Fudan University started its vacation in early August. As soon as the counselor said the word 'vacation,' a look of joy appeared in the eyes of all the students in the class.
"Woo-hoo, freshman year is finally over!"
"Our vacation starts later than many high school students."
"No way, our program is just too difficult."
"After getting home, I need to sleep for two days and two nights. No one is allowed to wake me up."
"... ..."
Fudan University is, after all, one of the top five universities in the country, gathering many outstanding talents from all over the country, and the intensity of study is extremely high, so the vacation starts a little later.
Zhou Qiong left the classroom with a group of classmates. Lu Linhong took a deep breath: "This is the breath of freedom!"
She asked, "By the way, Qiongqiong, what are you planning to do during the vacation? Travel? Rest?"
Zhou Qiong shook her head: "I found a part-time job. I'm going for an interview later."
"Aren't you tired at all?" Lu Linhong blinked her eyes.
"I'm okay." Zhou Qiong smiled. "What are you planning to do during the summer vacation?"
Lu Linhong stretched her waist: "I'll rest for a few days first, then go home to see my parents. Then, I'll also look for a part-time job. Next semester is sophomore year, and I have to pay tuition, so I have to earn money."
Lu Linhong's parents favored sons over daughters and agreed with her that Lu Linhong had to earn half of her tuition and living expenses herself, and save money to buy a house for her brother who dropped out of school.
Zhou Qiong nodded, hesitated, and said: "You can come to me if you don't have money."
"I know that without you saying it." Lu Linhong hugged Zhou Qiong's shoulders. "After all, you are a rich woman. How could I forget you? But you have to believe me, believe in the value of a Fudan degree. I can earn money."
Lu Linhong didn't want to ask Zhou Qiong for help. She knew how rich Zhou Qiong's brother was, but she also knew that Zhou Qiong rarely spent Chu Fang's money. Her usual daily expenses were earned from her own part-time jobs, so she wasn't as rich as imagined.
The two chatted for a while, then separated.
Zhou Qiong tugged at her schoolbag strap and then went to the interview company.
Arriving at the interview company, Zhou Qiong asked the receptionist, "Hello."
Seeing that the receptionist was typing frantically, she didn't disturb her and stood aside waiting for the receptionist to finish her work.
"Xiao Li, someone's here, you entertain... ..." Three minutes later, a young man in casual clothes walked in, chewing gum, looking flamboyant.
When the flamboyant young man saw Zhou Qiong, he changed his words: "No need for you to entertain, I'll do it."
Then he greeted Zhou Qiong with a smile: "Hello."
Zhou Qiong nodded: "Hello, I'm here to apply for an internship."
"Intern? I know where the interview is. Follow me."
"Thank you."
Zhou Qiong then followed the flamboyant man into the company. The latter walked and asked, "My name is Hong Yu, what's yours?"
"Zhou Qiong."
"'I wander in this spring palace, breaking off jade branches to continue my belt.' Symbolizing the yearning for beauty, a good name."
Zhou Qiong remained silent.
In fact, the 'Qiong' in her name is a homophone for 'poor'.
When her parents gave birth to her, the family was poor, and her parents quarreled endlessly, blaming each other. Finally, they named her 'Qiong'.
Arriving at the conference room, Hong Yu pointed inside. Zhou Qiong thanked him and then went in.
At this moment, there were already many interviewees inside, and the conference room was particularly quiet.
Hong Yu stood outside, looked at Zhou Qiong in the conference room, looked outside, and saw three people walking side by side. He immediately stepped forward: "Three uncles, wait a moment."
"What can we do for Young Master Hong?" the three asked.
"There's a friend of mine who's here for an internship interview today. Please help me get her accepted."
Hearing this, the three nodded: "No problem."
Hong Yu is the future successor of this company, so the three naturally agreed to this small matter.
"My friend's name is Zhou Qiong."
The three nodded and then entered the conference room.
Seeing the interviewers coming in, the faces of everyone in the conference room became serious, and so did Zhou Qiong's.
Then the interview began. After a round of questions and answers, Zhou Qiong was not satisfied with her interview. She could answer the professional questions, but in terms of dealing with people, she seemed much clumsier compared to the other interviewees.
But fortunately, when she heard the interviewers announce the list of accepted candidates, her name was on it, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"You will be on time for work tomorrow."
"Okay."
After the interview, the applicants left.
"How was it, how was it?" Hong Yu entered the conference room and asked.
"She's in."
"Oh yeah." Hong Yu jumped up. "Three uncles, I'll treat you to dinner another day."
Seeing Hong Yu leave happily, the three interviewers said:
"I bet a hundred that girl isn't Young Master Hong's friend."
"I bet two hundred that Young Master Hong is interested in that girl."
"I bet three hundred that our Young Master Hong won't be able to pursue that girl."
The first two looked at each other, their pupils revealing disbelief. The third person said: "Don't disbelieve me, that girl has an extraordinary temperament, unlike ordinary people. Her expression was calm in every answer. Even without Young Master Hong's help today, I would have had to accept her."
After speaking, he asked: "Are you two betting or not?"
"No bet!" The two shook their heads.
... ...
Successful interview, Zhou Qiong was in a good mood, and slowly went home.
Returning to Zhonghai Mingyuan, the security guard Brother Liu said with a smile: "Miss Zhou seems very happy today?"
"I found a job." Zhou Qiong replied, pursing her lips.
Zhou Qiong had done many jobs, waitress, worker, milk tea maker, these can be hired without spending too much thought.
And the job she applied for today is closely related to her major, which is a very challenging job, and she is excited about it.
"That's worth celebrating," said the security guard Brother Liu.
Saying goodbye to Brother Liu, Zhou Qiong entered the community and returned home.
The house was empty, with only traces of various snacks and clothes scattered everywhere.
Zhou Qiong cleaned the house, and it was already sunset. Then she entered the kitchen and simply made a bowl of noodles.
She ate noodles while browsing her WeChat Moments. After eating, she washed the dishes and then went to bed after reading a book for a while.
She was the only one in the huge house.
Since Chu Yi was determined to get involved in music, she has been very busy, learning various music knowledge, and there are not many days to go home.
... ...
The next day, Zhou Qiong got up, simply washed up, and then went to the company.
"Huff... ..." Walking out of the subway, she took a deep breath, "The magic city is really competitive."
The subway was full of people, squeezing her so she could hardly breathe.
She bought breakfast downstairs and then entered the company. Next was a very simple company training.
Several interns finished training, and then were assigned to various internship positions.
"Hey, do you still remember me?" Hong Yu sat next to her, stretching his neck.
"I remember."
Hong Yu said with a smile: "Yesterday I brought you into the company, and today I became a 'neighbor' again. Do you think we are very destined?"
Zhou Qiong didn't know how to answer, and smiled politely.
Then Hong Yu found various opportunities to talk to Zhou Qiong, telling various jokes, but he didn't make Zhou Qiong laugh, but he made the interns next to him laugh.
Hong Yu was speechless: "Those who should laugh didn't laugh, but those who shouldn't laugh laughed."
"Should I directly expose my identity and say that my dad is the boss of this company, showing the aura of a king?" Hong Yu thought, but quickly shook his head, "No, no, that would seem very stupid."
"And I don't lack women, what I lack is the kind of woman who doesn't want my money."
"Alas, the world is too difficult now, why are women so scheming, why is it so difficult for me to find a simple woman?"
The sunset appeared, the company got off work, Zhou Qiong packed her personal belongings and then left the company.
Hong Yu walked side by side with her: "Zhou Qiong, where is your home? I'll give you a ride."
"Thank you, no need, I'll just take the subway." Zhou Qiong replied.
She has the car that Chu Fang bought, but she rarely drives it. In Modu, transportation is convenient, and the subway is faster and more comfortable than driving.
Suddenly, she received a message from Chu Yi, asking her to have dinner together tonight, and then a flower-like smile bloomed on her pretty face.
"Damn, damn, so pure... ..." Hong Yu next to him was moved, "Mom, I'm in love, goodbye mom, I'm going to sail away tonight... ..."
Walking out of the building, Zhou Qiong turned her head and said, "I'm waiting for someone, you go first."
"It's okay, I'll accompany you." Hong Yu waved his hand.
Zhou Qiong: "... ..."
