She took a closer look and realized that the man in the black suit was Clarence!

God, why would the boss be here?

Ning Yao’s heart was beating wildly… Yesterday, she had told him that she would be studying in school this morning, only to see Clarence here.

From the looks of it, Clarence was probably the sponsor of this competition, so he was seated near the judges’ seats.

Ning Yaowas a little nervous at first, but then she thought about it – she was wearing a pair of goggles and there were so many people in the competition, so there was no way that Clarence would be able to recognize her.

When the game started, Ning Yaodidn’t have the mood to think about anything else and began to focus on the game.

Compared to last year, there were more people participating in the competition this year and quite a few of them were pretty skillful people.

Some of the other athletes were all tall and fit, but Ning Yaowas petite like a doll.

Due to the difference in size, the athletes around her didn’t take her seriously, obviously thinking that she wouldn’t pose any competition.

At the referee’s command, the athletes sprinted off into the water.

The moment she jumped in, Ning Yaowas like a mermaid in the water. Her small body contained strength that was not inferior to that of professional athletes and her speed was even more amazing.

In the end, she got placed third.

Ning Yaowas satisfied with her results as she waved to the children who had come to cheer her on.

There was not much difference between the prize money for the top few places. The only main difference would be for first prize, where the winner would receive more attention and become the National Sports Ambassador of the city.

However, Ning Yaodidn’t want to be famous, so she didn’t care if she couldn’t get first place.

It was fine as long as she could get the prize money.

Just like last year, she was going to keep a portion of the bonus as her start-up capital and donate the other portion to the orphanage.

She walked off the podium and greeted Teacher Xiao Zhang from the orphanage. She also bought various flavors of ice cream for the children. It was almost noon by the time she took the subway back to school.

When she returned to school, Bai Jie was still studying hard for her master’s degree in the library while Xu Na was putting on makeup. She must have had a date.

Song Ying was lying on the bed playing games when she suddenly thought of something. Then, she turned to ask Ning Yao, “Ning Yao, you’ve been going out so early recently. Did you find an internship?”

Ning Yaosmiled in embarrassment. “Yes, Glory World Corporation has hired me.”

A single stone caused a thousand ripples. Song Ying shouted exaggeratedly, “What? Why didn’t you tell me such great news? We have to have a big meal to celebrate! So, have you met Clarence? Is he as handsome as the rumors say? Did he really come out of the closet?”

Ning Yaodidn’t expect that there were rumors of Clarence coming out of the closet.

She thought to herself, ‘He didn’t come out of the closet, but he does have something to hide…”

When she heard that Ning Yao had entered glory World, Xu Na frowned. She felt a sense of injustice in her heart as she said, “She’s just an intern. Maybe she’s just going to serve tea. What’s there to be happy about? I guess Ning Yaois too embarrassed to tell us the details, right?”

But before Ning Yao could speak, Song Ying said angrily, “What do you mean by that? Even if you want to go in to pour some tea for them, they won’t want you!” After saying that, she realized that her words were not quite right. She hurriedly explained to Ning Yao, “Yaoyao, I didn’t mean to say that you serve tea.”

Xu Na had already put on her makeup. She took a few hot girl photos in front of the mirror and walked past Ning Yao with her hips swaying seductively. Then, she looked at Ning Yaowith disdain. “So what if you’ve found an internship? You’re just a worker. You can’t even afford a decent branded bag. What’s the use of it?”

With that, Xu Na left with a smile.

Song Ying was furious. “What’s she showing off for? She didn’t buy her own bag! Ning Yao, you’re just too good-tempered, aren’t you angry at anything she says?”

Ning Yaoopened the wardrobe and began to pick out the clothes for the afternoon. “What’s there to be angry about? Do I need to prove anything to her? She’s not my boss and she’s not the person I like. I don’t care how she sees me.”

Song Ying thought about it carefully and felt that what Ning Yao said made sense. Then, she noticed that Ning Yaohad already changed her clothes.

She was wearing a simple crop top that accentuated her waist while a pair of matching blue loose-fitting wide-legged pants elongated her well-proportioned legs. She looked pretty and cute.

Although Xu Na would often mock Ning Yao for not wearing any branded clothes, Song Ying felt that Ning Yao’s clothes complimented her well. She didn’t know how to imitate her even if she wanted to.

Ning Yao’s sense of fashion was really amazing!
