We moved to Golden Courtyard

He immediately declared righteously, "That's not true! Durandal and I are just friends."

Don't get trapped...

With an alluring and captivating charm, Rita placed her slender hand on Xu Qi's chest, and then... slowly moved it downwards.

"It seems you're quite stubborn, sir... But I advise you, sir, that discretion is the better part of valor. Are you sure... you really won't speak?"

"A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated!"

Then we'll have no choice but to kill him.

Rita kissed Xu Qi deeply on the lips.

That goji berry tea should still be somewhat useful.

797. Eden: I can lend people, but you'll be my bargaining chip.

The next morning, Xu Qi rushed to Bronya's office.

"So rushed today?"

Xu Qi was stunned and hadn't reacted yet.

When he saw that Bronya was already getting ready to change her clothes, he quickly waved his hand.

"Duck! Duck! Spare me... After leaving you yesterday, the little maid almost drained me dry, and Mei even clung to me last night! Please give me a day off..."

Seeing Xu Qi's miserable expression, Bronya couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, just kidding. I was very satisfied yesterday; I paid my grain tax well."

If you all act like this, the landlord's family will really run out of food.

Of course, it wasn't as bad as Xu Qi complained. After two months of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, he's slowly starting to see improvement, and lately he feels increasingly energetic.

However, I really need to rest today. Taking care of myself is one thing, but moderation is another.

Fu Xian'er also advised Xu Qi.

"Your women, those little sluts, you shouldn't spoil them too much. Next time, I really need to make you a spreadsheet to record how many times you slept with them each month."

Wouldn't that make us like the emperors of ancient times, who even had to select concubines to record the emperor's records?

Xu Qi immediately smiled and said, "No need, no need, I'll just control myself."

Su also said that.

“Now that Mei is preparing for pregnancy, you’re expending a lot of energy on her, unlike before. The human body isn’t simple; you can’t just supplement it. You also need to nurture it.”

Xu Qi always kept Su's words in mind.

Fortunately, his girlfriends seem to understand the principle of not relying on a single source of wealth and to seek sustainable development.

This will also give him enough time to rest and recuperate.

Anyway, people don't mind group activities these days, as they are quite efficient. And the combinations aren't limited to two people; three or four people can also be included.

It's just going to be tough on Xu Qi.

Bronya stretched.

"So, you came here so early, is there something you want to say?"

"Of course it's about Sirin. Yesterday was your birthday, and I also needed some time to consider it, so I didn't bother you afterwards. Now we can talk about it."

Bronya's eyes lit up.

"What did you say? What did the young lady say?"

So Xu Qi told Bronya what he had told Rita the day before.

The president of ET leaned back in his chair thoughtfully and murmured, "Let alone Eden, even if it were me, I would choose to tell Sirin."

“Doing this would hurt her too much… It’s like forcing that girl to side with us. I can’t do something like that.”

Bronya rolled her eyes at Xu Qi.

"You think you're the only good person?"

Xu Qi remained silent.

"Once September arrives, the upcoming 28th episode will definitely push Seed's popularity to another peak! We can't stop production; we can't afford any unexpected events..."

Miss Sirin is very important to us. If she leaves, it will be difficult to find a replacement animator in a short period of time.

Xu Qi also thought of this point, which is why he pondered it for a long time.

He could tell that the young girl still had some attachment to MH and wasn't indifferent to which company she worked for.

If it weren't for E.T. having Seele, she probably wouldn't have even considered changing jobs.

Bronya fell into deep thought. She stood up and walked to the French windows, quietly considering whether there was a way to have the best of both worlds.

Suddenly, a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.

"What if we acquire MH?"

Xu Qi was surprised. He hadn't expected that such a small personnel change would give Bronya the idea of ​​directly annexing the entire MH!

"You may not know that ET is currently cooperating with the Gold Group and has successfully revitalized the Alahato IP, which needs to be expanded in many places."

Only by making the plate bigger can we put a bigger cake on it and attract more people. Chairman Walter has been working on the company's expansion.

The last time TX poached our talent, it created a lot of tension within the company. If we can acquire MH, ET's size will expand significantly.

Xu Qi really didn't know these things.

From the company's perspective, he was just the head of an animation studio and couldn't see things at that level.

"Such a big matter, shouldn't we convene a board meeting to discuss it?"

"No need. MH is selling people all over the market, there must be some internal problem within the company... Investigate it, then take him over! That way, Celine will naturally be one of ours."

So you want to solve the problem at its source?

Xu Qi often couldn't help but sigh that he had always admired Bronya. She was a good leader, and even more so, a leader worthy of following!

So sometimes, Xu Qi couldn't even tell whether his feelings for Bronya were more love or loyalty as a subordinate.

But now that things have come to this, there's no need to argue anymore.

What? Irrigating the leader is also a manifestation of loyalty!

"Understood. I will find a way to investigate what went wrong with MH."

Seeing Bronya's suspicious look, Xu Qi smiled and explained.

"Using underhanded methods."

Bronya was helpless.

"Aren't you worried about the police coming to your door?"

"We also have people working for the police."

I almost forgot about Theresa, the little mole.

Bronya suddenly realized—Xu Qi actually seems to have a lot of intangible resources that can be utilized. If you think about it this way…it would be a waste for ET not to expand!

These resources were all painstakingly cultivated by Xu Qi.

Thinking of this, Bronya walked over with a pitying look and patted Xu Qi on the shoulder.

"Thanks a lot."

He then patted Xu Qi's side waist.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Xu Qi: ?

"However, I suggest we put the acquisition of MH on hold for now. I'd like to consult with an advisor first to see if it's feasible."

······

At night, Eden nestled comfortably in Xu Qi's arms, his mouth slightly open, as he ate the grapes that Xu Qi had peeled.

The grapes were slightly tart, yet so sweet that Eden felt nauseous.

"So, your boss has set his sights on MH as a way to break the deadlock?"

"Hmm, I wanted to ask you, sister, what do you think of this method?"

"It's possible, but we have to be careful. Even if you're both in the animation industry, acquisitions involve the financial sector. Does your company... have any advisors in this area?"

Xu Qi frowned.

Before he could figure it out, Eden tapped his forehead.

"If you keep doing this, someone might get upset."

Xu Qi followed Eden's gaze, raised his head in confusion, and then saw Anna standing beside him, expressionless.

"Sister Anna!"

The secretary, who had been feigning aloofness, finally revealed a smile.

"Young master finally remembered me."

Xu Qi was overjoyed! With Anna's help, the acquisition of MH was practically a sure thing!

“However…” Eden suddenly wrapped his arms around Xu Qi, pressing his soft body against him, a hint of longing in the depths of his eyes…

“I’m not someone you borrow for nothing.”

798. Go and get Anna for me.

Xu Qi hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously.

"Then, sister, what do you want?"

Eden didn't answer, but tilted her head back slightly to look at Xu Qi, revealing her snow-white, swan-like, graceful neck to Xu Qi.

And those equally exquisite collarbones.

In August, the weather in Shanghai is hot. Eden wore a crystal-colored camisole with her shoulders exposed and lace sleeves around her chest.

Her outfit is very stylish and youthful.

Such a youthful outfit meant that if Xu Qi just lowered his head slightly, he could see the rounded breasts under the tank top, which were so high they looked like they were about to burst.

The deep cleavage seemed to completely draw Xu Qi's gaze.

My sister seems to be increasingly fond of this kind of outfit that attracts men.

Xu Qi understood and said with some difficulty, "But today... I plan to be more restrained."

Eden, after hearing this, said indifferently, "Oh, that works too? Anna, see them out."

"Hey? Wait for me, sister, um..." Xu Qi gave Anna a look that said she should go out first.

When Anna saw the young master winking at her, she retorted.

"Young master, it's normal for the boss to ask you for some payment when you borrow someone from him, but shouldn't you also pay me something?"

Xu Qi was stunned.

No? Dude?

Eden found it amusing, sat up, hooked his arm around Xu Qi's neck, and gave his younger brother a big kiss on the cheek before saying, "What? You don't like my secretary?"

"This! How is this possible? Sister Anna has helped me a lot."

"Including the very initial strategy to distance yourself from me, that was also provided by her?"

"Yes, yes... oh no!"

But it was too late. Anna found it funny and couldn't help but turn her head away.

Xu Qi found it strange. "Isn't this clearly a tactic to betray the boss? Why aren't you worried at all?"
