Since He Xin came back, Qiao Yuxian hasn’t had a break from work.
Finally, she truly experienced a real internship job.
Even though Qiao Yuxian said the internship was easy, He Xin didn’t give her much work either.
Although Qiao Yuxian didn’t explicitly say it, He Xin could sense something was up.
Just a little inquiry at the company revealed what was going on.
Qiao Yuxian said it that way intentionally, avoiding looking like she was making a complaint, while letting He Xin understand the situation.
Of course, there was also a bit of testing the waters with He Xin.
If He Xin turned a blind eye to what An Zhiyi did.
Her next step would be to wander near the director’s office.
Thankfully, He Xin understood the situation and arranged work for her, helping her avoid a lot of things.
Finally, after a busy week, after work on Friday, Qiao Yuxian and Zhao Meng went shopping.
By coincidence, they ran into He Xin at Jinxia Building.
He Xin was out shopping by herself, carrying a bag full of pink dolls.
After meeting, the three of them decided to shop together and later went for a meal.
They went to a barbecue place, Zhao Meng was in charge of grilling, while Qiao Yuxian and He Xin were in charge of eating.
Qiao Yuxian sat next to Zhao Meng, not holding back at all.
Whenever they went out from her dorm, Zhao Meng was always responsible for grilling, and they were responsible for eating.
Furthermore, Qiao Yuxian herself wouldn’t do it.
Either someone had to grill for her.
Or she just wouldn’t go to a barbecue place.
He Xin sat across from Zhao Meng, was polite initially, but the meat Zhao Meng grilled turned out to be inexplicably delicious, so she didn’t hold back.
"If Zhao Meng were a guy, whoever marries her would be lucky." He Xin joked.
"It’s alright if someone wants to marry me." Zhao Meng said.
He Xin suddenly looked up, glanced at her, eyes momentarily froze in an obscure way, then laughed, "It’s not impossible. Love is free and equal."
Zhao Meng looked at her and laughed.
Qiao Yuxian also glanced at He Xin and said, "Not bad."
She picked up the juice at her side, raised her drink, "This one is for love freedom, also for love equality."
The three laughed and clinked their glasses.
As they chatted, He Xin looked at Qiao Yuxian and said, "I heard you confronted An Zhiyi."
Qiao Yuxian sat across from her on the side, smiled at her, "He is quite gossipy."
"Well, otherwise I wouldn’t fit in at our department." He Xin said.
Qiao Yuxian smiled and asked, "Did he give you trouble when you assigned work to me?"
"No." He Xin replied, "One of the few merits of An Zhiyi is that he doesn’t target others by association when targeting a person."
Qiao Yuxian smiled a bit, "That’s not bad."
"Aren’t you worried your internship report won’t pass?" He Xin asked again.
"I am working hard now, if the internship report doesn’t pass, I need an explanation." Qiao Yuxian said.
He Xin looked at her without speaking.
Qiao Yuxian saw her expression and asked, "Think I’m too naive?"
Qiao Yuxian asked, "I heard An Zhiyi has relatives in the company leadership?"
He Xin only said one word.
But from this word, Qiao Yuxian and Zhao Meng sensed the meaning that An Zhiyi was arrogant and bullying.
"Not afraid?" He Xin asked.
"Not afraid." Qiao Yuxian said, "University students are fearless."
He Xin laughed. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱
Zhao Meng also laughed, casually asked, "What else did you gossip about?"
"Qiaoqiao got married." He Xin said, "I lost fifty bucks because of that."
"Hmm?" Qiao Yuxian looked at her curiously, "How did this happen? I got married and still need to pay?"
"Because when you and Zhao Meng came to our department, it stirred up the translation department. One was excessively handsome, the other astonishingly beautiful." He Xin said, "You reported in the morning, during lunch we made a bet."
Qiao Yuxian listened as she spoke, while wrapping grilled meat with lettuce, handed it to Zhao Meng’s mouth.
Zhao Meng received it with her left hand, eating as her right hand continued grilling.
"What did you bet on?" Zhao Meng asked.
He Xin said, "Bet if Qiaoqiao was wearing a ring, whether she was married or not."
"You bet not married." Qiao Yuxian and Zhao Meng said together.
He Xin sighed heavily, regrettably, "Yes."
Qiao Yuxian and Zhao Meng laughed.
He Xin also laughed, finally said helplessly, "From my school experience, beauties as stunning as Qiaoqiao generally have no one daring to pursue them. Unexpectedly..."
Qiao Yuxian smiled a bit.
She could completely guess another reason she bet on her not being married.
She thought the plain ring on her ring finger was too simple, not like a wedding ring, so she assumed it was just for fun.
