Chapter 242 Company Year-End Bonus Includes a Car
Qiao Xing didn't know what he was thinking; his mind was full of Bai Yi's thoughts, and she felt uneasy when Bai Yi didn't reply to her messages.
After Qin Ce took her home, he went out. As he passed the living room, he saw Lin Xi sitting upright on the sofa.
He glanced over, and Lin Xi immediately shrank her neck and looked away.
Despite having met him so many times, Lin Xi was still afraid of him.
Qin Ce paused for a moment, said nothing, and turned to walk out.
Joey and the others are leaving tomorrow, their flight is early in the morning. It seems Joey went out to buy something or visit the old man. Right now, only Qiao Xing and Lin Xi are at home.
Lin Xi stared longingly at Qiao Xing, ignoring the television.
Qiao Xing understood what she meant, sighed, and resignedly took out her phone and handed it to her.
"Xiao Xi, your mom sent you here for tutoring. You can't just play games all day. If you play games in the morning, you have to study in the afternoon, okay?"
Lin Xi took the phone, skillfully opened the game, and nodded in agreement.
Qiao Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she agreed.
Yang Han didn't seem to play games today. After Lin Xi logged on, no one invited her to play, so she just played by herself.
Yesterday, Yang Han played ranked matches with her, and the win rate was too high. Today, even in solo queue, she struggled and lost several games in a row.
However, Lin Xi was not angry. She would restart the game after losing, and when her win rate was close to 60%, she started winning.
Qiao Xing propped his head up and watched her play the game. As he watched, Qiao Xing seemed to understand the controls and even recognized several heroes.
Around noon, Joey returned. She opened the door and saw the two of them playing games again, but one person was missing from the room.
Joey asked, "Star, where's Snow Spirit?"
Qiao Xing paused, looked up and glanced around, a sudden unease creeping into her heart. "Didn't she go out with you?"
Joey frowned. "She didn't go out with me. She said she wasn't feeling well and was sleeping at home."
But at this hour, Xue Ling should have been up long ago.
To confirm, Joey went inside to check, and sure enough, there was no sign of Xue Ling in the bedroom.
Her expression changed, and she came out to say to Qiao Xing, "That girl has disappeared again."
As Joey spoke, he took out his phone and called Xue Ling.
Fortunately, the call still went through, and the other end answered quickly. Joey hurriedly asked, "Xueling, where did you go?"
Xue Ling's voice came through the phone, "I'm outside, don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Joey opened her mouth, wanting to say something but afraid of upsetting her and causing her to try to kill herself again like last time. Joey couldn't bear that kind of pain anymore.
After thinking for a moment, Joey asked, "When are you coming back? What are we having for lunch?"
Xue Ling said, "Don't worry about me. I'll definitely be back before dark, and I'll go with you tomorrow too."
When Xue Ling said those last words, there was a hint of disappointment in her voice.
When Joey heard her say that, she couldn't help but sigh. After a long silence, she lowered her voice and said softly, "Okay, Mommy believes you. Come back soon. Xingxing and I will be waiting for you at home."
Xue Ling remained silent for a while before giving a very soft "hmm".
After hanging up the phone, Joey put her phone in her pocket, rubbed her temples wearily, and her face was full of worry.
She only went to see the old man and talked to Qin Yi for a while, and then the girl disappeared. It's really worrying.
But now Joey doesn't dare to push too hard. It all depends on Xueling herself. Joey is willing to believe in his daughter and that she won't be so impulsive again and won't abandon her parents.
That was all she could think.
Seeing the melancholy on her face, Qiao Xing couldn't help but worry.
Just then, her phone rang. Qiao Xing quickly turned to look and saw that it was a message from Bai Yi.
Lin Xi casually scrolled the message up before Qiao Xing could even see it clearly.
However, Lin Xi finished typing quickly and returned the phone to Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing took the phone, opened WeChat, and clicked on Bai Yi's reply.
[Sorry, I was too busy this morning and didn't check my phone. Is your injury serious? If it's really serious, please rest at home.]
Upon seeing this message, Qiao Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Bai Yi didn't mind the matter.
Furthermore, they did not inquire about Wang Ye's affairs.
Qiao Xing quickly replied: [It's not too serious right now, but the doctor said it will be at least another week before I can walk.]
Bai Yi: [Then you should rest well at home. You can come to the company's annual party later. The prizes in the lucky draw at this year's party seem pretty good, so don't miss it.]
Qiao Xing was stunned. In the past, the most valuable prize in the company's annual party raffle was a shopping card worth two thousand yuan. Most of the prizes were things like tissues and laundry detergent. What valuable prizes could there be this year?
She quickly asked, "[What gifts are included?]"
Bai Yi: [I don't know about the others, but I do know there's a car that everyone's been talking about like crazy, but I don't know if it's true or not, maybe it's a BMW MINI.]
Qiao Xing was very surprised that Bai Yi knew so much, even the car's model number.
[Team Leader Bai, are you sure? But isn't the BMW MINI usually driven by women?]
[I'm not sure about that. I just overheard people in the administration department talking about ordering a car, so it's probably true. To be honest, I'm also puzzled. Luckily, it was General Manager Liao who personally selected this car; it's too strange.]
Qiao Xing also found it strange that there were actually more female employees than male employees in the company.
Bai Yi stopped replying to her, and Qiao Xing returned the phone to Lin Xi to continue playing games.
Qiao Xing wasn't very familiar with cars, but BMW was such a popular brand, especially the Mini. It was hard not to know about it; several of his female colleagues at the company drove it.
Qiao Xing had heard them brag before, saying that the car's base price was around 300,000 yuan. The company's spending was so extravagant that Qiao Xing found it hard to believe.
After all, the most valuable thing used to be a shopping card worth two thousand.
Qiao Xing rested her chin on her hand and continued watching Lin Xi play games. She hadn't really wanted to go to the company's annual party before, but after Bai Yi said that, she suddenly wanted to go.
Although she's never had much luck, what if she gets incredibly lucky?
If they win the lottery, wouldn't they save hundreds of thousands of yuan? They wouldn't have to spend their own money to buy it.
Qin Ce had just told her he was going to buy her a car, and now she knows the company's year-end bonus includes a car. Maybe this is fate.
Meanwhile, Xue Ling had already arrived at the coffee shop.
Yang Han was already there in the coffee shop, along with Xiao Lin.
The couple sat together, staring intently at her, as if they were looking at a child.
They sat together and looked so well-matched that it felt like Xue Ling was superfluous to be there.
Xue Ling had only invited Yang Han, but Yang Han brought Xiao Lin along. Xue Ling was a little angry, but she didn't know what to say.
Xiao Lin seemed to see through her thoughts and said, "Hello Xue Ling, I shouldn't be here, but I heard you're leaving tomorrow, so I took the liberty of coming along. I hope you don't mind."
