Go for it, Editor Su.

"The highly anticipated next update for the main storyline is progressing well," announced Luo Mo, the lead writer. "We have completed the first four chapters, and the first seven chapters of the next version's first part. Additionally, we have finished up to chapter 9 of the second part."

Excitement filled the room as the team members absorbed the progress made. However, there were still important aspects to consider. Luo Mo continued, "Now, we need to shift our focus to the second Honkai chapter, the Midsummer Sanguine Nights chapter, and Himeko's special extra."

One of the team members suggested, "Perhaps we can simplify Himeko's special extra..."

Luo Mo quickly dismissed the idea, shaking his head vigorously. "No, no, no! We cannot compromise on Himeko's special extra. We must ensure it is captivating and engaging."

Silence fell upon the room as everyone pondered the next steps. Then, a team member spoke up, "It would be logical to prioritize the second Honkai chapter for the greater good."

Luo Mo's expression grew serious as he contemplated the suggestion. However, he had already acquired some crucial information from Kiana, and it was not the right time to reveal it. Sirin problems still needed resolution.

While the appearance of certain elements in the main storyline was not a major concern, delving further into them would create inconveniences. With this in mind, Luo Mo made a decision. He summoned the top management to the conference room to discuss the next course of action.

"Today, we gather here for a company game plot discussion meeting!" Luo Mo declared with enthusiasm, his voice resonating through the conference room.

The mention of a game plot discussion meeting caught the attendees off guard. They exchanged puzzled glances, unable to comprehend the purpose of such a gathering. Their confusion was further amplified when they noticed Su Lu, the chief planner scriptwriter, standing beside Luo Mo with an expressionless face.

It was unusual to see Su Lu devoid of her usual enthusiasm. In the past, she was known for pushing the game's progress forward and displaying a cheerful demeanor. The fact that she appeared indifferent raised questions among the team members.

However, as they observed the trio of the boss, screenwriter, and planner standing together, it became clear that this gathering was simply a routine notice, a mere formality. With this realization, the attendees applauded in unison, relieved that it wasn't a drastic change in their work.

Amidst the applause, Su Lu stood in silence, lost in her thoughts. She couldn't shake off the feeling that she might face repercussions once the game was released. As a planner and scriptwriter herself, she took immense joy in her work. Discovering something she loved in her profession was the epitome of happiness for her as an adult.

However, her current state of mind hinted at a sense of urgency. Luo Mo had already discussed the relevant subplot with her, and she couldn't help but contemplate the consequences. She even toyed with the idea of writing a suicide note, imagining the possible outcomes of openly criticizing the Bishop of Schicksal.

Due to the negative player feedback regarding the current plot in the main storyline, Luo Mo addressed the issue, acknowledging that Wendy's plot was not well-received and did not align with the division's intended message. The response had been unfavorable, prompting a need for change.

To counteract the somber tone, Luo Mo proposed a new approach for the upcoming plot. "Let's create a more cozy and pleasant atmosphere for the players," he suggested. "How about we incorporate a branch activity centered around Himeko and the plot of the "Midsummer Sanguine Nights" into the Production line?"

As Luo Mo spoke, Su Lu, standing by his side, maintained an expressionless face. However, the corners of her mouth stiffened, betraying her inner thoughts. In that moment, she began to question whether the person next to her was truly human.

How could someone devoid of empathy still function, move, and articulate such ideas? How could they propose a plot like the "Midsummer Sanguine Nights" with a straight face? Furthermore, the frustration lay in the fact that she couldn't refute or present a better plot, leaving her unable to overturn her boss's decision.

With a smile on her face, Su Lu remained silent on the side. However, Luo Mo directed his dissatisfaction towards her, frowning as he asked, "Editor Su Lu, do you have any complaints about the plot you created?" His tone lowered, indicating his discontent.

Su Lu's face remained cold as she responded, "No."

Indeed, this was the agreement they had made. If they couldn't come up with a superior plot, they would have their names associated with it. It was evident that she had lost this battle. Unexpectedly, Su Lu couldn't help but worry about the consequences. If she were to die unexpectedly, would Schicksal provide compensation? These thoughts swirled in her mind.

She had no doubt that she would become the target of player criticism for the plot, which meant she would have to face her own creation. Ah, the irony that she now found herself as the screenwriter. Oh, how the tables had turned!

The high-ranking duo's unanimous agreement propelled the progress of the game forward in the conference room. Luo Mo cleared his throat and spoke with conviction, announcing their latest strategy.

"To garner more attention and anticipation for our company's game, we have decided to conduct an online live streaming event," he declared. "This live broadcast will feature three individuals: Su Lu, the editor and planner; Miss Unknown, the art director; and the deputy scriptwriter. They will primarily discuss the upcoming plot changes and the creative inspirations behind them, while also highlighting the positive aspects of our company."

Luo Mo's excitement was palpable as he encouraged a few individuals to step forward and showcase their courage in the upcoming broadcast. The art director readily volunteered, as she had been instrumental in the game's development from the beginning. Su Lu, on the other hand, stood there silently, having been present since the start of the meeting.

While the art director and Su Lu had made significant contributions, the rest of the crowd felt a sense of insignificance. The deputy scriptwriter, in particular, felt a pang of guilt. She believed that she had done very little in the company, merely adding cozy dialogues and images to the plot at the boss's request. She had also worked on an animated text called the Valkyrie's dining table, but compared to her hardworking colleagues who put in overtime every day, her workload seemed insignificant for the role of being a part of the forward-looking live show for the company's image.

However, under Luo Mo's urging, she reluctantly agreed to participate. As she heard the emphasis on proclaiming the company's beauty and positivity, Su Lu couldn't help but scoff inwardly.

If Su Lu hadn't read the plot, she would still consider the main storyline to be extremely depressing, even without knowing the outcome. The abusive nature of the production line "Midsummer Sanguine Nights" made her realize that the only sweet aspect was the Himeko plot.

With these thoughts in mind, Su Lu felt that her boss still had some remnants of a conscience, albeit not much. She believed that Himeko cozy plot was the last remaining trace of his conscience.

Just as Su Lu pondered this, Luo Mo inexplicably sneezed, his right hand embarrassedly standing alongside the two senior members.

In that moment, a glimmer of determination flashed in Su Lu's eyes. "Boss, this live broadcast must include your presence! You personally explaining will help the audience understand more, and it will also increase the game's reception and the company's reputation," she asserted, deciding to force her boss to participate.

She wasn't doing this for any personal gain. After all, she couldn't shoulder all the blame herself. At the very least, she wanted him to take some responsibility.

The other employees nodded in agreement, eager to seize the opportunity to showcase their abilities. Only Luo Mo's expression seemed frozen as he glanced at Su Lu, who refused to back down and stared at him with determination.

In the end, Luo Mo reluctantly accepted the proposal put forth by the employees. He called Su Lu alone to his office and announced to the public that he would personally explain the developments in the subsequent story.

As the employees dispersed from the conference room, they engaged in discussions about the upcoming live broadcast and its implications.

"Wow, our boss is really great! He works overtime a lot, but his salary is quite high!"

"Yeah, I wonder why he holds the screenwriter in such high regard. He even let her speak on air this time." Someone pointed at the associate scriptwriter.

"I've seen her slacking off at work several times. I never expected her to be valued so much!"

The screenwriter couldn't hold back her tears and made a vow to herself. She would definitely write a more cozy plot to make her boss happy!

...

"So, is that the reason why you spoke back to me? Are you done now?" Luo Mo sat in his boss chair, calmly sipping his tea, listening to Su Lu's ramblings.

"Yes, boss. Your presence will help our company grow. When you appear on screen, all the players will be thrilled and will chant our company's name," Su Lu stated with a serious expression, reporting her work.

As the saying goes, a leader's character is reflected in their subordinates. It was evident that Su Lu was quite the loyal servant.

"Heh." Luo Mo let out a cold, ambiguous laugh as he glanced at her and remained silent. He patted her shoulder as he walked past her and spoke in a serious tone.

"Remember, both activities are your responsibility."

Did she think it was all rainbows and sunshine? 

Come on, Editor Su, don't let yourself be defeated!
