We moved to Golden Courtyard

She held back her tears.

"Now you understand what I'm saying, right? My little maid?"

Xu Qi... Meeting you is my good fortune.

Rita swallowed, her throat tightening, mirroring her thoughts. She held back her tears, feeling that she shouldn't be crying at this moment.

She looked up, her face streaked with tears, which pierced Xu Qi's heart.

Her bloodshot eyes looked at Xu Qi.

Rita said softly, "But I still don't want to say."

Xu Qi laughed.

"Why is this again?"

Rita leaned close to Xu Qi's ear and bit down!

But the seemingly fierce movements quickly turned into tender and affectionate ones.

"Because... I want the master to punish your maid severely."

Oh no...

"Does the master not wish to?"

This alluring vixen! She's way too erotic!

Xu Qi squinted.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it... Remember to keep your voice down later."

A captivating smile buried her joyful tears. The woman, as mysterious and elegant as a rosemary, gently comforted Xu Qi and slowly sat down.

Two satisfied sighs signaled the start of tonight's madness.

The ebb and flow of the tide is just like the shadow of a person.

Sometimes faster, sometimes slower; if a big wave comes crashing in, no one knows what extraordinary commotion it might cause.

In short... Xu Qi really wanted to let Miss Rita know that her punishment was not so easy to bear.

······

The next day, Xu, the manager, was naturally late.

He also brought news that Rita, the general affairs manager, had something to attend to at home and was taking the day off.

Why does Manager Xu know so much about Rita's general affairs? Ah~~ But this doesn't seem to be any new gossip anymore.

At ETStudio, Manager Xu's reputation is well-known; not only does he have several girlfriends, but he also has an ambiguous relationship with his secretary.

the most important is!

He even got to live off President Bronya!

A dashing and debonair man is always the subject of much gossip.

Of course, only the people at Seed Studio know that this legendary scumbag is actually nothing like a playboy.

He wouldn't do things like flirting with girls all the time.

He is frighteningly serious and takes his work extremely seriously.

Susana can attest to this.

"Boss Xu is very serious, and she would never harass female subordinates!"

"how do you know?"

"Because she never harassed me?"

The female colleagues glanced at Susana's silly expression and forced a smile.

All I could think was—if I could work with Manager Xu every day, I guarantee he'd make a move on me the very next day. Young, rich, and with a bright future ahead of him…

"These are the storyboards that Bronya just drew. She's been working much faster lately, producing storyboards in no time."

Inside the office, Delta handed the manuscript to Xu Qi and waited at the desk instead of leaving immediately.

"Hey, you...spent yesterday with Rita?"

"how do you know?"

Delta curled her lip, looking at the man in front of her with disdain.

"You were late this morning and even asked Rita for the day off. Did you make it so you couldn't get out of bed?"

"Cough! What are you saying?" Xu Qi glared at Delta, but what he was really thinking about... was the madness of last night.

Rita kept pestering him; the little maid was getting more and more creative these days, using her mouth, her feet, and those two... um...

In short, everything that could be used to serve Xu Qi was used up, and Xu Qi was thoroughly drained by one person.

Delta pursed her lips, really not understanding how Rita could fall for such a man.

Yes! I don't understand! I don't understand either!

Delta felt a strange mix of bitterness and anger in her heart, and she snorted.

"Don't forget to report the progress to Bronya."

"understood."

That's something I can't forget.

After Delta left, Bronya crawled out from under the table, wiped her mouth, and looked at Xu Qi with a (???) gaze.

"You're completely disarmed when Rita is mentioned—you're very excited?"

Xu Qi's lips twitched, looking quite embarrassed.

"She's already moved in? In Golden Courtyard?"

Xu Qi honestly admitted it.

I thought Bronya would be jealous, but she just nodded.

"She deserves it... but speaking of which, it's almost December, shouldn't you start making plans?"

"December? Uh... you mean Christmas..." Xu Qi couldn't help but smile wryly when this was mentioned.

Bronya loved seeing Xu Qi's slightly embarrassed expression.

He tapped the other person's forehead and smiled, "I look forward to your gift then."

547. Kiana still prefers you when you're happy.

Christmas……

Strictly speaking, this day is actually the birthday of Jesus, a day to commemorate this man who is great enough to the Western world.

However, after this festival spread to Asia, it's unclear whether there was a problem with the promotion or if the Europeans thought the same way.

That means Christmas is basically another important holiday for couples.

Even though it was only the beginning of December, Xu Qi could see many Christmas trees being placed in front of shops, starting their promotional efforts with great fanfare.

The same applies to ETStudio.

Because there are many external employees in the company, the Christmas atmosphere is more pronounced.

The Christmas tree was decorated with colorful lights and bells, and they even had a large Santa Claus doll.

The Idolmaster Studio next door has also released special Christmas costumes.

Xu Qi was even a little tempted. After all, he really hadn't expected that a girl dressed like Santa Claus could look so...sexy?

"Is Manager Xu interested?"

Xu Qi turned her head and saw Minister Qian from the Publicity Department standing beside her with a cup of coffee.

"Indeed...who designed these clothes?"

"She is the animation director of The Idolmaster Studio. She studied in Paris before and specializes in costume design. She also designed this Christmas special costume."

Oh right, there will also be figurines coming soon, and we'll update that information on the official website.

Xu Qi's expression instantly turned serious!

"Ministry of Finance."

"Ok?"

"Are there any internal channels?"

"..." Qian Chen took a sip of coffee, thinking to himself—Manager Xu really does have the heart of a young man...

"Manager Xu, haven't you ever considered that you yourself are an internal channel?"

"what?"

"For such a small matter, you can just tell President Bronya."

Xu Qi clenched his fist, his expression somber.

"No... absolutely not."

"what?"

"Didn't The Idolmaster promote the U149 project before? I happened to see it, and I just said one thing—Momoka's mom is so cute~~ and Bronya stared at me with a look like I was a pervert for a week."

Qian Chen twitched the corner of his mouth at the crowdfunding group 456127940—if he remembered correctly, Sakurai Momoka should only be 12 years old in the project…

"The president did the right thing..."

"What do you know? Momoka is a woman who could be my mother! (From 'Alahato: Otto's Counterattack')"

"Stop tarnishing the commander-in-chief's image..."

Qian Chen let out a long sigh.

"Okay, I got it. As soon as the manufacturer has any news, I'll get one for you. Whose do you want?"

"Kisaragi Chihaya".

In some ways, Xu Qi's XP is actually quite easy to understand—an intellectual and gentle young woman.

"But speaking of which, what are Manager Xu's plans for Christmas?" Qian Chen asked with a playful smile. "As far as I know, Manager Xu has quite a few female friends."

Xu Qi smiled wryly—just thinking about it gave him a headache.

"I don't know... To be honest, Christmas is supposed to be a celebration of Jesus' birth, so how did it become a way for couples to create a romantic atmosphere?"

Qian Chen couldn't understand it either. As a married man, his Christmas was much easier.

But speaking of... birthday?

Back at the Golden Courtyard that evening, after dinner, Xu Qi took the initiative to find Möbius and went to the underground factory.

"I usually have to call you. What's wrong? Is something on your mind today?"

"I want to find Kiana."

Möbius understood, took the elevator to drop Xu Qi off at the bottom, and then left.

"Aren't you going to stay with me?"

"I don't want to see you flirting with girls. Remember to come find me tonight."

Xu Qi scratched his head awkwardly, kissed Mebius on the forehead, and watched him leave.

Speaking of which, the underground factory space is quite extravagant, and Kiana... aside from the times she goes out to test things in Haivi, she spends most of her time in this factory.

To be precise, it remained inside a Klein machine.

When Xu Qi found her, he discovered she was sleeping in front of the monitoring station.

Xu Qi stepped forward and playfully tapped her tin head.

"Ugh! Who is it? What do you want?!"

The mechanical brain turned around and saw Xu Qi's mocking face.

"Xu Qi!? You actually came to see me!"
