"How was your morning?"
During the midday break, Qiu Xi and Liang Yunfei agreed to have lunch together.
"..." Qiu Xi looked up, her eyes filled with a hint of resentment as she looked at Liang Yunfei.
"Little Feifei, are you gloating?"
"Hahahahaha~"
Liang Yunfei laughed heartily. "Can I say... just a little?"
"..."
"I really didn't expect Jing Shu to be so... formidable!"
"I only mentioned it to her yesterday, and this morning as soon as I arrived, it was all piled up for me. Was this planned in advance?"
Recalling the pile of documents left in her office, Qiu Xi couldn't help but want to massage her own head.
Her head hurt!
"Jing Shu had no choice, you have to be understanding as the big boss!" Liang Yunfei said to Qiu Xi as she ate.
"Jing Shu has always had the habit of organizing documents. She was preparing them even before you came. I went through the same thing. If I hadn't stayed at the company, my life wouldn't have been much different from yours."
"It's also because Jing Shu is here. Otherwise, you might have had even more to deal with!"
"Pei Ge and Qin Qin aren't very good at this kind of work. For specific plans and written content, it's basically after Jing Shu's secondary processing. Otherwise, you wouldn't even have time to talk to me right now."
"..." Qiu Xi cast a helpless glance at Liang Yunfei.
Swallowing the food in her mouth, Qiu Xi chuckled lightly, "Alright, I was just saying it for the sake of it, otherwise my mouth would be too lonely."
"..."
"If your mouth is lonely, go find Nan Hua. Don't nag me here."
As she said this, Liang Yunfei looked at Qiu Xi mischievously. "Xiao Xi, if you're too embarrassed to say it, I can be your messenger."
"Hmm? Consider it~"
"Liang Yunfei!"
Qiu Xi's composure broke. "What are you thinking about all day!"
"Put away those colorful words quickly!"
"Hahahahaha~"
"Are you feeling shy?" Liang Yunfei blinked at Qiu Xi.
"What's our relationship that I would be shy?" Qiu Xi retorted, lifting her chin.
"Mmm~" Liang Yunfei nodded with interest.
"That's right! You two are together all day, even living together. You shouldn't be shy!"
The more Liang Yunfei spoke, the more reasonable she found her argument, nodding in agreement.
"But... you two are together day and night, don't you ever... lose control?"
As the face suddenly leaned closer, Qiu Xi was startled and immediately pulled her head back.
"You... in public, at least tone it down..."
Seeing the blush on her friend's face, Liang Yunfei laughed even more heartily.
"What's the big deal? No one's here now, it's fine~"
"....Shameless!"
"I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going back to look at the documents. You should head back too."
Saying that, Qiu Xi wiped her mouth and got up, leaving the restaurant.
"Hey~"
"Still so easily teased~" Liang Yunfei watched Qiu Xi's retreating back with a smile.
Afterward, Liang Yunfei also tidied up and returned to her office.
"Hoo~"
"This Little Feifei is really becoming more and more unrestrained!"
"Not at all like her initial cool demeanor!"
As expected of someone who found a partner early, she didn't shy away from discussing adult matters.
The heat on Qiu Xi's face gradually subsided. Although she was quite accepting, when the joke turned to herself, the feeling was different.
Muttering a few complaints, Qiu Xi sat down and began to drink water.
After calming herself for a while, she began to handle the documents at hand.
While looking at the information on the computer, she quietly read the contract files in her hands.
...
3 PM.
"Sister Xi, the conference room is ready. You can head over now."
Qiu Xi, who had been looking at documents for a large part of the afternoon, was about to close her eyes for a short rest when someone from downstairs came to inform her.
"Alright, I'll be right there."
"Okay."
As soon as the person left, Qiu Xi stood up.
"So tiring!" she exclaimed, picking up her laptop and heading to the conference room downstairs.
"Sister Xi, it's been a while."
As soon as she entered, Chu Lanzhi and the others greeted her.
"Mm, it has been quite some time since we last saw each other. So the gift you prepared for me is quite substantial, isn't it!" Qiu Xi said with a smile, looking at everyone.
"Not at all!"
"Sister Xi is joking. It's all what we should be doing."
"Alright, alright, I won't talk about this with you. Let's start the meeting first."
"We'll chat and catch up after the meeting."
"You got it~"
"We'll do as Sister Xi says."
"Mm, let's begin then."
"Okay."
With that, several people began to report in turn.
Qiu Xi listened and took notes, occasionally pausing to ask questions.
...
This single meeting lasted for a full three hours.
By the time the meeting ended, it was already dark outside.
"Sister Xi, then we..."
Qiu Xi looked at her phone. "Alright, that's all for today. We'll discuss the rest tomorrow morning."
Everyone still had work to finish. If they delayed any further, they would probably have to work overtime tonight.
"Sister Xi, then we'll be leaving. See you tomorrow."
"Mm, go ahead. See you tomorrow."
"Okay."
"Jing Shu, I'll send you a file later. Tell the people below that I have time recently and will be at the company. Some matters can be handled together."
Even though Qiu Xi might not appear at the company for months, apart from trivial matters, she understood everything else thoroughly.
"Sister Xi, just send it. I'll make sure it's conveyed properly." Song Jing Shu didn't ask any further questions about Qiu Xi's statement.
After the three-hour meeting, she understood quite a bit.
Even though their leader didn't appear at the company often, she truly didn't overlook any important matters.
During the meeting just now, several of them were left speechless by her questions.
If she herself couldn't explain anything clearly, that would be one thing... but then, after she finished asking and was asked questions in return, she could explain everything clearly. It was truly... a bit infuriating, but also very admirable.
Song Jing Shu thought these things to herself.
"Alright, that's all for now. You can go back too. Leave work early."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Xi."
With that, Song Jing Shu gathered her things and left the conference room.
Qiu Xi glanced around and also stood up, returning to her office.
"Xiao Xi, your arrival has really dealt another huge blow to everyone."
Liang Yunfei, who had returned earlier, was waiting for her in Qiu Xi's office.
"This is just the beginning!" Qiu Xi chuckled and shook her head.
"Besides, this isn't a blow, it's clearly motivation!"
"..." Liang Yunfei glanced at Qiu Xi with a smile.
"If this is motivation for you, then probably no one in our company would want motivation ever again."
Everyone who attended the meeting today, not one escaped. She had personally greeted each of them. They were probably still complaining now that the long meeting had finally ended!
"That's an exaggeration, an exaggeration!"
"It's not that bad!" Qiu Xi shook her head repeatedly.
"Alright, I called you here to discuss important matters. Let's finish talking quickly so we can leave work early."
Liang Yunfei nodded, "Indeed. Let's discuss business first."
"Come here."
...
Meanwhile, at the company—
"Our Sister Xi! She's truly amazing!"
Employees attending Qiu Xi's meeting for the first time began to murmur.
"My legs are still a bit weak."
The person next to them asked in confusion, "Why are your legs weak? Did the boss reprimand you?"
"That can't be right?"
Although it was a large meeting today, based on the flow, it was a normal reporting meeting. It shouldn't have caused much anger, right?
The person speaking shook their head, "Not at all!"
"It's just that our big boss's aura is too strong, I couldn't handle it..."
"Didn't they say Sister Xi is very good-looking? She should be easy to talk to, right?"
"She is very good-looking! Rarely do you see such a beautiful person in normal times... But when she sat there and asked me, and I couldn't answer, I... got scared!"
"..."
They never expected this to be the reason.
"You can say that again!" The person who returned with them also had a dejected look.
"I answered, but not to the point, and I was stumped. I was also scared..."
"With Sister Xi around from now on, I don't even want to attend meetings anymore..."
"When she sits there and doesn't speak, her aura is present, but it's still alright. But the moment she speaks, especially when she asks me, I feel terrible..."
Those who weren't present shook their heads, "Isn't this because you're too incompetent?"
"..."
"Yes!" The two nodded.
"Then you go next time!"
"......As for me, I don't think I need to! I couldn't even keep up this time. You guys keep trying next time!"
"Heh heh~"
"You'll keep up!"
"..."
If only they hadn't spoken up.
Although the few people were murmuring and complaining, they were actually quite satisfied in their hearts.
The boss was very capable, especially in terms of salary, very capable!
They were quite satisfied.
