The Coded Messages Between A Qing, Kevin, and Su / Kiana, Mei, Herrscher of Sentience, and Hua's First Day on the Job
"Huh?" Bronya asked with a strange expression. "How could you have such a thought?"
"Didn't you say you were thinking about making games? Schicksal's current development direction is also towards the gaming industry," Yaqing said. "Besides, I acknowledge your technical skills."
Bronya remained silent for a moment.
So long ago, Yaqing thought the other party had hung up the phone.
"I want to try it myself."
Bronya's voice was calm.
"Okay." Since the other party had already given their reply, Yaqing didn't say anything more. Instead, she jokingly said, "I wish your game will be a huge success."
"Hmm? This doesn't sound like something you would say."
"So what should I say, something like, 'Don't come crying to me like a little kitten in the end?'"
"Roll!"
Bronya gritted her teeth in anger and hung up the phone.
Yaqing smiled, and when she heard the door being pushed open, her smile widened. Looking at Mobius, who was sneaking in like a thief, she teased, "Senior, we're a couple, not having an affair."
"If you can't say anything nice, then shut your mouth." Mobius sneered.
In the hallway outside, in the room next to Yaqing's, Kevin, who was about to get up in the middle of the night, vaguely saw a dark figure slip into Yaqing's room, which immediately startled him awake.
Kevin rushed forward, thinking the yard had been burgled, and tried to turn the doorknob, only to find the door locked.
"Yaqing, are you inside?"
Hearing the doorknob turn, Mobius jumped, and upon hearing Kevin's voice, she seemed to see her future before her eyes.
Yaqing was also a little flustered. If Kevin found out that Mobius had come to his room in the middle of the night, with Kevin's big mouth, the whole courtyard would probably know by tomorrow.
"Senior, the wardrobe."
Yaqing reminded him, Mobius realized what was happening and quickly hid in the closet, not daring to make a sound.
Yaqing went over, feigning displeasure, and said, "Hey Kevin, what are you up to in the middle of the night? Still thinking about playing games? Aren't you going to work tomorrow?"
Kevin said worriedly, "I just saw a dark figure. I'm afraid a thief has broken into your room."
"A thief? Are you kidding me? With Brother Jie here, which petty thief would dare to come into the courtyard?"
"But..." Kevin was convinced that he hadn't been seeing things.
Just then, Su heard a noise in the hallway, opened the door, and asked, "What's wrong with you two? Staying up so late isn't good for your health."
"Ask him." When Yaqing saw Su Ye dragging her into this, she felt flustered. Su wasn't as easy to fool as Kevin.
"I just..."
Kevin was about to explain to Sue.
Yaqing spoke up.
"Kevin, do you remember the story that Ling told Pardo? Legend has it that in the dead of night in the courtyard, a demon will appear disguised as someone close to you. When you... Kosma has also seen it. Believe me, this is more than just a story."
Yaqing's tone was low.
Kevin shivered, feeling the air around him grow colder.
"In the story Ling told, you'll only be safe if you stay in your room."
"Hahaha... maybe I was just seeing things. I'm going back to... going back to sleep now." Kevin laughed awkwardly, trying to hide his fear of the ghost story, and retreated to his room.
I was supposed to get up at night, but I suddenly lost the urge.
Yaqing breathed a sigh of relief.
Su gave him a meaningful look and said, "Then I won't bother 'you guys' any longer. Be careful not to stay out too late; it's not good for your health."
Hearing Su emphasize the word "you," Yaqing's heart skipped a beat, but thankfully Su didn't say anything more.
Close the door and then lock it again.
"Call..."
Yaqing breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Mobius poked his head out from the wardrobe. "They didn't suspect anything, did they?"
"Kevin definitely didn't, but I don't know if Sue noticed."
Yaqing answered truthfully.
Mobius came out of the cabinet.
It was only then that Yaqing noticed that, although it was already summer and the nights were still a bit chilly, Mobius was wearing an autumn black coat that covered his calves.
"Senior, with your outfit, it's no wonder Kevin mistook you for a thief," Yaqing said with a smile.
Mobius did not refute, her pretty face displaying a charming expression. Her serpentine, boneless hand brushed against the belt of her coat, and she tempted, "Then guess, am I wearing something underneath, or not?"
Yaqing's eyes widened.
Underneath that coat was...
Because the head of Yaqing's bed faces the wall on Kevin's side, the constantly swaying bed would occasionally bump into the wall.
Kevin, who had already fallen asleep, was startled by the noise from next door. Then, as if making some connection to something, he silently pulled the blanket over his head.
"Amitabha Buddha... May God protect us..."
Before the sun had even risen, Mobius furtively opened the door and headed up to the third floor.
Kevin, who could no longer hold it in, saw this scene again and silently closed the door once more.
Chapter 215 The Secret Code Between Yaqing, Kevin, and Su / Qiya's First Day at Qiya Shihua
Early morning.
While having breakfast, Kevin told everyone what had happened in the early morning, which caused a burst of laughter. Apart from the frightened Pardo and the believer Kosma, Ling, who made up the story, laughed the most.
"Haha... cough cough... hahahaha, Kevin, you actually believed it." Ling laughed so hard she coughed.
Sakura patted her back with a helpless expression.
"I really saw it!"
Kevin's excited expression even made May suspect that he might have developed a mental illness due to excessive work pressure recently.
Only Yaqing and Mobius, who knew everything, obediently drank their porridge, as if the plain white porridge was some kind of heavenly delicacy, not even eating a bite of pickled vegetables.
Su understood perfectly.
"How about we give him the day off today? Otherwise, I'm worried he might be at the company..." As a severe schizophrenic patient, Vill-V was very clear about the early symptoms of schizophrenia.
"I'm not crazy!"
"Okay, I understand."
Mei's comforting words were useless. Kevin could see the worry in her eyes, and he hurriedly pointed at Yaqing and said, "Yaqing can testify for me. I really saw a dark figure dart into his room yesterday."
All eyes immediately turned to Yaqing.
Yaqing looked up, looking confused.
"I don't know, I went to bed very early yesterday." Yaqing's eyes were like those of a clear-eyed, naive college student.
"Huh?!" Kevin's eyes widened.
Hearing Yaqing's answer, everyone became even more convinced.
"And Su!"
Kevin was still unwilling to give up.
Su remained as gentle as ever. Although she knew what had happened, she still wanted to help them keep it a secret, so she said, "Kevin, from a doctor's point of view, you can go out for a walk to clear your head, like to the shrine next to the Chiyu Academy."
The shrine next to the Chiyu Academy?
Kevin suddenly calmed down. This sentence was like a code, which only he, Yaqing, and Su could hear. He looked at Yaqing, and Yaqing nodded almost imperceptibly.
Seeing Kevin quiet, Mei's worry deepened.
Kevin, having figured out the development of the story and understood what the demon was all about, glared at Yaqing with dissatisfaction and replied, "It's really nice, the scenery is beautiful, and I heard that the fortune-telling is quite accurate."
Yaqing breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that Kevin was willing to keep it a secret for him.
Mobius asked in a low voice, "What code are you using?"
"Brother's secret."
The morning's farce passed in the blink of an eye. After breakfast, it was time to go to school or work. Mei and Kevin went to the shrine next to the Senba Academy together.
Today is Kiana and Mei's first day at work.
Yaqing recruited many outstanding graduates from the St. Freya Academy, which greatly reduced Cheng Lixue's workload.
"Here, these are your work badges." Salo handed the work badges that she had prepared to Kiana and Mei.
"Which department are Mei and I Mei?" Kiana, with her high ponytail, looked less silly and more heroic.
"You'll have to ask Yaqing about that." Salome was busy organizing the information of the newly hired employees and assigning them to departments, and Kiana and Mei's personal information was not in her hands.
"This is too much trouble, we still need to ask Uncle." Kiana pulled Mei, wanting to go to the top floor to find Yaqing.
"Kiana, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Mei felt that going to the boss on the first day of work would leave a stereotype, such as us getting in through connections.
"What does it matter? If there's a problem, you should go to him. When my older sister found a problem at headquarters, she went directly to President Otto."
In Kiana's mind, Yaqing and Otto are not her bosses, but her elders, so she subconsciously seeks their help to solve her problems.
"But..."
Mei was still pulled away by Kiana.
Taking the elevator to the top floor, Kiana unceremoniously pushed open the door to Yaqing's office.
"You stinky uncle! Which department did Mei and I get assigned to?"
Yaqing looked up at Kiana, who had rushed in, and Mei, who was embarrassed, and said, "Don't rush, sit down and have some tea first."
"I won't drink that! It's bitter, just like the bitter melon juice from my Aunt."
"Perfect timing, I don't like it either." Yaqing took out a large bottle of soda from under her desk, poured it for both of them, and said, "Mei is most likely in the modeling department, and you should be in the voice acting department."
"Huh?! Why aren't Mei and I in the same department?" Kiana exclaimed when she heard that she and Mei weren't in the same department.
"Kiana, what I mean is that even if you and Mei are in the same department, it's still difficult for you to communicate during work hours."
Mei quietly tugged at Kiana's sleeve.
Kiana knew she was there for "training," so she didn't make too many demands on the matter. Instead, she changed the subject and asked curiously, "Uncle, now that we've joined the company, can we see what happens next in the story?"
Kiana joined the team largely because of her love for the Honkai series and her interest in discussing the subsequent storyline.
"That's possible, but we'll talk about it after your probation period."
"How could this happen!"
Due to the influx of new employees, Yaqing divided the Far East Branch into two parts. The veteran employees continued to work on film production, while the new employees took charge of web series production.
Honkai 4: When a Meteor Strikes the Night Sky has officially been put on the agenda. The plot text materials have been handed over to the old man, and Shub has begun to contact voice actors.
The first person they contacted was Fu Hua, who has a significant role in the film.
"Why?!"
Fu Hua and Little Knowledge were also invited to join the Far East Branch Schicksal. As a new employee, Fu Hua was assigned to the post-production department and was prepared to receive the same treatment as Cheng Lixue.
Little Knowledge was assigned to the dubbing department, a relatively easier department compared to others.
When Salo told Little Knowledge to contact Fu Hua, she heard that Fu Hua had a lot more plot developments, and Little Knowledge lay on the table questioning her life.
"No, what makes this old fogey so special?"
Little Knowledge felt increasingly aggrieved as she thought about how her role was nowhere to be seen. She decided to go upstairs to question Yaqing about when she would finally appear in the role that she had been promised a year ago.
When Little Knowledge arrived upstairs, Yaqing was no longer there.
As a notorious Salary Thief in the Schicksal, Yaqing ostensibly went to find the voice actors for Jackal and Raven, but everyone knew what he really wanted to do.
