Qiao Yaruan made a dismissive noise. “The Empress Dowager’s residence is in the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility. My son, the Emperor, resides in the throne room.” Qiao Yaruan smirked. “I’m saying that Director Chu has told me everything. You must be excited, right? Touched? Willing to give in?”
The words ‘willing to give in’ caused Shui Anluo to shiver.
Though she had not given herself up willingly, she had still been eaten up completely.
“What did he say?” Chu Ningyi had not said anything to her. He simply tossed her around like a ruthless tyrant and told her that she belonged to him. She belonged to this self-centered braggart.
Qiao Yaruan felt shaken. After a long pause, she finally realized that the mighty Director Chu had not told her friend a thing.
Qiao Yaruan felt that he was being completely unreasonable. Was it possible that the mighty Director Chu’s IQ was too high or because his EQ was too low?
“It’s nothing, just a sudden heartbreak,” Qiao Yaruan said through gritted teeth.
“You still have that kind of thing?” Shui Anluo clicked her tongue in reply.
“It’s my face, alright?” Qiao Yaruan retorted through gritted teeth.
Shui Anluo curled her lips and massaged her sore thighs. She then said, “Alright, alright, whatever you say, Empress Dowager.”
“Stop patronizing me, I’ve got something to tell you.” Qiao Yaruan stopped humoring her and finally began to speak seriously. “I’m guessing that you never saw what the old man had said in the group chat. That sl*t Lin Qianchen had graded you poorly in the hospital’s feedback. You’re one of the three people that the old fellow had criticized.”
When Shui Anluo heard what Qiao Yaruan had said, her heart thumped. The old fellow was their supervisor and also a stubborn person who had always focused on marks when discussing matters.
“You do know that if your internship’s mentor gives you poor feedback three times, your internship will become hopeless. You’ll probably have to stay in school for another year,” Qiao Yaruan explained in mild frustration. She felt no lack of disdain towards Lin Qianchen. “Why don’t you speak to Chu Ningyi and change your mentor? Anyone else is better than that two-faced Lin Qianchen.”
“Chu Ningyi doesn’t want me to do the internship. Do you think that’s even possible?” Shui Anluo replied in frustration. “Besides, he’s now downstairs having an intimate conference with his ex-girlfriend.”
“Oh dear, has the vinegar jar spilled over?” Qiao Yaruan clicked her tongue. “Why won’t you just admit it, you like him.”
Shui Anluo rolled her eyes. After being with a devoted male romance fangirl like Qiao Yaruan for such a long time, she had automatically translated the term of ‘having feelings for someone’ into a verb. She, on the other hand, was simply being dragged along with her.
“By the way, didn’t that old specialist ask you to write some report? You’d better write it properly. Hand it in immediately when she gets back. If you write it well, perhaps the old specialist will be forced to take a liking to you.”
“Didn’t I hand that over to the two-faced woman? She told me that the old specialist was outstation and wasn’t back yet,” Shui Anluo sighed. “That’s also to say, I only have two more chances?” She already has one bad feedback. If she receives two more she would be forced to stay back another year.
If she does not leave with her mother, she must not receive any further bad remarks.
“Damn it, this is harder than starting up a Taobao business,” Shui Anluo cursed softly.
“You can say that. There’s one feedback per month. If you continue to tag along with that two-faced woman, I believe that you can just stay in school for another year.”
“Ahhhhh… I should’ve just crippled her when I pushed her that day.” Shui Anluo gritted her teeth and cried out.
