“I don’t mean to blame you. I know you meant well and wanted to help your friend, but the problem is that the other person doesn’t appreciate it.”

Qiu Zhipeng paused as he spoke, indicating that he had a very good impression of Chu Yuqi.

She came with a letter of recommendation from Master Qinglian and was considered a highly regarded disciple of him, so she already had a high status.

In addition, she herself is very popular for her fortune-telling live streams and is a top streamer, which is also of great benefit to the revitalization of Taoism.

Not to mention that many fellow disciples have found new employment opportunities through online live streaming, even investors are paying more attention to the Xuanmen sect.

This academic exchange conference on metaphysics received funding from many people.

Not only was the bonus doubled, but they were also arranged to stay in the most luxurious hotel in Lei City, where even the most ordinary room cost two thousand a night!

Qiu Zhipeng has attended many sessions of the Xuanmen Academic Exchange Conference, and it is no exaggeration to say that this is the most extravagant one yet.

Because the client was very generous, even their support staff received a raise, from 100 yuan a day to 300 yuan a day.

All of this was thanks to Chu Yuqi, but she never took credit and was always polite to everyone, which made Qiu Zhipeng feel indignant on her behalf.

“You are the most outstanding female disciple and will definitely become this year’s star student. There is no need for you to associate with that kind of person,” Qiu Zhipeng said. “She has heavy karma, which is obviously not without reason. Even if she comes to cultivate Taoism in a fake way, she will not achieve anything.”

Chu Yuqi had already taken out her phone. "Thank you, senior brother, but I still don't want to give up. Can you give her another chance?"

Qiu Zhipeng: "Since you've put it that way, how can I refuse? Here's what we'll do: if she doesn't report for duty by 3 p.m. today, she doesn't need to come anymore."

The most valuable quality in a person is self-reliance; only those who help themselves will receive divine assistance. He never gives a kind look to those who are too lazy to climb even when given a ladder.

Even if she comes, I need to thoroughly temper her temper. Does she really think this is a charity where she can come and go as she pleases?

Chu Yuqi dialed Ming Zhuo's number, then walked to the side and asked in a low voice, "Where are you now?"

Mingzhuo was completely baffled when he received the call: "Our relationship isn't close enough for us to ask about each other's whereabouts, is it?"

She didn't want to answer, but since she had nothing better to do, she decided to listen to what the other party wanted to do.

Chu Yuqi didn't have much patience to begin with, so she simply stopped beating around the bush.

"I'll ask you one last time, do you still want to come to the Xuanmen Academic Exchange Conference?"

She had some concerns, worried that Mingzhuo might have other ways to get a spot at the conference, which is why she ignored the logistics department's notification.

But it's been almost two days, and she hasn't seen Mingzhuo's figure, nor has she seen Mingzhuo's name on the student list.

In that case, your recommendation is the only opportunity the other party can seize.

Of course she has to be assertive; does she have to be subservient?

Mingzhuo subconsciously retorted, "Can I not go?"

She thought to herself, "Is it really possible to get a stipend without teaching any classes?"

"Since you want to come, report to Supervisor Qiu before 3 PM. Latecomers will not be waited for." Chu Yuqi's lips curled up, thinking to herself, "Finally, Ruan Mingzhuo, you've got a day when you need my help."

Mingzhuo checked his phone's text message notifications. Recently, in Hong Kong, the signal was delayed, and his phone had inexplicably received a lot of text messages.

"Wait a minute." She found a strange text message.

Chu Yuqi: "Do you have any other questions? You haven't answered the phone or replied to text messages these past two days, which has already delayed a lot of work. Remember to apologize to Supervisor Qiu properly."

After reading the text message, Mingzhuo finally understood the whole story.

"Are you a student in this cohort?" she asked.

Chu Yuqi thought she was unwilling to accept defeat. "Yes, I'm a student, and I have more connections and strength than you. Don't compare yourself to me. Cherish this hard-won opportunity."

After all, what right does a two-dimensional female supporting character, who should have died long ago, have to compare herself to me?

Mingzhuo was speechless. Although she didn't have a phobia of stupidity, she was still shocked by this person's self-righteous cleverness.

"Okay, you wait, you'll see me this afternoon."

However, I am a teacher specially invited by the organizer, while you are just a student.

There's no point in exposing it now; given the capacity of the other party's cerebellum, they probably can't process such a bombshell.

She thought about it again and realized that this could be a kind of fun, so she happily hung up the phone.

Chu Yuqi frowned, somewhat displeased that Ming Zhuo had hung up the phone first. It was so rude. Who was the one who needed something from him?

"...Will she come?" Cheng Jingru asked softly.

For the past two days, she has been quietly following behind Chu Yuqi, keeping her head down and appearing very introverted. She doesn't take the initiative to socialize or steal the spotlight, which makes Chu Yuqi very satisfied.

"Of course she'll come. This is an opportunity that so many people would fight over, how could she bear to give it up?" Chu Yuqi replied in a good mood.

Cheng Jingru pursed her lips, thinking that it might not be so.

Li Wenhe once revealed that Mingzhuo was very capable, and she would never forget the confident look on his face when he spoke.

She didn't believe Mingzhuo couldn't get a spot if Chu Yuqi could.

But Ruan Mingzhuo's name is indeed not on the list of trainees... Could it be that I guessed wrong?

Seeing Chu Yuqi's smug expression, she ultimately said nothing, as there was no need to spoil Chu Yuqi's mood at this moment.

Chu Yuqi said many kind words to Qiu Zhipeng before leaving with Cheng Jingru.

Some students who were passing by had already stopped and were waiting for her. When they saw her coming, they immediately felt indignant on her behalf.

"Are you pleading for your friend again?"

"This is really too much! What kind of person is she? Does she really think she's a princess?"

"Chu Chu, you're too kind. This kind of person will never amount to anything, and she won't even be grateful. Helping her will only bring you trouble."

“I’m worried that if she comes, she’ll just slack off and ruin your reputation.”

Chu Yuqi smiled and said, "I believe she won't."

But in his heart he was thinking, "That's perfect. The more ugly Ruan Mingzhuo makes, the happier I am. It's just the show."

You also need to let the other person know that good grades are nothing special, and that in the Xuanmen, you are the one they look up to for life.

A figure passed by, and Chu Yuqi quickly greeted him, "Senior Brother Chen."

The group of people greeted each other, their expressions becoming much more subdued.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Shen."

"Senior Brother Shen."

Shen Boyuan was just passing by when he saw this, so he stopped and nodded slightly to the crowd.

His gaze fell on Chu Yuqi. "I think I heard you introduce a friend to do odd jobs in the logistics department?"

Chu Yuqi: "Yes, my friend is burdened with karmic obstacles and also knows some magic. I want her to come and listen in, so that she might have the opportunity to gain enlightenment."

Shen Boyuan's expression softened slightly. "Your intentions are good, but don't let others distract you too much. Here's what I'll do: I'll have Supervisor Qiu assign some tasks to your friend. If they can't stick with it, it means they're not meant to be with the Daoist sect, so there's no need to force it."

He paused, then said gently, "I misunderstood you before. I look forward to meeting you at the top."

He left as soon as he finished speaking, unaware that the crowd behind him was about to explode.
