Chapter 197 There are always a few who are not afraid of death.
Qiao Xing was naturally aware of phone bombing. It could be bought through special online channels for a few hundred yuan for a month of bombing, and all of them were virtual numbers, so they couldn't be blocked completely.
Don't ask her how she knows; her classmate was working on this software back in school.
Qiao Xing had a headache. "What exactly do you want?"
"I told you, come to the hospital and I'll tell you what's going on. What are you afraid of? Do you think I'm going to eat you?"
Qiao Xing didn't want to pay attention to him and hung up the phone directly.
He threatened to stab her, how could she not be afraid? She even went to the hospital to find Lin Yu, she must be out of her mind to go.
After she hung up the phone, Xiao Hu asked, "Boyfriend?"
Qiao Xing was a little annoyed and casually said, "Ex-boyfriend."
"Oh, he's still clinging to you after the breakup. Looks like he really likes you," Xiao Hu said with a smile.
Qiao Xing twitched the corner of her mouth, unsure how to respond.
She used to think that Lin Yu liked her a lot, but now, looking back on all the little things she did with Lin Yu, she couldn't find any trace of him liking her.
Seeing that she didn't seem interested in talking about this, Xiao Hu changed the subject, "After get off work, want to go eat?"
Qiao Xing shook her head. "I'm not going. I don't want to eat."
"How can you go to work this afternoon if you don't eat? Don't hurt your health over an ex-boyfriend. Come on, I know a place with really good rice bowls. I'll take you there."
Unable to refuse Xiao Hu's kind offer, Qiao Xing hesitated for a moment, but ultimately agreed.
The two left the company together. At that moment, Qin Ce was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window making a phone call. He looked down and saw a familiar figure in the crowd.
Actually, from his height, he couldn't see clearly at all, but he still saw it. Just from its clothes and figure, he could recognize it as Qiao Xing at a glance.
She was talking to the man next to her.
In a moment of distraction, Joey's voice came from the other end of the phone again, "Baby, did you hear me? Keep an eye on Xue Ling for me tomorrow. I'll take her back the day after tomorrow after I attend Mr. Yang's birthday banquet."
Qin Ce snapped out of his reverie and gave a faint "hmm," then hung up.
He hung up the phone and then found Qiao Xing's number to call her back.
Qiao Xing had just stepped out of the company area and was about to cross the road when she received a call from Qin Ce.
She was a little suspicious. Why was Qin Ce calling her at this hour? Did he want to have dinner with her?
But he never invited her to eat with him when she was here before.
Despite her thoughts, her hand answered the phone without hesitation.
"Hey Qin Ce."
"Did you have meal?"
Qiao Xing was taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at Xiao Hu next to her, "We were just about to go eat."
"Come back to the company, I've ordered takeout for you."
"...You ordered takeout for me again."
"Yes, come back soon."
"All right."
Qiao Xing hung up the phone and looked at Xiao Hu somewhat apologetically, "I'm sorry, my husband ordered takeout for me, so I can't go eat with you."
When Xiao Hu heard the word "husband," her expression cracked slightly, as if she was thinking about the phone call she had just received from her ex-boyfriend and the connection between her and her husband.
But his expression quickly returned to normal. "That's alright, you can go ahead."
"Um, I'm sorry."
"fine."
Qiao Xing turned around and ran back. She went to the room where takeout was kept and searched around, but she couldn't find the takeout that Qin Ce had ordered for her.
Just to be on the safe side, she searched again, but still couldn't find it.
She called Qin Ce to confirm, "What did you order? I can't find it."
Qin Ce was silent for two seconds, then said, "It might have been taken by someone else. Go down to the parking lot, and I'll take you out to eat."
"Your company..." Qiao Xing was somewhat incredulous. Could there really be someone in their company who would do such a thing?
"Hmm, they might have taken the wrong one."
"All right."
Qiao Xing sighed and resignedly got out of the parking lot. It was rush hour, and all the elevators were slow.
Just then, the innermost elevator opened, and she ran over without thinking.
A group of people who had just entered the elevator behind her all turned to look in her direction.
"Did she take... our boss's private elevator?"
"Yeah, which department is she from? She's so arrogant. Didn't anyone tell her when she joined the company?"
"They might know. There are always a few fearless individuals who will pretend not to know and try to bump into the boss."
Yes, this has happened before. Some people genuinely didn't know, while others pretended not to know, trying to bump into the boss like they do on TV and show their face in front of him.
The most classic example is from last month, when a member of the art department would time her appearances perfectly to bump into the boss, hoping to make him remember her and develop a future with him.
The boss remembered her and even asked her which department she was in, which made the woman extremely happy.
As a result, her department manager suffered the consequences, receiving a severe scolding. Upon returning home, the manager immediately sought to fire the woman.
Having learned from this experience, department managers repeatedly emphasize the importance of female employees with ulterior motives, especially those who have just joined the company.
That's why Qiao Xing's action of running into the elevator just now shocked those people.
While everyone was betting on which department manager would be in trouble, Qiao Xing was unaware of all this. She had already entered the elevator and discovered that Qin Ce was inside as well.
She smiled at Qin Ce and asked, "Why are you the only one in this elevator?"
Qin Ce said, "This is the general manager's office's private elevator."
"I see. It seems you hold a high position in the company."
He lowered his gaze to her, his deep eyes revealing an unreadable light, and suddenly said, "Because I'm the boss."
Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, her expression a little unnatural. She tugged at Qin Ce's sleeve, "Stop bringing this up. It was my fault last time. I shouldn't have doubted you, but you don't have to keep using this to tease me."
Qin Ce stared intently at her, suddenly at a loss for words.
He sighed and stepped out of the elevator.
There's a reason why every meaningful story has been passed down through generations, like the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf."
Qiao Xing quickly caught up with him, "Are you angry?"
"No."
"Then what should we eat?"
Qin Ce stopped in his tracks, and Qiao Xing, unable to brake in time, crashed straight into his back, taking two steps back due to inertia.
He turned around, put his arm around her waist and pulled her back, so she pressed herself against his chest again.
Qiao Xing's expression became somewhat uncomfortable.
He leaned down slightly, his gaze fixed intently on her. "What would you like to eat?"
He sounded somewhat absent-minded as he spoke, but his burning gaze was fixed on Qiao Xing's face, making Qiao Xing feel as if he was saying... he was going to devour her.
The two were close, and the hot breath he exhaled on her face made her cheeks feel hot.
Qiao Xing opened her mouth, then raised her hand to push him away, avoiding his gaze, and said awkwardly, "I'm fine with anything."
"It will be all right?"
Qiao Xing was about to say something when her phone rang again.
The ringing of the bell was like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing her emotions.
"Your phone is ringing," Qin Ce kindly reminded her.
Qiao Xing reluctantly took out her phone, and sure enough, it was the same call from before. She bit her lip and chose to hang up.
When she looked up again, she found Qin Ce staring at her phone.
