Moved to Golden Courtyard

"Not bad. Luckily the professor is not here because he is debugging some new stuff. Otherwise, with three of us, I would probably only be able to come here at noon today."

Rita giggled sweetly. It was hard to imagine that Xu Qi would be in such an embarrassing situation.

"Who told you to find so many girlfriends?"

"Yeah... The fact that my body can hold on until now can only be attributed to the miracle created by the professor."

Rita spat softly.

Obviously he also remembered Xu Qi's madness that night.

This kid... when it comes to doing that thing, there's really no end to it.

"I heard from Delta that you are going to meet Director Yang tonight?"

"Well, what? Are you trying to persuade me not to go, too?"

Putting the tea in front of Xu Qi, I felt that if Rita continued to support me like this, I would really become a useless master who only had everything he wanted...

"Since the master has made the decision, Rita will of course support it."

"What do you think?"

Standing next to Xu Qi, Rita slightly adjusted her bangs and smiled.

"Director Yang suffered a great defeat at the handover meeting. He must have tried to get back at the old master's side no matter what. Otherwise, his prestige as the third director will be gone."

Xu Qi thought of Liu Yizhi.

He was also a proud person...but the scene yesterday, which was almost like being forced to kneel by someone, really left Xu Qi with a lot of trauma.

That Liu Yizhi must be just a discarded pawn that Director Yang used to maintain his prestige.

Sister Ying said that in private enterprises, especially large enterprises, where people are eaten without leaving any bones, you have to learn to be ruthless.

This is also a completely different workplace atmosphere from that of state-owned enterprises.

"What do you think he's going to say?"

"Since it's a treat, of course... I have to use both kindness and force. I have to show you my muscles, but I also have to extend an olive branch."

"Olive branch?"

“Now everyone in the company knows that you are President Bronya’s man, and you are the most determined and sharpest blade in her hand.

If... Director Yang can get this blade in his own hands, it will not only be a manifestation of prestige, but also the most powerful counterattack against President Bronya. "

"So the old guy's target wasn't me from the beginning." Xu Qi looked deep in his eyes and tapped the table with his fingers. "His goal was quite clear..."

"During the Alahato ZZ period, Bronya took over all matters of the company, and at that time, Director Yang was the second director of the company."

Xu Qi showed curiosity. After all, he was just a new employee and knew very little about the history of ETStudio.

"Originally, when Mr. Walter got into trouble, it was the best time for him to become the chairman. Unexpectedly... Bronya showed up halfway and not only hindered his ascension, but also squeezed out his original position.

But later, Mr. Walter privately invited the two of them to dinner together. At least it seemed that they had reconciled their differences. Director Yang even had the intention of lowering his status. "

"In fact, it was just a disguise to succumb to the situation. After all, at that time, Bronya saved the company from danger, and everyone saw it."

Rita nodded.

"From a hindsight perspective, we can indeed draw such a conclusion."

"He has been silent for so many years. If Liu Yizhi is the only card he has prepared, it would be too shabby... We may have underestimated this man."

"Then, Master, do you still plan to go?"

Xu Qi pulled Rita into his arms and had a good time with her.

"Go... Of course I have to go! And I have to go! We are in the animation industry, not in politics, but someone has to take responsibility for this kind of thing, who else but me?"

320. It's just Bronya! Get her!

Huangpu River, Riverside Hotel

When Xu Qi got out of the car, he looked at the tall building in front of him, and then looked inside the main entrance into the lobby. It was full of jewels and was magnificent... It was indeed high-end.

Delta got out of the car and stood beside Xu Qi, looking a little dazed.

"Eating here tonight?"

"What? What's the problem?"

"There is a problem. A big problem."

Xu Qi looked at Delta with a squinting eye. Why? When did ETStudio become a state-owned enterprise? We still need to prevent corruption in small and micro enterprises, right? The problem is that this is definitely not a "small and micro enterprise"...

"No... This place is obviously a place only rich people come to. I've never been here before! I'm a little nervous, isn't it?!"

"What's there to be nervous about? It's just a meal, right?"

Delta glanced at Xu Qi sideways.

"That's easy to say. Why? Have you been here before?"

“I’ve been to something similar.”

With that, the receptionist drove Xu Qi's GTR to the garage. Oh... this guy might be, it seems, very rich, at least he has seen a lot of the world.

"So what should we pay attention to next?"

Xu Qi thought about the time when he went out to eat with Sister Yidian, and the things he should pay attention to...

"Some dishes are hard to eat, so you have to bear with it."

Delta tilted his head——???

Is there no dining etiquette? Like what to say, what to do, where to put the chopsticks, etc.? Or... should I tip?

As if he understood what Delta was thinking, Xu Qi chuckled.

"It doesn't matter. It's just a meal. No matter where it is, a meal is a meal. There are no rules."

Delta narrowed his eyes and sighed.

"...You are open-minded and optimistic."

"There is no such thing as a broad mind. Humans always like to give things a lot of additional meanings, but in fact, eating is just eating, no matter where you eat it, there is nothing special about it."

After hearing Xu Qi's words, Delta couldn't help but relax, and she couldn't help but joke.

“That’s because you have no pressure.”

"Yeah..." Xu Qi looked at the old man who was slowly approaching them, "Because he is the one who should be under pressure."

"Manager Xu, we are honored to have received your distinguished guest. Please forgive me for not welcoming you in person."

"Director Yang, you are joking. I am just the director of an animation project, and you are the third director of the company. You are not a distinguished guest at all."

The two looked at each other, smiling but with cold eyes.

Delta looked left and right, and suddenly felt that there was no need for her to be nervous, because the protagonist today was not her, but these two...

As for talking about yourself?

According to Xu Qi, the money for dinner was saved.

"I asked Manager Xu to come here today, not for any other reason, but just to apologize for some mistakes that my subordinates made before. If there is anything that is not thoughtful, Manager Xu is free to point it out at any time."

Director Yang turned slowly and extended his hand.

"Please come in, Manager Xu."

"please."

······

The cold dishes were already on the table, and Director Yang, Xu Qi, and Delta sat down. As for the others... even Director Yang's secretary, who was also his son, retreated to the side.

"Director Yang invited me to dinner today, so I'll be honest. I begged for this position. If you ask for it, you naturally have to take responsibility.

Everyone should do their job and do their job. I personally have no complaints about Director Yang and your subordinate, Manager Liu. On the contrary, I think they are doing the right thing. "

Delta looked left and right but didn't interrupt.

Director Yang laughed and said, "In that case, it is us who have run into trouble."

"Thanks to President Bronya's kindness, I became her subordinate, which means I became a knife in her hand. A good knife should be used to deal with ruthless people."

"Then, Manager Xu, who do you think is the most ruthless person in the company?"

"You are the cruelest."

Xu Qi and Director Yang looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time.

"Hahaha! No problem. Since Manager Xu said that I, Yang, am the most ruthless, we can just be friends from now on and keep out of each other's way. Naturally, you don't have to worry about it."

Xu Qi waved his hand.

"If you become someone else's knife, you must have the corresponding awareness. I can't just let it go for no reason, right? There must be a proper reason."

"Manager Xu said it well. Yang has heard that Manager Xu loves beauties. Putting aside his personal secretary, he also has several girlfriends outside. Isn't that right?"

Xu Qi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said with a smile: "That's right."

"Why don't I give you a reason to be friends with each other."

……

Xu Qi did not respond. At this time, Delta suddenly stood up, poured a glass of wine in front of the two of them and said, "Since Director Yang has an idea, why not... listen and see?"

Xu Qi smiled, raised his glass and said, "Come on! Let's have a drink. After we finish, Director Yang will have a good chat with Xu."

With the clinking of glasses, the atmosphere now feels like a dinner party.

Director Yang put down his wine glass, looked at the silent Xu Qi and Delta, and pronounced a name in the most orthodox Russian pronunciation.

"Bronya"

……

Xu Qi seemed to be holding back his breath, and he let out a few laughs, saying cheerfully, "Director Yang should not have forgotten that President Bronya is my boss."

"It's also your shame."

……

"There are rumors in the company now that you, Xu Qi, are where you are today because you became the president's lover, but what about Manager Xu's methods and efforts? No one can see it... Can you see it?"

Director Yang asked Delta, and the petite company veteran simply shook his head.

"Can't see."

"What's more, with Manager Xu's ambition, being a woman's lover... is not something he would be willing to do. But if, on the other hand, this arrogant CEO falls into the abyss one day... will he beg you, Manager Xu, to help him out?"

Delta glanced at Xu Qi, then at Director Yang, and suddenly poured Director Yang a glass of wine and said with a smile.

"Does that mean that... when that day comes, my immediate boss, Manager Xu, may have already established a firm foothold in the company?"

Delta emphasized the word "boss" a little too much.

Director Yang smiled.

"If I had more friends, I would be able to do it, but I don't know if you... have the courage to do it?"

Delta glanced at Xu Qi who was still silent, and continued with a smile: "Of course we don't have the courage to deal with the president, but... occasionally some news accidentally leaks out, and we can't do anything about it."

"Then don't blame me." Director Yang leaned back in boredom, "I can only blame you... for being useless. But I'm still willing to help you.

I will offer you 18 million, and you just need to watch from the sidelines at the critical moment. After the matter is done, your position will remain unchanged, and I will naturally give you the money."

"boom!"

Xu Qi suddenly slammed the table! Director Yang sat quietly in his seat, which frightened the people around the table. They all stepped forward and stared at Xu Qi.

"No need to take the 18 million! Isn't it just to deal with the president? Let's do it! By then, I'll get both the people and the money, and I'll have another friend like Director Yang in the crowdfunding group ④⑤61②7940, so why not do it?"

Xu Qi spread his hands, as if to hug the entire dining table.

"After the matter is done, I will enjoy my beauty, and Director Yang will become the chairman of the board. In the future, he will be my Xu's backer! By then, the 18 million will be nothing but a drop in the ocean. Do we still care?

Isn’t it just a little Bronya…”

Xu Qi made a vegetable-cutting gesture and said viciously, "Get rid of her!"
