Chapter 320 A Series of Bizarre Moves
After get off work, Bai Yi came to call Qiao Xing to leave work.
Anyway, everyone in the department knows that the two have a good relationship. Now Bai Yi doesn't avoid suspicion anymore. Besides their good relationship, Bai Yi is also Qiao Xing's cousin-in-law.
Qiao Xing packed her things and left work. She glanced at Zhao Yan again and asked, "Xiao Zhao, aren't you leaving get off work?"
Zhao Yan quickly said, "Ah, I'll leave later, you guys go home first."
Seeing how hard the interns were working, Qiao Xing felt a little embarrassed.
Bai Yi said, "Alright, let's go."
After thinking about it, Qiao Xing decided to pick up her bag and leave work together.
After they came out, Bai Yi asked her, "How was that intern?"
"That's good, but we'll have to see how they perform in the future."
Many new employees are very enthusiastic when they first join the company, but they don't behave the same way after a while.
Bai Yi nodded, "Yes, as long as you don't mind the trouble."
"It's no trouble at all."
"But I see you've already handed over the project proposal to her?"
Qiao Xing quickly explained, "Oh no, it's just asking her to do some market research."
Bai Yi thought for a moment before saying, "I'm not saying you did something wrong, but you're mentoring an intern, and you've already given her a project to do right away. Aren't you afraid she'll learn it and steal your job?"
"Um, what should I do?"
"Haven't you ever done an internship before? How did the person who mentored you handle it?"
Qiao Xing recalled her internship days. The person who mentored her made her run errands and do odd jobs all day long, such as buying meals or coffee. She did odd jobs for three months and learned nothing.
Bai Yi could tell from her reaction.
Bai Yi said, "I'm just saying this to you, I'm not against the way you lead people."
Qiao Xing was silent for a moment before nodding, "I understand."
Bai Yi patted her on the shoulder, "You've only been in the workforce for less than two years, you have a lot to learn, take it slow, everyone goes through this."
"There are no real friends in the company, especially among people in the same department. Everyone is in competition, so few people will sincerely mentor newcomers to create rivals for themselves. Sometimes you shouldn't be so honest."
Qiao Xing listened to Bai Yi's words and fell into deep thought.
She was too laid-back before, disliked intrigue, and didn't understand interpersonal relationships, so she was transferred to this department.
However, it was a blessing in disguise that he met Bai Yi.
Before Bai Yi became the team leader, he was just a nobody. Now that he's known Bai Yi for a while, Qiao Xing has realized that Bai Yi is no ordinary person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stood out from so many people to become the team leader of the planning department.
As the two walked to the company entrance, Bai Yi received a phone call from Wang Ye.
"You can take him back. I have something to do in a bit."
"I really suspect now that you married me just so I could take care of your child," Wang Ye complained on the phone. Before, she at least made up some excuses, but now that they've gotten their marriage certificate, she doesn't even bother with excuses anymore. She just sends him the time and tells him to pick her up on time.
Bai Yi said, "Isn't he your child now too?"
“It’s…” Wang Ye wanted to retort, but seeing Linlin glaring at him with a defiant look, he swallowed his words. “Alright, alright, I’m hanging up.”
Bai Yi hung up the phone and turned to look at Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing was also looking at her.
"Team Leader Bai, have you received your aunt's betrothal gifts?"
Bai Yi shook her head. "No, she said she'd give it to me after she sells the house and moves in with me."
"How could she do this?" Qiao Xing couldn't stand it anymore; this aunt was really doing something outrageous all the time.
In a normal family, the couple would be too embarrassed to go over to each other's homes right after getting their marriage certificate, right?
Bai Yi laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm more than happy that she's going to help me take care of the kids."
"She knows about Linlin?"
"I don't know, but we'll find out sooner or later."
Qiao Xing gave Bai Yi a strange look. Judging from her confident demeanor, she might actually be able to win over her aunt.
However, on the other hand, Wang Ye has also been married before. Although he has no children, he is still a second-time husband. Even if his aunt has objections, she can't say anything about it, right?
Given Wang Ye's circumstances, his aunt knew in her heart that he was not a good match for Bai Yi in any way.
Just then, the car Bai Yi had called arrived. She opened the car door, turned around and said to Qiao Xing, "I'm leaving now. You should hurry over. Your husband is waiting for you across the street."
After watching Bai Yi leave, Qiao Xing also walked across the street.
Sure enough, she saw Qin Ce waiting for her in the car.
After getting in the car, Qin Ce said, "I'll take you to apply for your driver's license tomorrow."
Qiao Xing snapped out of her daze. "What?"
Qin Ce glanced at her. "Taking your driver's license test, are you preoccupied?"
"It's nothing, Team Leader Bai just asked me to mentor an intern, and she just chatted with me about it."
Qiao Xing told him the general outline of what had happened, then she hesitated, "Does this mean I have to make her do odd jobs tomorrow?"
"It depends on you. Truly capable people don't care about these things."
Qiao Xing twitched the corner of her mouth. "Then do you think I have the ability?"
Qin Ce looked her up and down, then pondered, "Do you want the truth or a lie?"
"...Don't say anything more, I know my own limitations."
Qin Ce said, "The ability I'm talking about isn't just work ability; you also need to work on your cunning."
"What kind of scheme is that?"
Qin Ce stopped driving. He thought for a moment and said, "Then let me ask you, if you asked her to do market research for you, and the results weren't ideal, what would you do?"
Qiao Xing thought for a moment, "Help her correct it?"
Qin Ce stared at her for a few seconds, then he wanted to laugh, but he raised his hand to rub the tip of his nose, hiding the fleeting smile.
"Then tell me what to do?"
"Of course, it's to praise her."
Qiao Xing frowned. "Sorry, I didn't understand."
"So you still need to practice. Okay, let's go home." Qin Ce didn't say much more, started the car, and drove her home.
Qiao Xing pondered his words the whole way home, and as they neared home, she vaguely understood what he meant.
After returning home, Qin Ce went to the kitchen to cook.
Qiao Xing couldn't win against him, so he had to give up.
Before leaving, Qin Ce suddenly said, "It seems we're out of cooking wine."
Qiao Xing immediately said, "I'll go buy it!"
She ran out, grabbed her phone, and went downstairs. There was a convenience store downstairs, just a few steps away.
Qiao Xing was running fast, and when he turned a corner in the stairwell, he suddenly bumped into someone coming up.
The two collided, and Qiao Xing took two steps back. She covered her forehead, looked up, and her expression changed when she saw the other person.
"Lin Qiang, you're not..."
Lin Qiang was wearing loose clothes on the outside, and you could vaguely see his detention center uniform underneath, so he had escaped from the detention center.
Lin Qiang grabbed her collar and said fiercely, "Damn it, you're all messing with me, aren't you?"
Qiao Xing's face turned pale. She struggled to run away, but Lin Qiang pulled out a knife from somewhere and held it to Qiao Xing's neck.
"If you fucking yell, I'll slit your throat!"
Qiao Xing opened her mouth, then silently closed it again, shrinking her neck and looking at him in fear. "What are you going to do?"
