In her spare moments, Qiu Xi spent about a week working on her tasks. Though she might not have had a lot of time, she finally completed the mission Yang Yue had assigned her.
During this week, Qiu Xi did as she had said, meeting with her junior schoolmate only once to go over the key points of the hosting script.
For the rest of the time, she would occasionally reply to messages on her phone.
As soon as she finished, it was time for the teacher's second small meeting.
Qiu Xi, with the materials prepared as required, arrived at room 402 precisely on time.
"Everyone's here. Just give me everything directly."
Yang Yue was particularly early this time, arriving directly after her previous class ended.
So, by the time Qiu Xi and Ming Shuyu arrived, the inspection of their work began immediately.
"Qiu Xi, give me yours first. Let me take a look."
She understood this student's capabilities. Back during the summer, she had heard Director Su praising someone in the group chat, with a hint of pride.
It was rare for teachers in their group to hear the director praise someone so much.
However, this confirmed that she hadn't misjudged the person.
"Teacher, here you go."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Xi obediently handed over the materials in her hand.
"Alright, you two, don't just stand there. Qiu Xi, take Shuyu with you and look at the hosting script she has. I'll review it and then show it to you both later."
She naturally had high expectations for this student.
At such a young age, she had already participated in numerous public speaking competitions and other types of contests. It shouldn't be difficult for her to spot any issues.
In this regard, another elder teacher in the department, Teacher Yan Baitao, had praised her openly and subtly many times.
From time to time, he would complain about himself, stating that if he were younger and more capable, he would definitely have taken this student under his wing.
Qiu Xi had no doubts and simply nodded, "Okay."
She would do as the teacher said, and saying anything more would be a waste of time.
"Junior schoolmate, take out the materials. Let's look at them together."
Ming Shuyu nodded and took out the items.
Her expression had visibly relaxed a lot compared to when she first entered.
Perhaps she was relieved that her own abilities wouldn't be immediately criticized by the teacher.
It was much less stressful to have a senior schoolmate looking at it rather than the teacher.
Furthermore, she was a senior schoolmate with a good temper and a gentle demeanor.
Thus, a quiet scene of one teacher and two students reading unfolded.
In the large space, there was only the sound of pages turning and Qiu Xi's occasional soft murmurs, creating a profound silence.
After a long while, Yang Yue finally made a move after finishing the last word of the materials in her hand.
Qiu Xi, this student, truly surprised her.
After finishing her review, Yang Yue couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
She had been in the profession for many years, and students like this were truly rare, almost never encountered.
It had to be said that someone who was so highly regarded by so many teachers, including herself, was indeed truly capable.
With the compiled materials in her hand, she barely needed to make any changes. Based on her years of experience, with a little attention, she could directly use them for translation.
After all, at this age, minor imperfections were not an issue.
"Teacher Yang, what is it? Are there any problems?"
Before Yang Yue finished reading, Qiu Xi had already finished reviewing the hosting script in Ming Shuyu's hand.
She had marked anything she found problematic, and there weren't many.
After all, she had also spent some effort assisting her junior schoolmate with this script.
Yang Yue looked at the exceptionally refined girl before her and sighed, shaking her head, "No, you did an excellent job."
It was just that she, the "predecessor," might soon be washed up on the beach.
After a moment of reflection, Yang Yue smiled again.
It was her good fortune to be able to teach such a talented student.
"Have you finished looking at Shuyu's script?"
"Yes, I have. Teacher Yang, please take a look."
"Mm."
"These are the parts I marked earlier, with a few places highlighted in red. Take another look at them. For our kind of translation work, it's more convenient to do it this way."
Qiu Xi listened and, with a thoughtful expression, took the materials back. "Okay, I'll look again."
This was her first time encountering practical work of this nature; the previous exercises had all been provided by her master. Therefore, Qiu Xi was aware of some issues.
She would take this opportunity to learn properly and then seek further guidance from her master, which would undoubtedly be beneficial.
As she spoke, while Teacher Yang was looking at the hosting script, Qiu Xi began to examine the annotated sections.
Meanwhile, Ming Shuyu, who was beside them, had nothing much to do with her head bowed, so she quickly followed Qiu Xi's lead and began to read the materials Qiu Xi had already reviewed.
The more she read, the more she felt the seniority and capability of this senior schoolmate.
For this kind of material organization, she estimated it would take her quite some time to be able to organize things independently.
*Hoo~*
Such an outstanding senior schoolmate truly made one unable to feel jealous; she could only admire her.
Indeed, what people say is true: when someone is excellent to a certain degree, you truly cannot be jealous; you can only genuinely feel they are outstanding and strive to admire and catch up.
After a while longer, Yang Yue put down the script she was holding and started to laugh to herself.
"Qiu Xi, I feel that with you, our teacher-student combination is more than capable of handling major tasks. As for me, I'm just here to enjoy the ride."
Qiu Xi quickly replied, "Teacher, please don't tease your student. I can't bear such praise!"
"Hahaha~ You young lady, you're still too modest~"
"Alright, enough said. You both did a great job. This script is passed. I can handle the rest myself."
Hearing Yang Yue say this, Qiu Xi and Ming Shuyu immediately felt a sense of relief.
"Even though this matter is settled, I still need to test you both on the booklet portion. Otherwise, if any problems arise, it won't be good to handle."
"So, have you both understood and memorized it?"
What needed to continue, still had to continue.
After asking as a formality, Yang Yue began directly.
"Qiu Xi, you're the senior. Set an example for your junior schoolmate, okay?"
Qiu Xi naturally nodded, "Teacher Yang, I have no problem with that."
Whether it was before or after, Qiu Xi didn't care. For this type of content that required understanding and memorization, she felt no psychological pressure at all.
Yang Yue also smiled happily, "Alright then, let's begin."
"Mm."
