We moved to Golden Courtyard

427. I can't breathe...

At dawn, Bronya slowly opened her eyes, and the scent that rushed towards her instantly woke her up! But soon, when she saw the man's face clearly, she calmed down again.

Xu Qi...

She slowly sat up, the thin blanket falling off her body, revealing her smooth and white skin, leaving her large breasts exposed.

Without trying to hide it, Bronya stretched comfortably.

His face was full of contentment.

I glanced down and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed—my body was covered in red marks… Seriously, just how much does this guy like kissing me…?

I turned my head and glanced at Xu Qi, who was still fast asleep.

A gentle smile crept onto Bronya's face.

No matter how much he messed around last night, he didn't go all the way. Although it forced me to use other methods to get it done for him, I was still very happy.

At her age, Bronya knew to some extent that men had many ways of deceiving women, especially in bed.

If Xu Qi wanted to, he could have taken her virginity long ago, even if it wasn't last night, during an intimate moment when she was distracted and not paying attention.

Since the deed is done, it's only natural that you can do whatever you want afterward.

But he didn't...

Bronya recalled the words the nun had spoken in the church that day.

……

Do you think that such a sunny young man has basic respect and consideration for everyone and longs for mutual understanding with everyone?

Do you think someone like that would harbor resentment towards you simply because of the outcome of a deep love? The important thing... is whether your feelings can be conveyed to each other.

……

Bronya lay back down and covered herself with the blanket.

There was only one quilt. As soon as Bronya sat up, half of Xu Qi's body was exposed. Afraid that Xu Qi would catch a cold, she covered herself with the quilt again and pressed herself against it.

I'm getting close to Xu Qi, hehe!

Before long, Xu Qi woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Bronya's big, blinking eyes staring at him with a smile.

Her smooth shoulders peeked out from under the covers, half-hidden, which was quite alluring.

"Duck? Good morning..."

Her voice was still a little slurred, but Bronya's smile widened—so cute!

Xu Qi reached out and pulled the blanket up to cover Bronya's shoulders, then hugged her tightly, murmuring something under his breath.

"Cover yourself up, don't catch a cold, sleep a little longer..."

"Oh."

Just like what she thought when she woke up this morning...

Not wanting to snuggle into Xu Qi's arms, she hugged him and pulled him closer. Remembering how much Xu Qi liked her private parts last night, she suppressed her shyness and pressed Xu Qi's head between his large penises.

Xu Qi: ?

Clearly, Bronya overlooked the extent of her softness.

A short while later, Xu Qi struggled to lift his head and began to breathe heavily.

"Xu Qi?"

"You... Ugh... Are you trying to suffocate me this early in the morning?!"

Bronya was taken aback at first, then immediately exclaimed in embarrassment and annoyance, "What!...What is it! I'm giving you some perks and you're not happy about it?"

"You call that welfare? That's murdering your husband!"

As soon as Xu Qi finished speaking, Bronya embraced him again.

"Ugh!...Stop...making a scene..."

"Hmph! I'll suffocate you! Ouch! ...You...you stop biting me...you're cheating!"

······

When I arrived at the company this morning and sat down at my seat, I heard a teasing remark from the person next to me.

"President Bronya served you very well last night, didn't she?"

Xu Qi turned his head and saw that Rita had already started working at her computer.

Raising an eyebrow, he leaned forward to make some small movements, but Rita warned him, "We're outside now, don't do anything reckless."

"Forehead……"

"Also, you're covered in Bronya's scent, so don't touch me until it dissipates."

"All right……"

Seeing Xu Qi return to his seat looking aggrieved, Rita didn't know whether to laugh or cry—is he just a child?

Stretching, Xu Qi turned on his computer, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes—Bronya's words from last night were still lingering in his mind.

……

"In other words, you have to create enough value, right?"

……

Xu Qi was lost in thought, lightly tapping her fingers on the table when she suddenly felt a warm, soft touch on her cheek.

Xu Qi was startled and turned his head, just in time to see Rita leaning close to him, clearly having just kissed him.

"What? Is our little supervisor feeling wronged because the maid is ignoring you?"

"Rita?"

"Alright, sir... It's not the first or second time. If I get jealous every time, I'll die of jealousy sooner or later."

"You're not angry with me?"

"Who's angry with you? Stop overthinking things."

Xu Qi revealed a gentle smile.

"Then can you help me look up a few data points?"

"I'm really angry now."

Xu Qi didn't even care that several productions had already started early in the morning; he simply hugged Rita and pleaded.

"No, you're my best maid. I don't know how to do my work without you."

Rita sat blankly on Xu Qi's lap. She quickly turned around to look behind her, while the production staff who had just arrived in the office were all working diligently with their heads down.

But in the end, it was just burying one's head in the sand.

Rita was extremely embarrassed and angry. She stood up and pulled Xu Qi into his original large, private office.

As soon as he entered, before he could even say anything to him, Xu Qi hugged him from behind and pressed him against the office door.

"Xu!...Ugh!"

With her mouth covered, she had to swallow back anything she wanted to say. But halfway through the kiss, Rita took the initiative and hugged Xu Qi, starting to respond proactively.

"call……"

With her cheeks flushed, the maid glared at her master.

"All you do is bully people..."

"Then I'll leave it to you?"

Rita rolled her eyes seductively—"Who else do you want to give it to?"

Indeed... this is his personal secretary.

······

"So, Manager Xu rushed into my office so urgently this morning... did he have some instructions?"

Two months of getting to know each other had made Qian Chen and Xu Qi quite familiar with each other.

Indeed, they can only be considered acquaintances—Xu Qi could win Rita over with love in a month, but he couldn't become friends with a department manager like Qian Chen in two months.

But that's normal.

Xu Qi didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I'm thinking of increasing the benefits for your department's employees, like raising the National Day bonus. What do you think?"

……

Qian Chen picked up his water glass and took a sip of goji berry tea.

"Manager Xu, is this some kind of lame joke I don't know?"

"The publicity department just needs to continue its work as usual. I'll handle the negotiations for benefits. All I need is your support, Minister Qian."

……

He was serious.

Qian Chen narrowed his eyes, and after a moment's thought, he understood.

“I know what you’re going to do, and it sounds pretty good…” In just a blink of an eye, the youngest department manager in ETStudio’s history had completed all the pros and cons in his mind.

Qian Chen smiled.

"I agree."

428. Saying you were played by Bronya in a rich woman game.

"So, is that your reason for going along with his nonsense? National Day bonus? Or is it just for fun?"

In Bronya's office, ETStudio's youngest department manager and youngest studio director stood opposite her.

"A little bit of both," Qian Chen said with a smile.

"Manager Xu must have his own considerations. It would be better for the president to listen to him."

Bronya then turned her gaze to Xu Qi.

However, there might be a hint of amusement in his eyes, after all...

"Only those who create value deserve more resources; hard work is merely a necessity. I apologize for my thoughtless words and actions the day before yesterday."

Bronya smiled after Xu Qi said just one sentence.

That's how it is...

Effort and hard work are never excuses; they are simply expected. In a company like this, the value you create determines everything.

"So, can you answer me now? Do you think Seed Studio should increase the bonuses?"

"should."

"reason."

"We will complete the PV production on schedule, and we can guarantee that the results of this promotion will far exceed the company's expectations."

Are there specific standards?

"some."

As he spoke, Xu Qi took out a report document.

"These are the various data points that the company has achieved in the promotion and distribution of its key IP projects over the years, including the number of views on mainstream media within a single day."

In addition to forwarding data and discussion popularity data on mainstream websites and forums, there are many other data, which I will not go into detail about.

I can guarantee that Alahato Seed, with just pageviews (PV) alone, will shatter all the metrics that the company has previously considered its highlights!

……

"Therefore, this bonus is not only an affirmation of everyone's hard work during this period, but also an advance recognition of the value of Seed Studio and the relevant publicity department's crowdfunding efforts!"

This embodies the company's trust in everyone's ability to accomplish this! It helps strengthen grassroots cohesion among department and studio employees, and better…
