Chapter 885 Be Mentally Prepared
Qiao Xing knew that Qin Ce wasn't short of money, but she still felt that buying a house was unnecessary.
However, if you really want to live in Beijing for a long time, it's always inconvenient not to have your own house.
After thinking it over, Qiao Xing said to Qin Ce, "How about we stay at the Qin family's place for now?"
"The Qin family?"
Qiao Xing knew that Qin Ce might not be willing to go back. She said, "I just feel that there is no need to buy a house. We will come back after Grandpa gets better. The baby will also live in Chongqing in the future. It would be a waste to buy a house and then leave it unused."
Qin Ce didn't offer an opinion, so Qiao Xing tentatively asked him, "Don't you want to live in the Qin family anymore?"
Qin Ce said calmly, "It's the same for me wherever I am. If you feel comfortable staying at the Qin family's place, then go back."
Qin Ce didn't think that way entirely; for him, buying a house wasn't a big deal.
He suddenly realized that living in the Qin family home would also be a form of protection for Qiao Xing.
After all, Qiao Xing got into trouble right under their noses, so they couldn't escape responsibility immediately.
After agreeing with Qiao Xing, Qin Ce told his grandfather about his trip to the capital the next day.
However, Qin Ce did not directly tell his grandfather the purpose of his trip to Beijing. He only said that there was a new project being developed there, and he would be staying for a long time. He was worried about leaving Qiao Xing and his grandfather in Chongqing.
After hearing this, Grandpa Qin asked Qin Ce, "Where will you stay when you return to the capital?"
Qin Ce said, "You've always wanted me to go back to the Qin family, and now my wish has come true."
"I don't care what you want. That's your home anyway, so it's only right that you go back."
Although he wasn't comfortable living at the Qin family's house, it was a good opportunity to ease the tension between the father and son while paying for his own expenses.
Qin Ce knew that as soon as he opened his mouth, he was going to instill those ideas in him again, so he quickly changed the subject.
"This trip will be quite long, possibly half a year, so please be prepared."
Qin Ce had prepared his grandfather in advance, but the grandfather, unaware of anything, asked in confusion, "What project is it that takes so long?"
Qin Ce made up a random excuse, "It's similar to the previous digital surveillance project, it's just quite troublesome."
Qin Ce had always handled company matters properly, so Grandpa Qin had no suspicions.
"What about the stars? Do they live over there too?"
"What else?"
Grandpa Qin suddenly said seriously, "Since Xingxing is going to live in the Qin family, you should pay more attention to how you talk to your father at home. He is not very happy with you and Xingxing in the first place, so don't make Xingxing unhappy because of you."
"knew."
That evening, when Qiao Xing got home from get off work, the first thing she asked Qin Ce was whether his grandfather had agreed to go to the capital.
Qin Ce said, "I agree."
He spoke so casually that Qiao Xing was taken aback. "It's that simple?"
"Otherwise what?"
Qiao Xing found it a bit unbelievable, "What did you tell Grandpa? Did you tell him the truth?"
"No, I lied to him," Qin Ce said simply and directly.
Qiao Xing paused for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Qin Ce asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Qiao Xing quickly suppressed her smile and waved her hand, saying, "It's nothing, it's nothing."
She imagined Qin Ce earnestly coaxing Grandpa Qin, and found it quite funny.
But when Qin Ce lies, he can deceive people without arousing any suspicion whatsoever.
Even if he's not good at lying, he can still make people believe him when he lies.
Qiao Xing didn't tell Qin Ce, but actually she and Qin Ce had the same idea.
She was worried about this matter the whole time at the company today.
Knowing how much Grandpa Qin resisted going to the hospital, if we told him the truth, that we would take him to Beijing for treatment, and that we might have to stay there for a year or two, he definitely wouldn't agree.
Therefore, we must find a reason that won't arouse his suspicion.
She struggled all day, unable to figure out how to persuade Grandpa Qin, but Qin Ce solved the problem so easily.
After Grandpa Qin confirmed that everything was fine, only Qiao Xing's side remained to deal with it.
The next day, Qiao Xing went to the company and told everyone about her trip to Beijing.
With half a month left before the game's closed beta test, Qiao Xing needed to hand over all his work.
The company staff had gotten used to Qiao Xing occasionally not coming to the office.
But then he heard Qiao Xing say that he was going to the capital and that it would be a long time before he arrived.
Sun Miao and Tian Guo were both very reluctant to part with her.
Sun Miao, in particular, grabbed Qiao Xing's arm and muttered, "If you leave, we'll miss you terribly."
After Qiao Xing came to the company, he brought them a lot of joy and laughter.
With her gone, the company will likely revert to its previous lifeless state.
Every day is just routine work, with no fun at all.
Qiao Xing patted Sun Miao's head like he was patting a child, "It won't be long, maybe I'll be back in half a month or a month."
"It's been that long?" Tao Yang walked over and asked, "Did you tell Boyan?"
Qiao Xing said, "Not yet. Wasn't he overseeing the voice-over? Let's talk about it when he gets back."
Tao Yang sat in the chair, looked up and sighed, "This game is about to enter closed beta, and without you here, I feel like I've suddenly lost my anchor."
Qiao Xing thought he was exaggerating a bit. "Even if I'm not here, there's still Boyan. Besides, I'll come back after I've sorted out my family matters. It's not like I'm not coming back."
Tao Yang scratched his head and smiled, "That's not what I meant. No matter what, you're a major shareholder of the company. It would be such a pity if you weren't there for something as important as the internal testing."
Qiao Xing also wanted to personally watch the game's closed beta test, because if everything was normal after the test, it should be officially launched.
After working hard for more than half a month, this is the day I've been waiting for.
However, she wouldn't feel at ease if she didn't go with Grandpa Qin.
In fact, Qiao Xing was also in a difficult and conflicted position.
But with Shen Boyan around at the company, she doesn't really need to worry too much.
Qiao Xing said to the group, "Thank you all for your hard work. If the closed beta goes through and the game is officially launched, I'll treat you all to dinner. You can eat whatever you want!"
Tao Yang stretched and said to Qiao Xing, "Let's put the dinner aside for now. You should think about how to tell Boyan about going to the capital. After all, you're not going for just a day or two, and I'm afraid he'll be unhappy."
Before Qiao Xing could speak, Sun Miao asked in confusion, "Why is Boyan unhappy? Xingxing said it's because of family matters, and he's not an unreasonable person."
"You don't understand, this..." Tao Yang started to say, but then stopped himself.
He felt it was inappropriate to say these things in front of Qiao Xing.
Let them talk about this themselves.
