Chapter 180: Chapter 172: Her Support is Mu Shuoqian

The instructor was upright and did not wish to casually eliminate someone, but he had flipped through these dozen test papers thoroughly and still did not find Gu Qili’s name.

"Did you forget to hand it in?" the instructor asked kindly.

"Have you checked inside your folder?" Gu Qili pointed towards the folder that the instructor had been keeping by his side, "Maybe it was clipped inside and you didn’t see it?"

"How could that be possible?" the instructor said with a shake of his head and a smile, while opening the folder in his hands.

Qi Meihui and Luan Yi both showed mocking smiles. Even at this point, she was still deceiving herself. How could her test paper magically appear in the instructor’s folder? Her paper was clearly just...

"How could this be possible?" The same words came from the instructor’s mouth, but now he had an additional folded test paper in his hands, which he hurriedly opened, and indeed, it bore the name Gu Qili.

Gu Qili said with a smile: "Teacher, could it be that you put the test paper here and forgot about it yourself?"

The instructor thought hard but really couldn’t remember, this folder had always been with him, it’s possible that he really put it inside? Moreover, he had long forgotten that Gu Qili once asked for an extra test paper.

The sudden appearance of an extra test paper made Zhu Ping breathe a sigh of relief, while the expressions on Qi Meihui’s and Luan Yi’s faces unnaturally changed.

"How could this possibly be your test paper?" Qi Meihui rushed forward trying to snatch the paper, but the instructor subtly avoided her hand, saying with an upright expression: "This was my oversight, I will correct it now."

"Since Manager Qi says it’s not mine, shall we verify the handwriting?" Gu Qili said, narrowing her eyes towards her.

Qi Meihui panicked internally, and Luan Yi even lost composure and loudly said: "No."

After saying this, everyone else looked at her perplexed. She could only shrink back and remain silent, by now she had guessed that what Qi Meihui did was to change the name on Gu Qili’s test paper to her own. But Qi Meihui had thrown Gu Qili’s notes into the trash, intending for her to perform poorly, would changing it to her own name really be okay?

If they verified the handwriting, the instructor would realize that the test paper previously signed ’Luan Yi’ was exactly the same as the current one from Gu Qili, she wouldn’t commit such a foolish act of self-exposure.

"Forget it." Qi Meihui, with a deeply furrowed brow, looked at Gu Qili who had remained calm and composed from start to finish, her face carrying a serene and aloof expression, strikingly similar to Mu Shuoqian, and the more she looked, the more apparent it became.

Actually, even Gu Qili herself did not realize that her every action was already permeating with the essence of Mu Shuoqian, unknowingly influenced by him.

Shortly after, the instructor finished correcting, revealing a pleased smile, because this was the first perfect score among the many interns he had taught.

Hearing that Gu Qili got a perfect score, everyone felt that this truly reflected her actual level.

Since Gu Qili came in first place, naturally she would not be eliminated, so, the instructor took out the score sheet, glanced at it, and looked around the tension-filled meeting room, his gaze finally falling on Luan Yi.

"Luan Yi." After the instructor said this name, the meeting room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop, Luan Yi’s face suddenly turned ghostly pale, and Qi Meihui’s complexion turned an iron shade of green.

She fiercely looked towards Gu Qili, who had returned to her seat, appearing as if nothing had happened, calm and collected.

Qi Meihui suddenly felt a chill down her spine, feeling as if she had been outmaneuvered.

Everyone’s eyes were on Luan Yi, some sympathetic, some disdainful, others indifferent, and of course, some schadenfreude.

As Luan Yi had always been too ostentatious, constantly mentioning that Qi Meihui was her aunt, many people flattered her but inevitably also felt jealous, now that she was confirmed to be the last, those who were jealous were naturally pleased.

"Auntie, I don’t want to leave, I, I haven’t even started collecting materials yet." Luan Yi panicked, how could it end before it even began? This would be a laughingstock if word got out.

Qi Meihui for a moment did not know what to say, the words she had previously directed at Gu Qili, she was unable to utter a single one now, how could she possibly watch her own niece be eliminated, that would be a slap in her own face.

But in front of so many new employees, she couldn’t go back on her words, otherwise how could she as a manager maintain her authority thereafter?

"Luan Yi, you leave first." Qi Meihui spoke, her tone strained, she signaled Luan Yi with her eyes, meaning for her to leave temporarily and she would figure out a way afterwards.
