We moved to Golden Courtyard

"What happened in the conference room just now was a small test."

"Hmm, I see. You want to see if Sirin's mother will still use Sirin to play the emotional card and make you give up your plan to acquire MH."

Bronya remained as perceptive as ever.

When she arrived, Xu Qi hadn't told her anything. Just now in the office, it was entirely due to the tacit understanding between the two of them that that clever situation was formed.

It was as if two proctors were observing Celine's mother to see if she would make the right choice.

"If she does this, it means that she has once again used Sirin and once again tried to drag Sirin into this money-grubbing place."

"Then Bronya, believe me, I will make sure she packs her bags and leaves immediately after the acquisition of MH! No amount of pleading will help."

That's certainly a choice that clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment.

"But I would say that some things are inevitable... The fact that Xilin loves her mother so much means that she must have given her heart."

It's perfectly normal for people to feel confused about choices at times, but when they calm down, they will eventually realize what is truly important in this world.

indeed so.

"So this puts one worry to rest. Celine can now continue drawing peacefully at ET. September will pass quickly, and then it will be October..."

The start of a new quarter also signifies that Alahatse Seed is officially entering its second chapter. It's precisely at times like these that we cannot afford to slack off.

"Um……"

As Xu Qi walked out of the MH building, he looked up at the azure sky and suddenly fell into a deep thought.

"what happened?"

"I was wondering if the weather in Shanghai has been pretty nice these past few days?"

Bronya nodded hesitantly.

I guess so... There's no wind or rain, and the weather isn't as hot as it is in July or August. Although it's still warm enough to make you sweat, some people have started wearing jackets.

It was indeed a good day.

But why ask this all of a sudden?

"Hmm... I guess I still need that, right?"

So, which one is that?

Team building activities.

"..."

Bronya's eyes widened suddenly! In that instant, all the progress of the Alahatto Seed and the workload of the mission began to unfold and combine in her mind.

The final conclusion is...

Two days!

"So if you include the weekend, it'll be four days... We'll arrange three days for sightseeing, and the last day for everyone to go home, relax, and prepare. Monday will be a good day to go back to work. That should be a good arrangement, right?"

It's more than just good!

It's practically like getting two extra days off for no reason!

If those lowly clerks down there heard this news, they'd probably faint from excitement!

Who would schedule team building activities on a weekday?!

Logically speaking, as the company president and a thorough capitalist, her thoughts should be on how to further exploit and squeeze her employees.

But...but...she hasn't had a vacation in a long time!

October is almost here, which is the most demanding time of year. A perfect vacation during this period would be extremely helpful in boosting enthusiasm for work!

Two days... I can only squeeze out two days at most!

But two days is enough!

"Shut up! Uh, I mean... team building! A really big team building! Go out and have fun! Go out and relax! We're animators, and always staying cooped up in a small room isn't good for our creative work. We need more outdoor activities!"

874. What is Eden's superpower? Rich

"So, in order to prepare for the upcoming October, you're planning to organize a team-building activity, taking the employees out to relax. Am I right?"

In the living room of the Golden Courtyard, Eden asked this question with a solemn expression.

"In other words..." Mei took a deep breath, "...tourism!?"

In the living room, Xu Qi was also sitting on the sofa, but he was being stared at by countless eyes. He was just there to announce a plan, so why were they all looking at him like that?

And... why are you staring at me, Bronya?!

"Cough! Uh... indeed."

“Oh~~ Indeed~~” Mebius said seductively as he moved closer to her.

"If you spend four days going out with those slutty and cheap women in your company, they'll probably eat you alive, leaving not a single bone behind, right?"

As she spoke, her nimble fingers slid upwards along Xu Qi's abdomen, making him shudder! He felt like he wasn't about to be devoured by any of the girls in the company...

You're not going to eat me, are you, Möbius?!

"Exactly!" Alicia pouted unhappily, "You've had a baby in just four days!"

Airi, Mei would cry if she heard that, right?

She hasn't made a move in a whole year!

However, Xu Qi finally understood why they were all staring at him like that.

"Seriously, what are you guys thinking?" Xu Qi rubbed his forehead. "Of course, you have to bring your families for these team building activities, right? We'll be going together 100%, how could we leave you guys at home?"

"Ugh?"

Ellie blinked, and there were many other girls with the same expression as her.

"I see, I misunderstood you~~ Here, little guinea pig, I'll reward you with a bite."

As he spoke, Mebius was about to kiss Xu Qi when he was stopped by the quick-thinking Vervière.

"You really are shameless, Professor..."

"whispering sound!"

Even if he couldn't kiss Xu Qi after breaking free from Vervi's arms, Mebius could still stick close to her, which was the most important thing, since it had been a while since he had been able to be close to Xu Qi.

Snakes are inherently... those who know, know.

Upon hearing that Xu Qi still wanted to take everyone along, Bronya secretly pursed her lips—she had thought she could use this opportunity to take Xu Qi away for a few days by herself and then enjoy herself properly…

All our efforts were in vain!

It's one thing for Eden and the others to object, but why are you getting involved, Alicia? Aren't you also a member of the company?! Didn't you see that Sakura hasn't said a word since just now?

That guy must have thought of making a fortune quietly too!

Eden nodded in satisfaction, then asked, "So, is there a definite plan for where to go?"

"Not yet, it's just an idea. I just wanted to ask everyone what they thought."

Speaking of this, everyone will be wide awake now.

Fu Hua immediately raised her hand!

"climb mountains!"

"turn down!"

This scene feels strangely familiar...

Was it the same when you went to Guangcheng before?

Fu Hua pitifully squatted in the corner and drew circles. Seeing this, Fu Xian'er gently comforted her disciple by patting his back.

Rin seemed to have some ideas, but with so many people around, she was a little shy and didn't dare to say them directly, so she leaned close to her sister's ear and whispered a few words.

"Xu Qi, Lin asked Disney if it's possible."

Rin was startled; she hadn't expected her sister to sell her out like that!

Xu Qi had noticed the sisters' little actions earlier and couldn't help but laugh.

"It's not that it's impossible, but we have four days... It feels like just visiting Disneyland isn't enough."

"No, it's nothing, brother-in-law, I was just saying it casually..."

It seems that even though they've already had that kind of relationship, Rin is still a little shy in this situation.

Hmm... maybe it will be much better if she comes with her sister more often next time.

"Does Mei have any thoughts?"

When Xu Qi asked, Mei was slightly taken aback, and then said, "I don't have any special requirements, I just hope it won't be too tiring."

Fu Hua, who had just suggested going hiking, felt as if Mei had stabbed her in the heart again.

"Well, I do have a good idea."

Hearing Eden suddenly speak, Xu Qi's eyes lit up and she quickly asked, "Sister, tell me quickly, what are your thoughts?"

"Let's charter a cruise ship."

……

After Eden finished speaking, an awkward silence fell over the entire courtyard. Almost everyone who heard the idea could only think of one word – Rich!

After a long period of mental blankness, Bronya gave an awkward but polite smile and said, "Um... Eden, according to our ET team-building budget, chartering a cruise ship is something like that..."

I doubt it's possible.

"Tell me first whether you want to or not."

"Of course I want to..."

"What about the rest?"

The group exchanged bewildered glances. Even though they were taken aback by Eden's words, the anticipation in their eyes was undeniable. If they could really charter a cruise ship and enjoy four days of pure bliss…

Of course I want to!

Putting everything else aside, Xu Qi has at least started to have wild fantasies.

Cruise ships... He's only ever seen them in photos all his life!

Upon seeing this, Eden's lips curled up slightly, forming a charming smile.

A glass of red wine had appeared in her hand sometime during the night. She swirled it gently, and a captivating blush reflected in the eyes of this woman who was perhaps the richest in the world.

Plan in place...

"Don't worry about the fees. Aren't our Gold Group and ET in a cooperative relationship?"

As he spoke, Eden gave Anna a look.

The secretary immediately added, "President Bronya, the expenses for this team building activity, both for the courtyard and for your company, will be fully covered by our Golden Group."

"Really...really?" Bronya even stammered a little.

"Of course, but only for employees of your Seed studio. If other people in the company also want to participate in this team building activity, they will need to bear the corresponding costs."

"Sure! No problem!"

Don't worry, no one else in the company will know that this team building activity is on a big cruise ship!

"That means..." Xu Qi's pupils contracted!

"The four-day cruise trip... is it booked?"

"It's booked."

What kind of efficiency is this?!

Xu Qi clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and suddenly tilted his head back, opened his mouth, closed his eyes, and let out a suppressed, passionate, and extremely excited roar!

If you didn't know he was excited about the big cruise ship, you'd probably think he'd already...orgasmed.

"elder sister."
