Chapter 1538: Chapter 1538 Jealousy
Since her ninth birthday, after he didn’t come, her young heart understood that he never really cared about her, only saw her as a cute doll, so when she left, he simply didn’t mind.
Yet why should he treat her like a pet.
She’s never felt so sad, her heart filled with grievance, stirred her anger and determination.
She wants to prove to him that Jun Yiyi is not just a shallow doll who pleases, apart from a pretty face, she also has depth and other qualities worth liking, no one can treat her as a toy.
This time, she can finally make a strong comeback, she wants him to see her differently.
...
More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
The day to prepare to return came quickly, at the project meeting today, Jun Yiyi mentioned wanting to take five days off, her mentor and project lead, Professor Wolf, agreed to her leave of absence.
But this matter caused dissatisfaction from a project member, a doctoral student named Yares from the same university as Jun Yiyi, who always disagreed with her, now spoke sarcastically.
"The project timeline is so tight, and yet taking a leave, that’s too irresponsible."
Professor Wolf said, "For young women, coming-of-age ceremonies are very important, moreover she hasn’t gone home for half a year because of this project, she should have a break. Besides, she’s very responsible, she has basically completed the parts she’s in charge of ahead of time."
Yares had nothing to say for a while, but felt uncomfortable about Professor Wolf’s apparent favoritism towards Jun Yiyi, looking at her with disdain.
"Everyone doesn’t have time to attend my birthday party, so tonight I’m inviting everyone out as an early celebration," Jun Yiyi said cheerfully, always enthusiastic and lively within the group, everyone quite liked her, and upon hearing of her invitation, they were happy to agree.
After work, the entire project team took an inter-island flight to an island tourist destination dozens of kilometers away, with Jun Yiyi’s wealth and natural boldness, she immediately took everyone to a luxurious five-star hotel on the island, letting colleagues relax.
After enjoying various comfortable activities, it was evening, and everyone went to a nearby bar to continue having fun.
After three rounds of drinks, Professor Wolf was a bit tipsy and unintentionally revealed a bombshell, saying that after the project was completed, there would be a lucky spot pushed to the Ministry of Defense for an important position.
It was a position with a very promising future, naturally causing everyone’s delight, Jun Yiyi’s eyes also glowed with anticipation.
Yares was also thrilled initially, that position was his dream, if he could get it, it would mean unlimited prospects and success, since he had the strongest capabilities and deepest qualifications in the project group. But seeing Jun Yiyi across from him showing such eager excitement.
His gaze suddenly darkened, cold light flashed within.
How did he forget about this spoilt rich woman who follows hidden rules, even if he works hard, he fears she may knock him out with insidious means.
That’s why he detests this woman. Clearly she hadn’t finished her undergraduate studies, yet easily entered this project group where doctoral students fought to join, clearly Professor Wolf, a doctoral advisor, the most renowned professor in this field, broke precedent to mentor an undergraduate on a paper.
Who would believe there are no hidden rules behind this, isn’t she relying on her good background, her family’s wealth?
