We moved to Golden Courtyard

"Gentlemen, let me help translate what Liu Yizhi means by these seemingly unrelated words..."

Xu Qi glanced around and said slowly.

"In order to seize control of ETStudio and become the chairman of the company, Director Yang had already formed a cooperative relationship with TXStudio a long time ago."

However, thanks to President Bronya's vigilance over the years, we at ET have been fortunate enough not to be acquired by Director Yang and TX through collusion.

However… the appearance of Alahato Seed, or rather, the appearance of me, the new manager, gave Director Yang the greatest opportunity.

The first relatively tricky thing I encountered after taking office was dealing with the issue of Ms. Jiang. The decision not to choose Ms. Jiang was foreseeable.

Both Bronya and I are the type who can't tolerate any injustice. If we were to be stubborn to the end, we would naturally offend Miss Jiang's lover—who is now the second director of TX!

Furthermore, MM, a top-tier music company widely recognized in the industry, has already been acquired by TX, meaning that a covert acquisition has been completed.

This explains why MM was so determined to terminate her contract with Seed Studio, even if it meant paying a huge penalty for breach of contract.

"Director Yang...the person who colluded with an external company, working together from the inside to acquire ETStudio, wasn't me...but you, the company's third-ranking director!"

As soon as Xu Qi finished speaking, the way everyone looked at Director Yang changed slightly.

The inference was entirely reasonable, and there was sufficient circumstantial evidence to prove many things. The only thing missing was the bank transfer slip showing that Director Yang had received bribes from outsiders.

But to the board members... that's enough to prove everything.

Xu Qi bent down slightly and whispered to Director Yang, who was already slumped in his chair.

Just like you think... nobody cares about the truth.

This is a board meeting, not a courtroom. I don't need to present evidence one by one. I just need to make them believe what I say, just like you did.

And I imagine you're wondering how I did it, right?

Director Yang turned to look at Xu Qi with a sinister gaze—he knew that this time… he had truly been defeated.

"You have indeed won, but it might not be enough to kill me outright."

"Yes, because you feel that it's very safe to have all the transfers and money concentrated in the hands of a woman who seems to have nothing to do with you."

This time, Director Yang's face was truly deathly pale.

"I think while we're having this meeting, some detectives specializing in this area should already be investigating. You can try logging into your mistress's bank account first. If it's not frozen, remember to transfer the money out as soon as possible."

327. Holding Miss Fox, never letting go.

Inside an office building, Kevin closed his laptop and continued coding on the company-issued desktop computer at his workstation. Even if the boss came in, he'd have to show off...

Good employee, he definitely wasn't slacking off just now.

Actually, I've been keeping an eye on Xu Qi's situation all along...

As for how Kevin paid attention to it?

He had already hacked the projection computer in the ETStudio conference room, so Xu Qi did indeed do something in collusion, such as plugging Kevin's USB drive in once.

With the power of the [Matrix], as long as a USB drive is plugged in once while the computer is powered on, the computer can be transformed into the shape of Kevin.

Hmm... something sounds a little off?

Just now, Kevin used the monitor in the ETStudio conference room to watch Xu Qi's entire brilliant performance. He's quite the eloquent person.

Unlike him... he keeps his words stuck in his throat, unable to get them out for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't have to work overtime every day.

If it were Xu Qi, he would definitely use his silver tongue to argue his case with his boss! Refusing to work overtime! I'm so envious…

Of course, Kevin recalled the entire series of arrangements from beginning to end, and realized that Director Yang... did not die unjustly.

Stealing the documents was just the beginning of the whole process. If he couldn't find a copy, Director Yang would definitely be anxious to get the original documents out of the computer.

And what happened next... was Kevin's turn to make his move.

Replacing words is far too easy for [Matrix].

Kevin didn't even do it himself. Instead, he wrote a simple conditional command for the [Matrix] so that it would automatically detect the name "Xu Qi" once the file was opened.

Then replace him with Yang Qihua...

It's not complicated. If other programmers knew, they would probably laugh at Kevin a little for giving him such simple instructions when using such an overpowered system as the [Matrix].

But... as long as the result is correct, that's fine.

This is Kevin.

The prerequisite for making so many targeted arrangements is, of course, having crucial intelligence... This time, the cat has done a great job.

What's more... there's also a master to guide you.

······

Yesterday, at night.

“Boss, I’ve handled a lot of corporate documents, and the authenticity of that forged document is absolutely outrageous! In other words, you’ve inexplicably established a subsidiary under ETStudio, and…”

"There's an extra 18 million in the account."

Pado nodded very seriously.

Xu Qi gently rubbed his temples, looking exhausted. Mei, who was standing beside him, felt sorry for him and reached out to help soothe Xu Qi's slightly stiff body.

It seems that tonight's dinner was merely a ploy to lull Xu Qi into a false sense of security. Both sides are well aware that their conflict is irreconcilable and there's no possibility of reconciliation.

But if Director Yang hosts a dinner party and makes you think he's still in the preparation stage, you're sorely mistaken...

The banquet and the beheading were undoubtedly carried out simultaneously.

If it weren't for Cat's timely intelligence, Xu Qi probably wouldn't have realized until the board meeting the next morning that Director Yang had already prepared a fatal blow.

He is indeed a cunning old fox.

Currently, most of the people who returned from Taixu Mountain are still here.

Kevin remained silent, while Alicia paced back and forth, as if she were racking her brains.

Only Möbius remained remarkably calm as he sipped his tea.

Seeing this, Ellie couldn't help but say, "Mebius, how can you still be drinking tea at a time like this?"

"Is it not allowed?"

"Forehead……"

Mebius glanced at Xu Qi.

"It's not like you're missing an arm or a leg, why are you all in such a hurry? In the end, it's just a hurdle at work. If you can't get over it, you'll be fired, and then you'll find another job. What's the big deal?"

After Möbius finished speaking, everyone present looked at him with a strange expression.

"What? Am I wrong?"

Xu Qi smiled, and in an instant, he felt much lighter.

"The professor is right. It's just a challenge. If I can't overcome it, it just means that I, Xu Qi, am nothing special. Being fired from this job is my own fault."

Mei gave a wry smile.

"That's true, but doesn't the professor have any better ideas?"

"According to Xiao Paduo's description, this level of forgery is not as simple as just having an original document. It cannot be solved by stealing or tampering with the internet."

Moreover, no matter how sophisticated the network tampering, it will always leave traces, and that's the real tricky part.

He kept saying it was no big deal, but Möbius was indeed racking his brains for a solution. Möbius... he's just so stubborn.

"I'm sorry, as a scientific researcher, I can't help you much in this regard, Xu Qi."

"Professor, it's already very good."

Mebius lowered her head and sipped her tea, neither confirming nor denying, but anyone could sense the resentment emanating from her.

Perhaps it was because he realized some realities—that he alone could not fully protect Xu Qi.

Kevin sighed as well. He was just a programmer... He really wasn't good at the backstabbing and intrigue in the company.

Pado scratched her head in distress.

What could she do? She was just a cat...

As for Mei and Airi, needless to say, one is just a student, and the other...

I'm almost being turned into a homebody.

"Let's discuss this with Bronya... Although it goes against my wishes, the key is to protect myself, which is a lesson Sakura taught me."

"It seems you have indeed listened to everything I said."

"Of course, I can hear from Sakura..."

Xu Qi was suddenly stunned, and everyone in the Golden Courtyard was also stunned.

Is there... a familiar yet slightly abrupt voice?

Everyone suddenly looked up!

When everyone saw the cherry-haired woman with a white shirt and a black coat standing in the living room carrying a suitcase, they were all stunned.

He immediately stood up and exclaimed in surprise, "Sakura!??"

Sakura smiled and said, "It seems everyone misses me quite a bit."

"cherry!"

Alicia hugged Sakura tightly, rubbing her cheek against hers and saying, "Waaah...you're finally back? You have no idea how much Xu Qi tormented me while you were gone!"

Sakura squinted – Why does it feel like you're showing off to me?

Mei also stood up, and after Sakura broke free from the clingy little fairy Airi, she gave her a gentle hug.

"You weren't injured in Japan, were you?"

"Well, my ability to protect myself is not bad."

"Sister Ying..."

Mei glanced back, chuckled, and stepped aside.

When Sakura saw Xu Qi walking over, her eyes looked up and saw him so small that he could only fit one person in his gaze...

"Xu Qi..."

He pulled Sakura into his arms and hugged her tightly! He sniffed, finally managing to suppress the urge to cry. All he wanted to do was hold his foxy lady with joy and never let go.

"I miss you so much... Sakura..."

328. For Ying, Xu Qi is the bottom line.

Even though he had important things to do, the first thing he thought of when he saw Sakura was... rushing over, hugging her, and saying something.

I miss you so much……

She has always been so open about her love for herself.

Sakura greedily enjoyed Xu Qi's embrace, his scent, and the feeling of having him by her side... It was only a month, but it felt like a year.

That sounds nice, but now that we have cell phones, we can contact each other anytime.

But the feeling of having someone by your side... is completely different.

The others also stood up and greeted Ying, who could only nod and smile wryly in response, since she was being held tightly by Xu Qi.

Even Kevin, who always has an icy expression, couldn't help but smile at this heartwarming scene.

Why say goodbye? True happiness comes from being together.

"Alright, Xu Qi, if you keep hugging me like this, everyone will start laughing at me."

"What's so funny about that?"

But Xu Qi still let go of Ying, his eyes welling up with tears, clearly the result of him holding back his tears.

"I heard you've had a few new girlfriends since I left?"

Xu Qi's face stiffened, and just then, Maomao added fuel to the fire, saying, "I can vouch for it! It's true!"

"Kitty, you'll be one of my new girlfriends tomorrow night."
