Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 561: Chapter 535: Nightmare and True Love

If Qian had the chance to choose again, she would definitely be more careful when selecting her graduate advisor.

How great would it have been not to choose that professor as her graduate school boss! Choosing the professor meant that her life was being lived in pieces!

Mr. Liu has now become the undisputed big boss in the eyes of the students, holding wealth-filled projects and only supervising Ph.D. students; he’s only mentoring Qian, which is absolute true love.

Being loved by a professor like Mr. Liu is a very miserable thing.

It’s not that she’s holding back and not mentoring Qian properly. Mr. Liu teaching Qian generously is beyond doubt, just like in past life. Having experienced so much in this life, liking Qian undoubtedly means teaching even more.

Currently, Mr. Liu is a big boss who seldom personally mentors students given her busy project schedule; she delegates many students to the smaller bosses, except Qian who is her trusted aide. She often grabs Qian and makes her lead projects with junior students, something Qian can endure.

But she absolutely can’t endure the lousy internship the professor found for her, what nonsense is this?

Qian isn’t the average person, her mentor doesn’t see her as one either. Everyone else goes out to find internships themselves, but one day while Qian was brushing her teeth, she got a call from the professor telling her to report to a radio station, having already informed the station director.

Informed, the station, director!

When Qian first heard these words, she nearly exploded.

She wanted to tell the professor that she wasn’t interested, but Mr. Liu hung up. Usually, whatever this elderly woman decides, no one can change; Qian could only bite the bullet and go.

Having a mentor who sets you up like this is truly headache-inducing.

She seriously suspects the professor has hit menopause, constantly finding ways to trouble her. In past life, she was punished by the professor to copy books numerous times. In this life, she thought having a reborn cheat with enormous knowledge reserves would win the professor’s favor—wrong.

She’s had to copy even more, and Mr. Liu specifically tortures her with niche matters she hadn’t encountered in past life. She wouldn’t treat her Ph.D. students like this, just tossing Qian around, making fellow senior sisters, who see Qian, show sympathetic faces. They all know that Liu, the big boss and Master Miejue, have focused their firepower on Qian these past two years, easing things for others, sacrificing one for the happiness of others!

In short, due to the mentor’s setup, Qian can only sit in this small broadcasting room, smelling the not-so-pleasant odor of the microphone and listening to the morally questionable outpourings from callers.

Thankfully, this tortured time is finally over. Qian says goodbye to the director and walks out of the radio station building, seeing a new Beetle car at the entrance, a horribly bright pink one.

Who has such bad taste, buying such an ugly car?

Although a pink little bug car is the goddess car in many girls’ hearts, CEO Qian doesn’t like such conspicuousness. She’s recently wanted to trade in her ugly, two-year-old Xiaohong, because the color is hideous.

With Xiaohong sent for maintenance, she’s arranged for Shi Touyu to pick her up. Not seeing Shi Touyu’s white pony, Qian is about to call him when the pink bug car window opens, and a pretty hand waves at Qian warmly.

”CEO Qian, over here!”

Qian’s mouth twitches, she walks over silently scrutinizing the much-hated pink bug, looking ridiculous from afar and still ridiculous up close.

”How is it, sister? Is this new gear cool or what? Ordered from abroad, just picked up and here to fetch you. Isn’t it awesome?”

Shi Touyu flaunts the car to Qian, as freshman Da Yi uses an ordinary tone to expose Shi Touyu.

”CEO Qian, you drive. She just struggled with backing out, took forever to get the car out of the parking lot.”

No one would believe she didn’t bribe the examiner when getting her license.

”Hey, it’s a new car that needs running-in, right? You don’t have to be so discourteous, do you? CEO Qian, how about driving my little pink? Experience a girly, cute mood.”

”I’m taking a cab back.”

”No! Don’t be so individualistic, ok? This is my last countdown single night, past this week I’ll be moving into my own house. Shouldn’t we have a proper gathering? I’ll be married soon, you two single ladies shouldn’t envy me.”

Da Yi and Shi Touyu are about to graduate, and once Shi Touyu graduates, she will wear a wedding dress for her brother Qiao Zhen.

”What bride are you talking about? It’s ’old news’ already. Since you two got the marriage certificate in a flash and have been sticking together, torturing the two of us with your little love stories every now and then, how can you shamelessly say you’re a bride?” Qian unceremoniously points out.

And Da Yi, cooperating seamlessly with Qian, silently chews over Qian’s keywords.

Obviously, CEO Qian splashes mud with such literary flair.

Stone and Qiao Zhen actually got the marriage certificate long ago, Qiao Zhen was subjected to the wind and rain-like beatings from his foster parents; after kneeling at their door for 3 days, he finally gained their consent for a speedy marriage. Since Stone was still in school, they didn’t have a big ceremony. Now that graduation is approaching, they’re finally having one.

”CEO Qian, can’t you be like this? I’m about to move out, don’t you even miss me a bit?” Shi Touyu has cried secretly many times.

After moving out of dorm room 4444, the three girls lived in a house Qian bought. Graduation is near and they’ll each go their separate ways, making parting hard to bear. Although being with her beloved man is a joyful thing, thinking about the family trio splitting stings the heart.

”After waiting for so long, exchanging for day and night companionship—this isn’t a good thing? Don’t talk as if we’ll never see each other again.”

”But I’ll be leaving after graduation, likely heading to Q City to find my brother, Da Yi is pursuing further studies, and you’ll be here, you two are fine, what about me...”

Stone has become increasingly devious over the years, but she’s still vulnerable in front of her sisters, turning sorely whenever thinking about leaving CEO Qian and Da Yi.

As soon as she said that, the car’s atmosphere instantly became heavy, Da Yi also felt plagued inside.

”Alright, you’re married women now, don’t get so sentimental. Good friends don’t grow distant because of distance, scoot over, I’ll drive, letting you drive means none of us are going home.”

Qian is always the one controlling the situation, always calm and composed on the outside; but inside, she has a small spot feeling a bit sore.

It feels as if time has frozen to the moment when the three girls first met years ago, and now they’re only days away from separating.

Together now, but goodbye isn’t far away,

After dinner, Qian lay in bed thinking of sleep and instinctively felt irked, would she have the dream again tonight?

The dream has haunted her for many nights, she hopes to not dream again tonight.
