Qiu Xi, fresh out of foreign studies university, was unaware of the events unfolding in the office behind her.
She was currently rushing to her second session!
The teachers had agreed that Liu Yuanjin and the other four teachers would conduct the initial training, while Teacher Yan planned to handle the wrap-up work during the last approximately one week.
Therefore, for the past week and more, Qiu Xi’s schedule had been incredibly tight, wishing she could squeeze herself like a sponge.
However, what made life interesting was that all four of her dorm mates were also returning early.
There was no need to mention Liang Yunfei; as a member of Xi Guang and an important pioneer, she had long planned to be with everyone at this crucial juncture.
So, checking the time, as soon as everyone else started returning to work, she immediately bought her ticket and prepared to come back.
As for Song Daiyao, being close by wasn't the main point, but due to her thesis and the final wrap-up work with Shen Yan, she arranged with Shen Yan that they would both end their vacation early and begin working in earnest.
However, Liang Yunfei stayed at the company, and Shen Yan, following Song Daiyao's advice, went to the Song family's residence.
Although the group wasn't living together, a small early reunion was still possible.
...
In the blink of an eye, Qiu Xi’s training was nearing its end.
Although time had passed quickly, many amusing incidents had occurred during this period.
For instance, Teacher Jin Qiong. This was something Qiu Xi hadn't expected. After she had already learned that Teacher Yuan Qing was essentially poaching talent, she encountered this stunt pulled by Teacher Jin Qiong.
She openly asked Qiu Xi if she wanted to use a backdoor!
When Qiu Xi heard this, she was stunned for a good half of the day!
After all, Teacher Jin Qiong was previously a top figure in diplomacy. Was it that easy to get a backdoor?
Although Qiu Xi was somewhat excited deep down, she ultimately declined with a heavy heart.
With her current resources, she believed that as long as she worked hard, these wouldn't be distant, unattainable dreams.
Moreover, she had previously discussed these matters with her mentor, and she needed to seriously study and plan them!
So, afterward, her mood remained relaxed and optimistic.
Besides the matter with Teacher Jin Qiong, the other amusing event was happening right now!
Teacher Yan Xingming, who was standing before her, was at the climax of his training stories and insisted on having her name attached to it.
The two had been bickering for over an hour here.
"Little Xi ah~"
"You are such a good child!"
"I'm already so old, and this is my last little wish. Can't you grant it for me?"
Yan Xingming completely lacked his usual cheerful demeanor, acting like a pitiable old man, making pleas.
Qiu Xi was truly helpless!
In her entire life, she had never encountered such a situation!
Even when she met Teacher Ding, it wasn't this much of a stalemate!
It was a true stalemate!
"Teacher Yan, you know!"
"I have my mentor..."
You were just chatting merrily with him before!
Is it appropriate to be poaching his protégé like this now?
Qiu Xi still couldn't understand why Teacher Yan was so persistent!
"Hmph!"
"Teacher Yan, why don't you speak to my mentor directly? As long as he agrees, I won't have any objections!"
She was utterly exhausted!
She felt that if this continued, she would probably be worn out!
"No!" Yan Xingming immediately objected.
If that old scoundrel Du found out about this, would he have any way to survive?
However... it seemed to be too late...
With quick hands, Qiu Xi connected the video call and immediately pointed it towards the Yan teacher beside her.
Poor Yan Xingming, before he could even compose his expression, he was completely exposed.
"Ahem~"
"Old Du ah..."
"No, although it's Chinese New Year, you don't have to be so thorough, do you?" Du Bin on the other end, before receiving specific information, was already enjoying the spectacle.
Such situations were not uncommon!
Look at that expression, and those movements!
If this were 20 years ago, he could have laughed for more than half a year! It made him laugh just thinking about it!
As for now... he still wanted to laugh!
Hahahaha~
"Mentor, Teacher Yan says..."
A long pause...
"Yan Xingming!"
"You shameless wretch!"
"Yan? As expected, that name is better! Ruhua!"
"Du you old dog! Who are you calling names!"
"..."
Qiu Xi, "..."
She should probably leave first. The lethality of this battlefield seemed to be a bit too much...
Thinking this, Qiu Xi quietly backed away, tiptoeing as she ran out.
"Xixi? What's going on in there?"
"Why did you come out?"
Nan Hua, who was as punctual as ever in accompanying Qiu Xi to training today, heard the commotion and felt something was slightly off.
He listened at the door, but before he could grasp anything, she had already come out.
Qiu Xi took a deep breath, waving her hands, "It's nothing, the teachers are just chatting with my mentor, so I came out."
Nan Hua, "..."
Doesn't this situation look a little strange?
However, he wasn't particularly interested in that.
"Are you hungry? Have some bread first."
For the past two weeks, he had adapted exceptionally well to his role as a little follower!
Especially when it came to taking care of her diet!
In his grandfather's words, since she was studying so hard, she must eat well!
And so, the scene that just unfolded...
