We moved to Golden Courtyard

"Sir, you can just listen in this time. If you have any questions, Delta and I will answer them."

"Hmm?~~" Alicia waved the small notebook in her hand, "I'll take meeting minutes too, okay?"

Seeing the three of them looking confident, Xu Qi smiled and made a gesture to wait for good news.

"Then today, I'll watch your performance."

······

The four of them arrived at the conference room on the top floor of ET. They felt quite nostalgic, since it was there that Xu Qi forced out the former third director's weakness and subsequently brought him down.

Today, the moment Xu Qi stepped into the conference room, he keenly sensed the tension in the air.

Seemingly sensing Xu Qi's concerns, Rita stepped forward and whispered in his ear, "It's alright, sir, everything is ready."

685. My posture is already quite cooperative.

Upon hearing the maid's words, Xu Qi felt instantly at ease.

He was in the same spot as Bronya.

Although he wasn't even on the company's board of directors, everyone knew who Bronya's top lieutenant was, and that factor was naturally taken into account when assigning seats.

Rita stood behind Xu Qi.

"Finally here?" Bronya said with a mocking expression, while Xu Qi shrugged helplessly. "Why is that the first thing everyone says to me?"

"It's one thing if others don't understand, but President Bronya, you must know what's wrong with me, right? And the first thing you do after recovering is hold a meeting?"

"It's just a quarterly meeting, and Seed has already aired two episodes, so holding a big meeting at this time is quite normal. Besides, you probably don't even know that..."

Xu Qi squinted.

"So what should I know?"

"During the previous small meeting, someone took advantage of your absence to point the finger at Seed Studio's improper behavior some time ago. Do you want to guess what it was?"

So Rita is referring to this, right...?

Whenever he enters a working state, Xu Qi's sense of smell becomes as exaggerated as his mental power, to an alarming degree.

"Delta..."

“That’s right.” Bronya put away her playful expression and said seriously, “Although we successfully kept Delta, that was in relation to TX.”

But do you remember? In order to keep Delta, we first offered Delta a salary increase contract that did not comply with regulations, and then we temporarily allocated emergency funds.

We advanced the breach of contract compensation to Delta and TX.

Xu Qi naturally remembered these things, after all, he was the one who suggested Bronya do most of these things.

"Has something gone wrong?"

"That's right. I've focused too much of my energy on animation, and naturally, I'm not as sharp as I used to be at the administrative level of the company, so I've neglected some things."

Xu Qi glanced at Bronya almost imperceptibly.

You... were negligent?

“Some people are using this to attack Seed Studio and Delta, but these are just superficial things.”

"Actually, the target is still you, after all, you are the one who actually makes the final decisions on these plans."

Bronya gave Xu Qi an approving look—she had to admit, he got into character very quickly.

Xu Qi glanced sideways at Bronya, his expression somewhat enigmatic.

He first took a look at what our CEO was wearing today.

Beneath the blue jacket was a white turtleneck shirt, and black leggings clung tightly to her firm, shapely thighs, making her look extremely alluring.

Of course, what's most tempting to Xu Qi is his large penis, which is hard to hide under his clothes.

what……

We'll talk about it when we get back to the office.

Xu Qi leaned back, gesturing for Rita to come closer.

"who is it?"

The maid, however, reacted instantly to the seemingly random question and replied, "Manager Ye from the Human Resources Department, she was also a subordinate of that former third director."

Ok?

Xu Qi looked across and saw a woman of exceptional beauty walking gracefully towards him before taking her seat.

At this moment, she looked at him with a smile, showing absolutely no sign of danger.

personnel……

With the arrival of the company's executive directors and Walter, the quarterly meeting officially began.

The first step is to summarize the work of the previous quarter, including what each department did, what benefits they achieved, and what kind of support they need from the company.

These are things Walter needs to know.

Xu Qi was absent for three or four days, and had been dealing with TX's poaching attempts, so he was naturally unprepared for this quarterly meeting.

Fortunately... Rita gave him a manuscript and prepared a PowerPoint presentation.

Just read it as above.

Having a smart and capable secretary makes life so easy.

Furthermore, Xu Qi doesn't need to report many things to Walter; he can just go directly to Bronya. So, for him, if it weren't for respecting this meeting...

He could have just gone to sleep.

Unfortunately, as the youngest person among those attending the meeting, he was bound to receive more attention, so... at least he had to put on a show.

"So, Manager Ye, is there anything you'd like to discuss next?"

Xu Qi looked up sharply, and sure enough—the HR manager had just stood up when his handsome eyes looked directly at Xu Qi.

"They've come with ill intentions..."

"Sir, we are the ones who have come."

Xu Qi had a feeling that this conversation might have already happened once before.

"Dear Chairman Walter and President Bronya, before I report on the department's work last quarter, may I allow you to address some matters that were not discussed in previous meetings..."

Let's put it back and explain it again.

Walter and Bronya frowned simultaneously.

At this moment, Manager Ye was like a hunting dog baring its fangs, but his gaze was not on Xu Qi, but on Rita behind Xu Qi.

I see... So you took advantage of my absence to beat up Rita, the acting manager, right?

However, since Rita said she was ready, then we'll leave it to her.

Walter took a deep breath.

"Go ahead and tell me."

"Thank you... Manager Xu. Although I have discussed this issue with Ms. Rita many times before, I think this is probably the first time you have encountered it."

Xu Qi was taken aback—was he planning to take advantage of his recent return and break through through him?

"about……"

"If it's a Delta issue, then there's no need to discuss it."

……

The atmosphere in the meeting room was rather somber.

No one expected that Xu Qi would be the first to speak, interrupting the HR manager's speech.

“I’ve heard some things. If you want my opinion, well—this is an internal matter for our department and has nothing to do with you. Please have a seat.”

……

Qian Chen grinned and laughed silently—Xu Qi is as arrogant as ever.

Is it because Bronya is behind them?

It's probably more than that... I'm afraid this toughness and arrogance are something he was born with.

"However, although I don't want to hear it, our department's general affairs officer, Ms. Rita, is a kind person. Since you've been coordinating with her on this matter, I think..."

There should be a beginning and an end, so please continue.

In just a few words, he put himself in a very high position. Manager Ye must be furious right now.

Manager Ye's face instantly darkened.

Although she knew Xu Qi wasn't easy to deal with, she really hadn't expected him to be this disgusting.

"Alright, since Supervisor Xu isn't cooperating..."

"Wait a minute," Xu Qi interjected again, "It's not that I'm uncooperative, on the contrary, I'm very cooperative. Otherwise... you wouldn't even have the chance to connect with Rita's general affairs department. Please be aware of this."

686. So, it's fine to leave it to Rita.

Now Manager Ye finally understands where the widely circulated nickname "Mad Dog Xu" came from.

It wasn't just because the other party and the "hunting dog" got into a fight.

More importantly... this guy is a complete mad dog!

It's quite rare to see this kind of unforgiving style in the company.

Manager Ye chose to swallow his anger—if he were to get provoked by Xu Qi here and continue arguing with him, it would not help him achieve what he wanted to do.

Sure enough, I still had to find that general affairs lady.

“Miss Rita, I'm sure you're all well aware from the previous meetings that you've acted in far too many ways that are not in accordance with regulations in the matter that has happened to Miss Delta.”

I don't know who's backing you up behind this, but... both the payment of the breach of contract penalty and that completely non-compliant salary contract seem a bit inappropriate...

Most importantly, we, as the company's human resources department, were completely unaware of this matter. Could there have been some procedural problem?

So that's exactly what it was about...

Xu Qi took a sip of water.

He didn't intend to refute it, after all, Rita had said—leave it to her.

"Manager Ye, TX's [Hound] has approached Director Delta, who is quite important to our Seed Studio, and intends to poach him."

Your HR department was completely unaware of this matter. Shouldn't that be your fault? If an outsider could easily bypass our company's HR department and transfer my contract, that would be a serious problem.

"Manager Ye, then I have nothing to say."

"So you created this non-compliant salary contract and subsequently misappropriated company funds to pay breach of contract damages? Who gave you that right?!"

Are you going to keep fixating on these two points?

Xu Qi squinted.

In this game, he actually has more to see.

Who is supporting Manager Ye? After all, this is clearly aimed at Bronya; it's a factional struggle.

Could it be Walter?

No, that doesn't make sense.

So, with no third board member left, who has the power and confidence to open fire on Bronya? Do they want to die even faster?

Since that's the case, Rita, there's no point in arguing with her about who's right and who's wrong. What you should really be doing now is...

"All we've done is clean up the mess for your HR department. When facing the Hounds, Seed Studios didn't receive the slightest help whatsoever."

"Manager Ye, you are free to continue accusing us of wrongdoing, but I hope you can stop this futile effort. After all, I trust Chairman Walter to be able to distinguish right from wrong."

That's right, that's how we dragged Walter into this mess.
