Actually, Bai Ningning still had some things she hadn't told Lingyin.
Lingyin was unclear about which local companies were involved in ACG (Anime, Comic, and Games) and was considering a partnership. But Bai Ningning knew that Qin's company was planning to dip its toes into the secondary dimension industry.
This was something Qin Yue had personally told her, and they had even set up a mobile game project to take the lead.
However, it was still too early to discuss this; they would see if there were any opportunities later.
"Tomorrow afternoon is another holiday, time flies," Bai Ningning said, stretching under the girls' dormitory building, almost popping the button on her collar.
For her, it was now just a matter of waiting for the weekend to arrive, then going to the company to check on the project progress and welcoming a few interns with her older sister.
But before the weekend, Bai Ningning had one last thing to do.
She opened a chat window on QQ and initiated a voice call. A few minutes later, "Nainai is almost done" accepted the voice invitation.
"Big, big, big sister?" Nainai stammered nervously, "What do you need?"
"Nothing much, just wanted to ask," Bai Ningning replied casually, "Are you in the dorm now? Do you have time? I want to come up and see you."
No other meaning, just a routine check-in, like a carrier returning to port to care for its destroyer. Was there any problem with that?
Before Nainai could respond, another voice came through the phone.
"Sister, how can you do this? You... you can't do this!"
It was Xiao Yi's voice; they were in the same dorm.
Bai Ningning was confused: "What do you mean?"
"How can you do this? Nainai is only, only, only..." Xiao Yi stammered for a while, then turned to Nainai, "How old are you this year?"
"Just eighteen," Nainai replied.
"Did you hear that? She's only eighteen! Just turned eighteen!"
After saying this, Xiao Yi fell silent for ten seconds, then lowered her voice, "How can you be just eighteen?"
Nainai's innocent voice came through: "Because I'm a freshman."
Yes, Xiao Yi suddenly realized this; although they looked like little lolis on the outside, they were already freshmen at Xicheng University.
This year, I am eighteen, and she is also eighteen.
"Okay, but we're not in the dorm," Xiao Yi's voice became weak, "We have classes all day today, Sister, you won't find a chance to come."
"Alright, then Nainai, are you free this weekend?" Bai Ningning asked into the phone.
Nainai took back her phone and replied softly, "Sister, I have something to do this weekend; I need to meet with the person providing the content, regarding the contract and such."
"That's a coincidence," Bai Ningning chuckled lightly, "We're going the same way; I'll take you with me."
There was silence on the other end for a moment, and then Nainai suddenly got excited: "Sister, are you the person in charge?"
"Huh?" Bai Ningning raised an eyebrow.
"I asked them why they called me back. They said it was because the project leader specifically mentioned it, so they brought me back," Nainai said excitedly, "So it was you who helped me."
"It's not that serious; you were let go before just because of a misunderstanding. I inquired about it, the misunderstanding was cleared up, and naturally, they brought you back," Bai Ningning said, "Mainly, your abilities are there; it has little to do with my help."
"I understand; I know it's all because of you, Sister," Nainai's voice was a bit choked, "I..."
"Okay, then let's meet on Saturday morning."
Bai Ningning spoke first and then hung up the voice call. She couldn't stand hearing little lolis cry; once she did, she couldn't help but pull them into her warm embrace.
Alright, the things that needed to be done were done; now to find a lounge and wait for the weekend.
On the other side, in a classroom during a break, Xiao Yi looked at the tearful Nainai with mixed feelings.
Although her friend didn't say anything, Xiao Yi knew what she was thinking.
She really... is so gentle... I'm really... going to cry.
Isn't that right?
"Nainai, I know Sister is a gentle person and treats you well; of course, she treated me well before too," Xiao Yi said, mustering her courage as a friend, "But you have to be a little careful."
Nainai wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Careful about what?"
"Sister might do something irrational," Xiao Yi lowered her voice, "Like pushing you into a big pillow and making you faint on the spot!"
"No, no way," Nainai's little mouth trembled, "Is it that scary?"
So scary.
......
Qin Yue lay on the sofa, watching the girl walk into the living room, pick up a cup of water, and gulp it down, then put her hands on her hips, looking quite self-righteous.
"You're back," she lazily greeted, "Is it again 'even though I did nothing today, but still worked hard for myself'?"
Bai Ningning finished her water and sat down next to Qin Yue: "Don't talk nonsense; I did do something."
I pointed out the development plan for the club; isn't that considered doing something?
"Alright, then let's say you worked hard," Qin Yue took out her phone and connected to the projector's Bluetooth, "Do you want to see the three interns coming to the company the day after tomorrow?"
Bai Ningning became interested: "Show me."
No other meaning, just wanted to see what the young ladies in the city looked like.
Qin Yue had known the girls from those three families for a long time, so she naturally had photos on hand. After connecting to the projector's Bluetooth, the photos were sent up.
This one is not bad; her face is quite round.
This one is okay too, but her gaze is a bit too sharp.
After looking at a few photos, Bai Ningning felt a bit disappointed. It wasn't that they were unattractive; in fact, these two girls were quite pretty, but they didn't have that eye-catching quality.
Bai Ningning reflected deeply; it might be because she looked in the mirror too often, plus she had Qin Yue, Qin Xin, President Lingyin, and the loli duo... ah, no, the loli pair, so her aesthetic standards were set too high.
Qin Yue noticed her expression and chuckled softly: "So these two aren't good enough, huh? How about this one?"
Wow, this one is beautiful.
The last girl was similar to Bai Ningning in type, just not as youthful. She was indeed very pretty, with a small face, pure and elegant, looking like an older version of Bai Ningning.
The only downside was, um... this one is a bit flat.
But it didn't matter; whether it was about pillows or not, it was irrelevant since it wasn't as big as her own. The main thing was the face; this one was too beautiful.
"How about it? Feeling threatened?" Qin Yue introduced, "This is the girl from the Si family."
"Mm," Bai Ningning gave her evaluation, "Very pretty."
"But you don't have to worry; I've occasionally communicated with her before," Qin Yue reassured, "She's a serious person and a straight shooter."
Qin Yue knew very well that among the three interns, she was the only one who genuinely came to learn skills and gain work experience. Although the elders from the Si family who sent her didn't think so, it didn't matter; that girl always had her own plans.
