Chapter 340 You scared me to death!
The group of bodyguards worked through the night, finally finishing moving around 5 a.m.
Looking inside the house now, it was completely empty; even the New Year pictures on the walls had been torn off, as if no one had ever lived there.
Old Zheng even had the house cleaned before leaving the room with his men.
"Young Master, we'll take our leave now."
Qin Ce stared at him without saying a word.
Old Zheng bowed slightly, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
He Fen also stood until midnight, just to show off. Seeing that Qin Ce was about to leave, she hurriedly asked, "Xiao Ce, when can I go to work?"
"what ever."
Qin Ce left without looking back after saying those words.
He Fen looked delighted and said to her retreating figure, "Then I'll go tomorrow!"
Qin Ce did not respond to her.
When they got downstairs, the truck that had been loading the furniture had already left, but the old man was still standing in front of a Mercedes, seemingly waiting for Qin Ce.
"grandfather."
Qin Ce came up to him and greeted him.
The old man gave him a deep look, as if he had a lot to say, but in the end he only said, "You and Xingxing must take good care of yourselves. Grandpa will be waiting for you in Kyoto."
Qin Ce nodded slightly.
After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and got into the car.
Qin Ce stood there, watching the cars leave the residential area one after another.
Only after he had completely disappeared did he get into his car and return to Tianxiang Shuiyuan.
It's six in the morning, and he's not going to sleep.
When they entered the bedroom, Qiao Xing was still asleep. Perhaps the air conditioning was too hot, because she had kicked off the blankets.
Qin Ce bent down, picked up the blanket, and covered her with it. He then sat by the bed for a while.
It was just getting light outside the window, and the outline of the person on the bed was faintly visible.
He stretched out his slender fingers, but withdrew them just before they touched Qiao Xing's cheek.
Will you forgive me?
The voice echoed in the bedroom, as if the speaker were muttering to himself.
Qiao Xing was asleep and couldn't hear him. She turned over and kicked off the blanket again.
Qin Ce sighed and covered her with the blanket again.
This time, Qiao Xing woke up groggily. She lifted the covers, rubbed her eyes, realized something, and reached out to touch the bed beside her.
I didn't touch the person, but I did touch his leg.
Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, then quickly propped herself up on the bed and carefully turned her head to look.
The room was dimly lit, but the man's figure was still visible.
"You scared me to death! What are you doing sitting here?"
Qiao Xing reached for the light switch, then noticed he was dressed neatly and asked suspiciously, "You didn't just get back, did you?"
"Um."
Qiao Xing picked up her phone and glanced at the time: 6:30. "So, you didn't go to sleep, did you?"
"No."
Where have you been?
Qin Ce was silent for a moment before saying, "I just saw the old man off."
Qiao Xing froze again, a sense of emptiness spreading through her heart. "Has Grandpa already gone back?"
"Um."
Qiao Xing was a little disappointed. She had wanted to see him off, but he left in the middle of the night.
Qin Ce held her hand and whispered, "We'll meet again. Don't be sad. I'll make you breakfast."
Qiao Xing grabbed him, "You should get some sleep. You still have to drive to work. Don't drive while you're tired. I'll do it."
"Your injury hasn't healed yet, lie down, I'll do it, it'll only take a few minutes."
Qin Ce pressed her back down and got up to walk outside.
"Qin Ce... Ouch!"
Qiao Xing got out of bed and chased after him, stopping him in the living room. "Qin Ce, stop messing around and go to sleep. You can't keep staying up so late."
"I'm not sleepy."
Qiao Xing stared at him intently for a long time.
She tentatively asked, "Is something on your mind? You've looked worried these past few days. Did something upset you?"
Qin Ce remained silent for a moment.
He pulled Qiao Xing's hand away. "It's just some work-related stuff. Don't worry, I'm fine."
Qiao Xing opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but then he said, "Go back to your bedroom and lie down. I promise you, I'll make breakfast and then go to sleep, okay?"
Seeing his firm attitude, Qiao Xing didn't press the matter further. "Alright then, you must go to sleep after breakfast."
"good."
He turned and went to the kitchen. Qiao Xing watched his back and sighed with worry.
Qin Ce didn't make anything too elaborate. He used the free-range eggs He Fen gave him and the ginseng Yang Han brought to boil a few eggs for Qiao Xing. It only took about ten minutes to prepare.
After breakfast, Qiao Xing pulled him to the bedroom and watched him sleep.
Qin Ce twitched the corner of his mouth, watching her standing there, unsure whether to lie down or sit.
"Why don't you go out first?"
Qiao Xing plopped down on the edge of the bed. "I'll watch you sleep, and I'll leave after you fall asleep."
"...I can't sleep with you watching me."
"How could I not be able to sleep? You haven't slept all night." Qiao Xing pushed his chest and forcefully pushed him down. "Okay, go to sleep now."
"At least let me change my clothes, okay?"
He was still wearing his shirt; how could he possibly sleep?
Qiao Xing hesitated for a moment, but couldn't do anything about it, so she stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go out first. Don't look at your phone, go to sleep."
When she went out, she also took the laptop with her to prevent him from secretly working overtime in the room.
Qin Ce sat up and rubbed his temples helplessly.
Qiao Xing went to the living room sofa, logged into her WeChat account, opened Gu Ling's chat window, but hadn't sent any messages.
I checked the group chat again, but there were no messages. It seemed like they weren't chatting in the group at all.
She opened the document and continued reading what she hadn't finished yesterday.
After watching for two hours, she sneaked into the bedroom to see if Qin Ce was asleep.
She carefully pushed open the door, but didn't see anyone on the bed.
Qiao Xing was startled. Just as he was about to go in, he heard his voice coming from the sofa in the corner.
"Later, I have something to do this morning."
"Your idea is good, but the planning is flawed and won't meet the data valuation. Either cut the budget or cancel the collaboration. It's up to you."
"It's unnecessary. If their planning skills are lacking, no amount of revisions will help unless they find a new planner."
Qiao Xing paused in his motion to push the door open; he hadn't been sleeping after all.
He was still on the phone inside.
"Ignore those few channels. The domestic market has always been a sunny one. Now that we've entered the fray, it's inevitable that they'll make a move. Just keep a close eye on those major channels and don't let them find any loopholes."
“Ou Yuan? Their company isn’t small, yet they haven’t even set up a risk management team, but they dare to take the risk of developing a large-scale game.”
"This shows how poor the company's management and decision-making are. If this game fails to pass testing, their company will face bankruptcy, yet they're asking for 20 million. If this game fails, who will bear the loss?"
Qin Ce remained silent for a long time, seemingly listening to what they were saying on the other end.
After a moment, he spoke, “Tell them there are two options: cut the second half and start over, unconditionally cooperate with any suggestions for modification, and we will be the exclusive distributor after the game is released, with profit sharing; the second option is to acquire it.”
Qiao Xing was stunned by these words. Could an assistant really say such things?
