"Let's go, the two of us should go eat too."
Having thought it through, Song Wenli felt that eating was more important now.
The file bag had already been handed over by the two teachers, and their task was considered complete.
"Let's go!"
She would have to be full before tackling the matter of the little talented disciple~
With that, the two of them left the conference room, each lost in their own thoughts.
...
Meanwhile, as soon as Qiu Xi returned to the dormitory, she received a notification for completing her mission.
"Beep!"
"Mission accomplished. Successfully completed the negotiation mission, rewarded with 50,000 cash and Language Deep Environmental Adaptability Training*1 (French version) has been issued."
As the system's voice sounded, Qiu Xi knew that the mission regarding the negotiation conference was truly over.
She picked up the calendar on her desk and checked off the item in the plan section. Qiu Xi felt a sense of relief. She had been busy for over three months since school started, yet time seemed to fly by. In the blink of an eye, the New Year's Day was approaching again; time truly slips away!
"Little Xi, have you eaten?"
Just as Qiu Xi was lamenting the passage of time and how quickly the days went by, the three little ones who had gone out to find food also returned.
Qiu Xi nodded, "Yes, I wasn't very hungry, so I just bought a little something to eat and came back."
"How was it? Helping Teacher Yang."
Hearing that the person had already eaten, Song Daiyao asked about the matter she had been thinking about all morning.
"It's all done, and the teacher said there were no problems."
Upon hearing the answer, Song Daiyao's praise came without hesitation, flowing out smoothly, "As expected of our Sister Xi!"
"Her strength is truly not to be underestimated!"
"..."
"Cut it out~"
"It sounds like your usual catchphrase, I don't hear any genuine compliment in it."
She had heard these words so many times that her ears were calloused. Yet, after nearly three years, nothing had changed. Now, when Qiu Xi heard her say these things, it was as routine as being asked "Have you eaten?" whenever they met.
Song Daiyao didn't care what Qiu Xi said, and just grinned.
"Hehe~"
"Mine is about subtle elegance and deep meaning. As long as Little Xi can understand, that's all that matters~"
"Feel my heartfelt praise~"
As she said this, Song Daiyao held her heart with an exaggerated expression. Seeing this, Qiu Xi and the other two frowned. If this girl wasn't somewhat eccentric, she would never be able to put on such a performance. Really... she was so exasperating!!!
Liang Yunfei was the first to cover her eyes, rendered speechless.
"Forget it, let's retreat. Let this silly girl express herself."
Shen Yan looked at Song Daiyao, who was engrossed in her own world, and shook her head. "She's beyond saving. After she finishes her performance, I'll try to pull her back..."
Qiu Xi frowned, pursed her lips, and nodded in agreement. Then, the three of them turned and moved to another spot. As long as they weren't in front of this girl...
"Little Xi, while you were busy with the negotiation conference, Uncle Shen has finished the company's first batch of goods. Next, we'll be preparing for the pre-sale phase."
Sitting at the small square table in the center of the dormitory, Liang Yunfei, with nothing else to do, chatted with Qiu Xi about recent developments.
Qiu Xi nodded, not surprised at all. This speed was within her expectations.
"It seems that after this wave passes and we achieve our first victory, we'll have to invite everyone to celebrate."
Although this product wasn't the main focus of her plan, it was used to accumulate initial funds. However, it had to be said that it was of great significance and could be recorded as a milestone for the company. After all, she had recruited a talent like Pei Wen through it, partnered with Uncle Shen again because of it, and it was the reason for its eventual success, so it deserved a celebration.
Looking at Qiu Xi, whose eyes were smiling, Liang Yunfei nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, Jing Shu also mentioned this issue."
"The dormitory building can be put into use soon, so we were thinking of having a gathering there to celebrate and add some liveliness to the building."
"That sounds great!"
"You guys can arrange this kind of thing yourselves."
"I haven't had a proper look at the place yet either, so I'll check it out then."
"Okay."
"Little Xi, while you're discussing the celebration, we've been busy for so long, shouldn't we consider going out to play together?"
Listening to the two of them chat, Shen Yan was initially uninterested, but she happened to glance at her phone. It seemed... New Year's Day was approaching. For the past two years, either due to classes or other commitments, they had spent New Year's Day at school, always going to the food street. This year, she didn't want to wander around anymore. Moreover, the weather was cold, and she no longer had the enthusiasm for the hustle and bustle.
"Go out to play what? Where are you going to play? You have to take me!"
Over there, Song Daiyao, who had been performing for quite a while, finally noticed that her three audience members had long since left. As she refocused, she heard the word "play" and immediately chimed in.
"..."
They had said so much, and all she registered was the word "play"?
Qiu Xi said helplessly, "Daiyao, Yan Yan just started speaking, she hasn't said anything yet."
"Oh~"
As she spoke, she sat down beside them, placed her hands on the table, leaned her face forward, and obediently looked at Shen Yan opposite her, then urged, "I'm here now, hurry up and say it!"
"..."
Shen Yan glanced at the silly girl Song Daiyao before continuing.
"It's almost New Year's Day, so I was thinking that since we've always spent it at school in previous years, why don't we all go out to play this year."
"Clap clap!"
Song Daiyao was the first to clap excitedly, "Sure!"
"Speaking of which, the four of us haven't really gone out to play together properly. Except for that time when we first came here, we went out with Zhao Huasheng and them."
"After that, I don't remember any others."
As Song Daiyao said this, Qiu Xi and the other two thought about it, and indeed, they didn't have many memories of going out to play together.
"Little Xi, what do you say? Shall we go out to play~"
With her sparkling eyes wide open, Song Daiyao stared at Qiu Xi. She could see through phenomena to the essence of things! Among them, as long as Little Xi had no objections, then everyone else would be fine!
Qiu Xi, "..."
She suddenly felt like she was being stared at intensely...
"Alright~"
Qiu Xi closed her eyes in slight exasperation, "Hurry up, restrain yourself, or there'll be no discussion!"
"Okay~"
With a pinch and a pull of her right index finger and thumb, Song Daiyao immediately sealed her lips shut.
