Chapter 403: Chapter 392: Qiao Jing, go pour me a glass of water
After hearing Qiao Jing’s words, Zhan Nanqing took a sip of coffee, furrowing her brows tightly, her expression extremely serious.
It was quite a while before she spoke.
“If I really am that barbaric and overbearing, should I change it?”
Qiao Jing looked up at Zhan Nanqing and shook her head.
“There’s no need to change.”
She felt that Zhan Nanqing’s personality was actually within an acceptable range.
Furthermore, Zhan Nanqing had the capital to let her personality be a bit more barbaric and overbearing.
Zhan Nanqing couldn’t understand Qiao Jing’s words, her brow so tightly knitted it seemed as though it could kill a fly, and she was determined to get to the bottom of it.
“Didn’t you say that I was too barbaric and overbearing? Why do you say there’s no need to change it now? Being barbaric and overbearing isn’t a compliment.”
A smile appeared in Qiao Jing’s phoenix eyes as she began explaining to Zhan Nanqing.
“Your family background is strong enough, you are the daughter of the Zhan Family, it’s normal if your personality is a bit spoiled; there’s no need to forcibly change it.”
She could guess what Zhan Nanqing’s life at the Zhan Family was like, with the whole family doting on the only daughter, they would surely spoil her to death.
Thankfully, Zhan Nanqing’s personality hadn’t been shaped as exaggeratedly as Zeng Xiangyang’s.
That kid’s personality was just too outrageous, the family’s indulgence led him to lose direction.
If Zeng Xiangyang could score the grades she requested, she could also take the opportunity while teaching him to buy tickets and take him to see the esports stage.
Zhan Nanqing put down her coffee and turned to face Qiao Jing.
“The way I hear it, it doesn’t sound like you’re praising me. It sounds like you’re saying I naturally have a bad personality?”
Qiao Jing’s eyebrows lifted slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her face as she walked towards the lab, saying.
“It depends on how you understand it. Let’s get back to work.”
Zhan Nanqing hesitated for a moment and glanced in the direction of the meeting room.
“Okay.”
Although she wanted to sit there, waiting until Gao Lihong came out to inquire about the interview result before returning,
she didn’t want to delay the progress of her work, so she got up and followed behind Qiao Jing.
Just as they were about to reach Qiao Jing’s private lab, Zhan Nanqing suddenly remembered the cup of coffee she had poured earlier hadn’t been finished.
She had only had one sip!!!
She looked at Qiao Jing’s empty hands and spoke.
“Qiao Jing, I forgot to take my coffee with me, I need to go back and get it. Oh, and what about your documents?”
Qiao Jing didn’t stop her steps, intending to let Zhan Nanqing go back to the lobby on her own.
“I have a copy of that document in my lab.”
She had put it in her private cabinet, and the staff at the institute wouldn’t touch her things.
The important thing was she didn’t want to waste time going back to fetch them.
Zhan Nanqing’s eyes darted around, recalling the sight of Qiao Jing writing on that document in the lobby earlier.
“Did you write something on that document just now?”
Qiao Jing paused in her steps and turned around.
“I wrote some notes. Why?”
Zhan Nanqing’s eyes brightened.
“It would be such a waste to leave notes behind that you don’t need. Why don’t we go back and get it together? Your cabinet has a fingerprint lock, and I can’t open it.”
Actually, she was eager to see if she could run into Gao Lihong to learn about the interview outcome.
She wanted Qiao Jing to come with her because if Gao Lihong failed the interview, her sister-in-law could see the other person’s reaction immediately.
Once Qiao Jing arrived, she would surely infuriate Gao Lihong, considering her sister-in-law held a position at the institute while Gao Lihong couldn’t even pass the interview.

But if Gao Lihong did pass the interview, that wouldn’t be an issue either. It would be best for her to avoid provoking Qiao Jing.
Her sister-in-law didn’t want to bother, but she could!
Qiao Jing thought it over for a moment and agreed, walking towards the hall with Zhan Nanqing.
She had indeed taken many notes in that material; she was going to need it for work later, and having the notes would be more convenient.
When the two returned to the hall, they immediately spotted Gao Lihong sitting on the sofa, legs crossed arrogantly.
Gao Lihong’s face was filled with a smug expression, yet her brows were tightly knitted, looking around.
She couldn’t believe she hadn’t seen Qiao Jing when she came out?
Qiao Jing must have been afraid of finding out she had passed the interview and then ran off, right?
Out of the corner of her eye, Gao Lihong suddenly caught a glimpse of Qiao Jing’s figure, and her tightly furrowed brow slowly relaxed, her chin lifted.
Qiao Jing’s timing was perfect!
She had planned to wait for Qiao Jing here after work and tell her about the successful interview if Qiao Jing didn’t show up today.
Qiao Jing withdrew her gaze from Gao Lihong and walked directly to her locker with Zhan Nanqing in tow.
She didn’t have time to waste words with others anymore; she had to complete a small milestone today.
Seeing Gao Lihong’s smug look, Zhan Nanqing’s face immediately darkened.
It seemed Gao Lihong had passed the interview—she wouldn’t be swaggering around otherwise.
But so what if she had?
Wasn’t she still going to work for her sister-in-law?
Zhan Nanqing rolled her eyes at Gao Lihong and joined Qiao Jing on the couch they had just sat on.
The ignored Gao Lihong clenched her teeth, stood up from the sofa, and walked towards Qiao Jing.
By this time, Qiao Jing had already taken out the material and locked the locker.
Zhan Nanqing was sipping her remaining coffee, getting ready to accompany Qiao Jing back.
They were intercepted by Gao Lihong on their way out.
Qiao Jing gave Gao Lihong an emotionless look and brushed past her.
Gao Lihong, irked by Qiao Jing’s indifferent expression just now, clenched her fists tighter.
She knew it—Qiao Jing was still the same, always acting aloof!
That gaze just now inexplicably made her feel like an ant while Qiao Jing was someone high above.
How could she tolerate this?!
This time, she had come in first place in the interview!
What right did Qiao Jing have to look at her with that gaze just now?!
The more Gao Lihong thought about it, the angrier she became, and she quickly caught up to Qiao Jing again, blocking their way to brag intentionally.
“Qiao Jing, we’ll be colleagues from now on. I ranked first in the interview,” she said, pausing slightly, her tone mocking.
“What rank did you get when you entered the institute?”
Qiao Jing’s lips twitched almost imperceptibly, somewhat speechless.
She hadn’t needed to interview to get into the research institute; without her, there wouldn’t even be an institute.
Like before, she didn’t speak, unwilling to engage with Gao Lihong.
Seeing Qiao Jing choose silence, Gao Lihong’s smile grew even more contemptuous.
Qiao Jing’s silence surely meant that she had no rank back then or had just scraped in last place.
Gao Lihong knew it—people like Qiao Jing could only worm their way in; they had no real skill.
All her years of hard work hadn’t been in vain. She had snagged the top spot while Qiao Jing was merely the bottom of the pile.
Thinking this, she glanced at the glass of plain water on the table and started ordering Qiao Jing around.
“My water has gotten a bit cold, go pour me a glass,” she said.
