Chapter 1085: Chapter 1086: Opportunities in the Future

Zhao Yong’s implication was clear to everyone; arranging a job like that wasn’t without reason. If Zhao Yong’s father helped Qi Lanqin get a job, it was definitely because he wanted Qi Lanqin to be his girlfriend.

Zhao Yong wasn’t an outstanding boy, average-looking and not very tall. If it was about looks, he definitely wasn’t a match for Qi Lanqin, but proposing such a condition was certainly a tempting offer for the girl from a poorly-off family like Qi Lanqin.

Everyone’s gaze turned to Qi Lanqin. For this topic, none of them could decide for her.

Qi Lanqin gave an awkward smile and said, “Thank you for your good intentions, Zhao Yong, but I don’t want to work for a state-owned enterprise.”

Zhao Yong hurriedly said, “If you don’t want to go to a state enterprise, you can choose somewhere else! We can deal with it at that time, maybe spend some money or something. With my dad’s ability, he can certainly help you. Even if you can’t get into a department like Lin Yue’s, you can certainly enter a regular government agency, which would also give you a good job.”

Qi Lanqin had already politely declined, yet Zhao Yong seemed not to understand. She could only force a smile and say, “Zhao Yong, I’m really sorry, but I might develop in Minghe in the future and wouldn’t be returning to Pingqing.”

“What?” Zhao Yong’s face turned a little dark. His family’s capabilities could only arrange for Qi Lanqin in Pingqing City; in Minghe, it was out of the question.

Lin Yue chimed in at that moment, “Lanqin, are you really going to Minghe? You don’t know anyone there, how will you develop in that place? Unlike me, I have a boyfriend in Minghe, and his family has some influence. But don’t expect him to arrange for you, finding a job isn’t easy these days. It’s all about connections, and it costs a lot of money. Where would you find money to get a job?”

Lin Yue indeed belonged to the type of people like Snakes; her words easily made people feel embarrassed.

Qi Lanqin, open-minded by nature and aware of what kind of person Lin Yue was, didn’t take her words to heart. Moreover, with her change in status, suddenly these jobs didn’t seem as desirable as before.

She had always desired a good job so she could live better, but now that she suddenly became the Dragon Gate Princess, the things she bought just yesterday alone were worth hundreds of thousands. If she were to rely on a job to earn money, who knows how many years it would take to save enough for a single day’s expenses like she spent yesterday.

It wasn’t because Qi Lanqin loved living extravagantly, but because her horizons had suddenly broadened, no longer confined to just finding a job.

She smiled faintly, “Let’s see when the time comes, my friend will arrange for me.”

“Your friend will arrange for you? What kind of friend can get you a job? Ah…” Lin Yue suddenly exclaimed, “I say Qi Lanqin, you haven’t been kept by someone, have you?”

Everyone’s expression instantly turned peculiar. What Lin Yue said was indeed quite possible; Qi Lanqin was so beautiful. Having a rich person take a fancy to her was quite plausible.

Qi Lanqin’s face turned completely red and she hurriedly said, “No, no.” But suddenly thinking of Song Xiaodong, her heart felt unease; even if she wasn’t kept, she wasn’t truly in love with Song Xiaodong either.

Seeing Qi Lanqin’s unnatural expression, Lin Yue was convinced of her own theory and loudly said, “I say Qi Lanqin, you are really daring, with your looks, you certainly have the capital for it. But remember, this is living off your youth. While you’re still young, make the most money you can. Don’t wait for a few years when they’ve grown tired of you, find someone new, and just discard you.”

Qi Lanqin’s expression grew even more awkward, “No, no, things aren’t like you imagine.”

Chu Lian hurriedly asked, “So what actually is the matter then? Why do you suddenly want to go develop in Minghe?”

Qi Lanqin organized her words, “Didn’t my parents pass away when I was little? They were actually my adoptive parents. Now I’ve found my biological family, so they let me come over. What exactly I’ll be doing, I’m not sure yet, but I have a place to settle down in Minghe now.”

Lin Yue widened her eyes, “Ah? You found your biological parents… wow, this feels like a dramatic plot twist!”

Qi Lanqin quickly said, “Yes, but it’s indeed true. My biological parents have also passed away, now I’ve got just one brother and one sister. The one Lin Yue saw yesterday, she’s my sister.”

This time Lin Yue believed it, “So that’s how it is. How are your brother and sister doing now?”

Qi Lanqin obviously couldn’t disclose Song Xiaodong’s current situation, that would definitely scare them, so she vaguely replied, “They’re doing alright.”

Chu Lian then chimed in, “Well, that’s certainly wonderful news, Lanqin! Your hardships have finally come to an end and you won’t be alone anymore with no one to care for you.”

Those words touched Qi Lanqin’s heart. With tears in her eyes, she nodded, “Yes, my brother and my sister take great care of me.”

“That’s great, that’s great, then in the future I’ll have the chance to visit your home,” Lin Yue chimed in.

Qi Lanqin’s expression became slightly unnatural. Chu Lian immediately said, “Lin Yue, you’re quite eager, Lanqin has just reconnected with her family and is not that familiar yet with their household. It’s not appropriate to randomly invite friends over; it could upset her brother and sister, and we’d be putting Lanqin in a difficult spot?”

He Fangzhi nodded in agreement, “Chu Lian’s right. We shouldn’t trouble Lanqin at this point, but there will always be opportunities in the future.”

Qi Lanqin nodded quickly, “Yes, yes, there will be opportunities later, I will definitely bring you to my house to play.”

In her heart, however, she thought if she ever brought these classmates to Song Xiaodong’s house, they’d probably be shocked speechless.

Chu Lian said, “Come on, come on, to celebrate Qi Lanqin finding her family, let’s have a drink.”

They were all young people, and during the meal, they drank quite a bit, but they were very happy. Then they moved to a nearby karaoke bar.

After entering a mid-range private room, as soon as they sat down, a middle-aged woman in a professional suit, looking like a manager, walked in.

Chu Lian and Lin Yue didn’t think much of it, but Qi Lanqin couldn’t help but widen her eyes, wasn’t that Dragon Seven, if not, who? Why did she come here to be a manager?

However, in an instant, Qi Lanqin understood, Dragon Seven must be here to protect her, which was something she hadn’t expected. It seemed a bit over the top, was it really necessary…
