We moved to Golden Courtyard

At the same time, there was also a new personnel appointment.

In Bronya's office, Xu Qiyi said sternly, "Yaya, I'm the supervisor now, and also the scriptwriter and screenwriter for Alahato. The workload is huge, and I can't handle it all by myself..."

"so?"

Bronya leaned back in her chair, her arms crossed over her chest, revealing a surprisingly full figure beneath her coat, her posture exuding extreme ease and comfort.

She was ready to listen to what nonsense her little man had to spout.

"I might need someone to help me with some of the daily writing work and share some of the scripting work."

Bronya understood; they had come to ask her for people back.

"Within the company, or in the industry, if you see a young screenwriter you like, tell me you can offer him an apprenticeship contract so he can work under you."

But seriously, are you dissatisfied with Rita's abilities? That can't be... While I do have issues with that woman, her work skills are undeniable.

“Ah! Of course not! Rita is great, but…” Xu Qi scratched his head, “There’s someone who really wants to be my disciple, so there’s no way around it.”

"Oh~~"

So it turns out they weren't asking for people from me, but rather trying to squeeze someone in...

Bronya could still accept this level of nepotism.

She wasn't rigid; she just needed to give Xu Qi a gentle reminder later to make him understand the proper boundaries. Although she trusted Xu Qi, this preventative reminder was still necessary.

"Speak, who is it?"

"Alicia".

Bronya: ? ? ?

Seeing the director's confused expression, Xu Qi couldn't help but scratch his head, recalling the scene a few days ago when Alicia mentioned this matter to him.

······

"Xu Qi! I want to become your apprentice!"

Xu Qi blinked—was this some kind of fun game that Ai Li had come up with?

"I'm serious!"

Xu Qi hesitated for a moment, then said uncertainly, "What you don't want to say is that thing you mentioned to me before... wanting to write a book..."

“That’s right!” Alicia’s expression was more serious than ever before.

"I tried it...and found I couldn't write anything!"

So you didn't have any basic knowledge at all?!

Xu Qi clutched his forehead in anguish and said, "Are you out of ideas, or are you at a loss for words?"

Ellie tapped her lips with her index finger, tilted her head back as if thinking, and said, "Actually, I have a lot of ideas... but when it comes to putting them into words, I have absolutely no idea how to write them down."

Don't try to act cute at a time like this!

Xu Qi let out a long sigh.

But speaking of words, they are indeed his forte...

Xu Qi was quite pleased that Ellie thought of him first after she developed a dream of writing a book. After all, he was both the screenwriter and the scriptwriter.

Many people may wonder – what is the difference between these two professions?

The difference lies in this: the screenwriter is responsible for providing the story's outline and ideas, while the scriptwriter is responsible for putting these elements into dialogue or scene descriptions.

Xu Qi happens to excel at both.

He held up one finger, his serious and earnest expression making Ellie hold her breath.

"It is perfectly normal for a person who has never been exposed to writing before to suddenly have the idea of ​​writing but find that they don't know where to start."

But ideas are just ideas; how they are put into words is another matter entirely.

I don't deny that some people are born with a talent for writing; such geniuses do exist. But what about the majority of us, ordinary people like you and me?

My advice is only three things: read more, think more, and write more.

Ellie took out her notebook and started taking notes halfway through the conversation.

"Understood, Master!"

Huh? When did I acknowledge you as my apprentice? Never mind... Xu Qi starts talking non-stop when it comes to writing.

"As for so-called writing techniques and emotional expression—people who can't even master words themselves are not qualified to talk about these things."

Because this is the basic skill, the basic skill of writing, the basic skill of description! There is no shortcut to developing the basic skills; you can only read more, think more, and put what you have learned into writing.

People are like ink bottles. If writing is like pouring ink out of an ink bottle, then the source of that ink is the amount of reading you accumulate over time.

Do you understand?

It was as if stars were shining in Ellie's eyes!

"Oh? I understand, Master!"

When Mei passed by and saw this scene, she couldn't help but pat Sakura on the shoulder and ask, "What are they doing?"

"do not know."

Sakura glanced over and heard things like, "Master, you're amazing! Tell me more! Tell me more! Fill Airi's stomach with knowledge!" and "Hmph! ~~I still have so much to teach you~~"

Then he realized, "They're probably talking about what kind of play they want to do tonight. Ellie really spoils him; she's willing to do anything."

Meiyi:? ? ?

Is that really... true?

Seeing Alicia still shouting and cheering around Xu Qi, looking like a little fangirl full of admiration, and Xu Qi looking quite pleased with himself, with a satisfied look on his face as a teacher.

Mei couldn't help but worry—is this really okay?

······

"So... I plan to keep her with me, both to train her and to help me out."

Bronya's mouth was slightly open, her eyes blinking rapidly. After listening, she couldn't help but pick up her water glass and take a sip of tea—though it felt rather absurd...

But for some reason, I just wanted to help them out and let them give it a try.

"Hmm...it's possible, but Seed is ultimately..."

“It’s okay. She’ll only do some auxiliary scripting work and some routine reporting. Rita and I will review all the text she writes.”

Actually, it's mainly Xu Qi who's in charge of the quality control.

"Okay, as long as you don't mind being tired..."

Bronya wore a strange expression, as if she wanted to laugh but didn't know where to begin. Honestly, hearing about it was inexplicably...hilarious.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing how far you'll train Miss Alicia."

Xu Qi chuckled softly, then revealed a helpless expression.

"Then you should look forward to it, Director Bronya."

606. Ai Li, the only person you need to contact is Xu Qi.

So, after the New Year, Xu Qi's office had another woman besides Rita.

"Wow! Xu Qi, is this your office? It's so big..."

Xu Qi pointed outside and said, "From now on, you'll sit next to Rita in your office. Read more books when you have free time, and I'll let you know if there's anything I need you to write."

Rita couldn't help but laugh.

What do you mean by "read more books when you have nothing to do"? ... How can you be so blatantly slacking off at work?

"Yes, Master!"

After saying that, Airi bowed to Rita again and said, "Please take care of me from now on, Rita-senpai!"

From a professional standpoint, Rita is indeed Alicia's senior.

"Rita, today is her first day at work, so please mentor her."

"Yes, sir."

Ellie took a deep breath—Going to work...it feels so different!

After all, Ellie had always worked in the self-media industry, chatting with people via live stream and intentionally or unintentionally creating some program effects.

It offers a great deal of freedom!

But things are different now... This is a proper job.

However, Rita felt there was still a gap.

After all, her boss is her boyfriend, so he doesn't usually assign her a lot of work. In fact, he might even be the one slacking off the most.

Although the pay was at the apprentice level, the job was far too easy.

Or perhaps... for Alicia, the focus is still on experiencing life.

Just as she was thinking this, Ellie suddenly pulled out some small bags from Xu Qi's desk drawer, which contained things that looked like those round rubber candies.

"What is this?... Ah!... This is an escape..."

Then Ai Li was pushed out by Xu Qi with a gloomy face.

"Go sit down in the seat next to Rita. Don't rummage through my things. There's nothing for you to do right now, so you can go read some books yourself."

"Okay, okay? Hehe?"

Xu Qi closed the door and gently shook her head.

Seeing this, Rita sighed even more – he really wasn't here to work...

This is the boss's office... but Alicia just ransacked it without a second thought, very casually.

It's fair to say that this is similar to Alysia becoming Xu Qi's apprentice; the playful aspect is probably more prominent. So, when Alysia goes to work later, just make sure she doesn't feel bored.

But Xu Qi said something else.

"Don't spoil her too much. She should behave like a professional at work. Ellie is just disrespectful to me, but that doesn't mean she doesn't understand the proper boundaries, so it's okay."

"I understand."

That being said, it would still be quite difficult for Rita to actually take charge of her.

Moreover, before, Ai Li often came over to bring Xu Qi lunch.

Everyone at Seed Studio knows that Manager Xu has a pink-haired, very cute girlfriend. Forget about getting her to work, when she's not at work, everyone just fawns over her.

after all……

Who wouldn't want to hitch a ride on Xu Qi's coattails?

This is clearly a favorite of the leader.

So when Rita returned to her desk, she wasn't surprised to see Ellie openly reading a book at her workstation.

After a moment's thought, she found a stack of office documents and used them to block Alicia's side.

"Ok?"

"Although your job doesn't involve much work, sometimes it's best to be mindful of the impact and avoid being seen by others, as it's not good for either you or Xu Qi."

Ellie immediately understood and nodded.

Rita felt she should introduce the studio to Ellie, so she waved to the lovely girl, signaling her to come closer.

"What's wrong?"

"Alice, let me briefly introduce you to our Seed Studio."

"Oh? Okay, okay?~~"

Regardless, having a girl like that sitting next to you would make you feel happy even if you weren't working.

If even Rita thinks so, the young men and women in the office must be even more shocked.

From the moment she started, Rita could feel some subtle glances directed at her, and then she began her work with great enthusiasm.

But Rita is clearly a great beauty, isn't she?
