We moved to Golden Courtyard

Xu Qi has always respected his girlfriends, and he is also a complete workaholic, so naturally he has fewer thoughts about that kind of thing in front of Bronya.

Bronya finally managed to compose herself.

She glanced at Xu Qi, secretly vowing to herself—just wait and see how I teach you a lesson!

But work matters always come first, so he asked, "Xiao Yun and Liu Qi... I remember they were the animation directors for the first and second episodes, right? What happened to these two?"

So Xu Qi then recounted the whole story.

Bronya, however, did not show any sign of distress after hearing this.

While Xu Qi felt much more at ease, he also had some doubts.

After all, in his view... this was a dead end, but why was Bronya so calm?

"Why don't you share your thoughts first?"

So he repeated the gist of what he had said to Rita in the car.

"The new faction and the old faction are also involved in some conflicts of interest. Xiao Yun is experienced and shrewd, while Liu Qi is strong-willed. If the stalemate continues without interference, Teacher Xiao Yun will probably win in the end."

Furthermore... Alahatto has a whopping 48 episodes, and I'm also worried about the production timeline.

Bronya took a sip of water.

"Show me the 3D effect first."

Xu Qi had been carrying this with him the whole time. He plugged the USB drive into Bronya's computer and demonstrated the effect.

Where is the original artwork?

"That part of the cut was returned by Teacher Liu for rework, and the original artist should still be making changes now."

"Are there any copies of the previous version?"

"I'll go ask Delta for it."

A short while later, he came in carrying a bag of original paintings.

Bronya took it and flipped through it. The paper, like falling leaves, transformed from a static drawing into a dynamic scene as her fingers moved it from top to bottom.

No matter how many times he watches it, Xu Qi is always filled with emotion.

This is animation... a series of still frames of original artwork, which eventually form a smooth video...

Xu Qi thoroughly enjoyed watching these things come to life from nothing.

After Bronya finished translating, she said, "It definitely needs to be redone. These few cuts will still need to be redone even if they're for the performance. Liu Qi did the right thing."

Xu Qi nodded. He showed this to Ji Lin, who specializes in action performances, and the conclusion was similar, but he was still surprised!

He looked at Bronya, his eyes sparkling with admiration.

Despite not having directed for several years and being far removed from the position of animation director, she still possesses a remarkably sharp professional eye. Director Bronya... truly impressive.

As if she could read Xu Qi's eyes, Bronya couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth into a smile.

If it were someone else, her emotions would remain calm and undisturbed.

After all, she is a genius, a true genius! She has endured too many astonished looks from others since she was a child.

But when the object is Xu Qi, one can't help but feel smug and happy.

I even wanted to say—"Aren't I amazing?"

In Ellie's words, it would be like saying, "Praise me, okay?"

Xu Qi snapped out of his thoughts and asked, "What are your thoughts, Supervisor?"

Xu Qi believes that they will probably have to resort to the last resort, observe the effects of both, and then choose one as the connecting scene between the two episodes...

Bronya simply leaned back in her seat, looking at Xu Qi with a mocking gaze, and said, "Weren't you usually so arrogant? Why aren't you arrogant anymore?"

"Forehead……"

Xu Qi wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead—why was he throwing a tantrum?

"You... in a state-owned enterprise, not a crowdfunding group 456127940... you should say you've only handled external projects."

So they don't really understand our animation industry, or rather... they don't really understand ET Studio, or even the employees under my command, Bronya.

Indeed, it can be said that both Xiao Yun and Liu Qi followed Bronya directly after Welt ended his coaching career.

To achieve success, an animation director needs a few loyal and dedicated team members who remain with the project.

This is true for the performances of Ai and Ji Lin, and even more so for the animation directors Xiao Yun and Liu Qi.

“Let me think… There’s a period costume exhibition at the Clover Park this weekend. Why don’t you invite both directors to visit and then talk about this? Perhaps… you’ll change your mind.”

"Oh……"

Xu Qi was confused, but since it was Bronya's words, he chose to believe her unconditionally.

This attitude softened Bronya's gaze even more.

When the Alahatto series of animations was being produced, there were naturally people who would take on the role of department head, but Bronya disliked it quite a bit.

In fact, let alone the previous one, even when Bronya was still the supervisor, no supervisor could make her look at her differently.

Only Xu Qi... he is different.

The two are very similar in their passion for animation and their work, as well as their management philosophy!

But they are not exactly the same, which is why they can supervise each other and help each other succeed.

Moreover... in his heart, loyalty and righteousness outweigh everything else.

He felt indebted to Xu Qi for recognizing his talent, and Xu Qi followed him wholeheartedly. Such sincerity was something he had never seen before.

But soon, Xu Qi seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Bronya with some difficulty.

"Supervision..."

"Hmm? What's wrong? Is there some difficulty?"

"It's not particularly difficult, it's just... how am I supposed to tell the women in my family about this when Saturday comes? It's one thing if Teacher Xiao Yun and Teacher Liu Qi are men, but they are women..."

……

The office fell silent for a moment.

Bronya was indeed negligent. Yes... Xu Qi, that flirtatious devil, went out with two women... Just thinking about it makes me worry for Xiao Yun and Liu Qi.

Even if I knew the inside story, I wouldn't feel at ease... Who knows what kind of charm Xu Qi has?

"Then... how about you say you're coming with me?"

Xu Qi's expression became even stranger—to Mei and the others, this sounded like they had just escaped the tiger's den only to fall into the wolf's mouth.

Bronya felt inexplicably irritated again—that brat! Why is he always so unclear about things when it comes to relationships?!

Pointing at Xu Qi, he said angrily, "You... figure it out yourself! As for how much you waste your breath and how many descendants you ruin, remember! I don't care about your casualty figures, I only care about the results!"

371. I really do like Xu Qi.

When Xu Qi was a child, he watched TV and was particularly impressed by a line: "Send a telegram to Cheng Zihua, I don't want his casualty figures, I just want Tashan!"

It's lamentable that for every general's success, countless lives are lost.

Then what am I?

Xu Qi was now genuinely feeling a bit uneasy – how was he going to explain to his family that he had gone out to accompany two incredibly beautiful female teachers, just for work?

No matter how much you try to persuade them, they simply won't believe you.

But that's alright, after all, Xu Qi himself knows what he's going there to do, and he doesn't think he's so charming that he could win the hearts of two supervisors in just one day.

That's too outrageous; Xu Qi doesn't believe it.

That way, I can show all my girlfriends that I, Xu Qi, am not the kind of ultimate playboy who falls in love with every girl he meets and keeps them all.

I prefer being passive.

His mood brightened again. Although Bronya's request was rather outrageous, Xu Qi was still willing to do it if it could really help Seed be successfully produced.

"Alright, I'll be going now."

Just as he was about to leave, Bronya suddenly grabbed his sleeve.

Xu Qi asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

After all, if you want him to stay, all you have to do is shout. Why are you tugging at your sleeve... what are you trying to do?

Xu Qi was puzzled, but Bronya was even more puzzled.

She did it subconsciously, and when she realized it, she understood that she didn't want Xu Qi to leave and wanted him to stay with her longer.

But due to the pressure of supervision and his position as president, he simply couldn't bring himself to say those words.

So she pursed her lips and remained silent for a while before saying, "My back has been bothering me lately."

Lower back pain? Then get up and move around more...

With his thoughts stuck, Xu Qi also pursed his lips and looked at Bronya, whose cheeks flushed and whose eyes darted around after saying those words.

It's not that Xu Qi didn't think about taking the initiative.

There's just so much going on at the company lately, and you've been saying you're thinking about it.

But actually, I really like Bronya...

Xu Qi witnessed the unconditional trust shown to him at both meetings.

A scholar would die for one who understands him, but when this boss is a charming and exceptionally elegant woman, especially given the ambiguous relationship he has with her...

I just felt that something was off about this feeling of being moved.

In the end, his admiration for Bronya transformed into a special love for this woman.

It is indeed special, after all, he is one's own boss.

Xu Qi's feelings for Bronya were more of a sense of gratitude and respect for her recognition and support.

But there can also be attraction between men and women, right?

If Bronya had refused from the beginning, Xu Qi would not have had any thoughts about it! He would have simply become a loyal general under Bronya!

From now on, I'll be a sharp sword in the company, able to cut down whomever I want!

But she didn't refuse... This ambiguous attitude made Xu Qi, like a sharp sword, not only want to stab the enemy—but also his own boss.

However, the latter is in a physical sense.

Up close, Bronya is truly beautiful. This woman from Russia didn't inherit much of the ruggedness of her heritage; instead, she possesses a graceful and elegant demeanor.

She doesn't have many expressions and always looks indifferent, but precisely because of this, if she could add more expressions to her face, she would be quite adorable.

As for her figure... well, that goes without saying. She's a woman who's extremely particular about herself in every way.

Just like his Eden sister, Sakura sister, Nia sister, and his own maid.

But the older these four get, the more mature and charming they become. Bronya is different... you could call her a mature woman, but she still has a childlike voice.

Her face shape is also more like a baby face. She must have been extremely cute when she was a child, and she is still the same when she grows up.

She's cute, fine, but she also has a devilish figure.

The unity of opposites is a kind of unity.

Xu Qi's thoughts wandered further and further, but ultimately they remained focused on Bronya and her good qualities.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Then... go lie down on the sofa, I'll give you a back massage."

"Um……"

That "hmm" almost made Xu Qi respond.

All I can say is that Bronya is getting bolder and bolder—before she would just rub her shoulders, but now... she's starting directly on her waist.

As Xu Qi lay prone on the sofa, he noticed Bronya's body stiffen as soon as he touched her.

It's mostly not from sitting, but from oneself...

So instead of immediately massaging her, he gently massaged Bronya's back.

"You can do this too?"
