained silent for a long time. It turned out that he had said so much just to comfort her.
A warm feeling washed over her. "I understand. Thank you."
"You're welcome, go to sleep."
"Um."
Qin Ce turned off the light, plunging the bedroom into darkness. Qiao Xing picked up the pillow and hugged it to her chest. The knot in her chest had been loosened by his words of comfort, and she closed her eyes peacefully, drifting off to sleep.
Now that Qin Ce is driving her to the company, she doesn't have to get up so early anymore; she set her alarm half an hour later.
Qiao Xing cooked two extra meals last night, and the first thing she did when she got up was to pack the food into lunchboxes.
"Is this enough for you?" Qiao Xing showed the lunchbox to Qin Ce. He had a big appetite, so she didn't know if this was enough.
Qin Ce took a bottle of water from the refrigerator and glanced down at the lunchbox in her hand. The lunchbox she had prepared for him was three-layered, with one layer for rice, one layer for vegetables, and one layer for meat.
Her own meal was much more casual; all the food was served together.
That's enough.
"Okay, I've packed it up for you. Don't forget it when you leave." Qiao Xing closed the lid and put the lunchbox into the bag.
After the two finished their meal, Qin Ce took her to her company before going to S&C himself.
Their company has designated parking areas for electric bikes and bicycles, but his electric bike was naturally parked on the second basement level.
As a result, when employees pass by the parking lot on their way to work, they will find an out-of-place electric car parked in the row of parking spaces reserved for the president.
"Whose electric scooter is parked in President Qin's parking space?" Han Yan got out of his car, went over to take a look, and immediately called over the security guard to inquire.
The security guard said, "That's the boss's electric scooter."
"What?" Han Yan's eyes widened. "You're saying this is President Qin's car?"
"Uh...yes." The security guard was also confused. He didn't understand why the boss had come on an electric scooter today. If he hadn't met the boss before, he would have stopped him from entering.
Han Yan couldn't help but laugh, "This guy is getting better and better at having fun."
He got his Mercedes back a long time ago, but it's been sitting in a corner collecting dust. He hasn't touched it at all, and he probably forgot he even has a Mercedes.
"Alright, it's nothing." Han Yan was already used to it. What was an electric scooter? Yesterday he even had someone buy a few microwave ovens to put in the rooftop conference room.
They even said that management could bring their own meals from now on.
The management team didn't know what the boss was trying to say. Even those who didn't want to bring their own lunch brought some to the company, afraid that they would fall behind and miss some rules and regulations, which would result in a deduction from their wages.
Therefore, at noon, the conference room was filled with people, all of whom were the company's management.
Everyone was eating the food they had brought.
Qiao Xing had no idea that his decision to bring his own lunch to the company in order to save money would trigger a chain reaction at Qin Ce's company.
As soon as she entered the company in the morning, she heard the news that Wu Yun had resigned.
Everyone in the department was talking about it. Why did Wu Yun resign out of the blue? Wasn't she supposed to be the director of three departments?
Lin Shuang didn't express her opinion. She felt that Qin Ce must be helping Qiao Xing behind the scenes, otherwise why would Wu Yun resign?
She glanced at Qiao Xing's location and felt even more envious. What incredible luck she had to meet such an outstanding man!
Ever since she started comparing herself to others, whenever she hears someone praising her boyfriend for being capable and outstanding, she feels that the other person is mocking her.
Around noon, Qiao Xing received a call from Wang Ye.
He decided to go to Lily's house this weekend to pick up her parents and asked Qiao Xing if she was free.
Qiao Xing thought about it and figured she shouldn't have anything to do this week, so she agreed.
Then, as if remembering something, she asked, "Cousin, did you tell Lily?"
"say what?"
"We talked about going to her hometown to pick up her parents." Qiao Xing didn't want the two of them to have another argument because of this.
Wang Ye said, "I mentioned it, but she told me it was too far and it would be inconvenient for the elderly to travel back and forth, so she didn't want them to come."
Qiao Xing frowned. "Aren't you still going? Aren't you afraid she'll be angry if she finds out?"
“I feel there’s something wrong here. Anyway, I’ll go and see first. Whether I accept her or not will be another matter later. You know, I’ve been talking to her for so long, and I don’t even know where she’s from or what her parents look like. I’m a little uneasy about it.”
Qiao Xing thought that made sense. Lily had previously deceived them by finding fake parents, and then she took the bride price and wanted to break up with Wang Ye. Although she didn't know why she changed her mind, given her past record, it was better to find out more about her background.
Moreover, Qin Ce had previously stated that Lily had been brainwashing Wang Ye.
Wang Ye's concerns are valid.
"Alright then, have you checked the route? Can we get back in two days?"
"I checked. We'll fly there Friday night, stay overnight in their county, and then take a bus to her hometown the next day. It only takes two hours, so there's plenty of time. Don't worry, it definitely won't interfere with your work."
"Okay, let's agree on this for now," Qiao Xing said.
"Then I'll buy you a plane ticket, okay? Just send me your ID card."
Qiao Xing hung up the phone and sent his ID card to Wang Ye.
She still needs to tell Qin Ce about this, since she'll be away for two days.
When it was time to leave work, Qin Ce arrived at her company on time to pick her up, and Qiao Xing took the opportunity to tell him about it.
Just as Qin Ce was about to leave, he slammed on the brakes. He turned back to look at Qiao Xing in surprise. "Going to Lily's hometown?"
"Yes, I'll go with my cousin."
He immediately rejected the idea, saying, "What would a girl like you do in such a remote mountain area? It's not safe."
"With my cousin here, nothing will happen... Hey, how did you know Lily's hometown is in some remote mountain village?"
Qin Ce was slightly taken aback, his expression somewhat unnatural. He casually replied, "Didn't she say that herself last time?"
"Oh, I think I did mention that..."
Qin Ce frowned. "You'd better not go. Let Wang Ye go by himself."
"I already agreed to his request, and I've even bought the tickets. Don't worry, my cousin wouldn't sell me out, would he?"
"I'm worried that you two will be sold out." It wasn't that he didn't trust Wang Ye's character; he didn't trust Wang Ye's intelligence.
Qiao Xing twitched the corner of her mouth, "How could that be... He's at least thirty years old."
Qin Ce didn't bother arguing with her. He took out his phone and opened the ticket booking app. "Which flight?"
"What? You're going too?"
