We moved to Golden Courtyard

Then Mei, Airi, and Theresa rushed out of the room and beat him up!

When Xu Qi came out of the shower, the pitiful-looking cat nudged its head against Xu Qi's chest and said aggrievedly.

"Boss... your girlfriends are all bullying me..."

"You deserve it."

"You fucking..."

With a pat on Pado's bottom, Xu Qi casually sat down on the sofa amidst the cat's blushing cheeks.

"Speak, what important matter do you have to report to me tonight?"

Pado glanced at Xu Qi.

After the trip to Guangcheng, although I slept in the same room with the boss every day, I felt that I hadn't become the boss's woman, but rather the boss's brother.

This is way too casual...

Well, being brothers isn't bad either. When the boss stands at the top of the world in the future, I can take shelter under his shadow.

Plans are in place!

"Ahem! Boss, it's like this, let me explain it to you slowly..."

324. Bronya: So what time did you guys play until last night?

The following day, in Director Yang's office.

"Is everything ready?"

"Yes, Father."

He handed a stack of documents to Director Yang for review, and then the middle-aged man, who looked even older than Xu Qi, stepped aside.

At the same time, he glanced at Liu Yizhi, who had knelt on the ground as soon as he entered, and said coldly, "Father has made so many preparations for your sake, can't you even show some appreciation?"

Liu Yizhi's body trembled, and he quickly kowtowed again.

"It's all my subordinates' fault for not doing their job properly! Please... please give me more!..."

"I've already given you the opportunity."

Director Yang slowly stood up. This slightly overweight old man had a calm expression, but he still couldn't hide his lion-like aura.

I may be getting old, but my spirit hasn't diminished.

Since joining ETStudio, he had been eagerly anticipating this day, longing to... sit on the chairman's throne.

"When stabbing someone, be fully prepared; a fatal blow can happen in an instant!"

"Father, the board meeting is about to begin."

"Ah."

Director Yang glanced coldly at Liu Yizhi, who was kneeling prostrate on the ground.

"Get up. We can talk about your business after this is over."

"Yes……"

Liu Yizhi straightened up, trembling slightly.

This past week, he's been kneeling to this person or that person. He's almost numb to it all, and now he feels no resistance to kneeling at all.

People who are servile and lowly.

Stepping outside, a group of company executives in suits and ties had already gathered outside Director Yang's office.

Among them were even senior directors of the company, who also held various positions within the company. And these people... were all part of the faction that Director Yang had cultivated within the company over the years.

"Let's go."

"Yes!"

The group marched in a grand procession toward the main conference room on the top floor.

Wherever he went, the staff he encountered on the road all stepped aside and stood with their heads down.

Even though he suffered a setback at the handover meeting a few days ago, Director Yang is still the company's third director. His position is so high... that it's not something a junior employee would dare to discuss.

These are the traditional private company executives...

Just then, a woman dressed in a black and white office lady outfit walked towards us with her head down and a cat-like gait, light and quick.

She seemed oblivious to the huge crowd, carrying documents in her hands, and accidentally bumped into Director Yang as she passed by!

"Hey! You bastard, can't you see where you're going?!"

"Ah! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"

The girl lowered her head and apologized repeatedly, while the documents that Director Yang had been holding were scattered on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Director Yang's secretary quickly squatted down to pick it up, while the girl also hurriedly tried to help tidy up.

"Don't touch it!"

"Ah! Yes!"

The girl straightened up, not caring that she had also spilled some documents, and, holding the remaining documents in her hands, fled the place as if escaping.

And Director Yang's son finally finished tidying up and respectfully handed it over to Director Yang.

"Father."

Director Yang glanced back at the girl who was walking away quickly, and only asked after she disappeared around the corner, "Is she a new employee in the company?"

"That's probably it. They were too hasty in handling things! I'll find out who it was when I get back."

Director Yang waved his hand and turned around.

"Newcomers these days are all like this, clueless and clumsy... They can't help but be smug after getting a small advantage..."

Everyone lowered their heads, and they all knew who Director Yang was talking about.

"However... he soon lost his chance to stay in the company."

"Yes, Father!"

"Let's go."

······

Compared to the huge crowd at Director Yang's place, Bronya's place was rather—no, it should be said—quite shabby.

There were only three people: Bronya, who was supposed to attend the board meeting, Xu Qi, and Bronya's former personal secretary, Ms. Rita.

"So, before Seed Studios was even established, Bronya's secretary was Rita?"

“Otherwise, what did you think?” Bronya prepared several documents with an air of importance, then suddenly looked at Xu Qi and asked, “So, what time did you guys stay out of bed last night?”

Xu Qi seemed to choke instantly, standing aside coughing wildly.

Rita couldn't help but purse her lips, her face flushed.

Bronya sneered repeatedly.

"What? Did you, Xu Qi, have a sudden burst of saintly spirit last night and send Rita home directly? Even if that's the case, you should probably stay overnight."

Both of them looked somewhat embarrassed.

“Sigh…” Bronya sighed, “My most trusted subordinate committed adultery with my secretary…”

"She's my secretary now."

Bronya narrowed her eyes, and Xu Qi immediately said, "But it can also be yours."

"How come I never noticed before that you had the ability to change your stance depending on the situation?"

"It's all thanks to the CEO's excellent teaching."

Isn't that what I taught you?

Bronya was almost laughing in exasperation.

Xu Qi quickly changed the subject, saying, "So you're just preparing a few documents so hastily for the board meeting... is that appropriate?"

"What's wrong with that? If I could, I wouldn't even want to talk."

Bronya stared at Xu Qi, her expression a half-smile.

"Director Yang must have made full preparations for today's board meeting. Since you're willing to take on this job for me, you have to do it well, understand?"

Xu Qi thought of his conversation with Rita last night, and his heart couldn't help but flutter with emotion.

"Leave it to me!"

······

The top floor of the company building, in the main conference room.

It was in this very meeting room that the original Alahat Seed was approved.

Meanwhile, it was also here that Xu Qi's first battle to make a name for himself at ETStudio took place during the shift handover meeting that day.

The large conference room housed more than a dozen directors of varying sizes, along with executive directors who could participate in decision-making, and secretaries or assistants of the directors.

The conference room could accommodate nearly 40 people, but even so, it still felt extremely spacious.

Unlike the seating arrangement at the handover meeting, Chairman Walter was now in the first seat, with Bronya to his right and Director Yang to his left.

The directors and executive directors below him sat down on both sides in turn.

Assistants and secretaries like Xu Qi and Rita sit behind the directors directly under them.

Returning to this conference room once again, Xu Qi felt a renewed sense of conviction and determination.

He knew that no matter how brilliant the counterattack at the handover meeting, its impact wouldn't be as significant as this board meeting. Today was the best opportunity to resolve Seed Studios' concerns once and for all.

At that moment, Xu Qi's phone vibrated.

At the same time, Chairman Walter adjusted his glasses and said calmly.

"Now that everyone is here, let's begin this month's board meeting."

325. Paddy: Do you like me pretending to be a company employee?

As the board meeting began and each item on the company's agenda came to a close, everyone's mood became increasingly tense.

Ultimately, the main agenda of this board meeting was to discuss cooperation with the Gold Group.

It's not just about securing unparalleled soundtracks for an animation project; the Golden Group has a vast business portfolio, and if they can also provide strong support in areas like marketing and distribution...

All the directors of ETStudio understood what this meant.

As long as the quality of the work is high enough, it will be the birth of the next super IP!

"Then... let's move on to the next agenda item—the cooperation with the Gold Group."

At Walter's words, everyone present sat up straight.

This is undoubtedly... the main course for today!

"Representatives from the Gold Group are scheduled to arrive next week for cooperation discussions and a press conference, where various documents regarding the cooperation will be prepared..."

Bronya stood up and handed the documents in her hand to Chairman Walter.

Meanwhile, a prepared presentation was projected onto a giant screen in the conference room.

"President Bronya, please explain it to everyone one by one."

"Ok."

Bronya glanced at Xu Qi subtly, while Xu Qi looked at Director Yang sitting to her right. The two were quite far apart, but Xu Qi could still see him clearly...

Even the old man, who had always been expressionless, could no longer contain his excitement.

"President Bronya, could you... wait a moment?"

As Director Yang finished speaking, everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to him.

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, seemingly puzzled as to why Director Yang had suddenly interrupted. Was he trying to question them? Or...?

Is this old fox finally deciding to get involved himself?
