Chapter 668 Why is he in the hospital?
Yang Han was displeased upon hearing this. "Look at what you're saying. How am I unreliable? I just don't like to dwell on big and small things, but this is a matter of principle, and I will definitely handle it seriously."
"Yes, yes, after all, he's about to become a father, so of course he needs to be more mature."
Qiao Xing asked, "I forgot to ask you, how are things going between you and Xiao Lin?"
Yang Han said, "It's great. Thanks to Lao Qin's advice last time, I've figured out a lot of things and there aren't so many problems anymore. Now I'm willing to let her go to work, and she's willing to take good care of her health and the child for me."
"That's good."
After talking to Yang Han, Qiao Xing had just hung up the phone when she received a message from Qin Ce.
He sent Qiao Xing a photo of Beijing Airport.
Qiao Xing knew he was letting her know he was safe.
Whether making a phone call or sending a message, Qin Ce rarely says anything, usually just briefly telling the other party what he is doing.
He had maintained this habit ever since he met Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing understood what he meant. She clicked on the picture, glanced at it, and then replied to Qin Ce:
"Remember to eat on time, get enough rest, and don't overwork yourself."
Qin Ce quickly replied, "Okay."
Qiao Xing spent the whole day at home today, revising plans and editing proposals.
The initial model for the second-tier game proposed by Shen Boyan has been completed, but the character design is still lacking.
This is their weakness, since the company is full of men, while the target audience for otome games is almost entirely girls. They don't really understand what kind of character designs and images girls like these days.
Adopting a mainstream approach can lead to aesthetic fatigue and a lack of originality, but innovation risks alienating the public and becoming an unpopular trend.
Tao Yang and his team had been struggling with this for over a month, and finally, when they had no other choice, they sought help from Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing was also very helpful, giving them several different character designs in just a few days.
However, since it was a draft, many parts were not detailed. A couple of days ago, Shen Boyan picked out the two best versions from the several versions Qiao Xing had given him and asked Qiao Xing to revise them properly.
Qiao Xing has been busy with this for the past two days. She finally fixed it today and quickly sent it to Shen Boyan's email.
However, after sending the manuscript, Qiao Xing never received a reply from Shen Boyan.
Qiao Xing initially thought Shen Boyan was busy, so she didn't take it to heart.
But Shen Boyan didn't reply to her until the next day.
Qiao Xing then realized that something was amiss.
Shen Boyan was never the kind of person who would deliberately ignore a read or pretend not to see it.
Even when he's very busy, he'll reply to you immediately once he has a moment to spare.
Never before has there been such a complete silence, lasting a whole day and night.
Qiao Xing felt something was wrong, so he called Shen Boyan to ask him what was going on.
But to everyone's surprise, Shen Boyan's phone didn't go through, so Qiao Xing simply called the Big Bad Wolf directly.
Tao Yang answered the phone. He was pleased to hear Qiao Xing's voice. "Qiao Xing, long time no see! How have you been?"
"Everything's going well. How are you all doing at the company? Is everything going smoothly?"
"It's great, it's great. Everyone misses you. The company feels like it's missing a lot of atmosphere since you've been gone for so long."
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Tao Yang, Qiao Xing asked him, "Where's Shen Boyan? He didn't reply to my email, and I couldn't get through on the phone. Is he very busy?"
Tao Yang exclaimed in surprise, "You didn't know? He was hospitalized. We thought he had told you. You knew?"
Qiao Xing said, "I don't know. Why is he in the hospital? What's wrong with him?"
"Don't worry, he just worked too hard during that period and didn't eat properly, which made him sick. He thought it was a stomachache, but when he went to the hospital, they found out it was appendicitis."
Qiao Xing was slightly relieved when she heard it was appendicitis. "How is he recovering now? Is someone taking care of him?"
Speaking of this, Tao Yang had a headache. "After the surgery, Sun Miao and I thought we would take turns taking care of him, but we just couldn't leave the company. There were too many things to do every day, and we simply couldn't find the time. Boyan doesn't have any other relatives in Chongqing. When we asked him to hire a caregiver, he said it was a waste of money and refused, saying that he could take care of himself. You have no idea how worried I was about this."
Although appendectomy is not an extremely high-risk surgery, it still involves cutting into your body, and you can't do it without someone taking care of you.
Tao Yang and Sun Miao were truly unable to control their own lives, and although Qiao Xing was free, she couldn't go to the hospital to take care of Shen Boyan given her circumstances.
She first said to Tao Yang, "How about I go to the hospital to see him first? If it's really not possible, I'll pay for the caregiver. In any case, he needs to recover first."
"Yes, that's what I told Boyan, but he just wouldn't listen."
"Alright, you guys go ahead with your work, I won't bother you any longer."
"Okay, I'll hang up now."
Qiao Xing hung up the phone, took out clothes from the closet, changed, and prepared to go to the hospital.
Grandpa Qin was sitting on the sofa. Seeing Qiao Xing come out, he asked, "Xingxing, are you going out?"
Qiao Xing nodded. "My colleague is in the hospital, and I want to go visit him. I won't be back for dinner."
Grandpa Qin instructed, "Okay, then be careful on the road."
"I understand, Grandpa."
On the way to the hospital, Xing Jiu drove while glancing at Qiao Xing in the rearview mirror from time to time.
Qiao Xing felt his gaze and asked in confusion, "Xing Jiu, is there something you want to tell me?"
Xing Jiu hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Madam, did you tell President Qin about your trip to the hospital?"
Qiao Xing asked, puzzled, "Didn't he go to the capital? Why did you tell him?"
Xing Jiu pursed her lips. "Why don't you tell President Qin? I think he'll want to know."
Qiao Xing didn't understand what she meant. "Where I go, isn't it always you who tells him? Didn't you say so?"
Xing Jiu said, "This is different."
"What's different?"
Xing Jiu remained silent.
Qiao Xing was completely bewildered. She had always thought that Xing Jiu had a strange personality, but she never expected him to speak in such a strange way. She couldn't understand him at all.
Xing Jiu could tell from Qiao Xing's expression that she hadn't understood what he meant.
What he really meant was to tell Qiao Xing that there was a completely different difference between him reporting to Qin Ce and her proactively telling Qin Ce what she was going to do.
Just like now, Qiao Xing is going to visit a patient, and that patient is still Shen Boyan.
If he were to tell Qin Ce about this, and Qiao Xing remained silent, Xing Jiu was certain that Qin Ce would feel uncomfortable.
