As soon as they returned to school, the two headed towards the girls' dormitory building.
After Nan Hua helped Qiu Xi deliver her luggage, he left only after watching her enter the dormitory building.
Qiu Xi didn't have time to tidy up when she got back, because as soon as she had gotten herself ready, Yu Xinxin started urging her.
They were supposed to see their teacher first, and after seeing the teacher, there would be a small interview with the department's news department.
So she had to leave...
"Xiao Xi, over here~"
Seeing the person waving from twenty meters away, Qiu Xi quickened her pace.
"Xinxin."
"You're finally here, let's go quickly." Yu Xinxin was quite anxious.
The teacher said nine o'clock, shouldn't they be a little earlier?
Clearly... not all students were like Qiu Xi, who frequented the office...
So while Qiu Xi wasn't in a hurry at all, Yu Xinxin was quite anxious.
"I think the department is not only gossipy, but also quite boring..."
Qiu Xi turned her head, her eyes widening slightly, "..."
Wasn't this girl extremely anxious inside?
Why was she still complaining out loud?
It seemed that what she thought in her heart and what she showed on the surface... were very different!
"Phew~"
"We're here!"
Qiu Xi nodded, "Mm, let's go in."
With that, the two knocked on the door, and after hearing a response, they walked in.
"It's you two~"
"We teachers were just talking about it!"
"Just come over and sit down."
The person speaking happened to be Yan Baitao.
"Teacher Yan, hello everyone," Qiu Xi greeted with a smile and walked straight over.
Yu Xinxin behind her followed Qiu Xi's lead, greeted them, and walked over together.
At this moment, a few teachers looked at each other and said they had class soon, and then left.
Suddenly, only Lao Yan, who was sitting in his position, and Teachers Huang and Zhang next to him remained in the office.
Teacher Huang and Teacher Zhang were the ones who were going to be interviewed with the two of them later.
As for Lao Yan, Qiu Xi hadn't expected that the teacher they were supposed to meet early in the morning would be someone she was most familiar with.
"Teacher Yan, what are we here for?" Qiu Xi, who was unsure of the situation, could only speak up.
"Look at my memory!" Yan Baitao patted his head and took out two pieces of paper, "You two come over and fill out this form."
The two walked closer and took the papers.
Qiu Xi held it up and looked at it; it was an application form.
It was also an application form for the prize money of this competition.
Qiu Xi, "..."
What did she think it was!
Qiu Xi, who no longer lacked money, had no reaction after looking at it, and her eyes even twitched slightly.
Then she glanced at Lao Yan in his seat, picked up a pen, and started filling it out.
Her speed was so fast, she wasn't worried about any problems, and then the money wouldn't arrive.
In sharp contrast was Yu Xinxin next to her.
At this moment, Yu Xinxin was not just a little bit different from when she first arrived.
Her mouth was smiling, and it was obvious from her expression that she was in a super good mood, probably floating, where was the hint of disdain she had complained about on the way!
Her two eyes were glued to the paper, and her eyeballs seemed to be filled with capital letters!
There was money to be had?!!
Mm!
The one who complained earlier wasn't her!
She was a good student!
She never complained privately!
So Qiu Xi, who finished filling it out before her, turned to look at the person who had changed her demeanor and found it amusing.
She didn't expect that after her cold persona collapsed, she was still a little greedy for money!
"Teacher, we've filled it out."
"Mm." Hearing this, Yan Baitao stopped the conversation between the two teachers and took the two application forms to look at them.
"Okay, no problem."
"I'll submit this application form this afternoon, but it might take some time for the money to arrive, probably May or June, so don't be anxious or worried."
Thinking about the process from approval to disbursement by finance was a bit long, so Yan Baitao explained a bit more to the two of them, so they wouldn't be impatient and ask later.
"Got it, Teacher."
Qiu Xi didn't care much, and Yu Xinxin didn't feel any urgency about this sudden extra money, so they were both quite relaxed.
"Mm, that's good."
"Teacher Huang, Teacher Zhang, you two take them with you. I'm done here."
"Okay, then we won't disturb you." The two teachers smiled and got up.
"Goodbye, Teacher."
Qiu Xi and Yu Xinxin followed behind, said goodbye, and walked out.
"Teacher, do we need to do anything for this interview later?"
Although she had heard from the teacher yesterday when she returned, they actually didn't know anything yet.
Teacher Huang smiled, "It's fine, it's just taking photos and asking a few questions, you don't need to worry."
"Yes! You just need to tell the truth, and it will be over quickly," Teacher Zhang smiled and added a few words, looking at the slightly nervous Yu Xinxin.
"Okay!"
With that, the group arrived at the news department office.
"Let's go."
Following the two teachers, they walked in.
"Teacher Huang, Teacher Zhang, you're here~"
Before their feet had fully entered, the people inside had already stood up and were preparing to walk over.
"Teachers, and two senior sisters, please sit here first."
"We'll adjust the equipment, and it'll be ready soon."
With that, someone next to them specifically brought over a few cups of water.
"And this is the interview process for later. Teachers and senior sisters can take a look first."
The matter came quite suddenly, so this interview was decided on the fly, and it could only be this way.
Besides the photos they were going to take now, they would also have to ask these two teachers and the two senior sisters next to them for photos in the later news report...
"Okay, thank you."
So, while the equipment was being adjusted, Teacher Huang and the four of them briefly looked at the process booklet in their hands.
It was indeed quite simple, and the questions were about what they had expected.
After Yu Xinxin finished reading it, she breathed a sigh of relief and could even chat with Qiu Xi.
Because questions like why they participated in this competition, what they thought of the competition process, what were their feelings about winning such a good ranking, what were their future plans, or do you have any good learning methods, etc., really didn't require much thought.
Not to mention Qiu Xi, Yu Xinxin felt that the news department was just going through the motions, and the work was done.
Not to mention, although it was a bit cliché, it was classic, and the chance of making mistakes was extremely small.
So, going through this entire process was a win-win outcome for both parties.
Perhaps this was why the interview was temporary, but they weren't afraid of any problems, and even the process was informed on the spot...
"Teacher, we're ready here, can you see if it's okay?"
It only took a short while, and the people who were adjusting the equipment were done.
"Mm." Teacher Huang nodded, looked at the two students, "You two go ahead, don't delay."
Seeing that Teacher Huang clearly wanted them to finish early, Qiu Xi didn't refuse.
"Okay."
It's like this when you've been around teachers for a long time; you don't have to worry about falling into a pit someday.
So Qiu Xi smiled and walked up first, very confidently.
Having seen the scene, with so many people, she was still smooth and fluent, and her answers were watertight, which could be described as perfect.
Even the person taking photos next to them found it incredible; they rarely encountered such an easy job.
Even when it was easy before, there were times when they stumbled, which was why they chose to take photos instead of recording videos.
However, looking at the senior sister in front of them, they regretted it a little; such a walking "traffic," they should have known not to be lazy and take shortcuts...
But since the photos were already taken and the process was completed, regretting it was too late...
After Qiu Xi came down, it was Yu Xinxin's turn. Because she was the second, she had some psychological preparation, so the whole process went smoothly.
After both of them were done, the teacher directly told them to leave and that they would be contacted later if there were any problems.
"Okay, goodbye to both teachers."
With that, the two of them walked directly out of the office.
