She looked ultra-casual in simple jeans, trousers rolled up. Her canvas shoes were rather beat up. She still looked feminine in her white T-shirt and a loose-fitting coat, but it was very different from how she used to dress. “After giving birth to Luna, I felt that it will be more comfortable to wear laid-back clothes like these. When I go to work, I wear business suits so I want to relax completely when I get home from work.” Vera Qin didn’t feel that she had changed anything. But if she really had changed, maybe it was the suffering that she had gone through. It made her mature and more stable. “By the way, are you staying for good?” They spoke in low voices, so as not to wake the sleeping child. “I don’t know yet. The company sent me over for one year. I’m just here to give them technical guidance. I don’t know how the management will decide after that.” Vera lightly stroked her child’s head as she lay on her lap. Bei
“My name is Vera Qin and I am a software engineer from MT headquarters.” Vera calmly stretched out her hand and greeted the frowning and indifferent man in front of her. Sean merely looked down at her slender hands. The woman in front of him was the same one he had met on the plane, but she was dressed much more casually then. Seeing that Sean Qiao did not respond, the secretary hurriedly spoke to ease the tension. “This is Mr. Sean Qiao, the president of Qiao Group.” Embarrassed, Vera Qin quickly retracted her hand. She did not expect him to be so cold and arrogant. That’s the problem with the older generation letting their spoiled children inherit multinational businesses like these, she mused. They’re so detached from reality, so entitled. Vera Qin smiled indifferently. “As expected, the president of Qiao Group is a Qiao.” Seeing Vera Qin’s slightly mocking eyes, Sean Qiao was unhappy. “You’re late for work on
“That is exactly what the chief engineer of MT is here for.” Sean got up immediately. His expression was gloomy. His eyebrows tightened as he glanced at Vera Qin and then strode away. Vera’s confident demeanor upset him. He returned to the president’s office and ordered the secretary to send him Vera Qin’s basic information. Kendra Su sent the requested information to the president’s office as quickly as possible. Vera Qin, female, 27 years old. 27 years old? At the age of 27, she had such a high self-esteem. It was obviously inconsistent with her age. Family member, a four-year-old daughter. Postgraduate, a masteral degree from a University in Macau. Currently a special engineer of MT software technology. She has won many important awards in international software programming competitions. She has been involved in the field of software development, software programming, computer mobile phones, chip deve
He was lost for a moment. The feeling of holding her hand in his...it was so familiar. Sean let go of her hand. Something flashed in Sean’s eyes, then it was gone. “If you have the ability, show it. If you don’t, I\'ll definitely send you back. I warn you, focus on your work and don’t provoke me as a man. You can’t afford the consequences.” “Why you--” “Get off the car.” Vera Qin angrily got out. She just wanted to be on the same page as him. Was there a problem with how she communicated, was it her fault? One thing was for sure, he was obviously trying to bend her to his will. ... Vera drove to the kindergarten and was surprised to see Luna coming out with Sean Qiao’s son. “Mummy.” Luna happily threw herself into Vera\'s arms. Thomas Qiao had a jealous expression on his face. “Hello Auntie.” “Tommy, good to see you! I didn’t expect to see you again so soon. Auntie is very happ
Vera Qin was not optimistic about this foldable phone. She felt that there was nothing attractive except the price. Director Hao begged to differ. “But if the configuration is hard enough, the cost will definitely be high. If it is higher than similar products of other brands, we will have no advantage.” “We can’t step on other people’s footprints, we have to innovate so we can stand out. Let the design department explore it carefully. In the end it has to be decided by Qiao, I‘m merely here to give my opinions.” Everyone fell silent for a moment. “Director Hao, give me two minutes to configure this phone.” Vera Qin still feels wrong, but her scope of work is limited to the hardware and software inside the machine. She only needs to do her own thing. As for what kind of products the company wants to list, it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with her. A few minutes later, Vera Qin used the computer to make a file and gave two co
“Mr. Qiao, thank you for coming,” Vera said with a neutral tone of voice. “I didn’t expect that you would grace this welcome party with your presence.” After having learned her lesson last time, she spoke very carefully for fear of being misunderstood. She didn’t want anyone to think she had any ulterior motives. “Then have a drink.” While Sean Qiao spoke, the assistant beside him had already poured her some wine. “Oh no, please, Mr. Qiao...” Vera Qin just wanted to refuse, but this time Director Hao interrupted her. “Director Qin, you must drink Mr. Qiao’s wine. He’ll never forgive you if you don’t.” Vera Qin could not refuse it. “In that case, I’ll have a drink.” However, after she had started, she couldn’t stop. Vera downed one cup after another, until her face was flushed. Now that she had loosened up, Vera didn’t seem intimidating at all, but rather very charming. Sean Qiao was lost for a moment.
It was obvious what she meant. For so many years, she has kept her distance from any man, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble. However, Sean Qiao had fallen sleep in her bedroom, by accident. If word comes out, nobody would blame him. By default, she’d be the topic of gossip, an immoral woman who, as far as everyone was concerned, had seduced the president. “I was going to leave. I didn’t want to get involved, especially since you’re an attractive single woman. It was your friend who suddenly had to leave and asked me to take care of you and your daughter.” Sean’s eyes focused on Vera‘s somewhat messy morning face. “Mr. Qiao, please don’t speak of this to anyone else. I’m a single mother. People use the word contaminated to describe me. I’m not that kind of woman, I’m not out to seduce you.” Vera has given up on dating a long time ago. She was not the kind who would seduce a man with a family. Sean Qiao could easily make it look like s
But weighing the two choices, Sean Qiao chose to give in and have breakfast with them. Vera Qin reluctantly prepared breakfast, and after Luna washed her hands, she sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted with Sean Qiao. “Uncle, I’m in the same class as Brother Tommy, and Brother Tommy takes care of me very much.” “Yes, he is older than you, isn’t he?” Suddenly, Sean Qiao thought of something. “How old are you, Luna?” “Five years old.” “The same year as Tommy,” Sean noted. “When is your birthday?” “This...I forgot, Mommy knows. My birthday has just passed, my birthday was before the new year.” Sean Qiao asked suddenly, “Before the New Year? Then your birthday should be similar to Tommy, his birthday is also just before the New Year.” After a pause, Sean continued asking the child. “Who gave you your name?” “It’s Mommy,” Luna said happily, and raised her arm at Sean. “It’s because I have a crescent
