As Manager Zhang led a group of people out, Wu Yanhua and the other two completely collapsed into their chairs.
Qiu Xi, on the other hand, took a deep breath, "Phew!"
Although she was alright, this was her first time experiencing such a stimulating negotiation.
...
"Teacher Su, you are truly amazing!"
Gu Shicheng found such a quick-witted university student to be rare.
Moreover, the fact that she spoke two fluent foreign languages right off the bat marked her as a great talent!
"Not at all! Mr. Gu exaggerates."
Despite Su Yihua's calm demeanor and faint smile, he was inwardly quite surprised.
He had only known that Qiu Xi's English was good, but he hadn't expected her French to be equally impressive.
As for the other three, they indeed lacked experience. Their ability to respond flexibly was far inferior to Qiu Xi's.
"Whether he exaggerates or not, we'll know in another two days," Gu Shicheng said to Su Yihua with a smile, not dwelling on the matter.
"Teacher Su, I have some business to attend to, so I won't disturb you further. We'll see each other again in two days."
Su Yihua nodded, "Alright, see you then."
"See you."
After saying that, Gu Shicheng left.
He was in a hurry to find his Manager Zhang, intending to hear his opinion on Qiu Xi.
Su Yihua, watching Gu Shicheng depart, lingered for a moment before returning to the conference room.
"Teacher Su..."
The four looked at Su Yihua as he walked in, feeling a bit apprehensive.
Su Yihua, however, said nothing, simply gazing at the four for a long while.
"Teacher... Su, we..."
"Let's go back to school first. We can talk about it there."
"...Alright."
The person who had finally mustered the courage to speak was now completely deflated.
Minhua University.
Upon returning to his office, Su Yihua drank a large glass of water before unleashing a barrage of words at the group.
"Honestly, you all disappointed me a bit this time."
"All three of you have been with me for over a year, and your ability to do the actual work is indeed commendable..."
"Especially you, Lu Qingyi, you even got the name wrong..."
"And the two of you, when you get nervous, you can't even speak properly, can you?"
"As for you..."
"Never mind. When you pick the tallest among the short, Qiu Xi, you did alright today..."
It was just a pity, as ultimately, this was a team effort.
Upon hearing Su Yihua's words, the four, whose heads were already bowed low, nearly pressed them against their chests.
"That's enough!"
"Bowing your heads won't help; the work still needs to be done."
"Yes, we'll start right away."
Wu Yanhua's voice was so muffled that Su Yihua could barely hear her.
"Fine, with that attitude, you still want to continue?"
"Hurry up, pack your things, and all of you go back and seriously think about what to do."
"Come back earlier tomorrow."
"Teacher Su, I..."
Lu Qingyi, having been so embarrassed today, only wished to redeem herself.
"Alright, stop calling me 'Teacher Su' here and there, just go back quickly."
In this state, how could they possibly work? It would be good enough if they didn't cause more trouble.
"Teacher Su, then I'll be leaving."
Seeing the situation, it was impossible to stay, so it was better to leave early.
"Go ahead. If you have time, tell your two senior sisters and this quiet senior brother what you just said in the group chat."
Looking at Qiu Xi, Su Yihua felt a little gratified.
Perhaps in the days to come, this group would have to rely on this young girl as their helmsman.
Qiu Xi nodded, "No problem, I'll send it when I get back."
They would have to talk about it tomorrow anyway, so it was good to get a head start.
"Okay, go back now."
"Yes, Teacher Su, Senior Sisters, and Senior Brother, see you tomorrow."
After speaking, Qiu Xi waved and left the office.
"Teacher Su, then we..."
"You can go back too, and think carefully."
"Okay, goodbye, Teacher."
With that, the three walked out of the office dejectedly.
