"So, it seems you're quite capable, this little lady," Tong Mei murmured.
Standing out from the same training and possessing such a level, this person must be truly remarkable.
"How do you feel about the tasks I've assigned you these past two days?"
Having reached this point, Tong Mei didn't intend to pry any further. As long as this person was genuinely talented and truly collaborating with their company, that would suffice.
It would be best if this individual could stay on.
Hearing Tong Mei's question, Qiu Xi knew this was what she wanted to know.
However, in a way, she might disappoint again.
"Sister Tong, to be honest, the difficulty wasn't much."
"As I mentioned earlier, I've had some prior exposure. Although my practical experience is limited, my memory is quite good, so I had no issues when it came to execution."
Tong Mei's eyes lit up, and a smile curved her lips. "The way you put it, I'm genuinely intrigued."
"Here, try this." Tong Mei took out two pieces of paper from her bag.
"This is a part of the work I need to handle today, just a fragment. Give it a try and see if it's difficult."
"Alright, I'll give it a shot." Qiu Xi took the papers.
Opportunities were presenting themselves, and she couldn't let them pass.
Taking the papers, Qiu Xi began to read them carefully.
Time slowly passed. Initially, Qiu Xi scanned the papers casually, but as she continued, she started twirling her pen, her gaze becoming increasingly focused.
Tong Mei watched from the side, her smile becoming more pronounced.
It seemed this young lady wasn't unfazed by everything...
However, she hadn't considered that the two sheets in Qiu Xi's hand were initially meant for her to complete, and the content itself was incomplete.
After about twenty minutes, Qiu Xi finally started writing.
Once she began, Qiu Xi's speed picked up considerably. In about five minutes, she handed the completed papers back to Tong Mei.
Capping her pen, Qiu Xi set it down.
"Sister Tong, please take a look. Are you satisfied with this?"
As the pressure eased, Qiu Xi couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.
These two sheets alone made her realize that coming here was the right decision.
If she had stayed in school, or continued with her master and teacher, she might never have encountered such cases without experiencing them firsthand.
These two sheets had taken her nearly half an hour, indicating a significant level of difficulty.
"..."
As Qiu Xi was reflecting, Tong Mei's internal reaction was no less impactful.
With a solution like this, after removing related materials and making a few minor adjustments, it could be finalized and completed.
Even for herself, her speed was only marginally faster than this young lady's.
This Qiu Xi was truly a constant source of pleasant surprises.
Especially her final conjectures, many of which hit the mark, even though she hadn't seen any other supporting documents.
Making a few more scribbles on the paper, Tong Mei put the papers and pen back into her bag.
Once everything was tidied up, Tong Mei looked at Qiu Xi and spoke after a long pause.
"Qiu Xi, I truly admire you!"
This was the truth, heartfelt and genuine praise.
Qiu Xi was momentarily stunned and nodded, "Thank you. Compared to you, Sister Tong, I still have a lot of effort to put in."
"..."
Not showing any modesty at all...
"Sister Tong, since you're satisfied, then here..."
Qiu Xi was no longer "shy" at this point, directly asking for what she wanted.
Tong Mei glanced at Qiu Xi with amusement. "I thought you had more patience!"
"Why did you say it so directly now?"
Qiu Xi blinked, then chuckled generously, "Look at what you're saying, Sister Tong!"
"Even if I were more patient, I'm facing you, aren't I?"
"I'm working under you now, so I have to strive for it," Qiu Xi added, winking at Tong Mei.
"..."
She hadn't expected such a beautiful young woman to have such a thick skin...
"Alright, I won't joke with you anymore. I know your capabilities now, and naturally, I can't have you doing trivial tasks anymore."
Knowing this and letting her continue would only mean greater losses for herself.
Qiu Xi listened and nodded in agreement.
Indeed, a capable leader should know how to reasonably and flexibly utilize the human resources around them.
"For the next few days, you don't need to wait for me to assign tasks. After the morning meeting each day, you'll stay behind, and I'll directly give you work from my end."
"In other aspects, it will be the same as the past two days. If you can finish early, you can leave for the day."
"However, if you don't finish, you'll have to work overtime to complete it!"
"Do you understand this?"
If the work she handed out was left for the next day, Tong Mei would rather do it herself. If that were the case, she wouldn't need this person.
Even if some things could be postponed, if one thing was postponed, it would lead to others. She didn't want such a situation to occur in the company.
Therefore, it was necessary to prevent such occurrences from the outset, thereby solving endless troubles for herself in the future.
Tong Mei's serious tone did not seem unreasonable to Qiu Xi, who nodded straightforwardly.
"Sister Tong, rest assured, I have no problem with that."
If she were actually in a situation where she had to work overtime, she would be happy!
This would give her topics to discuss with her master.
This was a good thing!
"Since you say so, I trust you."
"Here, this is also for you, it's connected to the two sheets you wrote earlier. Your task for today is this. Any problems?"
Qiu Xi shook her head with a smile. "No."
If Tong Mei hadn't said anything, she might have been a bit more audacious, directly asking for it after their chat or discussing it with her.
What she had written earlier was just a starting point, and she was curious...
But now, she was content, having received the complete task.
"Then, Sister Tong, you get busy. I'll go get started on mine."
"Mhm, go ahead."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tong Mei watched Qiu Xi quickly walk away.
"..."
She was certainly fast...
But it remained to be seen if she could maintain that speed today...
Tong Mei murmured to herself for a moment before finally tidying up with a light smile.
Today's workload was a bit lighter, allowing for some relaxation.
If Qiu Xi continued to be this capable in the future, their year-end performance would certainly be on track.
Perhaps they could even achieve a slight increase!
