Chapter 1407 - 914: No Scheming Against My Sister
"Me?"
"Go back to school, it’s not that far." Cai Xiaoqing laughed in frustration, afraid she’d become a third wheel.
Though she didn’t want to interfere in Jiang Nian’s personal life, as a secretary-in-training, it seemed unavoidable.
More or less, she’d come into contact with certain things.
She wasn’t particularly resistant to this. For one, she’d get to know the other party, and for another, this path indeed held endless potential.
Most importantly, the freedom was great.
Who needs a bicycle?
"Oh, really?" Jiang Nian feigned interest, "Weiwei, be careful and don’t worry your roommate."
Cai Xiaoqing: "...."
Is my roommate my mom?
Worried indeed.
It’s already sophomore year, soon junior year. As a college student, I’m already a seasoned pro.
After hanging up the phone, Cai Xiaoqing sighed.
Can I really do this?
Li Qingrong came out of the kitchen, bringing some snacks. Frozen and reheated treats, along with iced coffee.
Her culinary expertise was apparent, but she was just too lazy to cook.
The two sisters were alike.
Li Lanying was also quite versatile, physically and intellectually capable. But because things were too easy for her, she seemed lazy.
If she saw the result, she didn’t want to take detours.
So, in Jiang Nian’s eyes, Sister Bai You’s behavior was quite inexplicable, always seeming like she hadn’t sobered up.
Put simply, it was like a mental tug-of-war.
Fortunately, Li Qingrong wasn’t that lazy. At least she was willing to invest more in friendships and social interactions.
"Have some food."
"Thanks, class leader." Cai Xiaoqing picked up the iced coffee and casually mentioned, "Jiang Nian just called."
"What did he say?"
"Chased me away."
"Oh."
Concise words, yet overly brief.
"Oh right, class leader, is it true for your major..." Cai Xiaoqing suddenly asked, "that most would go abroad?"
Li Qingrong thought for a moment and shook her head.
"Yes and no."
"Those who do cutting-edge theoretical research will choose to go abroad. Or maybe without a supervisor, among other reasons."
"What about you, class leader?" Cai Xiaoqing was curious and hoped Li Qingrong would stay in the country.
After all, having a strong ally is always beneficial, right?
"I’m not going." Li Qingrong replied.
"Won’t it have any impact?" Cai Xiaoqing expressed slight concern, even forgetting to drink her coffee.
The class leader’s personal development shone brighter than her own prospects.
"No impact really, fewer people go abroad now." Li Qingrong spoke calmly, taking a sip of iced coffee.
"Things are going smoothly here, so there’s no point in going abroad."
"Oh, okay." Cai Xiaoqing nodded, also relieved, "That’s good, not too far away."
"Mm."
A while later, Jiang Nian arrived.
As he entered, he was carrying luggage, clearly having just arrived. Right from the airport, he came straight here.
"Come on, lend a hand."
With his other hand, he held a large bag of fruits, handing it over to Li Qingrong without much thought.
"I’m exhausted, so thirsty."
"There’s iced coffee." Li Qingrong pointed to the cup on the table, "There’s water in the living room."
"Oh, okay." Jiang Nian didn’t overthink it, gulped down the iced coffee, and went on to pour water.
Cai Xiaoqing glanced at the two of them, feeling like she could leave now; the discomfort was starting.
Yeah, shouldn’t have come.
"Weiwei, you’re here too." Jiang Nian looked at her and continued, "By the way, wanted to tell you something."
"What?"
"Would you be interested in an internship if you’re free during summer break?"
"Huh?"
.....
As night set in.
After dinner, Cai Xiaoqing estimated the time and headed out. As she closed the door, she couldn’t help but secretly sigh.
At the same time, she pursed her lips.
"Well, good to try it out this summer. But it may count for credits, need to ask the advisor."
Back at the dormitory.
As soon as Cai Xiaoqing entered, she heard her roommates shouting. She intended to keep a low profile but was immediately hugged.
"Xiaocai! Went on a date, huh?"
"No."
Xiaocai?
She wasn’t fond of the nickname, but everyone in the dorm called her that, along with Old Zhang.
And, a Xiaowang.
The other’s name had the same pronunciation, Lin Ling. Read as Linlin, so they called her Dandan in the dorm.
Cai Xiaoqing didn’t argue against her own nickname.
Well, at least it’s tolerable.
Dandan curiously asked, "Why are you back so late, you went out early in the morning, was it a whole day of fun?"
"Went to see a friend, our class leader," Cai Xiaoqing added, "She’s a girl, very pretty."
"Turns out you are quite..." Xiaowang chuckled.
Cai Xiaoqing: "..."
She was too tired to argue with the crazy bunch in her dorm, directly headed to her desk and turned on her computer.
Estimating that the advisor wasn’t asleep, she sent a message asking directly.
Suddenly, her roommate approached from behind.
"Huh?"
"Xiaocai, you’re going for an internship?"
"Yes." Cai Xiaoqing didn’t plan to hide, after all, it’s a sure thing, "I’m considering it."
Upon hearing this, the dorm instantly erupted.
"Seriously?"
"Whoa?"
"Xiaocai is going for an internship?"
"Where where?"
"Couldn’t be a big company, take me along. Xiaocai’s so low-key, not like that idiot in class bragging every day."
"Playing dumb to win smart."
It’s no surprise they reacted strongly, after all, it’s an internship opportunity.
Someone in the class was already preparing to seek internships during the sophomore summer break. Either through connections or applying directly.
Some even secured internships at major companies.
That’s incomparable; these opportunities aren’t just acquired, they’re inherent, even big-time companies wouldn’t be unexpected.
In comparison, having an internship opportunity is great.
Sophomore internships are called proactive internships, fulfilling the requirement for graduating seniors needing two years of work experience.
