The next day.
After Qiu Xi got up, she found that the three of them were already awake and were busy at their respective seats.
For some reason, Qiu Xi felt a little... guilty?
Fortunately!
No one knew when she was secretly busy!
"Morning, Xiao Xi~"
"Morning~"
"The breakfast bread I bought last night is on the shelf over there. Help yourselves to it with milk."
"Alright, you hurry up and come out too."
"Okay."
After a hasty breakfast, Qiu Xi joined the group of four and took her seat.
Qiu Xi wasn't trying to rush her studies; she just wanted to sort out the miscellaneous things she had accumulated.
Now that the Century Cup had started, she figured she wouldn't be able to stop.
Although the preliminary rounds had just ended yesterday, Teacher Ding had mentioned before that as soon as the preliminary rounds were over, she should be ready for their later training plan.
And from what she understood, the later plan would be quite long, possibly extending all the way to the regional finals.
Because the teacher said that after passing the preliminary rounds, their training plan would be in accordance with the standards for next year's finals.
So she guessed that the talent development plan Teacher Ding had mentioned was about to be put into action for her.
She didn't understand it very well, but from what Master Du had said, it seemed like the teachers were a bit difficult to deal with.
However, these would have to be put aside for now, as they were all things that might not happen for a long time.
What needed to be done currently was Teacher Su's thesis!
And the proposal that she and Liang Yunfei had put aside for a long time, as well as the places to find for Pei Wen to settle down and for the company to take root.
These weren't too difficult. Uncle Shen had said that when Pei Wen arrived, he would find someone to come along with him to be assistants for the two of them.
Besides this, there was also the Song Corporation, through which they could seek connections.
It was better to use it than not, and this would save her a lot of trouble.
Lastly, there was the matter of certifications.
Currently, there were two: CATTI and TOEFL.
She wasn't in a hurry for the TOEFL; she had taken enough exams to be confident in this one.
As for CATTI, the computer-based test had some differences, and she needed to spend time understanding them.
What was easy was that this was a Level 1 exam. What wasn't easy was that she had to try her best to bring her entire dormitory along, especially since there were rewards.
"......"
Finally, Qiu Xi looked at the few things she had written down. Although the word count wasn't much, it was quite tiring to actually do them.
Well... she also had a reading plan.
Judging by the system's arrangements, it would probably be soon.
"Hoo!"
After thinking for a long time and confirming that nothing was missed, Qiu Xi put away the notebook.
Then she took out her phone and, one by one, told her master and Teacher Ding about her competition yesterday.
Finally, she didn't forget to check on her busy boyfriend.
Ever since Nan Hua was caught by Teacher Zhong, his days at school were almost spent living in the laboratory.
As it happened, when he saw Qiu Xi's message, he had just arrived at the laboratory.
Before even entering, he saw the smiling Zhong Bapi.
That's right!
The demon's new superimposed title...
With the double buff of demon plus skinflint, Nan Hua had no choice but to be impressed.
"Teacher Zhong, why are you here so early?"
"Young people should have spirit!"
Nan Hua stared at Teacher Zhong for a long time, "I don't want to start naming my hair at such a young age~"
This was something he had discovered one noon during a break.
Old Zhong, this person, actually followed the example of young girls and named his sparse hair.
He even took meticulous care of it, and sometimes mumbled about it.
Like, "Little Hua Hua, hang in there!"
"Little Cheng Cheng, I can't do without you!"
"Little Jin Jin, you are my life!"
"Little Rong Rong, my handsomeness depends on you!"
...
In short, no two words were the same.
Zhong Chenghua, "......"
This was something he had never expected!
This student was no good!
Was it easy for an old man?
It wasn't easy for him!
It was good enough that he wasn't bald!
It was just a bit sparse!
Each and every one of them!
I think this guy and that Old Yan are a pair of baldies!
"Old Zhong, I know, you don't need to worry too much."
"If all else fails, let's just drink more black sesame paste."
"......"
He even knew that he secretly drank black sesame paste...
Did he have any secrets left?
"You brat, why aren't you going in quickly!"
"Don't think I don't know you're sneakily looking at your girlfriend's messages!"
"......"
"Old Zhong, it seems you know quite a lot!"
Nan Hua smiled. Before Old Zhong could react, he had already entered the laboratory.
God knows what it felt like for him, a finance major, to be in the laboratory from time to time...
"Hey!"
Zhong Chenghua looked at the young man's retreating figure, feeling very displeased!
It was infuriating!
And he couldn't even scold him!
After muttering for a long time, he finally lowered his hand, which he had already raised.
For the sake of his hair!
He needed to feel at ease!
After a while, he also entered with a smile.
At worst, he would just add another cup of work!
After all, the old man wasn't short of money!
...
In the dormitory, Qiu Xi laughed for a while after seeing Nan Hua's message.
Only after there was no more news from him did she put down her phone.
Master and Teacher Ding had both replied.
Master's suggestion was for her to continue training with Teacher Ding and only return on the weekend if she had time.
As for Teacher Ding, after knowing her results, besides being happy, he urged her to find time to visit him.
He said that he had already prepared a lot of materials and was just waiting for this moment.
Qiu Xi felt the "weighty" affection emanating from Xiao Xi.
There was no choice but to go, and to go early!
So Qiu Xi decided to go that afternoon.
...
"Xiao Xi, Xiao Feifei, do you have time?"
"What's up?"
Qiu Xi, who had just made her decision, was about to take a break when she heard Song Dairao's voice.
"The voice-acting video by Yan Yan and me has been edited. We wanted to ask for your suggestions and, incidentally, have you listen to our voice acting."
The two of them hadn't officially started practicing yet, but they wanted to try it out first, get suggestions from the two of them, and then practice accordingly.
Qiu Xi nodded, "I can. I've just finished my work."
Liang Yunfei followed, "Yes, no problem."
"Great!"
"Come quickly!"
