Chapter 276 Rejection
But it was just too beautiful, which made Li Sheng'er squint her eyes.
"Sheng'er, are you alright?"
"Manli, do you think I'm not as pretty as Lin Xiaotao?"
"No, you're the prettiest. You've been pretty since you were little. And your name is nice too. Lin Xiaotao sounds like someone from the countryside with no education at all. She can't compare to you."
"real?"
"Yes, Sheng'er, you are the best!"
"Why didn't Xiao Peichuan give me a friendly look just now?" Li Sheng'er's eyes darkened.
"Xiao Peichuan is definitely responsible, after all, he has a girlfriend," Qin Manli said, trying to justify her actions.
"Alright, I'll assume he's responsible. But did you find out that Lin Xiaotao's professor is going to send her to the research institute?"
"Yes, that's what I heard, but I don't know if it's true. Maybe it's because summer vacation is coming soon, and Professor Song wants Lin Xiaotao to do an internship so that she'll have a place to go after graduation."
"Ha, what makes Lin Xiaotao so special that she gets to intern at the research institute? She's so proud of herself!"
“It’s Sheng’er. You’re the one who’s qualified to go for the internship. If it weren’t for you, you would be a student at Peking University now.”
“Of course I know my own abilities.” Li Sheng’er raised her chin.
"What about us?"
"Let's go and see for ourselves."
“Sound. Sound…”
Qin Manli was surprised that Li Sheng'er went out so soon, even though they hadn't planned to go at this time.
However, since Li Sheng'er had already gone over, Qin Manli couldn't hide from her and could only reluctantly follow.
Little Peach Blossom was listening attentively to Xiao Peichuan talk about his hometown. Xiao Peichuan's voice was gentle and soothing, a pleasure to hear. Unexpectedly, a displeased female voice chimed in: "Xiao Peichuan, is this why you rejected me? Does a country girl compare to me?"
"Who is this?" Little Peach Blossom looked at Xiao Peichuan with a puzzled expression.
Xiao Pei-chuan's expression darkened as he said, "I don't know them."
"Oh." Little Peach Blossom didn't care anymore.
"Don't recognize him? Ha! Lin Xiaotao, do you know that the person in front of you is the one I've set my sights on!"
Little Peach Blossom turned her head: "And then?" Her eyes were innocent and clear, which made Li Sheng'er look somewhat ferocious.
Seeing her own hideous reflection in Xiao Taohua's eyes, Li Sheng'er narrowed her eyes: "If you know what's good for you, give me the person instead of sitting here asking me why."
“Pei-chuan is my boyfriend, not an object.” As she spoke, Xiao Tao-hua grabbed Xiao Pei-chuan’s arm.
"Let go!" Li Sheng'er, who already regarded Xiao Peichuan as her own possession, was furious when she saw Xiao Taohua's actions.
"What's wrong with me holding my partner's hand? You're being so strange."
"Lin Xiaotao, do you even know who I am!"
"Then who are you?"
"I'm Li Sheng'er. My dad is XX, and my mom is XX. I heard you want to intern at the research institute? Let me tell you, if you offend me, you won't have even the slightest hope!"
"Oh, then I won't go."
Li Sheng'er stared wide-eyed.
Little Peach Blossom was reluctant to go to the research institute in the first place, so of course she was happy when someone told her that she couldn't go.
If she doesn't go to research institute and graduates early, she can go back to her hometown.
Perfect!
Li Sheng'er was furious at the sight of Xiao Taohua's happy expression.
"Keep pretending. I know you're bleeding inside. How about this: as long as you give up on Xiao Peichuan, I guarantee you'll get into the research institute."
"Ugh, you're so annoying! Get out of here and stop bothering us."
Being kicked out for the first time, Li Sheng'er was furious. She looked at Xiao Peichuan and said, "Xiao Peichuan, are you even a man? You didn't even help me!"
"Excuse me, who are you?"
“You, you guys…”
"Little Peach Blossom, ignore this person, he's mentally ill."
Little Peach Blossom nodded: "I also think she's out of her mind, but I'll thank her if she can really save me from going to the research institute."
"Alright, talking to such unimportant people is a waste of time. I remember a new batch of books arrived yesterday, let's go see if there's anything you like."
"Okay, where is it?"
"Come with me."
Little Peach Blossom quickly grabbed Xiao Peichuan's big hand, and the two of them happily went to find the book.
Li Sheng'er: ……
Li Sheng'er was so angry she was practically going crazy on the spot.
"A voice, a voice..."
Why didn't you help me just now?!
"I'm sorry, Sheng'er, you know I'm a coward."
"You, you useless piece of trash!"
Qin Manli lowered her head to hide the hatred in her eyes.
Yes, she was a good-for-nothing, always seen as such by Li Sheng'er. But didn't this good-for-nothing also instigate many things for Li Sheng'er without her noticing?
She's happy to be this useless person.
After all these years, apart from her, no one else wanted to be friends with Li Sheng'er, and she only had herself as a friend.
How pathetic.
Therefore, Qin Manli felt no guilt at all for using Li Sheng'er. It's just that Li Sheng'er was becoming more and more useless. All she could do was rage in a powerless manner and couldn't do anything. A single word from someone could make her explode with anger.
Useless! Utter trash!
But unfortunately, this person has powerful connections, which she can't match.
If she were Li Sheng'er...
"No way! Didn't Lin Xiaotao say she wanted to join the lab? I'm not going to let her have her way! Let's go back first!"
Qin Manli obediently followed.
If you say anything to Li Sheng'er at this point, she'll just become your punching bag.
As for Xiao Taohua and Xiao Peichuan, neither of them took Li Shenger's words to heart.
Just as Xiao Taohua thought, if someone is really rich and powerful and can't let her into the lab, then so be it. Everything will be done according to Xiao Taohua's preferences.
And when that time really comes, they won't let those who target them get away with it.
Both Xiao Taohua and Xiao Peichuan are capable of doing this.
Xiao Taohua genuinely didn't care, and Xiao Peichuan's indifference was, of course, due to his connections.
Neither side knows the other's network of contacts, but if something really goes wrong, it could be a big deal.
Unfortunately, some people are just that brainless.
Well, if someone like that had a powerful background, he would have been killed long ago. How could he still be alive today?
Professor Song's face darkened upon hearing the research institute's reply: "So, you're rejecting Lin Xiaotao's application to join the research institute?"
“Professor Song, even if Lin Xiaotao is a genius, she is not qualified for the research institute. Besides, she has only been in college for half a year. Our research institute does not recruit just anyone.”
"Do you know that Lin Xiaotao is being groomed by higher-ups?"
"I know, but like I said, even the most talented person has only been to university for half a year. Maybe you can wait until he graduates normally and then apply again."
Professor Song almost laughed in anger: "Graduation normally? Even the joint signatures of several professors can't prove someone's ability. So what if it's normal graduation? Would you even pass?"
The other party said sheepishly, "We will definitely conduct a comprehensive assessment."
"What kind of assessment is this!"
"Professor Song, that's not right. No matter who it is, those who can enter the research institute are all elites. If there is no assessment, then anyone can just get in."
