Xiao Xiao: Thanks to you guys, this lucky mascot is in a great mood!
Guo Qi: You're welcome~
Guo Qi: Just consider it an extra gift from us yesterday~
Xiao Xiao: ...
Just you guys keep smiling!
I don't believe it! With a different person this year, the situation will be the same as yours, that bad!
Thinking this with a defiant spirit, Xiao Xiao sped up her task processing.
She planned to try and catch up on today's tasks in the morning, and after the afternoon break, she would discuss the temporary task with Qiu Xi.
Qiu Xi was unaware of the commotion happening here, as she had already started reviewing the documents in her hands.
Since all her tasks for the day were finished, she wasn't in a hurry to leave now that she had new work. She would plan her departure for the afternoon after assessing the situation.
...
After the afternoon break -
"Qiu Xi, I'm done here, I can cooperate with you now." Xiao Xiao strictly followed Sister Tong's instructions; for this temporary task, she was to follow Qiu Xi's lead from beginning to end.
Xiao Xiao had no objections to this. She understood her own capabilities; she could only handle as much as she could manage.
Besides, she understood Qiu Xi very well. Although this temporary task was indeed difficult, as Sister Tong had said, if she could complete it smoothly and exceptionally well with Qiu Xi, her income this year would be significantly higher.
No one would refuse more money, at least she wouldn't!
Qiu Xi, while tidying up the documents on her desk, replied without looking up, "Okay, you go to the conference room first. I'll tidy up here and then join you."
"Alright, I'll head over to find you then." Seeing that there was nothing she could help with, Xiao Xiao grabbed her notebook and left.
"Okay."
Xiao Xiao sat alone in the conference room and didn't wait long before Qiu Xi walked in with two small stacks of documents.
"You're here."
Qiu Xi nodded, "Mhm."
She then walked towards Xiao Xiao, placed the items down, and handed Xiao Xiao a document she had just printed out not long ago.
"This is the material, along with some content I organized this morning. Here's a copy for you. After we're done, you can take it back to study."
"Okay, thanks~" Xiao Xiao took one of the small stacks of documents.
"Mm."
After sitting down, Qiu Xi immediately opened her laptop.
"Xiao Xiao, these are some key work points I've just summarized. The first point is what we need to complete today, and tomorrow's is this."
"Sister Tong should have mentioned it to you, right? We need to report daily for the next five days..."
"Yes, she did."
Xiao Xiao was indeed aware of this.
This morning, besides emphasizing that she should follow Qiu Xi's instructions completely, Sister Tong had also mentioned this point.
Actually, she was quite surprised when she heard it. There had never been such an "unnecessary" step before.
She didn't know why this requirement was added this year...
However, since Sister Tong had said it, she must have had her reasons, so she nodded profusely at the time.
Now, she had a slight understanding, but not much.
Still, she would just listen...
"It's good that you know. Then let's begin."
Seeing that Xiao Xiao had no issues, Qiu Xi nodded with a smile, ready to start their first meeting discussion.
...
"Mhm... Did you understand everything I said?"
Looking at Xiao Xiao diligently taking notes, Qiu Xi paused at the end to check in.
Xiao Xiao nodded while writing, "Yes, don't worry, I understand."
Having been a private for so long, although there was still a distance to becoming a general, she understood these basic soldier tasks.
"Alright then, shall I continue?"
Just the last point remaining, and they would be done.
"Yes, please speak, I have no problems."
"Okay."
"...That's all I have to say for today. If you have anything to add, feel free to continue."
After explaining her thoughts to Xiao Xiao, Qiu Xi looked up at her.
"Mhm, you've explained it very well. I have nothing to add. Regarding communication, when can we start contacting them?"
"I've already considered that. I'll look into it when I get back today. If everything goes smoothly tomorrow morning, we can start in the afternoon. If our efficiency is good, we might even start in the morning."
"Mhm, then I have nothing else."
Qiu Xi's considerations were much more detailed than hers. She had nothing more to say.
"Then let's pack up and get back to work."
"Okay."
However, she still had some finishing touches to her own work. She wasn't sure if she could finish them in time. If not, she might have to work overtime...
The thought of overtime instantly made Xiao Xiao's slightly cheerful face fall.
Thinking about the entire week ahead being like this made her feel uneasy all over...
"Oh, that... if your work isn't finished, you can postpone it. You can work on mine when you get back."
"If there's anything you don't understand, you can call me anytime."
Seeing Xiao Xiao's expression, Qiu Xi spoke at the right moment.
"Okay!" Xiao Xiao immediately brightened up after hearing that.
"Thanks, Xiao Xi~"
This way, she could leave earlier!
Even though it was all work, working from home was definitely more comfortable than sitting in the office!
Instantly, Xiao Xiao's good impression of Qiu Xi soared. Having a colleague like this was truly comforting~
"It's nothing."
After saying that, the two of them walked out of the conference room.
Qiu Xi, after briefly tidying up all her affairs, left for home early with the few tasks she had to attend to.
As for working overtime... she would continue doing it at home, so it didn't count as being in the office~
...
"Xiao Xiao, are you sure the two of you were assigned a temporary task?"
The person next to them, watching Qiu Xi easily slip away with a smile on her face, couldn't help but doubt.
Previously, anyone who received a temporary task was busy from morning till night, wishing they could live in the company 24 hours a day...
How did it become like this for Qiu Xi?
They were puzzled...
Xiao Xiao squinted and nodded, "Yes~"
"Genuine deal~"
As she said that, Xiao Xiao also packed her things and walked out.
"Hey~"
"Why are you leaving too?"
This was unreasonable!
Weren't the two of them supposed to stay here and work until dawn?
"We're leaving because we're done with our work~"
Uncharacteristically, Xiao Xiao skipped out of the office today.
Sister Tong was right!
Capable people never wasted time on overtime!
Just like Qiu Xi~
She wasn't working overtime!
La la la la la la~
The entire office was left with question marks...
Why did they leave?
