Chapter 22 Internship

In June, on a hot summer day, Huang Chiyao’s third year of college officially ended.

Her internship life at Zhixin Technology officially began, lasting three months.

At first, Huang Chiyao felt excited and fresh. Not only could she see many sophisticated machines, but her colleagues were also very friendly. Whenever she asked a question, they would talk about it, such as demonstrating how the machine worked and explaining what the production process would be like.

Moreover, she didn’t need to wear formal clothes in the engineering department, and being able to wear comfortable clothes to work made her feel better.

But slowly, she began to realize that something was wrong.

It has been a week since she came to the engineering department. On the surface, it seems that she is needed throughout the department, but in reality, she has only been doing miscellaneous work, such as serving tea, ordering meals, copying documents, and organizing tools.

Other than that, nothing more in-depth has been done.

Huang Chiyao was very confused. She didn't know about interns in other professions, but shouldn't interns in her major be exposed to some engineering-related work?

Otherwise, I won’t be able to write the internship report that I will submit to the school later.

But she didn't have the chance to learn even the simplest assembly by doing.

No matter which senior you ask, the best she can do is sit on the side and watch.

Her colleagues said that this way they could call her for help at any time, and she could try it at any time.

But in the end, she just sat there doing nothing, and did nothing serious except feeling the strange looks from everyone who passed by or worked next to her.

Even if you want to secretly look at the materials and study them yourself, you don’t have enough authority and cannot get the file.

Huang Chiyao is a little skeptical about life.

Is this the working atmosphere in all engineering departments?

After finishing her odd jobs that day, Huang Chiyao still had nothing to do. She was bored and had no choice but to take her cup to the tea room to drink some water and take a breath. But before she even reached the door, she heard her name.

"Boss, what do you think of that yellow-winged shake?"

"She's pretty, but her clothes are a mess. I don't know what's going on. It ruins her face."

Huang Chiyao recognized the voices as those of her two seniors, one of whom was the head of the engineering department.

She knew eavesdropping was not a good thing to do, but she couldn't just walk away halfway through listening.

Because she is the person involved.

The people in the tea room continued to chat and laugh.

"Next time, give her one of our work clothes to cover up the ugliness. Then we can be more comfortable and appreciate the beauty while working."

"That's a good idea. She was originally hired to be a vase. Otherwise, what kind of help can a woman bring to the engineering department?"

"Yeah, she's just an intern anyway, easy to fool."

"But then again, I used the interview questions for senior engineers to tease her last time. I wanted to see her unable to answer and admire her silly beauty. I didn't expect her to answer it quite well. It's a pity that she is so beautiful but has no use for brains."

Huang Chiyao felt that she could not bear to listen any longer. Just when she was thinking whether to tear her face off and go out to argue with them immediately, or to swallow her anger and endure these three months to complete the internship report before settling the score, a slender figure appeared in front of her.

"Student Huang, what a coincidence, come and have a drink of water?"

The person who came was Miss Xu from the Human Resources Department, but as soon as she arrived, she exposed Huang Chiyao's position, making Huang Chiyao unable to advance or retreat.

No one knew why she appeared in the engineering department's tea room.

Without waiting for Huang Chiyao to answer, Miss Xu cast a coquettish glance at her, then tossed her long hair and stepped into the tea room in her high heels.

"Hey, Director Gao, you're here? I was looking for you. Kelvin said he would trouble you to come to the HR department to sign some documents. But you two seem to be having such a good chat, what are you talking about?"

Huang Chiyao only felt that the fragrance of Miss Xu's hair was still lingering in front of her, so fragrant that she was a little dazed, and she couldn't help but follow Miss Xu into the tea room.

Miss Xu suddenly raised her voice slightly.

"I thought this month was the peak season and you would be too busy to rest." Then Ms. Xu praised in a slightly exaggerated voice: "It seems that you have completed the task, which is really amazing!"

The two men in the tea room laughed dryly.

"I'm still busy, but I still need to take a break and drink some water."

"I'll go put my things away first and then I'll be there. See you later."

"Okay." Miss Xu waved her slender fingers goodbye.

After saying that, the two of them left. They didn't even say hello when they passed by Huang Chi Yao, which seemed like they were running away in a hurry.

Unfortunately, the fragrance that had just lingered in her nose was disturbed.

But the fragrance wafted back.

Miss Xu walked over to Huang Chiyao, took the cup from her hand, filled it with water and handed it back to her.

"Thank you, Miss Xu."

Miss Xu turned around and picked up a disposable paper cup, filled herself with water, and took a sip.

"We are colleagues now, so just call me Coco. If you are not used to it, you can call me by my Chinese name. My name is Xu Keke, and you can also call me Sister Coco."

Huang Chiyao glanced at the red lip print on the paper cup and said obediently, "Thank you, Sister Coco."

"It's just that..." Xu Keke tilted her head and said jokingly, "What are you thanking me for?"

Huang Chiyao's first thank you was originally for Xu Keke filling water for her, and the second one was naturally to thank Xu Keke for coming forward.

Although she didn't say anything to the two men in person, at least it prevented her from being so embarrassed at that moment.

So she answered, “Both.”

Although they didn't say it explicitly, both of them knew it.

"But it's not over yet." Xu Keke took another sip of water and continued, "I still hope you won't give up. I haven't helped you in any substantial way. You still have to do the rest by yourself."

Huang Chiyao certainly knew. She nodded and said firmly, "I want them to know that I am no worse than men."

“Oh my~”

Xu Keke suddenly sighed.

"I really don't like you talking like that."

Huang Chiyao's heart skipped a beat.

What should I do? Am I hated?

Was I excluded when I first entered the workplace?

Even such a gentle sister Coco doesn’t like her?

Xu Ke was amused by Huang Chiyao's helpless and resentful expression. After laughing a few times, she said calmly, "You said the same thing during the interview, saying 'If boys can do it, I can do it too.'"

Huang Chi shook his head in confusion. "Is there anything wrong with this sentence?"

“That’s not a good thing to say.”

Xu Keke's expression turned serious.

"Your vision is too narrow."

"I don't quite understand." Huang Chi thought for a moment, still not knowing why Xu Keke would say that. Isn't this a normal way to express one's ability? She is indeed no worse than a man.

Sure enough, the workplace is like the ocean.

It seems that a small shrimp like her can be easily eaten at any time.

You won’t even know you’ve been eaten.

"You will eventually understand." Xu Keke's face softened. She patted Huang Chi's shaking head twice and said, "I am very optimistic about you. I believe that you will grow up in the near future. Maybe you will take some detours, or you may hit a wall, but you will eventually get to the right path. When the time comes, you will know what I am talking about."

After saying that, Xu Keke raised the paper cup in her hand and clinked it with Huang Chiyao's cup.

"Cheers to being the same gender!"
