Chapter 424 Getting More and More Shameless
In the afternoon, Qiao Xing was optimizing the project proposal. He got so busy that he forgot the time. When he finally realized it, he looked at his phone and it was 4:30.
She turned her head and saw that Sun Miao hadn't come down yet.
Qiao Xing stood up and said, "Shen Boyan, it's 4:30. Should we go and call Sun Miao down?"
Shen Boyan, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth and without looking up, said, "No need, let her sleep. She hasn't slept for two days."
"Oh." Hearing him say that, Qiao Xing didn't dare to call out anymore.
I haven't slept for two days. I'm really amazing. It's good to be young. I can really endure it.
Qiao Xing has finished optimizing the framework of the proposal. He will refine the details in the next day or two, and then they can start working on it.
She packed her things and prepared to go home, but as soon as she went downstairs, she saw a familiar license plate number.
After hesitating for a moment, she quickly walked over and knocked on the car window. When the window rolled down, Qin Ce was indeed sitting inside.
What brings you here?
"I was just about to message you when I came down. Get in the car." Qin Ce deleted the message he had typed, put down his phone, and unlocked the car for her.
Qiao Xing got into the car, fastening her seatbelt as she said to him, "Don't come to pick me up. It won't look good if they see us."
"What's wrong with it?" Qin Ce turned to look at her, his eyes scrutinizing her. "Are you going to tell them you're single?"
"How could that be? I already told them I was married." Qiao Xing wanted to roll her eyes at him. "I just felt that if they saw me like that, they wouldn't include me in their group anymore."
Qin Ce then let her go, started the car and drove off, saying, "I thought you were worried they'd ask you for investment."
"That's not impossible, but based on my observations over the past few days, they don't seem like those kinds of people."
"It's only been a few days, and you already think they're not that kind of people?"
Qiao Xing sighed, unsure how to explain it to him, "It's just a gut feeling, I guess. Their company used to have a lot of people, but now there are only three of them left. If they were really that ambitious, they wouldn't be sticking with such a small company."
"And seeing their current work conditions, most people really couldn't stand it."
Tao Yang had previously mentioned that Shen Boyan's company, which he started with a loan, was heavily in debt, and everyone else had left, but the two of them stayed.
They could have easily run along with them, but they didn't.
This indirectly shows that Sun Miao and Tao Yang are good people, and their willingness to stay proves that Shen Boyan is also a good person.
Although she hasn't figured out what kind of person Shen Boyan is yet.
Qin Ce listened to her well-reasoned analysis and didn't try to dampen her enthusiasm any further.
"I heard you say they're still doing outsourced work?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, just asking. Xiao Lin contacted me before, saying she's making some kind of app. You can ask her about it."
Qiao Xing was taken aback. "Wasn't she looking for you?"
Qin Ce said, "No one is making that kind of mini-program for her. I told her to come back first. When she gets back, you can ask her. If you don't accept her, I'll just pass her on to someone else."
Qiao Xing looked at him suspiciously for a moment, "You're not saying this on purpose to introduce business to me, are you?"
"Do I really need something worth at most 200,000?" Qin Ce said, his voice growing increasingly displeased. "Why are you always so wary of me? Even if I introduce you to business, is it something shameful?"
"No, no, I just feel..." Qiao Xing couldn't tell him, and was too embarrassed to say it.
What she wanted was not to be led by him, but to follow in his footsteps. Although it was unlikely that she could catch up, at least she could shorten the distance between them by a little.
"What do you think?" Qin Ce pressed on.
"nothing."
Qin Ce didn't ask any more questions. He drove Qiao Xing to the market.
He's now very familiar with the market; he knows exactly where all the vegetables are sold. As soon as Qiao Xing mentioned she wanted to make pumpkin and crab for dinner, he immediately dragged her to the seafood section.
And they also know which seafood is the freshest.
Qiao Xing watched his retreating figure, her feelings somewhat complicated. From the time she met him until now, she had clearly witnessed his changes.
From a cold and aloof big boss who doesn't seem to care about worldly affairs, she has now become an ordinary person who follows her around the market every day.
However, his demeanor still seemed a bit out of place in the market; he could have just changed his clothes.
Who dresses so formally to go grocery shopping?
While Qiao Xing was still lost in thought, Qin Ce had already picked out the hairy crabs and bought two saury.
He carried the groceries to the other side of the street to buy pumpkins, and after buying them, he told Qiao Xing, "This place gives away scallions and cilantro."
Qiao Xing: "..."
He knows it even better than she does.
Watching the boss weighing the items, Qiao Xing whispered, "With your position, if your employees heard you saying something like that, wouldn't they laugh at you?"
Qin Ce remained calm and stood beside her without changing his expression. "What's so funny about this?"
Before Qiao Xing could speak, he cut him off, saying, "You'd rather buy something for 20 yuan with free shipping than something for 10 yuan plus 8 yuan shipping. You should reflect on that first."
Qiao Xing frowned. "You've been looking at my phone again."
"I just caught a glimpse of it by chance; I didn't peek."
"I'll go get a new privacy screen protector in a bit."
Qin Ce moved his lips but didn't speak. He reached out and took the pumpkin that the shopkeeper had cut, then took out his phone to pay.
On the way back, Qiao Xing called him to stop the car because he needed to get his phone screen protector replaced. He stepped on the gas and sped past the phone store.
Qiao Xing was left speechless, both amused and exasperated by his actions.
He's becoming increasingly shameless.
I have to go to the driving school again this week, but Qiao Xing is busy with work, so we scheduled it for the weekend. The downside of the weekend is that it's crowded.
Early Sunday morning, Qin Ce took her to the driving school.
As she got out of the car, she happened to run into the woman from before, who was also getting out of a BMW 3 Series.
The two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously looked at the car the other was in.
When the woman saw that Qiao Xing was sitting in a Mercedes-Benz S400L, her face instantly turned extremely ugly.
She walked into the driving school almost through gritted teeth.
Qiao Xing followed her inside. As soon as she entered, the woman looked at her with disdain, as if Qiao Xing owed her money.
Qiao Xing was completely baffled. She didn't think she had offended her today.
Too lazy to pay attention to her, Qiao Xing finished signing in, found a spot, and took out her phone to play games.
She hadn't followed Yang Han's competition progress for a long time, and thinking about what Qin Ce had said that day, she wanted to ask them when they would be back.
Although it was Qin Ce who recommended the business, Big Bad Wolf Company is currently not doing well. In any case, let's let the company get through this difficult time first.
She opened the game, checked the competition information, and saw that it had progressed to the finals.
Looking at the three teams in the finals, I was surprised to see that Yang Han and his team were among them.
However, Yang Han wasn't online, and the competition hadn't started yet, so she quickly sent Yang Han a WeChat message to inquire about the competition.
