Chapter 145
As expected, shortly after speaking with Nan Hua, the student union members who had arranged the hosting duties sent over the script.
They asked her to review it for any issues and also discussed the matter of the host's attire.
The general idea was that the student union had dresses available, but they might not fit well. Students were also welcome to wear their own formal wear, as long as the student union approved it after seeing it.
After the discussion with the student union, Qiu Xi decided she would buy her own formal dress.
Regarding the student union's attire, whether it fit or not was secondary. Her main concern was how many people had worn them before.
If it were a strict requirement, she might accept it, but since she had the option and the student union agreed, she might as well buy a new one.
With that decided, Qiu Xi began chatting with her roommates.
Since the freshmen's military training ended, not only she, but also the girls in the dorm had been very busy.
Recruitment alone was enough to keep them occupied, and then a milk tea shop opened.
So, if they wanted to get together and go out, they had to plan ahead.
"Sisters, are you free on Saturday? Accompany me to buy a formal dress."
"Buy what kind of dress?"
"It's for the host of the upcoming welcome party. I just spoke with the student union, and we can wear our own clothes."
"Sure!"
"No problem!"
"Then it's settled!"
Hearing the three happily agree, Qiu Xi was also very pleased. She realized it had been a long time since their dorm had gone out shopping together.
...
"Xiao Xi, the members of the freshman debate team are all assembled. Come over tomorrow, and we'll have a meeting together."
Old Yan was becoming more and more at ease, speaking very casually.
"Okay."
Yan Baitao on the other end didn't care. After all, his past was already exposed to this student, so he was just doing whatever felt comfortable.
Moreover, he now truly saw this precious student as a junior member of his own family, with a bright future!
After agreeing with Old Yan, Qiu Xi immersed herself in her studies.
To better handle this role, she had even utilized Xiao Hua.
"Beep!"
"Chess: Chess, skill unlocked, reward: Chess manual x1."
Just then, another skill was unlocked, though she didn't know what this skill could be used for at the moment!
Nowadays, most people who took this up as a hobby were probably the old men in the park.
And this reward would likely become one of her stored items.
Never mind, having it was better than not having it. Today was another day of diligent study!
The next day, in the conference room of the Foreign Languages Department office building-
"Come, let's start with introductions. My name is Yan..."
Since it was a new team being formed, many people were unfamiliar with things, so Yan Baitao gave a detailed explanation for this introductory meeting.
"Knock knock knock!"
"Xiao Xi, you've arrived just in time. Teacher just finished speaking."
Qiu Xi, who had arrived at the office early, was asked by him to go and copy and organize documents, so she arrived a bit late.
"Come, let me introduce you all again. This is your senior sister, Qiu Xi."
"Qiu Xi, you come and chat with them."
"Okay."
Seeing that the teacher was preparing to leave, Qiu Xi nodded helplessly.
"Hello everyone..."
"Senior Sister!"
Zhao Yingying, having heard from the teacher that a senior sister would be guiding them, never expected it to be the beautiful senior sister she met when she first enrolled.
"Hmm? You know her?"
Sensing the surprise in her words, Mei Ke, sitting next to Zhao Yingying, nudged her with her elbow.
They were from the same dorm. Why hadn't she mentioned this before they came?
"The senior sister who guided me when I first arrived. I mentioned her in the dorm, the really pretty one."
"Oh, oh!"
Suddenly enlightened, she realized.
Then, looking again, she thought Zhao Yingying had exaggerated when she saw her in the dorm earlier.
But it turned out to be true. The senior sister was truly stunning.
Looking up close, her fair and translucent skin already surpassed many others. Coupled with her delicate features and perfect figure, she was indeed a little fairy.
After observing, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Yingying, she's too beautiful!"
"Right!"
She had said it, the senior sister was incredibly beautiful, but unfortunately, her wording only made everyone perceive her as infatuated.
But she never expected the senior sister to be not only fairy-like in appearance but also so outstanding in person!
As expected of the senior sister whose contact information she had asked for at first sight!
"Ahem!"
With a quick glance, Qiu Xi noticed this outgoing and friendly junior sister who had become familiar so quickly.
"Sit down properly."
Feeling everyone's gaze, the two immediately fell silent and sat down obediently.
"Alright, I've said enough. Now, please introduce yourselves to each other."
Qiu Xi looked at the people below, feeling a little emotional. Their debate group back then barely had enough members. It was clear that the current emphasis within the department was indeed different.
Since Old Yan had said it was just a simple meet-and-greet to get acquainted, Qiu Xi chatted briefly with these junior students before letting them go.
...
"Xiao Xi, how was it today?"
The three of them knew that Qiu Xi was going to the freshman debate group today and were somewhat curious.
"We just had a simple meeting today..."
"..."
"Weren't you going for class and training?"
The three of them had wanted to conduct a thorough interview, hoping to see Scholar Xi Jie's debut in teaching.
To see if she would unlock any Waterloo skills in a new field.
"No!" waρ.kanshu伍.net
Seeing the three gossipy ones, who were so free just to chat about this, Qiu Xi felt they were a bit too idle.
"Alright..."
It seemed possible. Thinking about it, considering how Qiu Xi usually lectured them, was she someone who would experience a Waterloo?
"..."
You say! What else could this be but boredom!
"You guys are truly incredibly bored!" kanδん
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Xiao Xi, my family wants to meet with us."
Since there was no more excitement to be had, Song Daiyao decided to talk about serious matters with Qiu Xi.
"Is it about the milk tea shop?"
Qiu Xi lowered her head and thought. It seemed to be the only reason.
"Mm."
"Then what do you think?"
Looking at Shen Yan and Liang Yunfei beside her, Qiu Xi asked.
"We'll listen to you!"
After all, if it weren't for Qiu Xi's secret recipe, even with their current promotional skills, it wouldn't be very useful. Moreover, without even guessing, it was clear that the person Daiyao's family truly wanted to meet was probably only Qiu Xi.
"Alright! Then we'll go and see them before deciding."
Thinking about it endlessly now was a waste of effort. It was better to meet them directly.
"Mm."
"Then that's settled."
After a busy afternoon, she just wanted to take a bath and go to bed.
"Oh right, Xiao Xi, the class monitor mentioned Teacher Yang's drama in the group chat and asked which of you two would go. Hurry back if you have time, or they'll go crazy."
"..."
Busy all afternoon, Qiu Xi, who had just returned and hadn't checked her messages yet, felt a bit helpless.
She was already busy enough. She wished the class monitor would handle this herself.
This was probably about the remuneration Teacher Yang mentioned during the holiday. Once this was done, the rest would be Teacher Yang's own business. For them, this matter was probably considered concluded.
"Anything else?"
After replying to the message, Qiu Xi asked, fearing that another matter would arise as soon as she turned around.
"No more!"
Phew! Finally, she could rest!
Messages like this came in like picking up balls; after picking one up, another would come, which was utterly exhausting.
