"Don't look at me like that. If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place." Li Xin sneered.
Zhao Jiajia tugged at Li Xin's arm, signaling her to stop talking, but Li Xin became even angrier and yelled at Ni Sitian, "So what if you know how to use connections! So what if you sleep with that old man!"
Ni Sitian suddenly stood up, looked at Li Xin, and gritted her teeth: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm talking nonsense? It's you who's been acting recklessly!" Li Xin shook off Zhao Jiajia's tug and rushed to Ni Sitian, her eyes red-rimmed: "You know perfectly well what underhanded methods you used to get that guaranteed admission spot!"
After she finished speaking, she ran out of the dormitory. Ni Sitian felt that she had been scolded for no reason.
Zhao Jiajia glanced at Ni Sitian and awkwardly explained for Li Xin, "She received the notification of being recommended for postgraduate studies last Thursday, but on Friday she was suddenly told that the spot was gone. I don't know where she found out that the spot was for you, so she's probably feeling wronged. Don't blame her."
Ni Sitian frowned even more deeply. She had no idea about these things. How could the department head take back a spot that had already been given to someone else and transfer it to her?
Moreover, Li Xin has always been a good student who receives scholarships, so there is no reason for the department head to transfer her spot to her. What exactly is going on?
Ni Sitian was unwilling to take the blame for this, so she quickly left the dormitory and headed towards the department head's office.
As she reached the door, she saw it was ajar. Just as she was about to knock, she heard the department head's voice mention her name, and she stopped.
"Academician Jin, it's Ni Sitian's own fault for not wanting to go. I've done my best." The department head said with difficulty into the phone, "Many students are vying for this spot."
Ni Sitian couldn't hear what was being said on the other end, only that the department head's voice was tinged with laughter: "Thank you in advance for this selection. Yes, I understand. Of course, the selection has nothing to do with the guaranteed admission..."
Ni Sitian's face paled. She suddenly remembered who the Academician Jin mentioned by the department head might be—her mother-in-law, Jin Rulan.
She never imagined that the guaranteed admission spot was actually a dirty deal, a deal that sacrificed a hardworking student.
Ni Sitian clenched her fists, turned around and ran away in a fit of rage.
After running out of the school gate, she hailed a taxi and gave Xu Tingchuan's company address.
Along the way, she thought about how Li Xin had insulted her with harsh words, and now she had no right to be assertive. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she trembled with anger.
She and Jin Rulan had only met once so far. If it wasn't at Xu Tingchuan's behest, why would Jin Rulan do such an unnecessary thing?
"Miss, we've arrived." The driver parked the car in front of the most upscale office building in Yihai City.
Ni Sitian took out a hundred yuan, and without waiting for change, got out of the car and ran into the office building.
Once inside, he realized he didn't even know which floor Xu Tingchuan was on, so he went to the front desk first and said, "I'm looking for Xu Tingchuan."
"May I ask who you are?" the receptionist greeted with a polite smile.
Ni Sitian gave her name, and the receptionist dialed the internal phone number of Secretary Xue in the president's office.
When Secretary Xue heard the receptionist say that a Ms. Ni was looking for Mr. Xu, she immediately realized that it must be Mrs. Xu, and told the receptionist to bring her up.
Ni Sitian was taken to the twenty-third floor in a private elevator.
Secretary Xue was full of anticipation to meet the legendary Mrs. Xu, but when she saw Ni Sitian, she was genuinely stunned and wondered if she had made a mistake.
This Mrs. Xu... why does she look like a student?
