That night, Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen went to the hospital together to visit Grandpa Xia.
In the hospital ward, a delicately dressed woman was bustling around the hospital bed, checking on the patient from time to time.
"Grandpa, eat more. These cherries are so sweet. I usually like them the most. And this imported durian. I specially ordered it for you from abroad." Xia Ruolin's voice was three - parts sweet and seven - parts willful. From time to time, she acted cute, which gave Grandpa Xia a headache.
"Just put them there." Grandpa Xia rubbed his temples.
"Grandpa, let me help you." Xia Ruolin quickly stepped forward and gently pressed on Grandpa Xia's temples. While pressing, she said,
"Grandpa, since the misunderstanding between me and Sister Weilan has been resolved, can you allow me to intern in the company during the summer vacation?"
Xia Ruolin had been groomed as an outstanding successor since childhood. Although her academic performance was mediocre, after years of accumulation, she had more insights than ordinary rich girls. What she lacked most was practical experience.
But she had to gain experience in the Xia Corporation. Experience came with time. She had also interned in the company during the last holiday.
Seeing that Grandpa Xia didn't say a word, Xue Zhiqing quickly said,
"Dad, look how filial Ruolin is. She's been thinking about the company these days and wants to share your burdens. Otherwise, why would she be so diligent? She heard that the deputy design director of the company was poached and was worried that there would be a shortage of staff in the company. She wants to go and help."
A smile played on Xia Ruolin's lips, and a glint flashed in her eyes. It would be great if she could directly become the deputy director in the Xia Group. Xia Ruolin pretended to be calm but was actually excited as she looked at Grandpa Xia. The light in her eyes was almost overflowing. How could Grandpa Xia not notice?
Grandpa Xia frowned. It was unrealistic for Xia Ruolin to be the deputy director of the design department. It was simply nonsense.
But then Grandpa Xia suddenly thought of Xia Weilan. His eyes lit up. With Xia Weilan's title of champion in the Moying Design Competition, it was well - deserved for her to be the deputy design director in the Xia Corporation.
"I've already chosen someone for this position." Grandpa Xia said authoritatively, and at the same time, he blocked Xia Ruolin's hand from his temple. His head hadn't hurt that much before, but after her massage, it was throbbing even more.
The look of disappointment on Xia Ruolin's face flashed by, and then she pretended to be generous and said, "Grandpa is right. Then what position does Grandpa plan to assign me in the Xia Corporation?"
Xia Ruolin thought that even if she couldn't be the deputy director, she was surely qualified to be the team leader in the marketing department. Besides, the publicity department was also short - staffed.
Xue Zhiqing had explained all this to her on the way here. In the company, although Xue Zhiqing held an idle position, she still had high prestige. Everyone in the company gave her face.
Two knocks on the door interrupted Xia Ruolin's train of thought. She subconsciously looked up. At first, she just took a casual glance, but after that glance, she couldn't look away.
Standing outside the door were Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan. Mo Beichen knocked on the wide - open door twice with a cold look on his face, and then stepped in.
"Grandpa, we're here to see you." Xia Weilan gave Xia Ruolin a meaningful look but didn't say much.
Seeing Mo Beichen walking towards her leisurely at this moment, Xia Ruolin unconsciously tightened the corner of her skirt. Her breathing became disordered, and her ears turned red. She looked nervous and envious.
The last time Mo Beichen forced her to drink, she still felt a little scared when she thought about it. But she couldn't help but want to see him, and she couldn't take her eyes off him.
"Brother Beichen, I heard that the Moying Group has recently signed a big deal. Congratulations." Xia Ruolin flattered him with a flirtatious look in her eyes.
Everyone in the capital was talking about how Mo Beichen had signed several foreign famous brands to enter the Moying Group's shopping malls in a flash, and they were exclusive in the country.
Mo Beichen frowned and suddenly took two steps back. "Miss Xia's perfume today is too pungent. Could it be that the smell from prison hasn't faded yet?"
Xia Ruolin was stabbed by Mo Beichen's undisguised look of disgust. She subconsciously smelled herself and looked innocent.
"Brother Beichen, I didn't."
As she said this, Xia Ruolin took a few steps forward towards Mo Beichen, anxious to explain.
Mo Beichen frowned and directly moved to the other side of Xia Weilan.
This sudden scene in the ward left Xue Zhiqing stunned. After reacting, she quickly pulled her daughter, who seemed a bit indiscreet, and scolded her,
"Look at you. What's wrong with you today? You're so unruly. Go and wait outside first."
Just now, Xia Ruolin's action was almost like throwing herself at Mo Beichen.
Xia Ruolin stamped her foot. As if she had suffered a great injustice, she rushed out directly. When she went out, she slammed the ward door hard and ran away in a fit of anger.
"This child..." Grandpa Xia shook his head helplessly. Xia Ruolin usually pretended to be gentle and elegant, but in fact, she was a spoiled princess at heart.
Fortunately, he still had a granddaughter, Xia Weilan.
Xia Weilan was sensible and mature, which made Grandpa Xia very satisfied.
"Weilan, come and sit down." Grandpa Xia always had a kind smile on his face when facing Xia Weilan.
Xue Zhiqing's face darkened for a moment, but then she quickly put on a fake smile and pretended to look lovingly at Xia Weilan.
Xia Weilan walked over and sat down by the bed. There was a natural fragrance on her body, faint but very pleasant. Grandpa Xia immediately felt more at ease.
Mo Beichen suddenly said, "Grandpa, when I came here just now, I heard you talking about the vacancy in the company. I heard that the branch of the Xia Corporation outside the province is in great need of staff recently. Since Miss Ruolin is willing to share your burdens, I think it's a good choice to let her go to the branch for experience."
This was also Mo Beichen's primary purpose for coming here today, to send Xia Ruolin far away.
"Dad, the branch is too far away." Xue Zhiqing immediately disagreed.
"How could I be willing to let her go so far to intern?"
"Far? I think it's great. You've spoiled Ruolin. It's the best for her to go out and gain experience by herself now." Grandpa Xia said in a deep and unhappy voice.
Xue Zhiqing didn't expect Grandpa Xia to be so unfeeling. Without blinking an eye, he was sending Xia Ruolin so far away. Her heart sank immediately. When she looked at Xia Weilan again, there was a hint of hatred in her eyes.
"Dad, you're right. It's a good thing for Ruolin to gain experience." Xue Zhiqing's tone was very flat, as if she had no objections.
Only then did Grandpa Xia calm down. Then he turned to Xia Weilan and said,
"Girl, during the summer vacation, you can go to the company for an internship. I think the design department is quite suitable for you."
"Grandpa, I decide to apply for the position of designer in the company." Xia Weilan expressed her thoughts.
