Far East Destiny Branch Office Building.

"Hey! Did you hear? The company is about to make a big move."

"Really?"

"Would I lie to you about this? My second uncle's neighbor's third aunt's grandson's uncle is an insider."

"Hiss~, the uncle party? Looks like I have no choice but to believe it."

Fu Hua just sat down at her workstation and turned on her computer when she heard her colleagues chattering about news that was neither true nor false.

Upon seeing Fu Hua arrive, a colleague approached and asked, "Fu Hua, aren't you on good terms with the boss? Do you know anything inside information?"

Fu Hua shook her head.

The female employee who initially mentioned internal staff breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As soon as I arrived this morning, Lixue was pulled away to a meeting. There must be something big going on."

Inside the conference room.

Rita released the PowerPoint presentation she had already prepared.

"I think when we start making the game with a different group of people, we should reorganize the project team," Yaqing said, surprising everyone.

The group exchanged glances.

Although I knew long ago that Yaqing had plans to make games, I didn't expect it to happen so soon. The company had just recruited a batch of new people and was about to start splitting up into project teams.

"Isn't this too fast? At least give the new employees some time to adjust."

Salome was worried that the Far East Branch already had very few long-term employees, with more than half being newcomers. Suddenly separating them into project teams could cause both new and old employees to struggle to adapt.

"Don't worry about that, I've transferred some more people from the Schicksal Headquarters."

Yaqing snapped his fingers, signaling Rita to turn to the next page.

The PowerPoint presentation prominently displayed the title: "Honkai: Star Railway".

While waiting for the staff sent by the Schicksal Headquarters, Yaqing also handed the script for the next movie to the women. When they saw the plot of the Sinners Elegy, there was a moment of silence in the conference room.

"You're a devil."

Shigure Kira said in a muffled voice.

"I think the devil is more lovable than the angel."

Yaqing smiled slightly.

He emphasized again that if the characters in the movie could see less of the plot, then they should see less, so that they wouldn't be so amazed when they saw it in the theater.

He even planned to use the Soundwave Simulation he developed to complete some of the plots, only giving Raiden Mei and Kiana a few disjointed lines.

"Go, girls, and fulfill our new dream." Yaqing leaned back in her soft chair.

"We all seem to be older than you," Shub retorted.

As the women gradually left the conference room, Yaqing also got up and returned to her office. As the most competent secretary, Rita was the last to leave the conference room, closed the door.

Back in her office, Yaqing was just about to start writing the world-building copy for the movie when she heard the office door being pushed open.

He stretched and glanced at his watch.

"Rita, time really flies."

Rita, holding the tray, smiled and said, "My Yaqing, busy times always fly by. This is the lunch you ordered for the whole company today, sweet... Sweet Pepper Curry."

Even Rita, the perfect secretary, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of her mouth; she had just finished reading the script for her next movie.

Yaqing ate her Sweet Pepper Curry, the thought of Salome and the others staring at Sweet Pepper Curry and questioning their existence made the curry taste slightly sweet.

"Rita, do you think Sweet Pepper Curry will be spicy?"

Rita's pale hand gripping the tray bulged with veins, and her smile became somewhat stiff. She wished she could pick up the tray and smash it hard on the back of some wretched ghost's head.

But Rita knew she couldn't do that. Her uncle was the most important person in the family, and his opinions and ideas were very important, so she took a deep breath.

He Yaqing was right.

The later stage, that floor.

Cheng Lixue looked at the delivered Sweet Pepper Curry with a bitter expression, a stark contrast to the happiness and excitement of the other unsuspecting employees.

An employee ran over and asked curiously, "Lixue, the boss is treating us, why aren't you eating? It's so delicious!"

Cheng Lixue was lost in thought.

I hope you'll still be this happy after watching your next movie.

Cheng Lixue shook her head, as if she had made a great decision, before she started eating the Sweet Pepper Curry. It wasn't spicy or sweet; it tasted salty in her mouth.

Fu Hua glanced at Cheng Lixue with suspicion. The other party's reaction was strange. Her mind raced, and she thought of the elementary school detective anime she had watched the night before. She suspected that the sweet pepper coffee had been poisoned.

Sherlock Holmes Watson is officially online.

A Shenzhou writer once said that Sweet Pepper Curry is a philosophical food, as it can be tasted differently by each person.

Kiana ate it; the Sweet Pepper Curry was spicy because she had lost consciousness.

The Captain ate, Sweet Pepper Curry was salty because tears had already dripped onto their plates.

However, when the cougars ate it, the Sweet Pepper Curry was sweet. As for how sweet it was, that depended on how salty the Captain preferred.

Yaqing belongs to this type of person.

He even made arrangements with Kalpas to ensure that tonight's dinner at the Golden Courtyard would be Sweet Pepper Curry.

This left Little Knowledge had just finished work, complaining bitterly.

"Ugh! I had Sweet Pepper Curry for lunch at the company today, and now I have Sweet Pepper Curry again when I get home?"

Little Knowledge lay listlessly on the table.

Fu Hua believed in not speaking while eating or sleeping, so she didn't say much.

Everyone else thought the Sweet Pepper Curry was delicious. In fact, it might be the first time Elysia had ever tasted Sweet Pepper Curry. Today, the fairy lady ate three bowls of rice again.

"So delicious! Kalpas, can I have another bowl?"

Kalpas added another bowl. Although the face mask covered her face, you could still see the smug look in her eyes.

Su, as a doctor, looked at Elysia with concern as she ate four bowls of rice.

The Golden Courtyard remains peaceful today.

Chapter 238 Elysia: Eden arrived yesterday, we need to prepare quickly.

On weekends, Schicksal Far East Branch operates on a two-day weekend system. The more days off there are, the less Yaqing wants to go to the company.

"It's so hot."

Su came downstairs, turned on the central air conditioning in the living room, and turned her head to see two strange men sitting at the table.

As for what's strange, there are countless popsicle wrappers on the table, and Kevin and Yaqing are each holding a Green Tongue in one hand, slurping them incessantly.

"Are you guys trying to die?" Su opened the refrigerator and found that two-thirds of the popsicles on the freezer were gone. "No matter how hot it is, you can't eat like this. Can your stomachs handle it?"

Kevin mumbled, "I'm having a contest with Yaqing to see who can withstand the cold the most."

"Then I will definitely win, Kevin the Kevin." Yaqing glared at Kevin.

"Cold resistance?" Mobius, wearing dinosaur pajamas and barefoot, came downstairs and retorted, "If you want to compete in cold resistance, why don't you two go outside and run naked?"

Kevin and Yaqing stopped slurping their popsicles.

Just as Sue was about to stop this foolish idea because of the two of them, Kevin said something that silenced Sue, the great doctor.

"That makes sense. Let's have a speed contest!"

"Hmph, little Kai Jinwen, we must keep him in check."

The two of them were sucking on that poor Green Tongue of theirs at an extremely fast pace.

"It's afternoon again, another boring day, it'll be over soon." Pardo walked downstairs, squatted in front of the air conditioner, opened her mouth, and the cold air blowing in made a strange sound.

"Aru ah ho..."

"Pardo, don't stand in front of the air conditioner, or you'll get a headache," Su said helplessly, telling Pardo to move away.

"By the way, Kevin, where did May go?" Vill-V sat down on the floor and fiddled with his new invention, a robot vacuum cleaner.

Kevin, who was diligently slurping his popsicle, shook his head, thinking that he himself didn't know either.

"Could it be that he secretly went back to the company and stole our money?"

"How could that be?"

Mobius turned on the television.

Pardo suddenly remembered the advertisement on her WeChat Moments. She forwarded it and asked her friends to adopt pets in exchange for cat food. The Canned Food were eating more and more canned food, and she was starting to have trouble affording to feed them anymore.

"Sister Snake, how about we get another dog? I heard there's a pet store having a buy-one-get-two-free promotion." Pardo leaned closer to Mobius.

"You're going to keep three dogs?" Mobius asked with a strange expression.

"No, it's like buying a dog and getting two tadpoles for free," Pardo waved her hand.

"Come on, Pardo, you're telling her to keep a dog?"

Having successfully defeated Kevin, Yaqing confidently left the dining table, walked behind the sofa, and placed her hands on Mobius's shoulders. "You probably don't know that senior sister has a nickname at school, the Experiment Killer Machine. No living experimental subject can survive a day in her hands, and you even let her keep a dog."

Pardo thought about it and realized how close she was to Sister Snake, so she quietly moved a little further away.

"Hmph, I should have tied you to the lab table back then." Mobius sneered, "Why didn't you have that stupid competition with your lackey?"

Yaqing pointed in the direction of the bathroom and said, "He went to the toilet. He won't be out for at least half an hour."

"Then how come you're completely unharmed?" Mobius asked curiously.

"What a joke, I'm from Central Europe..." Yaqing suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach and quickly got up to go upstairs. Kevin had taken over the bathroom on the first floor, so he could only go back to the bathroom in his room.

Watching Yaqing's figure disappear as if fleeing.

Mobius shook his head.

Just like a child.

After finishing her live stream all day, Elysia rushed downstairs.

"What's wrong? Elysia, do you want an ice pop too?"

Mobius took out a few popsicles.

"Oh no! Eden is coming back the day after tomorrow afternoon. Didn't we say we were going to prepare a surprise for her?"

Elysia wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Mobius's expression became even stranger.

"Are you sure? You said it would be the day after tomorrow, the day before yesterday."

Pardo raised her hand. "I testify, Sister Elysia, you seemed to have said the day after tomorrow yesterday as well."

Vill-V, who had been tinkering with the robot vacuum cleaner, also looked up.

"What day is it, Elysia?"

Elysia tapped her chin, thought carefully for a moment, then waved her hand. "At least it won't be yesterday. We still have time to decorate for the ceremony to welcome Eden back, gogo~~"

"This is really troublesome."

Mobius took the ribbon that Elysia had produced from somewhere.

"Alright, let my newly developed robot vacuum cleaner show its power!" Vill-V proudly put her hands on her hips.

Seeing this, Su sighed and said softly, "Let's get a broom ready."

Just as the group was about to decorate the Golden Courtyard, the courtyard gate was pushed open.
