Chapter 242: Chapter 218 Internship
Thursday, Fenglin Villa
Qiao Yuxian woke up half an hour earlier than when she had eight o’clock classes in school.
Plus, she hadn’t had breakfast, so Aunt Mei packed it in a lunchbox for her.
Gu Yanjing watched her rush around early in the morning, bustling back and forth, running here and there. One moment she was packing things into one bag, the next moment into another bag.
She was unusually excited.
Since he knew her, he had never seen her this excited about waking up early.
Seeing that she finally tidied up, Gu Yanjing said, "I’ll take you."
"No need." Qiao Yuxian checked her hair in the mirror again and said, "Zhao Meng is coming to pick me up."
As soon as she said that, two honking sounds came from outside the villa.
Qiao Yuxian looked outside and said, "Zhao Meng is here. I’m off. You have breakfast."
After saying that, she ran a few steps out, then hurried back, tiptoeing to give Gu Yanjing a kiss on the cheek: "Don’t miss me too much even if we don’t see each other for a day."
She said this and tried to run off again, only to be held back by Gu Yanjing.
He pinched her cheek and gave her a kiss on the lips: "Drive safely, take care."
"Got it." Qiao Yuxian hugged him again.
She turned and jogged out, shouting as she ran, "Going to work, going to work, going to work..."
Gu Yanjing looked at her small figure disappearing in the distance, listening to her happy voice, and smiled.
In his heart, he wished that she would remain this excited and happy a few days later.
...
Across from the Gu Group building.
Zhao Meng parked the car, and Qiao Yuxian finished eating and freshened up her makeup.
She looked at the Gu Group building, then checked her makeup.
Today, she deliberately got up early to do a professional makeup look. Something subtle, yet with a vibe of a career woman.
Zhao Meng also looked outside and said, "Are you sure you don’t want to tell your Mr. Gu?"
"No need," said Qiao Yuxian.
Zhao Meng: "......"
"If he finds out, I guess I can only sit next to him at work," Qiao Yuxian said, "Not much of an experience at all."
Zhao Meng frowned: "Why do I feel like you’re showing off your love to me?"
Qiao Yuxian glanced at her without saying a word, took off the ring on her ring finger, put it in a box, and tucked it in her bag.
Then she took a plain band ring from her bag and put it on her ring finger.
Zhao Meng watched her change rings and said, "Are you sure your Mr. Gu won’t notice for these three months?"
"Not sure," said Qiao Yuxian.
Zhao Meng was speechless.
Qiao Yuxian looked at her and said, "For now, don’t tell him, let me enjoy the intern life properly. I’ll tell him when I’m tired and use the back door."
"You’ve got it all figured out," Zhao Meng said.
"Pretty good plan, right?" Qiao Yuxian finished speaking and checked the time. "Let’s go. Hurry in while Gu Yanjing hasn’t started work yet."
Qiao Yuxian’s internship at Gu Group was completely accidental.
During the first semester of her senior year, as internships approached, many companies came to the school to recruit interns.
Jing University, being the best university in the country.
Naturally, it had many outstanding talents, even some rare geniuses.
Several big companies were willing to offer internship opportunities to students from Jing University.
Cultivate talents, seize talents.
Among them was the Gu Group.
Gu Group provided as many internship positions as possible to Jing University every year.
They looked at students’ academic performance, school experiences, and interview performance.
On the day Gu Group’s HR went to Jing University, there were six other companies visiting as well.
Zhao Meng indeed aimed for Gu Group.
But Qiao Yuxian was aiming for another company.
That day, each company was arranged in various offices on the first floor of the administration building.
Students queued up in the lobby.
Every company had a queue; to interview with a company, you joined the respective queue.
Student council was maintaining order in the lobby.
But due to the oversight of the student maintaining order, Qiao Yuxian was told the wrong queue.
Which led to Qiao Yuxian standing in the wrong line.
That day she was wearing headphones, chatting continuously with Liu Zhou.
She typed while Liu Zhou sent voice messages, not paying much attention.
Until she entered the office of Gu Group, sat down and finished the self-introduction.
Someone asked, "Why do you want to join Gu Group?"
Unperturbed, unusually calm and even with a faint, effortless aura that overshadowed the interviewer’s calm demeanor, Qiao Yuxian finally realized she had entered the wrong room.
But since she was already inside.
She was curious about Gu Group’s interview, so she casually went through it.
Passed the first interview, then the second one. After the second interview, the internship time was agreed upon.
And because Zhao Meng also passed the interview, the two of them had company.
