The other party’s expression turned visibly ugly, but he still did not flare up. “Senior Sinuo, we met before you left the country. I’m Xue Xue.”
There was a pause, then realization dawned. “Ah, so you’re the one who discussed medical knowledge at the banquet and spoke so eloquently but with so many loopholes…”
Xue Xue bit her lip tightly, her expression turning even uglier.
Kang Sinuo realized that he was being a little too blunt. She cleared her throat and quickly tried to smooth things over. “That’s in the past. It doesn’t count. You’ve been admitted to Imperial Capital University now. You’re outstanding.”
Xue Xue’s expression improved slightly. When she saw Kang Sinuo, her eyes darted around before she said with deep sympathy, “Senior Sinuo, I heard that many people are spreading rumors…”
She looked as if she wanted to say something.
“What about?”
“Rumor has it that you and Senior Jin Lu are a famous golden couple, but someone interfered in your relationship. While you were away, someone has been flirting with Senior Jin Lu. That’s why when you came back that day to give a speech, Senior Jin Lu… Actually, it’s not Senior Jin Lu’s fault…”
Xue Xue said as she peeked at Kang Sinuo’s expression.
Just now, Kang Sinuo had made her feel uncomfortable. Now that she saw the hurt in her eyes, Xue Xue felt quite happy.
She couldn’t fight back openly, but it still felt good to stab her covertly.
“So?” Kang Sinuo didn’t seem to care, but that was a false front. “Jin Lu and I are just friends. Nothing else.”
Seeing her like this, Xue Xue only smiled and did not say anything else.
“I understand. We just don’t like that so-called junior who doesn’t know her limits and keeps pestering Senior Jin Lu.”
Kang Sinuo frowned. “Sheng Yang is quite capable.”
At the very least, from the way she shone in the competition with the Ivy League students, how Brother Jin Lu admired her so much, and how she was managing the entire Weixing Underground Auction House so well, it was obvious that she was a very capable person. Kang Sinuo just wanted to get to the point.
Moreover, she was related to Sheng Yang. Hearing others talk about Sheng Yang and belittle her family, she was a little angry.
Xue Xue scoffed at Kang Sinuo’s words. What a fool. She got the short end of the stick here but was still trying to help the other party. She must have become stupid from studying.
Forget it, she couldn’t wake up someone who was pretending to be asleep. Xue Xue asked another question with a burning gaze. “Senior Sinuo, I heard that you’re going to Shengrui Biotechnology Company to be a research and development member?”
Kang Sinuo nodded, her eyes bright with amusement at the mention.
That was one of her most recent accomplishments.
Shengrui Biotechnology Company was the most popular biological company in recent years. Although it did not belong to the university’s laboratory rating, the laboratories inside were far superior to that of an S-rank laboratory.
It was very difficult to enter. She had to pass seven rounds of assessment before she successfully got in. There were even experts gathered inside, and many of them were there for the boss.
Not only did the boss of Shengrui Biotechnology Company have economic strength, but he also had a lot of brainpower. It was said that he was a super talented person, and his strength might be far above Brother Jin Lu’s.
Kang Sinuo was looking forward to meeting him even before she saw him.
Xue Xue stared at Kang Sinuo with jealousy. She was not as capable as Kang Sinuo to become Zhao Caihua’s disciple and have such a dazzling title. As a result, she was rejected in the first round of the interview with Shengrui Corporation.
