Background and Story Role
Xia Keke was one of Yifei’s early employees, working alongside Qin Xiaoyu in Chen Yi’s small studio. Her original responsibilities covered the Yi Yi Flying Store’s online operations, customer service, product copy, search keywords, and listings for Yifei’s turbofan engines. During Yifei’s first major livestream success, she prepared detailed multi-platform traffic reports after staying up all night handling the surge in attention and wholesale inquiries. 6 9
As Yifei expanded, Chen Yi relied on her for procurement and office support, including ordering AR equipment, high-end computer components, and coordinating deliveries to his workspace. When Yifei restructured, Xia Keke chose to remain at Chen Yi’s original studio and laboratory rather than transfer to the new headquarters under He Yu; Chen Yi accepted the decision and kept her with Qin Xiaoyu. 20 21
Chen Yi later assigned Xia Keke and Qin Xiaoyu responsibility for the daily management of Yifei’s growing laboratory network. She was included in Yifei’s stock-option allocation as a veteran employee, recognizing her role in the company’s early development. 39 44 63
After moving into the experimental base, Xia Keke became involved in confidential logistics, procurement, laboratory coordination, and support for the laser defense array. Her security clearance allowed her to sign for classified documents, though her own confidential identity file would remain sealed for twenty years if she resigned from Yifei. 76 79 97 161
She accompanies Chen Yi and Qin Xiaoyu during major technical and military-related events, including the Red Team exercise and weapons tests. Later, she is entrusted with monitoring international reactions, public opinion, and internal responses to Yifei’s announcements as the company takes on a larger role in space exploration and global affairs. 99 116 172 198
Personality
Xia Keke is outspoken, playful, and highly expressive. She openly complains about Chen Yi’s irregular work habits, teasingly protests his habit of docking bonuses, and frequently turns serious conversations into jokes. Her irreverence is especially visible when she calls attention to unfair treatment, workload, or the restrictions imposed by Yifei’s secrecy requirements. 21 89 97 133
Despite her complaints, she is dependable in practical work. She handles reports, purchases, store operations, livestream support, confidential documents, and Chen Yi’s instructions without hesitation. She also chose to stay with Chen Yi’s smaller team during Yifei’s restructuring rather than work under the more KPI-driven corporate structure she expected at headquarters. 9 20 21 172
She is enthusiastic about technology that can improve her own capabilities. After receiving a Biological Quantum Brain Chip, she described it as a “cheat code,” completed doctoral coursework in several subjects in less than ten days, and planned to study knowledge across every discipline. 198 202
