We moved to Golden Courtyard

"Ok?"

"If I hadn't chosen to side with Li Fucong back then, would the outcome have been different?"

……

Does it matter?

Xin'an was taken aback upon hearing Xu Qi's words.

"After all, from your perspective, your choice is understandable. His family background is what it is, and it's only natural to be opportunistic these days."

But the important thing is what you did afterward. You helped me get the information on 914, helped me learn about Char and Rhodes, and even on the day 956 happened, you chose to help me one last time.

These are the choices that truly matter, Xin'an. You might be more emotional than you think...

······

Xu Qi did not linger at the Jiuting base. After a brief reunion with Xin'an, he left.

In his words, there were people at home waiting for him to come back for dinner.

"That's great...it seems they're already living together..." Xin'an thought to herself.

But as Xu Qi said, it seems that the outcome doesn't really matter anymore. After experiencing so much, not only Xu Qi, but also Xin An himself, have become much more open-minded.

You shouldn't meet someone too amazing when you're young, otherwise you won't be able to spend the rest of your life in peace.

The question is, if I had never met Xu Qi and never had this legendary experience, would I really not regret it? On the contrary, wouldn't I regret it even more...?

Look ahead. No matter how significant Xu Qi's life may be, the key is to handle the present situation well.

After all, for someone of Xin'an's age to become a technical supervisor requires him to be respected by the public.

……

On the way back, Xu Qi received a call from Bronya.

"Is it all done? Resignation?"

"Yes, the process went quite smoothly."

"That's good. I was just wondering if the subway company would hold people back."

“I’m not that important, Miss Bronya.”

"It's just that they couldn't keep you... Come to work tomorrow. Although I would love to give you some more time off, time waits for no one."

"I see."

"Let's get familiar with the work and the team first."

"Ok."

"Don't worry, what I value is your ideas and concepts for Alahato. You don't need to control the details of making an animation; your role is more like..."

"Control of ideology."

"Ah..." Bronya paused for a moment on the other end of the phone, then laughed and said, "As expected of someone who came from a state-owned enterprise, your summary is spot on."

Don't worry, I'll oversee the overall work. The production manager and his team will handle the details. As for you, the screenwriter, all you need to do is ensure that Seed shines as it should.

"Then you even assigned me a studio manager position... Honestly, that's terrifying."

"Really? Young man, you should shoulder more responsibilities. I have high hopes for you, young man."

"I'm not that confident in myself..."

"Don't say that. The joy of work lies in discovering the meaning and extra value you should bring to your work. If you're so insecure, then I..."

Bronya whispered the last sentence, as if she were speaking into Xu Qi's ear: "I might give you a little reward, you know..."

"!"

To be honest, Xu Qi is almost developing PTSD from the word 'reward'.

"For example, using my used stockings to do something bad or something."

Xu Qi instantly went berserk.

"Who wants it!"

"Ah...does he want panties? That won't do. I have to maintain my dignity and modesty as a woman."

"These two things are completely irrelevant to you now!"

"Don't get excited~~ Shouldn't a virgin like you be excited to meet an older sister like me?"

You're way behind the times, Bronya! I'm not just a virgin who's graduated from the game, I'm practically a veteran of countless battles!

Of course, Xu Qi selectively omitted this statement.

Instead, he replied with two words.

"Ha ha……"

"I won't bother you anymore. Go back and spend some quality time with your girlfriend. After all, you'll be very busy with work soon. Let's cheer each other on, young man."

"Yes, please take care of me from now on, Bronya."

······

After hanging up the phone, Bronya couldn't help but laugh as she recalled the boy's clearly embarrassed and exasperated tone on the other end.

Honestly, even though he has a lot of wild ideas in his head and has done such amazing things, he is still just a child at heart.

I feel like I'm sexually harassing a young boy like that... It makes me feel like I'm flirting with him.

But Bronya then thought: It doesn't matter, I'm his future boss, after all. Workplace harassment and all that—Xu Qi, you don't want me to fire you, do you...

No, no! Bronya, what are you thinking?!

This single woman, like Himeko and Sakura before her, shook her head—Work, work! This time, she's determined to use this Alahato to turn her life around!

189. Where can you find a boss as good as Bronya?

The next day, Xu Qi got up very early in Ai Li's room.

Tsk... I have a feeling this kid is really going too far. Did he choose to sleep with Airi instead of Mei because he didn't want to be drained too much and be late the next day?

Are you some kind of ancient emperor who had to choose his concubines?!

It's just that the professor has been incredibly busy these past few days; otherwise, he would have made sure Xu Qi knew that he was merely a human-shaped stick, and that she had to be careful not to be drained dry at any time.

When I got up, I moved a bit too much and woke Ellie up too.

She groggily sat up in bed, looked at Xu Qi who was changing clothes, and said, "Hmm... Good morning, Xu Qi..."

Xu Qi glanced away... Very well, Ai Li, who hadn't even put on her clothes yet, probably didn't know that she was already in a state of budding spring.

The blush and the occasional lip prints on her snow-white body were stimulating Xu Qi's visual nerves.

Helpless, he walked over and covered her with the blanket, kissed Ellie on the cheek and said, "You go to sleep first, I'm going to work."

Ai Li then realized that today was Xu Qi's first day reporting to the new company.

The pink fairy wrapped her arms around Xu Qi's neck and kissed him on the lips.

"Go for it, Xu Qi!"

"Ah."

After washing up and walking out of the room, I was surprised to find that Mei was also up and preparing breakfast for Xu Qi in the kitchen.

Xu Qi was taken aback, then smiled and moved closer to Mei, wrapping his arms around her slender waist from behind, burying his head in the girl's smooth hair, and breathing in Mei's wonderful energy.

"You're up? Stop itching, it's tickling..."

He kissed the girl's delicate profile; at that moment, Mei was undoubtedly the most beautiful in Xu Qi's heart.

"My wife is so good to me, she even prepared breakfast for me."

She pursed her lips shyly. Although she was delighted by Xu Qi's way of addressing her, it was still a bit too embarrassing for an 18-year-old girl.

Like a beautiful rose blooming in one's own arms.

Xu Qi looked at the other woman's exquisitely beautiful posture, which was revealed by her shyness, and couldn't help but feel a strong urge to release his desire. After all, he had just vented his desire on Ai Li last night...

But there's no way around it, I still have to go to work...

Suppressing the strange thought, he gave Mei a hard kiss on the neck, causing the girl to gasp in surprise.

I'll deal with you when I get back tonight.

"Then you'd better come back soon."

I'll try my best.

······

Driving into the city center, no matter how many times I've done it, I still can't help but feel a surge of excitement when I see Alahato's office building in front of me.

It was my childhood dream, after all...

As she walked into the company carrying her briefcase, many people coming to work in the morning would glance at Xu Qi.

After all... they're new faces.

However, it's uncertain whether the other party is actually there to work; they could be a supplier or an outsourcing company.

When the elevator reached the top floor, Xu Qi straightened his appearance and took a deep breath as he knocked on Bronya's office door.

Xu Qi was dressed very formally today, in a gray suit that made him look very sharp. I must say... he was quite handsome.

Go Xu Qi!

"Please come in."

It's clearly a very mature, sophisticated voice, yet it still has a touch of innocent, childlike sweetness—it's definitely Bronya.

Xu Qi walked into the office, and Bronya, who was sitting behind the desk, immediately brightened up when she saw Xu Qi! She stood up and couldn't help but smile.

She was still wearing that familiar navy blue business suit, with a gray undershirt underneath. The blue tag draped over her ample bosom made her look incredibly alluring.

Even though nothing can be seen, it only fuels the imagination... especially when the other person stands up, their black stockings are impossible to look away from.

Big sister Bronya, please... take advantage of me!

"You arrived quite early?"

Adjusting her gaze, Xu Qi said, "It's my first day at work, and I want to make a good impression."

With her arms crossed over her chest, Bronya looked Xu Qi up and down, then smiled and nodded.

"You don't need to dress so formally anymore. We're an animation company, not a finance firm—come with me, I'll show you around our newly established studio."

Xu Qi scratched his head awkwardly, then followed behind Bronya, listening to her introduction while trying to grasp some key information points.

"The company attaches great importance to the Seed project. You and I don't need to worry about fundraising; there are dedicated people to handle it."

We are confident that we can produce and raise funds simultaneously, and going forward, all of the company's resources will be prioritized for Seed. I think you understand what that means.

Xu Qi said, "As the supervisor, I have to be a little unscrupulous when necessary to ensure the normal operation of the project."

Bronya glanced at Xu Qi subtly, a slight smile playing on her lips.

She didn't say whether it was right or wrong, she just continued.

"You need to know that in this company, I am your backer, so no matter what happens, remember what I said, it means everything!"

Bronya paused for a moment.

"You can come to me to solve any of these problems."

"Understood, uh..."

"From now on, call me boss at the company."

"Yes, boss"

Perhaps feeling the atmosphere was getting a bit too serious, Bronya teased, "Of course, you can call me whatever you want in private. We're friends, so I wouldn't mind if you called me 'darling'."

I mind!

Xu Qi's lips were twitching slightly. On her first day at work, her boss was already showing signs of wanting to sexually harass her. What should she do? She needed help urgently.

When Xu Qi arrived at Seed's studio, he was taken aback. The huge office space had countless workstations, and now... almost all the employees were already in place.
