We moved to Golden Courtyard

Seeing that Bronya was still immersed in that excitement and couldn't extricate herself, Xu Qi could only make the announcement on her behalf.

"Don't rush off, everyone. The logistics department has prepared plenty of buffet food. Don't worry, this isn't a communal meal, but real gourmet food!"

Cheers erupted again, but this wasn't the end of it.

When Xu Qi announced that all employees of Seed Studio would receive triple performance-based pay this month, the entire room erupted in cheers!

If it weren't for the fact that Xu Qi was still holding the company president in his arms, some bold young girls probably wouldn't have been able to resist rushing up and giving Xu Qi a hug and kiss!

At least Liu Qi had this plan—damn Bronya, she ruined her big plan!

Tonight is undoubtedly a night of revelry.

In order to ensure that the employees could have fun, Xu Qi took Bronya and Delta and left early. It's always a bit awkward to have the leaders around.

When Xu Qi left, everyone in the Golden Courtyard naturally followed him.

However, Kevin, Sue, and Qianjie chose to stay.

They said the atmosphere here was pretty good and they planned to stay a little longer.

Xu Qi certainly had no objections—as long as they had fun.

Kosmo also left, but... he didn't go with the others, saying he had promised Desdobia that they would go on a date tonight, and he couldn't go back on his word.

Xu Qi nodded in realization, and before leaving, he patted Kosmo on the shoulder and said, "What Shanghai has in abundance is convenience stores that are open 24 hours a day. Be sure to take precautions."

"?"

Kosmo hadn't reacted yet, but Miss Desdobia, who was standing next to him, seemed to have a more lewd mind. She immediately blushed, glared at Xu Qi, and pulled Kosmo away.

"Tsk tsk tsk~~ Rare indeed? It's quite a novelty to see you being disliked by a girl."

On the street outside the company, Xu Qi squinted at Mei, who had come close to him, and pouted.

"What do you take me for? Miss Mei? Go back, you'll regret it later."

"That won't work."

Mei put her hands behind her back and said playfully.

"There are still activities later."

"Activity?"

Xu Qi was taken aback, then saw the girls in the courtyard looking at him with smiles, as if they had known all along.

Xu Qi's face turned pale, and he was about to run away! Suddenly he realized that Greta and the others were also there... He breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they weren't going to... gang rape him.

Mei and Sakura exchanged knowing glances—Phase one of the plans was accomplished!

What activity?

"Of course it was prepared especially for you? You and Bronya are considerate of your subordinates and won't attend the victory celebration, but we can't be left out! We specially discussed it with Sister Eden and booked a Golden Hotel nearby."

"You booked it?"

Mei looked embarrassed.

"Originally, I just thought that I would only need a small space, but I didn't expect Sister Eden to take the initiative and leave the entire hotel closed for the whole night, just so that we could have fun inside."

Xu Qi scratched his head—all I can say is... she truly lives up to her title as Sister Eden...

but……

Xu Qi shook his head—since Sister Eden said she wanted some peace and quiet, he wouldn't bother her for the time being. As for him… he had been busy with the premiere of Alahat for so long, and he also needed to relax a little.

"Alright! Let's go then!"

"Oh!!"

······

Inside the car, Eden looked at the scenery rushing past the window and suddenly said, "Anna, do you think... I wasn't decisive enough in the matter of Xu Qi?"

Anna's eyes flickered slightly in the driver's seat.

She knew that something must have happened between the young master and the boss again tonight...

"Young Master often says that you should do what you love—if the boss is still hesitating right now, it must be because he has some feelings that are hard to let go of."

What is the art of speaking?

Eden was indeed in a great mood after hearing this.

She chuckled softly, "What kind of feelings are so hard to let go of? I just... don't want to lose a younger brother so soon."

649. Don't tell Rita!

It wasn't until they arrived at the hotel that Xu Qi learned what kind of celebration Mei and the others had prepared for him—a tango dance party…

Xu Qi covered her face.

"Who came up with these bizarre ideas?"

Mei proudly put her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest.

Xu Qi took a deep breath.

"Where's my boyfriend? It seems like I'm the only one here..."

“That’s not necessarily true, sir.” Rita smiled and spread her hands to the side. “For example… Miss Fu Hua has been looking forward to this ball for a long time.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Hua appeared to have changed into a white men's suit!

Xu Qi immediately held his breath—you must be kidding...this is too handsome!

Pushing up her glasses, Fu Hua gave Xu Qi a provocative look.

"Don't be sad if I steal your dance partner later, brother."

Hiss!

"Then there's only one..."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm late."

The hotel lobby door opened, and this time, it was Ms. Mei, dressed in a black women's suit, who walked into the lobby with a confident stride.

The clothes were clearly tailor-made, fitting the other person's graceful figure. They looked very handsome, but... why were they inexplicably charming and alluring?

One has to admire that Xu Qi's girlfriends are indeed diverse in appearance, each with their own unique charm.

They're both wearing suits, but Fu Hua and Mei look completely different in them.

Xu Qi reached out and wrapped his arm around Mei's slender waist, pulling her into his embrace—this outfit was clearly overly conservative, yet it made her look... even more erotic.

What are you doing here?

Before Mei could even answer, Mei had already snatched Mei from her arms.

She said playfully, "What are you doing? She's the dance partner I invited today, you're not allowed to take her away!"

Xu Qi's smile was enigmatic.

Okay, okay... your dance partner? I'll eat you and your dance partner together later.

If that's the case, then it's easy to guess.

"Sister Ying, you're going to dance the male role later, right?"

Sakura hesitated for a moment, then leaned close to Xu Qi's ear.

"If you want, I can also dance the female role."

"Sakura! You're cheating! We already agreed on this!"

"Hahahaha!"

We took the elevator to the large dance floor on the top floor with the girls. The melodious classical music was being played softly through an antique gramophone.

The magnificent hall didn't exude an air of extravagance; the sound of flowing water added a touch of elegance.

As expected of the Gold Group...

"Wait here for a bit, we're going to change our clothes—don't peek!"

"Don't worry, don't worry."

To Xu Qi's surprise, the cat also came to participate in the event, and seemed quite happy. It's unknown whether it will be dressed as a man or a woman later.

Sitting on the sofa by the dance floor, Xu Qi slowly closed his eyes and began to think about who he would dance with next.

I've considered many possibilities. Someone like Nia probably can't dance male roles, right? That means she can only dance female roles. Eden isn't here tonight, hmm…

It seems no one will ask Sister Nia to go with them, so I guess I'll have to take on the responsibility?

When the time comes, you'll get bumped or rubbed against...

No, no, that kind of thinking is way too outrageous—yes! Outrageous!

But I'm still really looking forward to it... It would be so much fun to dance a tango with Nia! Maybe Nia won't know how to dance and I'll have to teach her myself.

Or perhaps you could do what Rita did and pretend to be a beginner to fool her! Come on...

"What are you thinking about that makes you laugh like that?"

"Huh? Uh...no...uh?"

Xu Qi was taken aback.

He had anticipated the possibility that many people would change their clothes in advance and come looking for him, and he also anticipated that some of the girls would dress up as men and play male roles.

But what he never expected was... that it would be Durandal, dressed in an elegant white evening gown, slowly walking up to him.

"Durandal?"

"What? You look surprised. Did you not expect me to be here, or... did you not expect me to wear a skirt?"

As she spoke, she even imitated the mannerisms of Europeans—oh, she was originally European.

She pulled her skirt open, completing a court etiquette routine with perfect precision and elegance.

"Greetings, Mr. Xu Qi."

Xu Qi stood up, took the initiative to hold Yulandel's right hand, which was covered by a white glove, knelt down on one knee, and gently kissed it—"Hello, beautiful lady."

You asked me why I was surprised? Perhaps it's because... I didn't expect you to look so beautiful today. It's so overwhelming that I find it hard to contain my emotions...

May I invite you to dance?

"Of course, Mr. Xu Qi."

Standing up, the two exchanged a glance, neither choosing to go to the center of the dance floor, but instead burst into laughter, completely abandoning their previous affected aristocratic demeanor.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable—a beautiful lady? You? I'm amazed you can even say that."

Xu Qi shrugged.

"The atmosphere has gotten to this point, I can't just not cooperate, can I?"

As he spoke, he naturally put his arm around Durandal's waist and then stroked her back. Xu Qi said casually, "I really didn't expect you to choose to dance the female role..."

"That's good, though. You look beautiful today, Durandal. I really want to invite you to dance."

Just like everyone else chatting freely online, Durandal didn't expect that this guy would be so casual in real life.

and……

Feeling the touch on her back, Durandal finally understood why Rita had told her to be careful... This guy is really proactive and bold. Does he really know that she is Rita's best friend?

wrong……

Rather, I don't actually have many thoughts on this.

That innate sense of closeness might be working on both of them simultaneously, allowing them to act so intimately without any psychological burden...

Why specifically Xu Qi?

Xu Qi also had the same question—why? Why Durandal of all people? And this feeling is quite familiar... Kiana.

But Xu Qi quickly put these doubts aside. When interacting with the other person, there was no need to think so much. Since his heart told him that he and Durandal could be infinitely casual and trusting, then so be it.

As the music started, the dance began, with Durandal placing her hand on Xu Qi's shoulder, while Xu Qi also put his arm around Durandal's slender waist.
