Receiving an internship offer from a top financial company means that I have one foot firmly planted in my ideal career field. This is undoubtedly a significant achievement, especially at this critical juncture in my junior year.
During the internship, I worked diligently and actively sought to learn. Not only did I successfully complete all assigned tasks, but I also garnered the appreciation of department leaders by proposing several constructive suggestions. The leaders hinted that as long as I maintained this momentum, securing a position after graduation would be virtually guaranteed.
Meanwhile, I was systematically preparing my application for studying abroad. With a stellar recommendation from a renowned professor and this impressive internship experience, combined with my already excellent GPA and language scores, my chances of being accepted into a top-tier university increased significantly.
Everything seemed to be progressing in the best possible direction.
In contrast, Lu Ze's life had descended into chaos. The warning sanction from the academy hung over him like an indelible stain, making it difficult for him to hold his head high in front of teachers or classmates. Friends who once surrounded him gradually distanced themselves.
Losing the internship opportunity meant he had lost an important stepping stone for his career. As I watched my accomplished peers secure internships at well-known companies or prepare for graduate school and studying abroad, he faced an uncertain future, with anxiety and frustration gnawing at him like a venomous snake.
Yet he still refused to reflect on his situation.
In his distorted perception, all his misfortunes stemmed from my "betrayal" and "suppression." He viewed me as a thorn in his side, seizing every opportunity to create trouble for me.
For instance, while I was preparing for an important project presentation, he incited Lin Weiwei to "accidentally" spill coffee on my materials. Fortunately, I had backups, so the damage was minimal.
Additionally, he anonymously reported me to the internship company, claiming that I had falsified my resume and engaged in academic misconduct. Thankfully, the company had already conducted a background check on me, and with the department leader's support, his scheme failed.
These childish and malicious antics served only to reveal his true character and further tarnish his reputation within the academy; they had no substantial effect on me.
I couldn't even be bothered to respond to each of his provocations because I knew that the more desperate he became, the more it proved he was out of options and consumed by impotent rage.
What truly saddened and amused me was that he placed all his hopes on Lin Weiwei, who had initially caused him such indecision but had now revealed her selfish nature.
Lin Weiwei came from a family with some connections; her uncle held a minor leadership position in a city department. Lu Ze likely hoped to leverage her family's influence to carve out some opportunities for himself.
As a result, his attitude toward Lin Weiwei underwent a complete turnaround. The previous impatience and arguments vanished, replaced by deliberate flattery and indulgence. He began frequently buying her gifts and accompanying her on shopping trips and dinners, even suppressing his temper when she acted unreasonable.
His obsequious demeanor was a stark contrast to the once aloof Lu Ze who made me wait for him to "decide."
Unfortunately, Lin Weiwei was no fool. She had initially been attracted to Lu Ze for his excellence, family background, and the vanity he could provide her. Now that Lu Ze's luster had faded and his future looked bleak—especially since he needed to rely on her family—her attitude towards him naturally grew increasingly haughty and critical.
I had witnessed more than once how Lin Weiwei would boss Lu Ze around while he forced a smile and swallowed his pride.
How long could such a parasitic relationship last?
I merely observed from afar as they tugged at each other in this farce called "love," draining one another's energy. My focus had long since shifted away from them.
In addition to my internship and preparing my study abroad application, I also took advantage of my spare time to seize a couple of small investment opportunities based on the memories from my last life. Using the scholarship I had saved up and my internship salary, I made a modest profit. It wasn't much, but it was enough to make my future study abroad life more comfortable.
I also encouraged my parents to explore new business channels, helping them avoid several pitfalls they had encountered in my last life. Under my father's steady management and my occasional "divine assistance," our family business not only weathered the crisis but even thrived beyond its previous state. The smiles on my parents' faces grew more frequent, and the atmosphere at home became increasingly warm and harmonious.
This is the true meaning of my rebirth: to protect those I care about and to live my own life well.
As for Lu Ze? He is merely an inconsequential pawn in my revenge plan, soon to be crushed.
