Free Web NovelChapter 1168: Chapter 1170
Gong Ruini was preoccupied, running absent-mindedly.
But Gong Jiaxin was different; although she’d often come here on weekends, she would only go into Wan Qiweng’s house, and just heard about the rest, never visiting.
"This place is so pretty."
"This lake looks different from what you see through the window." Gong Jiaxin really didn’t expect so many people running early in the morning.
What surprised Gong Jiaxin more was that on the way, people kept greeting Gong Ruini.
"Hello." When Gong Ruini heard someone greeting her, she stopped worrying. Since she couldn’t solve the troubles, she had to wait for Gong Jiaxin to figure it out.
Sometimes pressure is really something hard to describe; without pressure is not good, but too much pressure is quite troublesome too.
Even though everyone found it strange that Gong Ruini suddenly had someone running with her, they just glanced and didn’t mention it.
Watching her chat with people, Gong Jiaxin was really puzzled. Although she didn’t really know the people here, she could feel that the residents in this community were quite proud.
She didn’t expect the people she thought of as quite proud to greet and chat with Gong Ruini, what was going on? She was truly bewildered.
"Ni Zi, do you know them?" On the way home, Gong Jiaxin couldn’t hold back and asked.
Know them? Gong Ruini shook her head, "How would I know them."
Even if they might be people with backgrounds, so what, does she have to treat them with utmost respect?
"We just know each other from running, and once outside this community, do you think they would acknowledge us?" Gong Ruini wasn’t foolish.
Even if they greet her every day, it’s simply because they all run.
The indifference of foreigners, Gong Ruini felt it in her past life, and during her time in the United States, she remembered it well once again.
Gong Ruini could know these things? Gong Jiaxin was surprised, but thinking of Gong Ruini’s behavior in China, she was relieved.
"Sis, why would you be embarrassed, they won’t help you?"
"Unless you have something to make them see you differently, otherwise they wouldn’t care about you."
Even if someone is a big shot in the design circle, once there’s news of racial discrimination, they fall to the bottom and get trampled on, no one remembers how admired they once were.
"Although they live in this community and earn decent salaries, so what." The so-called American middle class, life isn’t necessarily good.
When each month’s salary goes to the IRS and part of the pension is deducted, then paying various bills, the so-called millionaire salary doesn’t necessarily bring a life as comfortable as theirs in China.
After Gong Ruini’s witty banter, Gong Jiaxin felt less cautious around these people she once thought of as lofty.
"Indeed, we don’t rely on them, but running a round feels comfortable." Even though she felt sticky and uncomfortable, Gong Jiaxin wanted to hurry home to shower.
Running makes you feel a bit more comfortable, but not so much. The good effect is because of the juice from the space, of course, it works well.
Sadly, such a good opportunity to be thankful can’t be mentioned.
"I’ll continue running tomorrow, I need exercise. I thought exercising in the gym was good, but it’s better to run by the lake." The air is better, and there won’t be so many people staring.
Exercise again, doesn’t that mean you want juice prepared for you, Gong Ruini was tough. In hindsight, she shouldn’t have been soft-hearted seeing someone’s pitiful look, and prepared juice for her.
"By the way, Ni Zi, let’s go to Disney together." Gong Jiaxin woke up with a bit of regret for her impulsive behavior yesterday.
After running, she truly regretted it; in the second summer in the United States, she couldn’t go nowhere.
Ah, going out with them, isn’t this person super busy? Gong Ruini personally heard Gong Jiaxin say she would be busy and wouldn’t have time to go to Disney with Gong Ruini and the others.
How come now she’s done her homework, even changed the room booking, how come Gong Jiaxin also wants to go, could it be interns have paid vacation?
"I’m actually not that busy; many times I just do odd jobs." Even though they learn design, how would skilled people reveal these analyses.
Whether Gong Jiaxin stays at their company or not, just being an intern from that school already shows good basics, so of course, she gets all kinds of tasks she can manage.
Gong Ruini had interned in her past life, but it wasn’t this bad. How come it’s this bad now, is it just because they’re Chinese?
Ah, hearing what Gong Jiaxin did at the company truly shocked her.
"Why do you work like this?" Gong Ruini wasn’t completely familiar with this design company but knew it shouldn’t be this shameless.
But Gong Jiaxin didn’t need to lie, "Can you learn anything from it?"
Gong Jiaxin felt it would be too blunt, so she talked subtly, even though they wouldn’t understand, it was truly frustrating.
"You can learn a little, but not much; a lot are things I learned in school." Gong Jiaxin didn’t want to admit that this summer internship was a mistake.
"Ni Zi, you know, I originally went to another company for internship, but then it changed."
Though Gong Jiaxin spoke calmly, her suppressed expression showed Gong Ruini that she must be quite heartbroken.
"That company’s scale is smaller than this one, but I could learn something. Unfortunately, I didn’t have connections in this field, and found out a little late."
Gong Jiaxin was helpless; teachers can recommend one or two, which was good enough, the rest she really couldn’t demand.
So they snatched the opportunity, Gong Ruini understood.
This is why Gong Jiaxin knew about this chance and didn’t want to give it up.
"Can’t learn much, yet they say you’ve improved greatly. Isn’t binding you what’s going on?"
"If after signing with them, they don’t give you any chances and ask for a hefty penalty when you leave, what would you do?"
Worse still, if someone’s sabotaging from behind, unwilling to see Gong Jiaxin succeed, what would you do?
Even if Gong Ruini has the skills to help Gong Jiaxin resolve contract troubles, if such losses can be avoided, why continue?
Signing and not giving chances, this suspicion made Gong Jiaxin gasp, ah, how did she forget this? Though some might criticize such contracts as unreasonable.
Apart from such insignificant talk, there’s no substantive help.
"Almost trapped by them." Gong Jiaxin wasn’t foolish.
"Actually, the people who interned with me don’t work that much." Gong Jiaxin muttered.
Typical bullying, Gong Ruini would be lying if she said she wasn’t angry, but besides comforting Gong Jiaxin to study well, what could she do?
There really wasn’t any way to strike back. If this matter became big, would anyone stand by Gong Jiaxin?
Even those would-be justice warriors would stay silent.
