Chapter 436 He doesn't usually laugh, unless he can't help it.
He Yu pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, it's settled then."
After saying that, she looked at Shen Boyan and said, "It seems that you are mainly in charge of development. Let's add each other on WeChat, and I can contact you directly if I have any questions in the future."
Qiao Xing glanced at Shen Boyan subtly, feeling that He Yu seemed to have taken a liking to him.
Shen Boyan didn't seem to have noticed. He calmly took out his phone, opened his WeChat, and said, "No problem."
He Yu added him on WeChat, and her smile became much warmer. "Let's sign the contract then. Take a look first, and if there are no problems, we'll sign it."
Shen Boyan picked up the contract and flipped through it. It was a legitimate development contract, almost identical, except for one clause: if the trial version failed, the entire prepayment would be refunded.
Actually, this clause is quite perverse. Whether you're satisfied or not is entirely up to them. If they default on their payments, you won't get the final payment, and you won't even get the advance payment.
However, it was only described as a functional trial version, not a finished product. If they were not satisfied, they could get a refund of their prepayment, and naturally, the finished product would not need to be made. If Li Ya wasn't sick, she wouldn't renege on her payment before the finished product was even released.
Shen Boyan pondered for a moment, picked up a pen, signed his name, and then took out the company's official seal from his pocket and stamped it.
Xiao Lin, the client, has already signed, so there's no need for her to sign again. He Yu handed him one of the copies and extended her hand, saying, "Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
Shen Boyan shook hands with her and said, "It's a pleasure working with you."
He Yu glanced at her watch and suggested, "It's almost noon, how about we have lunch together?"
Since the client had personally spoken, there was no reason to refuse. Moreover, normally, they should be the ones to offer to treat everyone. So Shen Boyan could only nod in agreement, "Okay, Mr. He will decide on the location."
"Let me think about it." He Yu rubbed his chin and thought for a while. "I know a nice place. Let's go there together."
"Then I'll trouble you to lead the way, Mr. He."
Qiao Xing learned another linguistic art: always call everyone "boss." Look, when Shen Boyan calls her "boss," He Yu smiles much more happily than when she calls her "assistant."
The two followed He Yu downstairs. She asked Shen Boyan if he could drive and then gave him the keys to the Mercedes.
The way He Yu looked at Shen Boyan, Qiao Xing really thought she must have fallen for him.
But Shen Boyan is only twenty-three or twenty-four, right? He Yu looks at least thirty, there's quite a big difference.
While Qiao Xing was lost in thought, Shen Boyan placed the contract on her and gestured for her to keep it safe.
Qiao Xing put away the contract, and the three of them went to a very high-end restaurant. Normally, they would be the ones to treat the guests to this meal.
Shen Boyan, who has to use his credit card to pay even five thousand yuan, probably can't afford this meal. Qiao Xing took out his phone to check his WeChat balance, which had more than 30,000 yuan, so it should be enough.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Qiao Xing handed the menu to He Yu, saying, "Ms. He, please order. This is our first time at this restaurant, and we don't know what dishes are good."
He Yu took the menu and said with a smile, "This Royal Curry Crab is good, as are this Spicy Stir-fried King Crab, Greek Roasted Lamb, and French Baked Scallops..."
She rattled off a whole list, and the waiter next to her asked, "Are you ordering all of these?"
He Yu asked the two of them, "Can we finish this?"
Qiao Xing nodded with an awkward smile, "If we can finish it, let's order everything. How about we order some vegetarian dishes too?"
He Yu ordered a few more vegetarian dishes. Qiao Xing had just glanced at the menu and realized that this meal would cost several thousand yuan.
As she was thinking, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was a message from Shen Boyan.
What he sent was: Do you have enough money?
Qiao Xing stole a glance at Shen Boyan beside her. He was chatting with He Yu and she didn't see him playing on his phone. Could it be that he was typing blindly under the table?
Qiao Xing secretly replied to him: That's enough.
He Yu chatted casually with Shen Boyan, asking him how old he was, where he was from, and whether he had a girlfriend, giving off a feeling of a blind date.
Shen Boyan might not be very sensitive to this, and he talked to her quite seriously.
But when he mentioned his hometown, Qiao Xing couldn't help but take a second look at him.
"My hometown is in Beijing."
He Yu was also surprised, "The capital?"
Shen Boyan nodded: "It's just outside the 18th Ring Road, so I'm not exactly a native of Beijing."
"That's not bad either. So why not develop your career in Beijing and come to Chongqing instead?"
“I was rebellious when I was in school. I didn’t apply to the university my family wanted me to attend, so we had a falling out and I ran away from home.”
"So, you've been in Chongqing since you went to university and haven't gone back?"
Shen Boyan said, "Pretty much, I've basically cut off contact with my family."
"Looks like you're quite temperamental. Haven't your family contacted you?"
Shen Boyan shook his head. "No."
"So your family all have pretty bad tempers."
"fine."
The two chatted casually, but when the dishes were served, He Yu didn't eat much, as she was still trying to find out about Shen Boyan's relationship status.
To Qiao Xing's surprise, he had actually dated a girlfriend, but they broke up before he graduated from university.
As for the reason for the breakup, no matter how He Yu tried to probe, Shen Boyan refused to say.
The less he said, the more gossipy He Yu became, and Qiao Xing's gossip instincts were also ignited. So much so that when she went to pay the bill, she didn't really care that the bill was over six thousand yuan.
After they finished eating, when the two came out, Qiao Xing couldn't wait to ask him, "How did you and your girlfriend break up?"
Shen Boyan glanced at her. "Why are you gossiping too?"
Qiao Xing grinned, "Everyone has a gossipy heart, so tell me quickly."
"I won't say."
"If you don't tell me, I'll go ask Tao Yang."
Shen Boyan paused, giving her a disdainful look. "Let's talk in the car."
"All right."
Just then, the bus arrived, and the two boarded. There weren't many people on the bus, so they walked to seats towards the back.
As soon as Qiao Xing sat down, she pressed him again, "Tell me quickly."
Shen Boyan sighed, "There's no particular reason. We dated for two months and only met three times. She couldn't stand it and dumped me."
Why?
"Because I need to read books and write code."
"that's all?"
“Hmm.” Shen Boyan thought for a moment and then added, “We broke up on the third time we met. She said she was going out on a date and booked a hotel room. I told her to wait for me to finish fixing the bug. She fell asleep while waiting, and when she woke up, she wanted to break up with me.”
Qiao Xing's lips twitched, and after holding back for a long time, she couldn't help but laugh.
Shen Boyan glanced at her sideways, "I knew it, you'd laugh when I told you."
"No, I don't usually laugh much, it's just that I couldn't help it."
Shen Boyan crossed his arms, turned to look out the window, and ignored her.
Everyone who knew about this laughed at him, which made him traumatized by dating.
