"The rest is up to you. When the time comes, I will give you the evidence."
After finalizing things with Pei Wen, Qiu Xi called Song Jingshu and Chu Lanzhi in again.
Then, the group, including Qiu Xi, briefly discussed the matter, preparing to hand over the remaining tasks to the company staff.
"Sister Xi, don't worry, we promise to handle it well."
This was the first time Song Jingshu and Chu Lanzhi had heard Pei Wen describe the ins and outs of the situation.
They had found it strange when they first saw him, but at the time they weren't familiar with him. Later, as they became busier, they clearly realized that this person was not like what was said online.
He was very talented!
And they trusted Qiu Xi, so they gradually stopped thinking about it.
Unexpectedly, when it was brought up again, the truth was actually like this.
"Then it's settled. You can proceed as you see fit."
The two nodded, "Okay."
With the two major matters for today settled, Qiu Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh right, it's almost New Year's Day. You've all worked hard, so we'll have regular holiday time. Rest well."
"Jingshu, don't forget to prepare the gifts."
"Yes, and add some extra bonuses. I'll send you the details later."
"Sister Xi, we've just started, we don't need that, do we?"
"Yes."
"How about we just take some bonus, and skip the holiday?"
Seeing the three of them seeming to dread the idea of a holiday, Qiu Xi felt... incredulous!
Why were her employees different from others?
Others couldn't wait for holidays!
And it was paid leave...
These few, however, only wanted to stick around the company...
"Alright! You all say less, just do as I say." Qiu Xi said with a hint of disdain.
"The company is small now, so you have this holiday. If it were in the future, even if you begged me, I wouldn't approve it."
Really, such unenjoying people!
"..."
Since the boss had said it to this extent, what else could they say?
Of course, they accepted it gladly...
So, glancing at each other, the few nodded in unison.
"Okay, we'll listen to Sister Xi."
"Mm." Qiu Xi nodded with satisfaction.
"Alright, that's all for today. I have things to do at school, so I won't stay any longer."
As for the evidence mentioned earlier, she still had Xiao Hua~
Moreover, after the incident with Zhao Dongsheng before, she had spent a considerable amount of time learning some hacking skills.
Now, even if she wasn't a big shot, she could still be somewhat useful...
"Okay."
"We'll let you know if there are any developments here."
"Mm."
With that, Qiu Xi turned and left the company.
...
In the afternoon, Qiu Xi finally had some free time and was lounging in her dormitory, watching dramas.
Then, her phone rang.
"Master?"
Qiu Xi glanced at the incoming call and swiped to answer.
"Master, why are you calling me?"
"Did something happen at home?"
"No, nothing's happened at home. It's about your Century Cup training."
"Do you have time in the next few days?"
Qiu Xi frowned, full of confusion, "Yes, Master. Is there something you want to talk about?"
"Mm, when do you have time tomorrow? Come back, and I'll tell you."
Qiu Xi glanced at the course schedule on her desk and thought for a moment, "Master, I'm free after 10 AM tomorrow."
"Then let's make it in the morning. Come back as soon as you're done with your things."
"Okay."
After the call ended, Qiu Xi sat there thinking for a long time.
It wasn't until Song Daiyao and Shen Yan came to pull her away.
New Year's Day was approaching, and they were currently struggling with what clothes to pack for their trip.
Because Xiao Feifei and Xiao Xi were too busy, they wanted to wear some matching outfits together, so this task fell to the relatively free Shen Yan and Song Daiyao.
And today, having finally caught one of them in the dormitory, they had to pull her over to get her opinion.
If they didn't have anything, they could still buy something.
Besides, they weren't planning on wearing matching outfits for everything, just one or two sets. The rest would be their own preferences.
So, a little delay would be fine.
"Xiao Xi, the two of us have looked at many guides, come and give us your opinion."
Qiu Xi smiled in agreement, "Okay~"
...
The next morning, as soon as the two morning classes ended, Qiu Xi drove back home.
"Xiao Xi, you're back."
"Du Shifu has been waiting for you in the back. You can go straight there."
As soon as Qiu Xi entered the house, she saw her grandmother in the living room.
Taking the small cup of water her grandmother handed her, Qiu Xi said, "Grandma, I'll go over first. I'll chat with you after I'm done."
Grandma Qiu smiled, "Okay~ Go quickly."
Before she finished speaking, Qiu Xi had already turned and headed to the back.
The small house in the back.
The two old men sat in silence for a long time.
Yan Xingming looked at the person he hadn't seen in a long time, his eyes slightly moist.
"You've been gone for so long, you've finally returned."
Du Bin held the small teacup in his hand, brought it to his mouth, and swallowed a mouthful of tea.
"It has been a long time. I never thought I would return again."
When such a major incident occurred in his family, he had no inclination to continue. After much thought, he still chose to leave.
"Is it... because of that girl, Qiu Xi?"
"Mm."
"That girl has talent and is eager to learn and improve. It would be a shame not to teach her."
"Having known you for so long, this is the first time I've heard you praise someone like this..." Yan Xingming said with some emotion, "But that girl does indeed have the talent. She's a remarkable person."
"Isn't she!"
Speaking of this, Du Bin directly broke the silent atmosphere between them, "This girl is the one I've taken a liking to. My disciple, Du Bin's disciple, must be a rare genius!"
"...Master, so my status in your heart is this high~"
Qiu Xi, who had just walked over from the front, heard her master's high praise for her before she even got close.
This was truly the first time!
Qiu Xi felt a little happy.
"Cough cough..." Du Bin quickly covered his mouth.
He turned and glared at his young disciple, "You girl, why didn't you announce your return beforehand."
Qiu Xi felt a bit wronged, "..."
Can she be blamed for this?
