At 6 PM, Room 402 of the Outer Court Teaching Building.
"Good evening, Teacher Yang."
"Good evening."
"Since you are both here, we can begin."
Yang Yue, who had just entered, sat down after putting her bag down, looking at the two people already seated.
"Okay."
With that, Qiu Xi and the other person sat down with their pens, waiting for the teacher to speak.
"Before I start talking about the training, I want to tell you both that for this trade negotiation conference, I will be serving as both a translator and a host."
"There is also another teacher who will be doing the same. To prevent any overlap, our time slots will be staggered."
"Of course, this also means that you two might have more work to do."
"Therefore, I hope you will all do your best, and we will work together to get things done well."
With a few words, Yang Yue explained the situation to the two, hoping they would be prepared in advance.
After all, staying by her side, even if it was for less than a month, would be truly tiring!
"Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand."
"Understood."
Qiu Xi was also surprised that the teacher who was taking on both roles was Teacher Yang Yue. She was a little astonished.
However, pressure of this kind was not a big problem for her.
Ming Shuyu, on the other hand, probably wasn't very familiar with such occasions. Although she responded verbally, her rapidly blinking eyes betrayed her.
Not only Qiu Xi but also Yang Yue noticed this.
"Don't worry, there is still time. Just follow your senior sister Qiu, and you'll be fine."
Ming Shuyu was startled, then smiled and nodded, "Okay, I will definitely learn well from Senior Sister."
"Good, then let's continue."
"For the next period of time, I don't have many requirements for you. You all received the handbook from the department during the meeting this afternoon, right? Spend a few days understanding and memorizing it. This is your most important task right now."
"Remember, it's about understanding and memorizing!"
"You also need to understand the background information involved, which will make your work much easier."
"This is the first thing I need to discuss today. Have you all noted it down?"
As soon as the teacher finished speaking, Qiu Xi indicated that she understood.
Ming Shuyu, beside her, quickly wrote down the last point and nodded as well.
"Then let's move on to the next matter, which is also the last item we will discuss today, and it is the task I have for you."
As Yang Yue spoke, she took out two stacks of A4 papers clipped together from her bag.
"These are the hosting scripts to be used later, but they are from the previous ones and need to be revised according to the conference content. This task is not difficult and is assigned to you, Shuyu."
"If you have any problems, you can ask me or your senior sister."
With that, Yang Yue handed a document to Ming Shuyu.
Ming Shuyu took it and replied, "Okay, Teacher."
"As for you, Xiao Xi, this is all the material related to our conference translation. It's quite a lot, so please take it back, organize it, and mark it. The relevant terminology and data must be accurate."
"I will send the detailed requirements to our group chat of three later, so please remember to check it."
"Okay, Teacher."
Qiu Xi looked at the somewhat thick documents before her and felt that it was indeed a lot.
"The workload is quite substantial. If you two have time, you can also come here and divide the work together. It will also help you understand the main content of this conference."
"Of course, it's not a big deal if you don't have time. After you've organized it, I'll review it and make revisions. I will also go over it with you for training after I've read it."
"Okay, then we will try our best to find time to study together."
She could only try her best. The other training was probably going to start before the trade conference even began.
Moreover, recently, in addition to her master's tasks, she also had company matters to attend to. Although not much, she went in her spare time, so it was really difficult to find time.
Besides, the teacher also said that she would personally train them later, so it was best to save time if possible.
"Alright, then that's all I have to say for today. Do you have any other questions?"
Qiu Xi shook her head, indicating that she didn't.
"Teacher, I don't have any questions either. If I have any later, I'll ask you and Senior Sister in the group chat."
"Mm."
"We've also taken up quite a bit of time, so please take your things and head back now."
She had been talking for almost an hour and was a bit thirsty.
"Okay, Teacher, we'll be leaving now."
"Go ahead."
"Teacher, goodbye."
"Goodbye, Senior Sister."
"Senior Sister, are you going back now?"
As they walked out, Ming Shuyu's voice was heard.
"Yes, I'm going back to the dormitory."
"Which building do you live in, Senior Sister?"
"Seventeen, and you?"
"I'm in eighteen. We can go back together!"
"Okay."
Indeed, buildings seventeen and eighteen were right next to each other, sharing the same entrance.
As they spoke, the two walked towards the dormitory buildings together.
On the way, Ming Shuyu would occasionally ask a question or two.
"Senior Sister, do you have a lot of free time later? We can do it together."
As they approached the entrance, Ming Shuyu remembered Teacher Yang's words and asked one last time.
"I might, but probably not much. Maybe only once a week, and it's not confirmed."
"Alright..."
"But if you have any real problems, you can message me directly, and I'll reply if I have time."
Ming Shuyu's mood improved with Qiu Xi's last statement.
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Sister."
"It's no trouble. We're in this together."
"Alright, we're here. I'll head back now. Bye."
"Senior Sister, bye~"
When Qiu Xi returned to her dormitory, she found that the lights were off and the door was locked. It seemed everyone was busy these days.
Taking advantage of the quiet emptiness, Qiu Xi began to look at the materials given by Teacher Yang Yue.
However, as soon as she opened it, the system's voice sounded again.
"Beep!"
"Mission issued: Complete the trade negotiation conference task until its successful conclusion. Reward: 50,000 cash, Language Immersion Environment Adaptation Training *1 (French Version)."
This time, Qiu Xi knew what the reward was without needing to ask Xiao Hua.
It was just adding three words, she understood, as she had experienced it before.
However, speaking of which, this reward was indeed timely. For her two foreign languages, apart from attending classes weekly, she hadn't really practiced them for some time.
It wasn't that she didn't want to, but the conditions didn't quite permit it.
Moreover, the knowledge gained from the current classes was no longer sufficient for her. After all, she had already learned it once during the system task. Now, it was just about consolidation, review, and deepening her understanding.
Therefore, this reward was truly a timely arrival.
