Kiana was startled and scrambled towards the office door.

"Rita, save me!"

Kiana hid behind Rita.

Rita looked at the angry Yaqing and felt a chill in her heart. She kept thinking about which was more important, her sister-in-law's approval or her uncle's approval.

Just then, Kiana whispered something in Rita's ear.

This made Rita realize her inner thoughts, and she resolutely stood in front of Kiana.

Yaqing was panting.

For someone who loves snacks, this feeling is no less than the frustration of having a mischievous kid smash your treasured figurines to pieces during Chinese New Year.

He likes to collect two things: snacks and fine wine.

Kiana doesn't like drinking alcohol, so she devoured all of his snacks.

Yaqing forced herself to calm down; the main concern right now wasn't Kiana, but Salome.

"Kiana, you are not allowed to enter my office from now on."

Kiana nodded vigorously, as if she were pounding garlic.

As the saying goes, "A mother's love is more important than her uncle's." Not only was Durandal "educated" by Yaqing when she was young, but she and Sirin were also beaten with sticks. The experience of being whipped with a belt made her afraid to have that spoiled princess temper now.

"Rita, tidy up your office and tell Salome I'm waiting for her in the conference room."

Rita nodded, her mind perfectly clear.

She knew why Yaqing had come to the company so suddenly—it wasn't because someone had complained, but because Salome had something to say, or rather, Cheng Lixue and Salome had teamed up...

Kiana's eyes gleamed with intelligence as she quietly made her way away. This place was too terrifying; she couldn't stay.

Yaqing opened a bottle of her treasured wine and waited for Salome in the conference room.

Not long after.

Salome then came over.

Behind her was a man she didn't recognize. Apart from the older staff, she probably hadn't seen anyone like him who was recruited later in the branch.

He had met at least one of the outstanding graduates of St. Freya.

"President Yaqing, this is Immer from the Rear Division."

Immer?

Yaqing did indeed recognize the name. It was a creative talent that he and Salome both felt they had to recruit, but they had never had the chance to meet.

After all, he hadn't been with the company for long, and Immer was in the busiest post-production department.

Immer's expression betrayed his barely suppressed excitement.

"President Yaqing... President Yaqing, I've long admired your name. I've always wanted to meet you. I'm your idol... no, you're my idol."

Immer was so excited that he blurted out whatever came to mind.

Yaqing patted Immer on the shoulder, signaling him not to be nervous.

"Immer, you made a fan-made film on your own outside of work. Patrick and I thought it was pretty good, so we called you over to take a look."

Yaqing couldn't help but look at Immer with newfound respect.

These are not just ordinary fan-made videos; they are cinematic-quality fan-made videos... These are truly talented individuals.

"Then I'll have to take a good look at it."

Yaqing said with a smile.

"President Yaqing, I just wrote this randomly. It's nothing compared to the script by screenwriter Zhenli."

Immer scratched his head.

"Immer, a lack of self-confidence is a prerequisite for failure. I haven't even seen it yet, and you're already making fun of yourself?"

Yaqing made a joke, which calmed Immer's restless heart.

Chapter 450 Theresa's Defenses Are Broken!

Immer's hands were already sweating with nervousness.

The computer was connected to the large screen behind Yaqing.

Immer swallowed hard, his nervousness beyond words, a mixture of shame and fear. His trembling fingers clicked the mouse, the click sound like a giant hammer striking his heart.

Yaqing and Salome sat together, looking at the big screen.

The serious expressions on their faces made Immer even more nervous.

As it turns out, people laugh even when they're at their most speechless, especially at the beginning of a fan-made film, where Yaqing couldn't help but laugh.

He had to admit that Immer was the most respected creator of Theresa in the Far East Branch.

Perhaps this movie will bring him unexpected benefits.

After watching the whole thing, Yaqing was a little impressed by Immer's brain. Nonsensical comedy is the most difficult thing, but Immer was able to blend a series of funny styles very well.

When Immer saw that the movie was almost over and Yaqing hadn't smiled more than a few times, his heart sank.

Nervous, uneasy, ashamed.

A mix of complex emotions swirled in his mind.

"Can."

Yaqing's two light words seemed to bring a ray of hope to Immer, who suddenly raised his head.

"Really... really?"

Immer's expression was like that of a primary school student about to receive praise from his teacher.

"I had completely forgotten that the post-production department had someone as talented as you."

Yaqing said with a half-smile.

Her tone was ambiguous, as if she were saying something nice, but also as if she were saying the opposite of what she meant, leaving Immer completely unsure of what emotions Yaqing was expressing, and feeling extremely uneasy.

"Immer, may I ask you a question?"

Immer immediately stood at attention.

"May I ask you something?"

With a forced smile, Yaqing said, "Why is that Dr. Daya bald? He doesn't even have facial features, just an NPC with the character 'Ya' written on his head?!"

Yaqing was furious.

He has never shown his true face in the story. Even the Captain whose appearance is based on him has red hair. Now, he doesn't even have facial features. His face only has a big "A" written on it.

I'm shivering and freezing!

Isn't this bullying honest people?!

Yaqing was furious.

Immer was startled and instinctively looked at Salome.

Salome whistled silently, her eyes glancing at the ceiling as if she were looking at a starry sky rather than the ceiling.

Yaqing saw Salome's guilty expression, he knew whose idea it was.

It's highly unlikely that Salome came up with it; it's more likely that Cheng Lixue and Shigure Kira came up with it, and then Patrick, Shub, and Salome agreed to it.

"Well."

Yaqing didn't know how his sister had put up with these subordinates back then. Anyway, he felt that having such subordinates was a blessing.

Yaqing's sigh chilled Immer's heart.

"Immer, I need to add a few things to the script you wrote. For example, the ending where I become the villain is a bit too uncontrast-free. It would be best to reveal some details about the later characters. It's a pity that this script cannot be released under the company's name."

Upon hearing Yaqing's words, Immer felt disappointed.

"Immer, although President Yaqing said it cannot be done in the company's name, you can release it in your personal capacity."

Salome explained, shaking her head inwardly. Yaqing was just being childish, pretending without considering the consequences, so she could only indulge her.

Immer's eyes lit up.

"The official website's innovation and entrepreneurship section is currently lacking a leader."

Immer's breathing became heavier.

The reason Yaqing released the character data in the first place was to encourage fans to create excellent fan works, even though the legal department of Schicksal suppressed it, making people afraid to use the character data for SeSe.

However, the official website's fan creation section is filled with nothing but dancing and suggestive content; finding a fan creation with a storyline is harder than climbing to heaven.

Immer's mind is now filled with:

"The leader... the leader... the leader..."

Immer muttered something to himself.

Fu Hua, who was also in the later stages of the project, came over and asked, "What happened to Immer?"

Immer used to be a caregiver at the Aponia Sanatorium. After learning this during their conversation, Fu Hua instantly became closer to him.

"The leader!"

Immer suddenly roared.

Fu Hua was startled and didn't understand Immer's sudden change in mood.

Yaqing gave Immer a special day off.

Little Knowledge, who had just finished vomiting in the toilet, saw Kiana sneaking around as soon as he got to his workstation and couldn't resist patting Kiana's pert buttocks.

Everyone says Kiana's butt is the soul of Honkai, and when Little Knowledge patted it, it certainly felt that way. It had the texture of jelly, soft yet elastic, making Little Knowledge unable to resist pinching it.

"Ugh...!"

Kiana was startled when she was suddenly slapped on the butt, and her face turned red with embarrassment.

"Little Knowledge, what are you doing?"

Kiana complained to Little Knowledge.

"It feels really good!"

Little Knowledge's smile is just like a female hooligan.

"..."

Kiana blushed. In the past, she was the one teasing Mei, but today it was her turn to be teased, and she was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak. It was truly a case of the attacker being the one who was...

"What's wrong? Why are you acting like a thief when you get back to your post? Did you get into trouble again?"

Little Knowledge leaned against her desk at her workstation.

Kiana hesitantly told Little Knowledge what had just happened.

Little Knowledge was immediately amused and laughed so hard he almost fell over.

"Hahahaha... You mean you ate all the snacks that Yaqing had treasured? Hahahaha..."

"Shh!"

Seeing that Little Knowledge's unrestrained laughter was attracting the attention of many staff members in the dubbing department, Kiana quickly pulled Little Knowledge back and gestured for her to keep her voice down.

"OKOK..."

Little Knowledge suppressed a laugh.

"Then you're doomed. Yaqing values those snacks more than his own life. Even Mobius only ate a little bit. Now you've eaten them all. He'll skin you alive."

Although Little Knowledge said it was alarmist, Kiana's external brain wasn't with her at the moment, so she took it seriously.

"What should we do then?!"

Seeing Kiana's anxious and frightened expression, Little Knowledge couldn't help but feel curious.

Kiana caused quite a bit of trouble at the St. Freya Academy, and was always scolded by Himeko and Theresa. She was never that afraid of them. So why is she so afraid of Yaqing today?
