Chapter 564 What is he planning to do now?
Qiao Hong slumped on the sofa, barely closing his eyes all night. The next day, he looked incredibly haggard, with frighteningly dark circles under his eyes.
When Mr. Qian heard that Qiao Hong had slept in his office last night, he came to find him. As soon as he opened the door, he was startled by Qiao Hong's appearance.
What's wrong with you?
Qiao Hong hadn't slept well and had a terrible headache. He made himself a cup of tea to perk himself up, then sighed heavily and shook his head, saying, "Don't even mention it."
Mr. Qian had no idea what had happened to him yesterday, and simply asked, "Why are you sleeping here?"
Qiao Hong was too embarrassed to say that he had been kicked out. He smiled awkwardly and covered it up by saying, "I've been too busy these past few days and I get home quite late every day. I didn't want to disturb my wife's rest, so I'm just sleeping here."
Qiao Hong touched his face, feeling much more awake. He asked President Qian, "By the way, have all the payments been transferred? What did S&C say? Did they say when construction will start?"
Mr. Qian came to see Qiao Hong about this matter. He said, "I came to ask you about it. The money has already been transferred to S&C's account, but there has been no movement from there. I even sent my people to S&C, but they were all turned away without any explanation."
The more Mr. Qian talked, the more uneasy he felt. "Do you think this might be a trap?"
"How could that be?" Qiao Hong retorted to President Qian. "We haven't offended Qin Ce. If he doesn't want to cooperate, he can just refuse. Who is Qin Ce? Why would he go to such lengths for a mere ten million, just to make us suffer?"
After listening to this, Mr. Qian also felt that there was some truth to it.
Although a ten million yuan project is a big deal for them, it is nothing to Qin Ce.
There are so many people and so many excellent companies in Chongqing, and countless people want to cooperate with Qin Ce, some even offering tens of millions of yuan, but Qin Ce hasn't talked to them at all.
Even so, just to be on the safe side, Mr. Qian still said to Qiao Hong, "Why don't you go to S&C? I'm still uneasy about this uncertain situation. Qin Ce is busy, but he'll come out of the company eventually. As long as you see him, you won't have to worry about not being able to reach an agreement."
Although Qiao Hong felt that what Qiao Hong did was completely unnecessary, he thought about it and realized that it was more than ten million yuan, not just a few hundred yuan. If something went wrong, the whole company would be finished.
He thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."
Qiao Hong didn't even eat breakfast before taking a taxi to S&C.
His car was taken out as collateral, and this was the first time he had gone out without driving his own car, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, he encountered a traffic jam on the way. Qiao Hong kept checking the time, and it was almost time to get off work. If Qin Ce left, he would never have a chance to see him again.
He couldn't help but urge the driver, "Sir, can you hurry up?"
The driver couldn't help but roll his eyes at him in the rearview mirror. "Dude, I'm not driving an airplane. There's a traffic jam ahead. You can't just go fast whenever you want."
Qiao Hong was speechless after being shut down by his words. He was angry, but he couldn't vent his anger.
He thought angrily that once he earned all the money back, he would buy something dozens of times more expensive than before, and he would never let anyone look down on him again!
Qiao Hong finally arrived at S&C, but he was too late; the company's employees had already left one after another.
Qiao Hong grabbed someone at random and asked, "Where is your CEO, Qin?"
The man gave Qiao Hong a strange look. Qiao Hong's hair was messy and his clothes were wrinkled.
You could say he's a homeless person, but he doesn't look like one. You could say he's a normal person, but he looks haggard and disheveled, like he hasn't eaten for days.
Qiao Hong quickly straightened his clothes, coughed twice, and introduced himself, "I am Qiao Xing's father. I want to see your President Qin. I have something to discuss with him."
That person looked even stranger.
Whose father is he, and what is his relationship with him?
But he still politely told Qiao Hong, "I'm sorry, President Qin has already left."
Qiao Hong was immediately met with a cold shower.
But he didn't intend to give up. Qin Ce would leave sometime and come back sometime. He would wait for him here. As long as he came back, he would definitely see him.
With that thought in mind, Qiao Hong sat down on the sofa and waited for Qin Ce to return.
But he didn't know that Qin Ce wouldn't be back all afternoon.
After he returned home in the afternoon, he accompanied Qiao Xing to her prenatal checkup.
Qiao Xing is almost four months pregnant, and the doctor has arranged for her to undergo Down syndrome screening to check whether the fetus is at risk of birth defects.
The results would take a week to two weeks. After Qiao Xing finished her other tests, she went home with Qin Ce.
On his way back, Qin Ce received a call from Han Yan.
Qin Ce was driving and couldn't answer the phone, so he simply turned on the car's Bluetooth.
"What are you doing? How did Qiao Hong end up at the company? You, my cheap father-in-law, are you really planning to get yourself a legitimate status?"
He was unaware that Qiao Xing was also in the car, and his tone was exactly the same as when he spoke to Qin Ce.
Qiao Xing was taken aback when he heard him mention Qiao Hong.
After Han Yan finished speaking, he didn't receive a reply from Qin Ce, and asked suspiciously, "Say something! What happened? How did he end up in the company?"
Qin Ce said, "Ignore him."
"What do you mean by 'ignore him'? He's definitely not coming to the company with good intentions. What if he causes trouble?"
"He wouldn't dare."
Han Yan seemed to understand something. Qin Ce always had his own style of doing things. He called Qin Ce because he was afraid that Qin Ce was unaware of the situation and that Qiao Hong might cause some trouble again. If the people in the company found out about Qiao Xing and Qin Ce's relationship, it would be troublesome.
However, judging from his tone now, it seems he already knew that Qiao Hong would be at the company.
Han Yan didn't care anymore and said, "Okay, you decide for yourself. I'll hang up now."
As soon as the two ended their call, Qiao Xing couldn't help but ask Qin Ce, "Why did Qiao Hong go to the company? What's he up to now?"
Qin Ce never intended to hide it from her from the beginning. Coincidentally, she overheard it, so Qin Ce simply told her about Cao Yun coming to see him.
After hearing this, Qiao Xing was somewhat taken aback. "You mean, Cao Yun came to find you on his own initiative?"
"right."
"But didn't she forgive Qiao Hong after leaving the hospital? Why would she do this again?"
Since the last accident, news has spread that Qiao Hong is about to cooperate with S&C. Not only that, everyone also knows that his wife took care of him when he was sick, despite past grievances.
Everyone felt that this must be Qiao Hong's good fortune from his previous life.
But only Qiao Xing knew that when Qin Ce agreed to cooperate with Qiao Hong, Qiao Xing thought it was just a facade Qin Ce created for Qiao Hong to prevent him from bothering Wang Qin and Xi Xi.
But she didn't expect that Cao Yun would take the initiative to approach Qin Ce.
