Song Xi had already predicted how the production team would edit the preview for this episode when it aired.
No, the atmosphere was too volatile.
She frowned, thinking rapidly. Jin Ying, observing her expression, misunderstood. "No way, no way, the group you actually want to join isn't Teacher Yu's, is it! You're just trying to mislead us!"
That was a good idea.
A smile tugged at the corner of Song Xi's lips, and she remained silent.
Jin Ying immediately acted as if she had discovered a huge secret, covering her mouth and exclaiming, "Cunning!"
The others were also stunned when they heard Song Xi's response.
"Really?" asked Wen Junying.
Song Xi fell silent and quickly fled.
"Wait, Song Xi, explain yourself!"
Thus, the originally tense atmosphere dissipated instantly.
At three in the afternoon, everyone sat at their stations, quietly awaiting their summons to the office.
Every pair of eyes was filled with nervousness and unease.
"Gao Yuan."
The first person called was Gao Yuan.
Hearing his name spoken by Teacher Huang Mao Shi, Gao Yuan froze.
Huang Mao Shi poked his head out of the office and beckoned to Gao Yuan warmly. "Gao Yuan, come here."
Gao Yuan jumped up abruptly, his face etched with flattered surprise.
"Jin Ying," Huang Mao Shi also called out to Jin Ying.
"Yes!"
Jin Ying got her wish and happily went over.
Four interns remained.
The sound of high heels suddenly echoed on the floor, striking a chord in everyone's hearts.
A graceful figure appeared in Song Xi's peripheral vision.
"Song Xi, Wen Junying, you two, come with me."
Teacher Yu didn't choose Song Xi!
Everyone was greatly shocked.
Song Xi, however, calmly stood up and followed Wen Junying into Shi Xiangxue's office.
Wen Junying stealthily glanced at Song Xi. She showed no signs of disappointment. Was this woman's mental fortitude too strong, or, as Jin Ying had suggested, did she actually prefer another group?
"Zhai Yixuan..."
Just as the office door was about to close, Song Xi heard Yu Sen's voice call out behind her.
The spacious office, with its beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows, two potted plants beside the desk, and meticulously organized items, filled Song Xi with the faint scent of gardenias. Her gaze drifted, and she spotted an aromatherapy diffuser in the corner.
This was the office of an elegant urban woman; it was truly a pleasure to behold.
"Sit," Shi Xiangxue said with a slight smile. Her exquisite makeup made her appear noble and beautiful. "Do you know why I chose you two?"
Wen Junying and Song Xi exchanged glances, both shaking their heads in confusion.
"The reason is simple."
Just as the two thought Shi Xiangxue would elaborate on her considerations, she merely said lightly, "One is handsome, the other is beautiful."
Wen Junying: "?"
Song Xi: "?"
What had they just heard?
Shi Xiangxue spread her hands, readily admitting, "I'm a sucker for good looks."
Wen Junying was dumbfounded. Was it that casual?
"Of course, that's only one of the reasons," Shi Xiangxue added.
She knew how to create suspense.
This segment would likely trend again later.
"First, your ideas are unconventional, you have a certain aesthetic sensibility, and your personality is very open, which I like very much."
This was her assessment of Wen Junying.
Wen Junying puffed out her chest proudly. "Thank you, Teacher Shi."
"As for Song Xi..."
She deliberately drew out the end of her sentence, building anticipation. "You were wanted by all three of us, so I want to hear your thoughts, especially since you'll be visiting other offices shortly."
Song Xi blinked in surprise.
Wen Junying asked incredulously, "What do you mean, reverse selection!?"
