Su Tongxin was taken aback.
âHow is that possible? I did not take it!â
âI canât believe that youâre still trying to deny when all the evidence points to you! Haha, how interesting!â Yang Huali said.
âTongxin, Iâve always looked up to you. But, what youâve done today really made me disappointed. If you really liked it, you could have just told me!â Xiaoyun accused her in disbelief.
âIt wasnât me! It really wasnât me!â
Su Tongxin continued shaking her head.
âExactly! Iâm telling you, Yang Huali. Tongxinâs boyfriend is the richest man in Jin Ling. She could have anything she wants with a snap of her fingers. Why would she need to steal?â Su Mengmeng defended Su Tongxin.
âHahahaha! Wow, Iâm so scared! Jin Lingâs richest man!â
Yang Huali tried to contain her laughter as she mocked.
âWhatever. What you just said doesnât deny the fact that she stole anyway. We will report this to the director tomorrow! Letâs go! I canât believe that youâre the directorâs favourite. Haha, thereâs even that huge event at the Hong Kong Television Station tomorrow! We will see how youâre going to explain yourself then!â
Yang Huali spun around and left, pulling Xiaoyun along with her.
Ma Nan looked at Su Tongxin with an unreadable expression. Finally, she bit her lips and left.
âTongxin, how did this happen? All of us believe that you wouldnât steal it. But the problem is, all of us were at the dorm the whole time, so who could have planted the ring under your pillow?â
Of course, Su Mengmeng and the others knew who her boyfriend was. Even if they didnât, they were sure about Tongxinâs personality.
âI know who planted it. But, I donât think that she did it to harm me!â
Tears were threatening to drop from Su Tongxinâs eyes.
Indeed, how could she not know how this happened?
However, Su Tongxin couldnât understand why Ma Nan would help Yang Huali to frame her.
Didnât I stand up for her everytime she was bullied by Yang Huali?
Meanwhile, Su Mengmeng and the others also figured out who it was.
âWhat the f*ck? I will confront her right now! How ungrateful!â
Su Mengmeng and Wu Wenwen were agitated.
âWhatever. Thereâs no use confronting her anyways. Since someone could persuade Ma Nan into framing me, of course the person wouldn't let her tell the truth! Moreover, this is obviously a trap. Even if they didnât succeed this time, there will be more next time. She will never let me compete with her fair and square!â
Su Tongxin lay back on her bed, depressed.
âTongxin, why donât you give Chen Hao a call? Yang Huali is a local and has many connections around this area. It would be impossible for you to win against her. Look, she can even make Ma Nan listen to her! All she wants is to stop you from competing and send you back to Jin Ling!â said Su Mengmeng worriedly.
âI know, Mengmeng. You guys should stay out of this. I am the only one that she hates anyway. I donât want to drag you guys down with me. I heard that a mysterious powerful person is coming over to the television station tomorrow. So, letâs rest well tonight and prepare for tomorrow!â
Su Tongxin lay back onto her bed.
Although she insisted that she was fine, she was still a girl after all. Deep down, she felt that she didnât have anyone who cared about her.
She couldnât help but think of Chen Hao.
If only Chen Hao was here, he would have been by my side no matter what.
If he knew that something happened to me, he would also be the first to rush over.
At that moment, Su Tongxin really wanted to give Chen Hao a call and vent out all her frustrations.
It wasnât easy for a girl to live outside on her own.
However, she remembered what Qin Ya had told her back then. If she needed Chen Hao to handle all of her problems for her, what else could she offer him except for her looks?
All she wanted was to be the woman behind Chen Hao, assisting him on the road to success, and not just an ornament that was placed around without any purpose.
Su Tongxin had a hard time falling asleep that night.
The next morning.
Due to the event at the television station, most of them went over earlier to help set up and what not.
The Hong Kong Television Station along with other television stations within the Southern region and some others from around China were solely owned and managed by a huge enterprise.
They were extremely powerful.
Moreover, there were also rumors that the boss behind the group was a young woman with an influential background.
However, the powerful television station enterprise was nothing but a speck of dust in the eye of the boss.
The rumors had been going on for quite some time.
However, no one knew the exact situation behind it. After all, no one had seen the boss.
Therefore, it was an understatement that the television station took this event seriously.
Even the arrangements of the furniture in the hall had to be precise as no mistakes would be tolerated.
One could imagine the level of importance of this event.
Moreover, the event this time would be graced by many famous celebrities from the local scene. It would be a lively event.
Clap clap clap!
While everyone was still setting up decorations, Director Hou clapped his hands and motioned for the interns as well as the staff to stop what they were doing.
âGuys, please come over. I have an announcement to make!â
Around ten of them gathered around.
âIn light of a special guest who would be coming over today, I need all of you to be especially careful!
Moreover, I have decided to select one of the interns to present awards. However, they must be on constant alert as they will be required to interact with many powerful figures!â Director Hou said nervously.
âHuali, we support you!â
Suddenly, a bunch of people screamed out on the spot.
They were all young masters and misses from rich families who came to show their support to Yang Huali. Naturally, they had the privilege to enter the venue.
As a matter of fact, many have already arrived at the venue by this time.
Even the influential figures from Yan Jing and Shanghai had arrived.
Director Houâs mouth twitched a little before smiling awkwardly. âI have already discussed with the television station and decided to let Su Tongxin hold the position!â
âTongxin, you must work hard!â Director Hou said, putting all his faith in her.
Su Tongxin nodded.
âHmph! I disagree!â
Yang Hualiâs face turned green with envy. It went without saying that the person chosen for this role would also be the leader among the interns.
Hence, Yang Huali was naturally anxious about the selection.
âHuali, you still have other tasks to do, right? What are you disagreeing on?
Director Hou was also well aware about Yang Hualiâs background and dared not be too strict with her.
âIâm not saying that I want to compete too. But, what I mean is that anyone else could compete for this position except for that thief! Otherwise, it would be a disgrace to everyone!â Yang Huali protested.
âWhat thief? What are you talking about?â Director Hou demanded.
âNow that itâs brought up, I was just going to report it to you. Yesterday night, Su Tongxin stole the diamond ring that Xiaoyunâs boyfriend gave her! Everyone was there too! We have all the evidence!â
Yang Huali explained.
A bunch of the girls nodded.
To be honest, if it werenât for the fact that they saw it for themselves, no one would have believed it.
âBased on this alone, Su Tongxin doesnât deserve to be selected!â
âExactly! How could you pick someone like this?â
âF*ck! Just kick her out! She stole things too! How embarrassing!â
âYeah! She is such a disgrace to all of us interns!â
Quite a few of the interns, especially the girls who were jealous of Su Tongxin, started protesting.
âI did not steal it! It really wasnât meâ¦â Faced with accusations and contempt, Su Tongxin tried to defend herself.
