We moved to Golden Courtyard

The problem is that you still can't figure out whether this move was the young man's own initiative or instructed by the company's senior management.

The impression Xu Qi gave Xu Houde was that of a mad dog!

So they were thwarted in their mission to ET, failing to even meet anyone and returning empty-handed.

Xu Qi can forcefully keep people out, but Xu Houde wouldn't dare forcefully let anyone rush in! Because he doesn't represent Tencent.

If this farce escalates too much, it's not impossible that Xu Qi himself will get involved.

He was even taking off his clothes just now!

His explosively muscular physique not only terrified the people from TX, but also attracted a large number of female employees from ET to watch.

He's a madman... he's a madman!

But... if you can keep us out, can you also block the signal out?

So he sent Delta a message.

"If your supervisor continues to be so inflexible and won't even let us talk, then we'll have to cancel our contract."

Most fortresses are breached from within—this is an eternal truth.

So after the farce, Xu Qi received Delta's resignation letter in his office.

"I originally thought we could delay it for a few more days."

"The news of my resignation has already spread throughout the company..."

Delta took a deep breath.

"Stop it, Xu Qi. Don't let my actions affect the production of Alahatto."

Do you know what everyone calls you now?

Delta remained silent.

"They say you're a deserter—are you really planning to slink out of ET like this?"

Xu Qi picked up the resignation letter and tore it up in front of Delta.

"Your employment contract has two years left before it expires. We will continue to pay you your salary, even if you don't come to work."

Xu Qi stood up and walked to Delta.

At this moment, he withdrew his claws and fangs, yet acted...like a demon.

“But I won’t let you go to TX. I don’t know what they promised you, but if you go to TX, I will sue you, make it impossible for you to work, and make sure that the terms TX gave you are never valid.”

Delta's expression instantly turned ferocious!

She grabbed Xu Qi by the collar and demanded, almost roaring, "Why?! Why did you do this to me?!"

The office door was open, so someone immediately heard the noise and rushed over.

Delta pushed Xu Qi and shoved him against the desk, causing a large number of documents to spill onto the floor.

"Xu Qi! You're a scoundrel! You bastard! Why...why won't you let me go!"

Outside the door, Ellie tried to stop them with some concern, but Rita stopped her. Seeing this, the other employees didn't dare to come in and stop them, and a few quick-witted ones immediately rushed out to find President Bronya.

"Say something!"

Tell me your terms.

"!"

Delta's breath hitched.

"What conditions did they offer you..." Xu Qi slowly reached out and placed his hand on Delta's hands, which were gripping his collar, and slowly tightened his grip.

“Tell me… what conditions did they offer you that forced you to leave ET? What made you so emotional all of a sudden? Say something, Delta!”

Delta felt a sudden difficulty breathing, and what surprised her even more was that Xu Qi, who was yelling at her, did not have anger in his eyes.

Instead, it was sorrow...

Crystalline tears welled up in the eyes of this strong-willed man. He was... feeling pain for himself.

Delta tried to lower his head, but as soon as he looked away, Xu Qi roared.

"Look at me! Delta! Look into my eyes! Tell me... what's wrong with you!... I'll help you solve it, okay?"

Towards the end, there was even a hint of pleading in his words.

Delta finally couldn't take it anymore. She clenched her teeth, and just like Xu Qi, tears streamed down her cheeks and dripped onto the floor.

“Tell me, Delta…tell me your true thoughts! Do you really…want to leave E.T., to leave this home!?”

A deafening sound rang in Delta's ears.

This forever handsome and forever strong production manager, for the first time... revealed her vulnerable side.

She knelt before Xu Qi, her upturned face filled with tears, pain, and pleading.

"I think... of course I want to stay here! Xu Qi! I don't want to leave everyone! I want... to see Alahat rise again!"

The most touching thing in the world is nothing more than true feelings.

Everyone who witnessed this scene couldn't help but have tears well up in their eyes, and even the emotionally sensitive Ellie leaned on Rita's shoulder, choking back sobs.

Xu Qi suppressed the urge to cry, pulled Delta up, and hugged her tightly.

"You should have said so earlier, you stubborn, shorty... I'll help you... Of course I'll help you! We're all in this together, what problem can't we solve, you idiot!!"

When Bronya and Walter arrived, this was exactly what they saw.

The two smiled at each other, and couldn't help but see the emotion in each other's eyes.

“You are right, Bronya.”

Walter said slowly, "Xu Qi does indeed possess a magic that others don't have. Right now, he seems to be shining."

"Judging from your composed demeanor, Chairman, do you know the terms TX offered?"

"Haha." Walter laughed heartily a few times.

"If Delta had just told Xu Qi about her difficulties earlier, would all this have happened? After all, what she asked for was nothing to Xu Qi, or rather, to the Golden Courtyard..."

Bronya shrugged noncommittally.

"Then you won't be able to see this touching scene, Chairman."

Walter pushed up his glasses and smiled, a rare sight for him.

"indeed."

631. Would you like to try begging me, Miss Delta?

After the crowd dispersed, Xu Qi closed the office door again.

Delta seemed to still be unable to calm herself down. Sitting on the sofa, her shoulders were trembling, as if she were slightly choked up.

"All right……"

Xu Qi took a handkerchief out of his clothes and handed it over.

"Don't cry, let me wipe it off."

"..."

She snatched the handkerchief away fiercely, using it not only to wipe her tears but also to blow her nose.

Xu Qi originally wanted to get the handkerchief back... but decided against it.

"What a traditional man, he even carries a handkerchief with him when he goes out."

“This has nothing to do with whether it’s traditional or not. Haven’t you seen it?” Xu Qi poured Delta a glass of water and handed it to her, saying with a smile, “It’s a classic scene from ‘The Intern’.”

Men prepare handkerchiefs so that they can hand them to girls when they cry.

"whispering sound!"

Delta wrapped the handkerchief up and put it away, her face full of disdain.

"You've used this trick to fool a lot of girls, haven't you?"

"I'm sorry, the success rate is still zero. Before, it was because Mei was on guard, but later... more and more girls started to take precautions for me."

Delta's smile, though broken by tears, was nothing more than a gloating one.

Seeing that the other person seemed to be in a good mood, Xu Qi asked, "Well... let's get down to business. Which hospital is your sister in now?"

Delta's eyes widened.

"You!...You even knew this!? I specifically told Bronya..."

“It wasn’t her who said that,” Xu Qi said, leaning against his desk. He was now increasingly understanding why his father had liked smoking when he was young.

Relieving stress also empties your mind.

But he wouldn't. He has too many girlfriends, and if he dared to smoke, they would definitely gang up on him and beat him up... That's a bit scary.

"I asked a friend of mine to do some research, and that's how I found out. And in the contract that TX was going to offer you, I also clearly found a key word—'quota'."

Should I tell you all of this one by one, or are you going to tell me yourself?

……

“I’m not telling you these things because I don’t intend for you to do any futile work for me. My sister, Lilia—the one with the blue hair.”

Xu Qi remembered that she had encountered it when she went to the haunted house last time.

"She was diagnosed with ALS last year."

Delta spoke quietly, while Xu Qi leaned against the table, listening attentively.

"She was so young... I took her out of the orphanage when she was only 10! I swore then... I would be a good older sister, I would..."

Take good care of them! This is my responsibility, my mission.

Xu Qi remembered the two girls, one named Rosalia and the other named Lilia.

The pink-haired one is naturally active, while the blue-haired one, although seemingly quiet, is actually... quite playful.

They are all very cute girls...

"Perhaps this is God's punishment for me... For a person who is all alone to want a family, it is punishment—I have to pay a price for it."

Xu Qi pursed her lips.

"If it's a matter of money, I'm willing to shamelessly kneel down and beg you for Lilia and the others' sake, or I could ask Bronya to lend me some money."

But that's ALS... The doctor told me that no one can cure this disease; it's incurable... But she's just a child! Why would a child get this disease...?"

Delta clenched her fists and braced them on her thighs, tears welling up once again.

Whenever this topic comes up, she can't control her emotions.

Perhaps for Delta, her two younger sisters were more important than her own life...

"Later I heard that... in the UK, there is a chance that this disease can be cured. They are conducting an experiment on motor neurons and are currently lacking volunteers."

ALS patients all over the world hope to become volunteers for that team, even if the experiment fails and they die. After all... having this disease means you're going to die anyway.

It's obvious without even thinking that someone like me can't get that spot, but..."

Xu Qi picked up where Delta left off, saying, "People from TX came up to you and told you they could help you get a spot, right?"

Delta nodded silently.

"They are the major shareholders behind that team, and pricing volunteers is just a matter of a word. The condition is that they leave the company when Alahatto is released in April."

You could have guessed it...

The anime is about to be released, but the production manager has run away.

The studio team will definitely experience a period of chaos, and external publicity will also have a significant negative impact on the animation.

They really went to great lengths to target the Alahato IP—those bastards from Tencent.

"I'm sorry, Xu Qi, I really... don't want to leave here. With you here, it's the first time I've felt that everyone in the animation industry can get along like a family."

I love this atmosphere, but... that's my sister! Even if there's only a sliver of hope, I must fight for her!
