Chapter 403 was indeed a bit greedy.
The next day, Qiao Xing didn't get up until nine o'clock in the morning. She stretched and saw that no one was next to her.
When they went to the living room outside, breakfast was laid out on the table, but Qin Ce was nowhere to be seen.
He left her a note saying he had already gone to work.
Qiao Xing thought about it and decided to set the alarm clock back. It was too much to expect someone to cook for you when you're not working and are staying home.
After breakfast, she went to the company to resign. The HR didn't say anything and quickly processed her resignation and paid her wages.
When they went to the office to pack their things, apart from Zhao Yan and Lin Shuang, no one else reacted.
Lin Shuang held her hand, repeatedly urging her to attend his wedding.
Qiao Xing was a little surprised to hear the word "marriage." "You're planning to get married?"
"Yes, we're getting married at the end of the year."
"That's great, congratulations! Did you buy the house?" Qiao Xing still remembered her house worth tens of millions, and hearing about it now still shocked her.
I've never seen so much money in my life.
Lin Shuang's lips immediately pursed, looking rather unhappy. "We bought it. We adopted his plan, buying two sets, one for his parents, but the bride price was increased by 500,000."
"Isn't that great? It seems Zhang Zhe still cares about you."
"Tch, what's the use?" Lin Shuang still harbored a lot of resentment towards him, especially after hearing her colleagues' comments about Qiao Xing these past few days, which made her even more resentful.
She agreed because things had gone too far before, and Zhang Zhe almost broke up with her.
Although Lin Shuang is ambitious, she is self-aware. There is no doubt that Zhang Zhe is not as good as Qin Ce, but in all aspects, Zhang Zhe is not bad. He is not the best, but he is better than the worst.
If they really break up, she might not be able to find someone better than him.
Qiao Xing didn't want to get involved in their private affairs, so she gave them a few perfunctory words, said goodbye, and left the company with her belongings.
Remembering what we talked about yesterday about taking the driving test, she recalled that there seemed to be a driving license shop nearby.
So Qiao Xing left his things at the front desk, went to look around, and actually found a driving school.
I inquired about the price; it was 3,600 yuan, which was just right for her salary.
She decisively signed up, spent more than half an hour completing the formalities, and received her student ID.
Then he took out his phone, took a picture, and sent it to Qin Ce: I've already registered, and I'll start studying for the first subject tomorrow.
Qin Ce: Keep it up!
Qiao Xing pursed her lips. Before, she was nagging him like he was dying, but now she actually replied with just two words.
She typed again: Do you think I can pass the exam in three months?
One minute later, Qin Ce replied: It should be possible.
Qiao Xing: Okay, I'll try my best, and I won't have a job for the next three months.
Qin Ce simply replied with a few words: "I'll take care of you."
As expected, chatting on a mobile phone has its flaws; it feels cold and impersonal, giving the impression of being perfunctory.
In the S&C conference room, everyone was in a meeting, but Qin Ce was sitting there playing on his phone.
The phone kept buzzing, but no one dared to say anything; they all gritted their teeth and continued the meeting.
After the meeting ended, before he had even left, Han Yan suddenly leaned over and asked in a ghostly voice, "Chatting with our boss's wife?"
Qin Ce paused, looked up at him, and asked, "Did she come to the company yesterday?"
Han Yan's smile faltered slightly. "Yes, yes, you've come to the company. Is there a problem?"
"You even added her on WeChat?"
"You know that?"
Qin Ce glanced at him coldly, "You were standing under the surveillance cameras, how could I not know?"
"Oh, I was just about to tell you about this, but she wouldn't let me, so I'm torn about whether to say it or not."
Qin Ce stood up, put his phone away, and said, "It's because of Wei Sheng."
Han Yan chuckled. "She told you that?"
"No, I can guess, but this Weisheng..." Qin Ce frowned slightly, and the rest of his words were intriguing.
Han Yan understood what he meant. "Wei Sheng is indeed a bit greedy. He wanted to get involved in the 731 project and wanted joint development rights. Now that our company has basically stabilized, I think we should withdraw from their company as soon as possible. I'm afraid they might try to take over our business later."
They have ideas for other projects as well, not just Project 731.
Because Qin Ce initially said he wanted to cooperate and operate the business, he wanted to truly integrate with S&C, not to merge with the company. If that were all, it would be fine. They wanted to participate in all of S&C's business, but they still harbored other intentions.
If people like them really manage to understand all the business operations, they might turn on their master.
"No need. The reason I wanted absolute control in the first place was to guard against these kinds of situations. Let's see. If they continue to be ambitious, it won't be as simple as just withdrawing investment."
Han Yan nodded thoughtfully, "That's true. Now that you have shares in their company, withdrawing your investment would be quite troublesome."
To put it bluntly, Qin Ce now has absolute control over Weisheng, and based on that alone, he has countless ways to bring their company down.
I don't know what they were thinking. They dared to sign this agreement, but then they disobeyed and acted so rebelliously. Did they think Qin Ce was young and therefore easy to manipulate?
After thoroughly understanding C&S's business, then find a way to get back the equity and start my own business.
Looking at it now, it's very likely that this is their plan; if they're even more ambitious, they could simply swallow C&S up.
...
After registering, Qiao Xing went back to the company to get her things, took a taxi home, and then took out her phone to start watching videos.
You need to watch videos to learn for the first part of the exam, and you have to watch 12 hours of videos before you can take the exam.
Watching the video, she felt like she was back in school. She wasn't particularly keen on getting a driver's license, so as she watched, she started to doze off.
I don't know when I fell asleep on the sofa.
When she woke up again, she was startled by the sound of the door opening. She sat up from the sofa in surprise and saw that Qin Ce had returned.
She rubbed her eyes and looked at her phone; the screen was black. It was already past 7 p.m.
"You're back?" Qiao Xing greeted him guiltily, because she hadn't cooked while she was asleep.
Qin Ce glanced at her sleepy face, tossed his car keys onto the shoe cabinet, and walked towards her. "Are you asleep?"
"I fell asleep while watching videos... I haven't cooked yet."
Qin Ce sat down next to her, ignoring the second half of her sentence, "Where did you see?" Then, realizing it was inappropriate, he changed his words to, "Where did you learn?"
Qiao Xing pursed her lips, looking at him awkwardly.
Seeing this, Qin Ce guessed as well, "Didn't you remember?"
"I did remember one thing."
"Don't rush, take your time. You'll remember it after practicing the questions a few more times."
Qiao Xing nodded, stood up and said, "I'll go cook. You sit down for a while."
Qin Ce grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to sit on the sofa. "You've got such a beautiful manicure, what if you knock it off? Don't get it done."
“I had forgotten about it until you mentioned it. I’ll go get it tomorrow; it’s too inconvenient.”
Qin Ce played with her fingers. "They look pretty. Wear them."
Every time he looked at her fingernails, it was as if he were looking at some rare and exotic object, as if he had never seen the world before.
"Haven't you seen other girls' nail art before?"
Qin Ce pondered for a moment and said, "I've seen it. I thought it grew naturally, painted all sorts of colors..." He changed the last half of his sentence from "ugly" to "very beautiful."
