Chapter 66 Idiot
Xiao Bai said, "He's not in Chongqing these days, so he can't come."
"What a coincidence?" Xiao He blinked and said with feigned regret, "What a pity, I thought I would finally get to see your boyfriend today."
Xiao Bai replied with a smile, "Yes, it's just such a coincidence. There's nothing I can do. I can't exactly make him fly back now, can I?"
Xiao He choked for a moment, and his face turned pale.
"And what about you, Qiao Xing? Didn't your boyfriend say he was coming?" Wu Yun asked Qiao Xing again.
"Oh, he might be held up by something, we don't need to wait for him."
Qiao Xing remembered that he had said he was coming to pick her up, so he probably only came to pick her up and wouldn't be attending the party. That put her at ease.
Otherwise, judging from their posture, Qiao Xing was really worried about whether he could leave unscathed if he came.
"You two are the only ones with mysterious partners," Xiao He joked with a smile.
Wu Yun was also a little regretful. She hadn't been able to see Qiao Xing's boyfriend's face clearly last time, but judging from his figure, he should be quite good-looking.
Wu Yun is thirty-three years old this year. She is not married, but that does not stop her from dating.
She likes handsome men and changes boyfriends quite frequently. This year, she dated two college students, the kind of "puppy dogs" that people talk about online.
However, she found it too stale and wanted to try something different.
Of course, she's not really interested in Qiao Xing's husband right now; she just wants to see what he looks like, since everyone likes to look at handsome guys.
As a manager, Wu Yun couldn't push too obviously, otherwise it would seem like she had ulterior motives.
She had no choice but to give up, saying, "Then let's not wait any longer and let the waiter bring the food."
Immediately, a lackey stood up and volunteered to go out and call a waiter.
Before long, the dishes were served one after another. The male colleagues and their male family members didn't eat much; they were all drinking.
The female colleagues and their female family members were all eating with their heads down.
Qiao Xing glanced at Xiao Bai beside her; she was also focused on eating and showed no interest in the lively conversation at the table.
Qiao Xing had only been here a few days and wasn't very familiar with the people in the department, but he still had some impression of Xiao Bai.
After all, this newbie never wore the same clothes twice, and she dressed very fashionably. People in the department secretly gave her the nickname "Peacock".
Qiao Xing didn't know her full name, but she sat next to him and was often not at her workstation during work hours. She was probably a salesperson.
After a few rounds of drinks, the men were all quite drunk and started bragging about all sorts of things.
Some people also talked about business.
Zhang Zhe found himself unable to join the conversation. They were all talking about domestic business, and despite Lin Shuang's repeated hints, he couldn't find anything to talk about and join in.
The conversation quickly turned to S&C, since Weisheng had just been acquired by S&C, and everyone was quite concerned about its future developments.
“S&C is really on a roll. With them moving to Chongqing, our local electronics companies are going to have to struggle to survive.”
"That's for sure. They were already very capable when they were abroad. The robot they developed with another big company was quite intelligent."
"That's a half-finished product, not perfect yet. If it were perfected, the tech industry would probably be completely transformed."
"Hey? Lin Shuang, does your boyfriend work at S&C?"
When finally asked, Zhang Zhe quickly put down his chopsticks. "Oh, right, but I haven't been there long."
"That's impressive. I've heard that S&C has very strict hiring requirements. They love poaching people, and I've heard that many talented people are poached from other companies. They don't just poach from Chongqing, they even go to other cities to poach."
"So, buddy, did you go there on your own, or were you poached?"
Zhang Zhe coughed and said very modestly, "S&C called me to come in for a chat before, and I never expected to be hired."
It means that S&C poached him.
Now everyone looks at him differently; he's a real talent.
S&C is just starting out in China. If you join now, you'll be a veteran employee once S&C gets on track, and your salary will increase accordingly, with plenty of room for promotion.
Some senior executives at S&C earn more than some small business owners, like Xiaoqin's husband who owns a supermarket.
Those men who had been bragging before toned down their boasting after hearing that Zhang Zhe was a talent poached by S&C.
In the field of electronic technology, none of them know as much as Zhang Zhe.
Lin Shuang vented much of her frustration from the first half of the event with the praise of the crowd, and adopted a humble and low-key demeanor.
Just then, Xiaobai suddenly stood up.
Her movement was abrupt, and everyone stopped talking and looked at Xiaobai.
Xiaobai realized her rudeness and said apologetically, "Sorry, my boyfriend is here. I'll go out and meet him."
Everyone's eyes lit up. Her rich second-generation boyfriend?
The people at the dinner table had different thoughts: some wanted to get to know the rich second generation, some wanted to see a good show, and some were just curious.
Regardless of whether the other person is a spoiled brat or not, as long as he is a second-generation rich kid, it means he is an upper-class person. Being able to associate with him will definitely elevate your social circle to a higher level.
"Go on, really, we've almost finished eating before you came." Wu Yun waved his hand, signaling her to hurry up and go get it.
Wu Yun's enthusiasm had long since waned. After all, she was getting older and couldn't stay up late anymore; she wanted to go back and get her beauty sleep.
Xiao Bai nodded and quickly walked out.
Outside the restaurant, a Ferrari sped up, executed another perfect drift, and came to a smooth stop in front of the restaurant, exuding class.
However, the driver didn't seem to be paying much attention and almost hit the person standing at the door.
Fortunately, Qin Ce reacted quickly enough, otherwise he would have been hit and thrown into the air by that Ferrari.
Qin Ce stared at the Ferrari's license plate number, his brows furrowing; it looked somewhat familiar.
Wasn't this the same car that nearly hit Qiao Xing last time it drove recklessly on the main road?
The Ferrari was parked steadily at the entrance, and the driver got out without caring whether it would block other cars.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Qin Ce. "Huh? Why is there someone else standing here?"
Qin Ce stared at him for a moment, not recognizing him.
"Dude, what are you doing standing here? If it weren't for my driving skills, you would have been smashed into a pulp." Jiang Wang said with a sullen laugh, his words carrying no concern but rather a hint of contempt.
Qin Ce looked at him coldly and said indifferently, "I like it."
His tone annoyed Jiang Wang. "What do you like? Do you like being hit by a car?"
Qin Ce didn't intend to pay him any attention, shifting his gaze away from the man's face and completely ignoring him.
To be honest, his attitude and every move he made were provoking Jiang Wang's anger.
Jiang Wang laughed angrily. He was too lazy to argue with Qin Ce, so he just said two words, "Idiot."
After saying that, he prepared to walk inside.
Qin Ce suddenly looked at Jiang Wang, "What did you say?"
Jiang Wang paused, looking Qin Ce up and down with amusement. "Idiot, you don't understand? You really are an idiot."
