Chapter 92 The young man has a bright future
"That's great! I wasn't really keen on eating out. The food outside isn't very hygienic. Homemade food is always better! I'd love to try your cooking!"
Qiao Xing was also happy to hear her say that, "Okay, then after I finish moving, I'll go buy groceries and cook."
"OK!"
Soon the car arrived at the neighborhood they were moving to. Qiao Xing was moving when Yang Han actually arrived.
He was still driving that Wuling Hongguang. He got out of the car and strode forward, saying, "Old Qin, sister-in-law, you didn't even invite me to move. You're being too polite!"
Qiao Xing was taken aback. "Why are you here?"
"Old Qin is my good buddy, of course I have to come when you're moving. Luckily I made it in time. Come on, let me help you!"
Yang Han didn't waste any words and went straight up to move the heaviest box, which was the box Qiao Xing had used to pack his books.
"Wow! That's really heavy."
Yang Han almost couldn't lift it, but he gritted his teeth and managed to lift it, which dealt another serious blow to Zhang Zhe, who then realized how bad his physical condition was.
No wonder Lin Shuang disliked him.
With the three men there, Lin Shuang and Qiao Xing only took a few small things, and with Yang Han joining them, the moving process was much faster.
In less than an hour, everything was moved.
The house is fully furnished and clean, so it doesn't need much tidying up. You just need to organize your things in the afternoon.
However, it was already noon, so Qiao Xing had to go buy groceries first, since so many people were waiting for lunch.
"I'll go with you!" Seeing that she was about to leave, Lin Shuang picked up her bag and followed after her.
Qiao Xing didn't refuse. There were a bunch of grown men in the room, and it wouldn't be appropriate for Lin Shuang to be there by herself.
The two went downstairs together to familiarize themselves with the new neighborhood. Yang Han said that there were places to buy vegetables in the neighborhood, and the surrounding facilities were complete and convenient.
She saw several small shops and supermarkets along the way, but the supermarkets sold very few vegetables. It was fine for her own consumption, but if she wanted to entertain guests, the selection would be limited.
"Qiao Xing, why did you suddenly decide to move?" Lin Shuang asked, linking her arm with hers.
Qiao Xing was too embarrassed to talk about the family matters that had happened, so she casually said, "It's inconvenient to live here with more people, so it's better to move out."
"That's true. So, did you buy this house or rent it?"
"It's rented, it's the same person who rented it to us. He rented it to us cheaply. I feel like he's helping us out of poverty, helping us for free. He only charges us 600 yuan a month in rent."
Lin Shuang was stunned. She hadn't expected the house to be rented, but she also didn't quite believe it was.
It seems that Qiao Xing really doesn't know Qin Ce's identity, and Qin Ce doesn't plan to tell her either?
"I see..." Lin Shuang murmured thoughtfully, "The houses here aren't cheap. It's obvious that your friend has a really good relationship with you."
"Yes, he's Qin Ce's classmate, and they're good friends."
"It's so nice to have a friend like that."
The two chatted casually as they looked for a place to buy vegetables in the neighborhood.
Although this is a new residential area, there are quite a lot of people living here; it's packed with people at this hour.
Inside the house, three men and an old man looked at each other in bewilderment.
Yang Han glanced at Zhang Zhe beside her, "Who's this?"
Zhang Zhe knew that Yang Han called him "Boss Qin," so his identity must be extraordinary. He couldn't look down on him just because he drove a Wuling Hongguang.
He stood up and extended his hand to introduce himself: "Hello, my name is Zhang Zhe. I am the team leader of the second group in the overseas department of S&C, and also... an employee of General Manager Qin."
After hearing his introduction, Yang Han looked at Qin Ce with surprise and said, "It seems that your employee is an excellent one. He even came to help you move."
Zhang Zhe waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, she's my girlfriend. She's a colleague of President Qin's wife. I'm just... here to do odd jobs."
Yang Han laughed and reached out to shake Zhang Zhe's hand. "So that's how it is. Not bad, young man. You have a bright future. At least now your boss Qin remembers you. Keep up the good work, and a promotion and a raise are just a matter of time."
"Mr. Yang, you're exaggerating. Working hard is our duty. As for promotions and raises... it all comes down to ability. Our company doesn't believe in connections."
Yang Han raised an eyebrow, admiring him even more, "Not bad, not bad, it seems there's a reason you're sitting here."
While this statement might be considered flattery, at least it doesn't sound offensive.
Qin Ce didn't say a word from beginning to end, but that also meant that Qin Ce accepted Zhang Zhe's words.
Yang Han changed the subject, and said to Qin Ce with a grin, "Old Qin, you've moved into this house. What do you mean? You're not really planning to just rent a place, are you?"
Qin Ce leaned back on the sofa and glanced at the old man. "Ask him."
The old man glared at Qin Ce. "Why are you asking me! I don't know. It's your own business, you handle it yourself. I, an old man, won't meddle."
If it weren't for his own insistence on concealing his identity, forcing him to act at his advanced age, he already felt bad enough towards Qiao Xing. He wouldn't agree to act again.
Qin Ce twitched the corner of his mouth, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "How much?"
"Didn't we agree on this last time? Six hundred, right?" Yang Han looked at Qin Ce with a smile. The six hundred he mentioned would have been followed by ten thousand.
But Yang Han was a smart man, and he said, "I guess you don't want to keep moving around, right? How about this, when Qiao Xing comes back later, I'll talk to her and say that I'll sell this house to you cheaply, how about that?"
Qin Ce said, "She probably won't agree."
Why?
"She doesn't want to take advantage of you."
Upon hearing this, the old man couldn't help but laugh. He understood Qiao Xing's personality so quickly; not bad.
"Then we'll have to rely on Grandpa Qin." Yang Han turned her attention to Grandpa Qin again. "Grandpa, if you say so, won't this matter be a done deal?"
The old man said irritably, "Why are you all always trying to take advantage of an old man like me?"
"Who gave you the right to speak? For the sake of your grandson's happiness, you'll have to put up with this."
The old man said, "Xiao Ce, this can't go on. When are you going to be honest with them? Be careful not to mess things up, or don't blame me for not warning you."
Qin Ce didn't speak; he pursed his lips, unsure how to answer.
"I see."
The old man was still a little worried. He wondered what the boy was still hesitating about. He thought it would be too late to say it later if he didn't speak up now.
He had known Qiao Xing for a long time; he had practically watched her grow up and knew her character better than anyone.
If their relationship develops naturally and she finds out the truth, she probably won't even talk to this old man anymore.
