Luo Yan smiled and said, "Da Bao, shake your head!"

Duan Jiabao asked in confusion, "What?"

Luo Yan said, "Let's try shaking it."

Duan Jiabao, not understanding, shook his head.

Luo Yan suppressed a laugh and asked, "Can you hear the sound of the sea?"

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Xiaoguo leaned close to her ear and chuckled, "It's all water!"

Hearing Jiang Xiaoguo say that, Duan Jiabao finally realized what was going on: "You guys are all slackers! I studied hard for a whole year in my senior year of high school just like you guys to get in, and I didn't neglect any of the subjects, including humanities, history, math, physics, and chemistry."

After a few playful moments, they arrived at the dormitory entrance. Luo Yan ran to open the door, while Jiang Xiaoguo and Duan Jiabao walked behind, hand in hand.

Suddenly, Luo Yan exclaimed, "Liang Shuang!"

Jiang Xiaoguo and Duan Jiabao looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Stone, who are you trying to scare? Didn't I already say she's not coming back?"

Jiang Xiaoguo and Duan Jiabao walked towards the dormitory with smiles on their faces. When they got behind Luo Yan and saw the familiar figure in the dormitory, they were surprised.

"Liang Shuang!"

"Liang Shuang!"

"Why are you back?"

Liang Shuang raised her chin slightly, looking arrogant, and said, "What's wrong? Can't I come back?"

The three nodded quickly: "Yes, yes!"

Then her gaze shifted downwards, and she saw that the things that had been piled on Liang Shuang's bed had now all been thrown on the floor.

Jiang Xiaoguo: "Oh my god, my book!"

Luo Yan: "Oh my, my limited edition Happy Magic Machine!"

Duan Jiabao: "Waaah, my Zilu!"

The three of them rushed over to pick up their belongings. Luo Yan, holding her smashed game console, said angrily, "You came back, and then you threw all our things on the ground?"

Liang Shuang arrogantly raised her chin and said, "Who gave you permission to put your things on my bed?"

The three looked at each other, speechless.

Liang Shuang glanced at Jiang Xiaoguo, Luo Yan, and Duan Jiabao, then waved her hand and said, "Alright, it's 10:30. I'm not talking to you anymore. Turn off the lights, I'm going to sleep!"

Faced with the sharp-tongued and domineering Liang Shuang, the three dared not speak out for a time under her intimidation. This was because Liang Shuang required that there be no light or sound when she slept; it had to be a completely dark and quiet environment, and she had to be in bed by 10:30 every night.

The three of them didn't even have time to pack their things, so they could only look at each other and reluctantly turn off the lights to go to sleep.

The next day, Liang Shuang got up early, washed up, and went to make a phone call outside the dormitory. Hearing her leaving the dormitory, Jiang Xiaoguo and the other two immediately crawled out of bed and hurriedly got up.

Looking at the things scattered all over the ground, Luo Yan said with heartache, "What's wrong with Liang Shuang? She didn't even say a word before throwing all our things on the ground!"

Duan Jiabao was tidying up her celebrity posters. Seeing the wrinkles and stains on them, she couldn't help but complain, "Yeah, why did she suddenly come back?"

Jiang Xiaoguo sighed, and while tidying up her books, she comforted her, "Oh well, we really did take her spot. She suddenly came back and had nowhere to sleep, so she had to use our things!"

Luo Yan said indignantly, "It's fine to move things, but at least you should have notified us, or put these things on our table! Instead, she just threw them on the ground!"

Duan Jiabao chimed in, "That's right, she had already moved out, so why did she suddenly come back? She doesn't need to retake the exam, so why doesn't she live in her own rented luxury apartment in Overseas Chinese Town? Why is she going back to the dormitory?"

Luo Yan said, "If you ask me, this grudge was probably caused by that golf ball! Just imagine, he was happily playing King of Glory in his room! At 10:29, just as he was about to win, his girlfriend asked him to turn off the lights and turn off her phone screen. Who could stand that? Anyone would have jumped up and thrown her luggage out!"

Duan Jiabao said, "That makes sense! No wonder she's back now."

Just then, the dormitory door suddenly burst open, and Liang Shuang walked in, saying loudly and rudely, "What are you saying behind my back? Why aren't you saying anything now? This is my dormitory, why can't I come back?"

Liang Shuang's sudden return startled everyone. The usually fierce but weak-willed Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan immediately shut up, while Jiang Xiaoguo, sandwiched between them, chuckled awkwardly, "No, nothing. Actually... it's not that we didn't want you to come back; of course we welcome you back. It's just that we're a little curious why you suddenly came back?"

"I want you to take care of it?"

Liang Shuang rolled her eyes at Jiang Xiaoguo, then walked to her desk and sat down, taking out her phone from her pocket: "If you really welcome me, then hurry up and tell me the dorm's WiFi password!"

Upon hearing Liang Shuang's words, Duan Jiabao, who looked nervous, blurted out, "Our room's Wi-Fi password is... hopefully..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Xiaoguo covered her mouth, glared at her, and winked at Luo Yan sitting next to her, saying, "We'll think about the WiFi password later."

"Oh, Da Bao, didn't you say you had a package to pick up? Let's go get it first, and you'll probably remember when we get back."

She quickly pulled the two of them out of the dormitory, and Liang Shuang pouted: "You stingy people."

......

As time passed, Liang Shuang stayed in the dormitory for a few days, and everyone gradually got used to it.

That morning, as usual, Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan slept in, while Liang Shuang and Jiang Xiaoguo got up early. Liang Shuang went to the gym, and Jiang Xiaoguo went to work at the financial center.

Having interned in the financial sector for so long, Jiang Xiaoguo has performed well in all aspects, both in terms of ability and her relationship with her direct supervisor. It seems that her promotion to a permanent position is a sure thing.

However, on this day, she brewed ginger tea as usual and was about to serve it to her direct supervisor, Sister Yi, when she suddenly noticed that her colleagues around her were whispering among themselves.

"Why is Sister Yi doing this so suddenly?"

"Yeah, I heard she's got another job!"

"really?"

Jiang Xiaoguo was puzzled, but then she found out what had happened.

"Alright, no need to see me off!"

Sister Yi walked out of the office with a big smile, carrying a cardboard box.

I saw Jiang Xiaoguo standing there with a cup of ginger tea in her hand, looking completely dazed.

She smiled, stepped forward and hugged Jiang Xiaoguo, saying, "Do your best, goodbye!"

Sister Yi is really leaving. Her boss, whom she had been trying to please for almost half a year, is gone. Jiang Xiaoguo's mind is in a mess. What about getting a permanent position? Will she still be able to get one smoothly?

What used to be a sure thing is now difficult.

Jiang Xiaoguo remained silent, unsure how to react. In the end, she carried the ginger tea and followed Sister Yi until she got on the elevator. Only then did she reluctantly say goodbye, "Goodbye, Sister Yi!"

"Xiao Guo, no need to see me off. See you again someday!"

As the elevator doors closed, just as Jiang Xiaoguo was feeling extremely depressed and preparing to reflect on her past actions, the elevator doors next to her opened, and a man and a woman stepped out.

"Manager Guo, this way please!"

Upon hearing the name "Manager Guo," Jiang Xiaoguo immediately looked over. This unfamiliar middle-aged man was the manager? Sister Yi was gone; was he replacing her?

Jiang Xiaoguo stood there, looking over curiously. The HR person smiled and introduced, "Xiaoguo, this is your new supervisor, Guo!"

Jiang Xiaoguo, quick-witted as ever, guessed correctly: Sister Yi was gone, and a new supervisor, Guo, had arrived, who was also her direct superior. All the effort she had put into getting Sister Yi was wasted. Whether she could be promoted smoothly depended on the current supervisor, Guo.

In a flash, Jiang Xiaoguo smiled and immediately brought over the ginger tea she had originally prepared for Sister Yi, saying:

"Hello, Manager Guo! Would you like some ginger tea?"

Manager Guo shook his head: "No, thank you, I don't like ginger!"

However, he was in a good mood because he had just started the job and the other party was being so enthusiastic. He smiled and asked, "What's your name?"

"ginger......"

Jiang Xiaoguo was quick-witted; she stopped halfway through her sentence, remembering that Manager Guo didn't like her, and immediately changed her words:

"Xiao Guo, you can just call me Xiao Guo!"

"it is good!"

However, after two days, Jiang Xiaoguo suddenly felt that this Manager Guo was too slippery and didn't give her any chance to flatter him. Several times she almost ended up making a fool of herself.

This left Jiang Xiaoguo, who was eager to get a permanent position, extremely frustrated and anxious.

In the evening, at the dormitory, after a day's work.

Jiang Xiaoguo stretched, getting angrier and angrier as she thought about it. Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration, and she wondered if she had suddenly understood or just realized something.

"I've figured it out. Relying on mountains will lead to their collapse, relying on rivers will lead to their flow, and relying on others is not as good as relying on yourself. Instead of using the time to flatter and please others, it's better to do your own job well."

Seeing Luo Yan and Duan Jiabao looking over, Jiang Xiaoguo said earnestly, "I've made up my mind. From now on, I will focus on my work and will no longer be busy aimlessly like before. I will put all my energy into improving my professional skills."

Luo Yan smiled and asked, "So, what are your plans and intentions?"

Jiang Xiaoguo waved her hand and declared boldly, "I'm going to make a blockbuster!"

Duan Jiabao said, "Didn't you say just a couple of days ago that you were about to be promoted and wanted to get along well with your supervisor? Why are you thinking about creating a hit product now?"

Jiang Xiaoguo chuckled a few times and said, "That path won't work! We can only perform well and prove ourselves with our work abilities."

"Moreover, when it comes to currying favor with Manager Guo, nothing beats a viral article!"

Seeing that the two agreed with her opinion, Jiang Xiaoguo was in a good mood. She turned to Luo Yan, who was playing games, and asked, "Shi Tou, give me some advice. Do you have any good ideas to make a viral article?"

Luo Yan thought for a moment and said, "I don't know how to make a hit game, but based on my understanding of games, let me give you an example. Any game that wants to attract people must have three elements: money, violence, and love!"

"If you do these three things well, your grades won't be too bad. I think it's probably the same for journalism. You can take a look."

Luo Yan's words sparked a lot of interest in Jiang Xiaoguo. "Money, love, violence" did sound plausible and were quite appealing.

Jiang Xiaoguo even started thinking about whether she could write a viral article about love. However, simple love didn't fit the magazine's positioning; it had to incorporate a certain financial element.
