The female classmate gritted her teeth, feeling a sense of defiance as if she had been played. Unable to hold back, she said, "Shouldn't seniors be focusing on finding internships at this time? Especially economics majors. Is it that you haven't found a suitable internship and ended up at the Dessert Shop? If you want, I can help you with introductions; we’re looking for interns over there."
Someone chimed in, "Right! Aren't you working at the headquarters of X Bank? It would be easy to arrange an internship position for Rao Jie at one of the branches. Having banking experience on your resume would definitely make it look better."
The female classmate smiled and looked at Rao Jie, appearing genuinely eager to help.
But in that moment, Rao Jie was stunned. It was as if her soul had left her body; the composure she had just moments ago evaporated, leaving her feeling lost like a child without direction. To others, it seemed like a sudden opportunity had presented itself—an incredible surprise for someone who had yet to step into the professional world. After all, even other students found it difficult to secure internships at X Bank during this time.
This was undoubtedly a great opportunity. Although arranging internships at branches might be easy, one typically needed connections or financial backing to secure such positions. Despite the questionable intentions behind the offer—clearly aimed at humiliating Rao Jie for not being able to find an internship on her own—Ye Ming thought about it and realized that this could be a significant benefit for Rao Jie.
He initially expected Rao Jie to accept the offer, but when he looked over, he found her still in a daze. Ye Ming's heart skipped a beat; he knew that the female classmate was the one trying to get close to Wu Rong, but did Rao Jie not realize this? Could she somehow sense her rival?
Zhan Ruoyang, who could still converse with Rao Jie, noticed her stupor and said, "Aren't you looking to get into a bank? This is a good opportunity; you can check it out in advance."
Rao Jie snapped back to reality, her heart stirred as she turned to look at Wu Rong. Their eyes met, but what Wu Rong saw was different from what others perceived. The thing she had always wanted suddenly appeared before her—though it was merely an internship opportunity, as everyone said, it was indeed a hundred percent benefit.
Logically speaking, there should be no reason to refuse; she should simply agree. However, ever since Rao Jie mentioned her job earlier, Wu Rong had sensed what Rao Jie was trying to do. Now, the situation felt like a shock for Rao Jie—it inadvertently placed her at a crossroads where she had to make a choice.
Rao Jie looked over with a confused expression. Wu Rong held her hand tightly throughout the ordeal, conveying with unwavering eyes that whatever decision she made would be fine.
"Does this matter really need Wu Rong's approval? Wu Rong, aren't you being too controlling with your girlfriend?" someone remarked.
Wu Rong didn't respond but continued watching the struggling and distressed Rao Jie with concern in her heart.
To others, it might seem like a trivial matter, but at this moment, it felt entirely different to Rao Jie. While others spoke lightly, the words created a thunderous effect in her world. She had almost given up, but suddenly an opportunity appeared before her; taking a step forward could lead her down a smooth path.
But did she really want to walk this path? Rao Jie felt a twinge of anxiety.
Wu Rong couldn't bear to see Rao Jie forced to make a decision in such a noisy environment. Turning to the female classmate, she said, "I'm sorry, could we let Rao Jie think it over for a night?"
The classmate was taken aback. Just moments ago, Wu Rong hadn’t spoken to her at all or even glanced her way. Now, she was looking directly at her and speaking in such a tone.
