Chapter 253 Why did they let President Qin sit there?
As the two were chatting, Lin Shuang arrived with her boyfriend. Zhang Zhe greeted Qin Ce, "Qin... hello."
He hesitated for a long time, unsure of what to call Qin Ce. Calling him by his name would be too impolite, but calling him "President Qin" might reveal his identity. After a long pause, he finally came up with "Qin Hao".
Lin Shuang got angry just looking at him like that.
Qin Ce nodded slightly in response.
Zhang Zhe hadn't expected Qin Ce to come. If he had known he was coming, he wouldn't have come. It was really embarrassing.
Before long, almost everyone had arrived, and the huge hall was nearly full.
Qin Ce was sitting there too conspicuously, and many female employees looked over and whispered among themselves.
Especially those in Qiao Xing's group, who didn't like Qiao Xing much to begin with, felt even more resentful now that they saw her husband was handsome.
"What's the use of being handsome? He's all looks and no substance." Someone muttered quietly, but Qiao Xing still heard it.
Although she didn't name names, it was clear who she was referring to.
Qiao Xing ignored her, otherwise she would have really taken it personally.
Qin Ce didn't even glance at the woman, his eyes fixed straight ahead.
Someone chimed in, "How do you know it won't work? Have you even tried it?"
"You don't know, the more handsome a person is, the more likely they are to be a womanizer. Who knows how many times they've been sold? They might even be sick."
Qiao Xing couldn't stand it anymore and retorted, "How do you know so much? Have you encountered this before?"
The woman who spoke was from their group; to be honest, Qiao Xing didn't even know her name.
The woman looked to be in her early thirties, but she dressed in a youthful and innocent style, clearly the kind of person who doesn't want to admit her age.
The woman glanced at Qiao Xing, pinched the pendant on her ear, and said indifferently, "I was just saying, why are you so nervous? I didn't say anything to you."
Qiao Xing said, "I wasn't nervous. I just asked casually. I was just curious because you know so much."
"Little sister, you're still young, you'll understand later."
"That's true. I'm still ten years away from your age, so I should learn more from my seniors."
The woman's face darkened instantly upon hearing this, her expression turning furious. "What do you mean by 'not you'?"
The moment those words were spoken, tensions rose, and everyone around turned to look.
Qiao Xing looked completely innocent. "I didn't mean anything by it. Did I say something wrong? Aren't you ten years older than me?"
Qin Ce couldn't help but glance at her a few more times. This little woman had actually learned to be sarcastic and sarcastic; he didn't seem to have taught her that.
She retorted so harshly that the woman's face turned pale and then red, and she was so angry that she couldn't find a word to refute her, but she couldn't swallow her anger.
With so many people watching, wouldn't she lose face terribly if she gave up?
After a while, the woman swallowed her anger and laughed, "That's right. I'm getting old, unlike you young people. When I was your age, I was thinking about how to make money on my own. I didn't have the mind to date, let alone get married early."
"Oh, and now?"
The woman paused again, "What now?"
"Did I ask you if you made any money?"
"you……"
Qiao Xing then said, "You must have made a lot of money after working for so many years, right?"
The woman stared at Qiao Xing, both angry and annoyed.
Just then, someone tugged at her sleeve, reminding her, "Stop talking, President Liao is here."
The woman finally calmed down and stopped paying attention to Qiao Xing. There would be plenty of opportunities at work later, so she didn't need to argue with him here.
As General Manager Liao arrived, the hall gradually quieted down.
The annual meeting was hosted by Director He from the administration department and General Manager Liao's assistant, a man and a woman.
After the two went on stage, they picked up the microphones and began their speeches.
"Distinguished leaders."
"Distinguished guests..."
The two began their opening remarks in a back-and-forth exchange, followed by a predictably long and drawn-out process.
Subsequent speeches by leaders, performances, and awards for outstanding employees had nothing to do with Qiao Xing.
She only came for the prize draw.
Qiao Xing took out her phone and started Timmy. To get through this long annual meeting, she even brought a power bank.
Qin Ce glanced at her and could tell that she was really addicted to the game.
Do you need me to play with you?
Qiao Xing glanced at him in surprise, "Didn't you say you weren't going to play?"
"Anyway, I'm bored."
"Okay, then log in now."
Qin Ce took out his phone and downloaded the game on the spot.
When Qiao Xing saw that he hadn't even downloaded the game, he couldn't help but wonder if he was really as good as Yang Han said. Would the two of them get beaten up when they went in later?
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the game finally downloaded. Qiao Xing pulled him into the room, and the two started a happy and sweet duo game.
It's not just them who are playing; many people are playing games and watching videos to pass the time.
When it was Mr. Liao's turn to give a speech, he held the microphone, smiled, and said, "Dear colleagues..."
His gaze shifted and suddenly landed on the man in the center. His smile froze, and he almost blurted out, "President Qin?"
As soon as those two words were uttered, his colleagues who had been slacking off all looked up, staring at him with confusion or bewilderment.
Qin Ce was also taken aback. He looked up and met President Liao's gaze.
Sure enough, President Liao was looking at him.
Perhaps it was because Mr. Liao's gaze was too direct that many people turned around to look in the direction of his gaze.
But the scope is too broad, and I don't know who to consult.
Qiao Xing didn't notice that even though they were on higher ground, Qin Ce was still standing still.
She nudged Qin Ce with her elbow, "Why aren't you moving? Hurry up and catch up, they've come back to life!"
Qiao Xing, who had been losing all day, was now focused on victory; she desperately wanted to win!
Qin Ce withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and continued playing the mobile game.
Manager He on stage was also a little embarrassed, but he smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Mr. Liao, did you see someone you know?"
Mr. Liao snapped out of his daze, his face clearly showing excitement. "It's more than just an acquaintance; that's our company's most important partner. Who arranged this seat? Why did they put Mr. Qin there?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ce's forehead veins throbbed.
Manager He still didn't understand who this "General Manager Qin" was. She smiled and asked, "General Manager Liao, which one is General Manager Qin? I've never heard you mention him before?"
If you had told me earlier, I definitely would have been given a seat.
President Liao didn't expect Qin Ce to come. He had sent out an invitation but hadn't received a reply from Qin Ce, so he thought Qin Ce wasn't coming.
I didn't expect this guy to sneak in like this. Could it be that he wanted to test my attitude?
Thinking of this, General Manager Liao exclaimed in frustration, handed the microphone to Supervisor He, and strode off the stage towards Qin Ce.
All eyes were on General Manager Liao, their gazes following his every step.
Everyone wanted to know who this Mr. Qin was.
