Chapter 761: Chapter 741 Internship_1

After Xiao Muli left, Situ Xin also went back to university for her classes. However, this time when she returned to the campus, she encountered major news, an extremely important message for seniors in college: it was time for internships. Indeed, Situ Xin was a senior now and also faced the matter of finding an internship.

Ordinarily, students from Capital City University like Situ Xin in their senior year would be highly sought after, with many organizations vying to recruit them for internships. An internship also implied that upon graduation, students would often start working at the organizations where they interned.

Originally, Situ Xin was hesitant about whether to join her peers in internships at external organizations. Moreover, she had already received several invitations from large companies for internships, which made her classmates green with envy.

It was common for Situ Xin to skip classes, sometimes appearing only a few times during a semester before showing up for exams. Yet, despite this, she became a hot commodity among major companies. How could one not be filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment?

Fortunately, considering Situ Xin’s strong reputation at the university, even though other students might have had their thoughts and feelings of envy, jealousy, and resentment, they only kept it to themselves. They wouldn’t dare show it in front of Situ Xin. In fact, even if they did show their feelings in her presence, Situ Xin would choose to completely ignore them.

However, those who only saw Situ Xin receiving numerous internship offers from large companies tended to selectively forget the reason why she was so in demand. It should be noted that, even though Situ Xin only attended class a few times per semester, she always managed to secure the top spot in her department at the end of each term.

The reason for Situ Xin’s hesitation wasn’t that the companies were not good, but rather, she had no intention of working for those companies after graduation. Even if she wanted to, her uncle and aunt wouldn’t agree. The couple had long been complaining in her ear, stating that Situ Xin, as a shareholder, was irresponsible, dumping a pile of responsibilities onto them while she herself remained carefree and uninvolved.

Situ Xin guessed that if she weren’t still in university, her uncle and aunt might just dump the company on her and take off on a honeymoon.

So after Xiao Muli’s departure, Situ Xin was caught in such a conflicted state. Normally, with both families busy with cultivation, they paid much less attention to Situ Xin, and thus did not notice her unusual mood.

But a few days didn’t pass before her academic advisor, noticing that Situ Xin had yet to respond to the large companies, became anxious. He had a heart-to-heart with her to ask about her plans.

If it were any other student, the advisor might have started with a lecture, considering the great opportunity before them and yet still hesitating, failing to seize it firmly. But who was Situ Xin? She was someone even the university leaders were cautious of. Although the advisor didn’t know Situ Xin’s exact status, he knew it must be significant. So, he could only adopt a conversational tone and couldn’t be assertive. However, what he clearly forgot was that if Situ Xin’s status was indeed significant, then those internship positions were essentially trivial to her.

Regarding what her advisor said, Situ Xin expressed her need to think it over and promised to give a response in the next couple of days. When Situ Xin returned home from school, to her surprise, she saw her family members, who should have been cultivating, all sitting in the living room. This gave her quite a shock. She patted her chest and asked, "Why is everyone here today? Why aren’t you cultivating? Are we waiting for someone?"

Situ Xin had no idea that everyone was waiting for her. When she saw her family members, her first thought was that something serious must have happened at home.

"Ahem. Baby, all of us were waiting for you," Old Master Loo said to his beloved granddaughter in an awkward cough. They had also received a call from the president of Capital City University that afternoon, which made them realize that their preoccupation with cultivation in recent days might have caused them to overlook their precious girl. They had somehow missed such an important matter.

Thus, after the two old masters and the two old madams received the call, they reflected a bit and telephoned everyone to discuss the issue, which resulted in the scene that Situ Xin encountered when she came home from school.

"Waiting for me? What’s the matter?" Situ Xin, surprised that everyone was waiting for her, searched her mind for any recent event around her that could have warranted such attention, especially since Xiao Muli had only just left and the matter of cultivation had been clarified.

"Yes. Baby, such an important matter, why didn’t you discuss it with your grandfather?" Old Master Situ asked Situ Xin.

"What matter?" Situ Xin still looked puzzled. She hadn’t considered the internship to be such an important issue; it was merely something she was contemplating.

"It’s about your graduation internship, which relates to what you’ll do in the future," Old Madam Loo answered.

"Oh, that matter, I am still hesitating about it. Why? Does everyone have any good suggestions for me?" Situ Xin, realizing it was this topic, relaxed her expression at once, then naturally went over and sat down beside her grandmother.

"Your grandpa and I think you should join a public institution. You know, it’s relaxing work, and for a little girl like you, it’s better to stay comfy in an office," Old Master Situ said cheerfully, as soon as he heard Situ Xin ask for their opinion, he told her the result of what he and Old Master Loo had discussed.

"Eh, Grandpa, Grandfather, have you forgotten about my secret identity already? With my status as the Dark Division Leader, if I really joined a public institution, what kind of reaction do you think the Leader above would have?" Situ Xin didn’t expect her grandpa and grandfather to suggest she join a public institution. She knew the "public institution" they mentioned wasn’t any ordinary one, and if she were to join, her position wouldn’t be low. If it were low, these two old masters definitely wouldn’t be pleased.

Truth be told, Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo never gave their younger generations any special treatment. Look, their sons and grandsons have their status today entirely because of their own efforts. While others might give them some leniency due to their family background, these elders never interfered to help their sons and grandsons. However, when it came to this one precious girl of theirs, they had long thrown caution to the wind. Before this, when discussing, they had already considered which institution was good, with high wages and a relaxed atmosphere with no scheming. They were prepared to find someone to arrange this.

However, it seemed that these two old masters had quite forgotten about Situ Xin’s identity as the Dark Division Leader. Indeed, over the years, the old masters had taken a step back and rarely got involved. Since Situ Xin had taken over the Dark Division, she seldom handled matters personally, preferring to operate from behind the scenes. This had made the two old masters lose sight of Situ Xin’s role as the Dark Division Leader, which was understandable.

"Look at us, how could we have forgotten about this matter? Baby definitely can’t take this path," Old Master Situ exclaimed, smacking his forehead.

"Baby isn’t just unable to take this path. She should have already been part of the establishment, right? I think her treatment is similar to Haotian and the others," Old Master Loo recalled this detail after being reminded by Situ Xin.

"Eh, Baby, now that you mention it, I forgot to ask you. What’s been going on with the Dark Division recently? There’s been quite a stir, and a few days ago, the Leader came to me asking about this matter," Loo Jianguo was planning to find a good time to ask Situ Xin about this, but now, with the elders mentioning the Dark Division, the timing was perfect to ask. "I heard the Dark Division is acquiring a corporate group?"

As soon as Loo Jianguo brought up this question, the ears of the men present perked up, all looking at Situ Xin with curious fascination, quite intrigued by the matters of the Dark Division.

"Oh, yes, we are acquiring a corporate group," Situ Xin admitted frankly; she had never intended to hide it. Otherwise, she would have instructed her people to proceed covertly from the beginning of the Dark Division’s operations, knowing that not only the Leader, but many others, were watching the Dark Division closely.

What Situ Xin planned this time with the Dark Division wasn’t something scandalous. Moreover, she wanted exactly this kind of impact. Sometimes, the more you try to conceal your actions, the more you provoke suspicion. On the other hand, being open and straightforward might cause the opponent to be tense initially, but eventually, they probably wouldn’t take it to heart as much.

Situ Xin was also planning to use the Gu Family company acquired by the Dark Division to make a fortune for the organization.

"Baby, what are your thoughts? I mean, what is the Dark Division preparing to do? Tell your uncle so I can be prepared," Loo Jianguo didn’t say out loud that he needed to know so he could help Situ Xin a little. He was still worried that his niece might suffer disadvantage at the hands of those old foxes.

But, Loo Jianguo, you’ve got to be kidding. Situ Xin isn’t so easy to outwit—if those are old foxes, then Situ Xin is quite the sly fox herself.

"Uncle, don’t worry, I’m not planning on doing anything. The Dark Division’s actions are just about earning some extra pocket money," Situ Xin winked mischievously at her uncle, Loo Jianguo.

"The truth now," Loo Jianguo looked at his mischievous niece with a face full of indulgence.
