Midday-
"Xiaoxiao, what are you thinking about?"
They had been out for a long time, but the girl was still motionless, barely touching her food.
Those around her were speechless, yet also a little curious.
It seemed that since the morning, this person had been acting a little off.
"Ah..."
"Nothing, just some work matters I was thinking about."
Snapping back to reality, Xiaoxiao offered a casual explanation.
Actually, she was still thinking about the revision, with no new ideas, and wondering how Xiao Xi was doing...
"Let's eat first, or it'll all be cold soon."
"Mm, okay."
...
Meanwhile, Qiu Xi sat alone outside, mechanically bringing food to her mouth while her mind was preoccupied with the ideas she was conceiving in the office.
When she hit on a good point, she would even take out her phone to jot down a word or two...
At this rate, if everything went smoothly, she could finish early. If not, she would have to see.
As Sister Tong put it, working hard for these couple of days might mean two days, or it might mean three, four, or five days?
Suddenly, Qiu Xi herself was unsure.
This must be the kind of training Teacher Jin and the others were talking about?
It was indeed grueling. If one went through this many times, anyone who endured it would not be ordinary.
After a morning and midday, Qiu Xi had roughly figured out a little. Before the afternoon even started, she went into the conference room ahead of time.
Since she couldn't sleep anyway, it didn't matter where she sat to look. So, she went in.
Less than two minutes later, Xiaoxiao entered with her things.
"Xiao Xi, I'm here."
"Mm."
Qiu Xi didn't look up, just greeted her softly.
Xiaoxiao didn't mind and walked straight over, sitting down and taking out her own things to start working.
"Xiaoxiao, are you done?"
"Mm, I finished a while ago. I was just messing around with these without certainty."
As soon as she heard Qiu Xi's voice, Xiaoxiao put down her work and looked at her.
"Shall we discuss it now?"
"Sure." Xiaoxiao nodded.
She had been waiting for Qiu Xi to say this.
"Okay~"
With that, the two began to discuss, mainly focusing on the new requirements. They discussed for nearly half the afternoon before finishing.
"Xiaoxiao, let's stop here for today. You tidy up first. If there are any problems during the resolution process, we can discuss them later..."
After saying a lot, Qiu Xi finally finished speaking.
"Mm, I'll do as you say."
When it came to professionalism, Xiaoxiao trusted Qiu Xi quite a bit.
"Then let's go back to our respective tasks. If you encounter any problems during this period, mark them down, and we'll discuss them together later."
"Okay! No problem."
"Alright then, let's get back to work."
And so, the two returned to their workstations and resumed their tasks.
However, when the clock struck the hour, they still left work as usual and continued working at home.
...
"Xiao Xi, have we finished?"
After two days and one night, the two finally revised everything according to the requirements.
"Mm, according to the new requirements, we've finished the revisions."
"If there's anything else, we'll discuss it after we inform Sister Tong."
"Okay."
In any case, the final decision rested with the higher-ups, so the immediate priority was to go see Sister Tong.
"Alright, there's still some time. Let's tidy up and prepare to go see Sister Tong."
"Okay."
After a short while, the two, carrying their prepared materials, went to Tong Mei's office.
"Sister Tong, we're here again."
Having visited so many times, Xiaoxiao was becoming more familiar with the place than her own workstation.
"Sit down."
Tong Mei gestured for them to take a seat.
"You two coming here at this time, do you already have ideas, or have you finished your work?"
They wouldn't come without a reason, especially at this hour. She didn't believe they had nothing to discuss.
"Sister Tong, you guessed right this time. We've really finished, and that's why we've come to find you."
"Oh? Really?" Tong Mei asked twice, still somewhat disbelieving.
Although it was a "refurbishment of old work," there were quite a few new requirements!
She had estimated that these two would need at least two more days to finish. She was a bit surprised that they were now telling her they were done.
"Sister Tong, you can see if it's true or not."
Saying this, Xiaoxiao handed Tong Mei the document that Qiu Xi had given her.
"Alright, I'll take a look. It's only been two days, let's see what you've accomplished."
With that, Tong Mei opened the file Xiaoxiao handed over and began to read slowly.
From beginning to end, comparing it with the requirements on the side, Tong Mei read it thoroughly.
By the end, even she had to admit that the task had been completed exceptionally well!
"Okay, you two have done a really good job on this."
"I'll keep this for now. I'll review it myself today, and if there are any issues, I'll tell you."
"Okay..."
"However, during these next few days before a conclusion is reached, you still need to come to work on time. You can rest after the definite news comes down."
She dared not make any more guarantees!
She was just afraid of having to redo the work again, in which case there would be nothing to discuss...
Although in the end, they were all forced to do this, but what could they do? They were just employees.
There was no other way...
"Okay..."
"Sister Tong, don't worry, we'll still be here..."
They were not afraid of anything now, except for the rework...
If it happened again, they couldn't guarantee they could endure it...
So, they would start their holiday only after all matters were settled and confirmed...
Tong Mei, "..."
Although what you said made some sense...
Well, it really made sense, and she couldn't refute it.
She was also afraid...
"Since you both understand, I won't say any more. You can go back now."
"Okay, then we'll leave the rest to you, Sister Tong."
"It's no trouble, it's what I should be doing."
"You should go rest. If you have nothing to do today, you can go home early."
Although they couldn't take a holiday, an early dismissal was possible.
"Okay, then Sister Tong... we're leaving now?"
"Mm, go ahead."
"Okay~"
