Chapter 1545: Chapter 1545: Sir, We Are Not Familiar (7)
Who is spreading such rumors? They’re really fed up with life!
So Xia Chuqing was upset with him for no reason because of this?
“…” Xia Chuqing didn’t speak, only held onto the hot water cup.
Because of the hot water cup and the air conditioning, she wasn’t as cold, but her chest still felt chilly.
“Xia Chuqing, you really have no brains! I’m doing well in C City, why would I report your dad?” Xiao Mo scolded her harshly. “I have no connection with your dad, let alone any grudges!”
Xiao Mo found that no matter how smart women are in normal times, they overthink as soon as something happens.
Any little thing can create a storm.
“How could there be no grudges? You find me annoying, and in consideration of Sister Chaomu’s face, you can’t do anything to me, so you turn and retaliate against my dad, like you…”
“Xia Chuqing!” Xiao Mo interrupted her, too angry to even argue back for a moment.
He was really choked. How could there be such a foolish woman?
After all, he was the deputy general manager of Shen’s. If he really wanted to deal with her dad, would it be necessary to go to so much trouble?
“I…” Xia Chuqing still wanted to speak, but seeing Xiao Mo’s gloomy face, she shrank back in her chair.
“A brain is a good thing. I hope you can get one.” Xiao Mo, angry, dropped this sentence and restarted the car.
It wasn’t worth it to argue with her. After all, he was a man.
Xia Chuqing was stunned. In fact, she knew that Xiao Mo had no grudges against her family.
But… someone said they saw Xiao Mo in the archive room. If it really had nothing to do with him, why did he go to the police station?
And it’s obvious that the people inside knew him, he must have been there more than once.
With doubts in her heart, Xia Chuqing saw Xiao Mo’s gloomy face and didn’t dare to ask more.
All the way, Xia Chuqing didn’t speak, and Xiao Mo didn’t speak again.
Sometimes when they hit a red light, Xiao Mo would just stop the car and rub his fingers on the steering wheel.
Xia Chuqing just hugged her water cup, with her scarf placed aside.
It was just the morning rush hour, the road was very congested, and the car didn’t move for a long time.
“I’ll go to Hanjue to pick up my luggage,” Xia Chuqing said when they were stuck in traffic.
“When does the winter break start?” Xiao Mo asked casually.
Xia Chuqing was taken aback. What does one have to do with the other?
Xiao Mo didn’t look at her, his gaze was fixed straight ahead on the road.
After not getting a response for a long time, he finally turned his head and looked at her, “Gone mute again?”
“…” Xia Chuqing pouted unhappily, “Ten more days.”
In fact, she still hadn’t gotten over her dad’s incident, feeling a bit upset, and had nowhere to vent her anger, wanting to cry but couldn’t.
“Shen’s is recruiting interns for the winter, if you’re short on money, you might want to try it.” Xiao Mo mentioned it casually.
Hearing this, she shook her head, “I’m not short on money.”
Xiao Mo chuckled. Of course, she wasn’t short on money. Her tuition, school fees, and various expenses were all paid by him.
She was still in the dark, thinking it was due to her excellent academic performance and the school’s fee waiver.
The expenses abroad weren’t low. After paying these for her, he even donated a sum of money to the school to be used for scholarships, especially the first-class scholarship.
On one hand, it was to encourage her to study hard, and on the other hand, it was to prevent her from working due to lack of money and neglecting her studies.
“Think it through. You have six months left until graduation. After graduation, you won’t have a place to get a scholarship.” Xiao Mo said calmly.
The cars in front had already formed a long line, moving very slowly.
Xia Chuqing was silent. What Xiao Mo said wasn’t entirely unreasonable.
She couldn’t guarantee that she would find a job immediately after graduation. She had already promised her dad that she wouldn’t stay abroad after graduation and would return to A City.
“C City is also close to Xia Yongfang’s prison. You should think it over.”
Xiao Mo didn’t press her, but every word hit the soft spot in Xia Chuqing’s heart.
His usual style was to know yourself and the enemy, hit where it hurts.
Sure enough, after considering it for a long time, Xia Chuqing looked up, “Will Shen’s take me?”
“I remember telling you before to submit your resume yourself. It’s not up to me whether they want you or not.” Seeing her hesitating, Xiao Mo added, “Shen’s internship salaries are also quite good.”
Xia Chuqing was tempted. She nodded, “Alright, I’ll submit my resume after my exams.”
“Hmm.” Xiao Mo casually snorted.
Xia Chuqing stroked the cup. Indeed, the three terms Xiao Mo mentioned were enough to tempt her.
She was no longer the mayor’s daughter. She needed to save money, get a job, and in the next year and a half, she also wanted to visit her dad often.
So… Shen’s was probably a good choice.
Xia Chuqing tentatively asked again, “What’s the salary for an internship at Shen’s?”
“Don’t always think about the salary. Talk about it if you can get in!” Xiao Mo’s tone was impatient.
Xia Chuqing pouted, what an attitude.
“Aren’t you the deputy general manager? Can’t you disclose some information…” Xia Chuqing muttered.
“What information do you want? Regarding the salary? The secretary department’s salary is relatively high.” Xiao Mo responded calmly.
“Really?” Xia Chuqing’s eyes lit up with joy.
That’s good, she would apply for the secretary department then.
Xiao Mo said nothing, his gaze still fixed ahead.
Seeing Xiao Mo helping her like this, but thinking about how her attitude towards him wasn’t good before.
So, Xia Chuqing apologized, “President Xiao, I’m young. Don’t take offense with me. If I offended you before, please forgive me.”
Xiao Mo saw her being so… insincere, and sneered disdainfully, “Don’t always say you’re young. Young, my foot.”
Xia Chuqing initially wanted to retort, “Compared to you, I am young,” but she thought, since it was an apology, she swallowed her words.
“Being young isn’t an excuse for making mistakes and having a pig brain, don’t always use it as a shield.” Xiao Mo took the opportunity to lecture her a bit.
“I…” Xia Chuqing glared at him, wanting to argue back.
This man was really petty, still holding onto her previous foolishness, and now calling her pig-brained.
But, forget it, forget it, she was the one apologizing.
Anyway, she wouldn’t provoke him in the future…
“In the future, be more mindful in life and work, not everyone will spoil you like your dad.” Xiao Mo lectured a bit more.
“…” Xia Chuqing gritted her teeth. Was he addicted to lecturing?
Xiao Mo saw through the mirror her unwilling expression, knowing well that her apology was insincere and she had probably cursed him a thousand times in her heart.
The traffic was jammed the whole way, and the car was moving slower than an ant.
Neither of them spoke, and Xia Chuqing felt so tortured that she started playing on her phone.
She wasn’t playing games or anything, just flipping through old photos, but the more she looked, the more upset she became.
They used to have such a happy family, her parents loved her dearly, but… why did everything change?
Her fingertips slid over each photo, and Xia Chuqing felt more and more upset.
When Xiao Mo glanced down, he happened to see her actions, so he simply turned on the music in the car.
