Two days later, at eight in the morning.
Su Zelin drove out of the house in a hurry in his Passat.
At nine o'clock, Qin Shiqing took a bus to Shenghai so that she could get there early.
It's about time.
An exquisite gift box was lying quietly on the passenger seat. It was a gift for Qin Shiqing, bought at a boutique store last night.
Do things from beginning to end. Besides, her childhood roommate and classmates all think that she is her boyfriend, so she has to show some respect.
After leaving the Finance Institute, Su Zelin stepped deeply on the accelerator, and with a low roar, the car sped away on the highway.
It was only a few stops away and would not take twenty minutes, but not long after, the Passat suddenly stopped.
Because the front was filled with a sea of vehicles, moving slowly, like countless giant snails with gray smoke spewing from their butts.
Su Zelin frowned and frowned.
What the hell, there’s a traffic jam at this critical moment!
Even during the morning rush hour, there is rarely any traffic jam on Xueyuan Road.
Firstly, this main road is spacious; secondly, it is not located in the city center; thirdly, most of the passengers are college students and fewer people go out in the morning, so the traffic condition on weekdays is smoother than that after taking Xietingfeng.
After waiting patiently for a while, the traffic jam not only eased, but the traffic ahead came to a complete stop. Even motorcycles and electric donkeys could hardly move, let alone cars.
There was thick smoke billowing in the distant sky. Many drivers got out of their cars and gathered in groups of three or four on the roadside, complaining.
Su Zelin went up to find out the situation and learned that it was a serious traffic accident caused by a chain rear-end collision of multiple vehicles, including two buses, one of which was on fire, blocking the entire road.
The traffic police carried out emergency traffic control and worked with the fire department to deal with the accident, but no one could say when traffic would be restored.
We can't keep waiting like this!
…
Zhejiang University: Several buses are parked at the gate of Zhejiang University, ready to go.
They are chartered buses specially for internships, and they will take a group of college students to Shenghai today.
Near the bus, many young couples said goodbye to each other reluctantly.
Qin Shiqing looked into the distance.
The time to set off is approaching, but her childhood sweetheart has not shown up yet, which makes the girl anxious, and she paces back and forth like an ant on hot pan.
What time is it? Why hasn’t that guy arrived yet
Qin Shiqing took out her cell phone and dialed the familiar number, but for some reason, no one answered the call until it stopped ringing. She had made several calls in the past ten minutes, and each time she got the same result.
"Shiqing, where is your little Linzi?"
Xiao Yue, who had the best relationship with Qin Shiqing in the dormitory, asked curiously.
My sister has to go to internship today.
Logically, Su Zelin, as her boyfriend, should come to see her off.
"I don't know either. He said he would come!"
Qin Shiqing put away her phone, feeling a little helpless.
"Shiqing, I have to tell you some bad news. I just heard a driver talking on the phone with someone else. It seems that there was an accident on Xueyuan Road and traffic control was implemented. Maybe Su Zelin was stuck in traffic."
Deng Xiaoman shrugged.
"Accident, is it serious?"
Qin Shiqing's heart skipped a beat, and her heart instantly rose to her throat.
If Su Zelin couldn't get to Zhejiang University in time to say goodbye to me because of traffic control and traffic jam, it wouldn't be the worst news. I was just afraid that things would be much worse than I imagined.
After all, her childhood sweetheart hasn't answered the phone since a while ago, so it's no wonder that the girl would be worried and have wild thoughts.
If there was a traffic jam, at this time, Su Zelin would also check his mobile phone, or call himself to inform him of the situation or something. There shouldn't be no movement. This is too abnormal.
Deng Xiaoman nodded. "It should be quite serious. The bus driver said that many cars collided and many people were injured. A bus also caught fire. The traffic police, fire trucks, and ambulances have all arrived."
Qin Shiqing became increasingly unable to remain calm. Her palms were sweating. She closed her eyes, put her palms together as if praying, and muttered something in her heart.
God bless you, Xiao Linzi, I hope nothing happens to you!
"Here he comes, here he comes!"
The sharp-eyed Chen Zi suddenly discovered something.
A dark shadow came closer and closer, and his face gradually became clear in front of everyone. It was Su Zelin.
Qin Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.
"Xiao Linzi, you finally showed up. We, Ai Shiqing, were so anxious. We thought you had stood us up!"
The two sides had a very good relationship, and Xiao Yue couldn't help teasing Hunzi as soon as they met.
"How is it possible, Xiao Yueyue? Just because of you beauties, my legs were broken. I have to crawl over here!"
Su Zelin said with a grin.
Several girls were speechless.
He flirts with others in front of his girlfriend, and he really acts as if Shi Qing doesn't exist!
Having to deal with such a scumbag is something that your sisters will suffer, but both sides are like Zhou Yu and Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten, there is really nothing you can do.
Qin Shiqing pouted her lips, feeling a little unhappy.
Humph, this abominable guy, I was just praying for him!
However, Qin Shiqing soon discovered something.
There were traces of sweat on Su Zelin's forehead.
In this kind of weather, it is impossible to sweat without a certain amount of exercise, and the guy's chest was heaving and he was a little short of breath.
The girl understood at once.
He got stuck in traffic on the way here, so if nothing unexpected happened, he should have run here.
"Traffic jam?"
She asked.
"Yeah, a little bit."
Su Zelin said as if nothing had happened.
He waited on the road for a long time. Fortunately, the Passat was in the lane close to the roadside, so he turned the steering wheel, drove onto the roadbed, stopped in front of a small supermarket, and ran over directly.
"Where's your cell phone?"
"I forgot to take it when I got off the bus."
"Idiot, you are such a big-headed ghost!"
Qin Shiqing complained a few words, but then took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Su Hunzi's forehead.
Several roommates who were force-fed dog food thought he was a fool, a big-headed ghost or a scumbag, but they couldn't help but like him!
"Come on, come on, it's just a little sweat, it's like a morning run."
Su Zelin casually handed over the gift box in his hand: "Here, take care of yourself when you go to Shenghai!"
"I know!"
Qin Shiqing took the bag and felt warm in her heart.
Other people in the class also saw this scene.
"Hey, is that Qin Shiqing's boyfriend?"
"It's just like the rumors say, he's a very handsome guy, he's my type!"
"Don't think too much, he's tall, rich and handsome, and he and Shiqing are childhood sweethearts!"
"… "
They had heard a lot of rumors about Qin Shiqing's boyfriend, which had caused a lot of buzz on Zhejiang University's BBS, but this was the first time they had seen him in person. They were all very curious about Su Zelin and cast their eyes on the two of them.
"Hey, where's Qiu Wen?"
Su Zelin discovered something.
Almost all of Qin Shiqing's roommates came, except Yan Qiuwen.
As far as he knows, Zhejiang University's concentrated internships are all arranged at Shenghai, which is also the custom of this university.
After all, Shenghai is an international metropolis, and there are more good large companies and enterprises there than in Lin'an. Moreover, if you go to other places, you cannot go back to school every day, so interns will be more focused.
In comparison, the School of Finance did not pay so much attention to it. For example, Su Zelin's dormitory arranged for Zeng Kaiping and Hou Yongjin to stay in Lin'an.
Not seeing any sign of Yan Qiuwen, the gangster asked casually.
"Qiu Wen applied to find an internship on her own and didn't come with us."
Xiao Yue explained simply.
Su Zelin didn't find it strange either.
Previously, Yan Qiuwen was able to give up her applications to Peking University and Tsinghua University and choose Zhejiang University instead for one reason - it was close to her home and she was a native of Lin'an.
Similarly, she might stay in Lin'an for the same reason during her internship.
Yan Qiuwen was a top student at Zhejiang University, an elite among top students, who got full marks in almost every subject in every final exam. Thanks to her parents and uncle's strong connections, she could choose a job in many units and state-owned enterprises in Lin'an after graduation, so an internship was of little significance to her.
After chatting with a few girls for a while, it was nine o'clock and time to leave.
Before getting in the car, Qin Shiqing gave Su Zelin a hug, letting the hunzi feel the difference between a grown-up girl and a young girl again, and then she let go: "Xiao Linzi, I'm leaving. I'll call you when I get to Shenghai!"
"Well, smooth sailing!"
Su Zelin nodded slightly.
As he watched the bus take off and disappear in the distance of College Road, the gangster felt suddenly empty in his heart.
On the bus, Qin Shiqing also looked through the window at the familiar shadow that blurred in her sight, and then she retracted her gaze.
Returning to her seat, she carefully took the gift box out of the bag and opened it.
Inside is a Garfield doll with a naughty smile, and at first glance, it looks like a pair of childhood sweethearts.
Qin Shiqing held the little doll in both hands, with a faint smile between her eyebrows.
Well, it's quite cute.
But she suddenly thought of something.
Garfield, it seems, also likes to steal food.
Thinking of this, the girl pinched the doll's face and said, "Don't eat secretly when I'm not around!"
…
Dingsheng Building, New Century Headquarters.
Su Zelin was looking at the computer screen, but he was absent-minded and didn't move the mouse for a long time.
After seeing Qin Shiqing off in the morning, Hunzi fell into a state of loss.
When he was just reborn, his attitude towards his childhood sweetheart was very firm, that is, he must stay away from her and never cheat on her again.
However, this idea gradually began to waver as time went by, and sometimes Su Zelin would doubt his own decisions, which is commonly known as an unstable mind.
This situation has been getting worse recently. If it were in the past, he would never give her a doll. However, last night when he was coming back from the company and passed by a boutique, he couldn't help but go in and buy one.
Occasionally, the gangster would come up with a bizarre idea, which was to try to make Qin Shiqing accept other women around him.
However, as soon as this bold idea came up, Su Zelin himself would be frightened and immediately deny it.
This kind of thing is not a good thing to do rashly. If you are not careful, you will repeat the same mistakes and the relationship between the two parties will fall apart like in the previous life.
For Su Zelin, the most ideal relationship is the close yet distant friendship during high school and college.
However, when graduation season was approaching, he realized that this relationship could not be maintained in the long run.
After all, everyone's youth is short and limited. After Qin Shiqing leaves campus, she will always have her own career and family.
When she gets married and has her own career, will she still be so close to me
impossible!
He knew it was a matter of time, but every time he thought about it, Su Zelin felt uncomfortable.
He didn't want that day to come, but unfortunately he had to face it.
No matter how smart the gangster is, he can't think of a proper solution.
"Knock, knock..."
The knock on the door brought Su Zelin back to his senses.
I saw a man in his thirties, dressed in a suit, standing at the door of the office.
Huang Jinpeng, the company's human resources director, jumped over from another company. He has outstanding abilities and a keen eye for people.
"Director Su, I hope I didn't disturb you?"
"No, Manager Huang, what's the matter?"
Su Zelin tried to cheer himself up.
"It's like this. There was a special applicant at the internship job fair this morning who wanted to join the operations department. I felt it necessary to talk to you about how to arrange her position!"
Huang Jinpeng stated his purpose.
It also aroused Su Zelin's interest.
New Century also provides internship opportunities for college students.
Many large companies do this.
Interns receive low wages, and some receive no wages at all, which is equivalent to free labor.
Moreover, you can extend an olive branch to college students who perform well during their internship. If they are not suitable, just let them go after the internship. This is a good way to recruit and select talents.
The status of an average intern in the company is not even as good as that of a formal newbie. There is nothing much to say about their job title either, of course it is at the very bottom.
However, the head of the human resources department personally came to Su Zelin to discuss how to arrange her position, which made Hunzi very surprised.
"How special is this applicant?"
"Director Su, why don't you take a look for yourself!"
Huang Jinpeng placed a thick stack of archival materials in front of him.
Su Zelin flipped it open and took a look, and he understood why Huang Jinpeng looked at the applicant differently.
In addition to the personal resume, there are also dozens of copies of award certificates!
When applying for a job, every college student will try their best to submit certificates and other things to give themselves extra points. This is normal.
But dozens of copies of certificates, that’s too much!
Su Zelin couldn't help but be surprised.
He was even more surprised when he saw the name on the resume - Yan Qiuwen!
The school he attended is Zhejiang University, so he should be Qin Shiqing’s roommate, not someone with the same name.
What's more, that thick stack of certificates speaks for itself.
There may be many girls named Yan Qiuwen in the world, but there is no other genius with the same name.
But why did Qiuwen go to New Century to apply for a job
Su Zeli was confused.
It's not that the idler is belittling himself.
Although New Century is also a well-known enterprise in the province.
However, compared to a genius like Yan Qiuwen, it seems like a small temple cannot accommodate a great god.
She can easily choose an internship at a Fortune 500 company, or even a giant company.
With these certificates, all domestic and foreign institutions and enterprises will be eager to recruit talents.
This is a bit like a great god running to a small temple.
You can't treat this kind of intern as just a newbie.
Outstanding talents always receive special treatment, so Huang Jinpeng specially found Su Zelin to discuss this.
"I know this girl!"
After a while, Su Zelin raised his head.
"Director Su knows him?"
Huang Jinpeng was a little surprised.
"Well, we're friends, I guess."
The gangster said indifferently.
The head of the human resources department was even more surprised when he heard this.
It is true that birds of a feather flock together!
Su Zelin is undoubtedly a genius as he can become the company's operations director at this age.
Huang Jinpeng and Su Zelin had a lot of contact due to work.
When he first found out that the company's operations director was a young man, he was quite puzzled. However, he soon discovered that this young man did not get to this position by relying on connections. He was personally involved in the development planning of New Century and many important affairs, and did a great job.
He is an absolute contributor to the new century’s success today.
The female intern who came to apply for the job today with dozens of various certificates in hand is obviously also a genius.
Is she coming here for Director Su
Huang Jinpeng thought secretly.
You know what, there is indeed such a possibility.
Director Su is a handsome man, so he must be popular with women.
Unless personal relationships were involved, there was no way New Century could attract such talent.
What's more, the girl's intention is to work in the operations department.
It’s not necessarily a coincidence that a company has so many departments.
However, the head of the HR department just made irresponsible guesses but did not gossip about anything. This was personal privacy and he should not have been asking too much questions.
"Manager Huang, let me handle this matter. I will contact her later!"
Su Zelin pondered for a while and said so.
There was naturally no problem for Yan Qiuwen to go to New Century for internship.
But Hunzi wanted to find out why she came to New Century.
It's just a waste of time, or there may be other reasons.
"Okay, Director Su, since she wants to join the operations department, it's up to you to decide!"
Huang Jinpeng didn't hesitate for too long and just left the office.
Su Zelin looked at the resume again and found Yan Qiuwen's cell phone number.
He and this girl are pretty familiar with each other. They can talk about anything and know each other very well.
However, although we are familiar with each other, it seems that we don’t even know each other’s mobile phone number, and we usually only contact each other through QQ.
So this relationship is quite subtle.
I dialed the number and after a few rings, someone answered. It was Yan Qiuwen's voice.
"Hello?"
"It's me, Su Zelin!"
“Curious why I want to intern at New Century?”
“Somewhat.”
The way two people communicate is always very concise. They can express their meaning with just a few words, and the other party can still understand even if they omit some things.
"I want to study an interesting topic, and your company has the materials I need!"
Yan Qiuwen gave a simple explanation.
"Interesting topic?"
Su Zelin thought about it, but couldn't figure it out.
What Yan Qiuwen is obviously interested in is not how New Century will succeed, but something else.
But the other party didn't elaborate, and the gangster didn't intend to delve into it.
No matter what, for the sake of friendship, I have to give her some convenience.
Besides, research is research, and Yan Qiuwen will still do what an employee should do.
Su Zelin had no doubt about her ability.
The intern's meager salary brought him a good helper.
Even if it's just temporary, it's good.
It's just like getting something for free, it's not a loss at all!
"OK, you are officially hired. You can come for internship anytime!"
…
