Chapter 46: Internship

The air in the garden district was always fresh, whether it was morning or night.

Lin Yingluo, dressed in yoga clothes, opened the window and called back to the girl.

“Nuo Nuo, time to get up. You told me to wake you up early last night.”

“Mm… okay.”

The big-chested girl rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked up at the ceiling, and there was a hint of low blood sugar confusion in her gaze.

She had to get up early today, go to the internship trial site, and meet up with the Teacher and other classmates.

Last night, the Class QQ Group was flooded with countless @’s, all reminding everyone not to be late.

If it were any other day, Su Nuo would have no problem getting up, but today was different.

Today…

The girl pressed on her slender waist—it felt a bit sore.

Right after the game, her hand was sore.

After a while, her legs were weak.

After a night’s sleep, her waist hurt.

But Xiao Nuo clearly said it wouldn’t hurt—that after sleeping, she’d feel refreshed.

Su Nuo tried to reach into her mind to ask the little moe girl, only to find she was still sound asleep.

Forget it, let her sleep.

Ask later when she wakes up.

Lin Yingluo had finished her morning exercise before coming over to call her.

Now, she had already changed into a women’s business suit for work.

Looking back, she saw her own madam still sitting in a daze.

“Remember to soak Goji Berries and drink.”

The big sister reminded.

“…Mm.”

Although her body was indeed a bit weak, it wasn’t that bad.

Mainly, she played a round at noon yesterday—no way she could say that out loud.

Half an hour later, Su Nuo was ready and headed out to the Assembly Place.

She wore the same J.K. Uniform as before, looking pretty and cute.

Her long sakura-white hair was tied into a single ponytail, giving her an elegant touch.

Her chest puffed up and stretched the bowtie high, possibly adding a bit of dignity.

Possibly—because Su Nuo only felt that way in the mirror, without asking anyone else.

Overall, nothing seemed out of place, except for the transparent thermal cup she carried, which felt a bit off.

Just after getting up, Su Xiao Nuo spotted it right away and asked curiously.

“You’re really drinking Goji Berries water? Getting ready for battle?”

“No, just felt like it was good for the body.”

In her last life, nearing thirty, Su Nuo always wanted to drink this stuff, but never had the time.

In this life, starting a few years early—why not?

No time to explain—the bus arrived.

The girl hurried off.

Only then did Su Xiao Nuo realize they’d left home and entered the city’s Business Street.

Tall buildings surrounded them, and everyone moved about in a hurry.

“Where did you bring me?”

“Assembly Place.”

At those four words, Su Xiao Nuo finally remembered.

“Oh right, the internship site. Let’s find the others first.”

Su Nuo pulled out her phone, checked yesterday’s messages in the class group, and confirmed the Assembly Place was “the outer Main Plaza, next to Chayan Yuese.”

“I know. It’s there.”

With Su Xiao Nuo’s guidance, Su Nuo quickly found the spot and saw seven or eight classmates standing there from afar.

She saw them, and they saw her too.

But sharp-eyed Su Xiao Nuo noticed that half of them were from Wen Yan’s little clique.

“Truly, enemies meet on narrow roads.”

A few classmates seemed about to greet her, but Wen Yan’s group pulled them aside, said something, and the raised hands went back down.

“What are you guys talking about?”

Su Nuo walked over casually.

“Gossiping some inside news?”

Her nonchalant attitude annoyed Wen Yan and the others.

“Su Nuo, you think you’ve got this, don’t you? I’m telling you, the internship assessment isn’t like a school club interview. You don’t pass just because your chest is big.”

A girl next to Wen Yan said.

Su Xiao Nuo didn’t even remember this one’s name.

“Exactly, this is a big company. They only care about ability, not shady tricks.”

“I heard the company president is a woman too—your tricks won’t work.”

Wen Yan’s clique grew louder.

The other classmates didn’t join in, just stood by and watched silently.

At first, they wanted to greet the famous big-chested beauty of the class, but Wen Yan had said that internship slots were limited, and bringing along a drag would get you assigned to summer temp work.

Everyone knew—even if a summer temp sounded like a job, interns had positions, while summer temps mostly did errands.

After they finished, Su Nuo yawned lazily.

“I didn’t want to be chosen anyway. I don’t want to work as a summer temp either. I’m just here to look.”

“Yeah, yeah,”

Su Xiao Nuo added.

“Why bother working? It’s better to play with figures.”

The clique fell silent—they clearly hadn’t expected this turn.

“You don’t want to be chosen? How can you not want to? You don’t want to work… Your campus volunteer activities weren’t even done, now you won’t do social practice either,”

Wen Yan was first to react, pointing at her.

“Next semester, you’ll be sorry!”

“And you? How much does the school pay you to recruit volunteers?”

Su Nuo suddenly asked.

Wen Yan didn’t understand.

“What do you mean?”

“Aren’t you recruiting volunteers for the school? How much do you get per head?”

Su Nuo blinked.

“You work so hard, the reward must be good.”

Now, the surrounding classmates all looked at Wen Yan strangely—even her own clique.

Wen Yan glared at the girl beside her.

“Why are you looking at me? Believe her nonsense? We went to the Teacher’s office together—don’t you know if there was money?”

After scolding her slow-witted companion, she turned to Su Nuo.

“I’m not like you, a gold-digger. I do it for the school’s honor…”

“Alright, alright, we get it, you work for free,”

Su Nuo waved her hand.

“No need to go on.”

Wen Yan was furious but didn’t know how to refute her.

Swearing would ruin her image, so her face just turned red.

“You’re amazing, Su Nuo!”

Su Xiao Nuo cheered, waving her little fists.

“That’s it! Finish her off!”

Before, whenever she faced this person, all she could do was act indifferent, which to others looked like she had nothing to say.

Now, Su Nuo settled things in a few sentences, venting her frustration for her.

Su Nuo had no interest in talking to people who hadn’t experienced society’s bitterness.

Besides, there was no time to continue—because the Teacher arrived.

“Is everyone here? Alright, follow me.”

The Teacher didn’t notice what happened—or even if she did, she didn’t care.

The students were about to enter their fourth year.

With one foot in society, campus cliques would soon become a thing of the past.

Under her lead, seven or eight classmates headed for the main entrance.

Su Nuo finally looked up and saw the large characters above the door—Sheng Qin Group.

“What a big company.”

Su Xiao Nuo exclaimed.

Su Nuo was curious.

“You know about this?”

“Of course. It’s a famous local enterprise with a wide range of businesses—real estate, amusement parks, all kinds of goods,”

Su Xiao Nuo spoke confidently.

“I once bought…”

“Bought a house?”

“Bought yogurt—fresh delivery. It tasted pretty good!”

“……”

No matter what, they definitely weren’t here to make yogurt today.

Su Nuo withdrew her gaze from the main entrance and followed the other classmates inside.
