We moved to Golden Courtyard

"Ok?"

"I absolutely love you."

"I just don't want to hear you say that at this time..."

Xu Qi couldn't help but chuckle, and everyone else burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Then let's pass on this message when we go to work tomorrow, and the time is set for this Thursday! The sooner the better."

"Yay!~~"

875. Cruise ships! Natural enclosed spaces!

The allure and awe brought by the large cruise ship were clearly far beyond Xu Qi's imagination.

The next day, when the news spread through Xu Qi, countless people came to him, some from his own department and others from other departments.

Xu Qi originally thought that such news would definitely make Su Shana shout and scream, but the little bear girl just nodded after hearing it.

Xu Qi hesitated for a moment before confirming.

"It's a cruise ship? The really huge one, and it might even be the only one they have booked."

"Oh? It would be great to have the whole place to ourselves; we should be able to have a very comfortable time."

They were completely unmoved!

"Susana...isn't she planning to go?"

"Huh? No way? Everyone's going, how can I not go? Team building activities are more fun when all my colleagues are there, right?"

I sensed a subtle reluctance in his words.

Could it be that this Susana is... rich and has been on cruises multiple times, so she's completely uninterested in this kind of thing...?

Impossible, impossible! What rich girl is so stupid?

Before Xu Qi could finish dealing with Su Shana's situation, Liu Qi also came over, and unexpectedly, there was another person beside her—Xiao Yun.

"Teacher Xiao? It's been a long time! What brings you here?"

"I heard the company is organizing a team building activity, so I came to ask about it."

"I was really excited after hearing about cruise ships, so I wanted to confirm with my supervisor..."

Liu Qi, as always, showed no respect for Xiao Yun, and Xiao Yun didn't seem to care much.

After receiving Xu Qi's affirmative reply, it was clear that the usually taciturn supervisor seemed to be in a much better mood. Team building was truly a brilliant idea...

"Was it four days entirely on the cruise ship, or...?"

"The route goes all the way to Japan, arriving around the morning of the second day. It will stop for about a day and then return on the third day."

"Oh? That seems pretty good."

Liu Qi eventually left with a smile on her face, but she seemed to glance at Xu Qi a few more times before leaving.

I'm a little worried. What if this lady took me to some secluded corner on the cruise ship and then ate me...?

After all, once a cruise ship sets sail, it becomes a natural enclosed space.

Many suspense or detective novels set their cases on cruise ships.

In addition to the members of these studios, many other people from various departments also approached Xu Qi, including Minister Qian from the Publicity Department.

"Manager Xu, I heard that your Seed Studio is planning a team-building trip on a cruise ship this week?"

"Oh, yes, that's true. What's wrong?"

"Um..." the young leader said somewhat awkwardly, "Could you include me? I'm planning to take my wife and kids to experience it."

"sure?"

"real!?"

"Just pay the money."

"You fucking..."

Within a single morning, it seemed that everyone in the company knew about it.

Alahato Seed Studio is having a team-building event on a cruise ship this Thursday! We also heard that Manager Xu generously paid for the entire cruise ship out of his own pocket!

Other departments that want to join in have to pay a fee.

What a miser...

"boom!"

In the office, Bronya slammed her hands heavily on Xu Qi's desk, looked up, and said almost through gritted teeth, "Why does everyone in the company know?"

"Um... I accidentally told my colleague this morning."

Was it intentional or accidental?

Xu Qi changed the subject.

“You bastard…” Bronya grabbed Xu Qi by the collar. “I had everything planned out, thinking the fewer people the better, but today even Walter asked me about it!”

Someone asked me if Seed Studio was planning a team-building trip on a cruise ship... Doesn't that mean the whole company knows?!

Xu Qi scratched his head awkwardly.

"It's alright, after all, not everyone is interested in cruise ships, and I guess quite a few people have even been on one. As for team building, not many employees will have high expectations."

That's true...

But I'm still really annoyed!

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to worry about this."

Bronya sighed.

"Let's put that aside for now. Will your parents be going?"

"They just finished traveling the world, how could they be in the mood for a cruise? I asked them last night, and they're not coming."

"I see..."

Bronya seemed lost in thought.

"I've basically notified everyone who needed to be notified. I've also informed Mei, and even Kafka and Hato."

"You're quite compassionate."

"We're collaborators with Kaffa, so it won't take much effort to inform them."

As they were talking, Rita knocked on the door, entered the office, and handed over a document.

"Sir, this is the list of our department's team-building participants. Their identification information has been filled out, including those who will be accompanying us."

"Yes, make sure to compile the statistics and send them to Sister Eden before you leave work."

Bronya asked curiously, "Why do you need to collect these statistics?"

"Going through customs... Even if my sister Eden has connections everywhere, it's still a port of entry. Customs procedures have to be completed before you can board the ship. Do you think it's that easy?"

Bronya was both surprised and relieved at the same time.

With Xu Qi around, she indeed didn't have to worry about many things.

Now all she needs to do is think about what she should do for the next four days.

Bronya glanced at Xu Qi, who was still working. The young man was still incredibly charming when he was focused. A slight smile involuntarily curved Bronya's lips.

"We really need to make proper preparations..."

"Huh? What did you just say?"

Perhaps he was too engrossed in the conversation, Xu Qi didn't hear what Bronya was saying.

"It's nothing, just focus on your work. I'm going back now."

The moment he turned around, he could no longer suppress the smile on his face.

Cruise ships, natural enclosed spaces... Doesn't this mean that, as long as the arrangements are reasonable, I can do whatever I want to Xu Qi?

Bronya wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, her anticipation for the cruise trip growing stronger.

······

"Padoo! Your chance has come!"

"what?"

In Rin's room in the Golden Garden, the little girl, like a thief, pulled the cat to the bedside and said, "What?! The chance to win over Mr. Xu Qi has arrived!"

The cat's ears immediately stood up!

"Cruise ships, do you know what that represents?"

"What does '代'... represent?"

"A natural enclosed space! Think about it, once a cruise ship sets sail, no matter how large it is, it naturally creates a sense of being isolated from the world while sailing at sea!"

"so?"

The little fox's tail was almost wagging, and with a foxy smile that was seven parts similar to her sister's, Rin said, "As long as everything is arranged properly, once we get on the cruise ship, we can do whatever we want to our brother-in-law, right?"

876. 'You don't want to either...' is really so useful.

The gym in the basement of Golden Courtyard is usually a place where very few people come.

Especially now that it's summer, when you're already sweating a lot, who wants to go to the gym and get all drenched in sweat? Even someone like Ying, who practices martial arts, doesn't go.

Those who come here are usually self-disciplined individuals.

For example, Theresa, and Fu Hua.

Of course... it also includes a dashing British lady with long blonde hair.

She was wearing a black tracksuit that clung to her curvaceous body, revealing her fair waist with beads of sweat on it.

It might not be noticeable under normal circumstances, but when you put on this tight-fitting sweatshirt and tie your hair up in a golden ponytail, you not only look amazing but also exude youthful energy.

Rita watched from the side, nodding frequently.

This is totally Xu Qi's type...

Moreover, its roundness and fullness are probably enough to rival that of the nun named Aponia!

As expected, beneath Lady Durandal's heroic appearance lies a devilish body.

Even I would drool over it...

The thing she's doing is a bit unsightly; Lady Durandal is lifting a barbell, which I roughly estimate to weigh... around 500 kilograms...

What was the world record again? 505?

It doesn't matter. Even if he manages to lift it, he probably won't be as relaxed as Lady Durandal. This is just her daily muscle training.

If possible, I feel that Lady Durandal could even throw this 500-kilogram barbell!

If Fu Xian'er possesses the most terrifying mental power in the world, then Yulandel...

She undoubtedly possesses the most terrifying physical strength in the world.

Even so, apart from her almost sexy abs, it's hard to find any other obvious muscle groups on Lady Durandal.

Thanks to this, Lady Durandal possesses a wild beauty.

If Sakura's wildness is only expressed in bed, and is considered an inner beauty...

Lady Durandal is the kind of beauty that constantly assaults your visual senses, causing your hormones to surge and making you want to have sex with her on the spot.

As long as he behaves properly, Mr. Xu Qi will definitely not be able to withstand it.

Gently lowering the barbell, Durandal let out a long breath and couldn't help but say, "Rita, is there something you need? You've been staring at me for ages..."

"I was so engrossed in watching it for a while. Lady Durandal is still so self-disciplined."
