The two followed Liu Qingxi to the destination, which was a small conference room.
"Sit down," Liu Qingxi said, signaling them to sit as soon as they entered.
The two, still confused, exchanged a glance before obediently sitting down.
Then they watched as Liu Qingxi, alone, busied herself at a table not far away, doing something they couldn't figure out.
"Sister Liu, what are you doing?"
After watching for a while, the two exchanged another look, and one finally spoke up.
It felt a bit awkward to just sit there doing nothing.
Liu Qingxi, without looking up, replied, "I'm organizing some materials. You two just sit for a bit; it won't be long."
"Okay..."
With no other choice, the two continued to wait.
After a few more minutes, the person over there finally stopped.
"Sister Liu." The two looked over.
Liu Qingxi rubbed her temples and called out to them, "You two come here and get these, one for each of you."
"Alright."
As they spoke, the two went over and took the items.
By then, Liu Qingxi had also sat down in her seat, waiting for them.
"Once you've got them, come over, I have something to tell you both."
"Okay."
Seeing the two sit down, Liu Qingxi then looked at the documents in front of her and began to speak.
"You two need to quickly familiarize yourselves with these two sets of documents during the collective meeting later. It would be best if you could memorize some of it."
"This is..."
"I know you're very confused. In fact, we just received the notification at noon."
"The final part of the activity is the exchange session. This time, you may need to put in more effort. They might be more inclined to engage with younger people like yourselves..."
"So, try to remember as much of this material as you can. In the afternoon, stick close to us. If you are asked anything, you won't be at a loss for words."
Liu Qingxi shook her head slightly, acknowledging it was a last resort.
"Do you have any other questions?"
"No."
Everything had been explained clearly; now it was up to them to spend their time reading it.
They couldn't waste any time; they had to absorb as much as they could.
"Alright!"
"Then take your materials, we should get going."
"Okay."
The three then hurried to the main venue.
As expected, Qiu Xi and the other person also saw worried expressions on the faces of their companions.
Looking at the identical materials in their hands, they immediately understood.
It seemed this matter was indeed quite significant, otherwise, they wouldn't have resorted to this.
After all, these activities were planned from the start. If they were needed, they would have informed the training base earlier. Now, suddenly asking them to read materials indicated it was a last-minute decision.
So, when the meeting began, besides the host and speakers, and a few occasional questioners, many people in the audience were secretly poring over the documents in their hands.
Among them, the students from Qiu Xi's batch were the most conspicuous, all engrossed in the materials they held, barely looking up throughout the entire meeting.
Fortunately, they were seated in the back rows, otherwise, if someone had asked them a question, it would have been difficult to answer.
The meeting lasted a full two hours, and by the end, everyone was exhausted.
After everyone had dispersed, a group of people gathered together.
First, Liu Qingxi and the other supervisors sat together to discuss something for a while, only then turning their attention to Qiu Xi and the others.
"Then we'll part ways and get busy with our respective tasks."
"Yes, let's begin."
The current situation was a break after the meeting, about twenty minutes before they needed to gather again.
Therefore, time was short and needed to be seized.
"Qiu Xi, Wang Yanyan, you two come with me."
After saying goodbye to everyone else, Liu Qingxi directly went to find the two young women.
"Of course, Sister Liu."
The two hurriedly gathered their belongings and ran towards Liu Qingxi.
"Let's go. We still have some time. I'll chat with you both for a bit, and then we'll head directly to the exchange room."
"Okay."
...
Liu Qingxi led the two to a casual spot outside and they sat down.
"Time is short, so let's just talk briefly here."
Seeing them seated, Liu Qingxi began to speak.
"How did you find the materials I gave you earlier?"
"It was a bit challenging, but we finished reading them..." Wang Yanyan shook her head helplessly and with some frustration.
If she were to truly follow what was written, it would be good enough just to remember it. To expect her to understand it in such a short time, and even offer her own opinions...
To be honest, it was quite difficult...
Liu Qingxi nodded without speaking, then shifted her gaze to Qiu Xi.
Qiu Xi looked at her and also nodded.
"..."
"This... is also acceptable."
"Just say what you can when the time comes."
Seeing Qiu Xi's silence, Liu Qingxi assumed she was in a similar situation to Wang Yanyan.
Although she felt a bit worried, there was nothing else they could do.
Fortunately, they, the supervisors, were there. They would step in if needed.
After all, they were just young girls. Even though they were outstanding now, they still needed time to grow.
In the future, they would undoubtedly be even more accomplished, at least not inferior to the older generation.
"Let's compose yourselves here for a moment. In a little while, we'll need to head over."
Instead of talking further, it was better to let them rest on their own; it was more beneficial than her nagging, and at least it wouldn't make them nervous.
"Yes, we'll do as Sister Liu says."
Liu Qingxi didn't ask any more questions, and Qiu Xi didn't say anything further. Instead, she and Wang Yanyan both responded with a nod.
Then the two sat quietly, occasionally flipping through the materials, just waiting for the appointed time.
Elsewhere, those seated were in a similar state, just waiting.
