We moved to Golden Courtyard

Xu Qi glanced helplessly at Mei—she could already foresee how much Mei would spoil her when she had a child.

"Alright, go back to sleep now. Write a self-criticism tomorrow and bring it to me. I don't want it to be a perfunctory one. Can you do that?"

"Um……"

Xu Qi finally showed a slight smile.

He gently patted Gretchen's head.

"I will attend the parent-teacher conference, so you don't need to worry about that."

"Um... thank you, Brother Xu Qi."

Xu Qi gave Mei a look, signaling her to help take the child back to the house.

After the two left, he looked at Ellie and said with a hint of helplessness, "Well, that's it. My sister is really angry. She even slammed the door."

As a result, Ellie looked at Xu Qi with a strange expression and said, "Do you really think that's what Eden looks like when he's angry?"

Xu Qi's expression froze.

Then he saw Ellie with her arms crossed, looking at Xu Qi with a very malicious expression.

"Tell me, what were you and Eden doing just now? Why did you make Eden use this method to avoid you?"

Xu Qi touched his nose, clearly realizing that Eden wasn't really angry. The beating he gave Gretchen was just an excuse to hide in the room and prevent Xu Qi from entering.

All I can say is that Gretchen suffered a bit more misfortune than others.

Poor little Gretchen, your brother will be nicer to you next time.

"actually……"

"So, you two were just in the room, all romantic and under the moonlight... were you up to something shady?"

"It hasn't developed to that stage yet."

"Nonsense, Eden hasn't made up his mind to turn your last relative into his lover yet."

Xu Qi looked at Alicia with some surprise. He had previously said that she was a bit silly and cute, but he didn't expect... she's not silly at all, she's quite shrewd!

She truly lives up to her name, Miss Pink Fairy; she's a fairy in both mind and body.

She was wearing a white long dress in the middle of the night. Although she didn't reveal anything, the dress clung to her body, highlighting Alicia's perfectly rounded figure.

It feels even more astringent.

Xu Qi glanced back at her tightly closed door.

"Looks like we won't be seeing Sister Eden tonight."

"Hmph? ~~Who says otherwise? You should find somewhere to go to sleep, or sleep on the sofa? Anyway, you can't go back to your own room."

"You're right."

Xu Qi then turned his head and fixed his gaze on Ai Li.

The little fairy was stunned.

"Why...why are you looking at me like that?"

Xu Qi's gaze softened as he took Ai Li's small hand in his.

"Ellie, I'm sorry, we haven't been very affectionate lately."

"???"

"I'll sleep with you tonight."

769. Miss Seele is going to be in trouble!

"Episode 26, cuts 113, 145, and 146 are to be redrawn."

"Okay, Teacher Liu Qi!"

Xu Qi, who was about to start a meeting, saw a production manager rushing out from Liu Qi's side and heading towards the concept artist's office. She couldn't help but ask Delta, who was next to her, a question.

"It seems like Ms. Liu is now based at the company... Didn't she used to do all home work?"

Delta glanced at the other person.

"What? You just won over Velvi, and it seems your relationship with your sister Eden has progressed further, so you've already started looking inwards at the company, haven't you?"

"Is this how you see me?"

"Scumbag, degenerate, playboy, light novel protagonist."

As if that wasn't enough, he gritted his teeth and said, "He's a beast!"

Xu Qi shrugged; he naturally knew why Delta was so angry with him.

Last night, I carried Ellie back to our room, clearly intending to do something enjoyable. However, we ran into Delta on the way. Ellie was teary-eyed and quickly said...

"Delta! Help me!"

And then...

Then Xu Qi picked her up and carried her into Ai Li's room.

On one side is Ellie's soft and chubby figure, and on the other side is Delta's delicate and tender appearance, like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

Two completely different feelings, yet both are pink fur, and when placed side by side, they are quite harmonious and pleasing to the eye.

So last night was undoubtedly a wonderful experience for Xu Qi.

"Sigh, there were some special circumstances recently, so I could be patient, but now Seed is entering a crucial period, and if you let me down..."

"Don't worry, I won't let myself off the hook."

Delta stared at Xu Qi for a long time before finally revealing a smile.

"Don't think that just because I'm your girlfriend, I won't be strict with you anymore."

"The same words apply to you."

The two smiled at each other. Working together towards the same goal, that feeling... was truly exhilarating.

······

As Delta said, Seed Studios seemed to be operating at full capacity in late May, with everyone seemingly having endless work to do.

This is a year-long anime series. Seed achieved phenomenal success when it premiered in April. Even though it declined somewhat afterward, it was just a normal phenomenon during a smoothing period.

The popularity of Seed reached another peak after episode 7, when the true female lead Lux ​​appeared.

At the same time, people have also begun to notice that the story that Seed wants to tell seems to be quite different from the previous Alahatto games.

He never intended to fight; he was only forced to pilot Kira of Alahatto to protect his comrades.

Then, in order to protect his comrades, he was forced to pilot the Alahato against the enemy and his former best friend! He was drawn into the endless vortex of war.

The racial conflict between genetically modified humans and normal humans also suggests that the story that Alahatto Seed wants to tell may not be a simple robot war.

Rather, it is something more profound and meaningful.

Just like... the very first Alahat.

"The ones who correspond to the Adjusters are naturally the new humans who awakened their spiritual power in Alahato during the UC era, except that the conflict is intensified in this Seed series."

"You can see many references to 0079, but it is definitely a brand new Alahato!"

"War and humanity are the enduring themes beneath the magnificent exterior of Alahatto's mechs!"

"Strike Force is so cool!"

These are roughly the mainstream comments from media and viewers online.

Inside the meeting room, Minister Qian was reporting on the recent public opinion and publicity surrounding Seed.

"The HG Strike model kit has been designed by the OEM, and the first wave of pre-orders is expected to begin in mid-June."

It's not just animation; ultimately, for ET, animation is just a huge propaganda platform.

The key to making money is to leverage excellent animation to secure funding and then create an industry chain.

However, these are the things that will give Mr. Walter a headache.

During the meeting, Xu Qi sat next to Bronya and couldn't help but laugh, "Chairman Walter seems to have more gray hair, he's really busy..."

Bronya shrugged.

“He must be enjoying it now. As the chairman’s first child, Alahato naturally doesn’t want this IP to fade away.”

How is the animation production progressing now?

Xu Qi's expression was stern.

"Episodes 8 and 9, which are about to air, will be the first major plot twist in Seed, and now we are in the crucial production phase for episodes 27 and 28."

Bronya remembered that just over a month ago, Xu Qi was still struggling with the script for episode 28.

More than a month later, episode 28 had already entered the production stage.

"Kira and Athrun are not blood brothers, but they are closer than blood brothers. Their falling out and fighting to the death is the most crucial turning point in Seed. We must do our best to handle it well."

"Don't worry, the animation director for episode 27 is Xiao Yun, and the animation director for episode 28 is Liu Qi. These two teachers are going all out right now."

Bronya listened with a playful look in her eyes.

Bronya had heard a little about why the two of them were going all out. They both wanted to use their assigned episode to prove themselves against Manager Xu!

Well, the point isn't about competing, it's about competing in front of Manager Xu! Competing.

What succubus?

"Furthermore, the original illustrators are both Seele and Sirin, so I have full confidence in these two episodes!"

"Ah... I'm full of confidence..."

"Ok?"

Xu Qi was taken aback when he noticed Bronya's unusual expression.

"What's wrong? Supervision? Is there a problem?"

“Actually…” Bronya said with a slightly embarrassed smile, “this source of your confidence may have recently… encountered some problems.”

······

"call……"

Inside the office, Liu Qi sighed heavily and returned the stack of original drawings in front of her to Su Shana.

“Miss Seele’s 32 cuts…return them and redraw them all.”

"Sigh...sigh!?" Susana stared blankly at the ancient-style beauty in front of her, and asked in confusion, "Teacher Liu...Teacher Liu Qi, you mean...redraw everything!?"

Liu Qi nodded.

Perhaps because her work had temporarily come to an end, she stood up and began to draw her eyebrows in front of the mirror.

To be honest, this teacher Liu Qi is really quite unconventional. She dresses in an antique style for work and touches up her light makeup from time to time.

While she is indeed quite stunning, and a single glance over her shoulder could even give one the feeling of a smile that could topple a city, she always makes people associate her with the phrase "not doing her proper job".

Of course, Susana didn't care about those things; her main concern was the 32 Cuts she had on hand.

"But what about the timeline for redrawing the entire painting...?"

"That's what you need to worry about."

770. Ms. Liu Qi, would it be an honor to have a meal together?

Liu Qi's words were a little harsh, but fortunately, Su Shana wasn't the kind of naive newcomer to the workplace who would argue with everything with a temper.

She frowned and pondered for a moment before asking, "Um...may I ask why? After all, the part Miss Seele was in charge of has to be redone, which is really..."

If we knew the reason, Miss Seele would probably be more careful when making the changes.

Liu Qi glanced at Su Shana, then placed the original artwork of Seele in front of her, lifted the drawing paper, and used the most basic animation method—page turning—to make the 32 cuts move.
