"Xiao Hua, your mother and I are going out. We don't know when we'll be back. If you get hungry, remember to find Auntie. No need to wait for Xiao Xi."
Nan Hua, who had just sat down on the sofa, heard his own mother say this to him.
If he remembered correctly, it was just shortly after his mother had woken up.
Was she planning to take him out for the day and not come back?
Did the vacation he had given himself for the past two days turn out to be for nothing?
Qiu Xi followed Chu Sheng, smiling and adding, "Ah Hua, Auntie Chu and I are going for beauty treatments. After we're done, we'll go pick up some things for the house. Since you don't like it, I won't take you."
"..."
You didn't even ask me, how did you know I wouldn't like it?
Although I actually don't really like it...
"We're leaving now, bye~"
"Son, take care!"
After speaking, the two of them, like close girlfriends, grabbed their bags and left.
"..."
Alright, Grandpa was right, he was just a little pitiable!
So, what was the point of taking a vacation!
He immediately picked up his phone, which was placed nearby, and sent out a bunch of messages.
"No more vacation, preparing to get to work!"
"???"
"???"
"???"
"Young master, don't think you're the boss, I won't dare to speak to you!"
Zhao Huasheng, who had just opened his eyes, saw this message. His mind was still fuzzy, but his voice message had already been sent.
"Do you dare?"
"Do you really dare?"
"Then tell me one."
"..."
"I don't dare!"
"I'll get up immediately..."
"What's wrong? Didn't you say you were taking two days off?"
"Yeah, aren't you spending time with your girlfriend?"
Yun Yi and Ling Shengyi were a bit confused. He had arranged this several days in advance, saying he would continue after the break.
But now, so early in the morning, long before lunch, he was suddenly deciding to get back to work?
"Don't mention it."
"My little girlfriend is with my mom..."
"?!?!"
"Impressive!!!"
"Alright, are you coming or not?"
"Coming! We must come!"
"Be there immediately."
Poor kid~
Only their brothers were here to accompany him.
...
Women never complain about being tired when shopping, especially when everything is bought for themselves.
After a whole day, Qiu Xi and Auntie Chu had bought all the planned items, and they were just waiting for the merchants to deliver them.
"Auntie Chu, it's all thanks to you. We planned to finish this in two days, but we got it all done today."
Although she was tired, Qiu Xi was still very happy.
This meant she could just relax for the next two days.
Once the items arrived, they would be stacked up, and they could deal with them when her parents arrived.
Indeed, everything was well-arranged.
"What's there to it? It's just that no one accompanies me now. I used to love shopping too."
It's just that after express delivery became popular, she didn't like going out as much.
"Alright, now that everything is done, let's go get something to eat, and then we'll head back."
"Okay."
...
"Uncle Chen, where is Xiao Hua?"
After Chu Sheng and the other returned, they looked around but couldn't find Nan Hua, so they asked the butler. "Madam, right after you and Miss Qiu left, Young Master also left. He hasn't returned yet."
"That kid, at this hour, why is he still out? Didn't he say he was resting for two days!"
Chu Sheng knew a little about what her son had been doing lately and supported him.
But his little girlfriend was here, so why did he run off like that!
"..."
If Nan Hua knew what his mother was thinking now, he would probably be so angry he'd faint.
"He'll probably be back soon."
"Mhm."
Thinking about it, Chu Sheng turned to Qiu Xi and smiled, "Xiao Xi, you must be tired from today. Why don't you go back to your room and rest? Auntie won't disturb you anymore."
Qiu Xi nodded, "Auntie Chu, I'm going to lie down then. You rest well too."
"Okay~"
...
However, as soon as Qiu Xi returned to her room, she received a call from Su Yihua.
"Teacher Su, it's so late, is there something you're calling about?"
Su Yihua had been busy all day, and with the project about to start, he was calling all his students one by one.
He could have sent messages, but some things needed to be communicated directly to save him trouble later.
"I'm just calling to talk about the project internship."
"I heard from your Master Ding that you were away. Are you back now?"
"Yes, I arrived yesterday."
"Okay, then prepare yourself well."
"Our project, strictly speaking, isn't a formal academic project. It's commercial in nature, so the burden will be even heavier."
"After all, besides research, we are aiming for investment from them, so we must handle this matter properly."
"Mhm."
Qiu Xi, on this end, had nothing else to say but nod and hum.
"Oh, and one important thing, this is outsourced work, so we have to deal with the clients ourselves. Have you kept up with your spoken English recently?"
"Teacher Su, when it comes to making a living, how could I fall behind? You can rest assured."
Qiu Xi's reply was very confident. While she wouldn't dare to call herself a professional in this area, she was certainly capable.
"Good! I believe you too, Teacher. So, in the next few days, read more foreign books and periodicals to avoid being flustered later."
"Okay, I'll remember that."
"Alright, I'll notify you then. Come to school to gather."
"Okay."
"Beep!"
"Task issued: Successfully complete this practical project. Reward: 10,000 cash, Language Depth Environmental Adaptation Training x1."
As soon as the call ended, the task arrived.
"Xiao Hua, what is this 'Language Depth Environmental Adaptation Training' reward?"
"Xiao Xi, you're quite lucky lately. You've unlocked new knowledge."
"This Language Depth Environmental Adaptation Training is something we independently developed based on big data. It's suitable for language learners like you, especially those studying translation, to further improve."
"..."
Hearing you speak is like hearing you speak.
"What you said is redundant. You need to explain it to me..."
"You really have a good brain."
"Just like some of you who are learning translation now, in order to adapt flexibly to various situations and maintain your composure without being affected by external factors, when you train, your mind often wanders, sometimes to many things."
"For example, when listening to lectures while going up and down stairs, you also have to count the steps, or naturally remember conversations around you."
"In short, this training is meant to cultivate a sharp and composed mind, one that remains unfazed by changes."
