Because she had promised Song Daiyao, Qiu Xi went out the next day.
Thinking it had been a while since she last visited the milk tea shop, after Song Daiyao finished making the items, Qiu Xi went to the Dai Fei Milk Tea Shop.
Since it was just opening in the morning, there weren't many people when Qiu Xi arrived, and it was quite leisurely.
As soon as she entered, an employee saw her, "Sister Xi, why are you here?"
Usually, the most frequent visitors were Song Daiyao, occasionally bringing Liang Yunfei and Shen Yan.
Although they didn't interact much, the employees already knew during their initial training that Qiu Xi was the most influential among the four, even though she rarely came to the shop.
So, seeing her this early in the morning, the young employee was a bit flustered.
After all, she was still a boss!
Qiu Xi observed and didn't miss the slight nervousness in the girl's eyes, so she smiled gently, "No need to be nervous, I'm just here to take a look."
"Mhm, and to drop off some things."
"Take a few people with you to help me get them."
Thinking there was still inventory that hadn't been brought in, it was better to have someone help bring it in first.
Hearing Qiu Xi say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay."
"Alright, I've written down the prices on this list. You can sort it out yourselves later."
Since Qiu Xi made assorted desserts, there was quite a bit of work to be done before they could be put on display.
"Okay."
"By the way, did Daiyao tell you when the ordered items will arrive?"
"Mhm, Sister Song mentioned it in a meeting a while ago, saying they were waiting for you."
"..."
Hearing this, Qiu Xi felt even more that she had been tricked by Song Daiyao.
"Alright, you can contact her for the rest of the matters."
In that case, she was determined to be a hands-off boss.
"Okay, Sister Xi."
After taking one last look around and finding nothing else, Qiu Xi took her things and headed back to school.
...
A few days later, Qiu Xi and the other two, Zhang Shu, received a message from Old Yan.
The selection of people to go to the Xi Nian Grand Exchange Meeting had been finalized, and it was the list Qiu Xi and the others had submitted earlier.
Upon receiving the news, the four of them had a brief discussion and finally decided it would be best to post a notice directly in the group chat.
However, what none of them expected was that the training journey for the selected individuals would enter a new level of grueling difficulty.
Of course, this was all thanks to Minhua University's unyielding pride.
They called it a friendly exchange, but they also had pride and couldn't afford to lose badly.
So, as soon as the people were decided, the four of them received their task indicators from Old Yan: drawing was acceptable, but losing was not.
And thus, the following scene unfolded: "The Autumn Style Accelerated Training."
"No way, our senior sister looks like a 'Miejue Shitai' now!"
"Pfft! Gu Yansheng, you look quite handsome, but why do you have to have such a mouth!"
Although Zhao Yingying also felt that Senior Sister's current training intensity was a bit excessive, it wasn't to the point where Gu Yansheng could describe her like that.
Senior Sister was so beautiful, how could she be a 'Miejue Shitai'!
"..."
Being retorted by Zhao Yingying, Gu Yansheng was truly speechless.
He just didn't understand! This superficial person! How could he have fallen for Senior Sister's face!
Was it that opposites attract no longer worked? Or was he no longer handsome?!!
Although Senior Sister did seem quite formidable and possessed deep power... she was still a woman!
"Alright, you two, just say a little less."
Looking at these two bickering lovebirds, Mei Ke initially didn't want to get involved.
But! More importantly, she didn't want to be caught by Senior Sister!
If Senior Sister doubled the homework, it would be unbearable for a small fry like her.
"Keke, don't you think he's going too far?!!"
Mei Ke didn't answer, but instead asked, "Yingying, can you handle Senior Sister's double dose?"
"..."
Thinking about it, she realized she... wasn't really able to handle it.
Zhao Yingying immediately deflated and returned to diligently studying the materials in her hands.
"See, you guys just refuse to admit it..."
Gu Yansheng was still hopping around.
"Gu Yansheng, double dose!"
"..."
Qiu Xi had learned who knows from where, but their training recently had been one set after another.
While it was effective, it was also incredibly tiring.
Among the six of them, not one could escape the word "double dose," and they might even get a "super double dose" any day.
"You guys should keep studying."
Feng Yunqi, who had been silent beside them, suddenly spoke.
Everyone immediately quieted down, and even Gu Yansheng stopped talking.
It was simply because this guy was too cold. When he didn't speak, it was fine, but once he did, the outcome could be a royal flush.
As if on cue, just as he finished speaking, the group saw Qiu Xi walking down.
Qiu Xi had noticed them for a while, but she had just been watching. It was important to relax, and they couldn't be pushed too hard all at once.
For these individuals, she had brought out everything from the system and even specifically sought advice from Xiao Hua, spending over 200 points in the mall!
"Senior Sister..."
Gu Yansheng, who was instantly submissive, greeted her first.
"Mhm, how are you all feeling?"
Qiu Xi nodded and began to inquire about their training results.
"It's good, it's just this double dose..."
This was Gu Yansheng trying to ease the pressure.
"Mhm..."
For the first time, these six people showed a hint of tacit understanding.
Qiu Xi smiled, "Just this?"
"Yes... ah..."
Cold sweat broke out on their faces. Wasn't this enough?
Qiu Xi continued to smile, "Then of course..."
"Impossible!"
The exchange meeting was next week, so how could she ease the pressure? She wished she could just give them a super double dose right now.
"..."
As expected, they shouldn't have had any expectations.
"Alright, don't be so down."
No longer joking, Qiu Xi straightened her expression and got straight to the point.
"The exchange meeting time has been set for next Saturday. You all need to work hard."
"So soon?!!"
They had only been training for less than a week.
"That's why I need you all to keep doubling your efforts."
At this time, during her own competitions, she had only finished her courses by relying on the time advantage provided by the system's lessons.
If these people didn't put in double the effort, they would probably still be far behind.
"Mhm!"
"Senior Sister, we will work hard."
Although surprised by the timing, the six of them, apart from the astonishment, showed no other particular expressions.
After all, they had all gone through a week of grueling training, and with the foundation they had built earlier, they weren't disheartened at this point.
"Alright, if you have any questions, just come to us."
Hearing everyone say this, Qiu Xi was truly relieved.
"Okay!"
