We moved to Golden Courtyard

You might ask, since it's going to be his sooner or later, why is he so excited...? Because if I don't agree, he'll never be promoted to manager in his lifetime.

My words essentially resolved his last remaining concern, and from then on, whatever personnel changes we wanted to make, he would do his utmost to coordinate them.

That's just how personnel matters are...

"In the end, the only ET now is Walter and me. The conflict between the old and new factions has been reconciled because of Li Sushang."

"If I didn't have to focus most of my energy on Seed, I could easily establish a dictatorship."

Bronya said this with such ease and nonchalance.

"Moreover, for ET, which is in a period of expansion, there will likely be many more similar acquisitions in the future..."

"Your Sister Ying's arrival is perfectly timed. We're short-staffed right now, especially people who can actually get the work done."

Xu Qi was also moved after hearing this.

It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early...

"Now that we have a clear understanding of MH's true situation, we can officially begin the acquisition plan."

"That's right, you can have your sister Ying submit her resignation today and then come for an interview with us. It'll be a formality, and she'll be hired immediately after the interview, just like you were back then."

There's no need to worry about whether your sister Sakura will lose her job if our final decision is not to acquire MH.

Don't worry, just like I said before, ET is going to enter a long period of expansion, with projects coming one after another, she'll be very busy.

Xu Qi clapped his hands and laughed.

Bronya really thought of everything for him.

In that case, it's best if he doesn't mess things up.

······

"Seele! Let's go out and have fun together this weekend?"

In the office, Xilin looked at Xier with great anticipation.

To be honest, regarding what Xu Qi had mentioned to her before—companionship—Xilin felt she was gradually grasping its essence. Even without Xu Qi, she was certain she could still be good friends with Xier.

Undoubtedly, little Xilin has become arrogant once again.

"No, Sirin, I... I have some other things to do this weekend."

"Oh……"

Celine's face fell slightly in disappointment.

Just then, Xu Qi came out of Bronya's side and was spotted by Sirin as he passed by the door of the original artist's office.

The little girl's eyes immediately lit up!

Hmm? If Seele can't go with her... well, it seems like there's someone else who can help! After all, we agreed that we're friends!

803, Mei? A skeleton in a tomb, we'll capture him sooner or later!

Sirin has a sharp eye; how much worse can Seele be than her?

Xu Qi didn't even need to pass by the door; the moment he appeared, Xi'er already sensed it—in fact, the so-called weekend business was just Dr. Mei's plan to take everyone on the Ptolemaic out for some fun.

It can be considered a rest.

Xu Qi is, of course, one of them.

Among the people traveling with them, at least Sister Shigure Kira showed a lot of enthusiasm. Well... this person has already been listed as Seele's number one enemy.

Seele couldn't say for sure what kind of enemy it was.

Given her shy nature, she was hesitant to approach Xu Qi when she saw him appear, so how could she possibly understand why she suddenly became hostile towards Shi Yu Qi Luo?

Just as I was thinking this...

"Hey! You jerk!"

Xu Qi stopped and looked at Xilin, who had chased after him from the office, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

For the past two months, "annoying person" has become his nickname.

However, the way you address someone can become somewhat ambiguous depending on the tone of your voice.

For example, that "you jerk" comment—any normal person would know that it doesn't necessarily mean Miss Xilin dislikes Xu Qi; in fact, it might quite the opposite...

This led to many people around them glancing at the two of them more than once upon hearing the affectionate nickname.

Upon seeing that one of them was Supervisor Xu, I couldn't help but shake my head.

It seems another naive young girl is about to fall into Manager Xu's clutches.

We are an animation company, not a matchmaking agency...

"What are you doing? I don't have time to mess around with you lately."

"Tch!" Xilin crossed her arms. The girl wasn't exactly flat-chested, but she was definitely adorable...

"Are you free this weekend? Come out with me!"

Xu Qi stared at the girl in front of him with his mouth slightly open, his expression full of strangeness.

"Cirin, do you know what it means when a girl invites a boy out to play?"

"What else could it mean? Doesn't it just mean friends?"

Seeing the other person's half-understanding look, Xu Qi really wanted to ask—where did this innocent little lamb come from? He felt that having feelings for her would only deepen his sense of guilt…

Where do you want to go for fun?

Xilin put her hands on her hips.

"Ocean Park! There's an orca show this weekend!"

Where did these kids come from? But... Ocean Park? I vaguely remember Dr. Mei mentioning it to me, I think it was around this weekend too.

"I have a friend who invited me to Ocean Park this weekend, want to come along?"

"Ah...ah?" Xilin stammered for a moment.

"Are you shy?"

"Who!...Who said that! What kind of friend do you have? Bring him over so I can meet him!"

Strictly speaking, she's not a friend—she's my wife.

"Okay~~ Don't worry, I'll pick you up then, I won't let you come looking for me alone."

"You've thought this through quite well?" Xilin patted Xu Qi on the shoulder with satisfaction.

"That's great! I won't call you 'annoying devil' anymore, I'll just call you Little Xu!"

Xu Qi: ?

You might as well call me a nuisance... Of course, Xu Qi wouldn't argue with a little girl about this, so let him be Xu Qi.

You can treat me like a eunuch, as long as my girlfriends... know what level I'm at.

Xu Qi shook his head.

However, agreeing to go out with Celine... could also be seen as a way of making up for her mistake.

Xu Qi watched the little girl's cheerful departing figure, a complex emotion welling up in his eyes.

After all, in order to poach her, they had considered acquiring her company, so once the plan started, it would be very swift.

It's quite possible that you were perfectly fine yesterday, but the next morning you'll find yourself belonging to ET.

This might be a little hard for this little girl to accept.

……

However, Xilin was unaware of all this at the moment. She happily returned to her workstation and sat down, only to hear Xier ask a question quietly beside her.

"Cilin, you just... went to see Mr. Xu Qi?"

"Huh? Yeah, I..."

However, before Sirin could finish speaking, Seele suddenly stood up and walked outside.

"Um... Seele?"

"It's nothing, I'm just going for a walk."

Sirin scratched her head in confusion. Why did it feel like... Seele was a little angry just now? And she wondered if it was just her imagination, but Seele's pupils seemed to be red just now?

Was she wearing colored contact lenses?

……

"boom!"

On the balcony of the company's high-rise building, Xi'er kicked the railing with such force that the steel railing bent slightly.

"A little brat like you dares to jump around in front of me..."

At this moment, her eyes were already bloodshot.

"You too! So weak and frail... that little bitch has already outlived you!"

The next moment, Seele's eyes turned blue again, and her entire demeanor became genuinely fragile. She stubbornly protested, "I didn't..."

"You still have the nerve to say that! ...You were the one who told me you liked Xu Qi, and now you're the one who's not in a hurry anymore!?"

"I...I didn't say I liked Mr. Xu Qi..."

"Yo yo yo~~" In the space of consciousness, Seele, dressed in black, stroked the face of Seele, dressed in white, "Look at this stubborn little face..."

Who told me they wanted to get closer to Mr. Xu Qi? Can you recall that for me?

"That was just wanting to get closer, not because I like him..."

Black Seele pouted.

"Keep arguing with me. Who knows when you'll still be pitifully drawing at your desk while Xilin is already dating Xu Qi in the office."

"No!...No way!"

"Oh? You're already in such a hurry? There's something even more urgent..."

A crimson light flashed in Hei hope's eyes.

"At that time, your Mr. Xu Qi will be with Xilin, with Shiyu Qiluo, and even with that 'Hidden Dragon and Phoenix Chick' in the company!" When asked about Xier, he looked completely puzzled.

Seele? Who?

"No!...It can't be like this! Me and Mr. Xu Qi!...Me and Mr. Xu Qi..."

Black hope moved away from White hope and sat on a throne-like chair.

"What happened between you and Mr. Xu Qi? Did you have some special experience together? Stop deceiving yourself, Xier... If you like him, then go after him! What kind of behavior is this, cowering here like this!"

Seele was in distress.

“If you don’t know how…” Hei hope floated closer again, hugging Bai hope from behind, and whispered seductively in her ear, “Then let me do it…”

"You...you think you can do it?"

"At least I'm better than you. This weekend, just watch how I seduce Xu Qi. As for Shi Yu Qi Luo or Xi Lin, I guarantee I'll make them back down!"

"But...but what about Dr. Mei..."

Hei hope's face darkened—the thought of that woman with the lewd figure made her feel uneasy; this woman was the real formidable rival.

"Hmph! Nothing more than withered bones in a tomb, I will capture them sooner or later!"

804. You've wronged many people, one more like Xilin won't make a difference.

That evening, Xu Qi frowned as he looked at the files that Maomao had sent him.

Clearly, Xu Qi's so-called illegal means involved his good friend Pado.

However, it wasn't bad news that came out; MH was indeed facing a financial crisis due to insufficient funds.
