We moved to Golden Courtyard

373. Eden: I came to visit my younger brother and sister-in-law today, nothing more.

Thursday arrived, and finally, the negotiation meeting regarding the cooperation between ETStudio and the Gold Group was officially held.

Those attending the meeting were the executive directors of ETStudio, led by Chairman Walter, but Bronya was not among them.

Not only because the cooperation plan had been fully handed over, but also because... she needed to attend another, more important occasion.

Therefore, the only person from the Gold Group who participated in the negotiation meeting was Miss Anna.

At this moment, the multimedia conference room on the second floor of ETStudio headquarters was originally used as a celebration venue for ETStudio's annual meeting, and occasionally for external affairs, which were basically all held here.

Backstage in the conference room, Bronya finally met the legendary figure who could make the world tremble—Eden, the chairman of the Gold Group.

Those outside the business world may find it hard to imagine how transcendent Eden's position is.

Just like Bronya, at less than thirty years old, she jumped from director to supervisor and finally became the president of ET Studio, a well-known animation company in the industry.

She led it to its current scale, and in the animation industry, Bronya is second only to Walter in terms of legend.

But people outside the animation field wouldn't know that.

And Eden...

It seems I've never told such a legendary story before—from an ordinary girl to a world-renowned singer, and finally to the world's richest person in less than three years.

His status underwent a three-level leap, making him a figure of great importance in the world.

Of course, Eden is no longer the world's richest man...

Because that's more like an honor and a title; the Golden Eden has long since ceased to need such a boring, empty name.

The amount of money is irrelevant to Eden, but the fact that there is enough to fund the research and development of Mebius and Velvet is significant.

Because their research projects are of vital importance to Xu Qi.

So... for Eden now, how to spend money on Xu Qi is something she is very willing to consider.

As for whether there will be dissenting voices...

As mentioned before.

There is no board of directors in the Gold Corporation, only Eden—she is the emperor there.

So when Eden actually appeared backstage, Bronya was so stunned by his noble bearing that she stood frozen in place, not daring to approach, until Xu Qi spoke up.

There are actually only a few people behind the scenes.

Before Eden arrived, there were only Bronya, Xu Qi, and Rita.

Delta was upstairs in charge of holding cooperation negotiation meetings.

Unfortunately, some things require the presence of the production manager at Seed Studio.

Bronya and Rita were both somewhat intimidated by Eden's imposing presence.

Luxurious?

Before Eden, such adjectives can only appear impoverished and shallow.

But since it was the first time they had ever seen such an aura, they were both somewhat stunned—so this was the Golden Eden?

However, Xu Qi...

When he stepped forward and hugged Eden tightly, Bronya and Rita, who had finally managed to calm themselves down, were stunned into silence once again.

So...the siblings had such a good relationship?

"Sister Eden!"

“Xu Qi…this is outside…” Eden was quite helpless, but she couldn’t do anything about Xu Qi’s affection and could only let her younger brother act spoiled.

Xu Qi didn't care at all. He released Eden, turned around and introduced her: "Director, Ms. Rita, this is Eden, whom I often mention to you. She is also my older sister."

Rita reacted quickly. Just as Bronya was about to speak, the little maid said mischievously, "Hello, sister."

Who is your sister?

Oh~~ because she's Xu Qi's woman, she's become the crowdfunding group 456127940, her sister, right...?

Eden wasn't actually bothered by Rita's little scheme.

On the contrary, there was some appreciation.

Life is about striving; if you don't strive, no one will give you anything.

When Eden heard her call her "sister," she sensed not respect, but rather affection for Xu Qi—which made everything easier.

Eden would not dislike any woman who truly loved his brother; he would only think they had good taste.

Eden said with a gentle gaze, "You must be Miss Rita? I've heard Xu Qi mention you before. I appreciate it if you could take care of Xu Qi at the company."

"It's no trouble at all, sister. It's my duty as a maid."

Maid? Eden looked at Xu Qi with a hint of surprise, only to see her younger brother scratching his head awkwardly and explaining, "Well... it's not what you think, Eden. Rita just likes being a maid."

What kind of weird hobbies are these?

Eden was both amused and exasperated, but of course, he didn't say anything more.

At this moment, Bronya stepped forward, extended her hand, and said, "Hello... I am Bronya Zaychek, the president of ETStudio."

At this moment, the small backstage room was somewhat quiet.

Rita stood behind Xu Qi. She knew she could take a shortcut and meet Eden as Xu Qi's woman, but Bronya... no.

Eden is indeed a rare and extraordinary woman in this world, but Bronya is not?

She also has her pride.

Eden narrowed his eyes, suddenly feeling a little worried for Xu Qi—this woman was so arrogant, could Xu Qi handle her?

The scene froze for a moment.

Xu Qi glanced around and suddenly said with a smile, "Chairman Eden, this is Ms. Bronya, the president of our ETStudio and the director of the anime Alahato Seed."

The change in address made Eden realize something.

At the same time, Bronya gave Xu Qi a grateful glance.

Seeing this, Eden reached out and shook hands with Bronya.

"Just call me Eden... I'm quite surprised that Miss Bronya is so young."

"Miss Eden, you flatter me... The press conference is about to begin, why don't you sit down and rest for a while?"

"it is good."

Invited to sit down, Xu Qi stood behind Bronya, leaving Eden alone. So Xu Qi gave Rita a wink.

Rita understood and sat down next to Eden.

Such a small gesture naturally did not escape Eden's notice, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly—Xu Qi... has really grown up.

Therefore, it's not appropriate to say much to Xu Qi, since she's only a supervisor in the Seed project, not high enough in rank, and not even qualified to meet her.

Bronya looked at Xu Qi with eyes full of tenderness...

She couldn't help but recall that day in the office when she was fooling around, leaning against Xu Qi's lap and releasing him with her hand, and the look of pleasure on his face.

Xu Qi has truly sacrificed a lot for himself.

Therefore, she couldn't really let Xu Qi stand behind her like a subordinate, so she took the initiative to pull Xu Qi to sit down next to her and looked at Eden.

"I know Miss Eden. She is the older sister of this capable assistant of mine. Xu Qi has been taken care of by her in the past, and I am very grateful to her."

Getting on track...

He had originally intended to make things difficult for Bronya, but that thought vanished at that moment.

Eden was very satisfied.

She was supposed to be attending a press conference at ETStudio, but in reality... it was Eden, as the older sister, who came to let her younger brother see what kind of character her two sisters-in-law had.

It is appropriate for them to come and oversee the process.

And seeing it today—it's all very good!

374. Rita, you're not allowed to leave me, okay?

Although the purpose of a press conference is to expose previously undisclosed information to the public and the media.

But in reality... each newspaper and media outlet has its own methods beforehand, and they know more or less what content they are going to expose.

There will at least be a general direction.

For example... there's a high probability that a legendary figure will be present at today's press conference held at ETStudio.

Indeed... he truly is a legendary figure.

After all, that's Miss Eden!

Backstage, when Xu Qi saw Bronya and Eden appear hand in hand, the entire press conference room erupted in uproar, like boiling water being poured into a pot of oil.

He certainly didn't have the status to go up in this kind of situation, so he just watched from backstage.

Fortunately, Rita was there to keep me company, so it wasn't too boring.

Moreover... he had always wanted to see his Eden sister, to see just what kind of magic and charm she possessed that could drive everyone in the world crazy.

"It seems incredible, doesn't it? But from what I know, Miss Eden is indeed such a woman. The name 'Golden Eden' is widely known among the upper class."

Rita turned and hugged Xu Qi, then whispered in his ear.

Xu Qi looked at Rita beside him. Both of their gazes were somewhat inscrutable, as if one of them was hinting at something, while the other didn't want to understand—it's better to be confused.

In the end, Xu Qi didn't ask anything, he just said...

"Yes, that's how I imagine Sister Eden to be."

……

Rita sighed inwardly, but still echoed Xu Qi's words, "Hmm... but it's also impressive that she can maintain her Bronya supervisor status under Eden's aura."

Xu Qi finally couldn't help but smile.

"Of course, she's Bronya."

He is my boss, and someone I admire.

Rita glanced at Xu Qi, then suddenly smiled and said, "Yes... so this extraordinary woman with such outstanding temperament was guiding you with her hand that day... You must have been very excited, right?"

Xu Qi's expression froze. When did these guys become experts at catching adulterers?

Last time in Hangzhou, Bronya caught you, Rita, cheating. Now it's your turn to retaliate against Bronya, right?

"Looks like I guessed right."

Xu Qi was stunned—was he trying to trick me?

“That day you went to see Bronya, but you came back wearing different pants. Don’t think I can’t tell just because they’re both black trousers. As your maid, you should at least have that much skill.”

Xu Qi gave a bitter smile.

If Mei had been half as shrewd as Rita or Bronya, he wouldn't have lasted until Hiroshima. He would have noticed the strangeness between him and Airi back in Shanghai.

"Sigh, the matter of you and Bronya overseeing things was bound to happen sooner or later, and I can accept that. Besides, how many women are there in the courtyard already?"

Mei didn't say anything, so I didn't feel comfortable saying anything more.

Xu Qi smiled wryly, patted Rita's bottom, and said, "Are you trying to poison my mind?"

With a sly smile, Rita simply clung to Xu Qi and refused to get up. She breathed softly into Xu Qi's ear and said in a gentle voice, "You should really think about how you're going to explain to Mei that you went out to accompany those two beauties to work as supervisors this weekend."

Xu Qi initially looked troubled, but then realized what was happening.

"Explain to Mei?"

"Of course~~ As long as you can get past Mei, everything will be fine. If Mei trusts you, then everything will be fine. If Mei doesn't trust you... then you'll just have to suffer."

Xu Qi touched his chin, then glanced sideways at Rita.

"Speak, what do you want?"

Rita feigned displeasure.

"I am your maid, sir. Isn't it my duty to help you with your troubles?"
