I have big problems with my superpowers and my relationship

But from the current situation, it is obvious that she took the initiative to ask Huang Hao out...

"It's fine."

Shaking her head, Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Brother, I don't know what you like to drink, so I ordered you a latte, is that okay?"

"Oh sure."

Huang Hao picked up the coffee and took a sip, his tone a little cold, and it was unclear if it was because of what happened before.

Putting down the coffee cup and looking at Zhou Yan, he said calmly:

"There's still half an hour left for lunch break, so hurry up and tell me what you want to say."

"I......"

Zhou Yan's expression froze for a moment. After a moment, she quickly shook her head and whispered, "It's nothing, actually. I just feel that I haven't expressed my gratitude to my senior brother since I came to Xingyue..."

"Okay, you want to ask about becoming a regular employee, right?"

Huang Hao sneered and interrupted, "Junior sister, I understand your feelings, but the chances of interns becoming full-time employees are very rare. Moreover, many of the recent batches of interns have excellent academic qualifications, abilities, and backgrounds. Compared to them, you really have no advantage."

"Don't blame me for being blunt. If you want to stay in Xingyue, then you should try the recruitment process. The company has a certain preference for interns, so there may still be hope."

"Brother, but I heard that if the interns can achieve results..."

Zhou Yan was very clear about Xingyue’s open recruitment requirements. She knew she would have no chance if she went through recruitment, so she looked a little anxious.

But before she could finish, Huang Hao interrupted her again with a look of disdain:

“Then can you achieve results?”

"You are in the business development department, right? Forget about performance. You have been here for a week. Have you come into contact with any business now?"

“No, no…”

"So why do you think you have a chance? Look at your colleagues around you, how many of them have undergraduate degrees?"

Huang Hao looked at her meaningfully and said, "Junior sister, in today's society, if you don't have a background and want to make a name for yourself, hard work alone is not enough."

"I should be able to be promoted to assistant supervisor next month. Although I'm in the administration department, I can have a say with the human resources department."

"Okay, that's all I have to say. You can think about the rest yourself."

Shaking his head, Huang Hao looked calm, and finally took one last look at Zhou Yan before preparing to leave.

There is no doubt that his meaning has been expressed very clearly. As long as the girl is not as naive as Lu Shuyu, she should be able to understand it.

From this perspective, he can be considered to be "open and honest" this time.

Of course, it is also possible that they want to get it for free.

After all, even if he is really promoted next month, as an "assistant supervisor" at the same K7 level as Wei Changsong, he is not really a leader, and it is still doubtful whether he can help Zhou Yan become a regular employee.

As for Zhou Yan's reaction to this...

"Brother Huang, I won't do that."

Huang Hao had just stood up and hadn't taken a step when a voice that was not loud but very serious came from behind him.

"Maybe you are right. I really hope to stay in Xingyue, but I have my bottom line."

"I'm not who you think I am."

"..."

Huang Hao frowned and glanced at Zhou Yan. He almost said the words "both a prestige and a liability".

He has been in the big melting pot of Xingyue for so many years and has seen all kinds of people. Now he naturally sees Zhou Yan's "essence".

There is a bottom line, but it is by no means simple.

To use a metaphor that may not be very appropriate, it's like those green tea lovers who keep a spare tire.

She just wants to enjoy the benefits provided by men, but is never willing to pay too much for it.

Unless this man can really conquer her.

Shaking his head with a sneer, Huang Hao knew that he could not conquer Zhou Yan, and he had no interest in conquering her, so he turned around and left without saying another word.

Zhou Yan silently looked at his back, her hands clenched lightly under the table, and then loosened little by little.

Turning her head to look at the pedestrians coming and going outside the floor-to-ceiling window, she began to doubt herself for the first time.

Of course Zhou Yan knew what kind of person she was.

Before this, she never thought that there was anything wrong with what she did, otherwise she would not have made the appointment to meet Huang Hao today.

But now...

If what you want is to live a better life through your own efforts, then what does it matter if you use men...

Sitting alone by the window, as time passed, there were fewer and fewer customers in Starbucks, and the footsteps of pedestrians outside the window became more hurried.

Zhou Yan thought about it for a long time, and suddenly felt relieved at some point.

Why should we rack our brains and try every possible means to pursue a goal that is beyond our ability?

In fact, just do your best in many things.

If you try your best but still cannot get it, it means that such thing does not belong to you in the first place.

This is true for work and love...

"Ok?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Yan suddenly thought of Lu Chen.

Lu Chen was able to enter Xingyue thanks to Lu Shuyu, but he seemed to be very content with it.

His results are clearly far behind mine!

Well, it seems that Lu Chen has more potential to be a gigolo than me!

Standing up, a smile appeared on Zhou Yan's face, and the depression in her heart disappeared at this moment.

Of course, she would not forbid Lu Chen from living off others just because she had decided not to do so, nor did she think there was anything wrong with Lu Chen's character.

So what I just said was just a few jokes.

Walking out of Starbucks with brisk steps and no longer having such a strong obsession with "staying in Xingyue", Zhou Yan felt as if she was inexplicably much more relaxed, and the sunshine seemed to be brighter.

If I were to use a more "literary" word to describe her current state, it would probably be -

She didn't hate her past self, but she also wanted to try a new life.

However, perhaps even Zhou Yan herself did not realize that in front of someone, she actually subconsciously wanted to hide her shortcomings.

After all, if one wants to stay in Xingyue, asking Lu Chen for help is obviously much more reliable than asking Huang Hao for help.

What's more, she still had some leverage over Lu Chen, so she wasn't afraid of the latter's rejection.

The reason why he didn't do so was probably because he didn't want Lu Chen to feel "shameful".

......

Ten minutes later, in the business development department office area.

In the last minute before the lunch break, Zhou Yan jogged all the way and sat down at the computer, panting.

Looking up at the four empty workstations at the other end of the office area, she smiled, then looked away and carefully sorted out some information that required no technical skills but was very time-consuming and laborious.

If you can’t get involved in the business, then don’t get involved. If you can’t stay, then don’t stay. It’s no big deal.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yan no longer felt the worries and anxieties she had before, and even planned to go to a movie to relax after get off work.

While she was "lying down", in the large office on the top floor, Hu Shuo was holding her resume and frowning in thought.

"Mr. Hu, that's basically it."

Next to him, Assistant Sun gently closed the folder and said, "Since we have less time, the information we found may not be accurate, but the situation should not be too different."

"Well, so this girl is still quite important."

Hu Shuo nodded and quickly made a decision.

"Call Lao Zhang and the leader of her group."

"No matter what happens with Cheng Bei, let's do him this favor first."

Chapter 103 You saved a mother!

"almost!"

On the other side, Green Vine Bio's headquarters.

Just when Hu Shuo was about to take advantage of Lu Chen's unpreparedness and try to "strike first" to do him a favor, Wei Changsong also waved his hand heroically and shouted:

"set off!"

"..."

If they were filming a movie, the four doors should open at the same time, and then four people wearing sunglasses should get out of the car in unison, close the doors in a cool manner, and stride towards the camera in a straight line.

But the reality is...

"Oh~ I'm so sleepy~~~"

"Wait, I forgot to take my computer."

"Hmm? Where are my shoes?"

"Sister Lili, can you please not take off your shoes in a confined space in the future? I feel like my clothes have a weird smell..."

"Don't talk nonsense! My feet don't stink at all!"

"..."

What a mess these are!

Standing by the car, looking at the three people who were sleepy and not at all serious, Wei Changsong looked like he had lost all hope in life.

Fortunately, after entering the office building, Lu Chen and the other two became much more serious and displayed the demeanor expected of employees of a large advertising company.

"Hello, we are from the marketing department of Xingyue Media, and we have an appointment to meet with Mr. Cheng."

"Ah, this way please..."
