403 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System

# Chapter 403: Little Girl, Good Luck... Su Qi's three wives were momentarily stunned upon hearing what Su Qi said. Internship? Why would a sophomore need to intern? Normally, wouldn't students from Su University intern in their senior year? Besides, with their partner’s teaching capability, is interning even necessary? If she were the principal, Wang Zijin thought, she would definitely not let Su Qi leave Su University. Anyone who has seen Su Qi’s livestreaming knows she is a talent. An Ning, owning several shops in Su City, pondered and asked, "Su Qi, what kind of internship are you considering? How about I offer you a managerial position at one of my stores?" Upon hearing her wife An Ning’s offer, Su Qi felt a warmth in her heart. She sensed her wife's deep affection and care but ultimately shook her head decisively. After all, she had no clear concepts about managing a store. Su Qi figured she could handle being a salesperson, maybe. But as a manager, the shop would meet its demise sooner or later. She thought it over before frankly stating: "I’d like to intern at Sister Wang Yun’s stock trading company. I’ve been studying some knowledge about stock trading recently." An Ning and Wang Zijin were slightly taken aback at Su Qi's words. Stock trading was a mandatory course for finance students, and as finance majors themselves, they hadn't even considered getting into stocks yet. And here their computer-illiterate partner wanted to enter the world of stocks—it was almost unbelievable. Xiao Xiaoxiao, who was always on campus and knew nothing about stocks, didn’t even understand the concept of internships. She merely blinked her clear, lively eyes, looking at Su Qi. Seeing the puzzled looks on her three wives' faces, Su Qi thought for a moment and then opened her computer to display the stock numbers. An Ning and Wang Zijin were astonished to see a seven-figure profit. Was Su Qi really this skilled in stock trading? Xiao Xiaoxiao, unlike the finance majors An Ning and Wang Zijin, couldn’t discern the profit figures but she noticed Su Qi's total assets. Upon seeing the number at 11.86 million, she was so surprised that her mouth formed a small 'O'. Witnessing Xiao Xiaoxiao’s adorable reaction, Su Qi picked up a 'White Rabbit' candy from the table and popped it into her mouth. At the same time, she also basked in the admiring gazes of her wives. After taking in her partner's earnings, Wang Zijin was amazed, yet she couldn’t help but ask the most puzzling question: "Su Qi, why do you need to intern right after the academic year begins? Even if you want to earn money, there’s no need to rush." Faced with Wang Zijin's query, Su Qi found it difficult to explain. Was she in a hurry? Yes, she was. With only 50 days left until the system’s stipulated collection deadline, she still needed around 90 million. She couldn't disclose the system's prize money to her wives. After pondering, Su Qi said: "Well, during the holidays, I discussed with Wang Yun..." Before finishing the sentence, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, almost blurting out 'Wang Yun my wife'. She quickly corrected herself: "During the holidays, Sister Wang Yun mentioned that I could intern at her company. I agreed, wanting to learn about their stock trading model. About a month’s learning should suffice." An Ning and Wang Zijin instinctively felt the urge to object to their partner's reasoning. Having grown up closely with Wang Yun, they were well-aware of her cunning nature. Both had suffered her tricks numerous times since childhood. The thought of the manipulative Wang Yun spending every day working closely with their partner concerned them—they feared Wang Yun would consume her completely. But before they could voice their concerns, Su Qi interjected: "Wang Zijin, An Ning, and Xiao Xiaoxiao, you’re all so incredible. I need to work hard to keep up with you and not get left behind!" Hearing her words, Wang Zijin and An Ning felt a warmth in their hearts. Though the two were capable of supporting Su Qi indefinitely, love is ultimately about mutual effort and growth. Seeing their partner so driven, neither could find the words. Moreover, whatever Su Qi wanted to pursue was her decision. They both knew, despite Su Qi’s usual compliance, a strong sense of self resided within. Chatting with Yue Ranyang during her college application debacle made that evident. Wang Zijin and An Ning might be Su Qi’s wives, but they didn’t want to restrict her under the pretense of love, despite having strong reservations about "Sister Wang Yun." Nonetheless, Wang Yun’s company was the safest choice for them. Given their partner's stunning beauty—in fact, calling her city-breathtaking wasn’t an exaggeration—in the workplace, An Ning and Wang Zijin knew there would always be lewd advances from supervisors. Though Su Qi’s emotional intelligence had improved, distancing herself from her previous introverted nature, Wang Zijin and An Ning still couldn’t shake their concern. They worried Su Qi, despite her progressed emotional intelligence, wasn’t much smarter than Xiao Xiaoxiao when it came to certain things. Thus, if she interned at Wang Yun’s company, where Wang Yun was a supervisor, they could at least ensure she wouldn’t fall prey to unscrupulous men. As for worrying about Wang Yun making a move on Su Qi, being a social butterfly, Wang Zijin quickly devised a solution. It was really simple: they just needed to pick Su Qi up from work every day. After all, Wang Yun wouldn’t make a move during work hours, right? Once they resolved this hidden issue, Wang Zijin said: "Su Qi, working at Sister Yun’s company is fine. But you absolutely have to stay in the dorm at night!" Su Qi agreed, nodding swiftly, adding: "There’s a direct bus, the 126, from the school gate to the company, plus a subway station nearby as well." Hearing her beautiful partner earnestly mention taking public transport, An Ning couldn’t help but envision a scene of her delicate partner being harassed by sweaty commuters. She shuddered and said, "Su Qi, wait for either me or Zijin to pick you up after work!" Touched by her wife An Ning’s offer and Wang Zijin’s nodding agreement, Su Qi felt heartened. Yet, aware of how busy her two wives already were, she didn’t wish to add more burden to their days. Shaking her head, she said, "No need, you both have enough on your plates. I can manage!" At this point, Xiao Xiaoxiao, who had been silent all along, brightened at Su Qi’s words and suggested, "Then let me pick up Sister Su. That way, An Ning and Zijin can rest easy!" The room fell silent at these words. An Ning and Wang Zijin could already imagine a scenario where Xiao Xiaoxiao, sent to fetch Su Qi, got snatched away by some wrongdoer. Finally, Wang Zijin gently patted Xiao Xiaoxiao’s little head, explaining: "Xiaoxiao, you’ve embarked on the path to study medicine, where would you find the time!" And it was true. Wang Zijin wasn’t merely brushing off Xiao Xiaoxiao; she genuinely understood the demands of a medical career. Coming from a family with a hospital, she recalled her brother Wang Zicheng’s struggles, his ongoing exhaustive academic efforts—weary as a dog seemed an apt description. Gently patting Xiao Xiaoxiao’s head, she offered, "Little girl studying medicine, good luck to you."
