Song Corporation-
“Glad to cooperate, student Xi!”
“Uncle Song, glad to cooperate!”
The two shook hands and smiled at each other, both clearly satisfied with the collaboration.
Qiu Xi, who had woken up early to sign the contract, felt one less item on her to-do list, and she felt incredibly relaxed.
Of course, to outsiders, this only added to her composed demeanor.
Just like Song Mingcheng before her, he truly admired this young lady who looked the same age as his daughter but was actually younger, achieving so much at such a tender age!
As he thought about it, Song Mingcheng couldn't help but sigh, "This girl, given time, will surely achieve great things!"
...
“By the way, Uncle, how has Daiyao been recently?”
After discussing business, Qiu Xi began to inquire about Song Daiyao, who had been home for a few days.
Because she had to go to the hospital to look after Zhao Huasheng and attend classes, the Song family had brought her home and arranged for a car to pick her up and drop her off, making things more convenient.
Therefore, even when they met in the classroom during these past few days, they had only managed to exchange a few words.
“She’s doing well, just goes to the hospital a bit too often.”
Song Mingcheng said this with a hint of displeasure, his daughter insisted on going even though he had hired someone to take care of things.
“I see… that’s good, responsible.”
Qiu Xi, who had received such a comment, was now unsure how to continue the conversation.
In the eyes of this father, Daiyao’s actions were truly… stimulating!
“It’s good that way…”
Don’t think that he didn’t know about the budding romance between these two youngsters after he stopped going to the hospital.
He had lived for decades and had experienced a lot!
“…”
Feeling like she had made a mistake, Qiu Xi only wanted to leave as soon as possible.
“Uncle Song, since the contract is signed, you can have someone test this new product. If there are any issues, please let me know, or I can come and demonstrate it later.”
Thinking about the formula she had just given away, Qiu Xi found this as an excuse.
“Alright, I’ll have it arranged shortly.”
“Okay, then I’ll be going back. Call me if you need anything later.”
“You can go back then. Be careful on the road.”
Song Mingcheng knew that this young lady had a car, so he didn’t offer to escort her.
Thinking this, and watching the departing figure, Song Mingcheng couldn’t help but sigh again, “The younger generation is promising!”
After leaving Song Corporation, Qiu Xi drove back to school.
Everything was going smoothly until an incident occurred just before she reached her destination.
“Screech!”
“Squeal!”
“Did I hit someone?”
Still a bit shaken from the thrilling experience, Qiu Xi instinctively got out of the car.
“Grandpa, are you alright?”
Looking at the person slumped on the ground, Qiu Xi was unsure if it was her fault.
“I’m… fine.”
“But you look…”
The old man explained, “It’s an old ailment. I get dizzy from time to time. Plus, I haven’t eaten anything this morning, so I just felt faint when I reached this spot.”
“Should I take you to the hospital to get checked out?”
Qiu Xi was uncertain, but based on the old man’s explanation, it didn’t seem like he was trying to scam her.
Moreover, his attire suggested wealth.
However, regardless of the circumstances, the person’s well-being was paramount.
“No, no, someone is coming to pick me up soon.”
Hearing this, the person coming was likely on their way and not far away.
“Then I’ll wait here with you for a while.”
Leaving an elderly person alone here seemed inappropriate, so Qiu Xi decided to wait with him. After all, her martial arts training wasn't for nothing.
“Alright.”
“Old man, would you like something to eat?”
Recalling the old man’s words, Qiu Xi remembered the snacks she had prepared in her car to bring back for Nanhua and her roommates.
“You have some?”
The old man’s eyes, which had been half-closed, suddenly lit up, as if he hadn’t expected there to be food.
“Yes, I’ll get it for you.”
“Oh, thank you, dear girl!”
...
“Sir!”
After waiting for a short while, a car stopped by the roadside.
Even before the person emerged, an anxious voice could be heard.
Although Qiu Xi didn’t know much about cars, she had been to a 4S shop before. This car was more expensive than hers.
“I’m here, don’t shout!”
“Why did you come here? Didn’t you say you were looking for the young master?”
“…”
Alright! So this old man had run out on his own, no wonder they were so anxious.
“I’m not looking anymore, let’s go back!”
“Why are you not looking anymore?”
“Mind your own business, young man!”
“…”
“Okay, then I’ll take you back?”
“Mm.”
After speaking, the old man turned and looked at Qiu Xi, “Young lady, thank you. You’re a good girl. I’ll be going now. May we meet again!”
“Okay, Grandpa, goodbye.”
Watching the car drive away, Qiu Xi was still a bit bewildered. What was that encounter?
After pondering for a moment, Qiu Xi shook her head and drove into the school.
...
“Hello, Teacher Zhong.”
“Nanhua.”
After returning to school, Qiu Xi went to find Nanhua as usual.
As she became more familiar with the place, Qiu Xi felt as comfortable browsing the Economics and Management department office as she did in Old Yan’s office.
“Xi, visiting Nanhua again? What are you holding there?”
“…”
Really, she couldn't even find a gap to interject!
“Yes, teacher.”
“Just some snacks. Teacher, would you like to try some?”
“Then I won’t be polite!”
Ever since Yan the Bald showed off his milk tea once, he had been reminding him from time to time.
He wasn’t as thick-skinned as that old bald guy.
After waiting for a while, the little girl finally showed up again.
It seemed his increasingly frequent visits to the office hadn't been in vain!
“…”
If Nanhua and the others knew that the teacher had been coming so often recently, not to guide their progress, but just for a bite to eat, they would likely be furious, if not completely stunned.
It was truly hard work for them, the laborers!
