Chapter 680: Has the person been changed?
Bai Yi asked Linlin, "What's wrong?"
Linlin said to Baiyi with a puzzled tone, "That uncle didn't seem to want my money, but I gave him all my snacks."
Bai Yi glanced over there, but the person had his back to her, so she couldn't see his face.
From behind, all you could see was that his clothes were tattered and his hair was rather long.
Bai Yi stared at that figure for a while, and for some reason, she felt that it was somewhat familiar.
Linlin shook Baiyi's arm. "Mom, what's wrong?"
Bai Yi looked away, thinking it might just be her imagination, and said to Linlin, "It's okay, let's go home."
"good."
In fact, Bai Yi was not mistaken; the familiar figure was none other than Wu Wei, who had fallen into begging.
Three days later, Qin Ce, who had originally planned to return from the capital, was delayed again because of the project.
When Qiao Xing received Qin Ce's call, she felt a little disappointed, but she still expressed her understanding.
She asked Qin Ce, "Is it very troublesome?"
Qin Ce said on the phone, "It's not that it's difficult, it's just that we dealt with some unnecessary things, which caused the delay."
Upon hearing his words, Qiao Xing keenly sensed something was amiss. "You mean, the Qin family?"
Qin Ce replied, "Yes."
Although he didn't go into details, Qiao Xing could guess the gist of it as soon as he heard that it was related to the Qin family.
Sometimes Qiao Xing really doesn't understand Qin Liang. You might think he hates Qin Ce, but he hasn't done anything to harm Qin Ce's personal safety.
But if you say he treats Qin Ce like his own son, then he also makes things difficult for Qin Ce from time to time.
Qiao Xing even felt that many of his actions were actually attempts to control Qin Ce, but he couldn't get Qin Ce to listen to him, so he did these things to make Qin Ce compromise.
Qiao Xing asked Qin Ce, "So what are you planning to do next?"
Qin Ce said, "There's nothing major wrong, we just might stay here for a couple more days."
After he finished speaking, he instructed Qiao Xing, "If there's nothing absolutely necessary, try not to go out. If anything happens, ask Xing Jiu to help."
Qiao Xing knew that Qin Ce was worried that Qin Liang was deliberately keeping him in the capital so he couldn't return in time, and that he might do something to Qiao Xing.
Although she didn't think Qin Liang would go to such lengths, she still agreed, "Okay, I understand."
Qin Ce's tone softened slightly, "Is the baby alright?"
Qiao Xing touched her belly; she was already over six months pregnant, and the baby was moving quite frequently. She even wondered if she was carrying a boy.
"Everything is fine. I went for a prenatal checkup yesterday, and the doctor said the baby's heartbeat was normal and the baby's development was fine."
"That's good."
As the two were chatting, Han Yan's voice came from Qin Ce's side, "We should set off."
"Okay, right away."
Qiao Xing asked, "It's so late, are you still going out?"
"Yes, there's a social engagement, both Han Yan and I have to go."
Generally speaking, if both Han Yan and Qin Ce need to appear, it is extremely important to explain.
Qiao Xing quickly said, "Then go ahead, but drink less."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Ce picked up his coat and put it on, then said to Han Yan, "Let's go."
Han Yan looked him up and down. "You're going to go dressed like this?"
Qin Ce frowned. "Is there a problem?"
"Tang Xi said that the CEO of Heye Group is not feeling well and cannot make an appearance, so he specially sent his daughter to receive him. Isn't this a bit too casual?"
Qin Ce paused in his tracks: "What do you mean? They've changed people?"
"Yes, I just received the news too. You just called, so I didn't have a chance to tell you. But what are you afraid of? Whether it's President Tan or Miss Tan, it's all the same. Miss Tan is an only child."
The meaning is already quite clear.
But if they don't make it clear, they might be deliberately pretending not to understand.
We'll all be dealing with each other in the business world in the future, so being too blunt can be counterproductive.
But Qin Ce didn't care about any of that. The reason he was talking to Heye Group this time was because Qin Liang had interfered and disrupted the original schedule.
That's why Tang Xi was brought in as an intermediary, but that doesn't mean they only have Heye Group as an option.
So if they can reach an agreement, they will; if not, they will simply let it go. Qin Ce was too lazy to engage in any superficial formalities.
He straightened his clothes and said, "Let's go."
The venue was arranged by Heyue Group, a top-tier restaurant in Beijing.
As soon as Han Yan and Qin Ce got out of the car, a woman in business attire came to greet them.
"President Han, President Qin, our President Tan has been waiting for you both for quite some time. This way, please."
"Xiaoyi, I'm really sorry, something came up and I might not be able to get away. How about we reschedule for another time?"
Shi Yi smiled and said to Wang Yu on the phone, "Okay, Aunt Wang, let's reschedule for another day."
As she finished speaking and was about to hang up, her gaze inadvertently fell upon Han Yan and Qin Ce, who were about to enter the elevator.
Shi Yi paused, somewhat surprised to see Qin Ce in the capital.
Didn't Wang Yu say that he never came back after going to Chongqing? How come he suddenly came to Beijing, and with Han Yan no less?
While still on the phone with Wang Yu, Shi Yi asked, "Aunt Wang, I think I just saw Brother Qin Ce. Didn't you say he was in Chongqing? Why did he suddenly come back?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu asked in surprise, "Really? Xiao Ce is back? Your Uncle Qin said he bought a house in Chongqing. I thought he was going to settle down there and not come back."
As Wang Yu spoke, she seemed to remember something and said to Shi Yi, "You saw Xiao Ce, why didn't you go up and say hello?"
"I saw him with Han Yan, so he must be busy. How could I go up and disturb him?"
"Oh, now that you mention it, I remember now. It seems that Xiao Ce came back this time because of that digital surveillance project. Your Uncle Qin said that the scope of this matter is too broad, and he was worried that Xiao Ce would not be able to control it. He originally wanted to persuade him, but Xiao Ce has already made an appointment with Chairman Tan of Heye Group. I guess he came here to discuss this matter."
Shi Yi then remembered that half an hour earlier, when she was waiting for Wang Yu here, she had run into Chairman Tan's daughter, Tan Yuwen.
The two exchanged brief greetings. Tan Yuwen said she had to invite some important friends to dinner and couldn't stay any longer, so she left. Now it seems that the important friends she was referring to were probably Qin Ce.
Shi Yi understood. "I see." She asked Wang Yu, "Is everything alright for Brother Qin Ce and his wife in Chongqing? I haven't seen his wife for a long time, and I miss her a bit."
Wang Yu said, "It's good, but Xiao Ce came to Beijing a bit in a hurry this time. You know he always cares about your sister-in-law. I thought he would bring her with him this time, but I didn't expect him to come with Han Yan, leaving Xingxing alone in Chongqing. I don't know what this kid was thinking."
