After Ms. Tong Mei talked with Qiu Xi last time, time had almost passed.
"Xiao Xi, this is ready for you. Keep it safe."
After the morning meeting, Tong Mei left Qiu Xi alone in the conference room.
"This..."
"Thank you, Sister Tong." Qiu Xi was still a little happy looking at the certificate in her hand!
This was proof that she had passed her practical training.
"Alright, no need for thanks. You earned this all by yourself."
She had taken on students for several terms. Qiu Xi was the first one who had satisfied her so much!
It was a pity that this child was unwilling to stay...
"Besides this, what I also want to tell you today is that the company is about to start its annual leave, and there aren't many days left. With the certificate, you don't need to come anymore."
"This..."
Qiu Xi felt like she had misheard.
"No need for 'this' or 'that.' This is all according to the company's plan, and there are no issues."
The most difficult period had already passed. Now, with what was left, they really didn't need so many people.
"Okay..."
It was an unexpected joy. Qiu Xi was quite happy to finish early.
"Yes, that's right!"
"And this, take it!"
"What is this?" Qiu Xi looked at the red envelope in her hand, slightly surprised.
"This is for you, for your hard work. Consider it an extra reward." Tong Mei waved her hand, indicating it was a small token.
Qiu Xi nodded, "Okay~ Thank you, Sister Tong."
Because it was a cooperative arrangement, Qiu Xi did not receive any pay for her internship here; she was essentially working for free.
Now that Tong Mei was giving her these things, it was a form of recognition for her abilities.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, pack up your things and head home early."
"Consider it an early holiday to go home for the New Year..."
"Okay..."
"Well, that's all for now."
After speaking, Tong Mei tidied her things and left the conference room first.
Qiu Xi looked up at her from behind for a moment, then also left with the things in her hands.
She hadn't brought much when she came, and when she left, she only had that certificate in her hand.
So, Qiu Xi quickly finished packing and left the place she had stayed for almost a month.
Without saying a word, Qiu Xi left with her belongings.
Not to mention that she wasn't familiar with some of the people, but everyone was busy right now. Qiu Xi didn't want to affect their work with her own minor matters.
Besides, they had contact information, and it wasn't a big deal...
Therefore, Qiu Xi left feeling exceptionally relaxed.
As soon as she walked out of the company, she immediately sent a message to Teacher Jin.
She informed him that she had received her certificate, had passed her practical training, and wouldn't need to come anymore.
"Good!"
"Keep your certificate safe, and remember to bring a copy after the New Year."
The training at the base was quite formal; everything had to be done properly.
"Okay."
"Alright, then go back and rest well."
"Okay."
With that, Qiu Xi drove out for a leisurely drive.
It was still early. She had come early in the morning, and now that she didn't have to sit at a desk, she might as well go shopping.
...
Because her work here ended early, Qiu Xi had a lot of free time afterward.
First, she busied herself with personal matters, then completed the study tasks left by her mentor, and finally, there were company matters.
However, Qiu Xi didn't end up looking into them. Instead, she fully entrusted the matters to Liang Yunfei and Song Jing Shu.
Since there was nothing else important, and she didn't want to join in the excitement of the annual meeting or the holiday, she stayed at home.
"Xiao Xi, are you really not planning to come?"
Liang Yunfei, at the company, was on the phone with Qiu Xi, discussing the annual meeting.
"No, I won't be coming. I've been busy packing my things and preparing to go home these past two days."
"The company will be lively then; you go and join in the fun."
The company would be on holiday shortly after the annual meeting anyway, just a day or two difference.
"Okay, fine. If that's the case, then so be it." Liang Yunfei nodded.
She had called just to chat casually and didn't really expect to persuade her to come.
"Okay~"
"Then I'll trouble you, Little Fei Fei~"
"Alright, you!"
"I'm going back to work now, bye-bye~"
"Bye~"
...
"Xi Xi, over here."
"Ah Hua~"
Seeing the person not far away, Qiu Xi ran over with a little excitement.
In two more days, she and Little Pigeon were preparing to return to Jinhai City. So, while there was still time, she arranged to meet with Nan Hua.
"Let's go, get in the car."
"Mm."
"What are we planning to eat?"
It was just about mealtime, so they could eat and chat.
"Hmm... let's go eat barbecue!"
She had been eating bland food at home for several days. Now that she finally stepped out, she had to eat something good.
Nan Hua chuckled softly, "Okay~"
"Mm!"
Half an hour later, as they were eating...
"Ah Hua, what about you?"
"What about the teacher you mentioned before, how do you feel about them now?"
Because it was an interdisciplinary major, Nan Hua had been pulled away by his teacher early on.
Under the guise of, "properly tutoring him!"
Although Nan Hua didn't really need it... that teacher thought it was very necessary.
"They're pretty good, just a bit talkative..."
Thinking about the little old man who was guiding him now, Nan Hua smiled.
The little old man was good in every way, just a bit talkative and prone to complaining...
"A talkative little old man is also good~"
Nan Hua nodded, "Mm, indeed, they're quite good."
"Here, eat more."
"Mm." Qiu Xi nodded. "So, when are you guys on holiday?"
That's right!
Nan Hua's holiday was indirectly determined by his advisor.
If the teacher didn't say it was a holiday, how could the students have a holiday?
Even if they did get a holiday and didn't have experiments, they still had a pile of literature to read when they returned...
"Holiday... the little old man said, as long as you have the skills, what day isn't a holiday?"
"So, every day is a holiday for me. Aren't I eating with you right now?"
"..." Qiu Xi was speechless.
But she had to admit, what he said was quite true...
"You've made me want to meet this little old man."
Just thinking about it made him sound like a very interesting little old man.
"There will be time. Perhaps this little old man even knows you."
"Now that you say that, I'm even more interested."
"Let's eat!"
"There will be time in the future. For now, let's focus on eating."
"Okay then..."
...
