Mu Xiaoxue took the new wine and began replacing the empty bottles on the counter.

Xi Xinxin noticed that Mu Xiaoxue seemed confused and unsure how to place the items. This was because the staff, including Xi Xinxin herself, had previously used numbers to name the items for easy identification.

She picked up a sticky note and started writing names on it, along with the names of various items. She stuck one on. Mu Xiaoxue recognized one of them.

This took almost the entire afternoon. Because there were so many kinds, Mu Xiaoxue couldn't stay long enough.

However, it's much better than before when it was easy to misremember the serial number.

"That's about enough. I'll take you home. Come back tomorrow morning." Xi Xinxin washed her hands and took her car keys out of her pocket.

Seeing that the band was still performing, Mu Xiaoxue asked, "Where are they? I remember going home very late. Why did I get off work so early?"

“If I let you leave so late, your sister will definitely scold me. You’re just working at my shop. Eight hours is enough, and correspondingly, your salary will be less than that of a regular employee.” Xi Xinxin took Mu Xiaoxue’s hand: “Let’s go.”

Mu Xue is already mentoring new interns, and Feng Yufeng messaged Xi Xinxin, saying he's mostly capable of handling things independently now. He plans to treat his benefactor to a meal with his first pot of gold.

Mu Xue came home earlier than usual today: "Thank you so much. I even had to ask you to bring her back."

"It's okay, I'm going back now. Remember to come tomorrow morning."

The clapping was clearly audible amidst the noise, even to the tense crowd. Yu Shuwen smiled at the people behind her, holding the microphone: "Let's cheer each other on."

Today was the official fashion show, and Xi Xinxin looked at the people below the stage. Sasha, Mu Xue, Yi Liang, Chen Tongyun, and Wang Shanni were also there. Bai Tianrao, somehow having heard the news, was wearing large sunglasses in the audience. She also saw Mei Qing; she must have come all the way from her hometown.

There were also many people she knew. Xi Xinxin looked ahead and saw Chu Quanyi and the others chatting and laughing to ease their tension.

When did she accept that these people could continue to contact her, and when did she get used to them always being by her side?

Xi Xinxin thinks life is really wonderful.

The fashion show began, and after Yu Shuwen finished her remarks, Xi Xinxin was the first to walk the runway...

Everyone looked impeccably dressed on stage, but as soon as they stepped off, they hurriedly changed into their next outfits and began tidying themselves up before returning to the stage. It was clear, however, that everyone thoroughly enjoyed the fashion show.

Yu Shuwen subsequently received numerous collaboration requests from brands, but she rejected them all. She wanted to create a brand that belonged to her, to all of them.

The initial excitement finally subsided in the studio as the group tidied their clothes. Just then, the door opened.

Mei Qing, holding local specialties from her hometown and several cups of fruit tea, said, "Jiang Jiang~ These are all for you."

"I won't be going back to my hometown this time. I'll be studying diligently with Teacher Chu Quanyi."

Chu Quanyi's nose was practically pointing to the sky: "Hmph, I knew it. How could anyone bear to leave such a good teacher like me?" After saying that, she glanced at Xi Xinxin.

After resting, they went their separate ways. Even though they weren't often together, their relationship was irreplaceable.

Xi Xinxin followed Chu Quanyi and Mei Qing, intending to return to the store. As they came out, they ran into Bai Tianrao, who was probably next to her manager.

"Teacher Bai, we have a performance to do this afternoon. Who are you waiting for?"

Bai Tianrao immediately noticed Xi Xinxin: "The person we've been waiting for has arrived."

"Xinxin~" Bai Tianrao's voice was still very pleasant. Her sweet tone was just like her appearance, and everyone would subconsciously think that she must be a very sunny person.

"You walked so gracefully!"

"Thanks."

Bai Tianrao chuckled, then pulled her manager away. The manager was utterly bewildered: "That's it? You waited so long just to say one compliment?"

"Otherwise what?"

The agent wanted to ask more questions, but then decided against it, as she didn't want to interfere too much in the artist's private life.

When they arrived at the store, Chu Quanyi took Mei Qing to her studio next door. They were both in high spirits, looking like they were ready to make a big splash.

The wind chimes rang.

As soon as Xi Xinxin entered the store, she saw familiar faces again: Wang Shanni and Chen Tongyun. Chen Tongyun was holding a book, but her attention was actually focused on the doorway.

Xi Xinxin walked to their seats as she wished: "Are you looking for me?"

Chen Tongyun pointed at Mu Xiaoxue, who had just come downstairs, with a resentful look: "Didn't you say your shop wasn't hiring? Damn it! What's wrong with that girl?"

It made it seem like Xi Xinxin had betrayed her.

He sighed and rubbed his forehead. "The position just opened up recently, and we're hiring someone. You're too late again."

Chen Tongyun covered her face with a book and whispered, "The fashion show was very beautiful."

Xi Xinxin and Wang Shanni exchanged a smile: "What? The voice was too soft to hear."

“I said, the fashion show was very beautiful.” Chen Tongyun lowered her head even further.

Wang Shanni pulled the book away from her face: "Alright, Xi Xinxin, you looked great on the runway, you're really excellent. I came to see you today for some other things."

Xi Xinxin listened attentively.

“Chen Tongyun’s parents planned to take her abroad for treatment, but Chen Tongyun was unwilling to go.” Wang Shanni sighed: “In fact, whether in China or abroad, this disease is almost incurable, plus she has a very poor constitution from birth.”

Xi Xinxin sat up straight: "What illness?"

“I don’t know the medical term, but if it drags on any longer, it will become an incurable terminal illness.” Wang Shanni took out Chen Tongyun’s medical record and showed it to Xi Xinxin.

Xi Xinxin looked at the medical record, then at Chen Tongyun, who was exhausted and had fallen asleep at some point: "So, what do you want me to do?"

"I just hope that when Chen Tongyun tries to chat with you, you can pay more attention to her."

Xi Xinxin printed out a copy of the medical record and kept it with her. She knew Chen Tongyun was in poor health, but she hadn't expected it to be this bad. Xi Xinxin couldn't quite describe her feelings. To put it more precisely, she felt a great sense of challenge.

The challenge is to develop a viable vaccine, one that can effectively combat terminal illnesses.

But relying on herself alone is not enough. A team is very important, so it seems she will have to recruit students like Chu Quanyi.

How come the two of them actually started doing their old job in the virtual world?

Let's hire a student. The rest should be handled by maintaining close contact with the real-world teams.

"Boss, my benefactor! I need your help with something. I'll be at your shop in a bit." The caller was Feng Yufeng.

Compared to their last meeting, Feng Yufeng looked quite handsome in his suit today, though his face showed obvious anxiety: "Boss, my benefactor."

"Stop, call me Xi Xinxin."

“Boss Xi, let me be frank. You know Mu Xue is my teacher. Even though I’ve grown a bit, I still respect my teacher very much.” Feng Yufeng spoke quickly: “But I know the person she’s mentoring now. He’s my high school classmate, and this guy is a bit of a weirdo!”

"How so?"

"Can you believe she dissected toads in high school?"

Xi Xinxin's eyes lit up; she could finally get this free student.

Feng Yufeng thought Xi Xinxin was also a little anxious, so he continued, "Actually, it's not just that. The main thing is that she's very shady. I heard she scared away several teachers before, always doing experiments randomly, and even almost caused an explosion! As for her studies, I remember she was studying medicine, how come she suddenly became a lawyer?"

Xi Xinxin became more and more satisfied as she listened: "Don't worry, I'll just poach this person."

"ah?"

"Ahem, no, I guarantee I'll help Mu Xue get out of danger."

Feng Yufeng was moved: "You truly deserve to be called the benefactor of Boss Xi."

Call me Xi Xinxin.

Mu Xue must have just finished her work; the lawyer next to the defendant this time was really difficult. Luckily, she had asked the plaintiff many questions beforehand. Being diligent is always a good thing. She came out of the courthouse, her new assistant standing beside her.

She appeared to be a woman around her age, but her hair was very long. Her single ponytail reached almost to her waist, and it was styled in waves. She seemed quiet, but actually had many questions.

She seems to have a very strong personality; usually, when Mu Xue asks a question, she can't help but start answering quickly. It's quite a test of her spirit. But that's also good, it helps improve her memory.

"Teacher, you just received a phone call."

Mu Xue saw that the caller ID was Xi Xinxin, and since she had plenty of free time, she called back.

"Come with me, a friend of mine wants to meet you."

When they arrived at the store, the woman next to Mu Xue said, "I know this store, but I've never been here before. I wonder what the wine on the second floor tastes like."

"Would you like to try some? It's on you."

"Thank you, teacher."

After Mu Xue entered the store, she gestured that she wanted to go upstairs. Xi Xinxin nodded and followed her up: "Is this the new person you brought along?"

"Yes, her name is Zhang Suxiang. This is my friend and the owner of this restaurant, Xi Xinxin."

The two were sizing each other up. Zhang Suxiang hummed in agreement: "Looks younger than me. To be a boss already, that's quite impressive for someone so young."

Mu Xue chuckled and ordered two bottles of low-alcohol liquor: "But he's a very nice person."

Even though Zhang Suxiang had only spent three or four days with Mu Xue, she knew that her teacher seemed to be very satisfied with the person in front of her.

Xi Xinxin stated her purpose directly: "How about giving up the lawyer to become my assistant?"

These words stunned both of them for a moment. Mu Xue wasn't really concerned; after all, if she lost this student, she would simply be assigned another one. Her only goal was to get a promotion. She was just curious why Xi Xinxin had said that.

Zhang Suxiang began by asking: "What type of assistant are you? What do you do? What are your work hours? What is your workload? What is your salary? What are your vacation days? Do you work overtime?"

Xi Xinxin quickly responded: "Medical field, 9 to 5, not many, more, weekends off, none."

Zhang Suxiang was clearly very interested when she heard about medical-related fields, but she hesitated: "What exactly do you do?"

Xi Xinxin glanced at Mu Xue, who knew that the rest of the conversation might need to be between the two of them: "Okay, I'll give you the day off. Contact me again when you've made up your mind."

Xi Xinxin didn't intend to blindly let her go directly to the laboratory. Instead, she went to Chu Quanyi's side.

To be honest, Zhang Suxiang still thinks Xi Xinxin is just a relay person. There are actually more experienced teachers, and she's currently going to meet that medical teacher.

But when she saw Mei Qing and Chu Quanyi, her expression became somewhat vulnerable. It must be said that all three of them are very beautiful, but talent is something that looks alone cannot compensate for.

"Who are these two?" Zhang Suxiang hoped to get the answer that they were just students.

"Ah. This is Chu Quanyi. This is Mei Qing. She is her younger brother's student. So the two teachers here are her and me."

Xi Xinxin was completely unaware of Zhang Suxiang's distorted expression.

"Could you please repeat who the teacher is?"

"Me and this Chu Quanyi."

Zhang Suxiang thought these two were both younger than her, so was this some kind of game? "Medicine is a serious matter, and I hope you're not treating it like a game."

"Before judging someone by their appearance, shouldn't we also consider their abilities?" Xi Xinxin greeted him with a smile. However, this made Zhang Suxiang feel a little apprehensive.

Chu Quanyi understood. In the medical field, Xi Xinxin never joked.

"Why don't you guys have a competition?" But Chu Quanyi, always eager for excitement, said, "So you're studying medicine too, right? This is a tomato."

Chu Quanyi took out a knife and chopped it into pieces: "Whoever can sew it up properly is more capable."

Zhang Suxiang readily agreed.

The two went into another room. This room was mostly filled with medical equipment. This was something Chu Quanyi had figured out when she opened the room. She felt that Xi Xinxin would eventually need it.

See? It's coming in handy now, isn't it?

Both of their rituals were excellent. They were well-prepared. Only then did Zhang Suxiang begin to feel a slight sense of crisis.

It's impossible to make two tomatoes have exactly the same cross-section. But the difficulty is the same. Xi Xinxin probably hasn't performed surgery in this world for two or three years.

But her technique remained fluid.

Zhang Suxiang didn't look at the other person. She focused intently on the tomato in front of her. She imagined the tomato as a patient suffering from severe bleeding. What would she do?

"I'm not saying this to criticize you, but why did you become a doctor? Look at how serious the doctor-patient relationship is now."

"If you ask me, I'd say you should become a top lawyer. All you need to do is talk."

"You studied this in school? My God, you're attacking small animals, you must be a monster."

"If you ask me, most people who study medicine have no conscience. Look at you, you might as well rely on your sons to support you in your old age."

"What's wrong with me eating animal meat? I'm just eating it. It's not like I'm dissecting it like someone like you."

"The doctors these days still lack skill. Why not just use more mice for experiments? Of course, human lives are more important."

Zhang Suxiang hadn't spoken to her family, relatives, and friends for a long time. Before she knew it, she had gone for a lawyer's interview.

"I'm done." Looking at the perfectly intact tomato in front of me, a sense of satisfaction welled up inside me.

Xi Xinxin tossed the tomatoes up and down: "I'm done too."

Anyone with eyes can see that Xi Xinxin's restoration is even more perfect. It's just like the original.

Zhang Suxiang was completely convinced. Perhaps she had given up on studying law when the repair process began, and she had almost lost sight of her original purpose: "Teacher, I want to be your assistant."

"sure."
