Chapter 88 You can’t get this luck without strength, right?
Susanna couldn't tell whether the curiosity in Scarlett's eyes was real or fake, and she hesitated even more when the words came to her lips. She was worried that if she said too much, it would be disrespectful to His Highness, but if she said too little, she was afraid that it would not sway His Highness.
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Highness, Christine leads a simple life, devoted to research. She's a commoner underground and has seen many orcs die from incurable diseases. Since childhood, she's been determined to develop affordable medicine so that even commoners can afford it."
"Since she entered the institute, she has stayed in the laboratory every day and rarely communicated with others."
Susannah's voice faltered at this point. She cautiously glanced at Scarlett's face. Seeing that she looked calm, she continued, "Christine is very talented. Many males have expressed their love to her, but she has rejected them all. She has no interest in finding a partner, and her life is entirely focused on research."
"That photo on Xingxing.com is most likely a misunderstanding. Please, Your Highness, please understand."
After she finished speaking, Susanna broke out in a cold sweat on her back. Her clothes stuck to her back, and a strong sense of discomfort clung to her body, making her feel as if she was about to suffocate.
Her eyelids drooped, not daring to look up. Her breathing slowed down unconsciously, and her ears pricked up, afraid of missing any movement in the file room.
suddenly.
Susanna heard a very light laugh, it came from Scarlett!
She didn't even look up, but knelt directly. Her voice cut through her throat, bringing the sharpest sting. "I spoke carelessly and offended Your Highness. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
Susanna kowtowed heavily, her eyes aligned with a crystal clear sapphire on the tip of Scarlett's shoe. It was so close that she could even see every facet of the sapphire.
The rich blue is tinged with a touch of dreamy purple, and each side is cut perfectly, reflecting bright and dazzling light.
For a moment, she felt as if her eyes were stabbed, and her head lowered even lower, almost buried in the floor, so she didn't notice Scarlett moving on tiptoe to avoid her kneeling.
Scarlett's chuckle just now didn't mean anything special, but it was because she saw the last page of Christine's profile.
It was a survey question and answer session before she joined the research institute.
The institute asked: Why do you want to join the 403 Institute?
Christine replied: I want to develop affordable medicine so everyone can afford it. I want to cultivate quality soil so that real plants can be grown in the interstellar space. I want to make a contribution to this world and let those underground see the real sunlight. I want males to no longer rely on comfort, and females to have a broader sky. I want...
Christine answered a lot of questions, and if you counted carefully, there were dozens of expectations for the future.
Her handwriting is as vigorous and free as a dragon, and you can see how high-spirited she was when she answered this question.
And one last sentence.
I also want to make more money so that I can take my sister out to eat meat. She has been craving it for a long time.
Scarlett smiled when she saw this.
Look ahead.
The image of Christine in her mind is that of another person's child, who wears thick black-framed glasses, loves reading, enjoys reading, and does things in a methodical manner.
But this sentence.
A bright and lively girl comes to life on the paper.
So cute.
After laughing, Scarlett felt a little sad.
Meat.
The most insignificant thing in the heavenly world.
For people in the underground world, it is something that needs to be written into their future expectations.
Scarlett glanced at the annotation.
Circle all of Christine's answers except the "eating meat" statement in red, and mark them as: wild and unrealistic.
Annotator: Vanessa.
Ashley's teacher, and also an SS-level female.
Scarlett smiled, her eyebrows suddenly raised, "Do you have a red pen?"
she asked Susanna.
Susanna didn't understand what was going on, but she didn't dare hesitate. She took out the pen from her pocket, picked out the red pen, held it in her hand, and raised both hands above her head, "Your Highness, pen."
Scarlett said "Oh", squatted beside her, took the pen from her hand, and said in her ear: "Thank you."
Susanna was startled, her eyes widened a little, and the tips of her ears tingled slightly, and she couldn't believe what she heard.
She mustered up her courage and tilted her head.
In my sight, Scarlett was sitting on the floor with her back against the filing cabinet, holding a document in one hand and a pen in the other. The pen had a cap on it, which she pulled off with her teeth, and then wrote and drew on the document.
The movements were so smooth and natural that Susanna's eyes were almost dazzled and she forgot to speak for a moment.
When she came to her senses, her clothes were soaked with sweat.
"Your Highness! You can't scribble on documents!!!"
…
…
Scarlett felt that she had troubled Susanna, so she treated her to dessert.
The exquisite desserts are not only beautiful in appearance, but also taste amazing. The aftertaste is long and the fragrance is refreshing.
The two of them ate in the file room and chatted while eating.
Susanna was desperate and had lost all hope of saying no. With every bite of dessert, she thought about how many reports she had to write.
By the end of the meal, she couldn't count them anymore.
Just accept your fate.
"The dean's information is also here."
Scarlett walked to the employee filing cabinet at some point, took out a file bag, cut open the bottom with a knife, and opened the document without hesitation.
There are two rows of filing cabinets between them.
Susannah answered while sorting through the documents, "Yes. The basic information of all the employees in our institute is here."
"Are there any for you?"
"have."
Susanna raised her hand and pointed to the location. "My information is there."
Scarlett opened it and asked, "Are you a civilian too?"
Susanna nodded, "Yes, Your Highness."
"Then you must be very good." Scarlett said with a smile.
excellent?
Susanna paused as she sorted through the documents. Her fingertips rested on one of the documents, stroking the edge of the file bag. "I was lucky to be admitted to the Imperial City."
"What do you mean?" Scarlett asked curiously, her eyes passing through the gap between the filing cabinets and falling in Susanna's direction.
Susanna's eyes evaded for a moment, a dazed expression on her face. "The year I took the exam, the first and second place finishers both missed the final round of interviews due to other matters, so I was appointed first place."
Scarlett's eyes lit up, "Without the ability, you wouldn't have this luck, right?"
Susanna was stunned again, her eyes a little dull. After a lot of effort, she moved her gaze from the document to Scarlett's face. Meeting her clear eyes, she said in surprise, "Christine said the same thing."
It is precisely because of this sentence.
She and Kristen became very good friends.
In fact, she is not only a commoner, but also a lower-class pariah among commoners. Because of her good luck, she was admitted to the imperial city, but when she came here, everyone looked down on her.
She had been humble and submissive for three years, but was still not accepted by everyone.
She does all the dirty work.
She was insulted and punished.
Until I met Christine...
Her life has taken on a different color.
But Christine is gone.
She became the silent Susanna again.
Susanna lowered her head and said nothing more.
Scarlett noticed Susanna's silence and didn't ask any more questions, continuing to look at other information.
With a flick of her fingertips, she found Vanessa's file bag.
Just about to open it.
The door to the filing room was opened.
"Your Highness."
