They don't actually think I like them, do they?

So, now, Eriri, as depicted by Coffee Sauce, can be described as "overwhelmingly powerful"!

They finally understood why only coffee sauce truly understood their role.

Looking at the tsundere Eriri on the screen, everyone who loves "Saekano" has only one thought in their mind—

　If we can't see Eriri come back to life like this, then what's the point of making an anime?

After the initial surprise, the office fell silent.

Since the outcome was already obvious, all that remained was for the key figures to make the final decision.

　After remaining silent for a very long time, the square-framed man finally gritted his teeth.

"I'm sorry, Coffee Teacher, I was being superficial."

The party that was first insulted is now the one apologizing.

Faced with such an avant-garde art style, Fangkuangnan, a veteran concept artist, was filled with shock and unparalleled admiration.

"Your painting is indeed superior to mine; it's truly superb, but..."

The man in the square frame didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood.

Now, redesigning the character settings means scrapping all previous work and starting from scratch, which will not only be a nightmare for the production team but will also significantly increase costs.

In particular, the coffee sauce's design is extremely detailed, which would significantly increase the production cost.

Money, money, money, it's all about money!

Is this project worth the animation team's immense effort and dedication? What if they lose everything?

All eyes were on Hanako. With such a huge responsibility, no one dared to offer any opinions. Whatever decision was made, the person in charge would ultimately have to take the blame.

　Hanako sat in the chair, lost in thought for a very long time.

She faced not only funding issues, but also concerns about whether the production team would become resentful and slack off due to the need to redo the project. These difficulties seemed to suggest that sticking to the status quo was the best option.

　Finally, she sighed and said with a wry smile,

　"Do you remember who we traded this work for?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback.

How could I not know?

This was a product obtained by trading for Tianwang orange jam.

Everyone is still waiting to see the production team make a fool of themselves.

"Nobody has any faith in us, to be honest, I don't have any faith in us myself," Hanako said. "But as long as we do our best and are true to ourselves, I think that's enough."

Hanako paused, then continued.

"Is it really 'trying my best' to ignore a clearly superior solution? If it fails in the end, I'll definitely regret it! So..."

Hanako raised her head, looked at the astonished employees, and said in a resounding voice.

"I'll figure out the money! Let's stick to the persona of the coffee teacher!"

　"Since we've started, let's make it the best in the world!!"

012. How can they be so similar?

In the office, Lin Han and Xu Hui watched Hanako's motivational speech up close.

Xu Hui was moved to tears and looked at Lin Han, who also showed a relieved expression.

It seems that choosing Bilibili was the right decision.

Just as the editor-in-chief said to Lin Han when he first introduced the topic.

Because Bilibili has nothing, they take things extra seriously.

Maybe they really can create a miracle.

......

Before leaving, Hanako saw Lin Han and Xu Hui off at the elevator.

"Coffee teacher, you've worked hard today. I only asked you to supervise, but I didn't expect you to be in charge of the character design as well," Hanako said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It was just a small favor, but it's been hard on you all. The original artwork will have to be redone," Lin Han said.

"It's okay, it wasn't me who drew it anyway."

"What did you say?"

"Ah, I mean, it's all worth it to make this anime a success," Hanako said seriously.

Just then, the elevator door opened.

Just as Lin Han was about to go in, he looked up and saw a familiar face.

Chen Yi, Director of the Music Department.

This is an old face. When Lin Han first arrived at Baijing, he handled all the work with him.

Lin Han's expression froze instantly, but he could only force himself to remain calm and walk into the elevator.

"Hey, Old Chen!" Hua Zi waved and greeted the newcomer.

"Sister Hua," Chen Yi replied with a smile, indicating that the two had a good relationship.

The four of them stood together in the elevator, which began to descend.

"Where is Sister Hua going?"

"See the coffee teacher off."

"Coffee Teacher? Is that the author of 'Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend'?"

As Chen Yi spoke, he turned to look at Lin Han.

Lin Han stood in the corner of the elevator, looking down at his phone.

"Coffee Teacher".

Hanako raised her hand and gently patted Lin Han's shoulder.

Lin Han reluctantly raised his head and met Chen Yi's gaze.

"Ah, yes, that's me."

Chen Yi looked at Lin Han, his brows furrowing instantly.

"This is Director Chen from our music department," Hanako introduced.

"Hello." Lin Han extended his hand cooperatively.

"Hello, Coffee Teacher, I've heard so much about you." Chen Yi shook hands with Lin Han politely.

However, after shaking hands, Chen Yi's brows furrowed even deeper, his eyes fixed on Lin Han.

Seemingly noticing this oddity, Hanako chuckled and teased,

"What's wrong, Lao Chen? Are you also smitten by Coffee Teacher's good looks? You've never seen such a handsome light novel author before, have you?"

"No, I just feel like I've seen Coffee Teacher somewhere before."

"That can't be right, this is Coffee Teacher's first time visiting the Bilibili building."

"......"

Just then, the elevator arrived at the first floor.

Lin Han's wildly beating heart finally calmed down a bit. As soon as the door opened, he immediately pulled Xu Hui along and quickly walked out of the elevator.

Then, Lin Han turned to Hanako and said,

"Miss Hanako, that's enough for you. We'll be going now!"

"it is good."

As soon as Hanako agreed, Lin Han disappeared without a trace.

This coffee teacher is really unpredictable.

Hanako smiled, then turned her head and saw Chen Yi still in a daze.

Chen Yi stared blankly at Lin Han's departing figure, lost in thought.

Hanako stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes.

"Hey Lao Chen, you're not after coffee sauce, are you?"

"I must have seen him before."

Chen Yi said earnestly,

“We artists have a very strong ability to observe people. We will remember anyone we have met, no matter what they look like now.”

Who is it...?

Chen Yi seemed to be deep in thought.

Suddenly, he slapped his forehead.

"I remembered."

"He looks exactly like Marmalade!!"

Upon hearing this, Hanako was taken aback.

Then, he burst out laughing.

"Coffee Teacher is indeed handsome, but he's completely different from Orange God, okay? Is that why you've been staring at him for so long??"

Hanako couldn't stop laughing. Seeing Chen Yi's serious expression, she thought something had happened, but it turned out to be such an absurd thing.

“It really does look incredibly similar! Even though he’s wearing glasses, those eyes are totally Teacher Ju’s eyes!” Chen Yi said.

Chen Yi's repeated affirmations made Hanako start to think about it with great interest.

Orange Jam is known for his low profile in the industry. He rarely accepts endorsements or appears on variety shows, and seldom participates in offline events. Very few people have actually had any contact with him.

Although he is a superstar in terms of fame, in the eyes of most industry insiders, Orange Jam is still a mysterious and unknown figure.

Chen Yi is one of the very few people who have had contact with Orange Jam.

Although Juzi Jiang had a studio on Bilibili before, most of the employees could only catch a glimpse of her from afar and had no right to speak to her, let alone have any contact with her.

It's fair to say that Chen Yi is the only one on Bilibili who has actually been in contact with Orange Jam for a period of time.

Hanako thought about it carefully for a while, but in the end, she couldn't help but laugh again.

"Wait, wait, wait, you're not suggesting that coffee sauce and orange marmalade are the same person, are you?"

"You don't mean to say that the work we paid a huge price for with marmalade is actually just marmalade in return, do you?"

"I didn't say that." Chen Yi felt a little guilty after being accused.

"Hahaha, if this is true, wouldn't we be the idiots who were completely fooled by Orange Jam? Tomorrow's trending topic will be Bilibili is the world's number one complainer!"

Hanako patted Chen Yi on the shoulder with a smile. Anyone with a modicum of common sense would know that such a thing was impossible.

How can someone be both a top star in the entertainment industry and a super popular light novel author?

After Hanako finished speaking, she turned and left.

Chen Yi pondered for a while, then turned around and stopped Hanako.

“I still feel there’s something fishy about this. I need to investigate the origin of this coffee sauce.”

"Fine, fine, go ahead and check! Honestly!" Hanako said, arms crossed, annoyed. "If these two are the same person, next time Coffee Teacher comes, I'll just push him down!"

......

After working on his novel for several days in a row, Lin Han finally got a chance to catch his breath.

He knew that music alone could only have a limited impact on the world's arts and culture; there would always be people who didn't listen to songs or who were unwilling to listen to new ones.

To break through the limits, you need to open up new avenues, write novels, sell copyrights, adapt them into film and animation, and create a major IP. This is essential.

Therefore, Lin Han firmly believes that his efforts were worthwhile.

After resting for two days, Lin Han received a WeChat message.

Upon seeing this message, Lin Hanhu's body trembled.
