Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

Seeing that things were not going well, Rosalyn and the others had already made their escape, leaving only Seele in a dilemma.

"Teacher Bai, what should we do now?" Xi'er asked softly.

"How should I know?" If he wasn't afraid of being punished by Bronya's heavily armored bunny later, he would have run away too.

However, the two women ultimately prevailed over reason and looked at Bai Qianqu in unison, which startled him.

Ellie shook her head with some regret: "Never mind, since this is Chiku's wish, I can't force it."

Bronya finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Ellie would use her never-give-up spirit to relentlessly pursue Bai Qianqu, and if that happened, Bai Qianqu might actually be poached.

But Ellie's next sentence stunned Bronya.

"If a thousand songs won't come to chase the fire, then I can at least come to reverse entropy!"

Bronya was completely confused.

Ellie, hands on her hips, said confidently, "With my extensive experience in Chasing Fire, I should be more than qualified to take on the role at Anti-Entropy, right?"

"I don't ask for much, I just want to be a manager, I want to be Chiku's manager!"

Bronya finally understood Ellie's little scheme.

"No way!" Bronya refused without even thinking.

Are you kidding me? An executive from a rival company wants to join your company? Is that something a normal person would even think of?

Before Ellie could say anything more, Bronya had already pushed her toward the elevator.

"We agreed that we only needed to meet once, and now that you've met, let's go!"

Ellie struggled: "I haven't finished speaking yet, wait, at least let me exchange contact information!"

After exchanging contact information, Ellie waved goodbye, satisfied.

Seeing Ellie leave, Bai Qianqu breathed a sigh of relief. If she had continued talking, Bronya might have really exploded.

Bronya breathed a sigh of relief, but she still turned to Bai Qianqu and said, "Qianqu, although I said that just now, I won't stop you if you really want to find another job."

"Really?" Bai Qianqu perked up, but seeing Bronya's face darken again, she couldn't help but laugh. "Just kidding, I'm not leaving. I haven't released the song I recorded yet, how could I leave?"

"You bastard, you really deserve a beating." Bronya punched Bai Qianqu, but it was soft and had no power at all. "Just wait, your song 'The Wind Rises' has passed the review and will be released soon. I'll let you see the promotional power of our Anti-Entropy then."

"The resources we're allocating to you this time are enough to make even top celebrities envious."

Seeing Bronya's confident demeanor, Bai Qianqu was filled with curiosity.

He knew the importance of song promotion. After all, in the entertainment industry, even the best wine needs advertising. If the promotion is inadequate, the song's popularity will inevitably be greatly reduced when it is finally released.

If a song doesn't become an instant hit, it won't be so easy to make a comeback.

Furthermore, Eden, an S-class composer, will also be releasing a song next month. As a newcomer, Bai Qianqu will have to compete on the same stage with this veteran, making the difficulty level extremely high.

Everyone understands this principle, so many composers have given up on releasing songs next month, and among all the composers, only Bai Qianqu is a novice.

Chapter 28 Duck: Working Overtime Tonight

As soon as he finished get off work that evening, Bai Qianqu received a message from Ai Li asking him to meet at a coffee shop.

Why do these girls always choose coffee shops when they ask someone out?

Bai Qianqu muttered to herself, tidied up, and left work on time amidst the envious gazes of her colleagues, including Li Yang.

Bai Qianqu smiled smugly. Overtime? Overtime is impossible, I'll never work overtime in my life.

As he was waiting for the elevator to go downstairs, he noticed Bronya standing at the elevator entrance, seemingly waiting for someone. Her eyes lit up when she saw him.

"Ahem, Qianqu, I need to talk to you about something. How about you stay and work overtime tonight?"

Bai Qianqu:? ? ?

Why does this plot feel a little familiar?

No! I absolutely cannot succumb to the tyranny of capital!

Bai Qianqu decisively shook her head: "I have something to do tonight, I can't add it."

"Hmm?" Bronya's sharp gaze immediately made Bai Qianqu waver. "Can't add it?"

Bai Qianqu firmly stated, "I can't add it."

"Really can't add it?"

Bai Qianqu remained firm: "I can't add it."

Bronya stared at Bai Qianqu for a moment and said, "Fine, I was thinking of inviting you to my office to play something fun, but since you don't want to, then forget it."

Fun?

Bai Qianqu looked at Bronya and couldn't help but feel a little tempted, but when she thought of Ellie waiting for her outside, she could only force herself to say, "Let's see next time."

"There won't be a next time!" Bronya snorted and turned to leave.

Watching Bronya's departing figure, Bai Qianqu felt like she had missed out on a fortune.

But there's no way around it, you can't have your cake and eat it too. I'd better hurry down and find fish, oh wait, I mean, find Ellie.

Bronya returned to her office to find Seele and Hill sitting on the sofa, each holding a controller and playing video games on TV.

Upon seeing Bronya return, Seele quickly asked, "Sister Bronya, didn't Teacher Bai come?"

"He's in a hurry to go see his old flame," Bronya said, somewhat angrily.

"???" Seele and Hill looked at each other in bewilderment. Why are you so angry that he went to see his lover?

Bronya noticed her lapse in composure and coughed to explain, "He met with Ellie. The two of them have known each other since childhood. I'm worried that Ellie will poach Chiku."

Upon hearing this, the Seele sisters couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

They participated in the recording of all three of Bai Qianqu's songs and witnessed his prowess firsthand. If Bai Qianqu were to go to Zhu Huo, wouldn't it be difficult to collaborate with him again in the future?

Just thinking about it is terrifying.

Hilton stood up immediately: "No! We can't let Teacher Bai get kidnapped! We'll go after her right now and bring her back!"

Seele quickly grabbed Hill and pulled him back, both amused and exasperated.

If this guy really manages to rush out and find Bai Qianqu, she might actually just grab him and carry him away.

Bronya quickly added, "I was just saying, Chiku didn't say she was leaving."

Hill sat back down angrily: "I've always felt that Ellie wasn't a good person. The way she looks at my Hill is always so strange."

Seele blushed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"To be honest, look at the way Bronya looks at me—sob!"

Seele quickly covered Hill's mouth, her face turning bright red with embarrassment.

Bronya rolled her eyes, but what Hill said wasn't entirely unreasonable. If Bai Qianqu and Ai Li were to stay together all the time, who knew what might happen?

She didn't want to wake up one day to receive Bai Qianqu's resignation letter.

However, preventing Bai Qianqu from meeting Ai Li is unrealistic unless he is imprisoned.

Instead of worrying like this, it would be better to take some concrete actions to strengthen the relationship between Bai Qianqu and Anti-Entropy, for example—

Improve benefits?

Throughout history, there have been two main reasons for leaving a job.

One is low pay, the other is poor treatment.

There are always capitalists complaining about not being able to find workers and about labor shortages, but honestly, if your company offered high wages and good benefits, how could you not have any employees?

Therefore, these bosses need to reflect on their own reasons and stop blaming the workers.

Ahem, I digress. Back to the point, Bronya's solution was to raise Bai Qianqu's contract level.

Bai Qianqu has already written three songs. Although they haven't been released yet, the number of plays will definitely be high, and she will definitely be promoted to B-level.

Since that's the case, why not do him a favor and upgrade Bai Qianqu's contract to B level? That way, we can do him a favor.

This would greatly reduce the likelihood of Bai Qianqu switching jobs.

As Bronya was thinking, Seele tugged at her sleeve.

"Bronya, didn't you say you had a new game you wanted us to play?"

Bronya suddenly realized what was happening and quickly nodded, saying, "Yes, it's on a USB drive. Let me look for it."

Soon, Bronya found the USB drive that Bai Qianqu had given her that morning in the drawer.

She had called Bai Qianqu over earlier because she wanted him to personally explain the new game, and she even invited the Seele sisters to play with her.

Now that Bai Qianqu isn't here, she has to figure it out herself.

Bronya inserted the USB drive into the computer and, sure enough, found a small folder inside. When she saw the name of the folder, she was stunned.

"angry Birds?"

Hill saw this and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"This name, hahaha, it's so catchy!"

Seele asked curiously, "Bronya, is this the new game?"

Bronya was also seeing this name for the first time, and nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, and this game was given to me by Chiku, I don't know if he made it himself."

"Teacher Bai's game?" Seele and Hill exchanged a glance, both showing expressions of surprise.

A composer making games?

This is so novel!

Not only did they make it, they also gave it to Bronya to try out.

Regardless of how well the game is made, Bai Qianqu seems to have become even more impressive in Xier's mind.

Which girl wouldn't like a handsome young man who is multi-talented?

Bronya hesitated before opening the file, then found an .exe file with a red bird icon. After double-clicking it, a black dialog box popped up on the screen.

"Playing with birds, you understand?"

Bronya and the other two peered at the screen, their little heads craning their necks, and three question marks slowly appeared on their faces.

"Pooh!"
