Chapter 482 Learning by Stealing Skills
Qiao Xing scratched her head, but before she could say anything, the old lady stuffed an orange into her hand. "Try it. It was just picked from the orchard. It's very fresh."
"Okay, thank you, Grandma."
The old lady gestured for her to sit down, saying, "Sit down, sit down, don't stand."
Qiao Xing sat down, looked around the room, and asked, "Is it just you and Mr. Tang living here?"
"Yes, my eldest grandson moved in after my husband passed away. He said he wanted to take care of me. But look at my health, I don't need anyone to take care of me. I'm the one who should be taking care of him."
Although the old lady said that, she couldn't hide the happiness in her eyes. At this age, there is probably nothing happier than having children and grandchildren by your side.
Most elderly people feel lonely. Even if they have many friends outside during the day, they still miss their children when they return home at night.
Qiao Xing smiled and said, "Grandma is in good health and looks only in her fifties. It's a very happy thing to be taken care of by Grandma. Maybe she can even take Mr. Tang's children to school in the future."
These words made the old lady laugh heartily. "This girl really knows how to talk. Grandma is seventy-two years old this year, not just fifty-something."
"You can't tell at all. It's true that only age matters. Grandma has a young mindset, so she looks young too."
Qin Ce twitched his lips, wondering if she had secretly learned from Yang Han. Now, with that mouth of hers, she could coax even the sparrows in the sky down.
The old lady's face was all wrinkled from smiling, and she warmly took Qiao Xing's hand, "Grandma is so embarrassed by what you're saying, good child, what's your name?"
"Grandma, my name is Qiao Xing."
"Oh... Qiao girl, are you married?"
"..."
Qiao Xing glanced at Qin Ce beside her, "Grandma, he's married."
The old lady was quite regretful, and then glanced at Qin Ce beside her, naturally realizing that Qin Ce was Qiao Xing's husband.
"Great, great! The young man is so lucky, unlike my eldest grandson, who gives me so much worry."
These words sound familiar; it seems Grandpa Qin said something similar.
Qiao Xing smiled and said, "Mr. Tang just hasn't found his other half yet. When they do, everything will fall into place naturally."
"That's what he told me too. So, do you think I introduced him to so many great girls, and none of them were meant to be?"
"Fate is something you can't force, you can't rush it, Grandma."
The old lady sighed wistfully, "How can I not be in a hurry? Other people are already holding their great-grandchildren, and he hasn't even gotten married yet. He's even embarrassed to go out and dance in the square."
Qiao Xing twitched the corner of his mouth. What a strange competitive mentality.
Tang Xi came out of the house carrying dishes and said helplessly, "Grandma, what were you talking about with my friend again?"
"What are we talking about? Of course, we're talking about your marriage. I was just thinking of having Qiao introduce you to her friends."
"Please don't make things difficult for Qiao Xing. If she had someone, wouldn't she have introduced me to someone?"
The old lady glanced at Qiao Xing and asked, "Good boy, do you know any girls like you?"
"ah……"
Qiao Xing was stunned and didn't know how to answer. If she asked if there were any good girls, Qiao Xing might have a hard time answering. But someone like her... there were plenty of them.
Tang Xi said, "Okay, let's stop chatting and eat first. I've already prepared the dishes."
Qiao Xing quickly added, "Yes, yes, let's eat first, and then we'll talk."
The old lady lost interest, glared resentfully at Tang Xi, and got up to call Qiao Xing to go eat.
At the dinner table, the old lady was very enthusiastic towards Qiao Xing, while Qin Ce was practically invisible. It was clear that she was really worried about Tang Xi's marriage.
Tang Xi shook his head helplessly at the intimacy between the two.
He served Qin Ce some food, saying, "Come on, Brother Qin, eat more. We haven't even had a proper get-together yet, and you're already leaving."
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"You'll have to treat me next time. How's my cooking?"
"Not bad, it's obvious you cook often."
Grandma Tang suddenly interjected, "He likes to cook. When he was in elementary school, he would learn to cook for us from the dishes on TV. He also loves to study these things. Qiao girl, my grandson is a good person. If you find a nice girl, you must not forget my grandson."
Qiao Xing almost choked on the food in her mouth. She swallowed it with difficulty and forced a smile, "Okay, I'll pay more attention."
"Okay, let's exchange WeChat contacts so you can contact Grandma directly later."
Qiao Xing was even more surprised that the old lady could use WeChat. She quickly took out her phone and added Grandma Tang on WeChat.
What's surprising is that the old lady's profile picture is quite trendy; it's a selfie of her wearing a big sun hat, a red scarf, sunglasses, and making a peace sign.
She wanted to check out the old lady's WeChat Moments, but it wouldn't look good in front of her, so she put her phone away after adding her as a friend.
After dinner, the old lady pulled Qiao Xing to the sofa to chat, while Qin Ce and Tang Xi went to the study.
As soon as they entered, Tang Xi said, "My grandmother seems to really like your wife."
Qin Ce nodded slightly, "Older people tend to like her more."
"I can see that now. No wonder Grandpa Qin tried to match you two up. She seems very innocent and quite nice."
To elaborate, she is simple-minded, has no bad intentions, is virtuous and can make the elderly happy. Marrying her would be a good idea.
In fact, when a man reaches a certain level, he doesn't have many requirements for his partner.
Objectively speaking, Qiao Xing is very beautiful. In today's society, too many beautiful women treat their beauty as a form of capital, and their ambition and vision are much greater than those of ordinary women.
They always believe that with their looks, they deserve a better life and a higher status. Tang Xi has seen too many women like this.
Therefore, he doesn't have a good impression of some pretty women now, let alone some tech beauties.
Moreover, Tang Xi was afraid of ambitious women, as they would cause him unnecessary trouble.
Qin Ce said, "I'll introduce you to someone next time."
Tang Xi couldn't help but laugh. "Then I believe you. I think it's good. Next time my grandma urges me, I'll have her urge you."
Qin Ce glanced at him sideways, "Then forget it."
Tang Xi laughed heartily, "Alright, enough joking around, let's get down to business."
He gestured for Qin Ce to sit down, and Qin Ce readily accepted.
Tang Xi took a document from the desk and handed it to him. "There's a project here, a newly issued document, about digital surveillance and virtual reality. It just so happens that your company does this. You can take a look."
Qin Ce flipped through the document and got a general understanding of what the project was.
It involves virtualizing the city, with the main purpose of connecting all the city's surveillance and security facilities.
To create a virtual city that perfectly replicates real-world buildings, all you need is a single system that monitors the entire city, down to the individual residential buildings and every floor.
There are also security systems that can immediately and accurately detect situations such as fires or other emergencies on certain floors.
