Yan Xingming nodded with satisfaction, "Mm..."
Not bad~
He thought to himself, then smiled, "We've been busy with so many sessions. Let's take it easy and chat with the old man about the tests from the past few rounds. How did you feel about them?"
Seeing the elder who didn't seem like he was digging a pit for her, Qiu Xi thought for a moment and answered directly and honestly.
After these few rounds, every teacher said it was very simple, but every teacher was planting landmines for themselves. So there was plenty to say about how she felt.
Thinking about her continuous stream of psychological activities just now, Qiu Xi felt inspired and poured out her thoughts, chattering away.
Yan Xingming smiled throughout the conversation, only occasionally nodding in agreement, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"Teacher Yan, I've written down my thoughts like this. There's nothing else."
After speaking, Qiu Xi demurely placed her hands on her lap and quietly watched Yan Xingming.
The teacher in front of her still had that kind demeanor, but his thoughts were many.
This girl is quite good at talking. When asked about her feelings, she spoke directly about the questions and her own thoughts from beginning to end, without saying an extra word. She was very cautious!
"Your summary is quite accurate. Don't you have any thoughts about the other teachers?"
Qiu Xi, "..."
The smile in this teacher's eyes looked a little malicious...
Indeed, his words carried a hint of... ill intent...
The more she said, the more mistakes she could make. Moreover, she had only met these teachers for the first time. She couldn't speak solely based on her current first impressions.
So, looking at the smiling Teacher Yan, Qiu Xi also smiled sweetly, "Teacher Yan, the teachers are all very good and highly skilled..."
She said what she saw. In such a short time, she had only truly and directly witnessed the professionalism of a few teachers.
Therefore, the "beautiful words" she uttered were not an exaggeration; she was just stating facts.
Seeing that the little girl hadn't fallen into his trap, Yan Xingming, "..."
This little girl is truly sharp!
However, in any case, this also reflected another aspect of the child's excellence, which made Yan Xingming very happy.
He had already gotten a good idea of her level from the tests conducted by the previous few teachers.
Now, coupled with his question, her flexible adaptability was even more undeniable.
This child is indeed as Old Ding said, a talent with great potential!
"Alright, we've had a good chat."
"Let's conclude today's tests here for now."
With Yan Xingming's words, Qiu Xi's half-day little test came to an end.
Qiu Xi was still a bit slow to react... It was over just like that?
Seeing the sharp girl looking a bit dazed by his words, Yan Xingming was very pleased.
He then explained to the young lady with great interest, "Those two or three questions just now can be considered my assessment. They were simple, weren't they?"
Qiu Xi continued to nod in a daze, "...Mm."
Then, she reacted and nodded even more emphatically, "Yes!"
"Hahahaha~"
Seeing Qiu Xi's reaction, the people around them all burst into laughter.
Even Ding Yujing, who had been watching from the beginning, was no exception.
This child Xiao Xi is sometimes too serious and stern. This way is quite good...
"Xiao Xi, you go and rest for a while. We old fellows will have a good chat."
Since it was over and the time seemed a bit early, he and his old friends could still chat for a while.
Qiu Xi nodded, "Mm, okay~"
After speaking, Qiu Xi picked up her things and sat aside by herself.
Since the teachers were chatting, she might as well review again...
...
"Brother Ding, tell us honestly, what is your relationship with this child?"
He asked them to help so enthusiastically. They had known each other for so many years, and this had only happened a few times. Now, at their age, they were still getting involved in such matters.
Yuan Qing didn't believe that there wasn't some favoritism involved!
Hearing Yuan Qing's question, the others didn't rush to retort, as they were also very curious about what kind of relationship was involved.
Ding Yujing, "..."
With your gossipy expression, if the students below saw it, they would probably blush to the roots of their ears.
"It's nothing, just a very talented child in the institute..."
"Oh!"
"Brother Ding, stop it!"
"We've known you for so long, we understand you to some extent. If she were really just an institute student, you would have found us many times over the years, at least n+1 times..."
Before Ding Yujing could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Jin Qiong's words.
The others nearby had similar sentiments.
"Old Ding, why don't you just say it for my sake..."
Even Yan Xingming looked at Ding Yujing seriously, clearly not believing his previous explanation.
However, he wasn't entirely sure of the reason either. His previous guesses now made him hesitant to believe them...
Ding Yujing, "..."
This situation... Is his acting that bad?
Recalling what Old Du had told him before coming, Ding Yujing doubted himself again...
"Old Ding, don't overthink it. Just say it directly. Don't use that rhetoric of caring for students to trick us anymore. It won't work!"
"..."
If you don't say it, you don't say it... He still had a backup plan!
"Alright! Then I'll tell you the truth..."
"Xiao Xi is a child I invited to participate in next year's internal academic exchange conference. If there are no problems, I plan to do the same for the international exchange conference later."
Yuan Qing, who hadn't reacted, said, "Why didn't you just say so earlier..."
"!!!"
"Exchange conference? Is it what I'm thinking?"
Pulled by Liu Qingyun next to him, Yuan Qing immediately reacted.
But precisely because he reacted, he was even more shocked!
This exchange conference had existed for so many years, but no such young child had ever appeared.
Yes! A child!
Even younger ones were preparing to graduate with a master's degree, and they had to be strongly recommended by their supervisors!
The last time there was such a young person, it seemed to be Ding Yujing himself... That young man named Su Yihua, isn't he over thirty now?
Under their surprised and confused gazes, Ding Yujing calmly nodded again.
