Mobius said indifferently: "I've already planned all these things out. The follow-up filming and promotion for Honkai Impact 3rd will require a considerable amount of funds. The surplus can be used to hire more post-production and special effects staff, and we'll also need to purchase songs…"
She was listing out everything that needed to be done after receiving the investment.
Suddenly, cheerful footsteps echoed from outside.
Just from hearing those footsteps, the two of them asked in unison: "Elysia? She's back."
Sure enough!
A dozen seconds later,
the office door was pushed open by Elysia.
She excitedly said to the two of them: "Look what I brought you."
Hessian looked in her direction and couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation.
Mobius's face instantly darkened, and she shouted without holding back: "Elysia!! You went and signed more female artists on your own again!!!"
Elysia giggled: "These are girls we met while drinking—they're all so cute."
She stepped aside and pushed forward the three girls she had just signed: "This is Cecilia—she's very gentle~"
"This is Rita. Don't we need a secretary? I think she's perfect for it!"
"And this is Fu Hua. I don't know why, but the moment I saw her, I felt I absolutely had to sign her to the company."
The three of them also greeted Hessian and Mobius: "Hello."
Mobius was utterly furious at this moment. They had only just secured investment—the funds hadn't even arrived yet—and this woman had already squandered it.
Hessian spoke up in time: "Ellie, you didn't just sign these three, did you?"
Elysia replied: "As expected of my husband—you understand me so well! Actually, there are a few more, like Tesla and Einstein. They saw our PV and proactively wanted to join the company as technical staff."
"There's… more??"
Mobius stood frozen in place.
Her mind was filled with images of the company going bankrupt.
Hessian smiled: "As expected of my wife. We were short on actors for Honkai Impact 3rd anyway—we can have them join the cast too."
"You couple…"
Mobius was about to explode.
Hessian quickly changed the subject: "By the way, we just secured investment—from the superstar Eden. Ely, can you represent the company and discuss the investment amount with her?"
"Superstar Eden?!"
Elysia's eyes lit up: "Thank you, husband! Leave this to me—I'll definitely pull her into the company too."
"Wait!"
Mobius hurriedly said: "Elysia, remember this clearly: we're here for investment. Don't mess it up under any circumstances."
Elysia said confidently: "Don't worry! As long as we sign her to the company, we'll never have to worry about funds again."
"This…"
Fu Hua looked at Rita and Cecilia: "Is this company really okay?"
Cecilia said softly: "A company that can produce a PV like that is definitely fine. And I trust Elysia."
Rita also said: "I trust Elysia too."
Seeing this, Fu Hua had no choice but to follow them to sign contracts with Mobius.
Once their contracts were officially signed,
Hessian handed each of them a script: "These are the roles you'll be playing. Familiarize yourselves with them well."
"Okay."
…
The next day.
Hessian woke up in bed, but Elysia was already nowhere to be seen.
They had been busy with filming lately, and now that they finally had some time to rest, he had wanted to spend a little more intimate time with Elysia in the morning.
He searched the villa but truly couldn't find her.
"Did she go to work?"
He checked the time—it was only ten o'clock—and decided to sleep in a bit longer.
At the same time.
Inside the company.
The newly signed Fu Hua arrived for work with a sense of unease.
She was actually quite lost, unsure what she could do in this company. She wasn't skilled at acting and had always lived a disciplined, routine life.
She had wanted to ask Rita, who had come with her, but saw that Rita was already dressed in a maid outfit and had seamlessly slipped into the secretary role with great proficiency.
But… why does a secretary wear a maid outfit?
Seeing how happy Elysia was, perhaps it was the chairman's request?
She then wanted to ask Cecilia, only to see her gentle nature allowing her to quickly bond with Himeko and the others, discussing script-related matters.
This made Fu Hua feel even more lost and isolated.
"You're Fu Hua, right? Hi, I'm Kiana."
A girl's voice sounded beside her ear.
Fu Hua turned around and said: "I'm Fu Hua. I just joined the company."
Kiana thought for a moment and said: "New to the company, huh… Then come with me to watch Honkai Impact 3rd."
"Huh?"
Fu Hua was still a bit confused.
Kiana had already grabbed her and led her to the break room.
Bronya and the others were already seated there—clearly dragged over by Kiana as well.
On the wall of the break room hung a television, currently looping the Honkai Impact 3rd PV.
Fu Hua said: "I've already seen the PV."
Kiana replied: "Don't rush—there's one minute left."
"One minute?"
Murata Himeko, who entered afterward, explained to Fu Hua: "In one minute, the advance broadcast of the first episode of Honkai Impact 3rd begins. Sit and watch with us—I think it'll be helpful for you."
Cecilia also said: "The first episode of Honkai Impact 3rd? I'd like to see what it's like too."
"Allow me to appreciate it as well."
Eden's voice followed, with Elysia by her side.
