陈天倾第一次见到苏轻寒，是在公司新来的实习生培训上。她 rushes into the room with a stack of folders, nearly tripping over her own feet. The room was already buzzing with nervous energy as the new trainees tried to look sharp but mostly just looked awkward.

"You're late," the HR lady announced, her voice sharp and clipped. "And you, I see, are苏轻寒."

Slightly flustered,苏轻寒 mumbled, "Sorry, I got held up."

Chen Tianqing was sitting near the front, easily noticed. He had a reputation for being strict but fair, a reputation only enhanced by his usually impenetrable expression. He didn't say much, just went through the training材料 like he was checking off a list. Most people tried to make a good impression, standing when he passed or offering a small, hesitant smile.

苏轻寒 didn't. She was just focused on the folder in her hands, trying not to fumble. This was her chance, she thought. She'd been out of work for a while, and this internship was her ticket back in. She didn't have time for frivolities like trying to charm the boss.
