Chapter 120 It’s Hard for You to Make Plans for Me
Qiao Ruoxing was a little surprised.
What did Qiao Xusheng want to see her for? Could it be that he regretted giving her the jade bracelet the night before?
Qiao Xusheng, in Qiao Ruoxing's opinion, was very stingy.
He Yurou said that he was probably afraid of living in poverty when he was a child, and he was stingy after he had money, not only to her and her mother, but also to himself.
He Yurou was completely the opposite. She could make money and spend money. Maybe it was because of their different values that the main topic of every quarrel was money.
Qiao Xusheng disliked He Yurou's lavish spending and lack of restraint, while He Yurou felt that Qiao Xusheng was too narrow-minded and too concerned about gains and losses. When meeting with big customers, he was reluctant to buy a suit worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, and he was reluctant to book a decent hotel, for fear that he would lose money if the order was not negotiated.
But to say that Qiao Xusheng was stingy, it was not to the point, at least he was quite generous to his relatives.
Qiao Xusheng is a college student from a small town. In their era, he was the first person to pass the exam and settle down in a big city, so he is quite famous in the small town.
After his company started to improve, the news spread quickly to the town, and all the relatives from all over the country came to make friends.
Qiao Xusheng is also a face-conscious person. As long as people ask, he will arrange everything that can be arranged. Their company is full of relatives from their town.
Her grandparents died early, and she didn't see them many times, but those uncles and aunts left a deep impression on her. They often relied on Qiao Xusheng's name to bully the company.
He was not stingy at all to support these people who were doing nothing, but he would talk about her mother buying a bag for a long time.
She grew up so much, except for the dowry when she got married, the most expensive thing Qiao Xusheng gave her was the piano at home. Even the piano was bought reluctantly under the urging of He Yurou.
He Yurou always said that Qiao Xusheng was used to hardship and didn't like extravagance, and she thought so too.
But after He Yurou got into trouble, Qiao Xusheng's actions made her realize clearly that Qiao Xusheng was not stingy, but heartless.
He was willing to spend money on things that were beneficial to him, whether it was reputation or profit. Once it lost its value, he would kick you out without mercy.
So Qiao Ruoxing had no guilt in extorting him for a bracelet, and even felt that he had extorted too little.
Looking at the flashing name on the caller ID, Qiao Ruoxing thought for a moment, and still pressed the answer button.
"Hello."
"Ruoxing," Qiao Xusheng said gently, "Are you feeling better today?"
Qiao Ruoxing's eyebrows and heart skipped a beat.
Did Qiao Xusheng rarely show such a kind fatherly side to her? If so, it must be because he had something to ask for.
She said calmly, "Much better."
"How did you get food poisoning for no reason? How's your appetite these past two days? I asked my aunt to make some wontons. You've been wanting to eat them before, right? I'll send someone to deliver them to you later."
She wanted to eat wontons a few years ago, so it's hard for him to come up with such an excuse.
"Dad, don't bother. There's an aunt at home. If I want to eat it, she can make it."
"Different people make it, and the taste is definitely different. Dad remembers that you like to eat this."
Qiao Ruoxing pursed her lips and didn't refuse again, "Thank you, Dad."
"We're a family, and thanking you seems strange," Qiao Xusheng paused, and then said, "Actually, Dad has been feeling bad these days. You said it's just a white truffle. Who cares who eats it? We're all family. What's the difference? Why am I so confused and still treat you..." He sighed, his tone full of regret, "Actually, I regretted it when I came out of the hospital that day. Parents apologize to their children, but sometimes they just can't bring themselves to do it. The bracelet I gave you that day was just an apology from your father. If you still complain in your heart, just say that your father doesn't blame you."
A few years ago, she might really be moved by Qiao Xusheng's words.
In the years before He Yurou got into trouble, she still had a fantasy of Qiao Xusheng as her father because she beautified her father's image with Qiao Ruoxing.
However, after He Yurou got into trouble, his ruthless and cold-blooded actions had already worn away the father-daughter relationship in her heart.
He was essentially a selfish and unfeeling person. The "fatherly love" he showed to her was all purposeful.
She mocked in her heart, but said lightly, "Forget it, it's all over. You are also doing it for that family."
"It's great that you think so," Qiao Xusheng breathed a sigh of relief, "There is one more thing. Siyao went to work at Jiangsheng. She is new here and may not understand many things. You can talk to Jingyan and ask him to bear more."
Qiao Ruoxing's face suddenly became ugly.
"Doesn't she have a job? Why did she come to Jiangsheng?"
"Her previous one didn't have much room for development. It happened that Jiangsheng was recruiting people a while ago, so I asked her to try it. I didn't expect it to be successful. She just started working today. I was thinking of having a family gathering to celebrate for her. Thinking that you are not in good health recently, I gave up. It's the same to gather another day."
Qiao Ruoxing couldn't believe it.
Jiang Sheng's threshold is so high that every year they recruit only master's degree students, and there are very few undergraduates. Even if they recruit undergraduates, they are undergraduates from first-class universities. Qiao Siyao's third-rate university can't even reach the threshold, so how could she pass?
And there was no news about this matter before, and Gu Jingyan never mentioned it.
Qiao Ruoxing said with a stern face and no expression, "Jingyan doesn't like me to interfere in the company's affairs. I'm afraid I can't say anything. Since Qiao Siyao can get in with her own ability, it won't be a problem for her to survive there. I think you worry too much."
"How could it be? Jingyan will take care of her a little more for your sake," Qiao Xusheng paused and said, "Siyao is in Jiangsheng, and if there is any situation in Jingyan, you can know it at the first time, right?"
The implication is that Qiao Siyao's presence in Jiangsheng can be regarded as a spy for her next to Gu Jingyan, which is convenient for her to check on him and consolidate her position.
At first glance, it seems that he is really planning for her. In fact, he only cares about Qiao Siyao.
Jiangsheng Group is different from the small business of their Qiao family.
The world's top 500 companies, domestic industry leaders, and a gathering place for top talents. When Qiao Siyao entered, the people she met were completely different from those she had met before. With the gold plated by Jiang Sheng, she would not only be the adopted daughter of the Qiao family, but also a title like XX high-end talent.
Whether it was for her future marriage or her future career, it was a breakthrough across classes.
Qiao Xusheng had never been so dedicated to his biological daughter.
This matter was like a thorn stuck in her throat, making it difficult for her to swallow.
She sneered, "It's hard for you to make plans for me."
