A while had passed since their last discussion.
The day after Qiuxi finished speaking with a few people, she began the process of registering her company.
It took her two to three days of free time to finally get everything done.
The company name was eventually decided as "Xi Guang" (æŠć ).
It was a spur-of-the-moment decision, but it perfectly aligned with Qiuxi's vision.
After she finished her tasks, there was still some time before the official establishment. Qiuxi handed over the remaining matters to Liang Yunfei.
This girl was so engrossed in her studies that now, besides attending classes and preparing for exams, she spent all her free time at the company, learning from everyone.
There was also an acquaintance, Liu Qing. Qiuxi felt like she might poach her, but she wondered if Uncle Song would want to have a word with them later.
"Xiao Xi, the CAtti exam is the day after tomorrow. Since we're all here, how about we quiz each other again?"
Everyone had been very busy recently, and Shen Yan couldn't find a time when they were all together.
If one were to ask who was the freest in the dormitory now, it would undoubtedly be her.
Apart from attending classes and writing scripts, she had nothing else to do.
So, when she was preparing, there was no one to accompany her.
Now that they were finally all together, she thought it would be good to review together again.
"I have no problem, ask Dai Yao and Xiao Fei Fei."
"Okay."
Before they could even speak, the two of them had already gotten up and sat by the table.
"We're fine with it~"
Since it was their first exam, all of them had only registered for the Level 3 Translation exam.
Qiuxi had other ideas, but time did not permit. Furthermore, her master had advised her to take it step by step. With the constraint of the certification task, Qiuxi was not rushing for quick success.
Therefore, for the exam the day after tomorrow, they all felt confident, and when they quizzed each other, they answered readily.
After practicing for over half an hour, the four of them put down their books.
Shen Yan was the first to exclaim, "This time, I feel confident for the exam!"
Song Daiyao nodded in agreement, "Of course!"
They had diligently studied with Xiao Xi for so long, and it shouldn't be in vain.
Now, as long as they didn't stay away from English for too long, their level was not bad.
Even if it wasn't great, to be modest, it was still acceptable.
"Alright, since we're done, let's get some sleep early. We have Old Yan's morning class tomorrow."
"Oh, right!"
Although more than two years had passed, and they were all familiar with Old Yan, no one dared to be slack in his class.
Calling out names was a minor issue; it was answering questions. The worst was that Old Yan loved his usual habit of "gossiping."
However, this was a world of difference compared to their first year!
Back then, they at least had time to prepare. Now, he would catch someone and start questioning them about what he liked to read. So, everyone was well-behaved, unless they were like their Xi Jie, able to answer any question and even ask them back, otherwise, they were all cautious, fearing they might be caught by Old Yan.
"Rest, rest."
After thinking about it, the few of them quickly tidied up and went straight to bed.
...
Two days later, their CAtti translation exams were over.
Qiuxi and Liang Yunfei headed directly to the company due to some matters.
Song Daiyao went to an group meeting, and Shen Yan, having nothing else to do, went back to work on her game script.
Outer College Teaching Building.
In an office, Yang Yue was holding a meeting with five students under her.
"You have all been training with me for quite some time. Next, there will be a trade negotiation conference, and this will be the starting point for our project."
"Once the detailed information is distributed, I will also provide you with a copy. Everyone, please be prepared."
"Alright, I've said what I needed to say. Do you have any questions?"
Yang Yue organized the materials in her hands and asked the seated students.
"Teacher, do we know the specific time yet?"
"It's not confirmed yet, but it should be around late November or December."
"Will it just be us few? What will we be doing?"
"How could it just be you few? The department has arranged for others as well. You will be responsible for organizing the information and keeping records."
"Okay."
"If there are no more questions, we'll adjourn. Everyone go back and prepare well."
"Yes, teacher."
At the same time, in the college teachers' meeting room.
"The trade negotiation conference is being taken very seriously at the higher levels. Since it's being arranged here, we must be fully prepared and absolutely no mistakes should occur!"
"Dean, we all know. We will certainly prepare meticulously according to the plan."
"Good."
"I'm not worried about these higher-level matters, but regarding the students, have the personnel been finalized?"
"Yes, besides the few that Teacher Yang Yue brought in, the others have also been selected. The teachers will inform them later."
"Excellent!"
"The training must be well-communicated. This is a rare opportunity for learning."
"Absolutely!"
"Alright, let's continue the meeting, regarding..."
...
After the CAtti exams concluded, time quickly advanced to mid-month.
And Qiuxi's company, after some preparation, was finally officially established.
The renovation work was also proceeding as normal.
On this day.
In the conference room of Xi Guang Company.
Qiuxi and Liang Yunfei walked in, appearing much more serious than usual.
"Everyone knows what we are here to do today."
The others nodded, "Yes."
"So, we won't talk much about expressing our commitment."
As she spoke, Qiuxi glanced at Liang Yunfei.
"Yunfei, show them the contracts."
Liang Yunfei handed the contracts, which had been placed beside her, to everyone.
"There's quite a bit of content, please look through it carefully."
The three nodded, "Okay."
Then, taking the presented contracts, they began to read them intently.
After a long while, Pei Wen was the first to put down his pen.
The conditions were already very good. Even by his normal graduation standards, he might not have received such treatment.
He was very happy.
"Xi Jie, here."
Qiuxi smiled, "Aren't you going to negotiate any further conditions?"
Pei Wen shook his head, his hand gently pushing the multi-page contract forward.
"Xi Jie's offered conditions are very good."
"Good."
Qiuxi picked up a pen from the side and signed her name. As soon as the pen was lifted, two more contracts appeared before her.
"Xi Jie, please sign ours too."
Song Jingzhu and Chu Lanzhi, on the other side of the contract, looked determined, smiling relaxedly.
"Sure!"
The contracts were signed in duplicate.
