“Xiao Xi, then it’s settled. Tomorrow, I’ll go to school with Teacher Qi to find you, and you can show me around Xiguang.”
After their conversation, Zheng Jiu had a better understanding of things.
She felt she could give it a try; after all, there was no better option for her right now.
Even if there were other options, she felt this trip was worth taking.
A person in her early twenties who already had her own successful career was truly intriguing.
Qiu Xi smiled and nodded, “Madam, please come. I’ll take you.”
“Good, then it’s decided.”
“Okay.”
“By the way, do you mind if I bring someone else?”
She was stepping back from the front lines now, and bringing a younger person along would be more convenient.
“Of course. I’ll send you the address shortly. When we leave tomorrow, you can have your person come directly.”
“That would be great. Let’s do that.”
Zheng Jiu looked at Qiu Xi with increasing satisfaction.
“Jiu, it’s getting late. Why don’t we let the children head back first?”
Qi Xizhi emerged from inside and saw the other three standing by the kitchen door.
Glancing at the time, he realized it was indeed late. Any later and it would be completely dark.
“See, it’s getting late!” Zheng Jiu said as she stood up.
She called out to the four children, “You all hurry back now. Be safe.”
“Madam, we’ll be going back now. We’ll visit you again when we have time.”
“Yes, yes, you’re welcome anytime. My home always welcomes you.”
“Hurry back and be safe.”
“Okay, goodbye Teacher, Madam.”
“Mm, goodbye.”
With that, Qiu Xi and the other three walked out.
They didn’t chat much on the way back to school.
After returning home, Qiu Xi thought about it and decided to inform Song Jingshu and the others in the group chat about her Madam Zheng Jiu wanting to visit the company.
She also instructed them to gather detailed information to avoid any major issues.
Once everything was taken care of, Qiu Xi relaxed and wandered around the house.
“Ah Hua, why are you only back now?”
After pacing for a long time, Qiu Xi finally saw Nan Hua enter the house.
“Xi Xi, what are you pacing around for?”
Nan Hua stepped forward and hugged her.
“It’s good news for now, but it’s not confirmed yet. I’ll tell you when it is.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you to tell me slowly.”
“Mm.”
“You still haven’t told me!”
“Why have you been coming back late recently?”
“The lab work has increased,” Nan Hua explained.
“But there is indeed something, though there’s no news yet. It should be clearer after this period, and I’ll discuss it with you then.”
“Okay, that’s fine too.”
“We’ll share our progress in a while.”
“Okay.”
Qiu Xi noticed Nan Hua’s hesitation but didn’t press him.
She wasn’t the type to complain. She had her own world to conquer.
More importantly, she trusted Nan Hua and herself.
Time had proven much, and it would continue to do so in the days to come.
“Alright, you go wash up. You smell of sweat!”
“Hmm? Aren’t you going to kiss me first?” Nan Hua feigned closeness.
Qiu Xi leaned her head back, a smile on her face, “No, go wash up quickly!”
“……Fine then~”
“Someone is no longer romantic~”
“……”
She just wanted to smell good, not bad.
“Go quickly!”
“Okay, I’m going!”
“Mom, why are you calling me so early in the morning?”
Qiu Xi saw her mother’s call right after she woke up.
She had missed several calls before answering this one.
“Xiao Xi, you’re not up yet?” Mom Qiu’s tone was chiding.
“Mom, it’s not that early, is it?” Qiu Xi rubbed her eyes.
“The sun is already high in the sky, and you’re not up?”
“Mom, what is it? Just tell me.”
“Are you awake? If you’re awake, I’ll tell you.”
Qiu Xi pushed off the covers and sat up, “Mm… I’m up. Tell me.”
“Tomorrow is Saturday. I’ve invited Aunt Chu over. If you and Ah Hua have time, please come back for dinner?”
It had been almost two months since the new year, and this girl hadn’t returned home.
Her family had also been quite busy. Before coming here, she had mentioned visiting the Nan family to meet them, but she hadn’t expected so much work after the new year, and things got delayed.
“Tomorrow, Saturday,” Qiu Xi mumbled.
“Okay, I understand. I’ll tell Ah Hua later. If we have time, I’ll go back tonight.”
“Alright, you tell him. Mom won’t bother you anymore.”
“Okay~”
“Bye, Mom~”
“Alright, hurry up and get up for breakfast!”
“Okay~”
After the call ended, Qiu Xi lingered in bed for a while before finally getting up.
“Tomorrow, Saturday……”
“Xi Xi, what are you muttering about?”
“Go wash up and have breakfast.”
“Okay… no!”
“Ah Hua, Mom said she invited Aunt Chu over, and wants us to go back for a gathering tomorrow.”
“Mm, I know. I received a message from Ms. Chu when I woke up earlier.”
“That’s good then.” Qiu Xi nodded.
She was afraid she’d get busy today and forget to mention it.
“Alright, hurry up and wash up for breakfast.”
“Okay~”
“Good morning, everyone!”
“Good morning, Xiao Xi.”
“Oh, Xiao Xi. Madam just went out with Teacher Qi. She asked you to wait here for a bit; she’ll be back soon.”
“Okay, I got it. Thank you, Senior Sister.”
“You’re welcome~” Mo Ya Ya smiled at the girl.
“Xiao Xi, what’s the secret between you and Madam?” Luo An tilted his head from the side, his eyes wide with curiosity.
“It’s nothing much, really. We were just talking yesterday about Teacher Qi sighing, and now I’m discussing it with Madam…” Qiu Xi explained vaguely.
“Oh, I see…”
“Xiao Xi, you’re truly a hidden gem!” Luo An exclaimed.
He understood that excessive curiosity could be detrimental, knowing what to ask and what not to.
So, after Qiu Xi said that, he stopped asking and shifted the topic, unleashing his great skill of sincere praise.
“You flatter me,” Qiu Xi replied with a light laugh and a nod. “Master Luo’s big moves are becoming more and more familiar.”
“Hahahaha~”
“You’re too kind, too kind. There’s still room for improvement!”
Wei Ziqin and Mo Ya Ya nearby: “……”
Why did they feel a little out of place?
“Junior Sister, since you have some time, would you be able to look at my thesis?”
After thinking for a long time without any ideas, Mo Ya Ya’s mind returned to her thesis. Teacher Qi had said that if she truly needed help, she could ask her junior sister.
She hadn’t understood at first, but after their first interaction, she realized.
Her junior sister’s level was truly high!
There were many parts she couldn’t figure out or had logical inconsistencies, but after her junior sister explained, her thoughts became much clearer.
Since then, she often sought out her junior sister for discussions.
She felt that as long as she clung to the right support, the coming days wouldn’t be difficult, and she might even be able to advance further!
Thinking this, Mo Ya Ya felt that she was only a small step away from publishing her thesis!
Hahahaha~
