"But..."
"Alright, keep watching."
The first two girls walked in, and the last one entered the camera's view. Even Bai Ningning's heart skipped a beat when she saw her.
She was the most beautiful among the three interns, or rather, she was on a completely different level from the first two.
Si Youxue.
Bai Ningning had seen her in photos before and knew she was beautiful. But seeing a living person through the camera today still surprised her.
With smooth black hair, a delicate face the size of a palm, and beautiful eyes that were cool yet not cold, she resembled melting ice and snow.
Overall, she was the type of pure and stunning girl, hmm, a similar style to her own.
"Senior," Nainai whispered, "This sister's style is a bit similar to yours."
See, even the loli junior said so.
"Yes, I think so too."
"But she's taller than you," Nainai added.
Si Youxue was tall and slender, with a pure face that matched her equally pure figure.
Suddenly, Nainai felt a pair of jade hands wrap around her head and then push her back sharply.
"Ugh...!"
"Yes, she's taller than me," Bai Ningning pouted unhappily, "But I'm older than her."
And much older!
To put it bluntly, among the three girls that the relatives painstakingly sent over, only Si Youxue had any fighting chance based on looks alone.
Unfortunately, she was straight.
Ah, no, from my perspective, I should say thankfully she is straight.
Bai Ningning quickly corrected her thoughts; Qin Yue had warned her that these girls were here to compete for the position of the future mistress of the Qin family. But to be honest, Bai Ningning didn't understand what this competition entailed or why sending them here was considered competition.
She might as well view them as normal interns.
"There's no one here," Su Le found a chair to sit down, "it's really quiet."
Lin Yi took another ergonomic chair: "Sister Qin Yue won't be here until nine o'clock, we still have a while."
Both ergonomic chairs in the room were occupied, and Si Youxue stood quietly beside them.
"Si Youxue, why are you just standing there?" Su Le laughed, "There's a chair over there, go sit down."
"Yeah, go sit," Lin Yi chimed in, "Who are you showing your face to by standing there?"
Si Youxue didn't speak or move, still standing quietly in place.
That chair was clearly reserved for Qin Yue; she would be foolish to sit in it.
"Oh, right, Si Youxue is here to learn work skills, so standing for a bit is fine," Su Le covered her mouth and chuckled, "This is called, um, work attitude."
Lin Yi also laughed: "After all, she's a noble straight girl."
In the lounge, Bai Ningning was confused, realizing that these people didn't seem to be on the same side.
"Senior," Nainai whispered, "The way those two are talking is so strange."
"Yeah," Bai Ningning said seriously, "it's really bad, they don't know how to talk at all."
They should learn from me and read more about emotional intelligence.
The two over there continued their sarcastic banter, and Si Youxue couldn't help but interject: "Are you two bent?"
"If it's Sister Qin Yue, we can be bent," Lin Yi said.
When they first heard the elders in their family mention this, both she and Su Le were shocked. But after analyzing the pros and cons, both girls were intrigued.
"Right, right, you can be bent," Si Youxue said expressionlessly, "I believe you like girls, like Qin Yue, not just the identity of the mistress of the Qin family."
Lin Yi immediately got angry: "Si Youxue, what do you mean by that!"
"I mean nothing, I said I believe you," Si Youxue slightly nodded, glancing at her, "Why are you so anxious?"
Because of the standing and sitting arrangement, it created a sense of superiority.
"You!"
"Alright, alright," Su Le saw the situation was getting tense and quickly mediated, "Our common enemy is that girl with the surname Bai, let's not fight among ourselves."
In the lounge, Nainai muttered, "Wasn't she the one who said it first?"
"Yes," Bai Ningning pouted, "it's quite funny how the one who stirs the pot pretends to be the good person in the end."
"By the way, Senior, when she said the girl with the surname Bai, it wouldn't be you, right?" Nainai seemed to sense something.
Bai Ningning chuckled lightly: "This question is quite complicated, so let's not ask, okay?"
"...Oh."
Nainai didn't understand, and she didn't dare to ask; if she did, her little head would be pressed into the pillow.
On the other side, mentioning Bai Ningning finally stopped their internal conflict. However, Si Youxue still stood quietly to the side, not speaking or showing any reaction.
She wasn't here for Qin Yue; whether Bai Ningning was good or not had nothing to do with her.
"That girl who supposedly came from the countryside doesn't have much experience, so don't take her too seriously," Lin Yi said.
"But the elders said she is definitely not as simple as she appears," Su Le disagreed, "They told me to pay more attention."
In fact, the elders had said it more seriously, especially those relatives from the Qin family, urging them to observe Bai Ningning's actions and learn from her whenever possible.
They didn't know what Bai Ningning had done to make them so wary.
Suddenly, the office door opened.
The crisp sound of high heels echoed.
Su Le and Lin Yi quickly stood up, feeling nervous and excited: "Good morning, Sister Qin."
As expected, this powerful figure from the Qin Group was just as beautiful and strong as the rumors suggested, exuding an unparalleled aura of authority. Standing in front of her, the two girls felt suddenly inferior.
Si Youxue greeted her lightly: "Hello, President Qin."
Qin Yue nodded perfunctorily and looked towards the corner: "Ningning, come out."
Ningning? Bai Ningning?
Su Le and Lin Yi were taken aback. Their strongest rival was hiding nearby, secretly observing?
No, it couldn't be...
With a creak, the resting room behind the screen opened, and Bai Ningning stood charmingly in front of everyone.
The two girls couldn't help but hold their breath, even Si Youxue showed a hint of surprise in her eyes.
This village girl, how could she be so beautiful?
And her chest is so big!
Su Le and Lin Yi exchanged glances and bit their teeth hard.
Calm down, calm down. What good is beauty? Being somewhat pretty is enough; being the mistress of the Qin family isn't just about being beautiful.
Compared to Bai Ningning's appearance, they were more curious about the methods of this village girl that their elders feared the most.
Come on, show us what you've got!
"Ningning," Qin Yue said with a faint smile, "Why did you leave so early this morning without telling me?"
"I went to pick someone up and brought her here, so I didn't tell you," Bai Ningning turned and held Nainai's little hand, "I haven't introduced you yet, come, this is my junior, and one of the illustrators providing materials for the project team."
A cute little girl, delicately carved like jade, appeared before everyone.
