Moved to Golden Courtyard

Rita lowered her eyes, effectively concealing the fleeting dimness in her pupils.

And Delta also spoke straight to the point.

"Alright, alright, if you're being too attentive to me, you're either a traitor or a thief! Tell me, what are you planning on doing by inviting us to dinner? If you're planning on pursuing Rita, I can tell you her measurements right now."

Hearing such explicit words, Rita couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Xu Qi even complained directly: "Why when you chase a girl, your first reaction is to give me her measurements! I'm not a pervert!"

238. Let me show you Bronya’s past

I just complained about the second half of the sentence, but didn't explain the first half at all...

Rita understood what Xu Qi meant. She rolled her eyes at him with a slightly rosy cheek and began to help put the raw meat into the baking tray.

Hiss... Why do I feel like... a good wife and mother?

Rita shook her head. Illusion... all illusion.

Xu Qi also ordered a box of cold beer.

Rita didn't want to drink, which she had asked before coming. She opened a bottle for Delta and herself, then lifted the bottle and started to drink it.

"To be honest, are you really not considering vodka?"

“I’m not Russian!”

Delta shrugged.

"So, what do you want to ask? Can you tell me now?"

After drinking a bottle of wine, Xu Qi felt something. He looked straight at Delta and said, "Director Delta, you should have known Supervisor Bronya a long time ago."

……

This guy really heard everything from outside the door.

"I want to ask about what happened between Bronya and I this afternoon. How much did you hear?"

"I didn't hear anything, but Delta, you sounded a little intense."

Rita continued to stir the barbecue as if she didn't care, and occasionally put a piece of it on the plate for Xu Qi and Delta.

……

Delta dipped the meat in some sauce and ate a piece of meat to fill his stomach.

"Bronya and I...were probably the first employees to join ETStudio right after it became famous."

Xu Qi nodded, he knew this.

“The reason for choosing ETStudio at that time was simple, because Alahato 0079 is our childhood.”

"Is it the Alahato with Kallen and Otto?"

"Yes, yes, have you seen it?"

Xu Qi joked, "The legs are just decorations. The big shots sitting on them won't understand."

Delta smiled knowingly.

"It's not over yet! It's just that the main camera was knocked off!"

The two looked at each other and immediately couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After laughing, Delta calmed down and continued, “When we joined the company, Alahato Z had already been completed.

At that time, I was just a small production manager, and Bronya was just a performance assistant. ETStudio at that time did not have such a luxurious office building as it does today.

It was just a simple bungalow. At that time, Mr. Walter only had to do a good job of supervision. At that time..."

Delta took a deep breath and blew directly into the bottle before continuing.

"At that time, everyone was very simple. Everyone was focused on making a good animation... How to adjust the background color? Can the storyboard be more impactful? The tension of the original painting, the sense of movement...

Everyone always argues over small details, which makes it hard for me as a production manager. After all, I have to push for progress.

But what can I say? I would rather be a little tired, schedule as much time as possible, and give them enough notice in advance... than have them rush to complete their tasks.

Every time I see them arguing about whether this animation can be made better, although I feel anxious, but actually... I feel very relieved.

You don't know, Xu Qi, Bronya was already very domineering at that time."

"Ugh?"

"She was just a performance assistant, but she dared to point out problems with the performance, and even with Walter's supervision! And she criticized them without mercy.

To be honest, I was worried at that time whether she would be fired the next day because of her left foot entering the company. "

Xu Qi couldn't help laughing.

"But you know what happened later."

……

Alahato ZZ sales plummeted...

"I chose to stay in the company and continue to work as a production manager, while Bronya chose to change jobs. She went to a larger animation company at the time and became a full-time producer.

From performing, he became a supervisor. Then, miraculously, he became the president of that company... As for what happened later...

You should have heard of it, right? Alahato X. "

Xu Qi had a strange look on his face. Of course he had heard about it. It was Miss Rita who told him.

In order to allow Director Walter to focus on storyboarding, he was locked up in a small dark room...

"That's the only solution. The reason I dare to do this is because... Bronya is here."

There was a hint of reminiscence in Delta's eyes.

“I told Bronya about the company’s difficulties, and she resigned from her previous position as president and joined ETStudio without any hesitation.

At that time, Bronya was in charge of all the affairs of the company. I have to say that she seemed like a completely different person after she left for a few years.

Be it his skills or his abilities, they are both first-rate and terrifying.

And, just when we all thought that Mr. Walter would be replaced by Bronya...she chose to hand over her job to Walter and took over Mr. Walter's banner.

I am now the sole supervisor of the IP for the Alahato project at ETStudio.”

……

Looking at the stunned Xu Qi in front of him, Delta smiled proudly and said, "You've never heard of these inside stories, right? At least at that time, I felt that she still liked Alahato."

"Then why did you ask this afternoon..."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xu Qi quickly covered his mouth, but it was too late...

Delta smiled slyly, pointed at Xu Qi and said, "You still say you didn't overhear what was said?"

Xu Qi smiled bitterly.

Delta didn't care, she blew another bottle of wine and said.

"Because I think she is following in Mr. Walter's footsteps."

"Ok?"

"Bronya has been in the upper class for a long time. Once you hold power for too long, it's hard not to be affected by it.

Didn't Mr. Walter want to finish ZZ seriously? But he had no choice...

I'm worried... I'm worried that Bronya will be like Walter, only concerned with the development of the company and the struggle between factions...

But we are making animations, right? Making an animation better is what we should consider!

Since you have chosen the position of supervisor, you must carry it out to the end, you idiot!"

……

Xu Qi and Rita looked at each other and sighed.

Delta put the bottle aside and burped.

"Sorry, I'm drunk. I also know that she is the president of ET Studio after all. Her position and perspective are different from ours. Maybe this is the world of adults... It's always filled with so much helplessness."

……

Taking the initiative to open a bottle of wine for Delta, Xu Qi thought for a moment and said in a gentle voice.

"Delta's concerns are indeed not without reason, but... I have a different opinion."

"Ok?"

"If Bronya really no longer likes animation and Alaharto, then... she wouldn't have taken over Mr. Walter's banner and continued to do so until now."

Delta was stunned.

"I think she must have something in her heart, and she still holds on to that original dream, so she has always been committed to this industry...

But it is true as Delta said, she is the president of the company after all, and there are some things that cannot be pushed away."

"..."

239. This time he really refuses to change.

"Why don't you try to give Bronya more time and trust? Besides... Delta should be considered her best friend, I think... Bronya's mood right now must not be very good."

……

Delta took a sip of his wine and suddenly sneered.

"It seems... I don't know Bronya as well as you do."

"No, no, no! I didn't mean that..."

"Okay, no need to comfort me, I understand..." Delta stood up and breathed a sigh of relief. "It's just that I can't change my opinion that easily."

"Of course, Ms. Delta, I have no intention of changing anything. I just want to say something on behalf of Supervisor Bronya."

"Feeling sorry for her?"

Xu Qi was stunned, neither nodding nor shaking his head.

Do you feel sad? ——It seems that I do feel a little bit…

After all, Xu Qi could see that Bronya really didn't have many friends. If even Delta couldn't understand her... how sad she would be...

"I'll try to look more, but!..."

Delta's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"If Bronya falls into the same predicament as Mr. Walter did, I will definitely not pity her, because she would only be considered a traitor."

……

"Well, the meat is getting cold, don't you guys plan to fill your stomach first?"

Rita's words startled both of them, and then they smiled at each other.

Xu Qi quickly picked up his chopsticks and said, "Indeed, after hearing so much, I'm almost hungry."

"You didn't ask for it?"

Dinner finally ended in a lively atmosphere.

On the way back, Xu Qi called a designated driver for Delta. Although Delta was not drunk at all, Xu Qi did not want to see him in prison the next day.

On the street, Rita let out a long sigh as she watched the other person leave.

"How gentle, Xu Qi..."

"Uh...huh?"

"I mean, your attitude towards Miss Bronya... so gentle... makes me a little jealous."

Xu Qi scratched his head and smiled shyly: "Is there?"

"Well... of course. But one thing is certain, Mr. Xu Qi is definitely not the kind of male protagonist in light novels who is good for nothing except being gentle."

"Why do I feel like you've reduced the protagonist of a light novel to something worthless?"

"Xu Qi..."
