My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 35 Qiao Qiao Joins

Chen Yan didn’t hide anything. He directly mentioned that he was setting up a game company and hoped that Yu Qiao Qiao would consider working there part-time.

Chen Yan’s reasoning was that at his company, Yu Qiao Qiao could do what she liked, earn a higher income, have more time to study, and receive more care.

It was completely beneficial in every aspect.

At this point, Zhao Ying, who had been silent all afternoon, curiously asked, "If you let Qiao Qiao work at your company, wouldn’t that reveal your identity as a rich second generation?"

As soon as she said this, several of the girls immediately turned their attentions to Chen Yan.

Right. Hadn’t Chen Yan always been hiding his rich second-generation status?

If Qiao Qiao went to his company, wouldn’t that expose him?

Chen Yan secretly gave Zhao Ying a thumbs up in his mind.

Brother Ying is truly Brother Ying!

Definitely a godlike supporter!

The thing he most wanted to say, which would also be the easiest for the girls to believe, could finally be spoken.

With that thought, he coughed and said, "Actually... I had already confessed to Qiao Qiao about my rich second-generation status."

Yang Nuannuan: Eh?

Three little ones tilting their heads: Eh eh eh?

This was not what they had expected...

In fact, Chen Yan’s performance today had already garnered preliminary approval from the several girls.

But... beyond their approval, they also harbored a subtle concern.

That was the fact that Chen Yan had always been concealing his identity and the value of his gifts.

In relationships, the most important things are honesty and trust.

If a relationship was built on lies, it was very dangerous.

Chen Yan had concealed his background and had also given Yu Qiao Qiao expensive items whose value she did not know.

Time accumulated.

Even if the two of them really ended up together, once his secrets were exposed, given Yu Qiao Qiao’s personality, they would definitely break up.

And now, Chen Yan had used Zhao Ying’s words to claim that he had already confessed to Yu Qiao Qiao.

Immediately, Yang Nuannuan curiously asked, "Did you really confess to Qiao Qiao?"

Chen Yan nodded, "Yes."

"I told her yesterday. We even bought a car together." freēwēbηovel.c૦m

"Buying a car?!" Three little ones had the same surprised expression.

Chen Yan hastily explained, "It was to buy me a car."

"Oh, oh." Everyone relaxed.

Then Chen Yan pulled a 180-degree turn, "However, when buying the car, I noticed Qiao Qiao seemed to really like this one. So I’m contemplating whether to give it to her or not."

"Wow," the three little ones exclaimed again.

Yang Nuannuan furrowed her brows and said, "Chen Yan, I know you might not be good at dating, but you really can’t buy love with money."

"If you want to pursue Qiao Qiao, I think you should use your heart, not your money."

Chen Yan said, "I am using my heart."

"When I bought the car, I made a mistake, and I initially wanted to return it. But then, unexpectedly, I found out that Qiao Qiao really liked it, so I bought it in the end."

"I even asked her afterward if she liked the car."

"She said she did. That’s why I thought of giving it to her."

Yang Nuannuan: ...

Unexpectedly, she felt he really was sincere?

There must be something wrong with her brain...

But whatever. Qiao Qiao surely wouldn’t accept it. There was no need for her to worry too much.

After the meal, Chen Yan had officially made his way into Yu Qiao Qiao’s dormitory circle.

*Allies times five.*

And these allies agreed to go back and talk to Qiao Qiao about working at Chen Yan’s company. If she was truly interested, they would help persuade her.

But they also set three rules with Chen Yan.

One, Chen Yan could not bully Qiao Qiao.

Two, Chen Yan could not take advantage of the situation to coerce Qiao Qiao into doing things she didn’t like.

Three, Yu Qiao Qiao had to return to the dormitory on time each night...

Chen Yan agreed without any hesitation.

The issue was resolved happily for everyone, and the meal was enjoyed by all.

After dinner, Chen Yan asked the boss to pack two dishes for Zhao Ying and the others to take back to Yu Qiao Qiao, to prevent this naive girl from going hungry today since she had treated him to dinner yesterday.

Afterward... he sent off the girls as usual and then turned around and went home.

Watching his departing figure, Yang Nuannuan turned to Zhao Ying, "Brother Ying, do you think he was telling the truth?"

Zhao Ying was lost in thought.

Hearing Yang Nuannuan’s question, she came to her senses and thought for a moment, "It feels like he is hiding something. But it’s not a big deal."

"Especially his kindness and consideration towards Qiao Qiao, those are genuine."

With Zhao Ying’s words, Yang Nuannuan breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, Zhao Ying added lightly, "Though... I always feel like he has a secret."

"And it’s a big secret."

Yang Nuannuan looked at Zhao Ying: ?

Zhao Ying’s eyes were full of the gleam of gossip, "I’m so excited. I really want to know what that secret is..."

Yang Nuannuan: ...

As Zhao Ying’s roommate, Yang Nuannuan had long known about Zhao Ying’s character: usually lazy and indifferent to everything, except for gossip... she was exceptionally enthusiastic.

Usually, Zhao Ying would sleep during class, sometimes even skipping class to practice boxing.

But whenever there was gossip in their department or faculty, she was guaranteed to be the most punctual and the most excited one there.

It’s unknown whether being her target meant good luck or bad luck for Chen Yan...

In the following days, nothing much happened.

The company name was successfully approved, and all the formalities were completed.

Chen Yan drove to the government office, paid some money, got a seal made, and the company was officially launched.

Under the persuasion of her friends, Yu Qiao Qiao also agreed to work at Chen Yan’s company.

Chen Yan had an in-depth chat with her, and it was tentatively decided that her job would be... sculpting clay figures.

She would sculpt clay figures at the company during her free time.

If she didn’t have time, she would just go to class.

The only issue was that they could not agree on the salary.

The negotiation scene went like this:

Chen Yan, with a grand gesture, wanted to offer Yu Qiao Qiao a salary of ten thousand.

Yu Qiao Qiao bargained, asking for only one thousand.

Chen Yan disagreed, stating that not a cent less than ten thousand could be accepted.

So...

Yu Qiao Qiao turned around and walked away, quitting the job.

Seeing the boss he almost caught was about to escape, Chen Yan quickly made amends.

After much persuasion, to no avail, he had to agree to Yu Qiao Qiao’s salary demand: one thousand a month...

The moment the salary was settled, Chen Yan felt inexplicably like crying: it’s so! hard! to spend money these days!

Regardless, the company had been established and Yu Qiao Qiao had also joined. Chen Yan’s gaming empire had finally taken its first step.

Meanwhile, in Laohai district, in a nondescript teahouse, a few middle-aged men were sitting together playing cards and chatting.

"A pair of threes."

"A pair of twos, going higher."

"I pass. Hey? Lao Chen. Heard that young Chen quit his job again?"

The one called Lao Chen was a middle-aged man who somewhat resembled Chen Yan, indeed Chen Yan’s father.

He threw down a "5" and then sighed, saying, "Sigh. He quit long ago. It was last year."

His next player, a chubby man, threw a "10" and asked, "So what’s he doing now?"

Chen Yan’s father, annoyed, threw a "2" and said, "What else can he do? Dreaming at home all day."

"You tell me, what’s wrong with a government job. He just had to quit his job to make games."

"His mother and I didn’t support him, so he quit his job and is funding his own game-making."

"And even vowed to earn a house for me."

At this point, Lao Chen said angrily, "Earn a house, I doubt he can even earn enough for his own food! Hmph!"
