"Xiao Xi, are you still busy?"
When Zheng Jiu walked into the office, she saw the two people who were discussing.
"Auntie, please sit for a moment, we'll be done soon," Mo Yaya said quickly as soon as she saw her auntie who had just entered.
"Alright, then you two continue, I'll sit here and rest for a while." Zheng Jiu nodded and walked to the empty seat beside them.
"Okay."
Because Auntie was back, Mo Yaya and Qiu Xi sped up their conversation.
Zheng Jiu, who was not sitting to rest, also paid attention to the two of them.
Even though she had not taught for a long time, some things were difficult to forget once they were imprinted in her mind.
As for this Qiu Xi, she had once again broken a bit of Zheng Jiu's impression of her.
By the time Zheng Jiu heard the end, she found herself unconsciously nodding frequently.
"Auntie, we've agreed."
"Mmm," Zheng Jiu nodded, "Then can we set off now?"
"Yes, we can."
"Alright, let's go then."
"Okay."
With that, the two of them walked out of the office.
...
"Auntie, we're almost there."
"Someone has already told me that the person you need to bring has arrived. We'll just go directly to find them later."
"Okay."
Qiu Xi drove the car directly in, parked it, and then took Zheng Jiu to the reception room.
"Auntie, we're here."
"Teacher Zheng." As soon as they entered, they saw a lady walk over.
Qiu Xi glanced at her, figuring she must be the one Jing Shu mentioned who had arrived not long ago.
Judging by the address, she seemed to be on good terms with Zheng Jiu.
"Mmm."
"Xiao Xi, this is Cheng Xuemei, she was one of my former students too."
She was one of Zheng Jiu's last batch of students, and she had followed Zheng Jiu out after graduation.
"Hello, I am Cheng Xuemei."
Last night, Teacher Zheng had specifically told her not to underestimate this Qiu Xi.
Also, not to act superior just because she was younger, this Qiu Xi was unusual.
Qiu Xi looked at the outstretched hand, nodded, and shook it, "Hello, Qiu Xi."
"Auntie, since everyone is here, I'll give you a quick tour. I'll bring you over later when they are all ready?"
"Alright, since this is your turf, I'll listen to you."
"Okay."
With that, Qiu Xi led the two of them out of the reception room.
She would take them to see around first. As for the discussion later, she had already spoken to Song Jing Shu and the others, and had left it to them to handle.
...
After the tour, the two of them finally understood.
This Xi Guang was indeed the Xi Guang they were thinking of.
Yesterday, after Zheng Jiu and Cheng Xuemei had talked, Zheng Jiu only felt that the name was a bit familiar but didn't think too much about it.
This morning, Zheng Jiu had also directly entered in Qiu Xi's car.
After looking around, and seeing their products, she finally confirmed it.
This Xi Guang was the Xi Guang that had gradually entered public view in the past two years.
"Teacher Zheng, is this really the postgraduate student that Teacher Qi accepted last year?" Cheng Xuemei asked softly, walking behind her teacher.
Zheng Jiu nodded, "Indeed."
... She was starting to doubt herself!
She was now almost forty, and she still hadn't achieved what this postgraduate student had achieved, nor had she reached her level.
For some reason, Cheng Xuemei felt a bit dejected.
The gap between people was indeed huge...
"Auntie, I'll take you to the conference room now."
"Yes, let's go."
"Okay, this way."
After taking the elevator, the conference room was very close.
"Auntie, please sit here for a while. They'll be here shortly."
"I have other matters to attend to, so I won't sit here. I'll come find you again after you're done."
"Alright, if you have something to do, go ahead and take care of it."
Shortly after Qiu Xi left, Song Jing Shu and Chu Lan Zhi arrived with others.
...
"Xiao Xi, it's quite interesting that you brought people over but aren't staying yourself."
Qiu Xi actually had nothing urgent to do, she just didn't want to handle this discussion herself, so she had handed it over to them.
Even though it was her auntie, she still had to maintain proper protocol.
"Let's not talk about that. Hurry up and tell me about your recent situation, let's relax together."
... Liang Yun Fei rolled her eyes at Qiu Xi.
"You know my situation. How can I be as relaxed as you..."
"Look at you, you're about to publish a paper, and I'm just starting..."
"Also, your life has become much easier now, but I have to read literature every day, and sometimes I have to travel with the teacher. My life... is really not easy!"
"... You're exaggerating, aren't you?"
"Exaggerating! Super exaggerating!" Liang Yun Fei even got a little excited.
"I expect that in a while, my life will become even more difficult..."
Saying that, she started to feel dejected again.
"Why is that?" kanshu Wu. ξà
"Aren't the new students preparing for interviews again? According to the seniors, this time is really... busy and tiring!" kanδん
... Qiu Xi was also stunned for a moment.
"Xiao Fei Fei, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it."
After school started, due to her own matters and some tasks assigned by the school, the matters concerning the new students were mainly handled by her senior sisters and Luo An.
She had only helped for a couple of days at the beginning, and hadn't heard about it since.
It wasn't their main task, but since it was assigned to them, there was nothing they could do.
"Alright, it's not an easy task anyway."
"And these are not issues at all!"
"As long as my thesis can be completed, nothing else matters!"
"That's achievable! It will definitely be no problem."
"Mmm!"
...
