"Sisters!"
"Then we'll see you again next year~"
...
By the end of December, for the graduating seniors who had finished all their tasks, there was no longer any need to stay at school.
So Qiu Xi and her friends gathered before New Year's Day to prepare to leave school early.
Song Daiyao and Shen Yan were planning to go home separately, while Liang Yunfei intended to move directly to the company and stay until before the New Year before going home.
As for Qiu Xi, she naturally packed her things and went home.
However, it was only these past two days that Teacher Jin's training was about to end, which meant her practical project learning was about to begin.
"Alright, alright, drink a little less, be careful you won't be able to walk later." Qiu Xi looked at the three people whose faces were already flushed with smiles, intentionally stopping them from continuing.
Since the incident of getting drunk after "one cup" before, she no longer drank, for fear of causing another embarrassing situation.
She wouldn't drink, but these three were more capable of drinking than each other...
"Xiao Xi, don't worry! The three of us are different from you, we can handle it..."
"Yes... yes! We're still sober now!"
Qiu Xi, "..."
Can handle it? Sober?
Looking at them speaking with slurred tongues, Qiu Xi's face immediately showed two black lines.
"Okay, okay, let's get ready to leave."
If they continued like this, they'd probably sleep on the floor outside tonight...
Saying this, Qiu Xi quickly paid the bill and helped the three of them out, one by one.
Fortunately, it was within the school, so she wasn't afraid of any major problems.
When the three returned to the dormitory, except for Qiu Xi, all three of them, as soon as they touched a stool, slumped down.
Qiu Xi watched for a long time. Finally, having no other choice, she directly redeemed three hangover pills with not very obvious effects from the system store, mixed them with water, and gave them to the three to drink. Only then could they properly clean up and sleep.
The next day -
"Alright, I'm going back first. You three can clean up slowly on your own."
As Qiu Xi finished packing and prepared to leave, Song Daiyao and the other two slowly got down from their beds.
"Okay... Goodbye, Xiao Xi."
"Mhm."
...
"Xiao Xi, your German has reached an introductory level, so you can take a few days off to rest well."
In mid-January, Qiu Xi finally received recognition from her master, and she could temporarily end her new language learning.
It was a worthy reward for her diligent study over the past three months, with system classes every night, which was not just for show.
"Thank you, Master~"
With her young disciple's sweet demeanor, if he continued to smile, it would surely undermine his image as a strict teacher.
So Du Bin deliberately pursed his lips, raised his right fist to his mouth to cover it, "Alright, it's only because you're about to go out and be busy again that I'm giving you a few days off."
"Yes! I knew Master was the most considerate of his little disciple~"
Qiu Xi saw through her master's thoughts, but it was just his way of joking with her.
"Okay, okay!"
"Hurry up and pack up and leave me, so I don't regret letting you start classes right away!" Du Bin said, giving Qiu Xi a sidelong glance.
"Alright~ I'll leave right away."
There were indeed things to do, so Qiu Xi acted playful for a bit and then left.
As soon as she returned to her room, Qiu Xi started looking at the materials that Teacher Jin had given her a couple of days ago.
The training base was already on holiday, and her and Nian Lanqi's practical project learning would be in the next couple of days. Therefore, Teacher Jin wanted them to understand as much as possible.
...
Time flew by, and it was the day Qiu Xi was to begin her practical learning.
At the appointed time, Qiu Xi arrived at the training base punctually.
"Good morning, Teacher Jin."
"You're here, sit down first."
One more person hadn't arrived yet, so they had to wait.
"Teacher Jin, how long will this study take?"
While waiting, Qiu Xi started chatting with Teacher Jin.
"That's hard to say. It depends on your levels. If you're good, it can end quickly. If not, it's possible it will be delayed until after the New Year."
"Is it that difficult?" Qiu Xi didn't quite understand the specific situation of this task yet.
"It's not that it's difficult. For you, it's not a professional problem, but rather an issue of adaptability and attitude towards handling matters."
"Of course, without a certain level of professional skill, it won't work either. However, at this stage, the test for you is a bit more. But as long as your attitude is serious, it should not be a problem."
Jin Qiong was quite confident about these two children, as they had stood out in this doubly difficult selection, so their professional skills would definitely be fine.
As for other aspects, they would only know after they started the practical work.
Qiu Xi listened to the long explanation and nodded with some understanding, "So that's how it is..."
"Then I'll have to trouble Teacher Jin a lot then~"
"What trouble? It's what we teachers should do. If you can finish smoothly sooner, we teachers can also go back and rest. There are a lot of things to do after the New Year, so this is the only time we can rest."
"Hehe~" Qiu Xi smiled charmingly, "I will definitely work hard and let you teachers rest early."
"Hahahaha~"
"You're the one who knows how to talk, girl~"
She really hadn't misjudged her back then~
"Teacher Jin..."
Just as Jin Qiong was reminiscing, there was a sound from outside.
"Come in if you're here, it's quite cold outside."
Seeing Nian Lanqi only poking her head out, Jin Qiong's conversation stopped, and she called her in.
"Teacher Jin, I was delayed on the way, I'm truly sorry." As soon as Nian Lanqi entered, before she could even steady herself, she started apologizing.
"It's all minor things, no big deal. Come and sit down first."
"Okay."
After both of them were seated, Jin Qiong, the "noob," continued speaking.
"Have you finished reading the materials I sent you before?"
"Mhm." The two nodded.
"Good, it's fine that you've finished reading them." Jin Qiong nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.
It's good that they've all read it, so they won't just stare blankly when they get there.
"Then I'll tell you the specific situation again. Try to absorb it, and we'll head to the destination directly after I finish explaining."
"Okay."
After nodding, Qiu Xi immediately took out her small notebook to record as she listened.
Seeing this, Nian Lanqi also put her notebook away.
Jin Qiong saw that both of them were ready and began to describe the situation to them.
