Li Sigan walked out of the library and felt that the sky outside was brilliantly blue, the sunshine bathing the earth—a rare, beautiful day. He took a deep breath of fresh air and felt completely refreshed inside.
Now, many classmates had already started looking for internship positions; some had found them, while others were still searching.
Liu Xiaole belonged to the latter group. She had tried a few, but unfortunately, none of them were satisfactory. Not to mention the salaries were too low, the internship locations were all far away from her home.
Li Si suggested she give Mo Si a try—after all, it was his own company, so why bother competing with others?
At first, Liu Xiaole wasn’t too keen, feeling that it would be shameful to get in through connections.
When she went home and her mom found out, she got an earful about not being ambitious enough: Mo Si had great benefits, and interns received a monthly base salary of 2,000—an absolutely high wage. Even if she got in because of Li Si, such a good opportunity was right in front of her—if she couldn’t seize it now, what could she accomplish in the future?
Feeling helpless, Liu Xiaole turned to Li Si for help again and finally got into Mo Si. In the end, Leng Mochen placed her in the secretary team for now, doing some odd jobs.
Meanwhile, An Zhengran ended up joining Mo Si as well, though he got in by passing the interview. He was assigned to the sales department, and the two occasionally ran into each other at the company. Li Si joked that they might develop an office romance, which made Liu Xiaole roll her eyes hard...
Lost in thought, Li Si was suddenly stopped on the campus main path lined with phoenix trees. Looking up, she saw it was Ling Wei, someone who hadn’t bothered her in a while.
"What do you want?" Li Si asked bluntly and directly, having been influenced by being around Leng Mochen for so long.
Especially when it came to people she didn’t like, she didn’t even feel like talking. Ling Wei had always given her a bad vibe—it wasn’t about looks, but simply that their atmospheres clashed.
Not to mention the few things Ling Wei had done, which made Li Si despise her to the extreme. Honestly, who could be friends with someone who had designs on their boyfriend? Either their brain was kicked by a donkey or caught in a door crack—think of someone like Yin Qi!
Ling Wei’s lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but facing Li Si’s icy and arrogant expression, she hesitated. If they’d had a good relationship before, it might’ve been fine—like Liu Xiaole. At least then, a single word from her could’ve secured a spot at Mo Si without even needing to go through interviews.
Ever since she heard that Liu Xiaole had joined Mo Si for an internship, her heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat—it was unbearable.
She had also tried Mo Si’s interview, but didn’t even pass the preliminary round. She had no idea why, and even suspected that Li Si and Leng Mochen might’ve said something that led Mo Si to exclude her.
Seeing Ling Wei’s eyes darting around without saying anything, Li Si frowned and said, "If you don’t have anything important, I’m leaving!" She definitely didn’t have the time to chat with her. She had been in such a good mood, but seeing Ling Wei had instantly ruined it. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelꞁire.net
Ling Wei hurriedly reached out to stop Li Si, forcing an embarrassed smile as she said, "Don’t leave! Li Si, I really do have something to talk to you about. Sigh, I admit I was out of line before—speaking without thinking. I want to apologize for everything in the past.
Li Si, considering we’re classmates and it’s fate, you can’t not forgive me!"
Li Si looked up at the sky, speechless. What kind of day was it today, for usually self-important people to bow their heads and apologize to her? Still, from what she remembered, nothing particularly big had ever happened between the two of them—was this really necessary?
She waved her hand impatiently. "If you’ve got something to say, just say it. Don’t waste time with useless talk!"
Ling Wei, seeing Li Si’s attitude, instinctively clenched her fingers. She almost wanted to claw at Li Si’s flawlessly fair skin, which under the sunlight looked smooth enough to pinch water from. Ling Wei had to admit—Li Si’s natural beauty was undeniable.
But she soon felt resentful, thinking, Li Si is just slightly better-looking than me—what else does she have? Just give her the opportunity! If Ling Wei had the chance, everything Li Si had today would be hers.
Ling Wei took a deep breath and continued smiling as she said, "Okay! I know you’re busy! Li Si, I’ll be direct—I heard Liu Xiaole got into Mo Si for an internship. That’s your boyfriend’s company, right? Can you help me get in for an internship too? I’m begging you!"
She thought to herself, even Han Xin could endure the humiliation of crouching under another man’s legs; lowering her head and apologizing now would be worth it if she got what she wanted.
Li Si couldn’t believe her ears—was there something seriously wrong with Ling Wei’s brain? How inflated did her sense of entitlement have to be for her to think Li Si would let her intern at Mo Si?
For what? To find an opportunity to seduce Leng Mochen and make trouble for her? One Secretary Du was bad enough; would she assemble an entire team of grievances? Just picturing it almost made Li Si laugh out loud.
