Chapter 27 Your wife is here to pick you up from get off work.
Qiao Xing frowned and shook her head, saying, "I'm sorry, Sister Yun, I can't help you this time."
"I promise this is the last time. I've been too busy lately and forgot to make up the attendance record. Can you please make do this time? I'll treat you to dinner."
Qiao Xing shook her head again, "It really can't be done. Manager He signed off on your salary and attendance. I really can't help you."
Wu Yun's face suddenly fell. "I've said all these nice things, and you're really not going to help me at all?"
"I really can't help you."
Wu Yun laughed and shook off Qiao Xing's arm. "Forget it, it's just a few thousand yuan. If I didn't want it, I wouldn't bother making the trip. If it were a few thousand yuan a month like yours, I wouldn't even bother."
As she spoke, she deliberately muttered, "Taking a trivial matter as an imperial edict, she really thinks she's a leader..."
It was as if she was saying it on purpose for Qiao Xing to hear, and then she walked away in her high heels.
Qiao Xing suddenly felt a little ironic that she had turned against her after he had helped her so many times before.
They barely interacted at work, and Qiao Xing didn't care if she turned her back on her; she just thought, "How can someone change their attitude so quickly?"
Lin Yu was like that, and now Wu Yun is the same. When there are no conflicts of interest, everyone can be good friends.
But once their interests are involved, they turn on you faster than flipping through a book.
Qiao Xing couldn't help but think of Qin Ce. Would he do the same thing in the future when his interests were at stake?
In the afternoon, Qiao Xing left work early. Instead of going home, she went to a shop that sells used electric vehicles to look at them.
Second-hand items are cheaper, many are 90% new, and most importantly, you can drive them away immediately without waiting.
The car dealership owner was a man in his forties. He was squatting at the door eating, holding a porcelain bowl. After Qiao Xing explained his purpose, he nonchalantly raised his chin.
"Look around as you like."
Qiao Xing nodded and went into the garage, which was full of electric vehicles, both new and old.
She spotted a nearly new electric scooter, pink with a hint of yellow, clearly driven by a woman, and immediately asked the owner how much it cost.
The shopkeeper glanced back and said, "If you want it, it's 1500. No bargaining. Take it or leave."
"I'll take it." Qiao Xing quickly took out her phone to pay; 1,500 was indeed not expensive.
Qiao Xing bought a car, and the boss gave her two helmets as a gift. Both were pink, but she swapped one of them for a black one.
She rode it around once, and the battery still had 50% left; there was nothing wrong with the bike.
So she used navigation to go to Qin Ce's company and began her first day picking him up from get off work.
During the traffic jam, the electric scooter fully demonstrated its advantages, allowing her to arrive at the S&C Building without any obstacles.
Qiao Xing looked at the building in front of her. She didn't expect that the entire building belonged to S&C. She thought it was just a small company, or like Weisheng, with at most a few floors.
So Qin Ce works at such a big company.
She parked her car and took out her phone to send a message to Qin Ce: I've arrived. How much longer until you get off work?
When Qin Ce saw the message, he raised an eyebrow. She really came to pick him up from get off work?
The image of himself sitting on the back of her electric scooter flashed through his mind, and he silently chose to ignore the message.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Xing called again a little while later.
Han Yan, who was standing next to him, noticed the nickname on his phone and laughed, "Why aren't you answering your wife's call?"
Qin Ce placed his phone face down on the table and continued browsing the documents in his hand.
For some reason, Han Yan walked to the window and looked down, and sure enough, he saw Qiao Xing sitting on the electric scooter downstairs.
He couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Han Yan turned around and said, "President Qin, your wife is here to pick you up from get off work. Aren't you going downstairs?"
"Shut up." Qin Ce slammed the file shut and glared at him with a cold gaze.
Han Yan was not intimidated at all and still smiled in a somewhat smug way, "If it gets any later, everyone at the company will have left work, and then everyone will see your wife coming to pick you up on her electric scooter."
A vein throbbed on Qin Ce's forehead.
Qiao Xing called him twice, but he didn't answer. She couldn't help but wonder, was he that busy?
Perhaps it's because I just started working, and there's a lot to do, so being busy is to be expected.
So she rode her electric scooter to a less conspicuous spot, took a picture, and sent it to him: "I'm waiting for you here. Come find me when you're done."
Unexpectedly, after sending the message, the other party replied very quickly: No need, I have to work overtime, you go back first.
Qiao Xing was stunned when she saw the message. Did she have to work overtime?
She sighed and replied: Are you going to be up very late? I'll wait for you.
Qin Ce: It will be very late, you should go back first.
His cold, impersonal words lay on the phone screen, and Qiao Xing could almost picture his expression.
Since he had said that, what could Qiao Xing say? He could only ride his newly bought electric scooter back home.
She bought groceries on the way back to Grandpa Qin's house, and cooked for just the two of them.
After all, the house still belongs to her uncle. If Grandpa Qin keeps going over there, her aunt will be unhappy. So she might as well just eat here.
Qiao Xing didn't stay long. After finishing her meal and cleaning up the dishes, she went home.
As soon as I entered the house, I overheard my uncle and aunt discussing the car.
Upon seeing Qiao Xing return, her aunt quickly beckoned her over, "Xingxing, come here quickly."
Qiao Xing changed her shoes and walked over quickly. "What's wrong, Auntie?"
Aunt held Qiao Xing's hand, looking like she was about to cry, "We went to see your cousin today. He was fined two thousand and will be detained for fifteen days."
Qiao Xing comforted her, saying, "It's only fifteen days; you'll be out soon."
My aunt wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then changed the subject, asking, "Has the accident from last night been resolved? How much compensation was paid?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xing subconsciously glanced at her uncle, who was peeling oranges with his head down and didn't look at her.
Qiao Xing looked away and said to his aunt, "We need to pay 150,000 yuan in compensation. Aunt and Uncle, can you find a way to share some of the burden?"
"So much money to pay?" My aunt was clearly a little guilty. "Where would we get that much money?"
Qiao Xing said, "Qin Ce just found a job, and my salary isn't high either. We really can't afford 150,000 yuan. Yesterday, we gave my uncle 200,000 yuan, which is all we have left."
My aunt chuckled awkwardly and said, "Why don't you think of a way to borrow some money from your friends?"
Qiao Xing thought for a moment and nodded, "We'll try our best, but we're still short 100,000 yuan if we want to buy this house."
"this……"
Auntie looked at Qiao Xing with a troubled expression; clearly, she wanted the 500,000 yuan and didn't want to lose money.
Qiao Xing could tell what her aunt was thinking just by looking at her like that, so she said, "Qin Ce's car has been towed away. If you don't do something about it, wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?"
My aunt is still hesitating.
"How about this, you guys contribute 100,000 yuan as compensation, and we'll chip in another 50,000 yuan to give to the car owner. This way, we can show Qin Ce our sincerity."
Auntie said anxiously, "Xingxing, let's discuss this again. Qin Ce hasn't come back yet."
Qiao Xing said, "Aunt, Qin Ce and I have only been married for a few days. If this car were mine, it would be fine, but it belongs to Qin Ce after all. I'm thinking of you and Uncle, so you should think of me too."
