Evening.
“Xiao Xi, how was your trip?”
The group had gone out to practice problems in the afternoon and only now had time to discuss this topic.
“It was great, I learned a lot.”
Thinking back, Qiu Xi felt everything had been quite normal.
“Hmm? Nothing interesting at all?”
“I saw someone I’m not very familiar with, and a few interesting old men. Does that count as interesting?”
“It counts! Tell us~”
“Alright, I’ll tell you then.”
Lying on the bed, Qiu Xi narrowed her eyes and began to tell the group.
“Zhen Zhu is really everywhere!”
Last time after the Century Cup, it was the same... kΑnshu伍.ξà
“Yeah, she probably went because of the Century Cup,” Qiu Xi explained.
“But those old men were really interesting~”
They were patient and knowledgeable. Who wouldn’t like such elders and teachers?
Just like Teacher Ding, when they first met, she would often go to the teachers’ apartments. It was so convenient!
If she didn’t understand something, she could ask anytime and get an answer, which was much more efficient than attending class!
“Yes… but is that all that was interesting? We should go to sleep.”
“Sleep, sleep!”
Early morning class at eight tomorrow!
An early morning class for a third-year student was quite tough…
…
“Xiao Xi, let’s go.”
Preparing to head to the company, Liang Yunfei remembered what Qiu Xi had said and asked her to call her when she was ready to leave.
“Coming right up!”
Grabbing her bag and keys, Qiu Xi turned and followed Liang Yunfei out.
“Xiao Xi, Jing Shu will be so happy when you visit.”
“How so?”
“You haven’t been to the company in ages. If you suddenly show up, the busy Jing Shu will surely be delighted!”
“It’s nothing~ I’ll visit more often when I have time.”
Although she aspired to be a hands-off boss, she was still the head of the company, so she couldn’t just not show up.
“That would be great. With you here, this entire floor where we work won’t be so dull anymore.”
When Qiu Xi wasn’t around, she was practically the only one on this floor.
She had previously thought about bringing Jing Shu along to keep her company, but Jing Shu was very strict about rules and never came up.
Furthermore, Chu Lan Zhi was on the floor below, and Pei Wen would always stay in the office if his lab work was done.
Over time, while they stayed put, she was the one who frequently went downstairs.
In the beginning, she genuinely went downstairs to study, but later on, it was simply because she was bored. She found her work efficiency increased when she worked alongside everyone.
If Qiu Xi was willing to come, then she would naturally be happy to stay upstairs.
However, things clearly didn't go as she expected…
Just as she finished speaking, Qiu Xi replied, “That won’t do~”
“It’s enough for me to pop in occasionally. If there’s anything, you should still message or call me.”
Even if she were to visit often, it wouldn’t be now!
Perhaps it would be much later…
Liang Yunfei chuckled in exasperation, “Alright, then let’s see how much later it will be…”
“Don’t worry, you’ll see it!”
…
They chatted all the way until the car drove into the company. Without greeting anyone, they went directly to the floor where Song Jing Shu and the others were.
“Sister Xi!”
It was Song Jing Shu’s surprised voice.
“Why are you here? So suddenly.”
Qiu Xi made a joke and smiled, “What? So excited, afraid I’ll launch a surprise attack?”
“Yes! I’m so afraid!”
“You! You’d better listen to me. If you surprise attack me, I’ll be happy for half a year!”
“…”
How fake she sounded…
“Alright, put away your divine powers and let me in.”
“Sure~ Please come in.” wΑp.kanshu伍.net
Saying that, she led Qiu Xi inside.
Upon entering, a loud voice exclaimed, “Pei Wen, the person you’ve been longing for is here.”
Pei Wen, who was looking at data on his computer, didn’t even look up and mumbled, “I’ve been longing for her, and I didn’t even know it myself…”
He started to say something, then seemed to realize something, but it sounded like he was talking to himself, “I’ve been longing for her… Sister Xi, but wasn’t she attending some conference?”
Well… he hadn’t noticed the two figures at the door.
Qiu Xi, “…”
While I’m away, my employees miss me every day. These employees are truly diligent!
Song Jing Shu was a bit speechless…
This person usually seemed quite smart, so why did he look so foolish today?
Had he been driven silly by the things he was developing recently?
Song Jing Shu didn’t dwell on it for long, as Qiu Xi had already walked in.
“Pei Wen, it hasn’t been long, and yet you miss me so much~” she said with a mischievous grin, not at all like a fairy maiden…
Upon hearing this, Pei Wen immediately reacted and raised his head.
“Sister… Xi?!”
After clearly seeing who it was, Pei Wen stood up directly, his voice a little loud, “It’s about time you came back!”
“I returned a couple of days ago. I happened to be free today, so I came to see.”
“Sister Xi, you’ve come at just the right time. Give me some advice, I’m currently researching this…”
As he spoke, he walked over and pulled Qiu Xi away.
Chu Lan Zhi, who entered later, was still confused, “What is he doing?”
Song Jing Shu spread her hands, “It’s obvious, isn’t it? He’s discussing his latest research with Sister Xi~”
“…”
Sister Xi had just arrived, and he hadn’t even greeted her yet…
“Let’s go, organize the recent data. If Sister Xi has time later, we’ll show it to her.”
Although Sister Xi was usually too lazy to do this when she came, they still had to be prepared. It was their job.
If you want to keep your job, you must always be ready for the boss to inspect your work!
“Coming!”
As expected, Chu Lan Zhi immediately followed suit upon hearing this.
Liang Yunfei, who had watched the entire scene from the side, could only express her helplessness…
No one saw her, a living person standing right there?
