"Good, good, good~"
Xu Xuanming looked at the slightly huffy person, speaking comforting words, but his smile was exceptionally bright. "It's good that you're busy~"
Qiu Xi was momentarily speechless, "......"
Fine then...
She was busy, that was all that mattered!
"You all chat, I'm going upstairs."
After the post-meal chat and digestion, she had work to do!
"Go ahead~"
"Brother Xuanming, then I'll go up too." After speaking, Nan Hua followed Qiu Xi upstairs.
"What are you three looking at!"
"Hurry up and get back!"
Liu Wei and the other two onlookers were... a bit speechless!
"Do you think our boss is missing something?" Liu Wei, trailing behind, whispered to Zhang Xiaowei.
"Mm!"
With a very serious tone, "I think the boss is missing a girlfriend!"
"The way he was just now, it was like he was green with envy!"
"Pfft~" The two couldn't help but burst into laughter.
But the next second, they immediately shut their mouths, holding it in with utmost seriousness.
"You kid!" Liu Wei patted Zhang Xiaowei forcefully on the shoulder, "You've got great potential!"
"I'm rooting for you!"
Xu Xuanming, who had walked ahead and heard most of it, felt his mood exceptionally sour!
Look at these guys!
What nonsense were they spouting!
"Do you guys think you haven't been staying up late enough recently and want to apply for overtime?!"
Not old, but they worried about so many things!
With one sentence from Xu Xuanming, the three immediately fell silent for a while.
"Boss... we didn't mean anything by it..."
Staying up late? Was that as good as sleeping in?
Even though they sometimes liked to stay up late, that was far from overtime!
"Boss!"
"We seem to have something else to do, so we'll be going back now!"
"Goodbye, boss!"
Clever as he was, Liu Wei pulled the three of them and quickly headed next door, then swiftly returned to their rooms.
Overtime!
They could forget about that...
They were quite fond of their lives!
Xu Xuanming chuckled as he watched the people who had disappeared without a trace, "Good thing you ran fast!"
With that, he put his hands in his pockets and sauntered back.
He also needed to catch up on some sleep!
......
"Ah Hua, why did you come up?"
Qiu Xi, before entering the door, looked at Nan Hua who had followed her upstairs and asked doubtfully.
Shouldn't they be chatting downstairs?
"Mm..." Nan Hua hesitated for a moment, "To catch up on some sleep..."
"Pfft~" Qiu Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud upon hearing this.
"Hurry and go!"
She thought these people had iron bodies and didn't get tired!
As she spoke, Qiu Xi kindly pushed him into the room where he would be temporarily resting.
"Go ahead, get some good rest~"
Nan Hua nodded slowly, "Mm..."
At this moment, Qiu Xi paid no attention to Nan Hua's slightly pathetic expression. After speaking, she turned and walked ahead, returning to her own room.
Leaning by the door, Nan Hua watched the room door that had already been locked ahead, a slight smile curving his lips. He also turned and went back to his room.
......
The end of April arrived, and the exchange meeting followed.
"Xiao Xi, just stay close to me and Teacher Yan for now. When the free exchange session starts later, we'll introduce you to the other teachers."
Getting out of the car at the entrance, Ding Yujing and Yan Xingming were not in a hurry at all. They held the child by the hand and stood to the side, repeatedly instructing Qiu Xi.
Although most of it was a reiteration, Qiu Xi listened very attentively as the two teachers repeated themselves.
Although Qiu Xi wasn't nervous now and appeared very relaxed, Ding Yujing and Yan Xingming were not!
They had brought students to participate before, but bringing such a young student was truly a first.
Although Qiu Xi was very smart and spirited, her behavior and etiquette were impeccable.
But they were still worried!
They felt a little nervous for the first time in a long while!
Especially since this child was the beloved disciple of Old Du, who had made several phone calls right before they left.
After the calls, messages kept flooding in, making them, who weren't very nervous initially, feel a bit anxious now!
"Teacher Ding, Teacher Yan, please don't worry, I will definitely stay with you two closely once we go inside." Qiu Xi replied obediently.
Her master had said that he hadn't appeared for over twenty years and didn't want to join the fray now, so he had asked her to come with the two teachers.
"Alright!"
"Then stay close, let's go in." After reconfirming that there was nothing left to say, Ding Yujing and Yan Xingming exchanged glances and walked inside with the young lady.
After all, they had known each other for decades, and they understood Old Du's intentions.
Especially Ding Yujing, when he had first met Qiu Xi, and Du Bin had agreed to let her participate in this exchange meeting, he had already understood most of it.
Old Du, with his mind full of scholarship, was surely unwilling to get involved in such matters again after so many years.
But he was willing to ask him to train this girl and even bring her to participate in this exchange meeting... In essence, he was eager to teach and just wanted to pull some strings for this girl.
Moreover, since he and Yan Xingming were bringing her together, their relationship was naturally self-evident. If anything, further discussion during the exchange meeting would truly reveal everything!
However, speaking of which, besides this little thought, the old man wasn't without other intentions.
At least he was willing to provide an opportunity for the exchange meeting and was concerned about next year's international exchange meeting.
Otherwise, he could have brought this girl a few years later and participated in the exchange meeting then.
In fact, at that time, it might have been when Xiao Xi was truly ready.
After all, she was already so capable now; could she really stand still for the next few years?
He thought of a lot of things, and when he came back to his senses, they had already entered the main entrance.
Their internal exchange meeting didn't have too many people, but it wasn't few either. The location, however, changed every year.
This year's venue was chosen from someone's home, a large exchange room specifically selected.
As for whose home it was?
It was naturally one of their own insiders...
This way, it would save a lot of trouble.
When entering, there were even several people specifically stationed at the entrance.
Although their exchange meetings had not produced much valuable information in recent years, the rules had become increasingly formal.
Invitations were specifically distributed, and upon arrival, there were dedicated personnel to check them.
Therefore, after the three entered, they turned left and right at the direction signs before finally reaching the actual entrance.
"Hello, please present your invitation."
At this moment, Ding Yujing and Yan Xingming shed their amiable and kind elder demeanor towards Qiu Xi.
With stern faces, serious and solemn, they handed over their invitation letters one after another.
"Okay, please come in."
After confirming their identity, the etiquette staff at the door stepped aside and gestured for the three to proceed inside.
Upon entering, there were already quite a few people scattered around the venue.
Since it hadn't officially started yet, everyone was chatting habitually.
Qiu Xi, following the two teachers, hadn't found a seat yet when someone called out to her.
