Chapter 117: Just received the card, ushered in the dirty water
So thoughtful and appropriate.
This time, Xu Yueqing no longer refused. She stretched out her hand and took the card from his warm fingers.
The card was cold to the touch, yet it felt like it was scorching hot.
"Thanks."
She whispered.
Ji Bingqian withdrew his hand, said nothing more, and just nodded slightly.
The next second, Zhou Yuan closed the car door, and the heavy door separated the two worlds.
Xu Yueqing stood there, watching the black Bentley slide silently into the traffic, and soon turned into a small black dot, completely disappearing at the end of his sight.
She took a deep breath as if she had just come out of the water. The cool air filled her lungs, making her confused mind a little clearer.
She lowered her head, looked at the black and gold card lying quietly in her palm for two seconds, and then put it in her coat pocket.
Turning around, she looked up at the eye-catching sign in front of her - Jingzhou Artificial Intelligence Research Institute.
Although she had come to explore the route yesterday, today was the day she officially reported in, so her mood was still different.
She clutched the still warm black gold card in her coat pocket, as if she was clutching a heavy load of courage.
Xu Yueqing, this is your new beginning.
She lifted her foot and stepped onto the stairs.
As soon as he entered, Xu Yueqing felt it.
The eyes of the people coming and going were like iron filings attracted by a magnet, all shooting towards her.
There is curiosity, scrutiny, and a hint of inexplicable exploration.
She subconsciously straightened her back.
Probably because of what happened yesterday.
After all, it would be hard for a newcomer who can be personally greeted by the dean and several bigwigs not to attract attention.
Thinking this, she tried her best to keep her eyes straight, maintain her outward calm, and walked towards the elevator.
However, the further we went in, the stronger the strange feeling became.
The gazes that fell on her were no longer simply out of curiosity.
If at the beginning he was just observing, now there was a feeling of watching a show, and even a bit of contempt and amusement in his speculation.
Some people were whispering, but when she looked over, they immediately shut up and exchanged a knowing look.
Xu Yueqing was too familiar with that look.
Condescending, with pity, yet mixed with undisguised contempt.
Her heart sank little by little.
My steps also became inexplicably weak.
An ominous premonition, like a vine, coiled up from the soles of my feet.
Xu Yueqing happened to pass by a supermarket on the corner and walked in.
The cool air calmed her down a little.
She walked to the refrigerator, opened the door and took out a bottle of pure milk.
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, the discussion coming from the other side of the shelf was like an invisible needle that instantly pierced her tense nerves.
"Hey, have you read the latest gossip on the hospital forum? It's explosive!" A voice that was deliberately lowered but could not hide the excitement rang out.
"Of course!" someone nearby immediately chimed in, grinning obscenely, "Let me tell you, everyone in the entire research institute knows this!"
Another voice came over, with exaggerated contempt, "That's right! When I saw Xu Yueqing yesterday, I thought she was a high-class beauty. But what happened? Tsk tsk, she's a slut who's been played with by countless men in private!"
Rubbish...
Xu Yueqing's steps to leave seemed to be nailed to the spot.
She listened to her own name, coming out of those unfamiliar mouths, mixed with a bunch of dirty things she had never heard of.
