We moved to Golden Courtyard

But if this position is given to someone who can't uphold their principles, then all the pressure will fall on Bronya alone, leaving her to fight a battle all by herself...

And now, she has Xu Qi.

"Oh, by the way, do you know her? This is Ms. Shigure Kira."

Bronya asked the question seemingly unintentionally.

"know."

"Oh, I don't know you, and I don't mean...wait? You do know me!?"

Xu Qi nodded solemnly.

"Yes, I know her, but Supervisor, please believe me, I absolutely would not!..."

"Alright, alright~~" Bronya patted Xu Qi's chest teasingly, "I didn't say you were nepotistic, but even if you lied just now, I won't blame you."

"no!"

Xu Qi shook his head firmly.

"As the supervisor, I'm basically on the same side as the manager all the time. What we must do is trust each other completely and without reservation! If I lie to you, Bronya, I'm not only betraying you, but also betraying myself."

……

Bronya pursed her lips, and her usually calm face flushed slightly.

"Oh... I feel like... you're describing... the relationship between husband and wife..."

"Hmm? What did you just say, Inspector Bronya?"

……

"No! It's nothing! I was just calling you an idiot!"

"what?"

After uttering that abrupt and nonsensical remark, Bronya puffed out her cheeks and walked away, not forgetting to point at Xu Qi before leaving and say, "Will your girlfriend bring you food later?"

"Um... I guess so..."

"Come to my office after you've finished eating! I've been sitting for too long lately, and my neck isn't feeling too comfortable. Come over and give me a massage later!"

Xu Qi: ? ? ?

Xu Qi... Xu Qi suddenly began to wonder if she would also end up engaging in "pillow talk" (a euphemism for sexual activity)...

No way...

206. Why is it the office again?

Around noon, Xu Qi, still in his office, received Alicia's lunch delivery. He realized that Alicia and Mei must have some kind of agreement, taking turns delivering meals...

"Did you sleep with Mei yesterday?"

Sitting in Xu Qi's lap, Ai Li pouted and said with great dissatisfaction.

“I was the one serving you when I came over that day, but when it was Mei who came, it became you serving her… and that night you were taken advantage of by the professor.”

Xu Qi was both amused and exasperated. He gently pinched Ai Li's little nose and said, "Little glutton... are you really that greedy? You always cry and beg me to stop doing it."

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and then, as if expressing her dissatisfaction, Alicia squirmed in Xu Qi's arms.

"Huh? Don't move, don't move..."

Ellie raised an eyebrow in confusion, narrowed her eyes, and grinned, saying, "You...you're getting aroused, aren't you?"

Holding the chubby Ellie tightly in his arms to stop her from moving around, Xu Qi kissed the back of her neck, making the girl burst into uncontrollable laughter.

"Since you know that, you'd better behave yourself, understand? Otherwise, you'll be in for a world of hurt tonight!"

"I think you just treat me like a giant body pillow? All you do is bully me, you mean Xu Qi."

Xu Qi didn't refute, holding Ai Li in one arm while looking at the schedule Rita had just given him with the other. Now that the storyboard for the first episode was finished, they would begin formal production immediately.

Before that, there are naturally many meetings to attend. Bronya hopes that Xu Qi can come and participate, or at least sit in on the proceedings.

Seeing this, Ellie became somewhat dissatisfied again.

This guy... can he even work while hugging himself?

I feel like my charm as a beautiful girl has been challenged.

Ellie leaned back and, taking advantage of Xu Qi's inattention, bit his ear.

"Hiss!~~"

Xu Qi quickly glared at Ai Li and slapped her thigh.

"Don't move, I'm busy."

Hmph! Fine, I'll move then!

Seemingly sensing what Ai Li was thinking, Xu Qi narrowed his eyes and curled the corners of his mouth, but didn't say anything more.

Airi's outfit today is quite interesting, just like Mei's yesterday, except instead of pleats, it's a pink long dress.

Well... the reason I say the same is because our thinking is similar.

As Xu Qi glanced at the schedule in his hand, he seemingly casually lifted Alicia's skirt and slipped inside...

"!"

It doesn't feel as firm as Mei's; instead, it's very soft and tender, giving it a fleshy feel that makes it quite irresistible.

Ellie's face flushed instantly. She glanced at Xu Qi behind her, her bright eyes filled with tears, as if she could burst into tears at any moment.

Before Ellie could even speak, Xu Qi dialed the landline on his desk—this phone was connected to the internal telephone line, which went directly to Rita outside.

"Hello? This is Rita Losweiser."

Xu Qi turned on speakerphone.

“Miss Rita, there’s no need to be so formal. You should know it’s me.”

Sitting on Xu Qi's lap, Ai Li couldn't help but glare at her naughty boyfriend. Who... would put a phone call on speakerphone at a time like this? It's like... even calling out is impossible...

Just as he was thinking this, Xu Qi's hand became even more excessive.

Left with no other choice, Alicia could only close her thighs tightly to prevent him from probing further.

"Manager Xu, I hope you haven't forgotten what happened yesterday."

Xu Qi fell silent, and Ai Li was also slightly puzzled—yesterday? What happened yesterday?

"Okay, here's the thing, I see that the upcoming schedule is mostly meetings related to production, so I wanted to ask what I need to do?"

As he spoke, he took his hand out.

With Ellie's meager strength, how could she possibly resist him? Besides... Ellie herself didn't really want to resist.

And so, they arrived at that even more unspeakable place, and the moment they touched, Ellie couldn't help but let out a soft moan!

Fortunately, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

"The main purpose is to familiarize you with the overall process and give you a general framework of the requirements for each step... Manager Xu, was there any sound just now?"

"Oh, it's nothing, Rita, you might have misheard. Please continue."

"Ok."

"no, do not want……"

A whisper like a mosquito's whimper rang in Xu Qi's ear, and Xu Qi said to Alicia, "Weren't you very arrogant just now?"

"Um...I was wrong..."

"Too late..."

First, he unbuttoned the back of the shirt, then easily grasped the fruit that Xu Qi had longed for in his hand, gently and slowly picking at it...

"Well!!"

"Moreover, as a screenwriter, Director Xu's opinion is very important, and Director Bronya has a habit of asking for the opinions of non-professionals... Director Xu, what's wrong? There seems to be some noise over there."

"Is there?"

"Please don't make fun of me, Manager Xu."

Rita's usually gentle voice now clearly carried a hint of anger.

"It's nothing, I just have a cat in my office and I'm playing with her... Ms. Rita, please continue, don't worry, I'm listening."

At this moment, Alicia still had her legs straight. Sitting in Xu Qi's lap, her face was already flushed. She reached into her mouth, trying to put something in her mouth to keep herself from making a sound.

And this posture... is just like that bright and pure flower, gradually tinged with a hint of decadence, becoming chaotic and disordered...

"Really? Then you remembered everything I just said?"

"Yes, I think the supervisor also believes that the feelings that ordinary people get from their most direct experiences are often more valuable than the feelings given by the creators."

We make animation for a general audience, not for creators. Self-indulgence won't work; you have to create works that the public can enjoy.

He really didn't just give me a perfunctory answer?

Rita frowned. Had she really misunderstood him? Was Xu Qi actually working diligently?

Thinking about it carefully, whenever I went to his office these past few days, except when his girlfriend came over at noon, he was always in a very serious state.

A woman as beautiful as herself would not speak frivolously or act recklessly...

Perhaps I have misunderstood the other person...

Thinking this, Rita couldn't help but slightly curl up her lips. Even she herself didn't know why, but she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief because of this misunderstanding of Xu Qi.

He seemed to be expressing his relief—thankfully, he wasn't such a dissolute person.

"Well!"

"Ahem! Ahem! Um... Miss Rita, thank you for telling me all this. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

……

Outside the office, Ms. Rita slowly put the phone back down. If this were an anime… her head would probably be covered in tic-tac-toe marks…

Xu Qi...you bastard who plays with women!!

207. Ms. Rita believes that Xu Qi can still be saved.

After lunch, I took the opportunity to have some fun with Alicia, who had come to me for help.

To be honest, if Rita hadn't come knocking on the door, Xu Qi felt he could have played a little longer... He felt like he was being spoiled by his girlfriend.

"Manager Xu."

Rita, who had taken Xu Qi to the meeting, finally couldn't maintain her usual composed demeanor and said with a hint of helplessness and annoyance.

"You should also know that this is the company's premises, right?"

"Yes...that's right."

Why hesitate for so long!

Rita felt that if she continued working with Xu Qi, she would definitely have to apply for compensation for emotional distress.

It's so mentally taxing.

"Then please be a little mindful. You can do whatever you want after get off work, but this is working hours. And aren't you afraid that one day your two girlfriends will run into each other in the same car?"

First, it's not just two people; second, we're not afraid...

Xu Qi felt that if he really said that, Rita probably wouldn't be able to suppress her urge to kill him...

"Hmm... Rita, the general affairs manager, is right."

"Pretty well-behaved?" This was something Rita hadn't expected; she had thought Xu Qi would be more frivolous.

Rita stopped and let out a long sigh.

"Miss Rita?"

Rita looked around in the company corridor. There was no one else around, and the surrounding rooms were all warehouses.

She turned around gracefully, and even though she was annoyed, her expression was only a slight furrowing of her brows.
