The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy

Chapter 725 - 713

"Which internship unit did you find?" Qiao Qiqi asked again.

"I sent my resume to... Third Young Master Rong’s company, but I haven’t received a reply yet. I think maybe they look down on my educational background. I’m just an undergraduate, while master’s and PhDs are everywhere now." Qiao Xi said somewhat dispiritedly.

"Oh, it’s my Third Brother’s company. No problem, I’ll talk to him then and let you go for the internship," Qiao Qiqi said with a smile.

"Really!" Qiao Xi’s eyes immediately brightened up, looking especially radiant.

"Do you like my Third Brother?"

"I... I really admire him. He’s my idol, how could I be qualified to like someone as outstanding as Third Young Master Rong?"

"Don’t say that... his taste in girlfriends isn’t great."

Qiao Xi, "?"

"Haha, don’t worry, I’ll talk to my Third Brother about you. Just wait for the internship."

"What are you two laughing about? It’s your grandmother who’s died, and you can still laugh. How did our family produce white-eyed wolves like you?" Qiao Dalin pointed at the two girls, attacking them.

Qiao Xi was startled, nervously stepped back two steps to see.

"Come on, Aunt, I haven’t seen you shed a tear either. Before you blame others, can you check your own eyes!" Qiao Qiqi was really speechless and just turned around to leave.

Qiao Xiaoling quickly made eye signals to her daughter when she saw that, thinking it’s better to leave since staying here won’t benefit anyone and is too exhausting. If she walks away with Qiqi, she can at least rest a bit.

Qiao Dalin was quite angry and went to complain to her brother, but Qiao Yaozu didn’t even pay her any attention.

He knew how much grievance his daughter suffered from Old Mrs. Qiao. If he couldn’t cry, of course.

Qiao Xiaoling didn’t care at all and continued crying her own tears.

...

Though Qiao Xi is somewhat dull, she isn’t stupid, so for several days, she stuck with Qiao Qiqi until Old Mrs. Qiao’s funeral ended.

Looking at Old Mrs. Qiao being buried in the cemetery, Qiao Qiqi wished she could dig her out and throw her into the hills!

For the sake of her father, she decided to let this old lady go.

Once someone dies, grievances are wiped clean.

Quite a few people from the Qiao Family came as well; uncles, aunts, it’s uncountable.

Qiao Yaozu kept them well-fed and entertained, and there were quite a few who wanted to send their kids over, hoping to get them into the Qiao Family’s company.

Qiao Jiezhe, Qiao Qiqi, Qiao Xi, and Rong Che stood by the second-floor railing, shaking their heads as they observed. It was obvious these people weren’t educated, probably hadn’t even finished high school, and yet wanted to be managers in the company.

Really didn’t know whether to say these people are too simple or too stupid.

But all four had an attitude of indifference, just waiting to see how Qiao Yaozu would handle it.

Who knew, Qiao Yaozu accepted them all without question.

The four young people, "..."

With these people really being brought into the company by Dad, who knows what kind of trouble would ensue.

Qiao Qiqi really felt a bit helpless; Dad was good in every way but too soft-hearted.

Then, the elders of the Qiao Family brought up the need to repair the ancestral shrine back in the old home, saying that young people nowadays shouldn’t forget their roots and should always remember their ancestors.

Qiao Yaozu laughed and agreed, saying he would donate a sum of money to repair the ancestral shrine.

...

After much difficulty, they finally sent away all the Qiao Family members, but the young ones who wanted to stay and work didn’t leave; they were kept here.

Among them, some were relatively honest and decent, but there were also those with roguish looks, improper behavior whether sitting or standing — clearly idle and loitering types.

Before dinner, Qiao Qiqi heard her Brother’s yelling, seemingly having a conflict with someone.
