We moved to Golden Courtyard

321. Delta: How dare you!

Director Yang also slammed his fist on the table!

"hard!"

Is it hard?

"Tough enough!"

"Whether it's tough or not, we'll talk about that later!" Xu Qi waved his hand. "Right now, I only have one thing on my mind! That is to get rid of the president for Director Yang! So I can enjoy my beauty! Bronya is too arrogant... She's trying to keep me as her sugar daddy! I won't allow it!"

After saying that, Xu Qi got up and poured a glass of wine for Director Yang. He then tried to pour a glass of wine for Delta, but Delta impatiently pushed him away, saying, "Yes, yes!"

"Then I'll drink it myself."

Delta took a deep breath and said with great frustration, "I thought that you should drink wine one sip at a time and walk one step at a time. If you take too big a step, ouch! You'll tear your balls."

"We should finish discussing the money issue first, then we can talk about enjoying the beauty!"

"You're still talking about money at a time like this? Aren't you going to talk about beautiful women?" Xu Qi said, looking disappointed, and leaned back in his chair.

"Then you two can talk."

Director Yang smiled and extended his hand.

"Director, you decide."

"Okay! Okay!" Delta, who looked completely corrupted by money, said, "Let's talk about money first."

I believe that 18 million is truly unnecessary. If things go smoothly and Director Yang becomes chairman, then I think it would be excellent for Manager Xu to become the company's third director.

A cold glint flashed deep in Director Yang's eyes.

Xu Qi, on the other hand, continued to sit in his original spot and drink.

Director Yang said with a smile.

"If it can really be done, then this 18 million is nothing more than... a hair for you two."

"Not a single hair!"

"You two have guts! But what about your abilities? Why should I believe you can really get things done for me?"

"Perhaps Director Yang has forgotten the video he saw at the handover meeting that day."

Director Yang's eyes narrowed subconsciously, a reaction he only exhibited when he sensed something extremely dangerous.

"Since I have the ability to persuade the Gold Group to cooperate with ETStudio, I naturally have the ability to persuade her... to stand by and watch Bronya be defeated."

……

"Manager Xu, I've long seen that you're no ordinary person."

"I dare not accept such praise."

"Gentlemen, a toast to you both, and a toast to us. May our upcoming endeavors be a resounding success!"

"Director Yang!"

"Manager Xu!"

"please!"

······

I don't remember how much food I ate, or whether I was full or not, but I drank quite a lot of alcohol.

Xu Qi, reeking of alcohol, was supported by Delta as he staggered out of the hotel, while Director Yang, whom he had chatted with as if they were old friends...

They are still inside and haven't come out.

Delta waited until the car arrived before quickly helping Xu Qi into the back seat, and then got in herself.

But as soon as she got into the car, she realized something was wrong.

The driver in the main seat looked far too familiar. Although she was wearing sunglasses and a white and purple cheongsam, she was still very easy to recognize because it was...

"Bronya...Director Bronya!?"

Wasn't it supposed to be Rita who would take over? Oh, Delta saw her; Rita was sitting in the passenger seat, a slightly embarrassed smile on her face.

Xu Qi, who wasn't drunk to begin with, actually noticed as soon as he got in the car. At that moment, he didn't dare to show that he was sober and pretended to be asleep in the back seat.

But unfortunately...

"Are you still sober? If not, we'll go down to the Huangpu River and help you sober up."

Xu Qi quickly sat up and sat upright in the back row, saying, "Sober, sober."

Bronya chuckled and, without lingering, drove Xu Qi's car away from the hotel.

"What? You're surprised to see me?"

Xu Qi and Delta exchanged a glance. Now that things had come to this... they had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Bronya, I didn't actually intend to tell you this from the beginning."

"You were thinking of handling it yourself and not needing to bother me, right?"

Xu Qi pursed her lips and nodded.

Bronya didn't seem to care, and instead asked, "So, how do you think you handled it?"

Xu Qi and Delta exchanged a glance, and then, one after the other, they recounted the events at the dinner table and how they had been dealing with Director Yang insincerely.

"This Director Yang speaks one way to one person and another way to another, openly and secretly trying to probe something out of me. As for the so-called cooperation..."

I doubt even he believes it himself. As for saying he'd give me eighteen million, if he gave me eight beautiful women, I might be slightly tempted.

The car was parked by the river. Listening to Xu Qi's witty jokes, Delta couldn't help but roll her eyes and say, "Is this 'saying one thing to one person and another to another' referring to yourself?"

Bronya couldn't help but joke, "Eight beauties? Besides me, Rita, and Delta, which other beauties do you want to take away from the company?"

"Huh? Don't drag me into this! I'm not interested in Xu Qi. You two women can fight over her yourselves."

As they chatted, everyone got out of the car.

Facing the river breeze, leaning against the handrail, watching the cruise ships coming and going on the river, and the scenery on the opposite bank, I couldn't help but feel much more relaxed.

"Xu Qi, you may not know much about Director Yang. When I took over ETStudio, the first enemy I dealt with was this Director Yang."

Over the years, it seems that I have the upper hand, but no one knows what underhanded tricks this old fox has been hiding behind the scenes. You probably already know how ruthless he is.

Before I joined the company, I had heard a famous saying from Director Yang: "When stabbing someone, be fully prepared; but a fatal blow... can happen in an instant."

Bronya leaned on the railing with both hands, seemingly lost in thought.

"For so many years, I have always been on guard against him. When he is not completely confident, you can do whatever you want to him and he will not react at all."

He's held back from attacking me for so many years, not to boast, but simply because I haven't left any fatal flaws. But this time… he's made his move.

Bronya didn't elaborate further, but Xu Qi understood.

Don't underestimate that Director Yang. Since he has already taken action, it naturally means that he has made quite thorough preparations.

"You don't want me to get too involved in this matter because you realize that the progress of the Alahato Seed has been delayed due to previous events."

Now you're desperately trying to create a peaceful space for me and everyone in the studio, so that everyone can catch up with the schedule as quickly as possible in a carefree environment.

Whether as a supervisor or the president, I fully agree with your decision, however…

Bronya walked over to Xu Qi and patted him on the shoulder.

But he seemed to feel that this alone was not enough to express the intimacy between him and Xu Qi, so... he reached out and hugged Xu Qi.

Rita's eyes widened, and she took a deep breath.

Delta covered her mouth in shock—how audacious! It was NTR right in front of her!

"No matter what, as a boss, whatever you're going to do, you should at least inform me in advance so I'm aware of it. And as a friend, you should definitely tell me first."

Xu Qi...please don't make me worry unnecessarily, okay?

322. Miss Rita, do you have a fever?

It was getting late, so Rita drove Delta and Bronya home first.

Before leaving, Bronya said to Xu Qi, "No matter what, you are the young man I have the most faith in. Do whatever you want to do. Just remember, I will always stand by your side."

"...Understood, Director Bronya."

Inside the car, Xu Qi's expression was somewhat complicated.

Rita, sitting in the driver's seat, looked out at the scenery and asked, "Are you wondering if my performance so far has earned Bronya's high regard?"

"That problem is long gone."

“Yes…” Rita teased, “After all, your relationship with Bronya is also ambiguous.”

Xu Qi looked embarrassed.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you so lost in thought?"

"It just suddenly dawned on me that, in terms of tactics, I'm far inferior to Bronya... My presumptuous confrontation with Director Yang might be seen as..."

Xu Qi didn't say the second half of his sentence because Rita already understood, and she said...

"Do you think it's unnecessary?"

"……Um……"

Rita suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Are you laughing at me too? It does seem a bit presumptuous of you..."

"Xu Qi, I am your maid, how could I laugh at you? It's just that the master did make some mistakes because he was too involved to see clearly."

Xu Qi was puzzled.

"how to say?"

"Xu Qi, do you still remember why you took it upon yourself to bring Director Delta to the meeting?"

Rita didn't wait for Xu Qi's reply, but continued speaking.

"Rita still remembers what Manager Xu said in the office that morning: 'We're all in the animation business, not politics, but someone has to take responsibility for this kind of thing. Who else but me?'"

Xu Qi's eyes gradually brightened.

Seeing this, Rita couldn't help but smile.

"Creating an absolutely safe working environment for everyone is what you want to do, so just focus on that."

……

Xu Qi suddenly sighed.

"Rita, you are truly my wonderful wife."

Hearing Xu Qi's praise, Rita felt a sweet warmth in her heart. She licked her lips and suddenly asked, "Do we have to go back to the company to work overtime later?"

"Hmm? It shouldn't be..."

Xu Qi suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

He glanced at Rita, who was driving, wearing a brown pencil skirt and a simple white shirt, but what almost made Xu Qi unable to look away was her pair of smooth, long legs when they were put together.

Rita seemed to feel a little hot, so she reached out and slightly opened her collar.

Even though the air conditioning was on in the car, it was still hot.

Xu Qi made a swallowing motion and then suddenly said something.

"I... know a good spot with a great view of the river."

Rita held her breath, her cheeks slightly flushed.

She turned her head back to the window and said, "Really? Then let's go take a look... It won't be too late, you go home."

"It's okay. I was just going out to dinner with Director Yang, so I told Mei that I would be home late tonight. And it's not late now, it's only eight o'clock."

It's only eight o'clock...

Rita increasingly felt that she was just like a mistress having an affair with her boss.

But...it's so exciting!
