Fang Qi seemed a little embarrassed during her first internship at an investment bank.

Suits, high heels, skyscrapers and steel forests - this industry has largely satisfied people's fantasy of elites. Fang Qi also wanted to become an elite and wanted to enter this industry, so internship was the first step. In order to get internship experience in an investment bank, she started preparing early, first interning in a financial position in a well-known company for half a year, and then started applying again when she was about to graduate from college.

"Without internship experience, it is difficult to get an internship opportunity in an investment bank," Fang Qi said helplessly.

However, when she actually entered the investment bank for internship, she found that it was not as glamorous as she had imagined. On the first day of work, Fang Qi wore a slightly mature shirt, but was notified to report to the project site. The team members gathered in a simple meeting room to work.

There were four full-time employees and four interns. Apart from being dressed formally, she felt that anxiety and fatigue were written on everyone's face.

In the conference room, documents piled up like a mountain, and the air was filled with the smell of toner from the copy machine. Fang Qi sat in her seat, trying to fit into this challenging environment. The low starting salary and high-pressure working environment gradually shattered her fantasy of being an "elite" investment banker.
