Salome: You're All Spoiling Her / A Qing and Otto Face Off!
"What... are you doing?"
Hearing that familiar voice, Elysia turned her head in disbelief.
Eden, dressed in a burgundy mini-skirt, her fair skin gleaming in the sunlight, revealing smooth shoulders and long, slender legs, stood at the doorway, looking at them with a puzzled expression.
"Eden is back today. Didn't you know? I saw you were all busy, so I had Little Knowledge and Hua come with me to pick him up from the airport." Mei stood next to Eden.
Fu Hua and Little Knowledge, who practice martial arts, were carrying suitcases.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Elysia. Elysia stuck out her tongue, trying to get away with it, but seeing that they were still looking at her, she rushed towards Eden.
"Eden, I miss you so much!"
Eden caught Elysia as she lunged at him.
"Eden, welcome back." The crowd gathered around.
In this extremely joyful atmosphere, these people happily forgot that there were two other people squatting on the toilet. As expected, Yaqing and Kevin had diarrhea because they had eaten too many popsicles.
Kevin, pale-faced from the strain that nearly caused his anus to prolapse, was the first to push open the toilet door. Upon seeing Eden, he forced a smile and said, "Eden, welcome back."
Eden was startled to see Kevin like this.
"Kevin, what... what happened to you?"
Mei said irritably, "Eden, don't worry about him. He brought it all on himself."
Eden was about to go back to his room to pack his clothes when he saw Yaqing coming out of the bathroom. Yaqing was also pale and unsteady on her feet, looking like a ghost, lifeless.
"He... he brought this on himself?"
Mobius chimed in, "Him? He's just plain crazy."
Eden continued upstairs, fearing that another person in the same state as the previous two might appear at any moment.
Mobius said that Yaqing was mentally ill, but he still handed him the medicine as if it were for diarrhea, raised his little face, snorted coldly, and walked away.
Yaqing held the medicine in her hand, feeling warm inside, but her stomach was cramping.
He frowned.
I went back to the bathroom.
Golden Courtyard is still happy today.
Chapter 239 Salome: Just Spoil Me As You Like
After Eden returned, the happiest person was Elysia. She often dragged Eden around Changkong City, and they could be seen everywhere, from amusement parks and shopping malls to movie theaters.
Yaqing and Mobius also had a wonderful weekend.
It refers to sitting on the sofa under the air conditioner and watching cartoons.
Perhaps those cartoons are too childish for elementary school students, but they are just right for the two of them.
It's Monday again.
A listless Yaqing returned to the company, sat down at her desk, and yawned.
"... Didn't you sleep well last night?" Salome, who was giving a work report, hesitated for a moment before asking.
"I didn't sleep at all."
Yaqing's dark circles are getting darker and darker. He is now feeling a sense of fear towards the Golden Courtyard. Every night he wants to lock the door from the inside, but if he does, he will have to go and coax someone the next day.
"Hehe, impressive," Salome said calmly.
"I know."
Yaqing has read it and replied randomly.
When is the web series scheduled to be released?
Sayami asked seriously.
"Uh..." Yaqing paused, then asked, "Which one are you talking about? The one from Durandal, or the one with Va-2 and Va-3?"
"Two?" Salome was surprised. As the director, she didn't have a single script for a web series. "The one about Durandal."
"It's not written well."
"That number is a special one."
"It's not written well either." Yaqing spread her hands.
Salome's hands trembled as she held the document, her heart pounding with rage as she wanted to smash it in Yaqing's face. Suppressing her emotions, she said, "I remember you started writing web series scripts about six months ago, right?"
Yaqing scratched his head and turned his face away.
"What's there to be ashamed of?! You jerk!" Salome was going crazy. Ever since Yaqing started dating, he's been like a different person. He used to joke around, but he was still dedicated to his work. Now...
He's a complete lazy bum.
"Oh, right!" Yaqing thought of a brilliant excuse, stood up and said, "Look, the people sent by the Schicksal Headquarters haven't arrived yet, and the branch office has just been divided into groups. Where do we have so much time and energy to make web dramas? I'm doing this all for your own good."
Yaqing's sanctimonious demeanor reminded Salome of how Otto's secretary, Amber, felt. Unlike Rita, she needed Yaqing's approval.
"For our own good?" Salome sneered. "Frankly, where are you in the web series writing right now?"
Upon seeing Salome emanating from her body, Yaqing silently pushed the notebook further inward, a sunny smile spreading across her face. "Salome, I'm sure I've written half of it."
Yaqing was deceiving herself.
They say the beginning is always the hardest, but once you've written the beginning, you're practically halfway there.
Salome was almost driven crazy and of course didn't believe his nonsense. She said coldly, "I've been in a bad mood these past few days. Yaqing, you should just stay in the office and write your script. I'll tell Rita not to prepare anything for afternoon tea today."
"No!" Yaqing blurted out.
Afternoon tea is essential to him; without it, how could he possibly stay at the company until 4 p. m.? He would have made an excuse to leave at noon.
"Snort."
Salome ignored him completely, left the office, and closed the door behind her.
Yaqing was instantly as if she had lost her soul.
He typed on the keyboard like a machine.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Yaqing habitually glanced at her watch and realized it was time for afternoon tea, but Rita was nowhere to be seen.
Life is tough, Yaqing sighed.
"Knock knock".
Hearing the knock on the door, Yaqing regained her composure, cleared her throat, and realized that most of the company's employees were new hires, so she had to maintain a CEO-like demeanor in front of them.
"Enter."
Rita remained as elegant as ever, but she gave off a thieving vibe.
"Rita!" Yaqing looked at the newcomer in surprise.
"Shh." Rita put her index finger to her lips, and with her other hand she took out a tray from behind her back, on which was laid out an exquisite afternoon tea, and even a cup of refreshing hand-ground coffee.
"Yaqing, what did you do to anger Director Salome today?" Rita placed the afternoon tea on the desk one by one.
"Rita, you're so kind." Yaqing didn't hear Rita's question at all, her eyes only on the exquisite afternoon tea.
Rita shook her head.
When Rita recalled Salome storming over to her that morning, she thought she had done something wrong. But when she heard that she shouldn't prepare afternoon tea for Yaqing, she was both amused and exasperated.
At the same time, she also thought that since Salome wouldn't allow her to deliver it, wouldn't it be another opportunity to gain favor with Bianka's elders if she secretly delivered it herself?
After Yaqing finished eating, Rita, who considered herself the "perfect secretary," placed the plates on a tray and took them away. Just as she left Yaqing's office and turned a corner in the corridor, she ran into Salome.
Even Rita felt somewhat embarrassed.
Salome knew what had happened when she saw the tray in Rita's hands, and sighed, "Just spoil him."
"You guys?" Rita was puzzled, wondering where the word "you guys" came from.
"Hahaha... The sun is shining so brightly today." Shigure Kira walked out from another corner, looking at the sky outside, and hid the snacks in her hand behind her back.
It's cloudy outside right now.
As soon as Salome finished speaking, a clap of thunder sounded, and a torrential downpour began.
"Hahaha... I've always enjoyed watching rainy scenes Shigure Kira lied through her teeth.
"Well."
Salome sighed again.
She thought about it carefully and realized that everyone around her was obsessed with romance.
"Then what are you doing here Salome?" Shigure Kira realized that this was not the time for reporting work. Why was Salome here? After all, this floor only had Yaqing's office.
"Of course I am..."
Salome was speechless, but then she found a reason.
"Of course I'm here to arrest you."
Rita looked at Salome's hands behind her back with amusement, but didn't expose her.
"Oh~~" Shigure Kira was different. "Then what are you holding behind you? Let me see."
Shigure Kira took a step forward, preparing to rush behind Salome.
Salome reacted quickly and turned her back again.
But this time, she exposed her back to Rita's view. When Rita saw Salome holding a potato chip and a Coke in her hands, she understood immediately.
Salome was just all talk and no action.
Because the office was very soundproof, Yaqing was unaware of what was happening in the hallway outside and continued typing away like a machine.
The Schicksal Far East Branch is peaceful today.
Chapter 240 Yaqing and Otto clash!
While writing the plot for a web series in his office, Yaqing received a call from Otto. He was a little confused because, due to the time difference between the Far East and Central Europe, it should be late at night for Otto.
Why did Otto call him so late at night?
Yaqing was a little confused, but she still answered the phone.
"My dear CEO, I wonder what instructions you have that require me to give them so late at night?"
Otto remained vigilant towards Yaqing, seeing her as a Yaqing of himself, someone who knew him better than anyone.
"Yaqing, my old friend, I'm calling you so late at night so as not to interfere with your good time. I think it should be afternoon where you are, right?"
On the surface, Otto and Yaqing's conversation seemed to offer no insight or reveal any crucial clues, but upon closer examination, it became clear that neither of these two foxes had let the other off the hook.
"President, my good thing is work. My ideal is to bring the Honkai series to the big screen," Yaqing said with a light smile.
"Hahaha, the Far East really is a great place." Otto laughed a few times. "I didn't expect that just going back for a year could change a person's mindset. The Far East is indeed good. I'm even a little worried about my little Theresa."
Otto's sarcastic tone made Yaqing frown.
"President, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Yaqing decided to cut to the chase and be direct with Otto.
"My friend, I remember saying that you deceived me." Otto said calmly, "You didn't tell me the whole story of Kallen; you've been hiding something from me."
Otto even seemed to grit his teeth by the end.
Did I hide it?
Yaqing asked the question knowing the answer already.
