Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Do You Still Want the Internship Opportunity?
Early the next morning, Li Qiao went to the university to attend her thesis defense.
Due to the scandal that had shocked the campus during the previous defense, the university had specially arranged for Li Qiao to have a solo defense this time.
Perhaps out of concern that someone might target Li Qiao again, two teachers from the Academic Affairs Office were assigned to guard the door of the classroom vigilantly.
The defense went very smoothly, and in less than half an hour, Li Qiao’s defense was over, and the thesis committee gave an immediate pass.
The most promising student in the Bioengineering Department in recent years, who had been reserved in advance by the research institute, might well become the live advertisement for the recruitment of South Sea Medical University’s Bioengineering Department.
The teachers on the thesis committee kindly reminded Li Qiao with an amiable expression that she shouldn’t forget the school’s devoted cultivation if she became a researcher in the future, and other such courtesies.
With the conclusion of the thesis defense, Li Qiao’s university career also came to an end.
Once she received her diploma and left campus, she would be as free as the birds in the sky and the fish in the sea.
Life itself was opening up many more infinite possibilities.
Li Qiao walked out of the comprehensive building, her gaze lightly swept over the surrounding playground and buildings, and finally a touch of melancholy stirred within her indifferent eyes.
What should she do in the future?
“Li Qiao, I’ve been expelled.
Are you satisfied now?”
Jiang Yi appeared behind her at some point, and in just two or three days, she looked both haggard and disheveled.
Wearing a duckbill cap, a black mask still hanging from her chin, and the once pretty and luxurious dress was now wrinkled, stripped of the glory and ease once admired on campus.
That post still stuck at the top of the forum’s homepage indeed prophesied Jiang Yi’s downfall.
Now, she truly tasted the bitterness of social death.
Hearing this, Li Qiao covered her eyes, and when she leisurely turned around, her tone was cool.
Jiang Yi’s breathing hitched, and hatred and unwillingness crept into her brows and eyes.
Her hands, rigid at her sides, clenched into fists.
Despite the hatred in her heart, she still had to bow to reality.
“Li Qiao, considering we shared a dorm for four years, could you please…”
“No!” Li Qiao interrupted indifferently, her brows and eyes expressing a casual disdain.
Jiang Yi trembled all over, her breathing becoming ragged.
Li Qiao glanced at her coldly, and as she turned away, she dropped a chilling remark, “Another word, and I’ll have you thrown out of South Sea.”
That sentence effectively halted Jiang Yi’s steps.
If it had been three days ago, she would never believe that Li Qiao had the power to do so.
But when she heard firsthand that Chen Lizhou had been fired from his position, and that the Chen family’s business, which had seen some success, was destroyed overnight, she was completely bewildered.
Who exactly was backing this classmate she had targeted for four years?
Elsewhere, Li Qiao returned to her car with an expressionless face.
She didn’t start the engine but turned around to open the glove box and took out the Golden Desert Eagle.
The gun’s icy color shimmered in her palm, the chill of the metal soothing the restlessness in her heart.
Did she feel sorry for Jiang Yi?
All was merely the wheel of karma.
In fact, she could have made Jiang Yi’s life even more miserable, but she was too lazy to waste any more energy on her.
After a while, Li Qiao put the Desert Eagle back into the glove box, and as she started the car, her phone in her pocket rang.
She took it out and saw it was an unfamiliar number, “Who is this?”
The person on the other end of the phone whistled playfully, “Sweetheart, I gave you my business card, and you still haven’t contacted me?
Don’t you want that internship opportunity anymore?”
