We moved to Golden Courtyard

"No, we certainly wouldn't use this kind of cheap coffee when we entertain guests."

The conference room door suddenly opened, and Xu Qi... dressed in casual clothes, walked in.

There was no way around it; after all, Bronya had told him on his first day at work that they were in animation, not finance, so there was no need to be so formal.

The agent looked at Xu Qi, his brows furrowing, but fortunately, this guy... was probably just a handyman? Someone who poured water? Anyway, what he said suited his taste.

With a smile on his face, just as he was about to display his refined manners as a superior person, he saw this 'errand boy' standing at the door, hands on his hips, smiling.

"But only budget customers would complain about the cheap coffee here."

……

The agent looked at Rita expressionlessly and asked, "Who is he? Throw him out."

……

Rita picked up the coffee in front of her, which Delta had brewed earlier. She took a sip—well, it wasn't anything special, but as a drink, it was quite tasty.

With a slight smile playing on her lips, Rita put down her cup and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Manager, I have no right to do such a thing."

"why?"

“Because I’m her boss.” Xu Qi walked behind Rita, placed his hands on the other’s office chair, and looked directly at the two people in front of him, as if he were Rita’s solid support.

"If Miss Rita doesn't want to be fired the next day for stepping into the company with her left foot, she probably won't be thinking of getting rid of me."

Xu Qi leaned down and whispered in Rita's ear, "She won't get angry at me either."

Rita narrowed her eyes—this kid…

The agent almost burst out laughing. He looked at Xu Qi with a mixture of confusion and disdain and said, "Excuse me, who are you...?"

"My name is Xu Qi, and I'm the head of the Seed project team. I don't know what the future holds, but for now... everyone here is under my jurisdiction."

……

At this moment, Ms. Jiang finally made a move. She took off her sunglasses, revealing her rather beautiful face, and looked directly at Xu Qi.

"Xu Qi... I heard about it. It was you who prevented me from acting..."

Lux.

……

"Lux Klein. Miss Jiang, if you want to get a role, I hope you can remember her name first, because it's very basic."

……

"Can you give me a reason?" Miss Jiang looked at Xu Qi with an icy expression. "The reason why I'm not allowed to record Lux ​​Klein."

"Hmm..." Xu Qi was too lazy to sit down, so he stood directly behind Rita, propped one hand on the back of Rita's chair, thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because you can't remember the character's name?"

The meeting room door was not closed, and a lot of people were gathered outside, including production staff, concept artists, and even Ji Lin and Ai, Bronya's two right-hand women.

As soon as Xu Qi finished speaking, a burst of laughter erupted outside the door.

"Please don't joke around, Mr. Xu Qi. Besides... don't you think it's impolite of us to leave the door open like this, letting everything we're saying get out?"

"Oh, yes, sorry."

Xu Qi walked to the door, and then...

They also opened the door to the other half of the conference room.

"Let's talk again now. I think talking in this environment is conducive to salvaging the qualities that someone is about to lose."

"You!..." The agent slammed his hand on the table! He was about to speak when his gaze fell upon the unfriendly stares of a group of people outside the door...

Xu Qi took a disposable cup, filled it with water from the water dispenser, took a sip, and pointed at the other person.

"You know how to pick up on words."

231. Delta: You looked really cool just now.

His fists were clenched so tightly that the agent was almost driven mad by this bastard named Xu Qi!

"Uh! Delta!"

Xu Qi called out to Delta outside. The girl pointed to herself in confusion, seemingly not understanding why Xu Qi had called her at this moment.

"Could you bring me my breakfast? I was in a rush this morning and didn't eat. You know, it's two steamed buns and a glass of milk in the fridge in my office."

Delta was both amused and exasperated. She glanced at Ms. Jiang, whose face was so dark it looked like it was about to drip water, and her agent in the conference room.

I have to say... Delta is feeling quite pleased right now.

Xu Qi turned around.

"Then let's continue our discussion. What were Miss Jiang's demands again?"

"Manager Xu Qi!"

The agent finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Please show some respect!"

……

"Ha, ha, you're talking about...respect?"

Xu Qi walked over and sat down next to Rita, and under the table, he took Rita's small hand in front of her wide-eyed gaze.

"Actually, I listened at the door for a while, and then...you..." Xu Qi pointed at the agent, drew a circle, frowned, and then asked the young men and women at the door.

"Excuse me, does anyone know his name?"

Another burst of laughter followed.

A cute girl with a round face raised her hand and said, "Supervisor, I arrived early and I think I heard something. The man's surname should be Xia, but I don't know his name."

"Thank you. I'll treat your original art team to coffee at noon."

Amid cheers, Xu Qi smiled and said, "To the young men in production, I hope to hear your voices in my next quiz."

Another burst of laughter erupted, and during this process, Mr. Xia's face turned pale and then flushed.

Xu Qi turned around and continued, "Mr. Xia, did you show our general affairs officer, Ms. Rita, the most basic respect just now?"

And then there's Ms. Jiang, sitting here like a statue, acting all high and mighty, ignoring everyone. Is this some kind of new-age performance art?

The agent slammed his fist on the table! He angrily spread his hands toward Rita, then roared at Xu Qi.

"Enough! She's just a general affairs officer! A mere general affairs officer! What can she decide? Who does she think she is?! Does she even deserve to receive us in this conference room?!"

……

Rita calmly sipped her coffee, seemingly unconcerned about what the other person was saying.

Xu Qi looked quietly at the agent in front of him, remained silent for a while, and then slowly spoke.

"What did you say?"

Seemingly sensing something amiss, Ms. Jiang frowned and said, "Manager Xu Qi, I think you might have misunderstood. My agent was simply trying to imply that Ms. Rita's status is low..."

"What are you talking about now?"

The sudden interruption made Ms. Jiang look displeased.

"I said her position wasn't..."

"What do you mean?"

……

"Manager Xu Qi, do you have to keep interrupting us like this?"

Under the table, Xu Qi tightened his grip on Rita's small hand. He stared straight at the two people in front of him, his face devoid of even the slightest feigned smile.

"In the Allahato Workshop, there are only individual job duties; there is no hierarchy or any sense of superiority that must be observed."

Here, the production manager can practically urge the CEO to finish the project! And the 'little Miss Rita' you speak of has the right to greet guests in any way she wants!

If you're not satisfied, you can come to me with a complaint, and then I can use this complaint letter to wipe my poop when I go to the toilet!

Finally, the agent, Mr. Xia, couldn't contain his anger any longer and slammed his fist on the table, standing up. Xu Qi, in turn, did the same! The imposing aura emanating from his spiritual power made him...

His imposing presence was so overwhelming that it terrified the other person, who turned pale and stumbled back into his chair.

Even Miss Jiang, who rarely spoke, turned pale and looked at Xu Qi with some fear.

Rita glanced at Xu Qi casually, her eyes filled with a mixture of sweetness and warmth, as well as a hint of surprise.

After all, the mental strength that Xu Qi revealed at this moment was simply too exaggerated.

"We make animation! This is an animation company! Everyone comes to work every day with passion and sincerity, all we want is to make Alahatto a great success!"

Everyone here has the same goal: to make our animations as perfect as possible! And like you!

Xu Qi pointed to the one surnamed Xia, and then pointed to the one surnamed Jiang.

"And you! ... I don't care who's behind you two filthy things, and I don't care how much influence you have in the industry."

In my opinion, Ms. Jiang's professional abilities are questionable! She is not worthy of the role of 'Lux Klein'! That's why I didn't choose her!

It's that simple.

As for today, you two bastards acted arrogantly and disrespectfully in our ETStudio and Seed Studio, and even insulted our General Manager Rita!

This matter is separate…

Xu Qi walked to the door, his gaze sweeping over everyone present. The situation here had escalated to such an extent that even the Seed project team was no longer involved.

Even some employees from other project teams came over to join in the fun.

Xu Qi also saw many mid-level managers from the project team. Dan Zhu even greeted him with a smile, and Cang Xuan nodded in acknowledgment.

Everyone's gaze toward Xu Qi seemed to flicker with some inexplicable light.

Xu Qi took a deep breath, turned around, looked at the two men, and said, "Now... get out of my studio!"

······

In the end, Ms. Jiang and Mr. Xia, who had arrived with such arrogance, left in a sorry state, slinking away from ETStudio with their tails between their legs.

As they left, all the employees looked at Xu Qi and burst into applause.

Xu Qi looked at them and simply said...

"From now on, let's work together. No matter what kind of pressure you encounter, you can come to me, whether it's internal or external."

No matter what it is, come to me... All I can do is provide everyone with a completely comfortable working environment.

The applause was thunderous and continuous.

Director Delta walked over with the bag of breakfast, coughed twice, and said, "If you don't get back to your workstation soon, I'll have to rush you to finish."

In an instant! The corridor, which had been packed with people just moments before, was now so clean that only Rita, Xu Qi, and Delta were standing there.

Xu Qi looked at this terrifying appeal and shrugged.

“You understand horror, Miss Delta.”

Delta handed breakfast to Xu Qi and said with a smile before leaving, "You looked very handsome just now. As for now... I can tentatively accept you as my leader."

232. Could this be... a wall slam?!

Standing beside Xu Qi, Rita smiled and said, "You've handled it very well, Xu Qi."

"Phew...no."

Xu Qi turned around, and at that moment, Rita saw that Xu Qi's face did not show much of a smile, but rather a hint of solemnity.

"When will Bronya be back?"

"The earliest we can wait is before 1 p.m.

Xu Qi stroked his chin and suddenly said, "Who has always been in charge of ETStudio's public relations?"

"Our company has its own public relations department."

"At the level..."

"The head of the public relations department is half a rank higher than you, but since the Seed Project Studio is directly under President Bronya, in a strict sense, their positions are actually equal."

Xu Qi knew that Rita's words were a euphemism; what she meant was that Bronya was behind her, so there was no need to worry about any internal company issues.
