Having been at Baitian for almost half a year, she hadn’t attended a single one of the gatherings organized by the intern group. Firstly, because she didn’t plan to stay in Baitian long-term, she didn’t want to waste time on ineffective socializing; secondly, because of the various rumors surrounding her and Su Zhengxing, after all, no one likes to be the subject of conversation at the dinner table.
Perhaps because it was the last gathering before their departure, there were a lot of people. When Lin Qiao arrived at the private room using the location from the group chat, there were at least twenty people sitting at the large round table. Not only that, she heard there was another table next door.
Yu Xiaoxiao had arrived before her. Seeing Lin Qiao push open the door, she immediately stood up and waved for her to sit next to her.
“Lin Qiao, over here!”
When the people at the table heard Yu Xiaoxiao call Lin Qiao’s name, they all turned to look at her.
Although some of the people present did not know Lin Qiao, they had all heard gossip about her, such as how she was a ‘person with connections’, how she got in through back channels, how she was the CEO’s personal mistress, and even more unpleasant rumors.
Lin Qiao never attended gatherings before, so they hadn’t had a chance to see her in person. Now that they did, they all scrutinized her with varying expressions.
Lin Qiao deliberately ignored these stares, pretending not to notice, and calmly sat down next to Yu Xiaoxiao.
She had just sat down when she unexpectedly found Cheng Ling there as well.
What’s going on?
Wasn’t today their group of interns’ gathering?
Why was she here?
Cheng Ling was sitting a little distance away, talking to a tall, thin boy with a small nose and eyes.
Lin Qiao thought about it again and realized that it made sense. Most of the interns who could get into Baitian were students from top universities nearby. It was not surprising that they would get to know each other and attend a party since they were interning at Baitian together.
After speaking with Cheng Ling, the man with the small nose and eyes turned his gaze to Lin Qiao. He curled his lip slightly in disdain, got up, and poured himself a glass of red wine.
“Lin Qiao? Right?”
A man with a small nose and small eyes walked around the table with a glass of red wine. Although he was only in his early twenties, his behavior, tone, and demeanor were as greasy as a forty or fifty-year-old middle-aged man.
“Let’s get acquainted. My name is Zhou Yuan.”
The man with the small nose and eyes raised his wine glass to her.
Although Lin Qiao lacked social experience, she had attended dinners with Su Zhengxing before. She knew that according to the etiquette of the table, she should raise her glass in response. However, the sight of the small-nosed and plain-looking man made her want to roll her eyes.
Forcing a smile, she said, “Sorry, I took cephalosporin and can’t drink alcohol.”
Zhou Yuan was a notorious playboy in Baitian’s intern circle. Despite his unremarkable appearance, his family connections allowed him to seduce any girl he wanted, and many girls even fought over him.
Perhaps the sheer number of blind people led him to mistakenly believe that he was truly charming, to the point that he considered Baitian’s intern circle to be his harem, with every girl in it his possession, and that they should be at his disposal unless he himself didn’t fancy them.
Zhou Yuan had heard of Lin Qiao long ago, knowing she was another person connected to Baitian through connections.
Initially, he didn’t have any particular thoughts about her until rumors started circulating within the company about an ambiguous relationship between Lin Qiao and Su Zhengxing, at which point he began to pay attention.
