Old Mr. Qiao's face darkened, and he put down his teacup heavily on the coffee table, glaring at him. "How can you speak to your father like that?"
Qiao Xu, accustomed to his bluntness, realized he had spoken out of turn and quickly covered his mouth.
Seeing his son's demeanor, Qiao Father was annoyed, but he managed to suppress his anger. "Can you ask Qiao Ci to come back when you have time? She's still a daughter of the Qiao family after all. Now that Qi Che has become a rising star, if she doesn't have a family to support her, it will be difficult for her to establish herself by Qi Che's side."
"Dad, you're overthinking. That kid Qi Che loves Xiao Ci very much. He won't have any wandering thoughts, so don't worry." Qiao Xu was greatly shocked that his father was actually starting to care about Qiao Ci!
Qiao Father: ...
Why was his son so foolish, unable to understand simple words?
So, he decided to be more direct. "Um, I heard that the holographic technology Qi Che is researching is looking for cooperative companies. Do you think our company has a chance to compete?"
"I haven't heard that Qi Che is looking for cooperative companies. It's other companies that want to cooperate with him. Dad, where did you hear this news? Qi Che is the only one with holographic technology. A lot of companies want to cooperate with him, and he only gets to choose. Why would he need to look?" Qiao Xu, though understanding his father's intention, pretended to be oblivious.
A father knows his son best, and Qiao Father knew Qiao Xu was doing this on purpose.
He simply said, "Our company is also planning to develop in the game industry, and you will be fully responsible for the gaming sector. I hope you can secure the agency rights for holographic games."
As he spoke, he even got up and patted his shoulder. "You've always had a good relationship with Qiao Ci. I believe you can negotiate the cooperation at the lowest cost."
Qiao Xu's face immediately turned bitter. "Dad, we've always been in the construction industry. Suddenly making such a big leap into gaming is obviously unrealistic. Besides, after how you treated Xiao Ci back then, would she give us the agency rights for holographic games? Fully responsible, aren't you thinking too much?"
"...Moreover, Qi Che is the most important one. If Xiao Ci contradicts Qi Che to help me get the agency rights, what will happen to her in the future?"
Qiao Father was extremely angered by his constant concern for Qiao Ci and directly told him to get out, saying that if he couldn't secure the holographic game agency rights, he shouldn't come back home.
Qiao Xu looked at his increasingly heartless father and suddenly felt a chill.
He stood still and looked at Qiao Father for a few seconds, then after a moment of silence, he turned and left.
Qiao Sisi, who was eavesdropping in the corridor, quickly hid. After Qiao Xu left, she walked into the study...

Qiao Sisi took on the task of negotiating the holographic game cooperation plan with Qi Che. Although Qiao Father didn't trust her, Qiao Xu was unwilling to do it, so he let her try as a last resort.
If she could successfully negotiate it, she could be fully responsible for the gaming sector in the future.
However, if she failed, she would have to obediently return to a commercial marriage and marry an old man older than her father.
Qiao Sisi looked at her increasingly charming reflection in the mirror and secretly encouraged herself, telling herself that she could only succeed and not fail. She had to find a way to persuade Qi Che to cooperate with her.
Thinking of the male god who had always captivated her, Qiao Sisi couldn't help but blush.
However, the ideal was plump, but reality was lean.
Qiao Sisi didn't even get to see Qi Che, let alone talk about cooperation.
Qiao Father directly arranged for her to marry an old man thirty years her senior. The old man also had a difficult daughter, two years older than Qiao Sisi, who tormented Qiao Sisi to the point of being unrecognizable within just one year.
Finally, Qiao Father shamelessly went to see Qi Che himself. For the sake of being Qiao Ci's biological father, Qi Che saw him.
When it came to cooperation, Qi Che directly refused. Qiao Ci was wealthy, and he didn't need to cooperate with any capital. Moreover, the holographic game belonged to Qiao Ci, and he wouldn't do anything that Qiao Ci disliked.
Qiao Father's blood pressure rose, and he directly fell ill from anger, vowing never to acknowledge Qiao Ci as his daughter again. However, Qiao Ci didn't feel sad at all.
At Qiao Ci and Qi Che's wedding, Qiao Xu had to attend secretly because his father wouldn't allow it...
In this world, Qi Che lived to be 90 years old. By then, he had become the world's richest man relying on holographic games. By his side, there was always only one woman named Qiao Ci.
From school uniforms to wedding dresses, and then to old age.
Everyone envied their relationship, writing countless versions of their love story, each version detailing how the handsome and devoted Qi Che doted on the little woman Qiao Ci.
Only one novel, titled "Quick Transmigration: The Psycho Host Spoils Her Husband," wrote about how Qiao Ci doted on Qi Che and helped this man reach the pinnacle of the world.
Those who read the novel couldn't help but sneer, thinking it was a fantasy. But those who had followed Qi Che all along knew that Qi Che was the kept man, protected by Qiao Ci.
In short, they were envious, very envious!!!

"Host, the mission is successfully completed again!! The accumulated points are 900,000. One more mission and it will be 1 million. Host, you are the god of Little Spoon, love you~"
Little Spoon's soft and cute electronic voice rang out. Qiao Ci looked at the familiar system space and skillfully clicked on her personal panel.
Looking at the 90% progress, she couldn't help but smile.
Soon, she would be able to see her own child.
Little Spoon didn't dare to dance this time. When it wanted to ask Qiao Ci if she wanted to rest, Qiao Ci's faint voice came through, "Teleport, next world."
"Alright, let's go to the next world!!!"
The host was so active in completing missions that Little Spoon was a little touched. Recalling how she was extremely resistant to missions at the beginning, but now she could actively request them, this was all love for its Little Spoon~
Uh, if the love wasn't enough, then another child!!!

"Qiao Ci, Mental Level: None... a complete waste."
???
As soon as Qiao Ci entered the small world, a full-of-emotion electronic voice reached her ears.
Immediately after, bursts of laughter filled the entire space, and malicious intent surged towards Qiao Ci, who had already opened her eyes.
"This is hilarious, everyone. The AI that tests mental power calls her a waste. Just how much of a waste must she be, hahaha~"
"Whether it's mecha operation or basic theory, Qiao Ci is a waste. Unlike our Goddess Qiao Xi, sigh, having a waste of a sister like this is truly embarrassing."
"Take my Xi goddess away. Don't put her together with Qiao Ci, this waste. She's not worthy!!!"
"Heh heh, I even suspect if Qiao Ci is the biological daughter of the Qiao family. Qiao Xi is so outstanding, how can Qiao Ci be so useless?"
Qiao Ci slowly looked at everyone around her, her gaze calm. "I request another mental power test."
