Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

There are so many things, three girls might not be able to carry them all.

Afterwards, the three of them went straight back to the villa. As soon as they got home, Bronya and Seele started to set up, while Bai Qianqu and Seele were completely unable to help. According to Bronya, the two of them were clumsy and could not help at all, and were more likely to make things worse.

Dinner was also eaten at Bronya's place. Bai Qianqu originally planned to go to the kitchen to help out, but she quickly broke a plate and was ruthlessly kicked out of the kitchen.

Hill sat on the sofa and chuckled.

"So, even Teacher Bai has areas where she's not good at something? I thought you were an all-rounder."

Bai Qianqu said awkwardly, "Ahem, how could there be an omnipotent person? I just know a little more things than others."

At this moment, Jiuxiao and Xiaotu also arrived, bringing with them a revised and complete version of "Plants vs. Zombies".

Last time, Jiuxiao suggested replacing all the monsters with human zombies, mainly because he felt that putting Houmu zombies on the board would look a bit out of place, and he was afraid that some Houmu fans would not be able to accept it.

While it's possible to change the Houmu Zombie into a cuter chibi version, it would be better to release it during a collaboration event as a collaboration skin, which would generate more buzz.

Moreover, the original zombie skin is just too classic, and Bai Qianqu doesn't really want to change it.

The group couldn't wait to start playing on the big screen.

This game is almost identical to the original, featuring a variety of zombies and plants, making it very addictive.

Dinner was ready quickly; Bronya and Seele cooked a table full of delicious food themselves.

Sweet and sour pork ribs, spicy chicken, braised fish, stir-fried greens and mushrooms, and a big bowl of pork rib soup.

It was a very sumptuous meal.

The six people sat around the table and began to eat heartily without any hesitation, while the little rabbit could only sit there and watch helplessly.

Bronya said with some regret, "I had also invited Kiana and Mei today, but they seem to be busy. It looks like I'll have to wait until the New Year to invite them."

Bai Qianqu asked, "Do Kiana and the others come every year during the Lunar New Year?"

"Yes, Kiana and the others come to play with us every year during the Lunar New Year. It's an agreement that started a long time ago."

"I see."

Bai Qianqu nodded. It seemed that the three families had a really good relationship. Knowing that Bronya and Seele were orphans, they came to keep them company every year during the Lunar New Year.

Bronya glanced at Bai Qianqu's bowl and couldn't help but say, "Eat more vegetables! Eating more vegetables is good for your health. Hill too, being a picky eater is a bad habit!"

Bai Qianqu and Hill exchanged a glance and, with perfect understanding, cut a piece of green vegetable in half, one half for each of them.

Bronya: "

She was speechless: "Can't you eat a little more?"

Bai Qianqu looked at Bronya and suddenly said, "I heard that eating more vegetables can make people younger. It is said that there was a person named Yakumo Yukari who loved to eat vegetables, so she remained 17 years old forever."

Bronya looked at Bai Qianqu with a puzzled expression.

Bai Qianqu emphasized, "She will always be 17 years old."

Even Jiu Xiao, who had been engrossed in eating, looked up with a puzzled expression.

"Teacher Bai, what are you talking about? Is this a joke?"

Bai Qianqu: "Yeah, isn't it funny?"

Seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, Bai Qianqu shook her head with great regret and inexplicably missed Rosalyn. It seemed that understanding her jokes was indeed not easy.

While most people are preparing to enjoy the Spring Festival holiday, some are still at their posts. Although both Zhuhuo and Nishang are leading companies, Zhuhuo has more employees working overtime.

Because Zhu Huo was facing a huge problem, a very bad one, so bad that it might affect the War of the Gods.

Originally, Zhu Huo planned to release ten songs for the War of the Gods, but today, he suddenly discovered that the melody of one of the songs is very similar to that of a song from the Americas.

This matter is neither a big deal nor a small one. It's normal for melodies to overlap in music, especially in pop music, where people often use the same chords.

This year, Yae Sakura is in charge of the duty shift, and she was the first to receive the news.

The subordinate who came to report the situation asked nervously, "Minister Yae, what do we do now? There are only two days left until the start of the War of the Gods, and now this has happened."

Yae Sakura calmly replied, "What did the review department say? Did they determine it was plagiarism?"

The subordinate shook his head: "No, it's not plagiarism. They analyzed and compared the scores over there, and it didn't meet the standard for plagiarism. The main notes of the motif are inconsistent, and the chord progressions are also inconsistent. It's probably the same as before. The composer may have borrowed inspiration when creating the piece, but this doesn't count as plagiarism."

Yae Sakura breathed a slight sigh of relief at first, but then quickly frowned.

"Although it doesn't constitute plagiarism, we still can't release it. We, Zhu Huo, are not those short-sighted, crooked companies. If this song is released, it might cause controversy and affect our company's image in the eyes of the audience. If we ruin our reputation, it would be like drinking poison to quench our thirst."

Chapter 257 Slow Down

The subordinate panicked: "What should we do? The song has already been promoted in the early stages. If we don't release it, we'll have to give up."

Yae Sakura said without hesitation, "Then give up! We can always change the song. We have so many composers in our company, surely we can come up with a song to replace it?"

"Yes, there are some," the subordinate said hesitantly. "But the quality of the other songs is much worse than this one, and at this point in time, releasing it directly would be like having no promotion. I doubt any composer would be willing to share their best work."

Upon hearing this, Yae Sakura also fell into deep thought.

The subordinate is right. Who would want to use their best work as a substitute? Especially in a battle of the gods, using it as cannon fodder is such a waste.

Neither of them had any ideas for a moment.

"Alright, you go and issue a notice to remove this song that is suspected of plagiarism. I'll figure out what to do next."

"The most urgent task now is to ensure the smooth progress of the War of the Gods, and there can be no mistakes."

"Yes."

Watching her subordinates leave, Yae Sakura felt a headache coming on.

These things weren't originally her responsibility, but since she's now the only department head on duty, these tasks still need to be handed over to her.

However, it was clear that she couldn't handle the situation alone, so she decided to go to Mei. She knew that no matter what happened, going to Mei would solve everything.

However, before she could even leave the office, Paddy burst in, carrying a large bag of things.

"Sister Ying!"

"Pado? What brings you here?"

"Oh dear, we've come to bring you your New Year's clothes. Sister Aili said we should bring them to you." Pado took out a brand-new winter trench coat. "Look, Sister Aili said she and Sister Eden spent a long time picking out this coat, and she insisted that you wear it, saying you'd look great in it!"

Sakura was both amused and exasperated: "You came all this way just for this?"

"Yeah, Sister Aili said she'd bring us the best canned fish if we made a trip. Hehe, I've been craving canned cod for so long! By the way, is Sister Ying coming back for dinner on New Year's Eve? Brother Jie has been talking about it for ages."

"Eating shouldn't be a problem, provided we can guarantee nothing unexpected happens here," Sakura sighed. "But the situation is a bit complicated right now, so it's probably going to be quite difficult."

"What's wrong? Are you having a problem?" Pado leaned closer, very curious. "What kind of problem is it? Tell me about it, maybe I can give you some advice!"

Looking at Pado's curious face, Sakura felt quite helpless.

"Forget it, Pado, this matter is rather troublesome. Let me go find Mei instead. If it's not handled properly, it might affect the image of our entire company."

"Huh? Is it that serious?" Pado was very surprised. "Forget it, let's not listen to such troublesome things. Let's go first! By the way, Sister Ying, are you not going to eat the oranges on this table? If not, I'll take them with me."

No—eat

Before Sakura could finish speaking, Pado had already left the office at lightning speed with the oranges, leaving Sakura completely bewildered. She sighed.

"Never mind, I'll go find Mei instead."

Mei happened to be at the company today. She usually stays until the afternoon of New Year's Eve before going home, so you could say she's a total workaholic.

Soon, Yae Sakura arrived at Mei's office door. Just as she was about to knock, she heard a male and a female voice coming from inside.

"What? You want me to get Zhiyin's autograph? But I don't even know who Zhiyin is."

"He's an artist from your company, don't you recognize him?"

"Sigh, I really don't know them. I only know a few key editors at World Snake."

"Is this how you act as a CEO?"

"Yes, Mei, you have no idea how great it is to be a hands-off boss."

"I think I know pretty much why the World Serpent has been unable to rise for so many years."

"Huh? Is it because of me?"

"Yes and no. How should I put it? Sometimes a boss who doesn't give orders randomly is more useful than one who gives orders randomly. Never mind, go get me Zhiyin's autograph first. Can you stop licking my boots? You've already gotten them all out there."

"It's okay, I'll go slower."

Sakura: 0ω0!

After listening outside the door for a while, she couldn't help but cough loudly, then reached out and knocked on the door.

"President, it's me, Ying."

Soon, Mei's voice came from inside: "Please come in."

Sakura pushed open the door and found that it was indeed Kevin, who was sitting opposite Mei's desk, licking the crumbs from instant noodles off his hands, which were scattered all over the desk.

Upon seeing Sakura enter, Kevin stood up to greet her, then left as if nothing had happened.

Sakura's lips twitched; she knew she had misunderstood.

Mei Jianying came in without saying a word and asked curiously, "What's wrong, Ying? Is something the matter?"

As one of the executives of Chasing Fire, Sakura is only in charge of security work, but she is actually quite versatile. She can handle the work of many departments and is very independent and efficient. She usually doesn't come to me unless she is reporting on work or there is a major event. The fact that she suddenly came over in such a hurry means that something has happened that is difficult for her to handle on her own.

"Uh—it's like this." Sakura snapped out of her daze and quickly explained the situation in detail.

"Oh, is that so?" Mei listened calmly and pondered for a moment.

This wasn't the first time she'd dealt with something like this, but this time was truly special. The timing was incredibly delicate; with only two days left until the New Year, changing to a backup song was clearly unrealistic.

The songs selected to participate in the War of the Gods must be high-quality songs, and it is difficult for other songs to replace them. In addition, there is no time to promote them again, unless a song of higher quality than the original is presented, or a song that already generates buzz and traffic.

These kinds of songs are hard to find nowadays. After all, high-quality songs are treasures, and they can't just be used as substitutes.

Mei finally said, "Well then, you should go back first. I already know about this matter, and I'll think of a solution."

Sakura was still a little worried, but seeing that Mei seemed to have a plan, she nodded and left the office.

Watching Sakura leave, Mei hesitated for a moment before picking up the phone and dialing Eden's number.

The quality is higher than the original song, and it also generates its own buzz and traffic. Apart from Eden's song, she didn't have a better choice, so she could only try asking around first.

If it really doesn't work out, then we'll have to give up this spot.

Mei understands the principle of "better to have nothing than something bad."
