Chapter 244: Chapter 218 Internship_3
"An." Qiao Yuxian and Zhao Meng called out.
An Zhiyi was a male supervisor, around the same age as He Xin, very aloof. He glanced at them, nodded slightly, and then returned to his tasks.
But as he withdrew his gaze, he took another look at Qiao Yuxian.
Qiao Yuxian pretended not to notice his lingering gaze and followed He Xin.
He Xin led them to their workstations and said, "These are your stations. Knowing you two are classmates, we’ve put you together. Having a companion helps you adapt faster."
"Thank you, He." The two replied.
"Our department is laid out like this. There’s a door over there to go straight out without passing through their office," He Xin said.
Zhao Meng said, "This design is very thoughtful."
He Xin glanced at her short hair and smiled, "I think so too."
Zhao Meng smiled.
He Xin continued, "Beyond that door is the pantry. To the left is a lounge. Folks like to have afternoon tea there when they’re free. To the right is a small gym, handy for some activity after sitting too long. Next door to the gym is the snack room. Feel free to take what you like home."
"Such great perks," Zhao Meng said.
"Not just that," He Xin said, "You’ll understand more as time goes on. But while enjoying these, you need to handle the work pressure. This is Gu Group, with top-notch perks, but also top-notch pressure. Interns are no exception."
Qiao Yuxian nodded.
"Alright. You can tidy up now." He Xin said, "You’ll probably have tasks assigned soon."
"Okay. Thank you, He." Zhao Meng said.
He Xin gave them a smile and left.
Qiao Yuxian and Zhao Meng sat at their workstations, exchanging a silent glance for a while before starting to organize their desks.
Computers were provided by the company.
Qiao Yuxian booted up her computer, and while it started, she began taking items from her bag.
Two notebooks, sticky notes, a calendar, a mug, three pens. A pen holder, organizer box, cushion, tissue box, hand cream, and three panda figurines.
She took three from the row on Gu Yanjing’s bedside.
With only a mug and a single pen, Zhao Meng watched her unload all these items.
Qiao Yuxian sensed Zhao Meng’s gaze and turned to look at her.
Zhao Meng glanced at the desk items and signaled to her: Did you move your home here?
Qiao Yuxian opened a notebook and wrote: The company is my home, I love my home, I love the company.
Then she showed it to Zhao Meng.
Zhao Meng: "......"
She looked speechless, took a photo of Qiao Yuxian’s desk, and shared it in the dorm group to mock.
The others interning elsewhere responded quickly.
They also shared photos of their desks.
After seeing them, Zhao Meng instantly felt Qiao Yuxian’s desk seemed much better. She even started feeling like the odd one out.
The items on those two’s desks far exceeded Qiao Yuxian’s.
Han Yangliu was even more extreme, decorating her station with hanging tags, a feng shui compass, copper coins, and a small peach wood sword. She even brought her cat, with a bowl of cat food beside her computer.
Qiao Yuxian looked at Zhao Meng.
Zhao Meng gave her a "you’re still the best" look.

Top floor of Gu Group
Gu Yanjing had just reached the office when Su Qi came in with some documents, simultaneously reporting on some work.
Gu Yanjing was flipping through documents while listening to his report.
The work report lasted over ten minutes, after which Su Qi said, "Mr. Gu, Sheng Chendong and Zhao Shimeng are in Capital City again."
Gu Yanjing looked up at him and said, "Have someone keep a close eye on them."
"Yes," Su Qi said, "They’ve set their sights on the office building in the south of the city, and it seems they’re serious about relocating their A Continent assets."
Gu Yanjing tapped his finger on the desk without speaking.
He was somewhat concerned about Sheng Chendong’s presence in the city.
Su Qi glanced at Gu Yanjing, thought for a moment, and added, "Mr. Gu. Apart from the Sheng Chendong couple, their daughter... has come too."
Gu Yanjing frowned slightly.
When investigating Sheng Chendong, Gu Yanjing saw information about their daughter too.
Her name is Sheng Anhe. She’s slightly younger than Qiao Yuxian.
The investigation data shows they’re quite indulgent towards this daughter.
Sheng Anhe is spoiled beyond measure.
Su Qi was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Their daughter seems to have some connection with Miss Lu. They arrived in Capital City yesterday afternoon, and this morning they went out together."
Gu Yanjing paused and said, "Understood."
Su Qi said nothing more.
Going over it in his mind, finding no other matters, he prepared to leave.
Just as he took two steps back, the office door was knocked on. After a moment, Meng Yan entered.
He looked at Meng Yan.
Meng Yan glanced at him too, then walked straight to Gu Yanjing with a laptop.
He laid the laptop in front of Gu Yanjing and said, "Mr. Gu. Dong Qian’s assistant has lately been frequently interacting with a truck driver, targeting Madam."
