The day after finishing her tasks, Qiu Xi inquired about Su Yihua's availability and, armed with paper and pen, headed to his office again.
"Teacher Su, I'm here."
Su Yihua, seated at his desk, beckoned her over upon seeing Qiu Xi. "Come in and have a seat. It's perfect timing; we have nothing else going on, so let's get this settled."
Qiu Xi nodded. "Okay."
"Teacher, you can start."
Seeing Qiu Xi pull out her stationery with practiced ease made Su Yihua want to smile.
"Alright, you all did a great job this time. No need to be nervous."
"Huh?"
Qiu Xi was confused. Did Teacher Su mean their papers were fine?
"Yes, you've essentially met all my requirements, so you don't need to make any further revisions. I'll handle that."
"I asked you to come over to discuss some minor issues. Otherwise, you wouldn't have needed to come."
Looking at this... junior sister, Su Yihua thought to himself, he should help as much as he could, even though Teacher Du was already very good.
Qiu Xi, unaware of Su Yihua's thoughts, knew that Teacher Su was Professor Ding's disciple, but she couldn't just shamelessly impose.
Besides, it was quite nice to have him as a teacher like this; it was pleasant!
Otherwise, she feared Teacher Su might feel incredibly awkward... calling a junior sister someone who could be his daughter, n generations younger. She herself felt it was a bit strange.
"Okay, Teacher, please tell me. I'll make sure to remember everything."
Su Yihua nodded.
This child was like this; she was better than most talented children he had seen, making her very likable.
With that thought, Su Yihua expertly handed a printed manuscript to Qiu Xi.
"Take this first and look at it later. I'll explain it to you now."
Everything he was going to explain was already written in the manuscript. The point of explaining it again was to help Qiu Xi understand it more thoroughly and to allow her to ask questions directly.
As for giving her this printed copy, it was to encourage her to read it again at home, to deepen her impression, and to review it.
"Okay, thank you, Teacher."
After putting the manuscript away, Qiu Xi listened as Su Yihua went through the issues with her.
About half an hour later, Qiu Xi put away her paper and pen.
"Teacher Su, I'll be heading back now. Thank you so much for your guidance."
Su Yihua waved his hand. "Go ahead."
"Goodbye, Teacher."
With that, Qiu Xi picked up her backpack and left the office.
Upon returning, she wasted no time in sharing the good news with her senior brothers and sisters in their group chat.
After informing them, she didn't forget to send them the notes she had jotted down in her notebook.
She looked like a diligent student sharing her lecture notes with those who had missed class due to other commitments.
Since there were no classes now, everyone in the dormitory, except for Qiu Xi, had gone out.
So, after sending her message, Qiu Xi put away her phone and began practicing with her manuscript.
It was already November, and with only about two weeks left until the regional finals of the Century Cup, she, along with Li Du, had scheduled training sessions, and she also practiced in her free time.
As for the finals training with Teacher Ding, she had already completed all the mentally demanding tasks by the end of October.
Because her teacher had pointed out her shortcomings earlier, she had been practicing extra sessions as required. While she couldn't say she had mastered it yet, her progress was definitely noticeable.
...
Just as Qiu Xi was busy with classes, preparing for exams, and gearing up for the competition, Pei Wen and his team finally arrived.
Upon receiving the news, Qiu Xi and Liang Yunfei sent Pei Wen the address of the property they had purchased, instructing him to take a taxi directly there with his team.
After informing Pei Wen, Qiu Xi timed herself and prepared to head there as well.
"Little Feifei!"
On the way, Qiu Xi couldn't help but exclaim.
"With Pei Wen and his people arriving, we can finally start working. This will also make things much easier."
One could easily sense Qiu Xi's happiness at the prospect of becoming a hands-off manager soon.
Liang Yunfei, listening beside her, couldn't help but chuckle.
"Xiao Xi, only you would think like this."
Indeed!
She understood too much already and was planning everything. Soon, she could delegate tasks to her subordinates, right?
Otherwise, wouldn't she have to do everything herself, falling into the trap of not being able to lead a team and thus having to work herself to death?
Liang Yunfei was merely stating the truth, as she herself wasn't capable of that.
She had already planned that if Qiu Xi couldn't come, she would come here whenever she had time and learn from the experience.
For this purpose, she had recently started looking at cars.
Her dorm mates usually stuck together when they went out, so Qiu Xi's car was enough. But in the current situation, she needed a car of her own.
It wasn't necessary before, but now it was. She considered it preparation for her future internship.
As they chatted along the way, they arrived at their destination.
After parking the car, they walked in.
Qiu Xi had timed their arrival perfectly. Shortly after they arrived, several people walked in through the entrance.
Fearing they might not know their way, Qiu Xi and Liang Yunfei waited for them at the entrance.
"Xiao Xi."
"Sister Xi, Yunfei."
Qiu Xi and Liang Yunfei stared blankly at the two people in front of them.
Then, they called out, "Uncle Shen!"
Could someone tell them why Uncle Shen had come along?
Shen Yingjun, seeing the stunned pair, burst into laughter. "What? Are you shocked speechless?"
"..."
"Uncle Shen, why didn't you tell us you were coming? Does Yanyan know?"
"What's there to say? We've met now, haven't we?"
Liang Yunfei chimed in with Qiu Xi, "Uncle Shen, that's not the same!"
Qiu Xi added, "Exactly! If you had told us, I could have come to pick you up!"
"And Yanyan, I brought her with me."
Shen Yingjun, admitting his fault, raised his hand and touched his nose.
"Haha, well... we can talk about that later. Why don't you show us around first?"
Pei Wen and the others, who had watched President Shen concede defeat, lowered their heads and tried to stifle their laughter.
When he glared at them, they reluctantly nodded in agreement.
With no other choice, Qiu Xi exchanged a glance with Liang Yunfei and then looked at the people before her.
"Alright, let's take everyone to the work area first."
Saying this, Qiu Xi led the way.
Liang Yunfei followed behind, sent a message to Shen Yan, and then caught up.
Fortunately, the two girls were smart and had purchased a security vehicle earlier.
After a few steps, the group drove to the bottom of the office building.
"Alright, this is it. Everyone, go inside first."
As soon as they entered, Qiu Xi didn't show them around. Instead, she directly led Liang Yunfei and a few others to the reception room on the first floor, practically ready to start work on the spot.
"Please have a seat first. We'll introduce ourselves, and then I'll introduce everyone else."
"Sure, sure."
Shen Yingjun had never taken a taxi before this trip, so he was indeed a bit tired.
After sitting down, before Qiu Xi could continue, he began the introductions.
"Xiao Xi, let me introduce them to you first!"
"This is Pei Wen. I don't need to say anything about him; he's your person."
"These are my two star players!"
"This is Song Jingshu, who knows several languages and is a social butterfly."
"And this is Chu Lanzhi, a master's graduate from a prestigious university, an elite manager."
"Jingshu, Lanzhi, this is Qiu Xi. She's your boss from now on."
"Don't be fooled by her young age; she's incredibly capable. You two must work hard for her!"
Whether you can earn big money depends on whether you two are effective!
After hearing this, the two immediately nodded and greeted Qiu Xi, "Hello, Boss. We look forward to your guidance."
Qiu Xi listened as Shen Yingjun briefly introduced the team to her. Although she showed no outward reaction, she knew they were certainly capable.
Moreover, judging by their demeanor and attire, they were not novices.
Despite their youth, they were all individuals who had been honed through two or three years of experience.
"Hello, I'm Qiu Xi. As for being the boss, we're a small team, so let's not be so formal."
"This is Liang Yunfei, my partner. We'll all work hard together from now on!"
"Great!"
After the introductions, Qiu Xi gave Pei Wen and the other two the password and an electronic map, then let them explore on their own.
Shen Yingjun had also intended to follow, but Qiu Xi stopped him, saying they would accompany him later.
"Xiao Xi, I've only invested a little. You two can discuss things yourselves. Just let me tag along and enjoy the excitement."
Qiu Xi, "..."
"Uncle Shen, you're overthinking it. I just wanted to tell you that Yanyan will be here shortly."
"..."
"You two girls, really!"
Shen Yingjun stomped his foot, nowhere to vent his frustration.
Qiu Xi and Liang Yunfei exchanged smiles and said to Shen Yingjun, "Alright, Uncle Shen, we can go now."
"Go! Hurry up and go!"
At this moment, Shen Yingjun truly had no trace of his wealthy CEO demeanor.
He couldn't help it; besides his beloved wife at home, there was this little girl outside.
Thinking about having to explain things when the person arrived, it was really...
If it were any later, he would have gone to her himself...
These two young girls were not going about it the right way!
