"Lan Zhi, the remaining studio location and renovation matters will be up to you."
The studio's location was chosen within their office building, but the specifics were their business.
Her task for today was completed.
"Sister Xi, don't worry, I will handle this properly," Chu Lan Zhi assured Qiu Xi.
"Alright then, that's all for today." Seeing that it was almost 1 PM, if she hadn't eaten a substantial breakfast, her stomach would likely be rumbling by now.
"Okay, Sister Xi."
After hearing this, Qiu Xi walked out first, followed by Liang Yun Fei and Song Jing Shu.
"Jing Shu, you can take charge of the subsequent matters. Report back to me once progress is made."
"Sister Xi, please rest assured. I will contact you if anything comes up."
Qiu Xi and Liang Yun Fei had informed Song Jing Shu upon their arrival that they would not be coming daily as they needed to focus on preparing for their exams.
In reality, it was mostly Liang Yun Fei who meant this.
"Alright, then we won't say any more. We'll be heading back now."
"Aren't you joining us for lunch?"
This was too rushed...
"No, I have something else to attend to. You all enjoy your meal."
"We can talk about it after these two months. I should have more time then."
"Okay, then be careful on your way."
"Mhm, bye bye~"
With that, the two walked out.
"Jing Shu, where's Sister Xi?"
Chu Lan Zhi followed behind them. In just a moment, she realized only Song Jing Shu was left.
"They both went back early because of something."
"It's not like they couldn't spare the time for a meal..."
"Never mind, they're gone. Let's just go eat."
She hadn't even finished her own tasks...
"Oh, right..."
"Qin Qin, Chen Shuo, let's go have lunch together."
"Okay~"
...
"Xiao Xi, you're placing such a big stake on Sister Qin. Aren't you afraid of being taken advantage of?"
After signing the contract and coming out, Liang Yun Fei was still a bit stunned!
Such a grand gesture, Xiao Xi truly... had guts!
She just didn't know if Xi Qin Qin would be as reliable.
"Not at all!"
"It's not that much anyway. If it fails, we'll just try again."
Qiu Xi's reply was so bold!
"Alright, the contract is signed anyway. We'll just have to wait and see."
"Indeed~"
"Let's go, time for lunch!"
"Mhm."
...
Early July-
In the blink of an eye, Qiu Xi and the others' final exams were over.
"Xiao Xi, when are you going home?"
Now that the exams were finished, it was equivalent to the start of their holidays.
However, as they were in their final year this semester, they would need to go for internships during this summer break.
"I... I might not be able to go back for another couple of days."
"Several of us have arranged to meet with Teacher Yan before the holiday to have a simple group meeting."
Although Qiu Xi was very familiar with Teacher Yan, so whether or not this meeting happened didn't make much difference to her. However, out of the four people in their group, besides herself and Xiao Fei Fei, the other two were not too familiar with Teacher Yan.
More importantly, Qiu Xi was also quite unfamiliar with them.
Therefore, this group meeting was quite necessary. When they started writing their theses, they might need to help each other!
"Xiao Xi, you're already preparing for this group meeting..."
"We also proposed it on our end, but the teacher hasn't confirmed the time yet."
Shen Yan mused, recalling a recent message in their group chat, and murmured.
"Mhm, Teacher Yan just told us the time."
"Dai Yao, Xiao Fei Fei, what about you two?"
Song Dai Yao nodded, "Teacher Yang Yue also said the sooner the better, urging us to start working earlier."
In fact, the teacher had seen too many students start working only when the deadline was near, and she didn't want them to procrastinate, which would eventually tire her out...
After Song Dai Yao finished speaking, Liang Yun Fei also nodded. Since she was grouped with Xiao Xi, she would naturally attend the group meeting with her.
"Oh, right... I almost forgot you and Xiao Xi are in the same group..."
"Alright then, we'll all just be together this summer!"
"What else can we do? This internship matter hasn't been settled yet, and I don't want to go back."
Going back for a trip and then returning soon after was not cost-effective and also a waste of time...
"Speaking of internships, what are your plans? Are you following the school's arrangements?"
Shen Yan was most concerned about the matters of theses and internships.
One reason was that she wasn't very familiar with the teacher she had chosen. Another was that she was the most free in the dorm right now, so she talked more.
At first, she had thought of just getting a stamp and a certificate upon returning...
After all, she was still planning to strive for a recommendation for postgraduate studies or to take the postgraduate entrance exam... this internship was proving to be a bit of a time-waster for her.
"Internship? I'm planning to find a temporary translation job and then write a report on translation practice for my thesis."
Song Dai Yao had already made up her mind. She had also sought help from Teacher Yang Yue for this. She would start right when the holiday began, which was about the right timing. The work wouldn't be too tiring and would still leave her with time for studying.
"Me too!"
"And me!"
After Song Dai Yao spoke, Qiu Xi and Liang Yun Fei also chimed in.
