Downstairs at the company.
"Why don't we go grab a good meal first, then head back?"
They had accomplished something major in just one morning; this definitely called for a good meal.
"Teacher Su, what do you think?"
"Why not! Let's go."
To do a good job, you first need to eat well, of course!
According to the contract, they had one week to complete the task.
Time was rather tight, so Su Yihua decided to just start this afternoon.
It was better to finish early than to drag it out.
...
The school office.
The four, having just finished their meal, were called back by their teacher and were now ready to start working.
Seeing the others busy with seemingly pointless tasks, Su Yihua said, "Focus yourselves and start quickly."
"In the beginning, nothing else is important. First, draft the text for me. Once there are no issues, we'll start dividing the translation work. As for layout and other design aspects, we can discuss them later."
After all, the final webpage production would still be handed over to the professionals on their side. They only needed to design and provide the drafts.
"Okay, Teacher."
The Chinese text still needed to be written by them, based on the provided materials.
So, the four divided into two groups to begin their work.
Qiu Xi and Lu Qingyi, both English majors, teamed up, while Wu Yanhua and Huo Jinyu, both French majors, paired up.
"Your task for today is to write this text. I'll review it tomorrow morning."
"Teacher Su, don't worry, we'll definitely complete the task."
"Alright, then you all work hard. I have other things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
"Okay, Teacher, goodbye."
"Mhm."
After Su Yihua left, the four sat for a while longer before starting their work.
"Senior Sister Lu, if we divide the work like this, maybe half the materials for each of us, and then we can proofread and revise it together after writing, is that okay?"
The content for each section was different anyway, so dividing the work this way wouldn't cause any disjointedness. Instead, it would save a lot of discussion hassle and wouldn't delay their progress.
"Mhm, that's fine."
Lu Qingyi's impression of this junior sister had changed considerably.
Especially after this reporting presentation, Qiu Xi's abilities were indeed very strong. At least, Lu Qingyi couldn't match her, let alone the one in her dorm.
When Teacher Su started selecting people last semester, they already knew that four people were needed, from two majors.
At first, they all assumed the people would be exclusively from their own class.
After all, based on rankings and professional ability assessments, their class was leading.
Therefore, when Teacher Su approached her, she wasn't surprised at all.
What surprised her was one of her roommates. What was initially a sure thing seemed to have been snatched away by someone else.
During that period, she complained in the dorm every day. Later, upon learning it was a junior from the second year, rumors started that the person had connections and lacked ability.
In short, many unpleasant things were said, yet they subtly influenced quite a few people.
So, when she first met this pretty junior sister, she was also suspicious.
Especially seeing how she addressed Teacher Su, she felt they must have known each other.
However, as they gradually interacted, she realized this junior sister was quite capable. At least, she couldn't match her, let alone the one in her dorm.
So, after getting along for a while, she simply chose to relax.
With such an influential figure leading the way, wouldn't it be great to observe and learn?
Yes!
It was very beneficial!
Look at them now; although it wasn't easy, they successfully secured the project.
And now, the tasks were directly assigned, and they could ask for guidance if they didn't understand. The pressure was halved!
"Then let's get started!"
Although she didn't know what had gotten into Senior Sister Lu recently, she was acting strangely, not at all like the slightly arrogant and disdainful person she had first met. Now, she was obedient, agreeing with whatever was said.
However, this didn't affect Qiu Xi's rush to work. Completing the task was more important now.
After all, the boat would reach its destination naturally. Everything would have an explanation when the time came.
Lu Qingyi nodded firmly, "Okay!"
Wu Yanhua and Huo Jinyu, watching from the side, followed suit.
"Huo Jinyu, let's do the same. It looks like it will save a lot of time."
"Mhm, okay, let's do it this way."
As they spoke, the two divided the materials in their hands and began their day's work.
For a moment, the only sounds in the entire office were the rustling of pages and occasional soft sounds of noses touching.
Qiu Xi was engrossed in her work, hoping to finish early, while Liang Yunfei's side was also quite lively!
C City, City Library.
Since hearing Qiu Xi's suggestion, Liang Yunfei had been paying attention.
Today, she seized an opportunity and brought her two cousins, who had just finished their college entrance exams and had nothing to do, to investigate this peculiar person.
Cousin number one, Xiao Yuting, looking at the person sitting one table away, asked,
"Cousin, is that the strange person you were talking about?"
"Mhm!"
"He doesn't look strange?"
He was just dressed a bit sloppily, wasn't he?
Well... the stubble made him look a bit unkempt.
If you say he doesn't maintain himself, it's clear he does; it's just... rather casual.
"Sis, he's probably just a lazy person."
Looking at the beard, it was trimmed, but not regularly, here and there.
If you say he's strange, well, there is a bit of strangeness, perhaps.
"Right, I think the strange thing about this lazy person is why he still comes to the library sometimes, given how rundown he looks?"
This was cousin number two, Xiao Yunyun, staring openly at the person with wide eyes.
"..."
Liang Yunfei watched from the side, her forehead covered in black lines.
Who was stranger now?
Neither of these two youths was as strange as these two!
They were staring so openly at the old man and discussing him so animatedly?
If someone didn't know better, they would think the two of them were here for something else!
"You two be quiet. He's not strange; you two are the strangest!"
Where else would two handsome young men be found staring so intently at a rough old man?
"..."
"How are we strange? Didn't you tell us to look?"
If they weren't afraid of the "tigress" at home who wanted a daughter, they wouldn't have come here!
Having just finished their exams, wouldn't it be more comfortable to lie down and rest?
Why insist on coming to this library filled with academic vibes...
Liang Yunfei was exasperated, "But you can't do that!"
"What did we do? We just looked at a lazy person."
"..."
"My two younger brothers, are you referring to me when you say 'lazy person'?"
"!!!"
Brothers?!!
How old was he to still be pretending to be young!
Shameless!
In an instant, the expressions of the two brothers flickered, changing dramatically. It was quite a spectacle!
