We moved to Golden Courtyard

"But please don't blame Miss Delta. For her, this might be more than just a job..."

After listening, Xu Qi glanced at Delta's office and then nodded seriously.

"I understand."

……

Xu Qi walked into his office, which was, to be honest, quite spacious and fully equipped.

Delta's office doesn't have a water dispenser, so she has to go outside to get water, but Xu Qi's office does have one... It feels like they're being treated differently.

Sofa, desk and chairs, matching computer—it has everything you could need, and...

"That's right, it was assigned to you according to the standards of Bronya's Ombudsman's Office."

It must be Bronya's idea... Xu Qi felt not only the other party's attention, but also a sense of responsibility—if he didn't do a good job, even he himself wouldn't forgive himself.

Just as I was looking around, a gasp suddenly came from beside me!

Xu Qi suddenly turned around and saw that Miss Rita, who was behind him, seemed to have twisted her body accidentally and fell towards the water dispenser next to her.

Without hesitation, with superhuman speed and reflexes, Xu Qi reached out and firmly supported Rita.

"Are you alright, Miss Rita?"

What a quick move! And... Rita glanced casually at the large hand that was around her shoulder—it wasn't overstepping any boundaries, it was impeccably proper...

"I'm fine, Mr. Xu Qi."

"Did you twist your ankle?"

"Um, it was an accident..."

Xu Qi helped Rita sit on the sofa and said with concern, "Please sit here for now."

Then he went straight out the door and headed to Delta's office next door.

Rita was stunned—he…he couldn’t be…

Sure enough, a short while later, Delta arrived with Xu Qi, looking anxious.

"Are you alright, Rita? I heard you twisted your ankle!"

……

Rita could only feign pain and awkwardly say, "Ah...yes...I twisted it. Sorry, it was my fault."

"I told you not to wear high heels... Are we going to the infirmary?"

"Oh, no need!" Rita quickly waved her hand, thinking, "What a joke! I'll rest in Manager Xu's room for a while, I should be fine then."

Delta breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Xu Qi.

That look in his eyes seemed to say—you're pretty savvy, kid.

Xu Qi raised an eyebrow.

"Should I remind you that I am, in a sense, your superior?"

"Tch! ...A higher rank can crush a person..."

I don't feel that way at all with you!

"Let's go, it's almost 9:30, we have to go to a production meeting. Rita, you can rest here, I'll talk to Bronya."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to Delta."

He gave Xu Qi a look, and the other person immediately understood, following Delta out of the office.

Delta said this as soon as the results came out.

"Isn't Rita beautiful?"

what?

Xu Qi... Xu Qi could only nod truthfully.

"She didn't twist her ankle."

It's obvious that Xu Qi is holding back a laugh.

"Rita is 27 years old this year, only two years older than you. I heard she's been single all this time. I think you two are a good match. Why don't you try dating?"

Xu Qi quickly coughed and said, "Miss Delta, what are you saying..."

"Huh? Are you made of wood? Can't you tell what a woman means by telling such a little lie in front of a man?"

Xu Qi fell silent...

"I didn't expect that Rita would try to seduce you on the very first day. You're quite charming."

Really? Xu Qi was gripped by a sense of panic.

"Keep it up. You're so young and you're already a screenwriter. Bronya seems to think highly of you too. You have a bright future ahead of you... I agree to your marriage with Rita."

Why are you already talking about marriage?! I guess you're the production manager after all? You're even pushing things like this so hard! It's an occupational hazard of yours!

Now, Xu Qi was truly panicked.

On my first day at the new company, both my boss and subordinates wanted to sleep with me. What should I do? I need help urgently!

192. Miss Rita, you are very profound...

The production meeting this morning went very smoothly.

Bronya, as the director, went over the character designs and the core spirit that Alahatto Seed wanted to express with everyone.

“Miss Danju is really amazing. This is exactly the kind of feeling Kira wanted: a slightly immature high school student who stands in stark contrast to Athrun, his childhood friend.”

"Hehe~~ It's not as amazing as Mr. Xu made it out to be..."

Of course, there will be disputes.

Art director Mr. Huangfu is an elderly man nearing 50, but he still speaks with a strong voice and has his own opinions. He once had a heated argument with Bronya.

"How could Kira and Athrun's first meeting on the battlefield be depicted with a vivid background! What are you thinking, Director!? A more blurred background is needed to express the complex emotions of the young man at that moment!"

Bronya asked Xu Qi directly.

What do you think?

Xu Qi hesitated. He actually agreed with Mr. Huangfu, but Bronya…

"I……"

But this hesitation made Bronya click her tongue in annoyance—she was disliked…

During a break, Delta found Xu Qi.

Do you know why the supervisor was angry just now?

"It's because I didn't agree with her..."

"no!"

"Ugh?"

Delta, however, criticized him harshly: "Put away your idiotic ideas from being stuck in a state-owned enterprise for too long! This is an animation company; we're making animation, not playing politics!"

"Yes!"

"What really upset the supervisor was that you hesitated too much just now, clearly trying to play peacemaker. But we don't need people like that here!"

The best designs are born from constant debate and discussion during the animation production process! Be sure to express your thoughts!

Whether you're right or wrong, if you have your reasons, you must speak them! No hesitation, and absolutely no changing your mind! Understand?

"Yes, Director Delta!"

It feels like the roles of superior and subordinate have been reversed...

The meeting resumed, and before Bronya could speak, Xu Qi stood up and said, "I apologize for my behavior just now!"

Ugh?

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, except for Delta and Bronya, who both wore smiles.

"Regarding the background of the painting where Kira and Athrun meet, I think Mr. Huangfu is absolutely right! Vibrant colors can indeed showcase the vitality of young people."

But! They are friends, and certainly not ordinary teenagers. Using the blurred background to highlight the complex emotions of the teenagers at that moment is, in my opinion, the right approach!

"So...you think my idea is wrong?"

Xu Qi took a deep breath.

"It's just inappropriate, not wrong."

Bronya smiled upon hearing this.

"Okay, if you can give your reasons, I'll accept them."

Xu Qi's face lit up with joy. He first glanced at Delta, then at Mr. Huangfu sitting opposite him, and the two nodded to each other.

The meeting continued and finally ended amidst the noise.

On the way back, Delta laughed and said, "You've got some nerve, kid..."

"Huh? Didn't you tell me to stick to my opinion?"

"But as a newcomer, you actually dared to talk back to Coach Bronya like that. That kind of courage is rare. Not bad, I'm starting to admire you a bit now."

Is it just a little bit?

"Remember your state just now. This is ETStudio. We don't need useless people, and we certainly don't need people who are afraid to express their ideas. Besides, you are a screenwriter, so your opinion is even more important."

"Your advice is correct."

"Alright~~" Delta waved his hand coolly, "No matter what, you are my boss, and I don't want you to make things difficult for me. As for being a senior, forget it."

"No!" Xu Qi said very seriously.

"Although I hold a high position, I am still just a newcomer and there is still much for me to learn. I hope you will continue to guide me in the future."

……

Now I can finally understand why Bronya thinks so highly of this young man named Xu Qi.

It is indeed very attractive...

"Let's each talk about our own things. There are many things I need to learn from Mr. Xu Qi. Let's teach each other."

"Ok!"

When the two returned to the office, Delta seemed to remember something and suddenly said to Xu Qi as she walked back to her own office, "Rita should still be in your office, right..."

Xu Qi froze.

"Keep it up, I'm right next door. Come find me if you need any help. Good night!"

This blessing is way too early!

Delta is great in every way, except for this one aspect that drives Xu Qi crazy...

But Rita...

With a nervous heart, Xu Qi opened the office door.

"Manager Xu, has the meeting ended?"

Sure enough, Rita was still there.

Glancing at the other woman's graceful figure, to be honest... a beautiful older sister like Rita is practically dancing on Xu Qi's XP.

If he were still single, Xu Qi would definitely have made a move! But that won't work now...

He obediently sat back down behind his desk and asked, "Is your foot alright now?"

"Yes, I'll be fine after resting for a while."

"Oh, then you can go out now. I need to start writing the script for the next few chapters."

……

What kind of straight guy is this?! Seeing a beauty like me sitting in the room, he not only doesn't come over, but he also tells me to get out!

Am I really that unattractive to you?! You bastard!
