Chapter 924: Extra Episode 366: The End Chapter 924: Extra Episode 366: The End Yan Lu’s concerts are rare occasions.

This time, after it ends, no one knows when the next one will be, and it’s not just the A Zone tickets that are difficult to come by, even regular tickets are scarce.

It’s summertime, nearing six o’clock, and the sun hasn’t fully set yet. Alice stares at the lingering sunlight, her gaze drifting down to the tickets in her hand, “Yan, Yan Lu’s concert tickets?”

A Zone ones at that?

“Yeah.” Yang Lin is reviewing Xia Zhuoyu’s suggestions for her paper.

These two tickets were originally prepared for Yong Qi and Alice, but now that Yong Shu had received tickets from Yao Xintian, Yang Lin gave both to Alice.

She’s a loner by nature, with only a few friends. Besides Alice, if anyone else wanted Yan Lu’s tickets, it would only take a word.

The public bus arrives, and Yang Lin, carrying her canvas bag, gets on.

Alice follows behind her, as if floating on a cloud of cotton onto the bus.

Alice really wants to ask where Yang Lin got these tickets from, but with the bus so crowded at the end of the workday, she can’t find the right opportunity to speak up. In the end, she just frantically messages Yang Lin on her phone.

Evening.

Alice posts a message to her social circle.

Alice: “This splendor has finally come my way [image]”
The picture is of two Yan Lu A Zone concert tickets.

She didn’t exclude anyone. In less than a minute, people in Project Team 2’s group at the company started mentioning Alice.

“@Alice?? Yan Lu’s tickets? A Zone???”]
[@Alice, I’m calling you sis now, I bet you’re missing a little sister to carry your bags!]
[…]
A Zone seats are sold to the public and closest to the stage, nearly half as many as B Zone but priced at more than double. Before this, Yao Xintian had given Yong Shu two B Zone tickets for the whole company.

Word about Alice’s two tickets spread like wildfire across the company’s various groups.

At the moment, Yong Shu is still working overtime, checking the reports the manager sent him one by one.

Ever since CEO Yao’s last visit to the company, Yong Shu has been well-regarded by the supervisors. Just as he finishes going through the reports, a message pops up on his WeChat.

It’s from his coworker, with a screenshot.

[Alice: “It’s the tickets @Yang Lin gave me!”]
Coworker: “Yang Lin gave Alice the Yan Lu A Zone tickets?!”]
Coworker: “Even the young miss didn’t get A Zone tickets, right?”]
Seeing this message, Yong Shu pauses. He checks the groups on his phone, and indeed, they are discussing Alice’s two A Zone tickets.

Yong Shu zooms in and confirms they are Yan Lu concert A Zone tickets, but…
How could Yang Lin have them?

He remembers Yao Xintian only had one B Zone ticket herself.

Yong Shu spends the entire evening pondering over this issue with Yang Lin.

The next day at the company.

The topic of conversation among his coworkers is no longer about Miss Yao and Yong Shu, but about Alice’s A Zone tickets, drawing curiosity from people in other departments who come over to see the tickets in Alice’s hands.

In the break room.

A coworker asks Yong Shu, “Could it be that Yang Lin is also the daughter of some rich family?”

“Not possible,” Yong Shu says with certainty as his cup nearly overflows: “She isn’t.”

No one knows Yang Lin’s background better than him.

The coworker blinks, then nods, “True, you and she are from the same hometown.”

Yong Shu secures his cup and heads back to his desk composedly.

**
End of August.

The summer internships are drawing to a close, and the outcomes for each department are about to be announced.

The entire biotech company is undergoing a major clean-up.

In addition, security guards have been assigned to the entrance and various intersections.

With her meal in hand, Alice talks to Yang Lin about the company’s cleaning efforts, “I heard a big shot is coming to the company this afternoon. Seeing how secretive they’re being and how many security guards they’ve prepared, is it the richest man in Jiangjing who’s visiting us?”

Yang Lin, never one for many words, quietly listens to Alice talk.

The whole building is abuzz with speculation about the matter.

After lunch, the announcement for the interns’ official employment is released.

Alice and Yao Xintian are both outstanding interns and are successfully hired.

However, Alice doesn’t pay much attention to her own official employment document, instead carefully studying the company’s announcement, “No way, how could you not be included?”

She checks again and again.

There’s no mention of Yang Lin’s name.

Shocked, she looks toward Yang Lin, “Was there a mistake with the official document? I’ll go talk to the manager!”

“Don’t,” says Yang Lin, lifting her gaze from the paper and reaching out to stop Alice, her tone as calm as always: “It’s okay, I wasn’t planning on staying here anyway.”

Despite Yang Lin’s slender frame, when she reaches out her hand, Alice feels as if immobilized by an iron chain, unable to move.

“Not planning on staying here?” Alice stops, “Is it because of those two?”

Yang Lin pats her arm, unhurried: “No, my coming here was never about the internship.”
