And who in the class couldn't find an internship on their own in the first year of high school... cough cough, no names were mentioned, but it's practically the same as naming names.

Ms. Iori walked in, and the classroom quieted down. She said happily:

"I just received a letter of praise for the interns in my email. I hope everyone will try their best to leave a good impression on their internship companies when they go for their internships in the future!"

Chapter 29 I'd better become a stockings salesman.

Letter of commendation?

This puzzled many students in the class. In the past, some students would intern at well-known companies or firms and receive letters of praise.

Furthermore, it's usually privately-run firms that issue letters of commendation. The reason is... as long as they show concern, that's enough. Top companies really don't lack high school graduates to do menial jobs. If you don't have connections with managers or other influential figures in your family, you generally won't be able to get a letter of commendation.

In any case, letters of commendation are hard to come by, and it shouldn't be the time to get one.

Because none of us have even started our internships yet, what's there to praise?

Someone chuckled, "Ms. Iori, could it be that someone got the date wrong and had a commendation letter written and sent over in advance?"

"Although, this is just too embarrassing, pfft!"

The snickers were contagious, and soon a chorus of laughter followed.

The female teacher, dressed in flesh-colored stockings and a school uniform, was somewhat displeased with these sour and malicious speculations. She frowned, her pretty face serious, and slapped the table.

"Calm down, I understand your doubts. It's true that there hasn't been a formal internship yet, but Chu Yinan went to the procuratorate for a trial internship a couple of days ago. In just two days, she has already helped the prosecutors there a lot in solving cases!"

Risa Iori turned her back and walked to the podium, turning on the projection equipment. Her shapely buttocks beneath her pencil skirt exuded the unique charm of a teacher. She was one of the most popular female teachers at Fengshui High School. While adhering to the dress code for teachers, she also tried her best to dress fashionably and attractively. Her bust was just the right size—not too large, but not too small either—and many boys liked her.

Unfortunately, she's already taken.

After a simple operation, the female teacher displayed the letter bearing the prosecutor's office logo on the projector screen and tapped the boy who had been laughing the loudest earlier.

"Yang Kun, read this letter aloud once."

The boy who was called was extremely embarrassed, but he could only stand up and read the electronic message projected on the screen, saying resentfully:

"I am Shibuya Yoshi, a prosecutor from the Second Division of the Fengshui Public Prosecutor's Office. Chu Yinan, a second-year student from your school, made a great contribution to solving the privacy rights case related to the author of 'Snow,' during his three-day internship at the Public Prosecutor's Office. He also provided clues for the subsequent pursuit of the suspect's accomplices. I hereby commend him."

As Yang Kun read on, he read slower and slower because he could hardly believe it was real. It was indeed a letter from the Procuratorate, and it had the unique anti-counterfeiting marks of a public agency. No one would dare to forge it!

The letter also included a picture of the prosecutor's work ID, complete with her employee number. Crucially, the female prosecutor was very attractive; even the most unflattering official ID photo couldn't hide her striking features.

"I heard that it's the hardest place to get a letter of commendation in public service, right? Because the letters of commendation have to be approved and then published on the procuratorate's website." Despite her astonishment, she still harbored a strong sense of skepticism.

It is extremely rare for a high school student to receive a letter of commendation from a public authority. It is equivalent to being recognized as a hero for assisting in a case, which is a level higher than a letter of commendation from a famous company!

Yang Kun, driven by a strong desire for verification, or rather, a desire to deliver solid evidence against Chu Yinan, immediately took out his phone after sitting down and logged onto the prosecutor's office website, his feelings even more complicated:

"It's actually been posted on the official website..."

"You've only been there two days and you've already made a difference?! How did you do that?!"

Some people have a more realistic but also somewhat skewed focus: "Is this female prosecutor real or fake? Even her ID photo is so beautiful."

There's no need to question the authenticity of the letter of commendation anymore. Even Iori Risa finds it unbelievable, but it is indeed the evaluation given by the prosecutor's office, and no matter how surprised one is, one cannot deny the fact that it has already happened.

Soon, the students' attention shifted to a piece of information briefly mentioned in the letter—a privacy case concerning the author of "Snow"?!

"This author of 'Snow' shouldn't be someone else with the same name, right? She's actually the author of that book 'Snow'! Has Chu Yinan met her in person?" The girl sitting next to Chu Yinan turned around and asked.

Hmm, it seems Yu Tang's identity has indeed been preserved. Has news of the book signing event not spread yet...? Chu Yinan nodded subtly.

"Yes, I have seen her. I went to her autograph session yesterday."

"Oh, actually I wanted to go yesterday too, but I couldn't get permission to leave! Will I really be able to meet 'Snow' in person? Even my mom reads her books!"

“I saw discussions on some forums and websites, mentioning that there was chaos at the autograph session that day, and there must have been a lot of secretly filmed videos, but they haven’t been released yet. Those gossip headlines don’t even have pictures, just dry text descriptions.”

"Then they must have applied for AI information protection, right?"

The more mysterious public figures are about their whereabouts and identities, the more likely they are to spark discussion and fans' enthusiasm for exploration. Bei Yutang is probably in this delicate situation. The more she tries to hide her identity, the more discussions there are about her.

Chu Yinan hadn't expected that even her school would be invaded by her fans. He thought that if her excessive behavior towards her younger brother at home were exposed, her public image would collapse!

However, this is quite strange. Although Bei Yutang is in the same school, these book fans are completely unaware of it.

The discussion gradually subsided under Ms. Iori's "death stare." She was a teacher who controlled the classroom atmosphere very well, unlike a new teacher who would be at a loss when dealing with mischievous students.

"Alright, if you want to ask for advice, humbly ask Chu Yinan after class. The questionnaire will be distributed around the third period. Everyone should confirm their internship unit. If you haven't found one, it will be considered as a school adjustment. We need to collect them tomorrow. There will be a physical examination this afternoon. Our class will be the first one. Remember not to be late for lunch break."

After explaining the situation, Ms. Iori went over the internship guidelines again as required by the school, and then left the remaining half of the class for the main subject teacher to use.

"Oh, right, I forgot to mention earlier that this year's internship is a bit different. To let you experience the hardships of working life earlier, the Fengshui Island Education Department will also be holding a job fair this year. The recruitment tents should be being set up over at the auditorium. You can go and try it this afternoon."

......

After receiving the questionnaire, Chu Yinan didn't know what to fill in.

I already have trial experience at the prosecutor's office, so going there should be fine. It's not too busy, and the prosecutor in Shibuya is a good person. It's just that the food there isn't very good.

The police station didn't consider it, not because they didn't want me, but because I didn't want it. It had nothing to do with my strength or physique!

Anyway, I somehow got the letter of commendation, which proves my abilities to Aunt Liu and the others. I guess I'll go help Aunt Liu sell underwear and stockings after that.

This is more practical!

"The physical exam is a bit of a hassle."

He doesn't really like seeing his height data from each year.

Chapter 30: Does a wicked woman like young boys?

11:15

This is the designated lunch break and dismissal time for all schools on the artificial island. Normally, Bei Yutang wouldn't bother with his meals, but that might not be the case now. Before she came to drag him to lunch, Chu Yinan ran ahead to the dormitory to check the information.

A message came from Fu Xi, and Chu Yinan opened it without hesitation.

If you've connected with two people at the same time, they're most likely your match partners. However, because you were stuck on your previous dating task for too long, the two people you matched with later are "stuck" together. Now, when you make a call, it might have triggered a group call.

Chu Yinan couldn't quite accept Fu Xi's uncertain statement: "Wasn't this entire matching system jointly developed by you? How can you be so uncertain..."

[Because the entire matching system operates independently after it's launched, even if vulnerabilities arise, it will automatically find solutions and won't be subject to our intervention. You might as well think about how to handle these two blind dates you're currently on.]

Two...

Chu Yinan was desperate. The girl with the obedient tone was still acceptable; he figured that after explaining the situation, she would be willing to cooperate and resolve the issue as soon as possible. But the girl with the unfriendly tone...

The key point is that Chu Yinan also heard her mutter something, as if she had already been matched with a partner in the first round of matching. That means she already had a partner, and Chu Yinan, a stranger, still interfered. What's the difference between him and a troublemaker?

Chu Yinan wasn't very confident that a girl with that kind of personality would listen to his explanation properly; things might be more complicated than he imagined.

"Looks like being matched with an older sister isn't the worst thing after all; being matched with a stranger is!" After muttering to himself, he slapped his own mouth, afraid that his bad luck might come true.

What if he actually gets matched with someone from his family? He doesn't have many people he can consider "family"!

Chu Yinan typed for help: "Could you help me separate these two calls so I can call them individually? I can't make any progress with a group chat! I can't even arrange to meet up!"

Sure, but as always, you need to hurry. The changes I made for you will probably be fixed soon.

If you can fix your changes, why can't you cancel these matching targets for me? Even if I fraudulently claimed rewards before, can't I at least return the original value now?

Chu Yinan was feeling bitter, and continued typing with his head down: "There's one more thing. When we talked this morning, the girl I was matched with had already accepted the matchmaking. If they can force me to be matched with someone like this, will they actually match me with a married woman in the future?"

What are we going to do then? This old lady and her husband are deeply in love, and suddenly I have to beg her to go out to the movies and go on a date? It's absurd!

[Unable to answer... It has been revised. For the next period of time, you will be contacting a fixed person, but I cannot guarantee the specific person.]

"So that means a lottery? I like drawing cards, but I don't want to do it in a place like this!" Helpless, Chu Yinan could only secretly pray that he would draw the obedient girl.

Worried that the system might fix the backdoor Fu Xi had opened for him, Chu Yinan didn't hesitate and immediately made the call.

This time the call went through very quickly, in just five seconds. Such a polite way of answering the phone, she must be a good girl!

However, Chu Yinan, being an African, immediately deflated upon hearing the other person's voice.

"I told you not to bother me. You're only pleasing to my dad's eye, just so-so to me. It's my lunch break now, and I need to answer the phone, so don't disturb me, OK?"

—That sound came through the receiver.

These words were clearly not directed at Chu Yinan; this nasty woman was arguing with someone.

A man's questioning voice came from the phone: "The caller was from an unknown number, wasn't it? I think I saw garbled characters on the number just now. Turn on the speakerphone so I can hear it. It might be a scam call. These days, scammers are very sophisticated with their words. Be careful."

Who are you calling a liar?

However, from this simple conversation, Chu Yinan deduced that the wicked woman and that man had an unusual relationship, but a very poor one.

If I help this nasty woman now, things will probably go much more smoothly later on, with her helping me find dates and end blind dates!

Chu Yinan cleared his throat and said, "Senior, are you arguing with someone? Our department has been waiting for you to come to dinner for ages. Why haven't you arrived yet? Are you being harassed by some hooligans?"

He then adopted a tense and anxious tone and continued, "Senior, if you don't shout for help, I'll call the police right now!"

The "bad girl" was secretly taken aback. The mature voice on the phone sounded like the one who had woken her up that morning. She didn't quite understand why he was suddenly saying this, but no matter what, this was a good opportunity to get away.

"Did you hear that? This is a fellow member of my club inviting me to dinner. If you harass me again, I'll have my junior call the police!"

"That mature voice belongs to a junior student?"

"Could that voice be a female student? Your male student's voice could be a woman's if it's not a man's?" the mean woman retorted.

The man was speechless. Even just listening to the live phone call, Chu Yinan could feel his embarrassment.

A few minutes later, the mean woman seemed to have gotten rid of the man and finally had time to pay attention to Chu Yinan:

"Who are you? I shouldn't know you. How do you know I'm a senior in high school?"

"I guessed, because between 11:15 and 11:45, unless it's a government agency or a special institution, most people are students, but I didn't know you were a senior in high school."

“…I see.” The mean woman seemed to accept his explanation, then pressed on, “By the way, you’re not really some kind of scammer, are you? You called out of the blue this morning, and now you’re calling again. I just asked you who you were, but you selectively skipped over that question!”

Just hearing that aggressive tone made Chu Yinan's scalp tingle.

"My surname is Chu, and I'm a student at Fengshui High School. Have you recently received a strange mismatch message? Can we schedule a time to discuss this in person?"

"You're the other party in that weird match? It's okay, I've already uploaded the error, the AI ​​will fix it later. Let's skip meeting. Your mature old man's voice sounds suspicious and unsafe to me. I'm already annoyed by this partner matching thing. The thought of an old man annoys me. Let's just leave it at that!"

Sensing that the other party was about to hang up, Chu Yinan almost shouted in a hoarse voice, "Wait! I look harmless, not old at all! I'm very young, this voice has been fine-tuned by the system!"

"To be honest, I find it annoying to see boys with beards during puberty. If you say you're not old, send me a picture."

Ha! Looking younger? Who can look younger than me, Chu?
