Chapter 257 She and President Liao are having an affair
Of course, the title of outstanding employee has nothing to do with Qin Ce.
However, Qin Ce only decided to have President Liao change the shopping card reward to 100,000 yuan in cash when he heard her name mentioned as an outstanding employee. This money was also paid by Qin Ce.
Qin Ce's initial goal was simply to get her to draw that car.
The prizes for the first to tenth place winners in the lucky draw at this year's annual meeting were all funded by Qin Ce.
It could be said that those who were dissatisfied also benefited from Qiao Xing's success.
But Qiao Xing was unaware of all this. Anyway, when she returned, she heard people talking about her, the chosen one, and they felt there was something fishy going on.
Even more outrageous is that some people speculated that she was having an affair with President Liao.
Qiao Xing looked in the direction of the voice and saw it was the same woman from before.
That woman, relying on the fact that she was in the same department as Qiao Xing and knew a lot about her "shady dealings," spread rumors about her.
Now that you mention it, it does seem to make sense.
“She had a dispute with Wu Yun over attendance, and the next day she was transferred to the sales department. After a few days there, Wu Yun resigned.”
"Who has the power to make Wu Yun resign? Besides General Manager Liao, there probably isn't anyone else."
"Yes, and there's also this year's outstanding employee award. No matter how you look at it, she didn't stand a chance, but not only was she selected, her bonus was also increased to 100,000. In all my years at the company, when have I ever seen a 100,000 bonus?"
"Wow, those two..."
"Keep your voice down, don't you want to work here anymore?"
“But Mr. Liao’s child is already in junior high school, this…”
The group exchanged glances, their faces filled with disdain, and of course, jealousy.
For a newcomer who has been here for less than two years to have the ability to hook up with General Manager Liao is quite an achievement.
Hearing these words, Qiao Xing felt a sudden heaviness in the car keys in her pocket.
It was during an employee activity, and many people were participating in games and winning prizes.
So, in the noisy hall, the gossiping voices of these few people weren't very noticeable.
But people nearby heard it and gathered around to watch the drama unfold.
A group of people huddled together, guessing what was going on, but no one noticed that Qiao Xing was standing behind them.
Someone noticed her and nudged the arm of the person next to her.
Everyone subtly hinted to each other, and having all noticed Qiao Xing's presence, they all fell silent.
Qiao Xing looked at the woman in the middle, "Why did you stop talking? I haven't heard enough yet."
The woman was caught red-handed spreading rumors, and her face didn't look too good. She forced a smile and said, "Everyone was just joking, don't take it seriously."
Qiao Xing said, "That's why I'm letting you continue. I'm not that petty. Say a few more words so I can have a good laugh too."
The woman choked for a moment.
People around Qiao Xing advised her, "Don't be angry, it's nothing. If this hadn't happened, you wouldn't be angry."
Qiao Xing glanced at the person trying to persuade her, and she found it somewhat amusing.
"So, you're saying I can only get angry if this is true?"
"Look at you, why are you getting so hung up on this? Is that what I meant?"
"So what do you mean?"
The man was getting a little angry. "You can't even take a joke? You're so petty. Girl, don't be so serious."
Qiao Xing couldn't hold back any longer. She took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Then why don't you just die?"
The man's expression changed, and anger visibly surfaced on his face. "What did you say?"
Qiao Xing said, "I was just joking, why are you taking it so seriously? Besides, even if I told you to die, you wouldn't actually die, so why are you angry?"
The man was also enraged, glaring at Qiao Xing through gritted teeth, "Do you think this is funny?"
Qiao Xing chuckled. "I think it's quite funny. Don't you find it funny?"
"You..." The woman's face flushed with anger, and she couldn't help but retort, "So you've latched onto a big shot, huh? So arrogant, do you really think you can do whatever you want in the company?"
"Be careful, the other party's wife might come knocking on your door one day. See if others will speak up for you. Don't end up losing your job and your reputation too."
Qiao Xing's anger was also rising. She admitted that they were dissatisfied with the outstanding employee award, but spreading rumors about her and General Manager Liao was going too far.
Just as she was about to speak, a hand suddenly landed on her shoulder. "What are you doing here?"
Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and saw Qin Ce standing beside her.
She didn't want Qin Ce to argue with these women; it would be too embarrassing. So she said, "It's okay, we're just chatting."
"Yes, we're chatting. You must be Qiao Xing's husband, right? Your wife is so beautiful, you'd better keep a close eye on her, or she might run off with someone else one day," the woman said with a smile, as if joking.
Qin Ce glanced at the woman who had spoken, put his arm around Qiao Xing's shoulder, and pulled her into his arms. He said politely, "Well, thank you for the compliment, but my suggestion is that you brush your teeth before you speak next time."
The woman was speechless for a moment, then said irritably, "I was just trying to remind you, how could you..."
Qin Ce interrupted her, "If you're really too free, you can go pick up the trash on the street outside."
"you……"
Qin Ce didn't continue arguing with her. He pulled Qiao Xing away and left, ignoring the person behind him who was so angry she was about to jump up and down.
"What kind of people are these?!"
"Birds of a feather flock together, you too. If he likes being cuckolded, let him be. Why worry about it?"
Upon hearing what was said next, Qiao Xing turned to go back, but Qin Ce pulled her back.
Don't go.
Qiao Xing said irritably, "Are these people just bored and have nothing better to do? They actually said that I'm having an affair with President Liao. How did they come up with that? Even a fool would know that President Liao isn't blind, so why would he be interested in me!"
Qin Ce paused, giving her a cryptic glance. "Are you saying I'm blind?"
Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head. "That's not what I meant. I meant, what kind of person is President Liao? He's a successful businessman, such a big boss. He wouldn't ruin his reputation for something like this. I'm not some kind of celestial being."
"Oh dear..." Qiao Xing didn't know how to explain. She was so angry that she lost her mind and couldn't think straight.
"Alright, stop explaining. There's no need to lower yourself to their level. Take me to see your car."
Qin Ce pulled her outside; there was no need to continue attending the annual meeting.
Qiao Xing said dejectedly, "It's not a matter of whether I'm angry or not. If this gets out, the false will become the true. How am I supposed to work here in the company after that?"
She just won first prize and the bonus, and she wants to contribute something to the company.
Furthermore, she was also afraid that rumors would spread, and Qin Ce might overthink it and misunderstand that she had actually done *that* with President Liao...
Qin Ce said calmly, "No, it won't happen."
"How could it not be? Don't underestimate the power of rumors."
Qin Ce glanced at her sullen face, placed his finger on her head, and said earnestly, "I said I wouldn't, trust me."
Qiao Xing suddenly felt a pang of fear and subconsciously looked up at Qin Ce.
How do you know you won't?
