Not paying attention to her angry tone, Kato Yusuke said clearly:

"In short, this studio will not accept any capital injection, and the same applies to anyone, so there is no need to mention this matter again."

Everyone who heard this had different expressions, and they all heard the determination in his tone.

Yinglili couldn't help but frown, vaguely aware that the atmosphere seemed to be a little different, but she didn't know what the problem was.

But before she could think about it deeply, Yusuke Kato continued.

"And Ying Lili, if you still find it difficult to accept this, you might as well discuss it with your parents after you get home and let me know your answer then."

"I want to ask a question!"

"what is the problem?"

"Regarding the planning of that game, I didn't see the budget on it. Did you forget to write it down?"

"I will never forget that kind of thing... But this time, the conditions are much more relaxed than before, so it depends on the situation."

"What does this mean?" Ying Lili frowned, disgusted with such a general statement.

Although the others did not speak, judging from some vague feelings emanating from them, it seemed that they were not entirely without curiosity.

However, Kato Yusuke had no intention of showing off and just gave the answer directly.

"What I mean is that considering the deviations and flexibility that may occur during the period, there is no way to give a specific budget.

But if it is just a rough range, my estimated upper limit is 40 million, and it will not exceed this number."

"

"——!

"""

The office was suddenly as quiet as a heavy snowfall.

…

But immediately, someone broke the silence.

"---What did you say!?"

An Yilun also jumped up from the sofa and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Our game plan has a budget of 40 million yuan——!?!?"

Ding~!

Like a slot machine, two money symbols suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Taking his behavior as an opportunity, someone else made a joint reaction.

There was a "pop" sound!

A paper fan made of folded thick newspaper came from nowhere and was suddenly slapped on his face.

"Pffff! It hurts so much——!?"

"——What do you mean by our game plan! You shameless guy! Can you please stop being embarrassed?" Ying Lili cursed loudly.

"Obviously I'm also a member of this team!? And even so! You don't need to whip me so hard, right?"

"Ah, really, I'm sorry, my hand slipped."

"This is too perfunctory!?!?" An Yilun also covered his face and complained with all his strength.

However, Eiriri was too lazy to pay attention to him and just looked at Kato Yusuke.

"And you too, Yusuke!"

She said worriedly: "Are you serious about the budget you just mentioned? Isn't that almost all the money you can afford now?"

"I am measured."

"No, what's the point? What if I have to pay compensation..."

Before she could finish speaking, Kato Yusuke interrupted her directly.

"If the final sales of the game are not good and I lose money, not only will I go bankrupt, but you will also not be able to get money. Are you willing to accept such a contract?"

"...??"

Being suddenly interrupted, Yinglili was stunned for a moment and forgot her reaction for a moment.

at this time……

Swish, duh.

"Well, I don't know yet what to do next, but this should be enough, right? Yusuke."

Megumi said this with a calm expression and handed the signed contract back to Kato Yusuke.

Kato Yusuke only took one of them, and asked her to keep the other for herself.

At this point, the first contract has been confirmed.

Followed closely.

"Tsk, you are always very subtle and good at seizing opportunities, Kato-san. You really shouldn't be underestimated."

Shiyu said with fear on his face, and returned his contract to Kato Yusuke.

"...Ah, um, well, I wanted to ask Kasumigaoka-senpai what the timing was, but let's forget it."

Hui was briefly confused when her name was called, but soon stopped worrying.

"...You did it on purpose! Do you really want to be number one?"

"First...? Ah, in that case, shouldn't it be better for me to wait for Kasumigaoka-senpai to hand it over first before handing over the contract?"

"Kato-san, you are indeed..."

"The next one is Eiri-ri~"

…

Anyway, the second contract has been confirmed.

However, there is no signature on it. This is because Yusuke and Shiyu have discussed it in advance.

In order to avoid any surprises, the contract with Shiyu will not be officially signed until her contract with Immortal River ends.

…

Everything is for the sake of safety, so there are no contradictions or special reasons.

"Hui...? Kasumigaoka Shiyu...? You guys..."

Yinglili, who witnessed all the changes, opened her eyes slightly, her expression seemed a little surprised.

"So……"

Kato Yusuke coughed slightly and asked her: "What are you going to do? Eiriri, do you need to think about it for a few more days?"

"Think about...how many days...?"

"Like I said, you can go back and discuss it with your parents."

"Well……?"

During Ying Lili's hesitation, An Yilun touched her arm with his elbow and whispered a reminder.

"Hey, Yinglili, what are you hesitating about? Why don't you just sign your name?"

"Ah, I get it! Anyway, just sign it! I didn't say I won't sign it, so why are you all doing this? It makes me so angry!"

Eiriri said unhappily, but finally signed the contract, stamped her seal, and then handed one of the copies back to Kato Yusuke.

With the three contracts concluded, things at the studio have been settled.

Kato Yusuke took the contract, glanced at the faces of the three girls who each had special meaning to him, then smiled from the bottom of his heart, and said in a sincere tone:

"Thank you for trusting me and let us continue to give you more guidance in the future.

——Hui, Shiyu-senpai, Yinglili.”

Faced with his remarks, the three girls had very different reactions.

Hui Shi lowered the corners of her eyes slightly and gave him a clear and shallow smile.

Shiyu raised his eyebrows slightly, with a faint smile on his beautiful lips, admiring him as if he were appreciating a collection.

Ying Lili turned her face away coyly, raising her delicate chin slightly proudly, but she couldn't help but peek at him with her peripheral vision.

Although the three people have different personalities, the look in their eyes when they look at him contains trust and intimacy, which condenses all the experiences they have had since getting along with him.

It was as if there was an invisible thread connecting them together, forming a circle that no outsider could easily step into, and there was a faint sense of isolation.

Shintiao Xiang and An Yilun also watched the scene silently, each with their own thoughts in mind, but no one spoke.

The former took out a lollipop from his pocket, opened the package and ate it.

The latter lowered his head deeply, and the lenses of his black-rimmed glasses reflected white light, making it difficult to see his expression clearly, but his brows were furrowed deeply, and he didn't know what he was thinking...
