We moved to Golden Courtyard

"I think boys should take good care of themselves when they are out and about."

"what?"

"Sister Tazi."

"What kind of idiotic terms are these?"

Xu Qi ignored Delta's complaints and said to himself, "There shouldn't be anything going on this morning."

"Don't worry, these past two days have been mostly meetings related to production, and the animators have already started working on their own cuts. I also need to submit a schedule for the production of the first episode for your review."

Xu Qi nodded, and in this way, everything was on the right track.

"But speaking of which, what did you do last night? You need to take half a day off today."

"I was farming last night."

"what?"

"Let's play games!" Xu Qi was indeed playing a game—a first-person shooter, and the boss was his girlfriends...!

"How old are you? How can you oversleep while playing video games?"

"You're right, but Genshin Impact 4.0 was released last night, and I want to play..."

"Get out of here, OP!"

Delta rolled her eyes and took a deep breath.

"In short, get the rest of the script out as soon as possible. This way, the supervisor can better plan when to create the storyboard. That's how animation production works. Before the storyboard is finished, it's always a slow process."

Later, we can rely on the production team's efficient scheduling to create a time gap, but the production of the script and storyboard is something that can't be done in a similar way.

Xu Qi nodded in agreement.

Just as Delta had said, nothing major had happened in the past two days. Apart from massaging Bronya, which was expected to become a regular activity in the future, Xu Qi's own progress was also quite encouraging.

Not to mention the third episode, even the script for the fourth episode was rushed out.

Moreover, Bronya's progress was incredibly fast. Xu Qi watched as Bronya, who was being kneaded and massaged by him, blushed and produced the storyboard for the second episode at lightning speed.

According to Xu Qi's calculations, it should only take another half a day at most to complete.

"I'll finish the rest at home when I go back this weekend."

Bronya stretched, while Xu Qi picked up the completed section and began to read it carefully—it has to be said... it's really quite good.

After all, the second episode involves Kira's first battle piloting the Strike Alahato, and the visual tension and dynamism can be seen from the storyboard.

The storyboard design is truly outstanding...

"You're really amazing, Director Bronya... Just this storyboard alone has already made me incredibly excited for episode two."

Hearing Xu Qi's praise, Bronya couldn't help but smile.

What about you? What are your plans for the weekend?

"Going out with friends."

"Is she your girlfriend?"

……

Actually, that's not the case... but Xu Qi felt that if he revealed Rita's name, Bronya would definitely kill him, so it was better to just agree for the time being.

"I was quite surprised when Mei called yesterday to ask for leave for you."

"Ok?"

"That girl must still be in college... She's very brave. Not everyone can make that call."

This is true.

“In the future, I will definitely be your good wife… But speaking of which, there is a full six years difference between you two! It’s a bit hard to imagine.”

Xu Qi couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's so hard to imagine? Age isn't the issue; the real issue is whether each other is willing to work hard for that age difference."

Bronya's expression froze, her eyes fixed on Xu Qi, lost in thought.

Xu Qi, however, was still looking at the storyboard for the second episode, so he didn't notice and just continued talking.

"Speaking of which, when I met Mei, she was still in high school. Life is so unpredictable. Who would have thought that the girl who was just a little kid in my eyes back then would grow up to be what she is today?"

"And you two are together."

"Correct."

"So, the reason I took the day off yesterday morning was because I slept with her last night..."

"Cough! Cough cough! Um... why is Bronya asking this?"

"Isn't curiosity allowed?"

Why would anyone be curious about this?!

Xu Qi sighed softly, rubbing his forehead.

"Then it seems you won't be able to spend the weekend with me."

"what?"

"It's nothing, you can leave now. You're just getting in the way."

Seeing Bronya's sudden change in expression and tone, Xu Qi scratched his head—he realized that his boss was truly unpredictable.

I don't even know what I said that offended the other person.

Seeing Xu Qi leave the office, Bronya sighed softly—actually, she didn't want to get angry, but…

Bronya was quite familiar with Mei. Mei was a very gentle and beautiful girl. Although she was still a college student, she already had a virtuous temperament and a graceful figure. She was the dream girl of many men.

Xu Qi has such a beautiful girlfriend, and the two even slept together. Without a doubt, this guy must want to...

Thinking of this, Bronya blushed involuntarily.

After all, it's still summer, and everyone is wearing relatively light clothing. Bronya can tell at a glance that Xu Qi's physique is incredibly strong!

I really don't know how Mei's thin little body can withstand it.

If it were me...

Bronya's face flushed instantly! She quickly shook her head, trying to banish all these random thoughts.

What...what a joke! How could I have such thoughts? Xu Qi is practically a married man now, no...no...that's just too much, absolutely not!

217. The Day of My Date with Miss Rita

On Saturday morning, Xu Qi and Rita arranged to meet at Jinqiao in Shanghai, where the largest Alahatto-themed base in the city is located.

To be honest, although Xu Qi has always liked Alahato, he doesn't go there often.

On the one hand, the journey was quite long, and on the other hand... there were some unpleasant memories.

Rita's choice to hold their date at Jinqiao wasn't particularly surprising to Xu Qi. Of course, there's no need to misunderstand; a date doesn't necessarily refer to a romantic relationship.

A simple friendship is also possible.

From Xu Qi's perspective, at least, he did maintain a purely professional relationship with Rita, the general affairs secretary. She was a secretary with exceptionally good work skills.

So when Mei asked him about it when he left home in the morning, he answered her very naturally.

"Oh, it's Miss Rita, the one you called last time."

Startled, Mei didn't care that she wasn't dressed yet in the early morning and sat up straight out of bed!

"You said you're going to see her? Hmm... Is anyone else with you?"

"Um... there shouldn't be any, it's just the two of us."

Mei's expression changed drastically!

"Xu Qi! You!..."

Xu Qi quickly waved his hand and explained, "You misunderstood Mei, you misunderstood. I think Rita, the general affairs manager, was planning to help me integrate into the work more quickly, which is why she asked me out on the weekend."

Although Xu Qi himself didn't believe what he said, he still had to bite the bullet and explain it to Mei.

After all, she's a jealous girl. If I don't explain things properly, she might drag me back to bed and roll around in bed for half a day before she'll let me go.

Hmm... but it seems pretty good?

Kidney: No, that's terrible.

In short, Xu Qi had to use all his persuasive skills to finally convince Mei that she and Rita weren't going out to pick up girls.

"Then you'd better go early and come back early, and you're not allowed to stay out overnight!"

Xu Qi was both amused and exasperated. He hugged Mei Yi tighter in his arms and explained.

"Don't worry, my little darling, it's really not what you think. We were just talking about work, nothing more. Besides, you've met Rita, do you think she'd be interested in me?"

"You're not allowed to say that!"

"Forehead?"

Before Xu Qi could even process what she had said that had provoked such a strong reaction from Mei, she heard her say, "It's stupid of her to look down on you! You're the best, Xu Qi."

Xu Qi felt a warmth in his heart. He pressed his forehead against Mei's and gave her a final kiss.

"Okay, then I'll go and come back as soon as possible, so don't worry."

……

In short, to make it easier to meet, Xu Qi drove to Rita's apartment complex about ten minutes early.

Xu Qi didn't rush to text Rita to let her know he had arrived. He planned to wait until the agreed time to text her. After all, his date was a woman, and it was common sense to take some time to get ready before going out.

But... it seems that Rita is also a woman with a strong sense of time.

Xu Qi didn't even have to wait long before a stylish woman calmly walked out of the apartment.

The other party was clearly surprised when they saw Xu Qi.

Of course... perhaps Xu Qi should be the one who feels the most amazed.

The black off-the-shoulder mini dress has a strong British style, while the chest area is dyed with bright white, and the contrast between black and white makes both of them stand out.

It belongs to the colorful black and white.

What intrigued Xu Qi even more were the pair of black knee-high boots and the beret.

When Rita slowly walked up to Xu Qi, he didn't even notice her full breasts, which were made more prominent and perfect by the white fabric on her chest. Instead, his gaze was entirely focused on the simple beret.

"It seems Manager Xu really likes Rita's outfit today."

"Indeed... uh! Wasn't that a bit reckless?"

Rita smiled and shook her head.

She could tell that Xu Qi was simply appreciating and commenting on beauty, and there was no other negative emotion in his eyes.

As soon as the gentleman helped Rita open the door, Xu Qi revealed that he wasn't driving his GTR today, but rather a low-key S7 from Eden's underground parking garage.

Um... it seems like they're not exactly low-key either.

Once they were in the car, Rita finally couldn't help but tease, "Manager Xu usually drives a GTR to work, but on weekends he drives an Audi to pick up girls. His family is quite wealthy."

"The car belongs to my sister. I'm just borrowing it temporarily to make a show of it."

Hearing Xu Qi's honest words, Rita couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

"Rita, don't call me Manager Xu anymore, just call me Xu Qi. Didn't I say we should be more casual with each other, after all, we're colleagues?"

"That's true, but I'm also afraid that you'll make things difficult for me, Xu Qi..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Xu Qi with a pitiful look, her big, watery eyes truly making her look incredibly endearing.

This woman... it's a shame she doesn't go into acting.

But Xu Qi wasn't buying it; he already knew pretty much what kind of woman Rita was.

"Is Miss Rita British?"

"Ok?"

Taking off her beret and setting it aside, Rita asked curiously, "Master Xu... how did Mr. Xu Qi figure that out? Manchester, that's my hometown."
