After everyone had left, Jiang Shuqin couldn’t help but laugh, saying, "Chuyi, your employee has quite a sharp tongue!"
The 201 friends also laughed along, and Zheng Yan said, "But what she said does make sense."
"Some people just get used to taking advantage, don’t they!"
As they talked, the topic shifted to Uncle Quan. Everyone expressed a curious desire to know why Xia Chuyi’s dog was so impressive, even wishing for a chance to hold Uncle Quan.
This almost upset Uncle Quan, forcing Xia Chuyi to hastily say goodbye to her friends.
Due to an "injury," Chi Yue took another leave of absence, this time absent for a whole week.
Without Chi Yue, life suddenly became much quieter.
Doing business, preparing medicinal food, studying, visiting Professor Bao’s house to learn Gu embroidery... Xia Chuyi’s days went by methodically.
After two days, it was time for freshmen at the outer courtyard to choose a secondary language, and this time, Xia Chuyi opted for Spanish.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuqin was utterly shocked.
"Why would you choose something as difficult as Spanish with zero foundation?" Jiang Shuqin couldn’t help but ask.
Xia Chuyi shrugged and casually said, "I don’t aim to master it deeply, I just want to grasp more languages."
Jiang Shuqin still felt shocked and shook her head, saying, "You’re another non-human!"
Xia Chuyi: "...Why do you say another? Have you met someone else ?"
Jiang Shuqin smiled and said, "Not only have I met one, but that person is even more non-human than you."
"Oh right, she is a junior this year, assisting the teacher in your Spanish class; you should be able to see her soon."
Curiosity was piqued in Xia Chuyi by Jiang Shuqin’s words.
Since Jiang Shuqin hadn’t opted for Spanish, Xia Chuyi split ways with her and joined other classmates headed to the Spanish class.
Approaching the classroom, they encountered a short-haired woman in a light checkered shirt, carrying several books.
In her hurry, one of the books slipped from under her arm.
Xia Chuyi stepped forward to pick it up and handed it back to the short-haired woman.
The short-haired woman turned around, busily saying, "Thank you!"
And flashed Xia Chuyi a hearty and radiant smile.
Moved by the short-haired woman’s gesture, Xia Chuyi also returned a smile and said, "You’re welcome."
Seeing that the short-haired woman was also heading towards the Spanish classroom, Xia Chuyi asked her, "Are you here for the Spanish class too?"
The short-haired woman blinked, smiling as she asked, "Are you this year’s freshman?"
Xia Chuyi was a bit surprised and said, "Yes, aren’t you?"
She was curious because this path led to the freshman Spanish class.
The short-haired woman shifted all her books to her left hand and extended her right hand with a warm smile, saying, "Hello, my name is Jiang Fengqi, a junior at the Foreign Language College, and I’ll be your Spanish teaching assistant."
"Cough cough cough!" Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi choked on her saliva.
The short-haired woman laughed, saying, "What, did the fact that I’m a teaching assistant scare you?"
Xia Chuyi silently shook her head.
While she was indeed startled, it wasn’t because of the teaching assistant’s role but rather because...
Jiang Fengqi, the first female Foreign Minister of Z country—a figure so prominent that even someone as politically disengaged as her had heard of her, so sensitive that even search engines must block their profile.
However, Jiang Fengqi was still just a young girl today, and her aura wasn’t as intimidating, allowing Xia Chuyi to quickly regain her composure.
