âHello.â
The Ninth Branch was not a place she could be impudent. Jiang Xianrou restrained her temper and looked very polite, but her tone was a little anxious.
âMay I ask if youâve found my name?â
âYour name is Jiang Xianrou?â
âYes.â Jiang Xianrou was bright and beautiful. Her facial features were upright, and her every move exuded the aura of a young lady from a wealthy family. Her natural and unrestrained aura could easily arouse othersâ favorability, especially when she put away the arrogance at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. It was even easier to gain the favor of strangers. âI passed Master Chengâs laboratoryâs initial review previously and even received a message notification.â
She showed him the message.
The other party flipped through the assessment list in his hand and searched again.
From top to bottom, there was no sign of Jiang Xianrouâs name.
In the end, the person looked up at her helplessly. âIâm sorry, your name isnât on the list.â
âHow can that be?â Jiang Xianrou frowned and said anxiously, âPlease check again.â
Seeing that she was so anxious, the man couldnât bear to refuse. He called again and asked if the list was wrong.
The result was the same.
âI checked. This list is the list of candidates for this assessment. Your name isnât on it, so you canât participate in Master Chengâs assessment. Iâm sorry.â
Jiang Xianrou could barely breathe.
Half an hour ago, she had arrived at the Ninth Branch confidently to prepare for the interview, and now she was informed that her name was not on the assessment list.
She even called home and told Tang Wanru and Jiang Yao.
On the one hand, she was waiting for news at the Ninth Branch.
Seeing that the assessment was coming to an end, she wouldnât have a chance if she didnât go in. She refused to give up and asked again, but the result was still the same.
Her name was not on the list!
But she had clearly passed the preliminary hearing. How could her name not be on the list?!
The other party was only a small fry in charge of arranging the assessment order. Jiang Xianrou knew that it would be useless to continue asking.
She took a deep breath and walked out with a livid expression. She walked outside, found her phone, and found Qin Siâs number.
She hesitated for a second, then dialed.
Guessing that it was Qiao Nianâs doing, she had told Tang Wanru and Jiang Yao, but she wasnât sure. In the end, she still had hope that the list was wrong.
Now that the assessment was about to end, she could no longer hold back her temper.
She had to ask!
The call went on.
Jiang Xianrou took a deep breath. Her heart raced and her red lips parted slightly. âHelloâ¦â
The busy tone sounded on the other end of the phone. âIâm sorry, the user you called is busy and canât answer your call for the time being. Please call again later.â
Jiang Xianrou was so angry that her face turned green. Her hand trembled so much that she did not throw her phone away. She closed her eyes and suppressed the anger in them. She found Bo Jingxingâs phone number and called him.
âBeep.â
This time, the phone rang a dozen times. Just as it was about to automatically hang up, it finally connected.
Jiang Xianrou held her breath and immediately called out, âHello, Brother Bo, itâs me, Jiang Xianrou. Do you have time? I want to ask you something.â
Silence ensued from the other end of the line.
Bo Jingxing was silent for a second.
Just as Jiang Xianrouâs heart was about to burst out of her chest, Bo Jingxing finally spoke. âI know what you want to ask me.â
He knew?
Jiang Xianrou opened her mouth. âThe recruitment list for the Ninth Branchâ¦â
âItâs Young Master Yeâs idea,â Bo Jingxing said cautiously. âHe called yesterday and asked me to remove your name.â
