At lunchtime, everyone gathered around Sheng Ning’an, trying to probe intentionally or unintentionally.
But Sheng Ning’an kept her mouth tightly shut, and after probing for a long time, they couldn’t find anything out.
Someone did, however, gather some news from the HR department and learned that she was arranged to enter the Company by Assistant Zhao.
Assistant Zhao is always by Mr. Sheng’s side, so arranging someone for an internship at the Company doesn’t seem unusual.
However, Zhao Yi Technology has always valued employees’ abilities. Even if someone is arranged into the Company by Assistant Zhao, if she lacks abilities, she probably won’t last long in the secretary department.
Thinking they had figured out Sheng Ning’an’s background, everyone’s attention on her suddenly dropped significantly. With Hong Qing absent, the others appeared very busy, basically ignoring her. Nobody assigned her new tasks, even up to the end of the workday.
Sheng Ning’an wasn’t worried; she had been mentally prepared, knowing that every intern would face some level of difficulty or cold-shouldering when first entering the Company.
That she would encounter such a situation was not surprising to her at all.
After hitting walls with several people, Sheng Ning’an directly got up and went to the pantry, intending to make herself a cup of coffee to relax, but she couldn’t find where the sugar jar was.
"Are you looking for this?" Suddenly, a hand handed her the sugar jar.
Sheng Ning’an took it and said, "Thanks!"
"You’re welcome." The person replied with a smile.
Only then did Sheng Ning’an see the girl’s face clearly; she was very young and looked somewhat familiar, likely someone from the secretary department too.
The girl said amicably, "It’s your first day at the Company today; does it feel strange? It’s always at the start of an internship, but it gets better." Original content can be found at novel⁂fire.net
"By the way, I’m Shi Zhen, ’Shi’ from ’Xi Shi,’ and ’Zhen’ from ’steadfast.’ I remember you said you’re Sheng Ning’an? I’ll call you An’an from now on! I’m an intern too, but I came to the Company a month earlier than you."
"Hello!" Sheng Ning’an nodded at her.
"Which school did you graduate from? I studied at Jing University, you’re not from Jing University too, are you?" Shi Zhen asked, pretending to be casual.
"No," Sheng Ning’an replied.
She then mentioned her school.
This information was not a secret, and there was no reason to hide it.
A flash of surprise crossed Shi Zhen’s face; being young and inexperienced, she couldn’t hide her thoughts. Her gaze on Sheng Ning’an instantly became more complex, with a hint of evaluation.
She knew that school, it was right next to Jing University; although considered a key undergraduate institution, it couldn’t compare to Jing University.
She had graduated from Jing University and had even gone abroad for a year and a half of exchange, and upon returning to the country, she participated in Zhao Yi Technology’s interview, ultimately beating other interviewers and snagging the offer from Zhao Yi Technology.
At the time, several people had interviewed for the secretary department alongside her; all were graduates of prestigious schools, including Jing University, yet only she stayed in the end.
She initially thought she was quite impressive, but considering her efforts, she ended up interning alongside a student from a regular college, she felt an inexplicable discomfort.
Moreover, everyone in the office was just discussing that the other party had connections.
Now it seemed likely to be true.
Moments later, her expression returned to normal, and she smiled at Sheng Ning’an, saying, "Your surname is Sheng, and our Mr. Sheng is also Sheng. You two wouldn’t happen to be related, would you?"
Sheng Ning’an: "No relation, it’s just a coincidence."
